REBEccA JONES of New York, is an old
maid. That always was her name, she
says. and always will be. Fellows mat
rimonialIy inclined will please take notice
of that fact. Rebecca Jones was lately
subpoened as witness but very prudent
IL concluded to answer no questions.
Becky was told she must answer but de-
clined with emphasis using her umbrella
(old maids always have umbrellas) to
give added force to her remarks. Becky
was obstreporous and took refuge from
the lawyers in volume entitled GA
Christians Search for Happy Life. y
Becky triumphed over the lawyers al
though she was threatened with commit
ment. She was willing to go to Jail until
resurrection day" but during that long
time would hold her peace because if she
spoke cher conscience would smite her. F"

THE Union Pacific r. r. Co. have been
trying to play the old dodge on the q.
S. government, by which railroad cor
porations get rid of their Indebtedness.
This company owes the government an
immense sum which they had no inten-
ton of paying Thurman secured the
passage of bill requiring them to estab-
lish sinking fund for the payment of
the government. The ''dear people" in
whose interest he worked, Immediately
retired him from office, and Garfield, a
man whose record would indicate partl-
atty toward railroads, was chosen in his
place. The people always reward their
friends in that way.
Now it transpires that the first mort
gage bonds come due at the same time
the debt to the government natures
The road will be sold under the first
mortgage and the debt to the United
States will be extinguished without be
ing paid. Thurmal's fate will deter any
one from making an attempt to block
the scheme. The people will slaughter
any one who will dare to oppose the
road. They insist upon electing Blaine
who is a tool of the railroads. This
Country is an absolute monarchy and
monopoly is king.

The Pilot pleads guilty to partiality
for The Milwaukee Sentinel, because of
the ability of its editorial columns and
the cleanliness of its news There is a
disposition on the part of everyone in
the state to be friendly to The Sentinel
and it certainly is entitled to support as
against any Chicago or other outside
paper. But The Sentinel is not cour-
ageous. It did itself discredit in sup
porting Wallber when his candidacy
made vindication of Stowell impossible.
There was not decent democrat in the
state who did not hope for Dixon's dis
comtiture, and The Sentinel should have
been so superior to party spirit as to refuse
abet the plans of the unprincipled
politicians who could use the disafection
of decent democrats and the awakened
sense of responsibility for partisan pur-
poses.
1t argues against its convictions now
on the tariff question, and thus nisre-
presents the sentiments of the people OF
the state. Mr.. Rublee is not protect
ionist. One can easily read that between
the lines of his editorials. Why does he
not speak out his convictions and COM
mand respect for his independence as
we'll as praise for his ability

THE failure of Grant, Ward & Co., is
one of the greatest in the history of the
U. S., the failure being for the amount
of ten million dollars. General Grants
was the senior partner and himself was
also interested. 1t was very discredit-
able failure, and there can be no doubt
that the business of the firm was con-
Quoted in such manner as to defraud.
General Grant is excused by his friends
on the plea that he left the management
of the business entirely to his partner.
Some say the failure leaves the general
poor. 1t will make many poor, as well,
who are in no sense responsible for the
failure.

THERE would be far more sense in
granting pensions to the many poor vet
Grams who fought in the ranks than il
eternally honoring Grant. Grant was
twice president, and had his salary
doubled. He did not hesitate to receive
costly presents of houses, fast horses and
bull pups. His admirers gave him $780,
600. He allowed his name to be used to
popularize a swindling institution by
the operations of which many have come
to want. The swindling establishment
met disaster aud now the nation is re-
minded of its debt to Grant.
Thi- country has been goodIto its de-
tenders, but it has Disseminated too
much in favor of the men who gave or
ders. There are many men who carried
muskets and who have not reserve of
quarter of a million. as Grant has,
Why should not their claims take pre-
eedence? Is it disgracefll for former
president to be poor? Was it not more
disgracaful for him to ally himself with
professional swindlers?

The protectionists have won a victory
of such dime rsions as to be fatal. The
determination to oppose any and every
reduction of the tariff creates some alarm
among the people. The lines will be
closely drawn. 1t will be the people
against the roonopolists. The democrat
ic party must declare for free trade or
disband. The people are ripe for new
party on this issue if the old ones ignore
it. The fight is now inaugdrated and it
will be pushed to the bitter end. A re-
duction of 20 per cent. would have salts
fed the people and practically taken the
question out of politics. Itnow shadows
all other questions and is the only politi-
cal question discussed among the people.

THE n. Y. Tribune is now in favor of
revising the tariff, but insists that the
work must be done by protectionists.-
They fixed the present tariff, it argues,
and are the proper persons to modify it.
Well, it would seem that the present
tariff is just and proper, except that it is
too high. It must be relatively correct
because it is the work of protectionists,
and Mr.. Morrison took it as basis and
provided for a horizontal reduction of
20 per cent. Mr.. Morrison's reduction
must have been proper or the present
tariff never was right. And the present
tariff must have been the correct thing
because it is the handiwork of protec-
tionists. Or what2

that the money failures of the last few

to the results of tendency to free trade.
Now they show no disposition to throw

CONVERSE must enjoy reading the ac-
couts of the final proceedings on the tariff
bill. When the time came to move to
strike out the enacting clause, some of
the republicans were on their feet look
ing anxiously toward the democrats to
see the Judas arise who had sold his
master. And Converse was the man who
had counseled with the enemy and who
was to make public his perfidy. He was
greeted with the groans of democrats
and the cheers of republicans.

THOSE who believe the firm of Grant
s Ward have lost by their failure must
be very credulous. Where could ten
million doilars go and leave no ripple ?
There was no great crash which could
sweep 1t away and there was no suspicion.
that the firm was losing. The interview
with young Grant shows the passion he
had for money making. His soul was
absorbed in Thea one purpose. Does it
seem likely that man whose whole be-
ing was permeated by one purpose,
money getting, would give so little heed
to the use made of his idol?
