Altgdd sad Anarchy. i The pardoning of the three anarch­ ists by Gov. Altgeld is being exten­ sively discussed by the press of the Whole country, but there is not BO touoh oritlclsm of hie official act in re­ leasing the prisoners as there is of his iunoalled for strictures upon the judge and iurv by whom they were trioa. His tirade against the courts ia goner aHv deprecated by papers of all parties. Following are some of the opinions of leading journals: Chicago. It was generally understood that they were to be let go in the event of Alt­ geld's election. The anarchists be­ lieved that he was not merely an alien by birth, but an'alien by temperament and sympathies, and they were right. He has apparently not a drop of true American blood in his veins. He does not reason like an American, nor feel like one, and consequently he does not . behave like one. The Governor indi- ' eates that he disapproves in toto of the THB Infanta Eulalie is said to have complimented a New York hostess who gave a ball in her honor by OD» serving that it was the swellest thing she had attended since the great so- bull light at Havana. Any sort of royal compliment would be appre­ ciated by the New York snobs. THB Nebraska City National Bank owns a herd of buffaloes. What a pity that the species is so nearly ex- t'net. Otherwise the financial insti­ tutions of the Zimri Dwigglns order throughout the country might sur­ round themselves with securities of this kind and raise a very formidable couoter-stampede in case of a run. SOME newspaper man started the report that a Brookfleld, N. J., girl kneads bread with her gloves on. An exchange answers: "We also need , -bread with onr shoes on, with our pants on, and our clothes on. We need it badly, too, and if our delin­ quents do not soon pay up we will need it without any pants on." DESPITE the action of the Presby­ terian General Assembly in suspend­ ing Dr. Br legs, there seems to be,even in the churcl) itself, a lively differ­ ence of opinion as to the justice of thesentence. At Philadelphia Rev. Thomas A Hoyt declared that Briggs was a convicted heretic and would sink like lead under the ecclesiastical waters. At Wilmington. DeL, Bev. A. N. Kewein characterized the trial as s»trave8ty of justice and said that a more absurd verdict had never been rendered. Rev. D, B. Gregg enter­ tained a similar opinion and told his congregation at Baltimore that within three years the General As­ sembly would be glad to take back the man whom it had branded *s a heretic. Here, therefore, is a case where doctors--doctors of divinity, too--disasree. Who among the laity shall decide? Does a majority vote in a theological body carry with it the impress of divine truth? And, if so, how about the decrees of the in­ numerable councils of the early church which have been twisted, kicked, and buffeted until scarcely a shred of the originals remain?--Chicago Herald. RELIGIOUS thinkers who have been analyzing the vote in the Brigss case $nd that the liberal feeling is strong in the cities, but that the con­ servative tendency predominates in the country districts. This is easily explained. Religion is more a senti­ ment in the country, while in the cities the tendency is to take each man for what he is, rather than what he believes. It is more than proba­ ble that more than one local divine would And himself a defendant in a heresy trial if he thought it wise to eay what he thinks.--Star Saying* . BONANZA MACK AY says he is In no sense a speculator. "I doubt," he added, "if I ever bought 10,000 shares of stock in Wall street ia my life. 1 do'not believe in speculating.** This quiet, modest man of twenty million dollars, who prefers tea and beefsteak to champagne and terrapin, shuns society with the same deter­ mination that other less wealthy and popular men seek it. His4 wife is gevoted to it. It is an open secret that she spends in London 975,000 to 9100,000 in enter­ taining her friends and the nobility. Mr. Mackay Is happy to supply the means as long as his popular wife forgives him for not participating in her gayeties. THE Pennsylvania State authori­ ties have refused, or at least neglected, to pay the expense of ex­ traditing two criminals from Canada, and now Canada refuses to arrest anv more fugitives from the United States until the old bill of costs is