Altgeld pardon that miserable convicted sinner who slew Carter Harrison ? Perhaps not, for the governor claims friendship for the mayor Who was the victim, in this instance. !!&•* ' Representative Moree, of chneetto, contributed a witty thing to the tariff debate of this week. Said he: "The democrats are wont to describe their party and policy as the party of Jefferson, Jackson, and the Constitution. They must mean Jefferson Davis, Stone­ wall Jackson, and the Confederate con­ stitution. Thomas Jefferson aad Andrew Jackaon were protectionists." IV The Elgin Every Saturday perti­ nently remarks: "It will be remembered that one of the Republican orators, who spoke here during the last presidential campaign, predicted that a democratic victory would cripple and perhaps close onr watch factory. The democrats who heard him said he lied. In the language of Billy Patterson and in the light of subsequent events, Who is a liar?" IflTTbe Republicans of Chicago, after a careful investigation of the facte in the case, have decided to contest the election of Mayor Hopkins. The grounds are gross frauds and erroneous counts of Mr. Swift's vote. Those having the matter in charge, say the evidence is complete, and the contest will be pushed. The announcement of this decision by the Rebnblicans caused excitement and dismay among the democrats. lfiP*Mr. Dole, of Honolulu, enjoys a greater meed of respect from the Ameri­ cans in Hawaii than just at present does Mr. Cleveland from his subjects in this country. And there is sound reason for this condition. Mr. Cleveland has for­ gotten that he is simply a very plain every day American although a "man of destiny." He is moire dangerously near an autocratic dictator than any presi­ dent yet tenanting the White House. iSTCongressman Burrows says: The McKinley tariff never closed a mill in the United States, shut up a mine, stopped a wheel, blew out a furnace fire or drove a single workmen into the streets. This general paralysis of business throughout the country comes solely from the ascen­ dancy of a political party pledged to re­ peal the act of 1890 and the substitution therefor of a tariff divested of all protec­ tive features. With such a party in full control of the government, is it any wonder that domectic manufacturers suspend operations until advised of the conditions under which the; must mar- ket their output. The more careful one reads the speech of Hon. A, J. Hopkins, lately delivered in the Bnw of Representatives, the more he finds to commend therein. He first dealt with the mongrel charac­ ter of the Wilson bill; next reviewed the history of Amrican tariffs, showing that, protection has always brought prosper­ ity, while the opposite policy had had the opposite effect; then showed that •-|M'if'--I / lui' 44 U d !E V«*3 iiitiUV itive goods cheap**, and finally took up the subject of the tariff as related to farming industries. He went back to the days before the war, and thus spoke of the conditions that then prevailed: A farmer with 160 acres of the richest land that God ever blessed man with would not produce enough, when reduced to money under free trade prices, to pay bis taxes, support his family, furnish himself with a new suit of clothes and his wife with a calico dress. In those days there were no carpets on the floor, no pictures on the wall, and no books in the home, and the rudeet kind of furniture was all that could be afford­ ed by even the most fortunate ones among the farmers. The soil yielded abundant crops, but there was no mar­ ket for tne corn, w heat and other cerealw raised. The strictest economy was the order of the day. The girls and boys of the family were all required to engage in the hardest kind ot manual labor to help their parents eke out their humble exis­ tence; while three months' schooling in the winter season at a crossroad school- house, reached sometimes by almost im­ passible roads, was the extent of educa­ tional advantages that were given. The good old Democratic days mentioned as so favorable to the farmer, always bring to my mind the picture of privation and distress through which the farmers of Illinois were compelled to pass during the period it was under Democratic free trade control. Mr. Hopkins then showed how super­ ior to-day is the condition of the Illinois farmer in respect to home comforts, ad­ vantages for their children, and general manner of living. The effect of a near­ by home market furnished