The public have watched with curious
interest the reform" of the tariff insti-
tuted by the Committee of Ways and
Means. whose revision OF the Tariff Com
mission report has resulted in producing
decidedly the most disgraceful scheme
of duties on imports that the country
has yet seen. Their last effort has been
a pairing down of the free list. Take the
case of borax for an example of their
work This article is now admitted free
of duty. The Committee recommended
that it be taxed ten cents per pound.
Why? Because a deposit of borax has
been discovered on the Pacific Coast. So
it appears that consumers OF borax would
have been better off by ten cents per
pound if no discovery had ever been
made. So long as this deposit of borax
remained mercifully hidden from view
we were allowed to get our supplies at a
fair price-that is, at the cost of produc-
tion and ransportation-but as soon as
somebody finds borax within the limits
of this great republic, we must all con-
tribute our pennies to give him an in.
creased profit in his business. This is
not solitary instance of the application
of the principle which seeks to punish
the nation for its possession of great
natural resources-the copper tariff is
perhaps the most conspicuous case of the
kind-but it is the latest, the most ridicu-
lous, the most lamentable.-N. Y. Nation.

WHILE discussing these labor mat
ters, says o contemporary, it calls out
the thought that the farmers hired
man ought to be about the happiest
wage worker going. AS a rule he is
lust as good man as the boss himself
and sometimes little better. He Is
an honored guest at the family table,
has the best and strongest food, be-
cause the good lady says he works
hard; his clothes are washed and
mended; he goes to meeting on Sun
day with the family. dressed just as
good as any of them; his expenses are
light and he saves his money, marries
the farmers daughter, and soon be-
comes just as rich as his neighbors.
With MIN there are no shutting down
of the works, no strikes, no dozen sa-
looms between the field and dinner,
and there are no boiler explosions, no
ret-hot metals, no caving of mines, nc
gasses, and no cinders to fall on his
head; nothing to kill him but hooking
cows, kicking horses, and revolving
horse -rakes. He ought to be happy.

BLIND BOONE,

The ordinary methods Of criticism
cannot be applied to Blind Boone
Call it inspiration or demOniacal pos
session, or what you will, he is the sub
ject of some dominant power. 1t is
neither talent nor genius that gives
him that marvellous insight iDfO the
soul of music, the vivid an4delicate
appreciation ofall that is sweetest and
highest in the art. 1t Is 4 heaven-giv-
en- intuition. We had,the pleasure Of
hearing him privately, and were more
than ever impressed with the strange
freak of nature that has turned the
boys mind, soul and body into the one
channel of music, aud almost excluded
the rest Of the world. Stuntet1 In ev-
cry other direction he has more than
genius for music He seems to be inn
prisoned in u little world Of harmony
and rhythm, from which he could not
escape if he would. While not equal
to Blind Tom as a performer, we be-
lieve him to be equally as great and
wonderful in native Inspiration.

The Presbyterian social last Thurs
day night passed of pleasantly. Mrs.
Fulton's reading was very greatly adj
mired. It was the best Of the many
good things we have heard by the la
dy. About twenty dollars were realiz-
ed, with which a carpet will be pur-
chased for the pulpit platform Of the
Presbyterian church. The Misses My
ers will share the new room with her.
The Ladies' Literary Circle had an
other of their pleasant reunions We'd
nesday night-this time at the resi-
depce of DR.. J. w. Scott. The linen
folks' and few invited guests were
present. A very nice picnic sup
per was served, and pleasant even
ing spent. Miss Mary Hamer was
present and played beautifully. This
Office is reminded most pleasantly of
the occasion by a delicious cake from
the feast.
Among the jobs from the REGISTER
office this week, are one thousand
pamphlets On Nasal Catarrh for DR..
Boulson & Son. We may also mention
in this connection, that the Doctor re-
ceived this week an inquiry concern
ing his treatment from gentleman in
Missouri and one from a gentleman In
Illinois, both of whom said they had
seen his advertisement in the REGIS
TER. If you want your advertise
ment to he read outside Of town, put
it in the REGISTER.
The Varner-Evart assault case in
Judge Christy's court attracted a good
deal of attention this week. Knight 4
Fisher for the prosecution and Gordon
& Foust for the defendant made hard
fight. On Wednesday the jury brought
in verdict of guilty and the judge
fined defendant IS and costs, amount
ing to $3.50. On refusing to pay the
fine, Mr.. Warner was remanded to Jail.
His attorneys served out writ of
habeas corpus, which will come up be-
fore Judge Talcott to-day.
We had pleasant call this week
from Mr.. J. s. Kasbeer, of Bureau
county Ill.,, and his son Sumner, of
this county, both of whom subscribed
for the REGISTER. Mr.. Kasbeer has a
section of land in Elsmore township
which he bought six years ago, bnt of
which he has never been able to hold
on account Of the leaguers.
He built house on the land-and they
burnt it. He pays the taxes-and they
reap the crops. It is no wonder that
he cannot speak very encOuragingly of
Allen county.
An interesting episode Of the wreck
last Friday, was furnished by a COM
mercial traveller who was asleep in the
caboose of the runaway section. On
hearing the whistle Of Number 20, he
awoke and walking out onto the rear
platform, stood calmly watching the
train. He said afterwards
that he thought it would stop before
it reached him, but when he saw the
engineer and fireman jump from their
engine, he concluded it was time for
him to leave which he proceeded to do,
greatly to the damage Of wire fence
at the foot of the grade. He took it as
another illustration of the maxim that
It is generally better to run than to
stand your ground.
