THE Mills tariff bill is clearly foredoomed to
defeat. 1t can never pass the House in any
thing like its present form, and it is not likely
1t could be amended into any shape in which
IL would pass. Prominent Congressman of
both political parties who represent manu-
featuring constituencies find the bill full of
open and covert stabs at American industry
and are outspoken in condemnation of it.
AS the provisions Of the bill become known,
vigorous protests are reaching Washington
from all sections Of the country against its
passage. These protests come from the repre-
sentatives Of labor. as well as from manu-
factu1ers. The bill abounds with inconsist-
encies, crudilies and unjust Determinations
which ought to insure its defeat, aside from
It's general attack on American industries.
When 1t comes before the House it will be

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, has a
brother living in Missouri who does not give
him very good character for kindly feeling
and brotherly affection. A Missouri paper
publishes an interview in which the Missouri
Hill says he is a Democrat from principle
while his brother Dave is one from ambition.
After Clevelands election the Missouri Hill,
like most of the Democrats, concluded to apply
for a little Office and having obtained recon-
mendations from a number of Missouri states
men he forwarded them to his brother with a
request for his influence in getting the place.
"And, sir, says the Missouri Hill, t'this same
brother, Governor of New York, informed me
that it would be considered uncalled- for should
he so use his influence. Grant never went
back on friend, at least a brother" He says
the Governor received his political training in
the Tilden school, and adds, David is well
schooled. The death of myself and whole
family by some unforeseen disaster would not
cause his face to turn shade paler." The
public has no particular interest in anybody's
family quarrels, but in this case the New
York brothers treatment of the Missouri
brother does not seem TO bespeak very noble

From Minnesota.

Mr.. E. &. Hay. formerly of this State. now of
Minnesota, writes letter TO the Minneapolis
Journa al in which he speaks of the choice of the
Republicans of Indiana for President. Refer
ring to Judge Gresham, of whom he speaks In
complimentary terms, Mr.. Hay says: "There
two reasons, however. why he has no poit-
ical following in Indiana. The first is that he
has never been actively identified with the par
ty. and has never taken any part in their great
battles. The Indiana Republicans have to fight
all the year round; 365 DAYS in every year they
are in the fight, and il is as natural for them to
with them in the cook tent, on picket duty and
on the skirmish line and whose cleaning sword
is alw VS. in the thickest of every fight, it
is for the old soldiers 10 like each other. With him
they have something in common; they have won
and lost, rejoced and sorrowed together. The
other reason is that Judge Gresham had either
a real or fancied grievance with Senator Nor
ton, and very bitter toward him up to the
time of his death. Mortons friends do not for
get this, and TO be Republican in Indiana
to DE a friend of the war Governor There is no
machine in Indiana, except al almost perfect
political organization which never interferes
with caucuses conventions, but confines itself
to the work of fighting Democrats. and with this
they have all they can do. If the Indiana dele
CATION are for Senator Harrison it will be be-
cause he is the spontaneous choice of the people.
And would II not be- well enough for us in other
States to let them say who is their choice, who
can lead them TO victory in that State without
crying boss and machine and thereby impair
ing the prospects in that State of whomsoever
may be nomiuatedF

CHIEF ENGINEER ARTHUR is reported, by
the correspondent of the New York Herald,
to say that, if necessary to win the Burlington
strike, every railroad in the country will be
tied up and the entire traffic OF the Nation sus-
pended. Mr.. Arthur stated that the Brother
hood was ready to dig the ditch in which to be
buried rather than give up. The Journal has
believed that when Mr.. Arthur consented to the
strike there must be some features of merit in
the contention upon which it is based. It
still thinks so; though it is evi-
dent that right is not all on the
side Of the Brotherhood, for Mr.. Arthur
conceded that they had asked for more than
they expected. This shows that the affair
has been badly and blunderingly managed
from the first, and that an agreement
might have been reached if candor had
prevailed on both sides. But if things
have gone along to point where
man like Mr.. Arthur can talk as he is repre-
sented to have done, there is little hope of
compromise, and the country may be prepared
for long and hard struggle.

THE adage that murder viii out" receives
new confirmation in the indictment of four
citizens of Martin county, in this State, for a
murder committed twenty four years ago.
The murder occurred on the 18th of March,
1864 The victim was Union soldier named
Ballard, and the murderers were members OF
the reasonable order called Knights of the
Golden Circle, which caused so much trouble
in this State during the war. Ballard lived
in Martin county. While his regiment was
stationed at Evansville he was granted fur
Tough in order to 60 home and, if possible
arrest deserter. also resident Of Martin
county, who was known to be hiding there
On the date above named. just after leaving
his home, Ballard was shot from ambush and
instantly killed. It was morally certain that
the murder was committed by members of
the disloyal organization above named, but
there was no clew to the perpetrators, and as
many of the people there were sympathizers
with the rebellion and members of the secret
order, it was impossible to obtain any clew.
Now, after twenty-four years, a neighborhood
feud, growing out of another crime, has led to
the discovery of the murderers. One of them
is at present a county commissioner and the
others are wel1-to-do farmers