paid; and payment must be made in advance or secured before any new expense will be Incurred under the extradition treaty. Two murderers named Har­ ris Blank and B. C. Rosen wig were wanted a year ago In Pennsylvania, were found in Canada, to which they had fled, were extradited on requisi tion, were tried, convicted, and hanged. The bill of costs in Canada was sent to the United States Secre- retary of State, who made the requi­ sition for the prisoners; but he re ferred the Canadian officer to the State of Pennsylvania. While com plaining that he was shoved off in this way, application was made to Pennsylvania, to which no reply was received. A part of the amount was due to a typewriter, and she has since died in poverty. Recently there was a requisition made for a man in Mon­ treal. charged with a murderous as­ sault in New York City. The police refused to make the arrest, and were justified by the local courts Penn­ sylvania should hurry up and make amends for its neglect and shiftless, ness. Or. rather, the United States should pay these little bills and look to the States for reimbursement. PEOPLE are not always well in­ formed concerning the usefulness of the toad. If he does sot carry a jewel in his head he is quite as valu­ able as if he did, for be does a work no gardener can do iu clearing a gar­ den of its insect pests. Many a gard­ ener builds this little gnome small dwellings of blt6 of stone in the nooks of his flower-beds, and cherishes him as a valuable assistant, destroy- f* ing larvae, worms, and flies, as he does with neatness and despatch. A very remote cousin of the garden toad, commonly called the tree-toad, is really a frog; he looks so much like the old bark and lichens on the tree he frequents that it is difficult to discover him. The song with which he helps the%cricket break the peace of summer nights is apt to be a true prophecy of rain. THIS little true story from the Bur­ lington Hawkeye will be interesting to newspaper publishers: "It is not often that a journal receives an order from a subscriber to stop his paper under circumstances like those at­ tending an order of that character received by the Hawkeye last week. •1 believe I will pay for the Hawkeye for two years in advance,' said Mr. Cyrus Clingman. of Danville, 'and then you may stop the paper ' Mr. Clingman is a well-to-do citizen of Danville and has read the paper for many years. He did not withdraw bis subscription because of any fault he had to find with bis paper; on the contrary Be signified his appreciation of the Hawkeye by repaying his sub­ scription for two years in advance.

Women have made a special suc- cuss in the training school for libra­ rians that has resulted from the pres­ ent system in vogue by the con­ ductors of the State Library at Al­ bany. Three of the great popular institutions of instruction, tbe Pratt {in Brooklyn, the Drexel in Philadel­ phia, and the Armour in Chicago, have all secured both chief librarians and assistants from recent graduates of tbe State Library School. Dur­ ing the past month requests for libra­ rians came only from several parts of New York State, but also from Ten­ nessee, Minnesota, Indiana, Cali­ fornia, Montana, two from Pennsyl­ vania, and Wisconsin, and three from. Illinois. Propositions were received also from New England States re­ garding three others. One of the young women employed r t the State Library has accepted a position as assistant librarian in Philadelphia, and another leaves this week to be­ come an assistant in the Helena (Mont.) Public Library. Few of the general public know of this new avenue open for women's work, or that such a profession has evolved a regular school for training Its mem­ bers.--Baltimore Su&. Bow Various Races Sit; The ideal of a graceful sitting pos­ ture has varied in the different ages of the world. The Egyptians sat bolt upright, tbe knees and leet pressed together. It was the ceremonial at­ titude. The Greeks and Romans, when their seats had no backs and they aere at liberty to forget their dignity, sat stooping, with one or both elbows supporteu by the arms. The Chinese ideal was the knees und feet wide apart They have maintained that attitude in sitting for 4,000 years. The Saxons and early Nor­ man Kings are represented , in old manuscripts and coins in the same [ position.

