The New York Tribune saws:

"All we ask Of Republican Free>Trad-
ers is equal rights. If their economic
views are dear to them, ours are SO to US.
If they desire respect for their convictions,
we insist on equal respect for ours.''
We were on the point of observing that
We do not respect the economic views of
the New York Tribune, and do not care
whether it respects ours or not, when our
eyes fel! upon the following utterance in
the same article from which we have
quoted:
ut is our profound conviction that an
impost of one hundred dollars per tom on
pig iron, with like duties on everything
else made of iron. would prove an i'm
mense blessing to our country" etc.
This impels as to add that we have the
most serious contempt for the economic
views of the New York Tribune, and that
we altogether spurn the basis of its pro-
posed compromise CHICAGO Tribune.

The Press has favor;te crochet that
the low price Of wheat is owing to the
superabundance Of last years crop, and it
copies frequently items to show that the
quantity exported last year is greatly in
excess of any previous year; from which
it holds that low prices are particularly
favorable to expectation. The official fig
ures, just published, unfortunately ever
throws his theory. Last years exports
were only three-fourths as large as the
previous year, as proved by the custom

Funding Bill.
We clip from the Chicago Tribune, Of
May 4th, the leading paragraph of its
leader. 1t is "Gar6eld's Funding BILL"
Comment on our part is unnecessary. The
Tribune Of Chisago is becoming so sensi-
BILE on the financial questions Of the day
that it requires no farther instruction from
democratic sources. Had the same course
characterized it prior to the last presiden.
tial contest tax-ridden country would
have been blessed with more commercial
daylight than is now perceivable. If
times are extremely dull and Labor goes
begging, what is the cause, what party
originated it, what party sustains it and
what class Of people are benefited by the
death of business effort? Messrs. People,
we can think and act for our own relief
or contrive to suffer for the profit of our
present financial masters. Will you
think?
The "Bill to increase banking facilities
reported BY Mr.. Garfield, from the Conn
mittee on Banking and Currency, prepos-
e. some good and some evil, and, like any
bill proposing either good or evil, will not
be likely to be effectively acted upon by
the present Congress. Progress in the
management of financial questions can
only be expected where some one efficient
financial leader is at the head of the
Treasury, or of the Committee of the
Ways and Means of the House, or Finance
in the Senate, in whom Congress has con-
fdence, and whose recommendations are
not such a. TO forfeit confidence. So long
as our Secretary Of the Treasury is On.
gagged in warning against the credit of the
government by trying to force its credi-
tors to take lower rate Of interest than
was promised to them, we can look for no
leadership in that quarter. And, 80 long
% the votes Of Congress are divided be.
tween four or Eve leaders and policies, the
least mischievous thing We can do is, per-
haps, to do nothing, though there are
some things that greatly need doing.

Mrs. Solomon Haley, Of Springfield,
Ohio, is dangerously i'll with the hydro
phobia. Her husband died of the same
disease on the 23d ultimo, from the effects
Of bite received five years ago. 1t is
supposed that the wife, in her constant at.
tendance upon her husband, received
some of the virus into her veins in hand
ling the bed-clothes. ~
We publish the above to object to it.
Persons who have been bitten by mad
dog are uneasy about what may follow.
Eight years ago little black. and. tan,
owned by Major Fallowdown, "Billy"
then of the Evans House, now of Capt.
Bob Freeman's Elkader lumber yard, bit
me tride, in play. l thought nothing Of
it, but seeing, a day or two after, notices Of
dogs going mad, in exchanges, began to
feel blue, and for nine days and nights
very little sleep came. No one on earth
knew my trouble; at the end Of one Sun
day, midnight, the time of danger was
over, the mine days having passed away.
Sleep came to nae in most comfortable
quantities. During my apprehensive
period it seemed to me that the newspa
pers had little else than mad-dog reports.
Again: Some years after that I was
bitten by small dog which was special
pet. The bite was severe, and it disabled
my right hand several weeks it did not
alarm me however, but the fact excited
remark, and some acquaintances gave me
such consolation as this: ~ wouldn't be
in your fix for five hundred dollars mo
money would compensate me for dog
bite y GIVE heard of hydrophobia coming
years after the bite" &c., &c. I didn't
scare this time, but thought my CONSIDERS
were much like the three wise men who
called on Job. Had my nervous make
been less strong their remarks would poss>
IDLY have made me mad. Hydrophobia orig
mates in mental and physical arrangement
in animals of the lower order; why not
in those of the human order? 1t is
thoughtless unkindness to brighten one
by predictions Of what may happen or
details of what has happened to persons
who are so unfortunate as to have come
in contact with dog. Newspapers should
seldom mention the canine race except to
advise q heavy license for their keeping or
their entire extirpation. Great, big,
black, yellow, white and blue dogs throng
our streets, lazy and useless; small
infest the Offices of law
yers, doctors, ministers and editors, not
one of which is worth the powder to kill
him-the dogs we mean. In an unsettled
country where bears and wolves are com
mon, the dog is useful; but in city or
village of ordinary civiliza alton. we see no
demand for mad dogs, cross dogs or dogs
Of any kind. "Dog on it," this article is
growing too long we stop.

Mcfarland. ..RichardSOn.

This exciting trial terminated May
10th. The jury was absent two hours
and reported "Not Guilty" The court
room became scene of rejoicing beyond
description. There was a universal
desire by men and women to take the
prisoners hand in congratulation.
Cheers almost of riotous order took
place. Mcfarland was very pale when
the jury came in. After receiving so
prompt and quickly rendered verdict
from the jury and SO impulseive and
friendly one from the large audience,
nIac iUOAod tote1I, and with MS little
son Percy accompanied by his counsel,
Mr.. Graham, left the court room. In
our opinion the verdict is just one.
1t is severely reflective on Greeley,
Beecher 4 Co., but it is none the less
just. Mrs. Mcfarland Richardson is
out in a long article charging Mac with
most of the sins belonging to matrimon-
ial life; the article looks as if 'sgot mp
to order" Evidence of such facts might
have been plead in extenuation of her
error and in excuse for Richardson
sympathy. They did not get into court.
The Chicago Journal of the 11th., says !:
The Mcfarland trial terminated yes
terday afternoon, the jury returning a
verdict of mot guilty" If Mcfarland
was ''not guilty" of killing Richardson,
then no man has ever been guilty of
killing another man since the creation
of the world At the same time it must
be acknowledged that when man de-
liberately interferes with the domestic
affairs Of another, alternating the affec-
tions of his wife and destroying his
home, he ought to be prepared to get
what Richardson got. 1t is question
whether murderer is, in fact and NOR
ally, guilty ola greater crime against
society than is seducer.
