the tariff confidently assert that he is
opposed to both the propositions above
mentioned.
In an interview revised by himself
before publication Secretary Manning,
for himself and the President, said
"Whatever is done on the tariff, by way
Of revision should be done cautiously
and by conservative methods In re-
ducing taxes we must not ignore the
interest of domestic industries. The
reduction must be made without de,
priving American labor of the ability to
compete with foreign labor and without
imposing lower rates of duty than would
be sufficient to cover the additional cost
of production due to higher wages
here"
In the same interview he declared
that whatever revision of the tariff may
be made in home industries, home in,
terests, home labor and home capital
must be taken care of. Mr.. Sam

ocrats who agree with Mr.. Manning
manage to extract considerable comfort
from his utterances and they confidently

MIR. HENDRICKS DEATH.

The sudden and therefore unex-
pected death of the Vice President has
excited profound regret all over the
country. Mr.. Hendricks is the fifth
Vice President who has died in office,
and his. death makes the subject of
presidential succession a question OF
some public concern, particularly to
partisan Democrats. Mr.. Cleveland,
however, is in excellent health, and no
very startling political results may rea-
sonably be anticipated as the outcome
of the Vice Presidents demise.
Mr.. Hendricks was not man who
kept pace with the best sentiment of
his party on questions Of administrative
reform. Indeed his recent utterances
relative to the improvement of the
Civil Service, have invested him with a
sort OF implied antagonism to Presi-
dent Cleveland, who is credited with
being an "adyanced" Democrat, what
ever that indefinite term may imply.
"Honest Tom Hendricks has on the
other hand been especially in favor with
the spoilsmen of his party, particularly
since Gov. Hill's re- election in New
York The names of Hendricks and
Hill, and Hill and Hendricks, are daily
read IN Democratic Newspapers as the
best exponents of good old fashioned
Democracy. This simply means that
Gov. Hills re- election Gas spoilsman)
by the Democrats of New York, was a
rebuke of President Cleveland's tardi-
ness in making removals purely on
political grounds, and that Mr.. Hend
ricks was not in accord with President
ClevelanI on that subject.
Really and practically Mr.. Hendricks
had closed his political career, the per-
iod of his greatest influence and activity
having long since passed.
Personally and professionally he stood
high in public estimation. No political
scandal attached to his name, and he
sinks into his grave an honored and
respected American citizen, whose
memory barring differences Of political
opinion, Republicans and Democrats
should alike revere.

A REPUBLICAN SENATOR, who recently
called upon the President for the pur-
pose of stating objections to certain
appointment, was very much surprised
at the expressions of the President il
regard to his nominations. After the
senator had stated his objections to a
particular nomination, the President
said he was glad the Senator had called
and had informed him of the reasons
why the man in question should not
have been appointed He would be
glad if all Senators who had knowledge
of this kind would call upon him in this
manner. He desired to appoint none
but good and competent men. He
knew he was liable to be misled, but
when mistakes were made he would not
be slow to correct them. He had no
desire or disposition to urge conhrma-
ton of men known to the Senate as i'm
proper or incompetent, and he there
fore hoped Senators would be candid
with him and direct his attention to all
such cases. The reasons that would
cause the Senate to reject a nomination
would induce him TO recall such nom
ination and thus save the nominee the
humiliation of a rejection and the Pres
ident the modification of appearing to
knowingly endorse unworthy men. The
President further explains that he could
not recognize riierely political reasons
as cause for his withdrawal or as cause
for the Senate rejecting nominations.
He earnestly desired to elevate the
public service and to promote its eff
cheney, and to this end had endeavored
to select worthy and competent men.
When he had failed to make such Sc
lections he had erred through misrep-
RESERVATIONS made to him, and he would
not hesitate to correct such errors when
called to his attention.

DOWN ON THE MORMONS.

Kate Fields Opinion of the Saints-What
She Learned in Utah.
Miss Kate Field on last Saturday night
entertained large audience at CHECKER
i ~ Hall, y. y. for two and one half-hours
with lecture upon the vice and treason
of Mormonism. Among those who list,
ened to her arraignment of polygamy
were X. ii Stoddard, II. II. Boyseen, A.
Thorndyke Rice, Thomas l.. James,
Horace Porter and Alsernon S. Sullivan.
Miss Field wore black silk dress, de-
coliette, and she referred occasionally,
while speaking. to a mass of manuscript
which lay before her. BY way of intro
duction the speaker SAID that, although
possessing average Intelligence, until a
year ago she had known nothing about
Mormonism. An accident led her to
visit Utah. She became SO interested in
the subject of Mormonism that she re-
manned in that territory for several
months. The religion of Mormonsism
spraug into life in 1890. This so-called
revelation, however. was not given to
the world until l552. John Tay lor, who
is president of the Mormon Church to-
day. and its chief apostle, calls himself
The Mouthpiece of the Almighty. A
more iientlsh paper than the so-called
"Revelatlon' by Smith never existed.
One of its sections provided and declared
that if IA man was married to woman
according IT, the laws of the church, be
was at liberty TO commit all kinds of
blasphemy and crime except the she'd
ding Of innocent blood The gentiles,
Miss Field said, were not of innocent
blood, aud could, therefore, be put out
of the way without sin whenever occa-
SION required. Blood atonement, how
ever, is not practiced now to the extent
that 1t WAS during the palmy days of
Brigham Uung. If it had not been for
Vermont. continued Miss Field, there
never would have been such thing as
Mormonism. brigham Young, Joseph
Smith and Herber Z kimball, all bright
and shining lights Of the Mormon church,
and, indeed, its very founders, were all
born in Vermont. 1t seems just, there
fore, that Senator Edmunds who framed
the recent law against polygamy, should
have been bora in that state
also. IL Is the reilglouS nature OF
woman that is appealed to and outraged

