THE free-trade Democrats are evidently try

to send the party to the rear, and the prospects
are that they will sueceed-Atlanta Constitu-

MAN with true moral courage would have

If the chance should be given to the Repub-
hcans to raise this woolly shirt, then beyond
question it will be 0the banner of victory. 1t
would stand for the banner of protection and
the majority that would rally to it's support
would be too great to justify any prolonged con-
sideratlon of the chances of the other side.

THE Louisville Courier-Jo Journal, comment
ing on the good showing made by that city in
the weekly clearing house exhibit says that
for the week ending Jan. it showed "a far
larger increase in bank clearings than any
other city in the United States, except one
city of 8 third and one of tenth of the clear
ings average in Louisville" One of the cities
referred to is indianapolis, which showed an
increase in its clearances of 40 per cent.
over the corresponding week of last year.
This was the largest increase of any city
in the United States except one, that of
Louisville being SO per cent. OF the
thrty-eight cities listed twenty -one report
larger aggregate clearances and sixteen smaller.
But the significant point is not so much in the
aggregate clearances as in the per cent. of in
crease, and in this regard this city led all the
rest.

Mr.. THGBE's speech, delivered before the
House Of Representatives, shows him to be a
man of sense and character. Though not a
practiced speaker nor accustomed to appear
before public assemblies, he was not greatly
abashed by the popularity of the situation,
and addressed the House as an honest Ameri-
can citizen who had something to say. and
was not afraid nor ashamed to say it. He
gave the House to understand that he asked
no favors, nothing but simple justice and fair
play. Referring to his early life. he said,
with touch Of pathos: ''Twenty-seven years
ago was an apprentice boy at my trade. If
] had then been in a lawyers Office, reading
law. perhaps / might stand little different
now" But he repudiated the idea that the
Speaker was entitled to any special considera-
hon from the House because of his position.

A BANQUET was given in New York the
other night. by the superintendent and officers
representative men. Among the guests and
speakers was Col. r. G. Ingersoll, who re-
sponded for 1.-The Press" In the course of
his remarks the Colonel said his idea and hope
of the press of the future was that sit should
not be the bat of suspicion, the chattering
jay of gossip, or the vampire fattening the
reputation of men; but the eagle, rising and
soaring in the cloudless blue, above all things
and sordid, grasping in its talons the
thunderbolts of justice" 1t is evident the
Colonel had model paper in his minds eye.
Though we do not care TO name the paper, W g
may remark that now is the time to subscribe.

1.-THE humblest citizen said Mr.. Thebe,
'has as much right, and is entitled to as
much as the highest" He gave the House to
understand that he was not tramp nor an
adventurer, for he owned home in Ken
lucky, and one in Indiana also. where he
lived for some years. Yet the House refused
to give him chance to prove his claim, and
virtually notified him and the thousands of
workingmen who voted for him that they had
no rights that a Democratic House was
bound to respect.

AND now Ohio and Indiana wool growers
demand protection for their industry. BY
the time the returns are all in the President
will have reached the conclusion that the en-

the District of Columbia to the Pacific, is
vast sheep-fold. When he wrote that message
he thought there were but few, and they
all Republican sheep, and that it was entirely
safe to attack them.

REPRESENTATIVE BYNUM of this district,

REPRESENTATIVES, BYNUM, of this district,
has for some time been posing as the working
mans friend. His reasons, of course, are
purely demagogicai. Mr.. Bynum is lawyer
and politician, and his alleged sympathy will
workingmen is altogether artificial. In accord
ance with this role in the first test vote in the
Carlisle Thobe case he voted in favor of re-
opening the case. This was to enable him to
say he had voted for the workingmep, but
when it to the pinch he voted with his
party to shut. the door in Mr.. Thebes face.
His sympathy for the workingman gave way
under the party lash. AS Mr.. Bynum seems
anxious to make record, the Journal will
assist him in saving all the points.

To judge by the fuss made and the headlines
INDUCED in by enthusiastic Democratic news
papers over the Presidents gift to the Pope OF a
copy of the federal Constitution. those organs
are under the impression that his Holiness is
sitting up nights to read the document They
are probably mistaken. The Constitution is
not of that style of American literature which
is popular in the old world, but is of the kind
which retires to shelves and pigeon holes. while
"Artemus Ward" mark Twain and "Bill
Nye" entertain the cultured populace.

which have poured in upon Mr.. Carlisle since

which the Speaker professed to despise, did
have something to do with his illness after all.

Revival of a Gran66ooe Scheme Projected
by Peter ths Great.
Among the many grandlose ideas
transmitted TO Russia by Peter the
Great was one, conceived during his

Persia Of diverting the river Oxus
afresh into that sea Dur'rg the last
twenty years the Russian Government
has repeatedly revived the project,

We believe the opinion prevails among
geographers and geologists that geo.
logical changes have taken place in
the desert between the Caspian
and Oxus, rendering waterway
between the two no longer
practicable. That, however, is not the
view in Russia, and the fact that hopes
still prevail Of diverting some OF ths
