National, Not Private, Interests.

The keynote of true protective legislation
was sounded by Representative Kasson few
days since from his place in the houss. His
creed upon the subject is a model for thought,
and will receive the Endorsement of many, if
not majority, of tho protectionists. 1t
placed Mr.. Kasson far above tile average
member upon that all-absorbing question, and
showed him to the country as one of the
broadcst thinkers in public life. His plat
form is that of man who is capable of intel
ligcnt, independent thought, who knows his
lie said: :" l am n prOtcctionist for national
interests and not for private interests.
hope that those members who are for the pro-
lection of tho nation and not for the pro-
lection of individuals will not be crowded to
the wall on this question of protection. l am
willing to go the utmost length to protect tho
national industries. l am not willing to go
to the length of making bad Investment a
good one at the public expense"
So much Of sound, hearty patriotism ard
good common sense are condensed in that
brief uttcrance that the wonder Is that so
little heed has been paid to it. The bane
of legislation on the tariff has frequently been
the supremacy Of money in behalf of private
interests rather than in behalf of national
interests. This one great question more than
all others affects the welfare of the govern
ment; yet it is difficult to secure harmonious
action upon it. AS the years and decades go
by the discussion wakes warmer and more
voluminous, but conclusions are not reached
There is so much of narrow-gaugc, contracted
thought which influences action upon the
subject that purity of intent and high

policy indicated by Mr.. Kasson would render

Col. Tnrn OchIItrnc.

1t Is true that Col. Ochiluec, who is tho
member of congress elect from the Galveston
district, Texas, has judgment against him
of somo thousands of dollars, being tho bal
ance Of account against him rs United States
marshal. This is explained by him as the
result Of irregularities Of subordinatos, and
the necessary expenditure of money in
troublesome times for government account
which was disallowcd upon tho technical
objection that It had not been authorized in
advance. Tho matter IS being treated in ccr-
tain newspapers as the uncovcring of great
secret. The suit against him was not conf
dental; nor was the Judgment The subject
was fully presented before tho people on
both sides during the canvass last fall,
and tho result was vote of popu-
lar confidence for Col. Ochiltreo, being
n reversal of some 1000 bourbon majority.
No charge of dishonesty has been laid at his
door, and tho discussion of it Mt this time is
sure to be understood as small piece of po-
ltical persecution. The Judgment is valid.
The debtor is unable now to pay. AS to the
respective rights of the government and the

Turned UD Again,

Gen. Wallace, tho American minister at
Constantinople, not having been heard of by
cable for some weeks, the impression on this
side of the water was gaining ground that he
was neglocting his duty. The chief end of
an American minister to Turkey is to have
interviews with the sultan, and to have what
the minister said telegraphed to the American
press. Never has the United States been
the standard, than since tho services of
the present minister were secured. 1t is not of
so much consequence what the interviews are
all about as it is to know that they are being
held, 1t causes glow Of satisfaction TO
spread over the countenance of the truly pa
triotio American citizen to be informed that
no ambassador of any potentate Of any clfete
European monarchy can out-interview the
modest and retiring diplomatic representative
of this tho greatest republic in the world.
But tho temperance Of Minister Wallace
in new role in tho telegraphc columns
of the American newspapers shows
that, whilc interviews with the sultan
are with him n second nature, as it were, he
has not allowed them to enervate him or to
cause him TO slumber on the violation of any
great international right. If he can caper
nimbly to the lascivious pleasing Of tho court
music he can frown as well when occasion re-
quires, and present the wrinlsled front OF
grim visaged war. This will more fully ap-
pcafby perusal of the following:
CoNsrAETISoPLE, Feb, 1l.-Mr. Wallace, United
States minister, has protested against the main.
tenance Of the petroleum depots established IN
Smyrna and Consantinople in which all the pc.
troeum imported into Turkey has to be stored,
the importers paying per cent, Of tho value fol

really amounts to an increase of the import duty

able reduction in the charges for storage.

held to be an increase of the duty Good. Tha
is, good as far asi goes. Tho interests Of thi'
government demand, however, that our minis
ter shall go further, and insist upon fXinl
the rent of the ycnders of petro
leum, and their profits or commission
clerk hire, carriage, and other expenses
OF course it was wise for Minister Wallace, il
dealing with this momentous question, to SO
it up high on the sultan, and then accept
compromise" With such evidences befor

