COMMENT AND OPINION.

| SENATOR VOORHEES, has accomplished but

SENATOR EDMUNDs, in the February Harper,
replies to Mr.. Watterson's free-trade argument
printed in the January number. Mr.. Edmunds
skins Mr. Watterson kindly, but he does it effec-
tualiy.-Atlanta Constitution.
SENSIBLE, practical bankruptcy law would
be good thing for the country But Congress
can not be expected to do anything for the good
of the country just at present. It is too busy
doing nothing.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
IT is only common prudence to prohibit for
eigners from engaging in the public service at
the national capital. Their exclusion ought to
have become the settled policy LONG ago and not
now require special legislation to effect it--Bos.
ton journal.
IN church affairs, as in all other business. a
good thing is worth paying for. Still, the first
Christian preacher did collect any pew rents,
and in our modern churches the poor should be
as welcome as the rich, whether they can pay
anything for pews or not.-Boston Globe
If there is free traden in labor there is also
free-trade in manufactures. There is nothing
to prevent the foreign capitalist from coming
over here with his money and going into manu-
features on equal terms with the native manu-
facturers. No duty is placed on a manufacturer.

1t is often said that the duty wheat does
not protect American farmers because nobody
would mpor: that article If there were no duty.
Yet we observe that Manitoban correspondent

than needed for nome USE and complains
that the tariff prevents sending it across the
lines to be sold to the Minneapolis millers.

THEY don't get their mails out West, either.
Here comes paper from away out in Wash
ington Territory with the following remark:
Had it not been for the almost criminal
policy of the late Generally ANDREW
JACKSON Sparks, the switch-back would
have been provided with snow-sheds, and our
people would not be cursing the administra-
ton for the delay in mails"
If Sparks had covered the switch back
there would have been no talk back, and for
even a moments silence from some directions
on the subject of the mails would doubtless
secure the administrations gratitude.

The unseating OF Captain White means
large accession of votes to the Republican
ticket next fall. If the House does the outra-
geous thing the elections committee proposes
there will be hundreds and thousands of hon
orable Democrats who will so vote as to ex-
press their opinion of the crime against citi-
zenship and the suffrage. That there are
man y such Democrats in Indiana the last
election conclusively demonstrated.