The people who exchanged Gororaor Filer, who resolutely refused to pardon the Hayroarkpt assassins, for Governor Altgeld, who has been impatient ever since election day to set inese fellows free, have got what they bargained for. Star-Sayings. Governor Altgeld's pardon of the Chicago anarchists is a crime against society, a crime against law, a crime against justice, a crime against mora]? and a crime against the high office held by the man whose signature, com­ pletes the infamy.--Globe-Democrat. Wuhlnftim. In pardoning the three anarchists, Gov. Altgeld has struck a blow at our civilization. An alien himself, and having little or no stake in the prob­ lem of American social evolution, he is perhaps able to contemplate the result with equanimity. It may even be that, he sees hie way to political promotion by reason of his cteme cy. But the people constitute the ultimate author­ ity in this land, and the people once outraged and aroused know how to guard their welfare against any foe.-- Post. His terrific blow at law and order will raise in the minds of many serious doubts as to the soundness of his citi­ zenship. Strange, indeed, Is it that not until now should such discoveries have been made; strange, too, that they should be made by a man whose intel­ lectual force has hitherto been unheard of; and, more strangely than all, that the discoverer should h«,vo carried, ou his work with such secrecy. The Ohi- oago anarchists of 1886 were murder­ ers--rebellious, society-destroying mur­ derers--who were properly punished. --Star. GOT. Altkeld rldea over the United States Su­ preme Court and trees bis mind about tbe sr.r.rchist case. verdict of the jury. The patriotic people of Chicago do not. Nor do they approve of their socialist Governor.-- Tribune. There is no instance before, we be lieve, where a pardon has been made the instrument of attack on an honored bench.--Mail. The Governor would have done bet­ ter if he had contented himself with issuing the pardons without giving in detail the reasons for his action.-- Herald. His friends might well wish that he had confined himself to his preroga­ tive and abstained from unwarranted denunciations of the court and lawyers and officers who took part, each ac­ cording to his lights, in the famous trial of seven years ago.--Poet. He did not stop with the exercise of his prerogative. He went out of his way to criticise the Judge who presided over the trial court and the chief de­ tective who ferreted out the testimony in the case. This was without ex cuse and positively outrageous.--Inter Ocean. Gov. Altgeld has rendered the State a poor service in accompanying his par don of Fielden, Schwab and Neebe with a controversial manifesto. If the men released were unjustly convicted so were those who suffered death on the gallows. If Gov. Altgeld's contention fa true they were murdered.--News. Governor Altgeld condemns Judge Gary for what he considers his preju­ dices and for his "malicious ferocity" in a document that is surcharged with venom and whose tone is more danger­ ous, owing to the position of the au­ thor, than the ravings of the ignorant anarchists who were hanged.--Journal. The Times can not commend this at­ tack upon a branch of the government co-ordinate with the Executive. It was not his duty nor his prerogative to usurp the functions of the historian, to pry into the motive, to profess to inter­ pret the seoret mental processes of Judge, jurymen, prosecutors and wit­ nesses.--Times. Not content merely to exercise his right to pardon the prisoners, the Gov­ ernor has overruled the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois. Apparently the Governor believes that the men who were hanged were martyrs, and that Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, with­ out having spoken a word of contri­ tion, were to be released as wronged and blameless men.--Record. New York. Governor Altgeld's reasons for set­ ting the verdict aside are even more astonishing than the action itself. In fact, the document reads almost as if the Governor himself was an anarchist. --Post. Governor Altgeld thinks 17,000 words would be enough to justify him and the law-abiding citizens of Illinois in over­ riding the decrees of courts and juries with a document that will be received with acclaim only by the enemies of law and order.--Sun. Governor Altgeld of Illinois has as­ sumed a responsibility of the gravest character in pardoning the anarchists. That the anarchists had a fair trial and were justly condemned is the universal opinion of Americans whose opinions are worth regarding.--Tribune. The Governor's action is not ac­ cepted nor regarded as mercy. It makes martyrs of the men who paid the penalty of their revolting crime on the gallows, and sanctifies hereafter the devotion of the day of their execu­ tion to memorial services.--World. He treats their conviction a3 a scan­ dalous outrage on justice. It is strange that Governor Altgeld, who has been in office six months, has just made this amazing discovery. It is more re­ markable that it was not made by any of his predecessors during seven years, or by either the Supreme Court of Illinois or the Supreme Court of the United States, both of which affirmed the conviction.--Herald. His denunciation of the judicial pro­ ceedings, his attack upon the judge and jury, and his onslaught upon the sup­ porters of law and order are exactly in the tone of the wildest anarchist lead­ ers. Gov. Altgeld has committed po­ litical suicide. It reveals him as an enemy to the safeguards of society. It is a question whether the people of Illinois will endure his presence in their highest office for the term to which he was elected before his real character was known.--Times. - St. Irfmto. Three as big scoundrels as ever cut throat or scuttled ship have been turned loose upon the world by Gov. John P. Altgeld. He has done his party a wrong from which it will take it many years to recover. The only re­ deeming feature of the whole shameful transaction is that it cute short the political career of John,^. .Altgeld.-- Chronicle. „ COST OF CHANGE. WOSFUL " RESULT 7 D6MO- .....

