Martyrs 10 Free Speech.

In his speech to recent delega
ton from Illinois, Presidential Can
didate Harrison, among other pati
tudes, said he recalled the fact that
the visitors came from the state whose
soil was drenched with the blood oil
Loveioy, martyr to freedom OF con
science and freedom of speech. He
neglected to add that IN his own
state of Indiana five persons had late
ly been egged or stoned because IN
this later day they were. exercising
the very right for which Lovejoy was
murdered, and speaking in behalf OF
prohibition. Thus does the candi
date follow the platform of the party,
and 90 to past generations for to-
days issues. What has Gen. Harri'
son to say concerning the outrages
of today? The spirit which prompt
ed the hurting of the eggs and stones
in Indiana is the same that nnrved the
arm OF the assassin of Love- joy in Hi
noi8 thirty years ago, yet this man.
who seeks to attain the highest office
in this country, is silent upon the pres
eut attempted assassination OF free
speech.

Senator Voorhees, speech at Terre
Haute on Saturday night bristled with
telling points His demonstration
from tue speeches Of Morrill,, Allison
and others, that the ultra-protective
duties were passed only on the ground
that manufacturers should be com.
pensated for the internal revenue
taxes then imposed upon them, is
most valuable to searchers for truth
about our tax system. Those inter,
nal taxes were repealed in 1869. But
the duties imposed only to counter
balance them still remain a burden
upon business without the slightest
excuse for their existence. As Sen
ator Voorhees, puts it:
'For nineteen years the Kepubli,
can party has caused the people to
pay the manufacturers Mt least $780,.
100000 year in consideration of a
tax paid by the manufacturer to the
Government, not dollar of which
tax during that time was paid.
A notable feature OF the demon
stration was the parade of the Rail
road Club, composed of employees
who handle trains, and who are i'll
tiexibly hostile to Harrisons candi-
dacy on account of his action in 1877

The Texas School Journal has a
well written editorial on county sn.
pcrvision. His argument against the
untitness of a system of county pub
lie schools is unanswelWble. The
criticism that the author prononncos
against the County Judges in the
matter of non compliance with law,
is both just and well timed. There
can be no good results from any sys-
tenn of schools that hasno supervisor.
A county Judge may distribute funds,
approve contracts, sign vouchers and
the like of that, but of what real ben
eft is he to the people. to the teach
ers or to the children?

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent. J


WASHINGTON, Aug, 10, 1888.
Representative Springer intends
pushing his bill, taxing all the pro.
ducts of trusts, through the House il
possible, Mr.. Springer says his bill
will bring no revenue to th govern
ment, but will speedily abolish trusts,
pools, and combinations.
Senators Allison, Hiscock, and
Aldrich deny that they intended go
ing TO New York to consult Blaine
about the tariff bill, which they are
trying to put together. Perhaps the
Senators did not intend to go per-
sonally to sec Mr.. Blaine, but they
cannot deny that trusted messen-
ger took copy OF tho bill, as far as
agreed upon, to him in order to get
his opinion upon it.
Secretary Whitney has ordered all
the available vessels of the North At
lantic squadron to the Canadian fish
ing grounds, to look after tho inter
cts OF American fishermen,
A howl has been raised among
those naval officers who have had soft
snaps" in this city and elsewhere,
for many years, on account OF new
order issued by Secretary Whitney,
directing the Board Of Chiefs OF Blu
reauy to review the present details,
and report where officers can be re-
leased from shore duty or stations,
without detriment to the service.
This means q general shaking up.
John Sherman, in his speech
against the fishery, said that Canada,
in less than ten years, would be q
part of the United States. If he re-
ally thinks so, why does he waste
timein opposing this treaty? 1fCana-
da is to come into the Union, that will
put an end to all disputes.
Representative Townshend, of H.
linois, is very enthusiastic, and fully
expects to carry that state for Cleve-
land, Thurman, and tariff reform.
He says every mail brings him the
names oil prominent republicans who
will vote the democratic ticket this
year.
The House committee on manu-
features is still working faithfully try
ing to got to the bottom facts in the
whiskey trust.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to give Mrs. Sheridan an an
nual pension of $4,000.
The republicans are apparently no
nearer having tariff bill now than
they were a week ago.
The republican Senators are be-
coming very much alarmed over the
fact that the democratic Senators
have it in their power to postpone
indefinitely the vote on the fisheries
treaty. Whether this power will be
exercised has probably not yet been
decided, but in the meantime let the
republicans keep cool, there is no
need of any hurry in dealing with the
treaty.
The bill to prohibit the use of
steam plate printing presses in the
Bureau of engraving and, printing,
has been favorably reported to the
House.

