Editor KelIy,s Escape.

The ladies OF Winnemucca will
give a Leap-year ball on st. Valen-
tines Eve. A bevy of pretty girls
crowed into the sanctum OF the
Silver State last week and tried to
coax Editor Kelly to promise to go
with them instead OF with his wife,
but he said that there would be a
war in the camp, if he dared to.
Thereupon one of the girls for spite
took the exchange sissors and clip
ped lock oil his hair, saying she
wanted it to show to his wife as a
gift from him. This SO enraged
the editor that he threw the paste
cup at her head, missing her and
striking the foreman on the side OF
the head. The foreman was COM
PEELED to lay off for two days. The
girls ran from the office.

The great point made by Sena-
tor Sherman in his tariff talk in
Boston on Thursday evening, was
when he reminded the men of New
England, that if they lost the trade
of their own country by extending
their foreign trade from two to even
ten per cent. they would be killing
the goose that lays the golden egg.
That is q point which all the free
traders ignore. To them the prop
osition seems simple and plain
enough. With the tariff Off We
would get something's cheaper,
would we not? Why then no. take it
off? The reason is the money they
now get would have to be sent away,
and they would have nothing to
buy tine cheaper goods with. 1t is
clear enough that the imports would
have to be greatly increased, and
they would have to be paid for.
Then the men who now produce
those goods. and they are one-eighth
or one-sixth OF the whole, would be
the direct competitors OF the farm
ers. In such state they would
be crushed to death.

Most Certainly.

We entirely agree with the New York
Mail and the Des Moines Register, as to
the wisdom of giving the hand Of welcome
to all the sincere disciples Of Henry Clay
in the South. The Old South is fast Joined
to its Bourbon idols and blindly follows
the teachings of its apostle--John c. Cal
houn, who sought to make his section solid
on Free Trade and Notification. But the
New South clearly understands that their
section needs protective tariff even more
than New England, the Middle States and
the Northwest. The New South wishes to
revive the memories and to profit by the
teachings of Clay, Crittenden, Prentice,
Bell and other able statesmen Of its section
in former decades. Secession. slavery, and
British Free Trade should be buried in the
same grave. Let the sincere friends Of
American manufactures. of American la
Dor. and of home markets North and South,
everywhere meet the supporters Of
Cleveland's Free Trade programme in fair,
manly. thorough discussion through the
press and on the stump. Those who think
alike on pending issues should and will
act together.

Political Crime In Ohio.

The series Of political crimes committed
by Democrats in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, South Carolina, and other South
ern States, are notorious, having been not
only fully proved by an overwhelming
array of facts, but admitted by prominent
Democratic leaders. The shameful out
RACES committed by Democratic agents
and municipal officers In Chicago, are
likewise well known to the public.
The criminal proceedings in Ohio in
1885 created a sensation at the time they
took place. The authors of them
Democratic politicians are now
on trial in Columbus. Their
crime consists in changing a total of 20s
on the tally sheets in that city into sos,
and which, had it been allowed to stand,
would have elected two Democrats to the
Legislature. 1t was part Of the Demo-
cratic conspiracy of that year to secure a
Democratic Legislature by fraud, bribery
and forgery, and so defeat the reelection
Of John Sherman to the Senate, but the
scheme failed through the vigilance OF the
Republicans. The effort to ferret out the
rascals has never Jagged and it is believed
that they are now on trial. 1t is simply
another object lesson of how thoroughly
fraud and forgery are ingrained into the
Democratic party. Ex-senator Thurman
appears among the prosecutors, which is
conclusive evidence that by the persistent
effort of the Republicans public opinion
against the criminals has been aroused too
overwhelming to be disregarded by re-
spectacle Democrats.

How to Cure q Cold.

Mark Twain in his peculiar vein of humor,
has said many funny things illustrative of the
"hobbies" of mankind; but none of them
surpass his story of how he treated cold.
Every friend he met for weeks had a "sure
cure" to suggest until finally the cold wore
itself out and as usual, the last remedy used
got the credit for the cure.
Experimenting with a severe cold however
now trying this remedy and then that, is
dangerous business; for like lightning one
can never tell where a cold may strike OF
finally settle. 1t may locate in the head and
cause severe nasal catarrh; it may locate in
the throat or large bronchial tubes, causing
sore throat, laryngtis, bronchitis and con-
sumption, it may locate in the pleura, pro-
ducing dangerous pleuro-pneumonia it may
locate in the muscles, causing pains and
aches only equalled by rheumatism, OF it may
locate in the small bronchial tubes or air cells
of the lungs, causing lobar-pneumonia, the
most to be dreaded of all results from a cold.
There is right way to do everything, so
there is rational treatment for cold,
which mnst be cured promptly. The first
result from cold is the retardation of every
secretive function in the body. Skin, lungs,
kidneys and bowels, severally or all are
affected. Therefore, the first thing to be
done is to restore the functions of these
organs. Because of its effect upon the skin,
the old-fashioned rum sweat was an ex-
cellent method to restore the action of the
pores of the skin. But it is dangerous
method to use, because so few people are
willing to confine themselves to the house
long enough to recover; and to expose ones
self Immediately after sweat or warm
bath, is risking your life.
In treating a cold among our active New
England people, some method must be used
that will admit of person attending to their
daily labor as usual.
Among such people, probably more colds,
more cases of catarrh, bronchitis. sore
throat, cough and hOarseness, have been
cured by the use of Johhnson's AnOdyne
Liniment than any other remedy known.
The large circular wrapper around each bot
tie, contains simple and plain directions for
treating and curing all these complaints.
The prOprietors, |. S. johnson & Co, %
Custom House ST., Boston, Mass, will send
to any address, free, valuable pamphlet on
the subject. Or for 35 cents, they will send
one bottle of Johnson's Liniment. Six
bottles for $500, express paid to any express

Cheap Postage.