We venture to predict that if he runs for office again the people of Illinois will show their emphatic disapproval.-- Herald. What a fraud on decency this is only those can understand who followed this conspiracy and trial. But Altgeld was probably pledged to this act before his election last fall. He is a socialist him­ self--a man who ten years ago never could have been considered for Gov­ ernor of Illinois.--Record. The Democratic Governor of Illinois secured many thousand votes by cater­ ing to the worst elements of Chicago and Illinois society, and it was expected that he would pardon some of the an­ archists, but that he would let loose upon the community Schwab and Fielden, Serving life sentences, few persons save his intimates predicted.-- Transcript. ' Philadelphia. It would have been impossible- to have selected from the jails in any part of the country objects of executive clemency whose pardon would be likely to bring about results so pernicious ana harmful to the public welfare.--Record. The people of Illinois have suddenly awakened to a partial realization of the consequences of their act in No­ vember last. To intelligent outsiders it seemed incomprehensible that in a law abiding commonwealth, wherein bedrock American principles have not been wholly set aside, such a man as John P. Altgeld could be deliberately chosen to the executive office.--Tele­ graph. ... • New Orleans. . There Wfts no possible reason to In­ terfere with what the court did. The anarchists were justly condemned and should have stayed where they were.-- Picayune. Wnen Governor Altgeld, coming to the assistance of the anarchist#, as­ saults the judiciary, the police and other authorities, and excuses the bomb throwers of the Haymarket, it is, indeed, "Illinois' disgrace," and not a disgrace to it alone, but a threaten­ ing danger to the whole country.-- Times-Democrat. Cincinnati. Now these anarchists thus convicted are to be turned loose upon a civilized community. The people of Illinois have a mountebank in the Governor's chair. The performance can hardly be classed as a trick of a demagogue. It rather appears to be the act pf one who has waited for an opportunity so to declare himself.--Tribune. It would be interesting to know what ulterior object is concealed by the re­ dundant paper of Altgeld which accom­ panied the pardon; what political Scheme he is attempting to hatch by this prostitution of executive clemency. --Times-Star. * Saa Francisco. Not content to exercise his right of pardoning the anarchists, he under­ takes to justify his reversal of the ac­ tion of two courts. The lesson of this incident is for Illinois to beware of electing another such socialistic and demagogic crank for its Governor.-- Chronicle. If Altgeld had given as a reason pity for the suffering these men had en­ dured, he could nave gratified his ten­ derness toward the anarchists without danger of encouraging them and of weakeningthearm of American justice. As it is, he has grossly misued his power.--Report. Detroit. Gov. Altgeld is a traitor to the State of Illinois and to the nation of which he is a citizen. He has unlawfully ex­ ercised executive clemency and might almost as well lead in person an attack upon the persons and property of the Commonwealth of which he is the un­ worthy Governor. For whatever may follow let the Anarchist Governor of Illinois be held responsible.--Tribune. Milwaukee. This unwarranted assault on the courts by the Governor of the State will breed more anarchists than all the speeches and writings of the men he has released. As Governor Altgeld presents the case Mrs.Parsons with her red flag- is'an angel of justice and light. --Sentinel. Asks Gov. Altgeld to Resign. Ex-Mayor M. M. Secor, of Racine, Wis., upon reading that Gov. Altgel4 had pardoned the anarchists, wired the following dispatch to the Governor: To the Governor of Illinois, Springfield, Hi.: With regret I eay to you you are a disgrace, to our American Republic, to tbe State of 1111-* noia. to the Democratic party, and to the na­ tionality yon belong to. Besifm your office and Join the brothers yon have pardoned. Iher. BECOE. Birds of the same feather flock toiret M. M, Johann Most Raves. New York's famous anarchist, Johann Most, delivers himself ofa four-column editorial in Die E^-eiheit, of whioh the following is a sample paragraph: Welcome! We greet them as soldiers return­ ing to our ranks ready to again nnsheath the sword against all that is wrong--church, state, and capital--and to aid of all things good- anarchy, communism, and the t-oinal revolu­ tion. Unfurl your blood-red banners, com­ rades, the world over, and let us celebrate this feast of jubilation, for we have received power­ ful re-enforcements to our army; fight, and victory shall be ours. The anarchists who were hanged the llth of November, 1887, were murdered. Yes. murdered by capital's blood­ thirsty assassins, and the crime oommltted by tbe State that sanctioned the execution was the most damnable ever committed and is without parallel We must have a reckoning with the mood-sucking crowd; bnt, comrades, let ns be prepared the next time they attack us. and give them a heartier (weleome than that accorded Bonfield and Us hordes in U8t - Dee to Demeessejr* the late Presidential paign our condition was not only pros­ perous but promising. