PROSPECTS OF THE PORTER
BILL.

The prospect of the passage of the
FRITZ John Porter bill through the SEN
ate seem to be very good. The bill, as
is known, passed the house few days
ago by a large Democratic majority
When 1t was before the senate at the
last session 1t passed that body. Three
Republicans voted for it-Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, and Hoar and Sewell. It
is presumed they will do so again. Mr..
Cameron IS absent now, and the votes of
the other two, with the prospect of
gaming another Republican, would pass
the bill IN the senate. Ii
may be regarded as about GER
tam to pass that body.
1t is Beloved that President Arthur
will not veto it-that his surroundings
are such that he will sign the bill.
Then Mr.. Porter will be restored to his
old rank, but will not be allowed TO
draw the immense amount of back pay
to which he would be entitled, unless
there was special provision in the bill
as it passed the house. The Democratic
house has, in passing this bill, done VIC
lence to the convictions of almost every
union soldier in the country.

There was doubtless an understanding,
II not a bargain, between the Democratic
leaders and the liquor dealers in Ohio
last fall, that II the party succeeded
there should be a radical change in the
liquor laws. The determination of the
legislature, therefore, to let the Scott
law stand, is causing profound disgust
One Democrat, at least, IL honest enough
to acknowledge his party's obligation,
and he says, In the Cleveland PLAIN
Dealer: ''Upon the question of the re-
peal of the Scott law the Democracy
Of Ohio was loaded to kill bear, and
will be sorely disappointed and greatly
displeased If Its legislative representa-.
tives only wound fly. The people are
IN dead earnest on the subject of repeal
and demand less of the political angle
worm and more political manhood in
the Democratic representatives at Col
umbus."

Trade Review upon the movement

ISOLATION of capt lists 70 secure receip-
rocity with Canada IN the matter of the
reduction of the duty on coal and iron
ore. He wrote that the subject of the
treaty of reciprocity with Canada IN
respect to coal and iron had
not been brought to his
attention but his irst view is entirely
against such q treaty. We have plenty
OF coal and iron ore in this country nov
protected by comparatively low tate
OF duty, and he sees no reason TO dIs-
turb It. Indeed the whole protective
sYstem is now in more danger from its
friends than its enemies. The manu-
featuring interests are beginning TO re-
gard coal, iron ore, pig iron, wool aud
other articles of domestic production as
raw articles not TO be protected.
by duties. If these new doctrines
should get 3 foothold they would de-
stroy the whole protective policy of the
government. The rule of protection
must extend 10 all labor alike-to the
labor of the farmer in producing wool,
| TO the labor of the miner in digging
coal and If it Is denied to the farmer
and miner it cannot justly be maintained
| in favor of the manufacturers It is
labor that is to be protected and not
capital. 1t is indeed more important to
develop the natural resources of the
country in the production, mining and
manufacture OF such articles as wool,
iron and coal. than to protect higher
forms of production where cheap labor
is indispensable.

Abnormal 4ppetites.

While the normal appetite naturally

yards will be common, A fine hedge is
far more beautiful than a fence made of
almost any material The plants for
ornamental hedges will vary to conform
to the climate Of the different sections
of the country. Evergreens are pre-

them, as they are beautiful during the
