GIMLBT-EYED ECONOMIES,

The News Is a very giant refreshed with
new wine in the matter Of endless reiteration
Like Falstaff, its disease is the malady of not
marking when it is answered. We cannot af-
ford to travel back and forth over the same
ground, after the manner of the News. We
address those who think with their under
standings, rather than with their elbows, or
their predjudices, on economic questions.
In a recent paragraph we called attention to
its fantastic folly in the assumption that fuct-
uations in prices are caused by the tariff, and
not by the action of supply and demand. We
make no reference to the fluctuations of
the stock exchange nor to those of
the grain and provision market. For
three hundred years, since the COM
mencement of the commercial and
manufacturing era, successive waves of COM
mercial prosperity and depression have SYM
pathetically followed each other over the civ
ilized world, with tolerable regularity of
recurrence. The News maintains that the
fluctuations of prices incident to these high
and low tides Of business have been caused by
the tariff. We take pleasure in recognizing
this retrospective action of rather recent
law as one of the more rational economic con-
illusions of our esteemed contemporary. The
radical trouble with the News is that it TO-
nores the principle on which protection
rests. 1t appears to be unable to realize that
protection may be the true policy of one
country, while free trade may be advanta-
geous to other countries differently circum-
stanced.
But the immediate distenlper of the News
is its belief that the tariff is creator of mo-
nopoly. In this, as is usual with the News
on economic questions, it rides its hobby with
its face tailwards The aim and tendency of
the tariff is to destroy monopoly by making
domestic competition possible. It does this
by counterbalancing the undue advantages of
cheaper money and cheaper labor possessed
by the densely populated countries of Europe.

EX-GOVERNOR CUsHMAN K. DAVIS, of Min
nesota. or, as he is Familiarity known up there
Cush Davis, has become formidable compel
itor for the United States Senate against Mr.
Mcmillan, who is serving second term and
is a candidate for reelection. Governor Davis
is man of scholarly attachments, brilliant
speaker, very popular with the masses of the
country Republicans and the State press, and
has always been identified with the younger
element of the party. In the Minnesota
Legislature, as in this State, there are $50
votes on joint ballot. OF these, 102 are Re-
publican. and Daviss friends claim that he
has 81 votes either instructed or pledged for
him. He may discover, however, as others
have done, that votes which are pledged do
not always mate,ialize when needed

A COUNTRY postmaster named hartman was
tried in the United States Court at Columbus
O., few days ago, on an indictment for en-
bezzling postoffice funds a Democratic pa
per says:
HE kept little store and ran the village
postoffice, and got a few dollars of Uncle
Sans money thrown in with his private funds,
out was ready to respond to every cent of the
governments claim. But it was big thing
to indict postmaster under Democratic ad-
ministration, and Republicans in and out Of
the postal service had it DONE"
This statement implies that the offense was
trivial and not violation of law, whereas it
is specifically defined by law, and the Post
Office Department insists on it's rigid enforce
ment Mixing private with public funds or
depositing them together is penal offense. 1t
does not matter that postmaster '"s ready to
respond to every cent of the governments
claim" the act of mixing his own and the
governments funds is a violation of law.
There is no more persecution" in prosecuting
postmaster for that than there is in prose-
cutting tally-sheet forgers.

CONCERNING the vacancy in the Senate,
caused by the death of General Logan the
Governor of Illinois may appoint some person
to fill it, but the tiIae is so short it is hardly
probable lie will The appointment would
only hold until the Illinois Legislature meets.
The Legislature will convene on the 9TH of
January, and the second Tuesday thereafter,
when the balloting for Senator must begin,
will be the 18th. An appointment by the
Governor would hold till that date The Sen
ate will not convene till JAN 4, so the person
appointed by the Governor would hold from
the 18th till the 18th of January As there is
no emergency requiring the vacancy to be
filled for so short period, it is probable the
Governor win await the action of the Legisla-
ture. That body is Republican on joint ballot
by majority OF sixteen.

The repeal Of the tariff would create monop
oily by putting our higher-priced money and
higher-priced labor on o level Of competition
with the reverse conditions in the richer coun-
tries of Europe. With our present limited
protection we import foreign fabrics and
products that ought, in the main, to
be produced by American workmen
at the rate of 500, 900, 900 per annum. This
is not enough to satisfy the News and its kid
ney. IL American free traders were to be the
only sufferers, we could willingly see the tariff
repealed, and free trade inaugurated for term
of ten years. Industry, like other natural
forces, seeks the direction of least resistance.
Ten years would be sufficient to transform our
country into q mere producer of grain and pro-
visions, to feed foreigners while they mo-
nopolized our market with manufactures pro-
duced under their different and lower eco
nomic conditions. When thus robbed of our
diversified industries, it would be seen how
the American workingman was affected by
the carrying out Of the free-trade theories of
the News.

