Their Little Game.

Tho tariff for revenue only advocates arc
beginning to find their cause much weaker in
the southern states than they had been lead
to believe. 1t is truo that the Louisville
Courier.Journdl gives daily homily on the
beauties and benefits of free trade, but tho
| Nashville american and other leading south
crn journals do not take kindly to Brother
Watterson's dogma, and some of them servo
notice on him that the introduction of free
trade or tariff for revenue only" plank in
the democratic platform is sure forerunnor
of defeat for the party. Nous Uerrons.
In this connection it Is fact worthy Of
note that Hon. j. w. Hays who was men,
Der of the committee on resolutions at tho
late democratic state convention of Ken
tucly, on being asked the meaning of tho
expression in the platform, tariff for reve-
nue. only" replied; "Why, sir, it reminds mo
of an expression in one of Jackson's letters
in which he declared himself for ,udicious
tariff These expressions are made TO mean
anything by politicians. In my opinion
what we want is to lay a tariff that will afford
the means of defraying the necessary ex-
penses of the government, and the incidental
protection brought about should be on those
industries most needing it,"
This no doubt is tho true inwardness OF
the Kentucky platform. Henry Watterson
with his little net will catch all of the FREQ
trade fellows, and Hon. Hays and all of his
ilk will set their traps for Brother Colyar, of
the Nashville american, and all of the other
old wings now acting with tho democratic
party, aud you SEQ "we will gobblo all of 'cm

suspect the conversation would appear in

Hendricks, therefore, falls back upon the last

FaIIaclcs i'm Regard TO Rates.


Under this head tho Insurance Monitor has
forciblo editorial on the folly of under
writer's who fondly imagine that they can
make up for lower rates by increasing the
volume of business. This topic was quite
plainly treated in our columns in July of last
year, and we gladly welcome the cooperation
of the Monitor in the effort to root out costly
as well as foolish fallacy. The Monitor says
The assumption that increase of business at
cut rates will make up by quantity what is
lost in quality may be illustrated with en-
phasis by an actual case. The companies
wrote in tho state of Minnesota, last year,
$l47,7Sl AL risks, at average rate of l.32
producing premiums of $l,051,1 of this
they lost by fire 81, l75 822, and their expenses
were say, 80 per cent. of the premiums. On
this basis tho total profit for handling nearly
one hundred and fifty millions of business
was the pittanco of S92,436. The rate, please
observe, was l32.
A break down of seven cents on 1.32 is not n
very severe cut as things go, and If wo reduce
this 1,32 to 1,25, and push for "volume of
business" how much volume must we
secure in order to net $92, ,d36 ut the end of tho
year, as before? 1t does not look like very
serious matter to overcome contemplate
seven cents reduction of rate, and yet if we
figure the thing through we find that we must
business, or nearly as much as four such states
as Minnesota can furnish, in order to make up
for tho loss Of that sevon cents
Tho howling idiot who has been shouting
for volume of business in order to make q
nmble sixpenco do tho duty of his slow shil-
ling, does not comprehend where his fatal
crroo lies. We will tell him-he has not got
the shilling; no only has eightpence, and
when he takes seven from that, ho has next
to nothing left. The rates are SO exceedingly
low that even very small depression robs
them of profit and where SO narrow margin
is left the amount of business done must be
trpled or quadruplcd land that is practically
| impossible) in order to realize the slender
gains indicated by tho Minnesota example
which we quote above.
Why will men not realize that tho entire
concession in the rate comes of the profit part
of the premium? The losses, as we remarked
in tho outset, on given line Of risks will be
the same, whether the company gets much or
little for writing them the expenses remain
essentially the same these two factors are
| practically out of the control of the company,
and only the profit margin remains. If this
is wide it may be safely narrowed; but If it is
already thin, it is the most self-evident folly
to attempt to enlarge it by still further alton

exercises on tho horizontal and par
allel bars, high kicking, vaulting,

with this part of the programme, and COM
plimented the cadets, some of whom dis
tinguished themselves as athletes On the
horizontal bars, Dashiell, Carter, Rust, Jacobs,
and McNulta showed much practice and great
proficiency; McNulty Rust, and Dushiell led
in rings; Rust, Jacobs, Dashiell, and Nc

Indian News.