GENERAL SHERIDAN's remains were
taken from the place where he
died to Washington. The funeral
services were had in Catholic
chnrch, and Cardinal Gibbons par,
ticipated. President Cleveland, Gen
eral Sherman, and many other lead
ing men and concourse of citizens
were present. He was buried at
Arlington, in sight Of Washington.

Wimberly, Texas.
My Dear Sir.-I notice in reading
recent issue of the Star Vlndicator
the proceedings of the Hays County
Alliance in which 1t is asserted by Il
resolution of your order that my re-
plies to former resolutions of the AL
lance were non-committal and eva,
sive. l cannot recall my ladguage,
but certainly did not mean to be eva
sive. All my life I have been out
spoken upon all public matters. 1
neither conceive, deceive nor evade.
Upon all occasions here and else
where, and in my tariff speech have
spoken against our financial policy,
and L did so in my letter, which was
published in the Star indicator,
referred to by your resolutions. My
views are known of all men, and |
never supposed for one moment that
anyone doubted my position upon
the resolutions referred to. That L
am in favor of reducing our tariff tax
es protecting the people against the
oxhorbitant taxes upon the necessa-
ries of life and levying the same upon
tho luxuries no man can doubt. That
l nm opposed to gathering INTO our
treasury a needless and oppressive
surplus no man can doubt. 1 think
all these views are set forth in my
letter. What more could / have
said7 What more should l say? /
am fully in accord with the democrat
ic party. Believing it and it alone
will bring orr people the very relief
thoy seek. / am a democrat, nothing
moro, nothing less

Right 10 the Mark.

Until recently we had not fully
realized how short the time till the
general olection-only two months
and half. The great issue OF Tariff
Reform is TO be settled within that
time, m affirmative decision OF which
is essential TO other great rcformatory
measures, such as the breaking down
of nefarious trusts and monopolies,
which have sheltered beneath and
derived sustenance from our iniqui-
tons protective system. This issue,
so clearly defined in tho last annual
message OF President Cleveland,
which was made the real platform Of
the Democratic party at st. Louis,
makes the present presidential con
test one of transcendant importance.
The toiling millions have had no
such opportunity for righting some
of their most fragrant wrongs, and
il they now avail themselves of it rs
they should, they will find the door
opened to still greater triumphs.
In view of the above considera-
tons we have determined to keep an
eye single to this great contest until
after the election. AS our readers
know, our taste runs rather to the
discussion of political principles
than to party methods or election
eering tactics; rather to literary
recreations than political chickering's.
But there will be- time enough, we
hope, for the Indulgence of our favor
ito tastes after the election. Till
then, ignoring as far as possible all
sido issues, we are distinctly in the
pending fight. The national contest
we regard rs paramount. AS to our
own state, Enthusiastically and po-
litically, she is unquestionably ahead
of her former self, and we trust is
destined to go forward rather than
backward under Democratic rule.
So rs to the state comparatively little
need be said.
As to our local politics, we shall
resume our old time course Of giving
all candidates fur play in our col
umns, treating all alike, and leaving
the voters to decide between them at
the polls.
"Cleveand, Thurman and Tariff
Reform" is the great battle cry of the
present camp.ign On to victory