JOHN A. LOGAN.


The announcement of the death of John A.
Logan comes unexpectedly and almost without
note of warning nyears he was scarcely beyond
the full vigor Of manhood and in his physique
and development there was little, if any, evil
dence of failing health or strength. And yet
he is dead.
The life of no man has been more thorough
~ part of the history Of the country than
that of General Logan. When just out of
his teens he enlisted as a soldier in the Next
can war, serving throughout that struggle
faithfully and we'll. Soon after his return
from that service he was elected to Congress,
and served until the breaking out of the war
of the Rebellion, when he resigned to become
again a soldier At the call to arms
for the maintenance of the Constitution
there was no hesitation or delay in his taking
position in favor of the Union. From colonel,
by merit and fitness, he was advanced to the
command of a brigade, division, corps and
an army In every position he was equal to
its demands, and no volunteer officer served
in higher command or with more distinguished
ability than did General Logan. The war
ended he became again civilian. Hesitate,
approaching his fame and his merits, called
him again into public life first as Repre-
sentative at large and then as Senator. In
every position in military or civil service Gen.
Logan has been in the front rank. His pub
lie life has been without reproach, even as his
private life has been without censure.
The distinguishing traits of General Logan's
character, public and private, military and
civil, were his truthfulness, sincerity and
frankness. He was never hypocrite. He
was always true to himself, his friends and
his country. He was patriot. His love of
country and of the institutions of his coun-
try was ever paramount to any and every
other consideration. With General Logan it
was his country and its integrity first, last
and always. He recognized no other allegiance
himself, and he tolerated no other in any one
else. He was loyal man. and for loyal men
in every relation of life He hated disloyalty,
come in what shape it might, whether in pri-
vate life or public service He was sincere
and true to his country, his family and his
friends, and he expected. and, if needs be,
demanded like loyalty in all these relations.
+ There was never any concealment about
John A. Logan. On all questions of public
concern his position was promptly taken, and
in the personal relations demanding action, he
was for or against man or measure There
have been, and no doubt there are, greater
men than General Logan, but there is not and
never was purer patriot or more sincere
friend. His domestic life. like that of his
firm friend and old associate, General Grant,
was one of simplicity and happiness.
Happy and powerful must be the country
that has for it's citizens, defenders and protect
ors men like John A. Logan.

seems more applicable to England. What
with the everlasting Irish question, frequent

precipitated another Cabinet crisis. and it looks
now as if there would be another appeal to tho

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

House without Exploding.
franklin Pa Special.
A great many narrow escapes from nitro
glycerine explosions in the oil regions have been
recorded, but none ever occurred since the in
PRODUCTION of the explosive so miraculous as the
one reported from magazine few miles from
this city. A torpedo agent visited the magazine
to get twenty -fiveQuart can of glycerine The
magazine Is on the sum nit of high and steep
hill At the bottom of the hill Patrick Bunds
lives with his family. After taking the can out
of his safe the agent carried il out on the road
where he placed it on the ground while he re-
turned to close the safe before placing the tor
pedo in his wagon. While he was at the maya
zine something frightened the horses and they
backed down against the can, upsettng it. 1t
at once began to roll down the hill towards
Bundss house The agent gazed after the can
with horror, for as it went humping along, he
expected every second TO see it explode and
spread death and destruction all around Strange
to say, the conclusions it met did not explode
1t, and as it neared the house at the foot of the
hll the agent closed his eyes as the can was
headed straight for the side of the house and he
could not imagine anything so miraculous as a
non explosion of the glycerine after the collision.
The can struck the side of the house, and al
though 1t rebounded it did not explode. 1t was
some time before the agent could recover sur
nciently from the shock TO make his way down
the hill and recover the can. In the meantime
Mrs Bunds had come out of the house to see
what the matter was but did not discover the
can. When the agent reached the house he told
Mrs Bunds what had happened, and he picked
up the can The woman. although tho danger
she had been subjected to had passed rushed
into the house, caught up her three children. and
ran away from the house as fast as she could go
and never stopped until che reached this city
where her husband was at work. A torpedo
could DOT be subjected to such rough usage as
this one Tas without exploding once in ten thou-
sand times. If it had exploded not fragment
would have been left Of the house or its occu-
pants.
