THE severe freezing has already made
it certain for peaches to rate enormous
ly high this political year.
If you want America to help the world
you must let her help herself, and this
is most effectually done through the law
of protection to all our interests.
TRENTON, New Jersey, has an enclos-
ure where every tramp that is caught in
Trenton is placed to break stone. The
result is the tramp gives Trenton the go
by. A similar remedy elsewhere would
cure the tramp business.
FRANCE can't down the American hog
only by eating it. The United States
differs from China, will not be bulldozed,
and in the maintenance of our COM
mercial rights France and Germany will
learn something.
REDUCTION of iron necessitated reduc-
ton of wages, but few mines are opera
ted and much distress comes to the
miners in Pennsylvania. When Demo-
Gratis get through fighting the tariff,
the country will be used up or
their party defeated once more.

MUTT, who justly killed the infamous
rake and murderer, Dukes, simply did
what the law should have done, and IN
his trial at Pittsburg he has the emphat-
ic sympathy of civilization, yet there
may be questionable Way Of manifest
ing sentimentalism, when it conflicts
with decency and order.
FRANCE is itching for war, and feels
that destinv is about to launch a general
conflict upon the world involving most
European powers. Many reason a war
is imminent, and is needful to rid the
earth of surplus poor, revive industries
Of all kinds, and give profit and good
| time to survivors. This is brutal express
sion, and yet, history seems to warrant
good in great war issues. Preparations
| for war proceed in China on large scale,
and a determined spirit to drive out the
French invader will swarm millens of
Celestials to battle for the Empire. 1t
Will be no easy thing for France to do as
she pleases with China. The United
States will be the inevitable gamer IL
war comes to Europe, butwar inaugu-
rates destruction, suffering and sorrow.
THE Republican press advocate pro-
lection for the sake of protection. The
Republican party is committed to pro-
lection because of the good it brings to
every American individual. There is
NO division in the Republican House on
the essential fundamental issue of tar
iff. No Republican Congressional. state
or national convention has adopted any
resolution regarding this question that
was not decidedly for protection. In
this matter the party that saved the
nation and prospered it beyond paral-
lei is a striking extreme Of the split up
Democracy that is for anything, in any
place, under any circumstances that
will turn over the government to boss
ism, monopoly, salary grab Ben Butler,
or Standard Oil Democracy.
THE immigration statistics for Deem
Der show total immigration during the
month Of %, 1856, making the aggregate
for the year 1883 26O, 1876. This is con-
siderable falling off from the figures OF
the twelvemOnth previous, the immigra-
tion for December 1882, having been 3d.
1868, and for the year 1882 712,544. OF
the December immigrants England and
Wales furnished 1926, Ireland 1,214

countries 211.
