A WORKINGMAN'S TARIFF.

What the workingman of this country
needs is a tariff which will cause more
goods to be made here and not measure
which begins by making over Sc, COG, 900,
or one sixth of all our dutiable imports
free.
The workingman Of this country needs
tariff framed by statesmen who VIII
say to him, you have labored faithfully
to perfect yourself in the manipulation
of worsted goods. and that industry, en-
blowing 10000 operatives, shall not be en-
tirely wiped out of this country on &C
count of an inequality of the tariff.
The workingman Of this country needs
a tariff framed by statesmen who haye
the courage to revise the tariff, not by
men who merely cut and slash the rates
of duty and place one sixth of the dutl-
able imports upon the free list. lie
needs a tariff that will protect labor and
reduce rather than increase the influx of
foreign goods made by foreign labor. he
needs a tariff framed by statesmen who
recognize the fact that tariff is not a tax
on the consumer Of domestic goods, but
a tax paid by foreigners for the privilege
eff selling their goods i'll the best and
most profitable market in the world.
And this is the kind of tariff we shall
have If Harrison and Morton are elected
and the house Of representatives is
made Republican.

sion of minority representation a large
number OF the towns have been classed
as divided. The returns from yesterdays
election are Of the most encouraging
character. clearly showing that the tide
Is running very strongly in favor Of the
Republican party. No losses are reported
anywhere, while there are numerous
gains of an important character. We
need only point to the returns from
NorwaIk, Waterbury, Meriden, i}gis-
tol and other towns to
prove that the drift is entirely
toward the Republican party. This Is
the more significant from the fact that
the day was a bad one for Republican
voters. a storming day always being re-
garded as more damaging 10 to the Re-
publicans than to tina Democrats.
Thus far in this campaign we have
had three state Acknowledgment Yer

come the little town elections III Con

the tendency this year is strongly il

end, on the platform OF pro
lection to American industries. and Eve

In his famous civil service reform
declaration a little more than three years
ago Mr.. Cleveland said that 1.-The in
fluence of federal officers for the pur-
pose of thwarting or controlling the
popular will is not to be tolerated" He
made show of sincerity in the declara-
ton for time. even going so far as to
dismiss one or two officials from the
public service for violating the decree.
But the party pressure became too great
in opposition to that doctrine. and while
il has not been formerly and officially
rescinded it has been permitted TO lapse
into obnoxious disuse until now the
entire machinery of the administration
from president down is responding to
the demands of the party managers fer
assistance of some sort in the campaign.
Those who can speak are on the stump
and those who can't are paying the
assessments laid upon them. 1t is speak,
shell out OF get out. However, just one
month from today the people OF the
country will silently vet forcefully
remind his inconsistency of his declara-
ton by adopting it as their own and
giving it emphasis through the ballot
box.

THERE ARE JUST ELEVEN.

The list of Republican candidates in
Kansas for the legislature, to be voted
for at the impending election, comprises
only sixty-eight bankers-thats ali, and
the platform of the party of the state
asks for a reduction Of interest
City Times.
The Commonwealth concluded that the
above lie had been circulated long
enough and Yesterday made a thorough
investigation to ascertain the exact facts.
All but three of the Republican nomi-
nees for the next state senate and all but
fifteen or twenty of the Republican NOM
inees for the next house of representa-
tives have been named. The last Bank
ers' Directory, dated July 81, 1888, gives
a complete list of all of the bankers in
Kansas. Of the total number of Repub-
lican candidates for the senate and house
the directory shows that but eleven are
engaged in the banking business, less
than one-sixth as much as stated.
There is no reason, o: course, why a
good citizen engaged in banking would
not make good senator or representa-
tive. That interest is not antagonistlc to
any other. in the first place, and, IN the
second place, it is an impugnment OF the
integrity of any man to assume that he
would represent only his own business
while serving the people as their repre-
sentative in the legislature.
OF the eleven of the 1S4 Republican
nominees for the next state senate and
house who are engaged in banking but
one is engaged solely in that business.
All of tho others have outside interests
which are larger, in most cases, than
this. Five are lawyers. One is mer-
chant. one is buyer of stock and grain
his principal business. Three are
farmers.
A great majority of the Republican
nominees for the next legislature are
farmers and stock-raisers. The next
legislature will be a granger legisla-
ture. majority of its members will be
practical, working farmers, just such a
legislature as the past SIX or eight have
been and Just such a one as the Kansas
City Times and other Democratic papers
regularly ridicule and abuse because
farmers constitute their principal mem
bership, clubbing them ''hayseeds,
''grangers, rural roosters, ''ignoram
uses etc, etc.-Commonwealth.