husband is her god. The majority of
Mormon women are more unreasOna-

munds bill has served to make the poly
gamous elders wary. They no longer
marry their wives in the endowment
house, the ceremony is performed in
kitchens, baok-yards, or in fact, in any
seclnded spot. Think of i'll Etah and
the Z npire SIate are under the same

SENATOR SHERMAN's friends in Wash
ington are somewhat alarmed over a re-
port that the Democratic members OF
the Ohio Legislature have made over
lures to the friends of Ex-Governor
Charles Foster to stay out of the Re
publican legislative caucus on United
States Senator, in which case they
would unite on Foster and elect HIM tC
succeed Mr.. Sherman. Insurance
Commissioner Henry ]. Reinmund, o.
Ohio, one of Governor Hoadly's ap-
pointees, says that such combination
is among the possibilities. When Gov
ernor Foster was in Washington last
summer he told friends that if the Leg
islature should be Republican he could
be elected Senator. Since the election
he has written to friends in Washington
that the sentiment in Ohio was SC
largely for Sherman that the latter
would have no opposition. 1t is there,
fore thought that the story has small
foundation. Congressman Frank His
cock, speaking about the matter last
week said that the Republican of Ohio
who would enter into such conspiracy
at the present time ought to be shot.

WHILE there seems little reason tc
doubt that it is the Presidents inten.
ton and expectation to substantially
unite his party upon some plan of tariff
reduction, it does not follow that he
may not find himself mistaken, as Mr.
Morrison has done twice already. TIC
men who have not given much atten-
ton to the tariff question, it may seem
the easiest thing in the world to devise
a compromise which free-traders shall
accept as 'a first firm step toward free
trade,' and which men like Mr.. Ran.
dali may nevertheless support. Bu

BISMARCK has of late years exhibited
a decided hostility to this country,
caused by the large migration from
Germany to the United States and
5hick he has been unable to control.
nder false charge that it was dis
ksed, he prohibited a large trade in
pork. He has nearly sue
ceeded in shutting out American petro-
leum from German markets, and now
he is reported as having ordered the
summary expulsion from the German
empire of a number of naturalized citi-
zens of the United States, whose only
offence consists in being natives OF
Germany. Our Government at Wash

There are few men, indeed, whom
we have known, to whose kind
and generous conduct in the most
interesting relations of social, bust
ness, and domestic life, SO many
strong and honorable testimonies re-
main.
His loss will be mourned, not only
by the great host of personal friends,
who loved him for his fidelity, his
frankness, and his sincerity, but by
the general public as we'll, with whom
he was so great a favorlte.
The ever-lengthening list of Ar
thur Mitchell friends is the most
fitting monument to his memory.
1t emphasizes the honesty and 10y
atty Of a nature which sought the
sympathy and courted the esteem OF
others, which humored the weak
nesses, tolerated the prejudices, and
never betrayed the condolences OF
his fellowmen.
His Creator had conferred on him
a patent of rare nobility of character.
The personal traits which usually
earn for their possessor's high social
distinction, were preeminently his.
Kindliness, generosity, unselhsh-
ness, truthfulness,-in what rare
measure he displayed these grand
qualities, these ennobling virtues.
The degree in which he shared the
affection Of his fellows, was inconsist-
ent with the possession of a single
unmanly trait of character.
His name was the synonym OF
honor and Of hearty good fellowship.
His career in this community
marked in rapidly succeeding stages
the obliging, obedient boy,the cour-
teously considerate youth, the hon
orable and conscientious man of bu-
siness.
Like men of merit generally, he
was modest and unobtrusive. Yet
the hidden record of his daily life
would disclose acts of kindness and
deeds of charity innumerable, benev-
olences as religious as they were un-
ostentatious.
He was the most popular man o.
his county.
And deservedly SO.
His patient pains-tahing for the
pleasure and qualification of Others
was one secret of it.
His fondness for the young, his
respectful politeness to the aged, his
habitual courtesy to all, was another
secret of it.
