TARIFF TINKERINC.

The Blair educational bill having
been sCOoted out of the way in defer
ence to the old State rights prejudiCes
and negrophObia, and the free coinage
Of silver having exhausted the well nigh
ineXhaustible supplies Of gas stored in
the Congressional Uranium, the tariff
thinkers are now about to inflict them
selves upon a lOng-sufleriRg country.
The Morrison bill will soon come up,
without the slightest prospect Of beCom-
ing law, but will doubtless occupy the
attention of Congress for some weeks be-
fore It is finally squelChed. AS reported,
it aims direct blow at some Of the lead
ing Industries Of this country, and has
already antagOnized so many sections
that its fate may be considered sealed.
Its attempt to place salt on the
free list will at once antagO-
niZe every salt interest of the
United States and array in deadly hos
tility to its passage New York, Michi-
gan, Louisiana, Ohio, Missouri, and pos
sibly Pennsylvania. The dead set made
against the wOol-growers Of the country
has already caused no little CommOtion,
in the ilock-master's districts, and petit
tions from Ohio are pouring in against
any change in the wool tariff. Nearly
all the Middle and Western States join
Ohio in this protest, and the wOOl-grOw-
ing interests will pool all their issues TO
defeat a measure which is only intro.
duced to gain sectional votes from few
free-traders ut the East. While salt and
wool are thus antagonized the lumber
interests of North and South are not left
ufFholested; the rice and sugar plant
srs are also menaced, and the
jute-grOwers threatened with ex-
tinction. 1t has been very in
ap~y called "hucksterIng bill'' drawn
up for the purpose of gaining votes. II
could hardly have been better adapted
to secure its own defeat than as now
formulated. 1t will get such Raging
in its passage that its original clothing
will be unacceptable. 1t will prOba-
bly, serve the end of its creation-to Oc-
cupy the time of Congress, make work
for some committee, give the tariff tink
ers time to air their hobbies, and afford
the country show Of public business at
tempted. Learning wisdom from the
experience of the English free traders.
and seeing the effects thereof upon the
industries of the British Isles, the Amer
lean people are not going to join the
free trade ranks by very large major
ity,

A Friend of His Boyhood.

husband this morning. 81 don't think

"Pott?" asked Mr.. Snaggs, in sur

"Yes, Mr.. Jshn Pott."

''Oh, you surely must know him yery
well, for you talked about him in your

Our anxious friends in the north of
Texas are positively assured that there
are no 1882 strikers parading this city
with bludgeons in their hands and blood
in their eyes. a few dozen hungry fell
lows wanted something better than a
dollar day wages, said so and did not
get it. Simply that and nothing more.
There were scores of men, hungrier than
they were, standing by, who preferred
the dollar to starvation, and the wheels
of this mighty municipality moved on
all the same. What fuss for such
paltry matter as that of justice to a few
hard-fsted laborers and deoency and
comfort for their families. The thing
is mOnotonous; it grows a nuisance; it
should be abated.

LOUISIANA won't stand any monkeying
with the sugar tariff, don't take kindly
to free salt, has an eye open to her
wooded districts, and can't see any sense
in free trade under any circumstances.
The late exposition has revolutionized
the Creole state, opened her eyes world
wide and given her q broader horizon
than the little sectional saucer In which
she has been gyrating. She is even now
squirting towards the Protectionist Re-
publican party as her strongest refuge
from free trade foolishness, and her pres
ent attitude on the Morrison bill may be
taken as either threat or a warning,
perhaps little of both.

ROYAL LAMBERT

was an elegant chestnut horse with light
name and tail, white ankles behind and
star. lie stood Ii 81 hands and weighed
1910 lbs; was bred by l.. W. Frost of
Bridport, Addison county, VT, and foal-
ed in 1870; his sire was Daniel Lambert,
and his dam was an excellent bay mare
bred by Orvile :. Roe at Shoreham, VT.
sired by the original Ethan Allen, son of
Vermont Black Hawk; second dam, a
gray mare from Canada whose breeding
has not been traced. He was owned by
his breeder till 1873, when he was sold to
G.. w. Whtford of Addison. VT. and V.
y. Lake of Appleton, Ohio. He was
kept at Mr.. Frost's stables at Brdport
till the close of the season of 1917, made
the four following seasons at the stables
of Mr.. Whitford in Bridport and was
then taken to Mr.. Lakes at Appleton,
Ohio, where he died in July 1882,
As was to be expected from his breed
ing, Royal Lambert was a natural trotter,
and though he was not used or trained
for track work, is credibly reported to
have shown trials very close to 2 30.
He left quite large stock, which is very
popular and valuable.