by diversified industries as contrasted with a too close confinement to agricultural par- suits was shown by the following figures: Prof. Dodge, of the agricultural de­ partment, has divided the states of the Union into four classes or groups; the first class is where the per cent of the population of the states engaged in farming is less than 30; the second clai-s is where the per cent is over thirty and less than 50; the third class is where the farmers number over 50 per cent and are less than 70 percent of the aggregate population of the states ̂ and the fourth class is where the farmers number over 70 per cent of the population of the states. In the states comprised in the first class Prof. Dodge tells us that| the value of land per acre will average $38:65; in the second class it will aver­ age f30.55; in the third class, $ 13.53, and in the fourth class, $5.18. This demonstrate that farmers derive great benefit from being purrounded by protected industries, saying nothing about the protective duties on their own products. Well-paid wage workers live better and spend more money than poorly paid c|nes, and they are necessa­ rily large consumers of the fruits of field, garden and stockyard. Thus protection preserves superior conditions of life and conduces to the general prosperity. Mr. Hopkins cleared the air of a great deal of the dust which free traders have raised to blind the farmers. His unanswerable assertions and his convincing arguments furnished clear proof that agriculture and manufactures have the strongest reasons for holding together in support of the protective policy. A Louisville paper contains an inter­ view with Governor McKinley in which the great champion of protection talks of the tariff in its relation to the South. The Wilson bill, he says is the assertion of the policy of the old South and an utter disregard of the whole policy of the new South with its new conditions. The McKinley bill, on the contrary, had re­ cognised those new conditions and was i not,». M'i'.i ioitMl mMfctuirA for the Itonefit,>f j the north alone. It is in this conflict between the old South and the new that the possibility lies of putting an end to Bourbon rule in the southern states. The visitor to Birmingham will find that old line Dem­ ocrats there are bitterly opposed to free trade. The only thing that has kept them from "breaking away is the race question which plays such an important part in every southern community. Whenever they talk tariff they come back to this as if there were actually a threat of the negro domination which appears in the wild imaginings of the New York Sun. Thus a mere bugaboo has prevented them from voting with that party whose economic policy they approve. They condemn rabid Northern­ ers who wave the blood shirt when they, themselves, cling to the memories of the reconstruction period as if it were a living issue. As Gov. McKiniey says the facts are before these men, and it is hardly possi­ ble that they will allow an old prejudice to work them ill much longer. They really need protection worse than the North because their industries have been established for a short time only. No# that they have discovered that oppor­ tunities are equal everywhere under a tariff, we shall hear less and less from them of sectional legislation. They will some time gladly acknowledge that Gov. McKinley was right in saying: "This is not a sectional question, it is not a ques­ tion of North and South, it is a question of patriotism--and a question of enlight­ ened self-interest, of national and indi­ vidual prosperity."--Journal. JtDMINiSTBATrVE IMBBOHJTY. ^China," says Henry Clews, "has never furnished in all its history any case more remarkable in this method of self-des­ truction than have the democrats since they went into control of the govern­ ment at Washington. The talk of an object lesson and predictions of hard times first started the disasters which hare since befallen the nation; the draw­ ing out of money from the banks and hoarding to the extent of 1500,000,000 at least were the direct outcome of that •care. This was followed by the lack of adopting a policy to provide for the de­ pleted treasury gold reserve. "Then came a semi-official statement Inim the treasury department throwing donbt on the character of coin which the Sherman treasury notes were to be redeemed in, which materially intensified the scare and made it spread everywhere inetading Europe. Right