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, our exports exceeded our imports by $102,873,686. Failures were few, banks were sound, with rare exceptions, and labor had more employ, at wages better in pro­ portion to costs of living, than ever be­ fore. The campaign came, its result foreboding a change of policy as to in­ dustry and finances. As to industry, a breaking up of the safeguards of pro­ tection; as to finance, a change from the former conditions to--nobody knew, and nobody to-day knows what. What are the* results so far? Our balance of foreign trade has changed. We buy more than we sell--a bad thing for man or nation. Our imports for twelve months to April 1,1803, exceeded our exports by $53,t/*6,6c6--a swinging around from the balance in our favor in 1892 of $156,500,372. The industrial tide was so strong and high that it sweeps on yet, but with ominous signs of a ooming turn. Employment and wages are yet good, but with a weak­ ening nnd shrinking tendency. Prudent men foresee and prepare for free trade --a preparation which means either stopping business or work at lower wages, Tailing heavily on the workers. Failures increase, banks crash, stoaks of railroads fall 10 per cent., "indus­ trials" 52 per cent., by careful esti­ mates. Gold began to flow outward last November, exports rising to $18,- 000,000 in March to $6,500,000 the first week in June, and free trade plans point to increased imports of goods, less em­ ploy at home, and more gold exports- It may be said that there are no changes in legislation; the McKinley and the Republican fiscal meth­ ods are still in operation. True; but there is grave doubt and small hope of their continuance, and total uncer­ tainty as to what may take their plaoe. Confidence wanes and paralysis gains. We hear of reform, in tariff and finance.* Reform is reconstruction, building new and better; but it is only destruction that impends. "Down with the tariff: down with national banks and 'gold bags' " are the cries we hear. But has President Cleveland, or any Washing­ ton official, anything to offer in their Blace--any definite plan of reform? ntil they have, the talk about reform is nonsense and deceptive folly. How much has this change, with free trade for its war cry, cost the nation? Would $500,000,000 be a fair approximation to a correct answer? What will it cost in four years? Wait and Bee. The work­ ing-man will have a heavy share of that cost to bear. "The powers that be" are ready promisors of reform, but ready only to destroy, lacking power to reconstruct Is not the change very costly? « ; A Free-Trade Tariff. Under a Free-Trade tariff, with duties for revenue only, levied on non­ competitive articles, the amount of money which is now secured by the McKinley tariff could easily be raised. The sugar duties repealed in 1890, and the coffee and tea duties repealed in 1872, if reimposed, would in themselves provide fully 75 per cent, of the amount which is required. The Journal prepared during the campaign a statement of how the money required to run the National Government could be raised in con­ formity with the demands of the Dem­ ocratic national platform. Consider tho McKinley tariff law repealed in its entirety. This simple tariff may be substituted in its stead, and not only carry out the Chicago declaration of the Democracy, but, combined with the internal revenue taxes, will fur­ nish all the money required for the Government: Sugar--3 cents a poond 1108,900,000 Coffee--5 cents a pound 83,0*7,000 Tea--10 cents a pound 9,S89,ooo Spices--10 cents a pound 9,040,000 Cocoa--10 cents a pound. 3,150,000 Cork, rubber, raw sUk, fan, etc. 95,000,000 Bananas, dates, cotfOanuts, etc 8,000,000 Total.... $183,012,000 Thus over $182,000,000 of tariff rev­ enue could be annually raised. This is all that is required. The entire reve­ nue raised from the McKinley tariff during the year ending June 30, 1892, was less than $178,000,(XX), and the esti­ mate for the present year is $195,000,- 000. By this substitute tariff, which is simplicity itself, sufficient revenue might be raised, Qvery shred and ves­ tige of "unconstitutional" protection might be stripped from the tariff, and the democratic demand for a tariff " for revenue only" might be met. This is the British methpd. It would raise the price of what the peoplo buy, and take away their labor as artisans 01* workmen, cutting them both ways, like a two-edged sword. The Democ­ racy dare not do it. Let them try. and then look out for a cyclone.