The proposition of Senator Beck Of
Kentucky, to reduce letter postage to one
cent, we believe to be wise and practicable.
The Senate Committee in reporting
against it will find that the public senti-
ment Is against their action. The people
demand cheap postage and their wishes
and interests should he respected. We
are gratited to see that Senator Ioar, of
Massachusetts, and senator Pratt, of Con-
nectcut, joined with senator Beck ia
protest against the report of
the Post-oiiice Committee Those
who oppose cheap letter postage
on the ground that the Post-oiiice depart
ment is not now making money, overlook
the fundamental premises on which the
mail service rests. This branch of public
service was not instituted as a money!
making arrangement, but as n public con-
venience. The last report of Postmaster
General Villas opposed the reduction of
letter postage at this time on the ground
that 1t would he time enough to reduce
when the department becomes self-sustain-
ing. The Philadelphia Press sensibly
remarks, that this is an argument which
should have no weight. The people have
never insisted that the postal service
shall be self-supporting, but it is quite
within reason that they should desire and
have the best and cheapest service pos
siblc. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are annually wasted by the Government
which might be very properly devoted to
cheapening the rate of letter postage. and
there is hardly any way in which the
benefits of the Government can he more
directly brought within reach of the
people of all kinds and conditions
Again, 1t is by no means sure that the
proposed letter postage reduction would
reduce the aggregate receipts. The analogy
and logic of past experience prove just the
contrary. Experience in this country. in
England, and in other nations show that
postal business increases proportionately
with every reduction of cost to the peo-
Pile. So in regard to the telegraph and
telegraph rates. The assumption that
cheap telegraph rates for services on gov
eminent lines. or private lines which do
not largely rest on watered stock, would
reduce the aggregate revenues and prove
impracticable, has no good foundation and
is the old, WORKOUT argument originally
urged in England against Rowland
Hills postage reform, and supported
In this country by the old
fogies. There is not a shade of doubt that
the siNty-two millions Of people in this
country can be accommodated with tele-
graph lines which shall send anywhere
within its limits ten cords for ten cents.
which would increase instead of reducing
the aggregate revenues. The vast COM
mercial, individual, and other interests Of
the American people require the best mod
ern methods of correspondence. rapid in
telligence, and convenient exchange, and
our lawmakers and public agents may
well understand that the reasonable public
demands must be answered. Senators
Beck, Hoar, Pratt and others of like views
may well understand that they have the
people on their side.

WHY COAL 10 NOT rxa.



In his speech in Philadelphia the other
night Mr.. Breckinridge, Of Kentucky. urged
that bituminous coal ought TO be free Of
duty. He intimased thst the duty Of IS
cents ton was wicked Republican device
to keep up the price Of coal, and implied
that no Democrat would put such burden
on the poor man. The Wilmington News
thus disposes Of this pretence:
The New York Tribune has looked up the
record on this point, and it finds that the
present duty of sevenfy-fve cents . ton on
bituminous coal is precisely the sort Of duty
which the Democrats did lay on the poor
mans fuel. The matter came up in 1888,
and presumably the bill in question was .
Republican project At any rate, the biz.
coat At fifty cents a ton. This proposition
was not satisfactory to the bituminous coal in
terests of Maryland and West Virgins. and
accordingly the Democratic Senstors from
those states went to work 70 prevent the pro-
posed reduction from 10 cents ton. Six
Democratic senator's joined in this effort.
namely, Messrs. German and Groome, of
Maryland; Camden and Davis, of West
Virginia; Call Of Florida, and Mcpherson,
Of New Jersey, and through their efforts the
attempt of the Republicans TO reduce the
duty on bituminous coal from rs cents . ton
to so cents was defeated.
Whatever evil effects, therefore, the pres
ent duty may have on the price Of coal, the
poor man is indebted for these effects TO the
Democrats. 1t 10 sad, but it 10 true. The
fact is that the Reading strike has been an
unfortunate affair for our Democratic breth-
rem all around. They have approached it
from various sides. and always thus far with
disaster to their facts or their logic. We
advise them TO drop it.
The Argus will do well to bear in mind
the above facts. Ii is well also to observe
that whether the duty on bituminous coal
is removed, or remains, the question Of re-
ducing the aggregate revenues is but little
effected, as the total Of annual duties re-
ceived on bituminous coal amounts to but
few hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
But making sugar free with bounty on
home produced sugar would reduce the
revenues nearly s7O,OO0,OO0 per annum.
BY all means give the people cheap sugar,
and protect the farmers wool and the
wages Of the workmen against depressing
foreign competition.
