The Republicans having stolen a
President succcssiuIlypropose TO steal
a Governor. The people at the late
election in Connecticut, elected n
Democratic Governor. Some Of the
tickets, 1t appears, were printed on
white paper from eletrstypes heavily
linked leaving the names of candidates
in white. These have been decided by
a Judge to be illegal and il thrown out

There is no evidence that any fraud
was cuml1itted in the election and the

An English paper of late date says:
VERY far west, indeed, in lovely
country which once beionged to Eng
land, but which was ceded to the
United States in 1916, there grows the
nnest body of timber in the world.
Flr and pine, and oak and cedar, of
Unsurpassed quality, and practically
unlimited III quantity, clOthe the
mountains, overhang the rivers, and
shadow the plains of the Puget Sound
district, III Washington Territory.
On Il moderate estimate it is calculated
that this region will yield the euor-
nlods ana unlmaSlnaUle quantity of
l60, 1000, 900, 600 feet of valuable timber.
lHe trees attain u remarkable devel-
opment, both of hight and beauty.
lhe yellow fir is frequently found
growing To a hight OF 80 feet; the
white cedar To 100 feet, with II girth of
over bU feet, and white oak to 40 feet,
whilst ordinary sized specimens OF
pine yield from 5000 to 5000 feet of
lumber each. For long after its dis
coVefy tins marvellous store of timber
remained undlsturOed, its prlmeVaI
quletness unbrokeu 10y the sound OF
Inc WOodman's axe; but in lS5l u saw
NM was built on Puget Sound, and
thehcelorth continually increasing in-
roads were made upon the forest, until
to-day not less than fifteen such uIlls
are at work upon 1t. The largest of
these has Il cutting capacity OF two
hundred thousand feet per day. Dur
ing the year 1851 the export OF lumb
from Puget Sound amounted TO l74,-
lI6, 100 feet, valued at nearly S2,0UU,-
900, aud ii Is calculated that since the
establishment of the first saw-mIll
about 2,5U0, 900, 900 feet have been cut.
Yet, III spite OF this tax upon them,
We are told that the forests remain,
for the most part, in virgin condition,
except for u short distance from the
banks OF the streams and estuarles.
IL Is, of course, too late for regret, but
one cannot help rejecting that the
loss of this magnificent region was in
deed a serious one for the British En-
pire."

LABOR VS.. PROTECTION.

From the Nation.
The Albany Evening journal, in til g
course of an article comparing wages
In this country with those in England,
and showing that there is not nearly
so much difference as IS commonly
supposed, although money goes much
further there than here, and that pro-
lection has really nothing to do. with
the amount paid, makes this striking
observation:
"Brichlayers aud carpenters get bet
ter pay than weaver aud miners. We
all know that. Yet the former are not
mentioned in any tariff scheme, and the
others r alleged to get all the bene-
fits of the protection. VIZ pay our
printers higher wages than a like
number of operatives in the Harmony
Mills of Cohoes ever got. Yet type.
setting is not under the shadow of
projections Chinese wall, and spin
ming is."
The Evening Journal, by the way, is
one of many OF our republican contem-
poraries whose views on the tariffhave
undergone a marked change of late.
The fact is that the day has passed
when blind adherence to protective
notions could be insisted upon as a test
of party orthodoxy, Attention is
sometimes directed to the fact that
many democratic leaders and newspa-
pers seem to have fallen away from
the old economic doctrine which used
to be fundamental to the democratic
faith. This might be more discourage
ing but for the other fact that there
has been a marked advance among
republicans in a liberal direction. The
truth is, that opinion in favor of reve-
nue. reform is not controlled by parti-
san lines, but is gaining strength
among all intelligent citizens, no mat
ter what their party proclivitles may
have been heretofore. We congratu-
late our Albany contemporary upon
the emancipation from the protective
tyranny which has followed so soon
after it8 declaration of Independence of
bosses aud machines. The results Of
larger freedom are seen in the energy
and earnestness of conviction with
which it discusses the foremost ques-
tions of the time, and which cannot fail
to commend 1t to the growing number
of thinking and Independent republi-
cans.

THE PRoTEoT1oNIsT,s TRIUMPH.

The people who are in favor Of free
trade and those who are in favor of u
reduction in the tariff might as we'll
lay aside their preference Tor the pres.
emit and consent to an indefinite
continuance of tho present tariff
or something materially like it.
Congress 10 not yet through with
the report Of the tariff commits
sien, but it has gone far enough to
show that the tree trade or revenue
tariff idea has no chance in com.
petition with the vested interests of
protection.
The campaign is an unequal one the
opposing forces being arrayed against
each other IN very much the same way
~ In the case of the river and, harbor
bill. There the separate appropria-
tons were, like the bundle OF fagots
IN the fable, weak individually, bat
firmly united by q bond of seIiinter-
est which made it impossible to break
them.
AZ 500 as the revision of the tariff
touches any protected interest, which it
does at every step of it's progress, the
statesman whose constituents are in
terested in that item appears at once
as q defender Of protection. He thus
becomes committed at once to the sup
port of other protective interests aud
other, statesmen are very glad to
oome to his relief on terms Of strict
mutually.
Thus the whole scheme of tariff re-.
form promises to break down, and the
now rapidly approaching close Of the

cupied at the opening OF the ses-
