IfachfHS tEsc Cincinnati COnycn-
tsGD.

The New York Tribune, of Wednes-
day, calls attention to TIE announce
mont that Grant Office holders propose
to pack the Cincinnati Convention and
run it in his interest. and gives Inference
to the following:
The Federal oliice-holders have called
their convention to meet at Philadelphia
in June. No one proposes to disturb
or interfere with them. They have even
complained that the editor Of this jour
nal did not sign their call, insisting that
this would have been only a formal or
ministerial act; though, had he signed,
they would at once have argued that his
signature bound him to abide by the re-
suits Of that convention. We trust no
one will attend that gathering who has
not fully made mp his mind to let the
present incumbents have another four
years lease Of Office and power.
But the Cincinnati Concention is none
Of their Gfair. They did not call it,;
they are not iAgjted; their preseace is not
desired. Let them mind their o,cn basi
ness and ram their 0arR machine.
Yet it is plain, from the foregoing ex-
tract, that they had formed plot to
surprise and capture the Cincinnati Con-
rention, and are chagrined that the op-
portunity is not to be afforded them -
They mag do as they rM at PhHadel-
phia; but they cannot haze their rag at
Cincinnati.

Mr.. BoNNER-WiIl you please tell ne
what you think of ''clipping" horses :
Do you think it right to deprive them Of
the covering nature has given them? !
see many "clipped" horses here in Bos-
ton, and it seems to me that they must
suffer from the cold on account Of it.
told friend so a short time ago. He
said that they do not suffer as much as
those with long hair, because when they
sweat they can rub them down and wipe
them dry quicker; and they will get
warm sooner than those with long hair,
because it takes so much longer for
them to dry. He said he wondered if
Mr. Bonner had Dexter clipped | told
him 10, thought Mr. Bonner had more
humanity and common sense. Then
we agreed to ask you. C---S--.
No, Dexter has never been clipped,
for the reason that he has short, fine
coat; but if he had a long, heavy coat,
we should most certainly have him clip
ped.
It is an act Of humanity to clip hor-
ses with long, heavy coats. But it
would be cruel to clip horses with short,
fine coats. A great deal Of nonsense
has been published against the clipping
Of horses by selr-conSttuted philan-
thropists, who evidently do not know
anything about the snlject.-Ne,c York

Thc Tariff.
From the Marietta Registerl

(troIn the Marietta keSlS:ef)
'Mere exchange creates no wealth;
that is Free Trade Protection makes
wealth, and thus enrichcs individuals and
communities. One creates, ,enriches the
other scat,ers and wastes rather than en-
hances property"
The sub,who stumbles along as editor
OF the Register, besides being ignorant
is seriously damaging Senator STlMsoN's
prospects for the Radical nomination to
Congress in this District. Now let us
see how protection 'onriches" the salt
consumers:
a few days since vessel arrived at
New Y ork, from Trapani, with :: cargo
of salt. The salt cost sl,00S, gold
The freight was Sl,302, currency, and
the duty was $1,000. gold. The
Onondaga salt boiler is protected By
JreiyM 430 per cent I'd ralorem and By
legislation $50 per cent
This allows the salt boiler TO CHARGE
70O PER CENT ABOVE COST FOR
SALT Of The SAME GRADE as jmpor-
ted sat
That is the ex.ct manner in which
Protection "enriches individuals and
communities" 1t is the baldest robbie
ry, because The Proteetiouists run their
hands into The Peoples pockets in broad
daylight and draw forth their money aud
the legislation of a Radical Congress
sanctions the outrageous proceeding.
Here is another chapter upon the same
subject:
From the Cincinnati Commercial, Radical)
"The struggle in Congress over the
Chicago Relief Bill has damaged the
tariff doctrines before the people i'm
mensely. The fact that the duty on
Canada lumber, Which puts but one mil
lion and haF per gear into tie Treas
ury,pours fifteen millions into the pockets
Of the lumber monopolists illustrates The
iCh0te tdriU system. vi course tae lun-
Der interest owDs several Senators and
Representatives. Fifteen millions taken
from the MANY under the PRETENSE
of protecting them and giving to the
FEW, will buy good many votes,
"The tariff people are terrified by :the
Chicago free trade proposition, 1t is
tolerably plain that if free trade is the
medicine for city when it is burnt, it
would be good for un5urned cities. II
it is n restorative in case OF calamity, it
would be healthy under ordinary circum-
stances"
The italics and CAPS are ours. We
hope.th sub of the Register will con-
tinuo his items and articles upon the
tariff.

TIE NlRn L, The iron HIaa'k.

The Lberte assures "chroniclers, re-
porters, and Journalists that the true
secret of the man in the iron mask is
about to be revealed, though it has been
declared with much show Of prohabii-
ty that an ex Minister Of Louis XIV,
NJ de ChamaiIard, who lived to very
advanced age, was the last person capa-
ble Of clearing up the mystery, and he
died refusing to betray the confidence
reposed in BIN,
The unfathomable mystery (says the
LiLerte) which has eluded the grasp OF
so many historians and bookworms is
in the hands OF the Princes of Orleans.
The tale goes that when the Dastilc was
taken document fell into the hands of
Philippe Egalite, which showed that
Anne Of Austria, after twenty three
years Of marriage, gave birth to q
daughter, but Louis XII, had boy
substituted for his real child
The next year, as we know, the Qaeen
had a second son, afterwards known as
Philippe Dake, Of Orleans, the founder
of the present house. 1t is, therefore,
asserted that Louis XIV, and his de-
scendants are usurpers, and that the
Princes of Orleans are the legitimate
heirs to the crown Of France. In 1889
Philippe Egali:e had pamphlet prin-
ted and circulated in the provinces, in
which this mystery was divulged, but it
is doubtful whether any copies are now
in. existence

This is the record of State manage.
ment that the Radical party in Ohio has
to enter upon the campaign of this year,
The record is not an enviable one for
the party that has been claiming great
reductions, from year to year, of the
State debt.
Outside Of the damaging effect this
exposure must necessarily work to the
interests of Radical candidates this year,
toe matter Is OF very serious cnnsc-
quenco to the tax payers, for the reason
that there is large ioak some place
through which their money has passed.
Aud Judging from the past history vi
the Radical party, money squandered by
officials, the People arc forced to pay the
second time without having any guaran-
tee where It goes. They have become
weary of duplicate and triplicate pay
ments, and resolved to turn the manage
ment Of State affairs over to the control
of men possessed of honesty AMI clli-

No day passes without bringing to
light some new defalcation. As the
days of the Administration diminish,
the thieves who support Grant, and de-
nounce any form Of opposition, seem
to multiply. They are all of the loyal
stripe, and, what is quite remarkable,
whenever all otliceholder steals widows
pensions, or robs the till of the Treas
ury, the telegraph or the pensioned
press, is quick TO assure the public that
10 loss viii occar. At best it is only Il
slight irregularity, and the robbery is
usually estimated at about one tenth Of
the actual amount! Only Il few weeks
