ARTFUL DODGING.
From the Index Appeal.

\ clean campaign should also be
sincere aud truthful campaign,
devoid Of all deception and devot-
ed to the enlightenment of voters
and to an encouragement of them
TO vote their real sentiments on
the great issues of the day. No
mere party advantage should fur
nish occasion for paltering with
the truth, or for misleading
people who are eager to learn the
truth. Nevertheless, there is now
going on in this very campaign of
high moral professions an amount
of evasion and artful lodging that
Is nothing less than downright by
pOcricy. If one listens to the tar
III. refOrmers, as they call them
selves, he may be inddced to be-
lieve that there is no such thing as
free trade. Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.
Waterson, MIR. Carlisle and pretty
much all the leaders protest that
they are the most patriotic OF pro
tectionists, or, at least, they are TAI
above being free traders The Mills
bill, they say, is not a free trade
measure because, fOrsoOth, it i'm
poses a tax on the importation of
considerable number of articles
Of course, they are not free traders
i'm the sense that every article o
commerce is admitted free of duty
In this respect neither is England
for free trade, nor is this the gener
al acceptatioD of the term, as these
revenue refOrmers very we'll know
The character of a free trade tariff
measure is determined by the nun
Der and character of the articles
placed Oh the free list. The meas
ure which admits free of duty the
largest number of articles that are
produced in this country and places
a tax on the largest number o.

situation calls for further expression from
him Just at this time when there Is talk
that the convention will get In deadlock
and the solution will be call on him?
s'No, don't think 80. No person can
even approximate what this convention
will do. The great majority OF the dele
gates will come here unpledged, and they
may be able, after conferring among them
selves, to nominate candidate at the very
outset. So the talk of what should be
done in the event of q dead lock need not
be discussed"
"Just one question, Mr.. Jones. These
same rumors have it that Mr.. Blaine would
not accept the nomination though 1t were
rendered to him unanimously, and has 80
stated to you. Has he ever given any such
intimation?"
"Most emphatically not"
This closed the interview. 1t had made
two points measureably clear, that new
letter from Blaine was not forthcoming and
that in the contingency of the convention
tende. ing him q nomination the delegates
would have to look beyond Chairman
Jones to learn the result.
Chairman Jones said that he would not
accept the Craftsmanship of the National
Committee again. He intimated that Sem
stor Quay, OF Pennsylvania, might be his
successor, and that Chairman Cooper OF
the Pennsylvania State Committee, was
also possibility.
The most remarkable feature OF the
situation all day and throughout the even
ing was the strong undercurrent for Blaine.
No matter that he had written two letters
declining to be candidate under any cir-
cumstanees and no matter even if Chair
man Jones had third epistle.

Rut He Blushes when the Subject Is MeD-

CHICAGO, June 13.-By long odds the
central event among the crowds Of politi-
clans to-day was the arrival of the noted
recipient Of Blaine's letter from Florence,
Chairman B. F. Jones, of the National Re-
publican Committee. Rnmors were thick
that the big chairman was the bearer of
another epistle from the man over the
water. This letter, the reports bad it,
would prove n greater surprise
and was destined to become even more eel
ebrated than the famous manuscript with
the Florence date The reason given was
that the new missive told the secret so
many people have tried in vain to guess
who, himself being barred, Mr.. Blaine
preferred a. the Republican presidential
nominee. Right in the exact spot where
the candidate is to be named, the floor OF
convention hall, was the place where Mr.
Jones was found by an Associated Press
reporter and consented to be interviewed:
Mr.. Jones' bluff countenance showed
heightened color and his eyes frightened
Immediately at the mention OF another
letter from Blaine.
The rumors in circulation were told to
the Chairman iu detail. Then the ques-
ton was plumply put:
''Mr. Jones, have you such letter."
The answer was DAT and to the point:
''No, sir; candidly have not No COM
munication Of political kind has been
received by me from Mr.. Blaine since the
letter dated Florence"
'sThen you have received other letters
from him, have You, but not on politics."
Mr. Jones hesitated. "Yes," he re-
plied; 81 have heard from him, bus there
was no word except what was wholly
personal"
"As you have no letter such as described,
Mr.. Jones, denial of the statement that
Mr.. Blaine has indicated to You his choice
would be superfluous Of course"

CHICAGO, June 13.-Dispatches from

the locus.s which are making their appear
ance in such great numbers are not molest-

The only damage done is the killing OF
young and tender trees, many OF which die
from the incisions made by the insects in
depositing their eggs.

cultural Society says he has received infor-
nation from Muscatine that there are mil
lions of locusts in that county, but no es-

class that come around frequently, seven
