Damage by Storm in Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 2l.-Passen-
gers arriving by the Texas and Pacific
Railroad from Shreveport report that
great damage to buildings and crops
by the storms. Sugar houses and
other buildings have been damaged or
destroyed and crops blown down. A
similar condition Of affairs is reported
from many points on the Morgan road.
A sugar house on Vigenie's Magnolia
plantation was demolished and FIVE su-
gar houses in the vicinity of Jeane-
rette were badly damaged. The steam
boat Warren had her chimney blown

ThlrtY-two Trunks.

Thirty-two trunks! Think of it! Thir-
ty-two trunks, stuffed with the pro-
ducts of European "pauper labor,
brought into the United States by one
family. What is to become of Ameri-
can labor if such things are permitted?
Yet we have the authority of the Tri-
6une for saying that one family that
recently returned to our shores brought
with it "thirty-two trunks and score
of parcels and bags" Surely, some
wicked free trader, who has been over
in London to caution English editors
as to their utterances concerning Am
erican politics, must have been living
up to his nefarous principles and
bringing back enough forei ign-made
clothing to keep his family going for
years. But no; this does not seem to
be exactly the case. The Tribune
item, from which we extract this hor-
rible piece of information, reads as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Blaine's daughters have more or
less of the vigor and energy of their
father. Miss Margaret has been the
business woman of the family during
their trip, and in London Just before
sailing, she ad rich experience in
getting their trunks together on the
city OF New York. In travelling about,
the party had left trunks behind them
in London, Paris and Scotland. These
were all picked up as they returned,
until thirtytwo trunks and a score of
parcels and bags were accumulated.
They were simply amazed at the
"plunder," as London baggageman
termed it. Many of the pieces had
been sent to the wrong pier, and at the
last moment it was discovered that
seven pieces were missing. Mrs.
Margaret set off to the pier some four
hours before the City of New York
sailed, and returned triumphantly in
time to reship the trunks and take her
place on the steamer.
Can this be true' No wonder that
the London baggagemaster was amaz-
ed at the ''plunder." But what was
his amazement compared with that
which must overcome the American
workingmen who have just been read
ing Mr.. Blaine's protests against the
importation of foreign goods as the
one thing that they must resist if they
wauld save themselves from ruin?
Can the Mr.. Blaine who brings into
this country, at one fell swoop, "thirty
two trunks and a score of bags and
parcels, stuffed with the handiwork of
European ''paupers," be the same
James G. Blaine who discoursed on
the abomination of importing foreign
goods to Pat Fords "workingmen" at
Madison square on the very night Of
his arrival in this city.
Perish the thought! If this protec-
tion shrieker were the same man who
brought over with him these ''thirty-
two trunks and a score of bags and
parcels then he is an extensive i'm
porter of foreign goods for the use of
him and his family, and the veriest
humbug alive. 1t must be some 9th.
er Blaine, or else the Tribune would
never have exposed him.-N. Y. Star.

he do with it; he was not keeping a

A Repu bhoan Farmer on the Tariff

have been farmer all nv life have
voted the republican ticket since 1860.
and have always been in sympathy
with the party policy and platform till
now. Of late the conviction has forced
itself upon me that the war tariff is a
very great injury TO the farming class,
and know that many other farmers
who have been studying the question
feel the same as l do upon the subject.
My reasons for this change of opinion
are briefly these
l. l have a small flock of sheen,
and IT the tariff were entirely taken off
from wool it would make few dollars
difference with myself and the major
lty OF farmers, even admitting ..all that
is claimed by the protectionists. On
the other hand, it is claimed, and it
seems to me with good ground, that a
removal of the tariff from wool would
not affect our wool growers, for the
very simple reason that the imported
wool is of a very different quality, and
1t is desirable to mix the two in the
process of manufacture.
2. As to the tariff on wheat, it is
of no benefit to the farmer or any one
else, for the reason that we produce
millions of bushels more every year
more than this country can consume.
No what is imported, but we export
large quantities to England, where we
must sell at free trade prices, and if
we wish to exchange it for clothing,
we must pay tax to get it into the
United States. And so it is with all
else the farmer produces, he must sell
under free trade, but to buy he must
pay ruinous war tax.
3. Coal, sugar, rice, salt, farm ma
chlnery. nails, hardware, drugs and
oils, and all kinds of wooden and cotton
goods, all of which the farmer must
have, cost him from twenty to sixty
per cent. more on account of the war
tariff. Is it any wonder that some of
us farmers are getting restless under
this burden of taxation ? Already our
party is in danger of losing some of
the western states because of a revolt
among the farmers against its sextreme
tariff policy. The strength of the re-
publican party has always been among
the farmers, and i. cannot afford to ig-
more their interests az its present lead
ers are doing.-DanciUe ~ Y. Es-
press. Yours, HI.

The Fishery Treaty Rejected.

