Secretary Manning who was
claimed by the protectionists as one
of their own, turns out to be far
from befuddled on the question of
import duties. He is not in favor
of tariff tinkering; but would rather
have the present much tinkered
taIilf laws repealed, and more ex-
plicit and reasonable statutes enact
ed in their stead. He takes no
stock in the sensless cry of "pauper
labor" and recognizes the fact that
"the higher wages of American labor
are Mt once the secret and the security
of our capacity to distance all COM
petition from 'pauper labor in any
market" He favors material re-
ductIon of import duties, and con-
siders the prefencc of tax payers
for duties upon articles not produced
in this country Unsuitable, and
would have raw materials placed
upon the free list. Surely the adj
vocates Of the spoliation system
have indeed caught tartar in the
Hon. Daniel Manning. He promises
to be one of the most effectual
workers in the cause of tariff reform.

/ Singular E;capa.

Matt Fisher, of the town Of Ken
dali, Lafayette county, was thresh-
ing his grain a short time ago, and
had a team hauling the grain from
the machine into his barn. When
the wagon was partially loaded,
Mr.. Fisher. left his son, u lad of II
years, sitting in the wagon holding
the horses, when they started to run
for the barn, and as one of their
brides came off the little fellow
was unable to stop them; nor did
they stop until they ran through
the barn and out Of the back door,
taking boy, wagon, oats, post and
three boards of the barn with them.
The door through which they made
their exit was ten feet from the
ground, but strange to say: nothing
but the wagon was injured in the
grand tumble. The boy patiently
kept his seat and came out without
a scratch The wagon tongue broke
and prevented the wagon from fall
ing upon the horses. The escape
from serious injury to the boy and
the horses was indeed singular one,

In the electoral contests in Great
Britain and Ireland the liberals have
secured a large psurality over the
conservatives; but as the Irish nation
alists have secured something over
eighty members, it is hardly prob
able that the liberals will have n
majority over both conservatives
and nationalists. if they should
have a majority at all it will be
too small to make it safe for the
liberals to take Office, and depend
upon their own strength alone for
support. A coalition between the
liberals and nationalists is now
strongly talked of, and Mr.. Glad
stone seems disposed to make such
concessions to Mr.. Parnell as will
secure his support. 1t now seems
that through the assistance of the
liberals Ireland may obtain i'll
some measure at least, the relief
demanded. 1t is far more likely
to come from this source than from
the tories.

esting boo, Of over six hundred pages, and one
that every Wisconsin citizen should read-the
elder ones as a reminder of old times, and the
younger ones to learn something about the early
history of the state they are now proud to call
their own. OF course, much of il is statistical
and dry, but their is enough history to make ii
very interesting and it is exceptionally well

| maintain our national credit, and put wisdom
above partisanship-these are the principles and
purposes which guided the executive hand IN
preparing this review of the affairs OF the nation.
1t Is the complex sentiment of patriotism re-
duced to practical expression and applied to
the business OF the state.
The Louisville Courier democrat
ic) says:
The message of President Cleveland gives
every assurance to the people that the govern
ment is in the hands of one careful. capable and
patriotic. It shows that he has mastered the
difficulties of the political situation, and that ne
will meet with sound judgment ard courage

points affecting the welfare OF the people, and
those who heretofore have believed that he was
an accident will be convinced that he is man
whose own force of character has marked ont
his destiny.
The New York Evening Mail Ere
pubiican) says:
The general underlying principles OF The
message are those of an honest and earnest
democrat whose convictions as to the lmita-
tons of the sphere and functions OF the
federal government are very clear and strong
In the application of these principles, and ia
the application OF the settled American prlnci'
pies as regards our foreign relations, Dir. CteYe-
land shows to good advantage.
The Minneapolis Tribune (repub-
lican) speaks of the message as
dlgnifed, studied effort:
1t does not hedge, or apologize or cater to the
silver party in single expression; but it pro-
| ceeds to demolish their position with cumula-
tive use of facts and logic that is overwhelming.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press (repub-
lican) says:
| Without a single exception. the views of The
president on everyone of the multitude OF sub
jects which he touches are wise and sound.
The Buffalo Express Republican,
published at the Presidents home,
saws:
1t cannot be said that Mr. Clevelands message
| is verbose or diluse 1t is clearly all his own,
and his style is always terse and compact.
Many may disagree with the presidents opin-
ions, but nu!e, think can fairly deny that
they are presented in a candid. honorable and
truthful way. II is a state paper of which no
American will be ashamed and OF which Buffalo
Americans have right 10 be proud. -Four years
ago-or even year ago-nobody would have
chosen Mr. Cleveland as that citizen of Buffalo
best qualified to write presidential message.
| Many would not now choose him But if we
have many men here who can write as good
message II IS fair to conclude that this is
brany kind of a town.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Very few newspapers of the
country have ventured an adverse
criticism upon President Cleveland s
message to congress, which is gener-
ally regarded as being one of the
ablest state papers ever written.
The New York Post Gndependent)
says:
1t is not often that Presidents message get,
50 much praise both At home aud abroad as has
been bestowed On President Clevelaud's.
The theory that Mr. Cleveland was weak aud
would be inspired by others has evidently been
abandoned No state paper produced in this
country since Lincoln's death has contained SO
many evidences as President Cleveland's ofhav.
iug "a man behind the pen
The New York Tribune, which
before his election to the Presidency
could see no good in Mr.. Cleveland,
criticises the message very favorahly
and says:
The first message of the president is a credit
able one. On some Of the most important
questions OF which II treats 1t deserves hearty
praise The presidents argument fol
the suppression OF silver coinage is earnest
strong, and convincing, Criticism of its details
is needless: the earnest tone and clear reasoning
of the we'll remembered February letter appear
again in the message. 1t is TO the credit Of the
president that there is no waveriug or fiinchine
in his recommendation and his uttersnces ar,
as bravely uneompromising as If he were no
aware OF the pronounced hostility of a large
majority Of his party in the house.

The message is a safe clear, conservative paper
and upon the whole Is an able state document
