THIS is the London Times's latest common

THIS is the London Times's latest comment
on Mr.. Cleveland's message:
'.Mr. Cleveland's message to Congress at the
opening of the present session is likely to
reanimate the moribund parties of the United
States by raising new and vital issue. The
Presidents condemnation of the existing
tariff is not based theoretically on free-trade
grounds, but on the practical argument that
it is monstrous to extract from the pockets of
the community taxes to the amount of many
millions, not required for the ordinary bust
ness of government. Nevertheless, both pro-
tectionists and free-traders perceive that if
Mr.. Cleveland's policy be carried out great
advance will be made toward free trade On
this issue, it seems probable. parties will be
reconstructed and the presidential contest of
1883 decided 1t is still possible, however,
that Mr.. Cleveland may be forced to recede
from his position by the timidity and divisions
of his followers"
The British philistines understand the drift
and purpose of the Presidents arguments.
If they are followed, "a great advance will be
made toward free trade

BOB LINCOLN will not be loved by the
bloody-shirters when they read what he said
the other dav: II don't recollect ever having
heard a word spoken the subject of rebel
flags. l don't recollect having once seen them.
/ don't even know in whose charge they were.
If the flags were boxed, and anyone wants to
insinuate they were SO boxed for the purpose
of returning them to the Southern States, it
is all poppycock. The thing was never once
spoke of, nor even thought of, while was in
the department. We had more important
matters to think about when I was there than
the disposition that should be made of few
rotten old rebel flags. "-Louisville Courier
Journal.
Why not2 It was not until Demo-confed-
crate administration came into power that
there was either time or desire to think about
the rebel flags. When the confederates took
charge of the government, then there was
time to consider the policy of sending the,
'rags" back to "the Confederate States,' to be
wept over, and kissed, and made sacred relics
for the worship of the devotees and active ad-
vocates of the principles of the lost cause.
The ''bloody -shirters," socalled, have every
reason to think kindly of Secretary Lincolns
because he had more mighty matters to occu-
py his time and attention than sending back
to 'the Confederate States" old rebel flags.

CONTRARY to expectations there appears to
committee on elections in the Lowry White
contest. 1t is now reported that majority
of tho committee is strongly disposed to de-
eide against Captain White, the sitting mem
Der, and seating Lowry. The ground on
which it is intimated the committee may base
it's action is purely technical, entirely devoid
of justice and verging On the frivolous. The
point relates to Captain Whites citizenship,
the contestant alleging that he was never
naturalized and is, therefore, ineligible to
hold Office. Captain White is Scotchman
by birth and came to this country before the
war; served in the Union army, was honorably
discharged and shortly afterwards natur-
allied The fact of his naturalization is well
known and abundantly established by oral
testimony, but the record evidence is lacking.
There is no court record of the fact, nor Is
Captain White able to produce his papers.
The court record ought to have been made
and kept, but it was not, and Captain White
has lost his certificate. But he produced
credible witnesses who were present
when he took out his papers and who swore
to the fact. There is, therefore, no doubt
whatever as to the fact of his citizenship, the
only point being as to the record evidence.
The committee, it is said. is disposed to hold
that the fact of naturalization must be proved
by record evidence, and that no other is adj
missible. We have no hesitation in saying
that such decision would be scandalously
unjust Here is man who has been known
to all the citizens of Fort Wayne for twenty
years, served honorably in the Union army,
and can prove by competent and credible
witnesses that he was duly naturalized twenty
not enter the fact of record, and because he
himself has lost or mislaid his naturalization
paper he is to be deprived Of his citizenship
and turned out of an Office to which the peo-
pie elected him by over 2, 500 majority. How
many citizens of foreign birth who were
naturalized twenty years ago produce
their papers? How many couples married
twenty years ago can produce their
marriage certificates? If some lazy
or careless clerk neglected to make the
proper entry there may be record
of the transaction, and If the question
were raised, oral testimony would be the only
means of proving the fact Under such cir
cumstances, to hold parole evidence mad
INVISIBLE would be monstrous injustice. This
is precisely Captain Whites case, and yet, in
the face of the most conclusive and indisput-
able proof of his naturalization, it IS proposed
to decide against him on the ground that it is
not proved by record evidence. If "a majority
of the committee on elections so decide, it
will prove that they are willing to stick on
any technicality and perpetrate any injustice
to unseat Republican. Such decision
would add very materially to the Republican
majority in the State next year.

toned among the States, as the Constitu-
ton requires, according to their representation
in Congress, or, in other words, according to
their population. At first the government
attempted to collect the tax, but this was
found to be impracticable, and it was left to
the States. Most Of the States then in the
Union collected and paid their full proper
ton. Indlana's quota was 1904, S75, and if
the bill becomes law, as it is likely to, this

The new National Republican Club League,
of New York. has received letter from MIR.
NJ H. Matthews, chairman of Republican
club at Savannah, Ca, in which. discussing
South, he says:
.'This will be the beginning of a new era in
the political complexion of Georgia. What
the South deplorably needs is to hear the
tariff question from the pure Republican stand
point They hear and read only free trade
doctrines, as put from the Democratic stand
point We believe the result of such a meet
ing will not only tend toward bringing the
party back into power, but will 60 far towards
converting the young white men to the prac-
ticableness of the policies of the Republican
party, and convincing them of the impracti-
cableness of the policies of the Democrats.
The younger portion of the whites in the
Democratic party because there is no one at
any time in their hearing declaring the bene-
fits Of the Republican party"
There is lots of sense in this. The new
generation of voters in the South cannot be
as welded to Bourbon Democracy as their
of things they must be comparatively acces-
sible to arguments showing that Republican
ism is synonymous with progress. The fact
is, next to slavery, Bourbon Democracy has
been the greatest curse of the South, and no
doubt many of the younger men of that Sec
ton are beginning to realize it.

SAID Mr.. Cleveland, in his letter to the
Civil-servce Reform League, before he be-
came President:
There is a class of government positions
which are not within the letter of the civil
service statute, but which are SO disconnected
with the policy of an administration that the
removal therefrom of present incumbents, in
my opinion, should not be made during the
term for which they were appointed solely on
partisan grounds and for the purpose of
putting in their places those who are in polit-
.ical accord with the appointing power"

the changes in every department of the civil

Cleveland what 'class of government posi-

THE President of the United States repeats
the stale falsehood that duties are collected on
about 4, 900 articles. The report of commerce
and navigation for 1886 shows that the ar
ticles upon which duties were collected dur

one-fourth of the number claimed. But the
old howl will still go on in the mouths of the
free-traders, who never stop at such small
matters as facts and experience in the
propaganda of their beautiful theories.