Tho reciprocity treaty with Mexico, now be.
fore tho senate, will, if ratified add Mexico
TO the market for almost all tho manufact-
urcd products of the United States. Our
machinery, agricultural implements, vehi-
clcs, mechanics tools, locomotives, cars, and
all other railway material, petroleum, barbed
wirc portable houses of wood or iron, min.
ing pumps, are among the articles embraced
under seventy.thrce heads, under some of
which heads are many subdivisions, all of
which, under the proposed treaty, would be
admitted to Mexico free Of duty.
BY so much as this fact would increase tho
sale in that country Of these various manu-
faoturcs, by so much would the chance for
work be increased and manufactures prosper.
In return for having tho market of Mexico
thus thrown open for tho free entry of so
largo proportion of tho products Of Amori-
can industries, what does the treaty call upon
the United States to do? To admit
free of duty two articles of American
producton-via sugar and leaf tobacco-six
articles not produced in the United States
and useful in our manufactures, and twenty
other articles which are already on our FREQ
list, and may, unless changed by law, DO
brought here free from any nation. Then by
foregoing the duties on six articles not pro-
duced by us and two that arc we have Mexico
as n home market. Tho two interests of
sugar and tobacco cannot suffer by the treaty,
for Mexico exports no sugar and will not be
likely to, to any extent, during the six years
the treaty would be in force. Leaf tobacco
grown in Mexico would not compete with any
of our cheap tobacco, but would promote
greatly our cigar industry,
After the longalcnatior of Mexico brought
about by the Texas revolution, aided as it
was by our people, aud followed by anneXa-
ton, and intensified into deep hostility by
the war for conquest, AMI tho various filibus-
tcring movements which spang up during
slavery times, it seems blessing that through
the better understandings of more progressive
times the door should be open for complete
fratcrni2ation between the two Leading re-
pubics of the world.
The invitation extended by the foreign re-
latons committee of tho senate to Gen,
Grant and Mr.. French the commissioners OF
the government, by whom the treaty was ne
gotiatcd, will no doubt be accepted. After a
conference with them the committee will
havc liberal education on the subject of our
possible interests in Mexico.

Mn. Elaine and BIr. window.

SO it is claimed that Mr.. Blaine's friends in
Minnesota joined in tho defeat OF Senator Win
dom, because that gentleman permitted his name
to go before the national convention in 1850, and
this took Blaine mortg0ged state away from that
column, Some OF Mr.. Blaine's friends in the

FOOLISH and bossy, and If they have had anything
to do in the defeat of Window, and the elevation
Of mere machine, It will be n troublesome time
for them. Some of Mr., Blaine's methods are to
be condemned. Take Iowa. A little syndicate
was formed of n small handful of Blaine mon,
under Garields administration, and none but
those chalked by the small ring aforesaid could
ever have hoped for recognition, notwithstanding
they might have been quite as potent in bringing
about that Blaine sentiment that prevailed, but
which will never prevail again. One of the
things played out" is this thing Of having three
or four fellows skipping OF to the camp Of some
Achilles and dckerng for the delivery OF the

The abuse referred to is the treatment of con-

While tho comfort of horses is being con-
sdcred by requiring two animals whore one
is now made to do the work, and while the
comfort and convenience of passengers are
being provided for, the opportunity ought not
to go unimproved for limiting the hours
during which the employees shall be
compelled to labor. 1t may be
said that there are plenty of men who will
gladly supply the places of any who do not
wish employment under tho present condi-
tions This is undoubtedly true. But the

Three sports got iuto a railroad car,
railroad car with pack oictrds;
They called "hear' "hydr" and there" was
"thar,"
And dthey always spoke to each otheras "pards"
For sports there are, both good and poor,
Prof, ssional and amateur,
Where railroad trains are running,
They wanted n fourth at n euchre hand
Three were they, and they were one short
And they asked a stranger ifhed the sand
TO try little game for sport
For strangers there are where men abound,
And you'll always find a stranger around
Where railroad trains are running
The stranger didn't know the game,
But he was willing TO I've aud learn;
To him the cards were Gu the same
They was to all at first, he'd hearnr'
And the sports laughed loud and dealt the pack
And gave him four queens and a thick legged
Jack,
AS they will when trains nre running.
And then they bet on the poker hand,
And fattcned the pot to a goodly pile,
And they asked the stranger If no would stand
And the stranger stood, with simple smile.
And one sport raised the other two,
And the stranger him, as strangers do,
Where railroad trains are running
And then, in a solemn, breathless hush,
The three sports showed what they had got;
But aces won't beat n royal flush,
And the stranger gobbcd that obese pot.
For strangers and sports are natural foes
And the former carry cards in their clo'es.

The MOssacI,uset,a State Prison.

There seems to be an impression that Gov
Butler rcsently ordered that prisoners in the
Massachusetts, pcntentiary DO allowed to send
sealed communications to their friends on tho
outside. This is entirely incorrect. He "in-
structcd the warden to gather the prisoners
in tho chapel and inform them that they
would be permitted to send sealed communi.
cations to the gore,Tor." This, it is stated, was
to enable prisoners to acquaint the governor
with the crueltics practlced upon them
by the officers of the prison. Most
shocking charges are made Of the
inhuman treatment of prisoners. II
the half is tru5 that is told, there is sad need
of reform. That such a reform is inaugurated
by Gov. Butler should not cause il to meet
with disfavor. The republicans of Massachu-
setts are its most humane people and they will
uphold him in any genuine movement for re-
form without any fear that the misconduct OF
individuals can obscure tho good name of the
republican party. If false charges have been
made an investigation is the only way tc
prove their falsity.
