bassadorS-They, However, Represent

Especial CorresPoacencc.l
OF all queer people that Washington has
ever seen the Coreans who were presented
TO the President recently are the Gueerest.
There are ten of them in the legation and
they have been going to the tbeaters and
strolling about the streets by tyvos and
threes all the week, dressed in their gor-
geous silks and acting as unconsciously as
If they had been attired in the most un-
noticeable broadcloth. These Coreans seem
to be very tail people, but this is due to
their enormously high silk hats, which are
not at all like the silk hats to which the
Caucasians are accustomed, but are loaf
shaped concerns with very high turban
brim.
In gorgeousness the Coreans fairly out
shine the Chinese diplomats who swarm
about Stewart castle in Dupont Circle and
during the long summer evenings sit and
smoke on the benches in the little Circle
park The Coreans all wear a peculiar wire
frame, which greatly increases the size Of
their bodies. Some of the shortest of them
when they wear this franc look like big
animated footballs. The frames are buckled
at the waist and move with the body, being
made of a rigid network that never loses
its position. Their attire is all of silk and
consists of brecchcs made Of immense guam
titles Of silk and hanging in very loose folds.
Over every thing they wear long flowing
silk gown, and these various gowns are

Corea is seeking relations with the United
States, DR.. Allen says, as a step towards
her own recognition and independence in
the world of nations, aud also as a matter
of protection against encroachments by
China on the one side and Russia on the
other.
The Corean people know more about the
United States than they do about any other
country on the globe. American mission
aries and American teachers have set in
operation a system of schools there which
the Government has encouraged, and the
Coreans gre very eager for every ad-
santiago which they can secure from, peo-
pie more advanced in civilization than their
own. Another reason why Corea looks to
the United States for assistance is that
nearly all the European powers are at
variance with regard to Corean territory,
and the United States is the only disin-
terested nation of any size who can be of
assistance to Corea. The Corean Govern
{nent has engaged tbe services OF three

A Kansas War.

LIBERAL, Kan, July 2S.-Joe Shorty livery stable keeper at Hugoton, gives the following particulars regarding the terrible encounter between the Hugoton and Woodsdale men, in Ste vens county, whereby no less than seven men lost their lives.
 Sam Robinson, city marshal of nugo- ton, and MT. Cook, of the same place, yesterday went to the Dudley ranch, near Pony creek, accompanied by their wives, to look up some cattle which they were trying to buy. While takiug dinner, Deputy Sheriff Shorty. a.Woods- dale man accompanied by five other Woodsdale men rode up to the party and asked Robinson to surrender, as he had a warrant for his arrest Robinson said he would go short dis tance from camp, leaving Cook and the ladies behind, and then give his enc mics a chance to take him. He did so and on reaching a convenient spot both parties lopend fire with the result that four Woodsdale men were slain. The others fled to strip of timber, and Robinson escaped without a scratch Cook hastened to Hugoton and gave the alarm, and soon an armed squad went to their assistance. Meeting lot of Woodsdale men an encounter took place in which three more persons were killed and a number wounded. According to the livery man Shorty, the whole county is virtually at war. John Cross, sheriff of Stevens county, was one of the men killed in the second fight. The names of the others killed could not be learned.

There has been and will con- tinue to be greater defection from the old party lines during the pres ent campaign than for years before.
 For the first time in several years, there is now direct issue between the par ties. While heretofore the presidential have been made on general issues, voters this year have protection to American industries and its attendant benefits to wage workers on one side. arrayed against free trade and low wages on the other. That there are republican free traders, no one doubts, but they constitute very small minority in the party. while the proportion of the demo cratic protectionists is very large. The wage worker will scarcely be more devoted to party for the name of is, rather than to his own interests It is because it is generally believed tha, this country is not yet prepared fer free trade, that the chances for Harrison and Morton carrying every nothern s's is exceedingly good.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Ohio republicansin Congressman Seney's district appear to be hopeful about defeating him for fourth term on the protection issue.
 The Buffalo Express gives this good advice To hesitating democrats Come early and avoid the rush-for Harrison and Morton.
 Governor Buckner, of Kentucky, is an aspirant for Senator Blackburn's seat, and IS reported to be taking a' tive steps to eralify Sis ambition.
 X canvass Of the Fifth ward in Chat tanooga by E. w. Mattson, of that city, shows that about 100 cut of 300 demo- crats there will vote for Harrison and Morton.
 If the democratic shouters once dem onstrate that the republican platform means free whisky, Harrison and Mor- on will carry every southern state.- Philadelphia Press.
 The London Saturday Review objects to the republican platform because it IS "ostentatiously patriotic" That is a fault which can be easily forgiven on this side of the water.-New Bedford Standard.
 An Oxford, Maine, correspondent of the Lewiston Journal finds fifteen Grand Army men in that town who have hitherto voted the democratic ticket who declared their purpose of voting for Harrison.

It alleged as fact, that before au-
 thorizing the commencement of suits,
 for the alleged cutting of timber on gov
 efnment land, the department at Wash
 ington, insisted on having the stumps of
 the trees which were cut into lumber,
 counted by the special agent.
 Now when it comes to getting
 on the hot trail of a land fraud,
 real or imaginary, or to writing a
 voluminous report, talking politics, or re-
 ligion or any and all kindred subjects,
 Colonel Bevans is a full six-mule team,
 in the point of amount of noise made.
 AS census enumerator of pine
 stumps. however he has proven an igno-
 minious failure, hence his withdpwal, by
 the department from the timber depart
 ment and his assignment to land busi-
 ness exclusively and more competent
 man put in his place as stump census marshall Nov 1t would be interesting to know just the exact number of stumps the Atlantic & Pacific railroad left on government land, as tell tales of their timber depredations or the proportion of
 D. NJ. Riordan and Ed E. Ayers stumps to the whole number of stumps. It would also be interesting to learn what ratio the stumps from which the lumber used in Fishers iron building bears to the whole number of stumps cut by w. /. Wilson & Go. The trial of these cases. which is set for next November. promises to be very stumpy affair. and the government special agent will feel as though he is "up stump" for want of proof to substantlate his charges. Since learning of this stump counting feat, we can better appreciate the remark of our contemporary few mornings since when it said the special agent was barking up the wrong stump" These emissaries of the democratic admins tration will hereafter be known as stump counters" instead of special tim. Der agents.

