Local Option.

For six days, at least, the liquor deal
ers in the counties which have adopted
local option will have benefit. Under
section 3 OF the act providing for county
option the provisions of the general law
relative to taxation and regulation of
the liquor traffic are suspended from
and after the First Monday in May"
next following the decision of the cleo
tors in any county to prohibit the
manufacture and sale. Section two,
however, the prohibition does not take
effect until from and after the "first
Monday in. May" next after the election.
The LIST of May falls this year OH Tues
day, and the Monday consequently, does
not come until the eth Of the month.
From the 1st to the 18th. therefore, there
will be no liquor law in force in the
"dry" counties. The Tux law will be
suspended and t e prohibitory law will
not begin TO be effective. II can bard

at is falsehood that the foreign pro-
Queer pays the tariff duty" Democrats
assert. '.The New York World has the
impudenee to say that Mr.. Mckinley is
''daringly dishonest in making this
statement in his Georgia speech. With
out doubt somebody is ''daringly dis
honest, but is It Mr.. Mckinley? 1.-The
St. James Gazette" British paper,
publishes the following:
The passing bv the United States House
of Representatives of the Mills Tariff bill,
which places the plates on the free list, has
led to sharp rise in the price of tin. Yes
terday Straits touched 500 IS. Cd. cash
and $50 l5s. three months. This is an ad-
vance of from GA to fl5 on the figures
quoted recently. If the Senate passes the
bill in its present form, tin will command
higher prices than have ruled of late, and a
great impetus will be given to an important
branch of manufacture in this country. =.
A little later " The London Economist"
of August IL quotes Straits tin at f64
las, and also says of the prices of plates :
Tin plates have been advanced Sd. per
box all round in South Wales. Makers
are full of orders. and have to decline
business for immediate delivery, except
at an advance over present quotations.
Editorially, the same journal says of the
Mills bill:
As tin plates are articles of very general
consumption and not made to any large ex-

tent in the United States. the Democrats pro-
pose to place these on the free list, - also
cotton ties. about % 200 tons of which are
REQUIRED for binding the cotton crop.
There are other reductions on iron and
steel of various descriptions proposed in the
Mills bill. which has passed through the
House of Representatives, where the Demo-
Gratis have slight majority. II viii
be seen that these proposals are likely to
prove beneficial TO the English iron trade
whenever there is any fair measure of
activity on the other side of the Atlantic
These quotations prove that the pas
sage of the bill by the House has already
advanced the price of tin and Of tin
plates in Europe, though no action has
vet been taken on the bill in the Senate.
But as 1.-The ST. James's Gazette says,
foreign dealers know well that great
advance in prices can and viii be made
If the Senate passes the bill in present
FORM Yet tin is entirely free of duty
now, and the enormous advance in price
is caused only by the hope that the mar
ket for tin plates will be greatly i'm
proved and the price raised by the repeal
of duties on that product. Which is
'.daringly dishonest" here, Mr.. Mckinley
or his Democratic accusers: Nothing
can be palmer than that the foreign holders
are advancing prices already. in the bare
hope that the bill removing duties may
pass, and will advance prices much more
if their hopes are rewarded by Demo-
cratic success.-N. Y. Tribune.

minority in the Senate, taking issue with
Great Britain and Canada against citizens OF
the United States. He told the latter, in
fact that they were wrong and that Great
Britain snd Canada we're right In his re-
taliation message, however. he turns . COM
plete summersault. He says in substance !:
'.You fishermen are right, after all, and
Canada was wrong We must bring her to
terms, and we can do it, by stringent meas
ures.r
Now, it is evident that he cannot, without
stultifying himself, or making his Admins
tration ridiculous in the eyes of the world,
turn on Canada and say: Il know your case
is Just one, and have admitted as much in
an official communication to the Senate in
February last, but a political necessity has
arisen which compels me to eat little dirt,
and you must excuse me if l threaten to
punish ysu, though you have really done no
wrong
The absurdity OF the Presidents position is
obvious. 1t goes far to prove that he is
neither honest nor sincere in his demands
upon Congress. and that he never intended,
when penning his message, to resort to re-
talation. but only regarded that document as
a clever trick to retrieve the criminal blum
ders of his Administration.
There is another point which must not be
oyerlooked-that the Retaliation Act of 1887
was drafted by Mr.. Bayard himself, and
passed by Congress without change, substan-
tally in its original form. 1t was satisfac
tory to the Administration then. Why is i,
not SO now?

cLEvELAND's sUMMERsAULr
His Long Journey From Canadian
Subserviency To His Present Position.


From the Washington Correspondent of
the New York Tribune.
The hysterical joy and perfunctory en-
thusiasm of Democratic officeholders over
the Presidents retaliation message seem to
have died out completely within the last
twenty-four hours. That extraordinary
exhibition Of cheap buster and sham
patriotism continues no longer to be the
his message to the Senate of February 20,
1888, transmitting the Bayard Chamberlain
Treaty, the President said
The treaty meets my approval, because
believe that it supplies satisfactory, practi-
cal and final adjustment, upon basis
honorable and just to both parties, of the
difficult and vexed question to which it re-
lates.
He conceded, in ether words, that the
position of Canada was a correct one in this
matter. that she was justified in seizing
American fishing vessels and that the
United States had no commercial rights in
Canadian harbors which it must not expect
to paw for. Canada had no fault to find with
this view of the case, neither had Great
Britain. In both these countries the treaty
was considered eminently practical" and
satisfactory" Not a single voice was
raised in opposition to it.
But in the United States it was different.
Those primarily interested in solution of
the difficult and ye1ed question" denounced
it with one accord. The New England FISH
erman to whom its provisions appeared either
honorable" or satisfactory has yet to be
heard from. He doesn't exist, except in the
imagination of Secretary Bayard and few
Administration Senators. Here, then, was
the President, backed by the Democratic

Political Tolerance.

With some there may be too strong
Bowdoin College, for his advocacy of the
election of Democratic candidates. 1t is
understood that he does so on strictly
Free Trade grounds, and there can be lit
tie doubt that he is honest in so doing
For the sincere Free Trade theorist there
should be tolerance and charity. 1t must
be remembered that Mr. Hyde is a young
man, and that thus far his intellectual
life has been passed almost entirely among
books and classic studies, and consequently
has had few opportunities for the disci-
pline and experience of the man of bust
ness, and has no practical knowledge of
political economy, of the laws, facts and
necessities of successful manufacturing
and commercial enterprise. To expect
him to give valuable and authoritative in
struction to the people of Maine
on the questions of the Tariff and as to
the best methods of fostering American
industries, is requiring too much of him.
This is the work of statesmen, and not of
young seholastics at the age of thirty.
To ask him to instruct our manufacturers
and trained business men as to what tariff
policy is best for the country, is as absurd
as to ask these sagacious men of affairs
trained in the school of experience to in
struct President Hyde in the ancient
classics, on disputed passage in Homer,
some perplexing doctrine of Plato, or
some fact or law of Greek or Roman art.
1t may be little annoying to the Repub-
lican patrons of Bowdoin, to the friends
of Names threatened industrial interests,
to have the young President at this inn
