1t appears that there is in Eng
land something of a reaction against
free trade. Many papers, it is stat
ed in cable message to the Times,
openly advocate a return to proeec-
ton, and the prediction is made that
the government will, sooner or later,
find it necessary to heed the demand.
The leading English journals, how
ever, including the most influential,
financial and commercial papers, do
not manifest any uneasiness, or adj
NIT that return to protection is
possible. Says The Economist:
That, after having experienced the
benefits of free trade, we would ever
consent to follow this retrograde
course is not to be imagined for a
moment, and none know this better
than some of those who are indulg-
ing foolish vaporing about retalia-
ton. 1t would be well, therefore,
if they were more guarded III their
speech. Nothing can be more mis-
chievious than talk which is calcula-
ted to convey the erroneous impress
sion that we are repenting of our
trade policy, and which thus
tends to confirm protectionists in
their folly" In these views the
leading papers of England fully con-
cur.-Times.

The Chicago Tribune has had a
lot of hand cars built to run out on
the railroads with papers, to the
towns within twenty-five miles of
Chicago. We expect to hear, before
next week, that Mr., Storey, of the
Times, has bought a lot Of locomo-
tives, with powerful cow-catchers to
bump Mr.. Medill's hand cars off the
track This trouble all comes from
revising the New Testament.
The Madison State Journal SAYS,
The present national administra-
ton is showing evidence Of deter
mination to thoroughly reform the
post office department The infer
ence we draw from this is that the
post office department needs thor
ough reform; but we cannot believe
that any such a state of affairs ex-
lists. If such is the case, however,
it is singular the Journal did not
speak about it during the campaign.
An oversight, doubtless.
Two prominent saints Of the Nor
mon church were interviewed BY a
New York reporter the other day,
and when asked if he had no fears
that the federal government would
interfere with their peculiar institu-
ton they smiled complacently and
said they had none. This is regard
ed rs somewhat singular in view of
the fact that Garfield said that po-
lygamy must and shall be stamped
out. 1t is believed that his remarks
had reference TO polygamy III the
states and territories outside of Utah.

the last Christmas vacation one OF
his schoolma ms concluded to get

days notice, 50 he had to fly around
like a pea on a hot griddle to get a
schoolma am to fill her place. He
was on the war path night and day
as mad as a cornet, and finally he
got one, and the school went on as
usual. But he didn't purpose to be
caught again, SO the other day he
sent a peremptory order to the female
teachers to meet him at the school
room after school hours. They didnt
know what was the trouble. but
piously and meekly presented them
selves. He told them that if any o
them thought of getting married
during the coming year, he wanted
them to confess now, so he eoul6
look up some one to take theil

so he told them that they had fail
warning, now, and that if any o
them got married that he would no
let them give up their school. On,
