If Colonel Johnson would withdraw from

THE Republican party is committed to the
principle of protection to American indus
try. 1t will not be driven from that position
by the free-trade assertions of the Democratic
party, in whose veins the old slave virus

'doctrinares" who evolve principles of gov

THE Cleveland Leader, in speaking of Gu
tiosities in the census reports concludes that
the greatest rarity in them is accuracy. And
yet the census was undertaken and carried
forward under the personal supervision of
the beau ideal of that school of gentlemen
who believe that theoretical scholarship and
Anical affectation of superlative knowledge
are better than common sense and practical
ability. The tenth census is the great monu-
ment to "the scholar in politics." and it is a
warning of the fact that educated egotism
may be sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.

No taxes that were removed by the last
Republican Congress will be of more di-
rect benefit to general business than the
ones affecting all people who have to do
with banks. Ninety-nine hundredths of the
commercial transactions of the country are
carried on through banks, and the removal
of unnecessary taxes was in the immediate
interests of business, for it was business
which had to bear the burden. There are
millions of people who do business with
banks and who draw checks in their daily
affairs, and those who talk about legislation
in the interests of monopolies, when refer
ring to the removal OF these petty and annoy
ing taxes upon banking transactions talk
with as little sense and great deal less prin-
ciple than Denis Kearney.

surdity of the assertion, while all conscienti-
Gus opponents of the tariff system concede
the fact, and base their opposition upon that
tendency as one of the great factors in con-
trolling their judgment and action. Read
the debates in Congress, from the beginning
of the government to the present time, and
see ii the accommodating States have
not persistently used this argument in
opposing the policy advocated by those
States which have developed their industrial
resources. Free trade was the bulwark of
slavery and of the plantation" system. It
is the enemy of individual independence
and small holdings. The merest glance at
England, the flower of free trade, is sufi-
cient proof of how it works upon the pros
perity of the general average of the people.

WE take occasion to remark that the Re-
publican party is as strongly in favor to-day
of the principle of protection to American
industry as at any other time in its history.
Those who are frightened by the vehement
assertions and refined billingsgate of few
men who mistake their own opinions for
great principles, and who regard all who
differ from them as necessarily fools or
knaves, will discover, sooner or later, that
the great body of the party can neither be
bulldozed nor ridiculed into an abandon
ment of fundamental principle one incor-
porated into every platform the party ever
promulgated. The vast majority of the peo-
pie have brains enough to discriminate be-
tween the principle and the possible faults of
a great body of customs laws that has de-
veloped under circumstances and conditions
which are so changed now that changes can
be safely and properly made.

WILL the City Council permit the legal
questions involved in the question of the
street-car monopoly to be fairly tried and
determined by the only authority that can
settle them satisfactorily? Why should the
Council prevent the people from having even
the opportunity to assert a claim to their
rights? If the Citizens Street Railway Com
pany discover that its supposed monopoly is
just what it has regarded its entire contract
for the last ten years-so much waste paper
then will Indianapolis have respectable street.

sort Of measure because it was impossible
TO obtain better law. The Republicans
in Congress acted wisely. They represented
the people, not the "monopolies' on the
one hand, nor the pale-faced professors of
what is called political economy" on the
other, both of whom worked in harmony
in the effort to prevent the beginning of re-
form in the tariff laws and reduction of the
burdens of internal taxation.

In review of the Lafayette Islander case

L. That Captain Wallace and Mrs. Cougar
were guilty of adultery at the Office of Wal
lace on the night of Nov. 10, 1882. 2. That if
the specific accusation is not true, Mrs. Gou-
gar was not damaged by handlers assertion
that it was true, because her general reputa-
ton was bad.
ION this second point the defense have
thrown their main strength. They made lit
tie attempt on rebuttal to destroy the force
of the alibi on the part of Mrs. Cougar and
Captain Wallace for the night of Nov. 10,
but made a most formidable effort to estab-
lish their second point. Mrs. gar's suit
was brought on the charge for Nov. 10. The
question of whether she is guilty or not
guilty of the specific offense charged has
been dwarfed by the attempt to show that
she was guilty OF other acts as bad. The in
quiry has extended to every act of her life
for twenty years. and if the defense have not
made case against her, it has not been be-
cause they were not allowed the largest lib
erty of action, and have not made every
effort, aided by money and hate, to do So"

Blood Stains!
BY DEACON sLAsHEI

BY DEACON SLASHER.
I've seen sight to-day, dear Marth, that sets my
blood aname,
A sight that brings to manhoods cheek the burning
blush of shame;
I've stood this Sabbath morn beside peaceful cot
tage door,
And looked, with startled eyes, to dark blood
stains on the floor.
I've stood within a humble cot, upon green hill
side,
And saw the sweetly- blooming trees, and meadows
green and wide,
But OH through all these priceless gems, from Ma
ture's bounteous store,
see still glare before my the blood marks on
the floor
An air of peace hangs oer the scene and happy fam
cies play.
In golden eddies round the this pleasant summer
day;
But OH how sad the horrid scene within its narrow
doori
There are signs of death on every side-there are
blood-stains on the floor.
Upon the hearth where yesterday romped little feet
at play,
parQnts life blood trckles down in purple stream
to-day;
1 see, where romped the infant feet, the bloody
fountain pour,
And loving fathers life out in blood on
the floor.
Oh blsckest picture life's page The human heart
must shrink,
To feel, when quiet homes we hover on deaths
brink;
That, even in happiest hours, we tread the
gloomy shore,
Where murderous hands may pour our lives In blood
stains on the floor.
Oh let us on this horrid hiding curtain draw,
And strive to make home-life safe within the
bounds oflaw;
And ever strive to place about each humble cottage
door,
guard against the hands that make these blood
marks on the floor
Wen pray, dear wife, to Him who holds the earth
within His hand,
To let His sweet, protecting love rest over all our
land
Yet there effective way safety to restore
few more broken necks will drive the blood-stains
from the floor.
