Death of Editor webb.

The UnionviIle, Mo, Republican, ="
March 18th, is in mourning for the
death of Herbert N.Webb, it's editor and
proprietor, in the 34th year of his age,
from an attack of typhoid fever. Mr..
Webb was born at Hudson, Columbia
county, New York, July 20, 1852, and
succeeded his late father, Alexander n.
Webb, in the editorial management Of
the Hudson "Daily Star" He subse-
quently moved to Unionville, Missouri,
where he took control of the "Repub-
lican," from which these points are
cleaned Mr.. Webb was married in
1876, and leaves a widow and two
children to mourn his loss. To his good
judgment and untiring efforts the unfit
cation of the Republican party inthat sec
ton was due. He was possessed
of strong, manly, sympathetic
nature, combined with business at
tributes that made him friends
everywhere His position in the COM
munity was won by merit alone. The
various beneficiary orders OF which he
was member, and the Roderick Roch-
wood Post No. 80, @. A. R., paid suita-
BILE tributes to his memory. The funeral
was one of the largest ever held in
Unionville, business being suspended for
several hours as a mark of respect to
his memory This promising journalist

The station House robbery.

Deputy Marshal Dayton investigated
the matter of the opium stolen from the
Station House as stated by us in Fridays
issue, and found that one of the prison
ers, Kolii by name, who has been en-
ployed around the Station House, hired
an express at the corner of Nuuanu and
King streets early on Thursday morning,
and sent the opium, which was carefully
packed in a box, to the store of a China
man on Queen street. Kolii first tele-
phoned from the Station House for an
express, but it not making an appear
ance, he carried the opium to the corner
of the streets mentioned above and there
found what he wanted. From the
Chinaman's store there is no doubt Ho-
ponopono, the native, took it away. The
latter, who has been in the business for
long time, was sentenced yesterday to
two years hard labor and $3.50, it being
his third offense. The prisoner, Kolii,
was fined $25 and one year, and the
girl Kohoea, HOpOnopono's niece, $50
and twenty days.

Ex-spEAKER GROW ON THE TARIFF.

EX-SPEAhER GROW ON IHE IdHHT.
One of the foremost leaders at the time of the
creation of the Republican party, who is still
a leader of opinion and action, discusses the
questions now at issue in a speech of which the
material parts are elsewhere given to-day. Ex-
Speaker Grows large experience makes his
opinion of value as TO the questions which have
greatest hold upon the thoughts and votes Of
the people, He devOtes his attention almost
exclusively to the tariff question and takes care
TO explain it so simply and thoroughly that
those who have arrived at the voting age since
the old discussions of that question were ter
minated by the outbreak Of pro-slavery and
FREQ trade rebellion may not fail to understand it
The most striking part Of this speech is tho
clear distinction which 1t makes between a
home and foreign capacity to supply product,
as TO its effect upon the price. The truth Is not
new TO students Of economic problems, and yet
no one has presented it quite as forcibly as
Mr.. Grow. The increased home capacity of
supply almost surely prevents great or long
continued enhancement Of prices, when an UNI
expected demand arises But a foreign capacity
to supply the same demand, however great that
capaclty NAV be does not have the same effect
The reasons are presented by Mr. Grow with
great distinctness. But the question is not one
of theory, but of fact and Mr.. Grow meets it
as such questions should lie met, by ample cita-
lions of market prices in proof Of his position
This portion of his speech will especially repay
pcrusal for those who have been thus far men
tally confused by the common free trade claim
that the domestic product is always enhanced
in price by the protective duty.
Mr.. Grow docs not by any means cOnfne his
attention to this branch Of the matter, but dis
cusses with force the tariff bills presented at the
las. session by the two wings of the Democratic
party. showing that neither the Morrison bill
nor the Randall bill is to be tolerated by the
sincere friends Of home industry. HIS criticism
OF the course Of the Executive departments
under the present Administration, and his dis
cusson Of the financial course of the party in
DOVER are worthy Of notice. He could not dis
cuss the financial policy of that party, for it
has none, and its greatest effort during the last
session of Congress was to rebukc and humiatc
its own Administration for what it had done to
uphold the public credit. Not the least of the
merits of this and other such speeches from lead
ing Republicans is the striking contrast which
they present to the course of prominent Demo-
Gratis and Democratic journalists at this time,
who still spend their strength in dishonest
schemes to dctach Republican voters by keep
ing in the field prohibition and other scattering
tickets while evading all manly treatment Of
the great questions upon which the welfare of
the country mainly depends.