on top of the shattered state into which business affairs were thus precipitated came the dilatory action on the repeal of the Sherman silver law, for which purpose the extraordinary congress was con- Wfifid. After this followed the formula­ tion of the Wilson tariff measure, which was inopportunely thrust upon the country. This seemed to be the last tiling necessary, and acted like a dyna­ mite bomb among the manufacturers, their employes and their business connec­ tions in all localities. "But now comes, to cap the climax, the decision of the Ways and Means Committee to saddle certain sections of tile country with an income tax, the most odious and diabolical mode of class taxation that can be conceived of. The demoralization has finally become so general as to place everybody in the position of wondering what next is likely ^ to be conceived to intensify the distress " of the American people as emanating from our fresh and new bora statesmen. Such a botch as has been made in hand­ ling affairs at headquarters, in the fehort •pace of ten months I doubt has ever foeen previously put on record by this nation by any party holding the reins of government. "Certainly never before in this country did a great political party assume con­ trol of the government with such appor- tonities for arranging a retention of • supremacy for an indefinite period idld the democratic party when they uuutrui uhrCugu tud Gvwr- vote cast at the election four- _ jo, and never before were i a&rantageB eo wretchedly handled Secretary Carlisle Wants to Borrow. Secretary Carlisle has gone to the Sen­ ate finance committee to ask authority to issne bonds. His success is not assured as Republicans and many Democrats are not disposed to become responsible for borrowing money in a time of profound peace. The fact is, the agitation of the Wilson bill has been ruinous to the fed­ eral treasury as well as to the people at large. Revenues from cus corns have fall­ en away from two causes. Foreigners who have goodB to sell are waiting for the lower duties promised by the Wilson bill, and are withholding shipments;" Then the severe stringency, caused by the Sherman-law object-lesson and the tariff agitation, has reduced the demand for merchandise to such an extent that importers are unwilling to takethe risks. They know that the Wilson bill was made for them and will wait for it. The revenues of the government from internal taxes havealso fallen away. So Secretary Carlisle wants to borrow money to bridge over the panic created by the administration. If the Wilson bill passes, he is not likely to stop bor­ rowing very soon, as that measure cuts down the revenues enormously. Game Protective Association. The National Game Protective Asso­ ciation, whose headquarters, are in Chi­ cago, proposes to make it warm for vio­ lators of the state laws. Believing that the best example should be set at home, the society is preparing for an aggressive warfare on the pot and market hunters and fishermen of Illinois. The Chicago Herald says that Saturday afternoon the officers of the society met with a large number of local sportsmen, owners of summer homes at Fox Lake and resi­ dents of that vicinity, in the clubroom of the Sherman House. President M. R. Bortree and Attorney F. S. Baird repre­ sented the national association. Capt. Loop ford, state fldh and game warden, was present at the conference. A com­ mittee from Fox Lake reported that on Monday of last week half a ton of fish had been traced to a South Water street house and on Wednesday another con­ signment was traced to *the same desti­ nation. They reported a large body of men engaged in fishing at the lake in vio­ lation of the law. The gentlemen report­ ed that the residents of the neighborhood would not prosecute the fishermen for fear that revenge would be taken in burning their property, the usual retal­ iation of the men who indulged in this unlawful work. Capt. Langford express­ ed his desire to punish the depredators, and the gentlemen present determined to support him in the execution of his duties. A fund of several hundred dol­ lars was raised and a committee of three appointed to push the securing of the evidence and furnishing attorneys to press the prosecution. President Bor­ tree is arranging for a conference at Milwaukee with sportsmen of Wisconsin to devise a similar plan of active cam­ paign against the violators of the game laws in that state.--Waukegan Patriot.

