REPRESENTATIVE DoRsHEMIER of New
York has introduced into the House a
bill which has for its object the removal
of the duty on products of the forest
The agitation of the lumber tariff ques-
ton has thus far been confined princi-
pally to the east. The people of that
section are interested in the matter on
account of the fact that there is strong
probability that the vast forests of the
Adirondacks will in few years be wiped
out OF existence unless some remedial
measure is adopted by congress. West
ern papers have not urged the matter so
strongly because with us the danger is
not so imminent. The great western
forests will still continue to yield lum-
Der supply for many years, but at the
present rate of destruction there will
inevitably come time when the folly of
at present keeping out imported lumber
will be more readily apparent. The
Malthusian theory may not be all that it
was once thought to be, but in so far as
it may be construed TO apply to the
lumber yield of this country the chances
are good for it to be verified, unless in
the meantime congress should see fit to
take the proper action.

A BILL has recently been introduced
into congress for the restoration of Fitz
John Porter to the rank of colonel, and
allowing him back pay for twenty years.
Republican papers are, as a matter of
course, raising howl against the pro-
posed move in favor of the general.
The fact has, however, long since been
apparent to all unpreiudiced thinking
men that Porter has been a wronged
man. Some of the best generals the war
produced have not hesitated of late years
to speak out openly in his favor. They
are the men who ought to know some
thing about the matter and their opinion
should be given due credence when the
matter comes up in congress.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1884-01-24

For number of years past there
has been quite an effort made on the
part of politicians to keep the tariff
question out of politics. Strictly speak
ing, the republican party as whole, has
always been in favor of protection while
free trade has always been one of the
leading doctrines of the democracy. Of
late years, through prominent men in
both of the great political organizations,
have from time to time thought fit to
differ from the rank and file of their re-
spective parties on the tariff matter, and
on this account the question has been let
pretty severely alone. Lately the tariff
has cut more prominent feature in pol
itics than it has in some years, and it is
fast becoming looked upon as the one
great issue upon which the two parties
are now at variance. Free trade or pro-
lection will no doubt be the leading
question in the coming presidential cam
paign, and to the people of Wisconsin
and of the west in general it is matter
of grave importance which doctrine shall
carry the day. The great manufactur-
ing monopolists of the country will use
their influence in favor of keeping up the
present ruinous high tariff. but in the
intelligent farming element of the west
who are anxious to buy manufactured
products as cheap as possible these auto.
Gratis viii find their most formidable op-
ponents.

The latest victim of a presidential
boom is Lucius Fairchild of this state.
Senators Cameron and Sawyer are. it is
said, trying to so fix up matters as to
run the Chicago convention in the inter-
ests Of the ex Wisconsin governor. There
are couple of very good reasons why
the scheme which has been set on foot
will probably fail to connect. In the
first place it is very probable that the
boom will have spent itself before the
time of the convention. The successful
presidential nominees of late years have
been men who have cut but an insight.
ficant figure in the race for the nomina-
ton. On the other hand it is extremely
unlikely that the big guns of the party
who are to meet in Chicago in June will
submit to be dictated to by the Wiscon-
sin senators. The fact that Fairchild
has been absent from the country great
deal of late years, and therefore has ''no
record" may be point in his favor, but
there are scores of men in the party who
have record in earnest and in the coming
will be only too anxious to let the coun-
try know about it.

IT is now claimed that the officers of
the City of Columbus are responsible for
the wreck of the steamer and the terrible
loss of life that resulted. The captain
went to sleep and the pilot tied up the
wheel and left his post. The life of the
sailor at this time of the year is no doubt
a hard one and the temptation for officers
to shirk their duty is correspondingly
great. Those, however, who voluntarily
engage in the business and have null
titude of human lives entrusted to their
charge, are greater objects of adherence
than the worst kind of criminal if they
hold personal convenience of more i'm
portance than the lives of those they
have undertaken to carry.

THERE is no doubt that congressman
Hewitt's connection with the O'Donnell
investigation was somewhat unfortunate
for that noted statesman. Mr.. Hewitt
claims that be was throughout sincere
and consistent in the course he adopted,
but the report of his enemies to the con-
trary makes such splendid political CAPT.
tai that they are very reluctant to be-
lieve that the New York congressman
acted in good faith. The best way for
Hewitt and his supporters to get out of
the difficulty would be to have the mat
ter investigated. If he is innocent of
the charge that fact will rebound to his
credit, but if not he is the worst kind of
a demagogue and the sooner that fact is
established the better.

THE verdict of the jury in the Mutt
Trial, which terminated at Pittsburg on
Tuesday, will give general satisfaction.
The charge of the judge was clearly
against the theory of insanity at the time
of the killing, but the jury thought 9TH
erwise. Sifted down the verdict really
means that the jury were of the opinion
that Nuts victim deserved his fate, and
while some doubt may be entertained as
to the correctness of their position, their
action will be far more favorably rece;v-
ed than that of the jury who acquitted
the villain that caused all the trouble.

THE ocean steamer City of Columbus
plying between Havana and Boston,
while off New Bedford on last Friday
night struck on ledge of rocks and went
to pieces. 120 lives were lost as result
of the dire calamity. The night was bitter
cold, heavy sea prevailed at the time
and the few who managed to live through
the night suffered terribly. The disaster
is by far one of the worst that have taken
place on the water in some time.
