rapidly as to increase the cost of publish
ing newspapers very greatly. Some OF
them have endeavored to pass the en-
HANGED rate of paper on to their customers,
by raising their rates OF subscription and
advertising, but the papers having the
largest circulation have found this imprac-
ticable, and the Chicago Times, having
raised its rate, has had to reduce it again.
Under these circumstances it has been con-
Guided that the only remedy lay in putting
paper on the free list, and hence the gen.
eral demand for the passage of Forts bill.
Some of the New York papers oppose the
bill, and they are accused OF desire to re-
gain their lost Western circulation at the
expense of the native Western press. We
are glad to find so large proportion of the
American press advocating free trade in
this energetic and outspoken manner, and
will only remark that their zeal in the
cause, now that their own withers are
wrung, is unequaled save by their apathetic
tolerance of Protection so long as its prin-
pal burdens were sustained by their neigh
boris Thus one touch of nature makes

RAIL AND STEEL RAILS.

4 dispatch yesterday stated that memo
rails had been sent to Congress by num-
Der of railroad officials protesting against
the reduction of the duty on steel rails.
The names of these officials should have
been given. and the names of the lines
they represented, that the people might
know to whom they were indebted for
this amazing attempt to maintain an i'm
post which is borne, not by the railroads,
but by the shippers and passengers. No
doubt If railroad directors care nothing
about popularity, they might almost as well
support as oppose the duty, for they are
not called upon to pay it, and it might in
one sense be said to be none of their bust
ness. Enlightened men, however, perceive
that a tax which falls so heavily upon the
public must react upon business generally,
and therefore all intelligent railroad Off
Gals must be on the side of the protestants
against the tariff Their interest in the
matter is, however, too indirect to afford a
basis for legislative action. If Congress
wishes to know how the duty on steel rails
is regarded by those who have to pay it,
reference must be had to the people. 1t is
upon them that the burden falls, and it is in
their interest that the reduction is de-
manded.

THE INSURANCE BILLS.

1t is to be hoped that the Senate viii
not pass either of the insurance bills now
before it. Senate Bill No. lSS has been
altered considerably in committee, but
even now it contains many Objectionable
features. The provision that capital of
$500, coo should be required of every COM
pany doing business in the State has been
altered, and 100000 has been substi-
tuted. There is no objection to this, but
the provision requiring deposit of $780,
600 by all foreign and Eastern companies
is a bad one, and We do not understand
that this has been eliminated from the bill.
The Legislature should remember that the
public interests mperatively demand free
trade in insurance, and that every stipnla-
ton tending to produce monopoly in
favor of home companies must diminish
the security of insurers, and therefore i'm
pair the efficiency of insurance throughout
the State. All such measures, moreover,
are in the line of protection, and involve
increased.cost to the consumer. No body
representing the people can be justified in
subordinating their interests to those of a
few individuals, vet that is what is asked
bv the advocates of these bills.

THE LAST ATTEMPT ON THE GEAR.

The last attempt on the Cars life is the
boldest of them all, but like most of these
Nihilist plots, it indicates much more au-
dacity than circumspection. Apparently
the purpose of the conspirators was to
blow up the whole Imperial family as they
were seated at dinner-a sufficiently COM
prehensive and ferocious scheme. But so
badly were the arrangements made that
an accidental detention of the royal party
saved them, the explosion taking place un-
der the dining room when it was empty,
and only number of soldiers of the guard
being killed and wounded. So the Gar has
escaped again, but he must realize by this
time that it is impossible to put him
self beyond the reach of his enemies.
1t is but few weeks since a
number of the servants in the
Winter Palace were discovered to be Mill
lists, and it would now seem that the at
tempt to weed them out had after all only
partially succeeded. The struggle which
is going ON between autocracy and revolu-
ton is too unequal. 1t is one man against
an army. Sooner or later it is almost GER
tain that the many will prove too strong
for the one, and even if they fail to kill
him they have already made life curse
to him. But he will not yield, he will
not make concessions, and so the dreadful
duel in the dark goes on, and the worst
crimes of medieval barbarism are repeated
on both sides.

In town or school meetings, when he has

his custom to keep silent till he saw
what the bias of the meeting was relative
to any question under consideration then
he would take up arms with the minority
and fight and wrangle against the popular
conclusion. He has made more fuss and
trouble in town and society matters than
any other man.