Smith and McDowell stood talk* ing by the wagon, at the edge of the sidewalk, when Smith suddenly com* ?? ?ee!!r" 5*?. ™r v:r.\: * to tiic brc"nt io* a moment to have difficulty in breathing. Then, saying he was better, but that he ought to go home at once, he asked Mc­ Dowell to jump in the wagon and ride with him. Smith's house was at 4,388 Atlantic street. Smith got in with his usual agility, and McDowell followed. Swinging hi* horses' heads around as he picked up the lines and heading them south, Smith chirruped and the wagon rattled off at a lively pace. The bakery wagon seat has a bread box behind it, against which the driver's head can lean in a practically upright position. Smith got sick again as the team started and was disinclined to talk. Near Thirty- fourth street he pulled his hat s little over his eyes, and getting the horses well started again he relapsed into eilence. Not wishing to disturb his friend Mc­ Dowell looked about as the wagon rat­ tled on south at a rapid pace. The horses were headed homeward, and Mc­ Dowell thought it was their reckless­ ness which caused the wagon to sway two or three times and now and then pass uncomfortably close to another ve­ hicle's wheels. Smith held the reins taut. He did not speak, but sat stiffly with his head hard against the bread box. . From tinder his lowered hat hia eyes stared directly ahead. Dusk slight­ ly veiled his features, and though Mc­ Dowell thought several times that Smith •was entirely too oblivious to danger he did not speak to him until they reached Thirty-ninth street and Eivertonave* nue. Then he asked Smith how he felt. There was no reply. McDowell shook Smith's arm. Still the man did not move. McDowell, Btill grasping the arm, bent close to Smith's face and gazed into the fixed eyes, but they did not move. With a start he realized that he had been driven five|rtj^lm by # corpse.--Chicago Herald, f One word describes it-"perTeetion.H We refer to De Witts Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin die- Hearing th« Huie la the Illation, He Abandoned • Murderous Errand. The Florence mission is jnst now in the possession of an interesting and promising convert who will likely trou­ ble the minds of these philanthropists who make the reclamation of criminals their especial hobby. It was just after 9 o'clock on Friday night, and the large meeting room of the mission house was filled with a crowd of worshipers, when the door slowly opened, and there entered a heavily built, slouching individual whose square jaw and lowering forehead somehow suggested a sandbag. The organ was playing "Where Is My Boy Tonight?" and as the stranger, aftet a moment's pause, walked up the cental aisle to the platform all eyes were turned toward him. He looked steadily for a moment at Mr. Hyatt, the exhorter, whe had charge of the service, and then wheeled around and silently contem­ plated the audience. The chorus of voices had died away to a quiver, and there was an unbroken silence as the man's hand groped toward his hip pocket. Then in a casual way he drew out a big, self acting revolver. The audience needed no second bid­ ding to run out into the street, but in a minute they had returned, reassured by the voice of the stranger. Then they saw that the man had placed the re­ volver on the desk in front of George Paine, an ex-actor. Cries of "Crank! He's a crankP sounded through the rooms. But the man standing on the platform, raising his hand for silence, said: "Do not be frightened. My name is Robinson. 1 have been saved from crime tonight. * Then he proceeded to inform the audi­ ence how out west he had been known aa "Strong Armed Red," how his real name was Abraham Robinson and how he had just been discharged from Joliet prison, Ills., after serving a five years' term for burglary. He had intended, he said, tc get money that night, even if he had to commit murder to accomplish his par- pose, and was on his way to Broadway to do a little stroke of business when he entered the Florence mission and waa saved.

One of the most complete electric light installations in existence has been decided on for a colliery in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The plant is divided into three parts. In the first the dynamo will run 300 lamps in the colliery itself, to be distributed both throughout the pit and above ground. Another installation is devoted to the lighting of 84 workmen's cottages, which are about 700 yards from the colliery, there being three lights in each cottage, or a total of 102 lamps in all. The third installation consists of a complete electric pumping plant capable of delivering 100 gallons of water per minute from the adjacent river to the colliery. Schoolboy " Cigarette Fiends." A determined effort is being made by school principals and the press to stamp out the cigarette habit in the public schools. The vice has obtained a firmer grip here on boys from 8 to 14 years old than in any other eity in the country, and the results are seen in the remark­ able increase of criminals of tender years and of deaths from what the doc­ tors call the "cigarette heart."--New York Tribune. mai 3m mitted everywhere The work of beautifying thap^t *IU progress steadily.

The discussion of the question of American mail routes, which is peren­ nially revived in the English newspa­ pers, has at last taken a common sense turn. The British postal authorities are being roundly denounced because they refuse to send the mails in fast steam­ ers unless they carry the British flag. Twice last month the Saturday mails were sent on a slow Cunarder, when they might have reached New York two-^ays earlier if dispatched by the American line. The fast German boats leaving Southampton on Sunday and Thursday get no mail, except specially addressed correspondence. The British authorities persist in limiting the mails to America to two per week, although four weekly mails are sent from. New York.