--Albany Journal (Dem.). Dismiss Terrell. Democratic newspapers, which ought to be competent authority, state that A. W. Terrell, of Texas, whom Mr. Cleveland has selected to represent the United States as Minister to Turkey, is the author of a poem exalting and al­ most deifying John Wilkes Booth for the murder of Abraham Lincoln. The people of the United States who were loyal to the cause of the Union have for­ given the men who attempted to destroy theUnion; they have pardoned.although they will never forget, the effort of the slaveholding aristocracy to perpetuate slavery at the expense of the nation's existence; they nave cheerfully re­ stored the former Confederates to all the rights and privileges of citizenship, and have even accepted the results of national elections, carried by force and fraud on the part of the solid South; but they cannot forgive any man who applauded the monstrous crim*) which deprived the nation of its President, in the very hour when the great typical American of Americans had seen the weary and mighty struggle brought to a victorious conclusion. The issue is squarely presented whether a President of the United States proposes to retain in official po­ sition a man who indorsed and approved the assassination of a former President of the United States. Grover Cleve­ land cannot afford to indorse assassina­ tion by bestowing honor and prefer­ ment on the eulogist of a murderer, and it is demanded by the loyal senti­ ment of the United States that Terrell, of Texas, shall be dismissed from the offloe he disgraces. .The Wildcat Money Danger. The suspension of sevenal banks, both State and national, in California, and of a private bank operated under the statutes of Pennsylvania adds another to the series of disastrous "object les­ sons" which the Democratic party is inflicting upon the country. One needs only to imagine the removal of the wo- _ issued by I how multiplied hsre becoi the by these loealsnspen- if each of the private banks nad had untold quantities of Its paper float­ ing about the country as currency. As for the suspensions themselves they are but symptoms of the uneasiness caused by the accession of the Demo­ cratic party to power. -Pardon of the Anarchists. Governor Altgeld has pardoned the three convicted anarchists, Schwab, Fielden, and Neebe, from the Joliet penitentiary. In doing so he has exer­ cised his constitutional right to extend clemency. But he did not stop with the exercise of his prerogative. Not content to merely exercise his right to pardon the prisoners, the Governor has overruled the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois. He declares that the men indicted for the Haymarket killing were 'tried by a prejudiced jury before a prejudiced judge; that the riot yras the result of police brutality and the denial of the right of peaceable as­ sembly; that there was not sufficient proof of guilt against the prison­ ers. He went out of his way to criticise the judge who presid­ ed over the trial court and the Chief deisective who ferreted out the testimony in the case. This was with* out excuse and positively outrageous. The awful crime oocurred in May, 1886, more than seven years ago. The trial was a long one, and on appeal was care­ fully reviewed by the Supreme Court of Illinois. The case was even brought before the Supreme Court of the United States. Neither of these high courts found anything to criticise. The trial was really a monument, of justice and had the desired effect, for there has been no r^tempt since then to put anarchistic ideas In practice, but if anything could kindle anew the flames of anarchy it would be the spec­ tacle which the Democratic Governor of Illinois makes of himself in his ar­ raignment of Judge Gary and Detective Bonfield. The Inter Ocean says that the pardon is only a fulfillment of one of the Governor's ante-election prom­ ises. and perhaps few, if any. will be surprised at it. The demagogical argu­ ment, however, with which this social­ istic sympathizer promulgates the par­ don to the world will astonish many, and it will not draw friends either for anarchists or for the Governor from the rank and file of the American people, who love their country and believe in law and order. ILLINOIS INCIDE BOBBR OR STARTLING, FAITH# FUIXV RECORDED. that Some Interesting Figures The Treasury statistics show our Esrchssdis? exports for the ending May 31, 189:}, were $1,022,984,- 545, and during the year ending May 31, 1893, they were $848,373,845, a docrease of $174,610,700. The im­ ports during the same years were $828,848,119 and $936,901,281 respective­ ly, an increase of $108,053,168, making a total change against us of over $282,- 000,000 in the last compared with the preceding year. IB anything more needed to explain and account for the late outflow of gold? If a farmer goes to a country store and sells ten dol­ lars' worth of butter and eggs and buys twenty dollars' worth of gro­ ceries and dry goods, how does he settle the difference? How but by drawing it from his pocket and making payment? This is precisely what this country has been doing during the last six months. The newspapers, says the Kansas City Journal, that have been so industrious in scaring the country into financial hysterics by charging