ioesl mohopoiies ought DOT to take uk
tho time Of tho Committee on Manufac-
lures to the exclusion of the more impor.
tant inquiry about Trusts or pools built
up under the shelter OF the tariff and de-
pending upon tariff rates.
The part that Congress has In 1t Is
where the tariff contributes to fostering
deal of the market rs for instance
The tariff rates practically prohibit the
importation Of refined sugar The law
really says to the people of the country
that they must look to the Trusts fac
tories for sugar A reduction OF only
those dulles which are imposed on the
raw sugar which the Trust imports and
re6nes would not, probably, reduc, the
cost OF the refined product; but reduc
ton of the rates on refined sugar would
compel the Trust to submit to competi-
ton, and the people might escape from
its exactions.

Tho Rats % Paris.

There are two species OF rats In Paris:
A black sort which infests garrets ana o."
houses and gray kind that Is found II
cellars and swarms in all the sewers. ms
sewer kind is the most voracious and dah
cerous. and its ravages cost the city
large sum annually. Wherever there IS
underground shelter there is n family OF
these rats ard they multiply with aston
ishing rapidity. Cellars, sewers, cata-
combs are their abodes; they dig passage
WAYS through thick walls, undermine
foundations and do a great deal OF dam
age. Many attempts have been made 10
exterminate them in the sewers but al
WAYS without success Poisons or an
kinds PHOSPHORUS, arsenic, prusslc acld
and strychnine, have been set Tor them out
they won't touch the bait One inventor
Thought he had hit on the very thing when
ne proposed to fry pieces of sponge IN lara
and scatter them about, under the eA-
nectation that the rats would eat them
and that the expansion of the sponges IN
their stomachs would prove fatal his
theory was all right except on one point
the rats declined To eat the pieces OF
srunCe. As for traps they would perhaps
answer il it were possible to set enough TO
catch all the rats in the sewers without
bankrupting the city in their purchase.
The plan which works the best is 10
hunt the pests with dogs trained for rat
killing Every now and then gangs OF
men go down into the sewers, and by fol
lowing several converging galleries man
age to drive whole armies Of rats toward
a single point, where these dogs are let
loose and great slaughter follows. Tho
men who keep these rat dogs are paid one
cent for every rodent destroyed. Another
class of rat catchcrs operate on the streets
after nightfall, but their aim IS TO capture
the animal alive, So rs 10 sell 1t 10 Tue
owners of terriers. These fellows receive
ten cents a dozen for live rats, and arc
permitted 10 keep the dead bodies, Which
have q market value of from three to four
cents. the skins being excellent for Kid
gloves. while the bones can be made mp
into toothpicbs and ear cleaners -Parls

Quite new and very effective is tortoise

THE PARDONING PREROGATIyE.

The New York journal Of Commerce
discusses the pardoning power that gives
the Governors Of States so much diff
Guilty.
But as able as that authority is it fails
to see the point in all this business that
should take sentimentality entirely out
of it and leave the criminal just where
the law put him.
No less a person than Mr.. Jefferson
said that the Governor Of a State had no
authority to pardon criminal or com
mute a sentence, unless something was
presented that had not appeared in the
court that tried and condemned him. In
the meantime says the J0urRal, the gen.
eral public rarely interferes to demand
the fulfllment of the penalty of the VIC
lated law. 1t is assumed-too confident
", often-that the Governor will do his
simple duty and not cheat the gallows Of
its righ,ful prey. After man has been
tried, found guilty and sentenced to
death there ia prevalent aversion to
clamoring for his blood.
A jury is supposed to represent all
the humanity, mercy, and feeling that
temper stern justice with moderation,
and, after they have decided, it is very
serious thing for Governor to consider
the case and give it personal trial by his
own political feelings as often occurs. The
Governor has, in fact, nothing TO do with
il unless under such circumstances as we
have cited, or when the jury petition him
to consider the case for some reason that
may come within the pardoning preroga-
tive, if the jury has been influenced by a
technically Of law, or if there is some
new evidence that was not before the
court

The probability of the Richmond
Locomotive Works getting big Govern
ment contract is thing that affects the
whole South, as it opens the gate of the
South to what it is entitled TO. 1t is not
the Richmond Locomotive Works or its
enterprise which Mr.. Trigg represents,
but it is the grant of a liberal recogni-
ton of the manufacturing capacity of the
South to do in industrial skill just what
any other State or any other country can
do. The South has been an agricultural
community under social conditions that
separated il from the modern mercantile
civilization, but now we are abreast OF
the times in industry and capacity, and
the Government owes it to the first State
of the South to show that the Southern
States shall have an even chance in com
petition for Government contracts. But
the duty of the Democratic Congress and
the Administration is to show to foreign
countries also that the South can do its
part in the great line of manufacturing
enterprise.

ORR GREAT POLICY.
duty.


Some of the New York papers are
quick to see the DRIFT of popular sen'i
ment when Bliss the boss and other Re
publiean leaders seem TO be drawing out
of the fight, as if they could not see
where there was any chance of victory.
1t cannot be denied that the Republi-
can party has nothing but the old issues,
on which they suffered disastrous de-
feat in great political battle, while the
Democrats have the new issues and a
splendid record, with nothing to indicate
failure except their own lack of nerve
and sense. There never has been so great
an opportunity as the Democratic leaders
have-to merely lay down the plan of re-
form so plainly that the people can see it
ard understand it, The truth is that the
age is so full of thought and action that
the politicians are not mp TO the spirit of
the time
The very men who lead the majority
in the House of Representatives are cogi-
tating on some plan of log rolling the
tariff reform to suit National Conven-
ton and demagogue canvass while the
active thought Of the people demands a
practical move towards breaking up
the great fabric of corruption and fraud
beginning with the Protection of monop-
oily and ending with the obliteration of
the Infamous system of manipulating the
market with trust combine"
The present aspect of affairs is per
feet illustration of the Republican party's
policy. They have given corporations
so much power that only Mr.. Cleveland's
courage and sense could stop the gigantic
steals of public lands by the Pacific rail
way companies; they arranged the war
taxes so "a to increase them in times of
peace, and then proposed to put certain
Southern States under Federal super
vision by election supervisors, which they
never did when they had all their power.
One Of the other forcible pranks of the
patriotic Republicans headed by the
great "Tattooed Man" is to have navy,
and then Blaine's partner, Senator Bill
Chandler, actually had the impudence to
move for an investigation of the Navy
Department, which he himself, as Secre-
tary of the Navy, had prostituted to every
job that promised to pan out any profit
for him personally, and per cent. for
the party.
Now, if some of the New York local
leaders pull out from such concern as
the Republican party and decline to place
their hopes on it any longer these be
sensible rogues who do ii.
We see only one single point of sensa-
ton fOr the Republican party, and that
is what we pointed out some time ago,
viz Colonel A. A. Jones EXODUS of
colored people from the South. There is
in that way by which gullible North
ern people may be mulcted to the amount
of millions, which will be used by the Re
publican party not for EXODUS, which
is all bosh, but for campaign purposes.
The Republicans have no principles,
but they still have the cunning and this
is the smartest trick they have invented
to make up for the lost patronage and
plumber of the late G.. O. =.
