Not only have two Taylor brothers been
nominated respectively by the great parties
been proposed as candidate by the Prohibi-
tionists, but third brother is now mention

FREE TRADERS DISHONESTY.
Hartford Courant
a new charge is brought against Secretary
Bayard, who Except in the matter of fric-
Il9n la-elesZ - z sfso Head Of the
statistical bureau Of the state Department,
Mr. Washington Ford, like so many other
young men of brief academic education and
limited experience of practical life is be-
lever in the free-trade theories. He has the
supervision of all the consular reports,
which under the direction of Secretary Ev-
arts became of considerable value, and have
so continued until the present time A cor
respondent of the New York World charges
that Mr.. Ford expunges from the reports all
tariff literature favorable to the protective
theory, and edits them in accordance with
the ideas of Mr.. David A. Wells and the
Golden Club. This is important if true,
and it is probably true.

AS was to be expected the seizure of the
Canadian seal fishermen in Alaskan waters
has been made the subject of a memorandum
from Ottawa to the Imperial government.
The seizures are said to have been madt as
far as sixty miles from Alaskan shores. The
Canadian government denies our right to
jurisdiction over waters so far from land.
Our government on the other hand. bases a
claim on the treaty by which Russia conveyed
Alaska to the United States. This treaty
delivered over to the United States nearly
all that vast body of water lying between
the Aleutian Islands and Behring's Strait
waste of waters more extensive than the
Mediterranean, twice or three times as large
as the Gulf of Mexico. When the British
government sends its communication to
Washington, as it undoubtedly will, the
question will be raised whether Russia had
any right to so much of the Pacific Ocean as
she sold to the United Stat -. Opportuni-
ties for diplomacy gather thick and fast
around our perplexed Secretary Of State.

The business men of Mexico, during all the
stirring talk of the last few weeks, are said
to have been disturbed far less by the Cut
ting affair than by phenomenon that is TAX
ing place in nearly every Mexican's pocket.
The silver money of the country is declining
in value with alarming rapidity. The prices
of foreign merchandise, which is paid for in
silver, have advanced fifty per cent, and
many merchants have suspended orders for
foreign goods. It's the same trouble which
the people of India are experiencing, which
some Western statesmen would have the
United States experience.

for the past six years, during which time they
have been tested in the coolest portions of the
reports received from parties who are well quail

substantial character of their construction which
is both scientific and practical, their power and
simplicity of management together with the fact
that the same fire that produces the warm air
generates the steam without extra fuel, are es-

most desirable and economical manufactured; it
possesses points Of merit peculiar to itself alone.

The Third Congressional district is
entitled to a position on the state ticket
this season, and in the tUmult of dis
cussion of probable candidates for lieu
tenant-govenor, the name of ex-senator
G. w. Eyland, of Lancaster, is being
mentioned as frequently and as favora-
bly, as that of any other person. His
cancidacy will be endorsed by every
Republican in this district, and endorsed
most strongly by those who are best ac-
quainted with his private as well as his
public career. He has held offices
without limit, generally unsought by
himself, and in every instance he has
filled them as capably as any man on
earth could have done. When G. w.
Ryland's boom collides with the booms
of the lesser lights who are candidates
for acknowledgements, a well devel-
oped eycIoue will seem bat a summer
zephyr compared with the crash that
viii ensue. Having from lifelong
record proved his ability and quali6-
cations to discharge the important du-
ties of the position; having by his official
service merited recognition from the
Republican voters of Wisconsin, the
Record takes pleasure in endorsing Mr..
Ryland as suitable and worthy candi-
for the office of acknowledgement,
subject to the decision of the Republ-
can state convention. Bloomington

AT Peace.

And / said she is dead; could not brook
Again on that marvellous face 20 look.
But they took my hand and they led me IN,
AND left me alone with my nearest kin
Once again i'm that silent place,
by beautiful dead and !. face to face.
And 1 could not speak, and ] could not STIR,
But ! stood and with love | looked ON heri
with love- and with rapture, and strange sur
prise
I looked on the lips ana the cold-shut eyes;
On the perfect rest and calm content,
And the happiness there in her features b!cnt;
And the thin white hands that mad wrought SO
much,
Now nerveless to kiss or to fevered touch.
My beautiful dead who had known the strife,
Inc pain, and the SORROW that we call Life;
Who had never faltered beneath her cross,
Nor muTmurcd when loss followed swift on
loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips always
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
] smOothed from her hair a silvery thread,
And wept, but l could not think her dead.
felt with wonder too deep for speech
She could tell what only the Angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my ear,
Lest there might be something L should not
hear.
Then out from the silence between us stole
A message that reached to my inmost soul;
why weep you to-day, who have wept be-
fore,
That the road was rough must journey o'er2
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold, all my life have longed for rest
Yea, cen when held you on my breast;
And, now that | lie in GREATNESS sleep,
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep.
My dearest, know that you would not break,
If you could, my slumbers, anil have me wake,
For, though life was full of things that bless,
have never till now known happiness"
Then dried my tears, and with lifted head
left my mother, the beautiful dead.

In the great speech last Tuesday
night, Mr.. Blaine said:
Notsuntil the case of ireland arose
had England herself ever failed ia her
people or in her government for the
last fifty years to extend sympathy and
sometimes the helping hand to strug-
Cling nadonalities that wanted to get
free fromsa tyranny which, she could
not see she is exercising herself upon Ire
land. When Hungary revoited against
Austria KosSuth was as much of a hero
ia England as he was in America.
When Lombardy broke from Austria on
the south side of the Alps the British
Ministry could scarcely be he held back,
and when Sicily revolted against the
reign of the Neapolitan Bourbons the
sympathy was SO active that Lord Pal
merston was &c cused in Parlisment
and did not deny that guns from the
WoolWich Arsenal had been smuegled
into the Island of Sicily to aid in the
Instruction.
All this is historically true. London
has for half a century been the refuge
of the leaders of revolution among the
struggling nationalities of Europe, and
English cabinet ministers have extend
ed to them support and sympathy,
even when their methods were not al
ways in accord with International polity
or the rules of strict morality. So,
"quite apart from any consideration ex-
cept the broad one of philanthropy and
Christianity, the United States is Just
flied in standing forth as the friend of
ireland"

The renewal of reports of the prob
ability of war between Russia and Tur-
key grow oIt of the recent warlike
utterance of the Gar and the antagon-
ism of Russia to Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria ever since Last September.
when he undertook to add Eastern
Roumelia 60 his territory and fight
Servia without consulting the Gar
More recently Alexander has ordered
the diScontinaance of the Russian Ian
guage as the Official language of his
realm and has dispensed with the SER
vice of many Russian officers, beside
entering upon friendly relation with
Turkey. This is more thar Russia can
stand, and the S!avophil party is es-
pecially enraged Hence the Cars
recent utterances. He may not per-
senally desire to engage an another
costly campaign OF the Balkan PENN
ssla, but the popular feeling in Russia
may before long force b i'm to do, as it
did in 1877. This time it will probably
be a death struggle for Turkey, if
Austria keeps out of the way and Ger
maRY consents to Russian campaign,
as she did nine years ago.