Indian Agent Wilcox has telographed from

dian affairs an account Of the recent surren-
dor to the military Of the Indians belonging
to Loco's band He says that they were cut
Off from the main body of the band by Moxi-
can troops. They heard that the country was
full of soldiers, and fled to San Carlos for
refuge. He declined to receive them, and
they are now being fed by the military.
Agent Wilcox also says the prisoners should
be taken from tho reservation and punished
They came here from necessity, and will
breed discOrd aud encourage absentees TO ro-
turn that they may iatten and grow
strong for another raid To prevent murder
Of whites in tho future, and assure the peo-
pie that the reservation is not to be made
safe retreat for murderers, prompt action
should be taken with all that have returned,
including two bucks surrendered on May 2,
and provision made for others who are almost
sure to follow as soon as they are routed fro'u

An indian Confercnce.

White Wolf, Big Bow, and Sun Boy, repre-
senting the Kiowa aud Comancho tribes Of
Indian territory, accompanied by their in
terpreter, Thomas T. Woodward, had q con-
ference with the secretary of the interior
yesterday respecting the boundaries of their
reservation. The Indians contended that in
1867, when they signed the treaty with the
government they were given to understand
that all the land lying west of the Wachita
and Red rivers belonged eXclusively to them
but now the land is held by the state OF
Texas, and is known as Gricr county. The
secretary read the treaty, which the Indians
signed and pointed out on the map the loca-
ton of the boundaries as fixed thereby. He
also told the Indians that he was governed
by the law and could not make any altera-
tions in the boundary lines. The delegation
will call again tomorrow, when the secretary
will present to them q specially prepared
map, showing the exact location of the
boundary lines of their reservation.

rho ohio Republican,. In Convention.

Tho Ohio Republicans In Convention.
The republican state convention in Ohio
was not gathering of men who expect de-
feat, but q grand representative body of men
authorized to speak for overy section and
every element of the party, and to give as
surance of the unity of purpose which
presagcs victory. They placed in the chair
the man whose name is interviewer
with tho history of the republican party
from the date of its organization-John
Sherman-and would have nominated
him unanimously if he had not told
them firmly ho could not accept it without
feelings of personal dishonor. His was owl
IDENTIFY the guiding mind in the formation Of
the platform, which he epitomized in his
speech when he said the republican party
believed in protection of American labor and
in the taxation of tho liquor traffic. The
nomination of j. b. Foraker for governor by
acclamation was in obedience to the well as.
certained opinion of tho masses of the
party, in the event that Mr.. Sherman would
not accept. The senator was wise, and loyal to
his duty TO tho republicans of Ohio and OF
the nation when ho declined to leave his
scat in the senate. Tho enthusiasm which
tho republicans of all inclinings in Ohio have
shown on this most important occasion is
notice to tho country that they intend to
win. We believe they will.

A Suggestion.

The negroes of South Carolina seem to bo
the source of great trouble to the white bour-
bons of that state. They are said to be clogs
on the wheels of civilization and progress, and
are generally denounced as lazy and worth
less Suppose all of them, by preconcerted
agreement, should leave tho state and settle
somewhere else? Would civilization be put
forward and progress increase? Would
tho cotton and tho rice fields shoot
up their usual products spontaneously, and
would the bourbons cultivate and gather the
crops.
A gentleman making q tour of that state
with the purpose of ascertaining the true
condition of affairs, relates that at every
depot and railway station he found number
of white men, the greater part of them carry
ing shotguns and accompanied by dogs, sit
ting idly around.
On inquiry as to the general condition of
the country, he was invariably told that
things were in q bad way"
While all acknowledged that the soil was
fertile, and the climate delightful, they in.
sisted that there was no growth, progress, OF
prosperity. On being pressed for a reason
for this seeming paradoxiCal state of affairs
he was told that the id niggers won't
work"
While the negro raco has its average
amount of lazy and trining people, it strucl
South Carolina grumblers to ask why the
id white folks did not set tho example?

vorce case, Mr.. Fletcher, counsel for Maj.
Nickerson, addressed tho court, and stated
that ho had received no reply from his client
to telegram notifying him to be present
and as the cross-examination in his absence
would be incomplete, Mr. Fletcher said he
felt ii his duty to ask further time. "If,
allow me this time, feel constrained to say
that in my opinion the respondent in this
case has shown enough to set aside the di-
vorce If tho court is determined to dispose
of the matter to-day, l think that the decree
must be reversed" The court then announced
that the case would be submitted on the evi-
dence already taken, and counsel agreeing to
this the testimony was handed to the court
for consideration,