this gold movement upon the Sherman law, without ono particle of evidence that that has had the least thing to do with It. had better be intelligent enough to see the cause, and honest enough to state it. The simple fact is that we bought more than we sold, and had to pay the difference In gold, and we were abundantly able to do it; and there is no possible reason why this should cre­ ate alarm. A Tariff Bill Impossible. While every section of the country has Its free* traders as theorists, the greater part of them are protectionists when it comes to the industries of their special localities. Virginia, West Vir- glnia( Tennessee and Alabama may be very emphatic for free woolen, glass, silk and other goods, but they will fight desperately against free iron ore and coal. Representatives of many of the pig iron producing States would vote to put many other articles on the free list, but would never support a bill which would take half the duty from that product. The South Caro­ linian shouts for free wool and a rev­ enue tariff, but when it comes to ripe he demands a McKinley tariff. And so it will be all along the line, and being so, it will make the passage of a rev­ enue tariff bill well-nigh Impossible.--> Indianapolis Journal. --- < The Bank Problem. It is curious that at the very time when the Do moo rata are preparing to repeal the 10 per cent, tax on State bank circulation and so flood the coun­ try with wild eat currency the au­ thorities of Australia, which has just experienced a most terrible loss from this very kind of money, are preparing to move in a precisely opposite direc­ tion. The governments of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia have agreed that two features of a" sound system of banks of issue are in­ dispensable; there must be uniform banking laws, and there must be such inspection regulations as those of the United States national banking sys­ tem. The Democratic policy is to re­ vive the dead past as far as possible and to adopt the very measures that other nations are abandoning as faat as they can. .Will Be Sadly Mistaken. After their experience with Gover­ nor McKinley two years ago we should think the Democrats would cease mak­ ing the idiotic charge that he is "a man with but one idea." He floored Campbell on every issue in the cam­ paign of 1891, and his speech of accept­ ance at the Columbus convention was ohockful.of issues which the Dem­ ocrats will have to discuss. If the Bourbon orators are going into the campaign this year with the hope that they can limit the discussion to the tariff question thev will be sadly mis­ taken.--Cleveland "Leader. Hedging. Notwithstanding the loud complaints made against the McKinley law during the campaign last year, contingencies have developed that will not permit the revenue of the Government to be radically reduced, and some of the most vigorous tariff reformers are now advocating conservative action.-- Washington Post. Holmans Are to Blame. While Ainsworth has undoubtedly been a pitiless taskmaster, it must not be forgotten that his responsibility in the fbrd theater disaster should be shared by the Holmans in the House who made the condition possible by their niggardly policy.

The murderer gave himself up and is now, in jail. The reason he gave was that for some time past Franklin has been abusing him, and Thursday knocked Bullard down twice and threatened to whip him on sight. This became wu- bearable to Bullard, who is a man of slight build, and he procured a shotgun and loaded it. When he met Franklin, who was sitting on a box, he walkea out into the street about thirty feet from him and ordered him to stand up.

THE weekly crop bulletin issued by the Illinois wepther service says: The ^temperature of the last seven days has been above the normal in the northern ' ' and central counties of the State. In the southern division it has been about . or slightly above a seasonable average. While the amount of precipitation for the week has been generally below a seasonable amount, it was fairly dis­ tributed and very beneficial. The pep* cent age of sunshine has been about a seasonable average. Corn has madet excellent growth, is generally clean* and in many localities has been culti­ vated the second time. Wheat har­ vesting is progressing in the southern counties, but has been retarded some­ what by the rain. In the central coun­ ties wheat is now ready to liarvest. * The wheat standing now presents a more favorable prospect for a crop in, many of the central and northern coun­ ties than was anticipated earlier in the season. Rust, scab and smut is report-: ed in some sections. Oats are in excel- 'lent condition and ripening fast. Clover hay cutting is progressing throughout the State and in many counties is fin- ished. Potatoes are doing* well and iiL some sections being dug. Tomatoes are ripening fast and in some localities are being marketed. Fruit of all kinds will be light. Meadows and pastures are still in fine condition: but com­ plaints of injury by worms are received.
