THE Cincinnati Ne,rs wants the mis-.
leading "only" Topped of, and the
sentence to read, "a tariff for reve.
nue." This would keep the idea Of
revenue uppermost and in its interpre.
tation leave no room for difference Of
opinion or a controversy. There are
two hundred million dollars Of revenue
TO raise, and ID can be done in such
way as to conserve instead of destroy
our infant industries. The first duty
of party to the people is to be frank
and tell what it is going to do. A
tarififor.revenue only plank starts the
legislator at once to obey instructions
and lay his imposts for revenue only.
His first articles would be tea and
coffee, where he would secure fifty mil
lions, protecting nobody and no Amer
lean industry. By an internal reve'
nue. tax, neutralizing the protection
afforded, the sugar crop, Of which very
little is raised in the United States,
could be made to afford considerable
import revenue. By proper selection
and adjustment very few articles can
be made to yield tariff for revenue
only, not only affording no protection,
but either by actual prohibition or by
means of an equalizing internal reve-
nue. tax, preventing protection. The
Ne,rs head is level, and the Courier

The Superior Court has decided
that the U. S. Statute, which provides
for the punishment Of any person who
shall combine to deprive a citizen of
the equal protection of the laws is I'M
constitutional. This Act was was
passed about ten years ago for the pur
pose mainly of protecting the blacks
in the South against violence and NAL
treatment of armed bodies in disguise.
The Supreme Court holds that Con.
gress has no constitutional power to
enact such law, for the reason that
it is a matter wholly within the crimi-
nal jurisdiction of the State. 1t is
for the State and not Congress to take
cognizance Of and punish such crimes.
If Congress may punish local ofense
of this kind, there is nothing to pre-.
vent it from making a more extensive
usurpation of the criminal Jurisdiction
of the States. In recent years the
Supreme Court has rendered many
decisions whose effect has been in the
direction of Capitalization.

SENATOR HoAR declared more than
once that he would retire from the
public life, rather than serve a State
which had disgrced itself by electing
Benz. Butler as its Governor. The
Senator did not do so, however. He
not only sought reelection with the
usual eagerness, but even was so anx-
ious to get the Office that a scandal
was made over the betrayal of Mr..
Grape by his friends. Mr.. Hoar did
not think, when he made this rash
statement about quitting public life,
that he would so soon have the alter
native presented to him of retirement,
or of marching down to the Vice Pres
ident's desk and offering his certificate
of Office, signed in a bold hand with
the name of "BeDj. +. Butler

A WEEK or two ago the Senate,
realizing that it was doing very little,
resolved to change the meeting hour
from II to IL daily, so as TO give more
time for work. 1t seems that it was
all done, however, for effect, for it has
not met at that hour since the adop-
ton of the resolution, and Wednesday
when the Vice President appeared he
found only Senator Butler in his seat,
when with the utmost gravity he said,
"The Senator from South Carolina
will please come to order" He came,
the Chaplain offered his cut and dried
prayer, and then Butler moved a call
of the Senate. Perhaps the Senators
were holding back so as to have the
praying business over before they got
there, and we are hardly prepared to
censure them. 1t is the worse kind
of lip service, so far as the preacher is
concerned, and as for the Senators,
they do everything but join in the al
legged worship.

what Senator Williams wrote TO a
friend here, when petitioned to aid in
securing the re-appointment of the then
postmaster of Stanford: "You will
scarcely believe it, but Corporals

Water for Sheep.

A writer urges more careful study ofpure
water, and Of drinks in general, on the econ
omy of animals. The priyation Of water tells
more rapidly on health than abstinence from
food. In every kind Of beverage, the part
effcacious in assuaging thirst is the water.
The quantity of water required by an animal
varies with the airs temperature and humidi-
ty. A sheep requires least, and a pig most
water; horses and cattle come between.
In the care of sheep. much water thins the
blood They ought never to be deprived OF
water, as many shepherds practice, nor at
the same time allowed to fully slake their
thirst. TIE latter observation applies also
to horses. The sheep and horses are, of do
mestic animals, the most sensitive to impure
water. For draft animals and sheep warm
drinks are eneryating.
