The Hon Frank II. Hurd, of Ohio, is an
eloquent and enthusiastic champion Of free
trade. He goes to the very extreme Of his
favorito theory, and is disincllned to the
practical expedionts of statesmanship, by
which opposing policies are often recon
ciled. He gives no quarter to the protec-
tionists, and he asks none for himself.
In q speech on the Morrison horizontal
scheme, delivered I'm the House of Repre-
sentatives on the Goth Of April, last year,
Mr.. IIurd predicted the most terrible evils
for the farmers
] predict that before January next tho prico
OF wheat will be so low that It will not pay the
cost of production and tho corn on the western
prairies Will burned again for fuel, as was the
case some years ago
January came and July is near at hand,
without the ful1llment of either of these
prophecies. Wheat has risen In price, and
corn has not been burned. The value OF
these products does not depend upon high
or low tariff.
Mr.. Hurd was not satisfied with one pre-
diction. lie made another equally em-
phatic with the first, and which, as the
sequel shows, had no better fate than the
original experiment ON public credulity;
II those interested IN protection reject this
farmers Of America win rise from the lcthargy
IN which they are slumbcriny and sweep In an
hour the whole system away.
More than year has passed away since
Mr.. Hurd foretold this rising. In his Ian
guage, the farmers are still 6slumberlng. ~
They have shown no disposition TO cast Off
the alleged lothargy or to enlist under the
recruiting banner OF the honorable gentle
man whose former constituents dropped
him at the last election.
IL is not TO Mr.. Hurd or to his moro COM
promising associates In the last Congress
that the farmer or anybody else in this
country under Its present conditions will
look for leadership. .-Ncy York Sun.

A "scoopedr Hotel clerk,

That even the autocrats of the hotel Office

Others, tail, fne-looking gentleman, who

recollection Of having seen him before, but
was unable to place him. He "sized him
up" however, and, not wishing TO appear

BALTIMORE, June 10.-George A. Pyers,
convicted yesterday Of wife beating, re.
ceived fifteen lashes at the hands OF Sheriff
Airey. lie is the FIRST white man whipped
in Maryland for that offense.
After Pyers had resumed his garments he
was taken TO a cell where he wept at his
degradation, and complained bitterly of the
law which visits such punishment on
white man. Henry A. Myers, who has been
convicted Of like offense, but who has
asked for a new trial, heard the blows
as they fell upon the flesh of Pyers, and he
became very nervous. II is understood
that a majority of the judges OF the supreme
bench, before whom the application for
new trial will be heard, are in favor OF a
rigid enforcement Of the law, that wives
may be better protected from the brutality
OF their husbands.