As has been clearly foreshadowed
for some weeks, the new fishery treaty
was on Tuesday rejected in the SEN
ate by strict party vote. But for the
fact that there Is a Presidential cam
paign upon us, the treaty would surely
have been approved ; but party is
above honesty and the treaty falls.
The best evidence of the correctness
OF the Fishery treaty is in the fact that
the extreme people of both Canada
and the United States denounced it as
a surrender, while oonsiderate people
on both sides approved it. It's reiec.
tion is simply political jingoism run
mad.
But for the universal confidence of
all business interests in the integrity
and discretion of President Cleveland,
there would now be grave apprehen.
sion OF war with England but while
the President will submit to nothing
that is wrong, he will demand only
What is right, and there is universal
faith in peace Times.

The Mask Removed

As predicted from the first, the Sena-
t,rial tariff bill will not be presented
for consideration at all. This pol cy
has been determined on by the direct
ion of Blaine. 1t is also in conformity
with Chairman Quay's idea These
gentlemen, after careful consideration
of the question, have arrived at the
conviction that the people can't be de-
ceived by such transparent subterfuges,
and that the only hope of the Republi-
cans Is to assume bold front and fight
down the demand for reduced taxation,
There is another danger presented
by the presentation of a tariff bill.
The Republicans of the Senate are
widely separated in their opinions on
the tax question, and the presentation
of tariff bill would disclose this want
of unity, which would be disastrous.
During the debate in the House on the
Mills bill it was boasted by the Re-
publicans that the Democrats were
divided and the Republicans solid in
their respective attitudes. The vote
proved that there was more division
among the Republicans than among
the Democrats, and it looks now as Il
the introduction of a tariff hill in the
Senate would result in the passage Of
the Mills bill by that body.
Thus all things combine to aid the
Democrats in their effort to relieve the
people of unnecessary and unjnst taxes
The Republicans having removed theil
masks the people will at once under
stand that relief must come from the
Democrats or not at all. The promise
made by the Republicans to reduce
taxation four years ago have now been
formally repudiated and the tax bur,
deued people will repudiate the party
that thus trihes with their INTERESTS

where maturity ~is demanded it is on
the bench of the Supreme Court.
Washington appointed as one of the
early Justices, James Iredell, who was
but 80 years old; John Adams agve a
place to Bushrod Washington at SO,
and JEFFERSON named William Johnson
at only 32. This was simply the adop-
tion of the Federal Govern ment of the
same principle which the States had
applied to the choice of Judges. John
Jay, who was made first Chief Justice
OF the United States at 43, had been
appointed Chief Justice of New York
when but 81. Iredell had been Judge
OF the superior court of North Caro-.
lima when only 27.
The truth is that what we have
come to consider tha especial era of
old men was really the most remark
able period in our history for young
men. They enjoyed chance cen
tury ago such as young men have ney.
er had since the civil war broke down
Temporarily some of the barriers against
youth in public life, but the control
ling forces were welded by men whose
average age was a number of wears
greater than that of their grandfath-
ers, who held sway during the revolu-
tonary period.
States Senate to day--Kenna, of West
Virginia was 35 years old when he
took his seat, and nobody so young
had been in the body for a long per-
iod before his appearance. He is now
40 and nobody else in the body of 76
members is 80 young, although, as we
have seen, one-third of the Constitu-
tional convention were under 40.
More than half of the body, it has
been shown, were less than As years
old; only twenty-one of the present
seventy six Senators, or but tri file
over quarter, were less than forty
five years old when they entered the
chamber. The average. age of the
Senate to-day is SO years, against an
av erage of only 45 years for the con
gress of 1857.
"Slow going,' we are wont to call
the ways of the eighteenth century; "a
last age" is the common description of
our own period. Both expressions are
misleading. Our conservative ances-
tors rushed their boys through college
during their teens; two members of the |
Constitutional convention had gr adua-
ted at Is, one at II and three at 16. |
New york college will not admit boy |
until he has completed his 18th year,
and the average age of graduation at
both Harvard and Yale is betwe en- 22 |
and 23 years.

Indiana Republicans went to Chica-
go asking the nomination of Gen.
Harrison for President on the ground
that it would make the State surely
Republican. Ever since General Har-
rison was nominated, they have been
importuning ex, Coy. Porter to accept
the nomination for Governor, on the
ground that he was the only man who
oould pull Gen. Harrison through; the
Republican candidate for President
having proved uncommonly weak in
his own State, by reason especially of
the bitter opposition to him which has
developed on the part of "organized
labor" But Mr.. Porter would not ac-
cept, and the Convention finally pitch
ed upon man named Hovey, who re-
presents the pension mania in its most
offensive form, his chief notoriety
coming from the fact that he is an
earnest advocate of the service pen
sion" scheme, which proposes to give
pension to everybody who served in
the army, Now somebody is wanted
to help Hovey pull Harrison through.
