The Sheep and Deg Question,

EDrroR CLARION As your columns seem
to he open for communications on the doc
and sheep question: will you hear from one
who keeps sheep and dogs, and has moro
children than any one else sending to a
school of over one hundred scholars. | have
kept from % to IS head of sheep for ten
years and have had but three killed by
dogs, and the sheep run at large nearly all
the time, and think this neighborhood
has more dogs than any other. keep one
bell on every fifth sheep, which tells on tho
depredator; and by keeping sheep and dogs
my sheep are not afraid of dogs. and the
dogs become rs much accustomed to sheen
as other stock and are not so apt to kill
sheep. Mr.. w, seems TO class all dogs as
worthless. / could hardly farm. garden or
keep chickens if it was not for my hounds,
besides a heap of fun. There is a remedy
against the most of the worthless dogs by
legislation against the breed of dogs in the
way of heavy privilege tax. II
is not the pure dogs that do the mis-
chief, but the mongrel. And let there
he small tax on every dog.
but not for sheep Protection Fund" as
W. suggests for that would not suit the
dog nor sheep men, but let it go to the
school fund, for We dog men are great for
children and would be satisfied if we could
get our money back that way. A "Sheep
Protection Fund" would cause some sheen
men not to give their sheep proper protec-
ton as they would do without.
l hope or present Legislature will
make some satisfactory laws for
the protection of the sheep, the
destruction of the worthless dog Ont save
the good dog) and raise the school fund so
as to give us more school and bettor teach
ers. C.B.

Tariff Reform.

Mr. Eaton, Congressman from Connec-
,icut, was recently interviewed on the
Tariff question, and he ayowed himself
\ revenue reformer, and said be had the
reform Of the Tariff ar much at heart as
any one; he thought the agitation Of the
subject in the House at the present ses-
sion was senseless. Among other reas-
ons be gave this: that there we're at
least sixty Democrats who would vote
against any revision Of the Tariff at this
session, and the Senate would not favor
it, and the President would veto il If il
passed the Senate and the House.
We understand Mr. Eatons position
TO be one Of cxpediency and policy o.
70 time, and not one Of principle. lie
is with the Democracy on the principle
1t will be remembered that when the
Republicans, at the last session Of Con
gress having both Houses, seeing the
demands of the country for Tariff re
form so strong, and anticipating the ei
feet on the coming canvass by making q
show Of reform took heavy dutic'
from some articles, thereby lorcstalinl
The Democratic party from ovcrhlulint

ono House Of ConRrcss-with Senate
and President both against them, and
the question naturally arises, Which will
be the best policy to adopt, Mr. Eaton''
plan, or that Of Mr. Wattcrs)n?
Mr.. Eaton goes on in this interview
and says; "Turn the roscas out Of tic
temple. 1t will be time enough to re
form the tariff when We have q Demo
cratic President and the control Of Cor
grcss.' Then he says We can take W
tho reformation Of the tariff without
making a party question Of it.
Our position on the tariff well known
We are committed to tariff for reye
nue., and that will necessarily afford il
cidcntal protection to the products Of
American labor The simple qucstio,
is one Of policy "a to how our part,
shall proceed to reform the abuses Of
the present vllainons system. Shall W,

afford to divide on the question
of policy and cxpcdiency. We mus

policy Of our antagonists. No stoI
should be taken by the House this scs
sion on any sital question without cor
sultation and mature deliberation.
We have too many ambitious leaders,
too many organs who assume the right
to whip the party into theirmode of cot.
Quoting great canvass. An enlightei
ed patriotic press is great thing, Al d
hey help our statesmen greatly in their
lelicate and responsible duties, but our
congressman ought to be able to adopt
measures of principle and policy which
will carry us to victory next November.