The Mormon question is one of the
chief issues in Idaho over the election of
a delegate to congress. The Republican
papers of that territory charge James II.
Hawley, the Democratic candidate for
delegate, with having made a bargain
with the Mormans by which he is to Sc
cure their votes. The rigid enforcement
of the test oath is demanded by the Re-
publicans, and they claim that if it be
enforced no one belonging to the Nor
mon organization could vote, since all
members of that body are either princi-
pals or accessories to the crime of polyg-

To make the triumph complete and
place the party in position to receive and
enjoy the full benefit of the victory that
is in store for the Republicans at the
conclusion of the pending contest, ma

tial that every nominee of the party be
elected In the maintenance of party
principle the success of the last candi-
date on the list is as important as the
first. 1t is not question of personal

cess. The candidates are all-every one
of them-worthy and well qualified and

The foregoing assertions simply betray
the ignorance of the party making
them. Surghum sugar is not only a
scientific but practical success, so
clearly demonstrated that the farmers Of
Kansas have long since been convinced,
as is evidenced by the hundreds of acres
of cane grown and now being delivered
by them to the several sugar works now
in successful operation through the
state. Sugar making gives promise of
becoming one of the leading industries
in Kansas, and if Texas has the enter
prise she is credited with it will not be
long before she catches on and adds
sugar to her list.

The little state of Delaware persists IN
holding on to the whipping post as a
means of punishment for certain mis-
demeanor5. A few days ago seventeen
petty crirninals-eleven colored and SIX
white-were publicly fogged in Will
mington. One Of the party took his
sixth fogging, and it is said that several
of them joked over the application OF
the lash when it was over, much as Top
sy did over Miss Phely's merciful castl-
cation compared to that she used to re-
ceive from her old masr. With such
practical application of that system OF
punishment as cited the argument In
favor of the whipping post-that it has
the effect of lettering certain classes OF
chronic criminals that cannot be reached
by any other system-falls to the ground.
The penalty as imposed in Delaware is
no punishment, and becomes mockery,
but the disgracefur exhibition of the
barbaric relic remains in defiance of pub
lie sentiment. Away with it.

II. .,a.r.noo Of Hon James G.

The appearance of Hon. James u.
Blaine in the west and the unbounded
enthusiasm which his grand utter
ances arouses among the people who

sorting to desperate means to counteract
the effects mentioned. Mr.. Thurman Is
to be dragged upon the stump again,
four appointments having been made
for him in Indiana. The Old Roman eX-
cused himself from writing a letter OF
acceptance upon the plea of pressing pro-
fessional engagements, but these are not
to stand in the way of the party de-
mands in this hour of its sore extremity.

all the more because his enforced efforts

EDISON ON YELLOW FEVER.

Edison, the great electrician and dis
coverer. has recently promulgated a
theory in regard 10 the cause or origin OF
yellow fever, and with it gives remedy,
or rather preventive which Is infinitely
better if effective. The theory is that
yellow fever microbes are parasites
which crawl along the ground. He re-
iects the theory that they are carried III
the air because, he says, they would at
once spread all over district, which Is
not the case.
1t seems that Edison began rs far back
as 1878 experimenting to find some chemi-
cal to destroy the Colorado beetles. lie
finally decided upon gasoline as the most
effective. and made q number OF expert
ments with it upon a variety of animal
cular insects and with perfect success.
BIr. Edison now holds that if his theory
as to the origin of the terrible yellow
plague is correct its spread may be
easily prevented. Put a Gordon OF gas
oHne around the infected place. Ii that
don't stop it nothing can he says. 1T
would cost $36 to sprinkle a street POO
feet long by sixty feet broad with gaso-
line. and that would kill everything in
the soil. Caustic soda should be used in
damp places. A square yard could be
covered with caustic soda to a depth OF
one-eighth on an inch for one and one
half cents, and no organism could pos
sibly survive it. In room heated to 81
degrees Fahrenheit a coat was dipped IN
rhicoline, and in fifteen minutes
the temperature of the coat fell to % de-
grees, and the coat was covered with
boar frost Now, as cold weather :
known effectually to destroy the fever
microbes, this would prove an effective
way of disinfecting clothing, as the
rhigoline will evaporate within half an
hour.
Mr. Edison is perfectly confident that
the means he suggests will prove effect
i've, bat he is having made powerful
microscope, by means of which he will
continue his experiments and investiga-
tons. Although not a physician Mr..
Edison is a scientific man, and his sug-
eestions will attract wide attention and
doubtless be put to the test. If his the
cries prove true there will be none to
question his right to place among the
greatest benefactors of the human race.