British American Protection.

The Engllshman's head is pretty level after all. It depends upon which side of the water he is and where his in terests are whether he is free trader or not. A member of parliament re- gently said that being a resident of England he was in favor of free trade, were he an American he would be a protectionist.
 The British-American association, of Troy, a. recert meeting, passed the following resolutions:
 Whereas, the republican platform adopted at the late convention at Chicago is worthy of the support of every American citizen who desires the welfare and prosperity of our common country therefore be it
 "Resolved, That Branch No. 3 of Troy of the British-American associa- lion of the state of New York. do hereby endorse said platform, believing it t, be best calculated to advance the true interests and prosperity of the ,natiOn.
 Resolved, That the members of this branch will use all honest endeavors to promote the success of the republican nominees, Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton at the coming national cleo. tion."
 The members of the association state that they believe the interests of Eng land to be intimately connected with success of the free trade movement. but. as American citizens. they believe il their duty to vote and work for Ameri can interests and protection.

Our contemporary endorses the ac-

Our contemporary endorses the ac-
 tion of Timber Agent Mason in bringing
 recent suits against our citizens for
 alleged cutting of timber on govern
 ment lands, and says: "Mr. Mason has,
 we are quite sure, done no more than
 his duty in this respect" If the duty of
 these special agents of the democratic ad-
 minis,ration is simply to harass the set-
 tiers, and to take from them the lit le
 accumulations which they have made by perseverance,, work and privation, then has MT. Mason done his duty. as it will cost the defendants in these timber cases several hundred dollars to defend themselves against the charges, just as it cost MT. Brown several hundred dollars to prevent having homestead entry cancelled after having lived on the land for nine years. Perhaps it is really the object of the administration to have the special agents annoy the people in every conceivable way. If so they are doing nobly. MT. Mason in his timber cutting suits is not one whit less excusable than Col. Bevans is in his land suits. Both are on par. The parties named in this mornings paper. as stated, cut timber for domestic purposes under the ruling of the department. if we are not giving them the privelege while other defendants cut their timber on railroad land. Suits of this same kind investigated by special agents have recently been tried in Colorado and in Fresno county, California, and in both instances they were decided against the government. The fact is every one knows there is no merit Tn the suit. They should never have been brought and having been brought they should now be dlamissed.

as there is no more need ot a land court In the two terrltories than there is for an electric light to be placed on the sun. If the territories do not furnish enough positions for hungry politicians of the east, congress might give Arizona an additional judge or give us a supreme court independent of the district courts. It is one of the great judicial farces of age. that three district judges should meet each year as a supreme judicial tribunal and gravely pass on their rul- ings as district judges. It places them Tn a ridiculous position. Give us a supreme court, which will be in fact a higher court, but don't monkey with the land court.

A DEMOCRATIC PROTECTIVE AR.
 cuN0EW1.

0OWeWUs
 Democratic papers while floundering around in the 'free trade sea-" which they persist in calling 'the gulf of tariff reform" occasionally give some goOd illus trations of the benefits of protection, although of course it is done uninten- tionally. Our contemporary this morn ing gives the following
 Arizona is in the protected zone and here are a few things H. P. has done for our workers. Twenty years ago printers were paid $I thousand ems i; they are now paid 50 cents per thous- and by this office and one CT two others in this territory. Twelve or fifteen years ago we paid So cents thousand and $45 a week to printers. We now pay $77 a week. Other offices pay from $as to SIS week. Carpenters used to receive $6 to. $7 and $S day: they now get $3.5o, or at the most, $4 Miners used to receive from $4 to $6 a day they get now from $7.s to $3.5o. Ranch hands used to receive $50 and more they now receive $50 to $35. Fine thing for Arizona, this protection of the rich and bringing in of 'pauper labor.'"
 If our contemporary had been seek ing for an argument in favA of protec- ton it could scarcely have stumbled on to one which better illustrated its advan- tages than the above. Twenty years ago Arizona was protected by its remote ness from civilization, and its Indian raids, against the cheaper labor of the east. When it vas almost inacces- sible, making as it were, an almost inde- pendent empire of itself wages were away up. From five to eight years later the barriers to freer commercial inter- course were somewhat removed and and wages took a tumble. With the building of railroads, opening up of still freer trade with the balance of the world and reducing the commodities of life still lower, the scale of wages has reduced to nearly level with the bal ance of the country.
 Tho experience of Arizona only serves to illustrate what the effect of free trade, under the guise of tariff reform, or un- der any other gulse or name it might be called, would have on the scale of wages generally in the country. There is no intelligent person in this country who does not know that the scale of wages for all classes of labor is higher in the United States than in any other country on the globe. If it were not so, why this rush of immigration from every quartt r of the world to the United States. if wages were higher in England ,as recently claimed by our contemporary, than they are in the United States, why do not American artisans and laborers emigrate thither. Take of the import duties and let our ports be opened to the cheaply manufactured goods of other countries, and it will soon be seen that its effect would be to reduce the price of wages and at the same time reduce the condi- tion of American workman to the plane of serfdom which he occupies in other free trade countries.
