COMING TO THEIR SENSES.

1t is encouraging to hear that stern
protection organ, the Philadelphia
Times. talk in the way it does about the
result of the recent election III the
Eleventh Michigan congressional dis
trict. The Times admits that it is a most
instructive lesson to the protectiOnistS
of the East, and that the Republican
party Will have 10 come Squarely into
line in favor of tariff revision or pre-
pare to surrender its supremacy in all
the Northwestern states. Four years
ago the Eleventh district was the Re
publican stronghold in Michigan, Civ
ing nearly 5000 Republican majority.
This overwhelming majority has been
entirely swept away by the Republican
party's persistence in the defense
Of needless taxation of the neceSSaries
of life and of the raw materials of our
varied industries. Some idea can be had
of the effect of President CLEvELAND's
tariff policy on the country when
strong protection organ like the Times,
published at the home of Mr.. RANDALL.
and Pig Iron KELLEY, speaks in this
way: The Republicans can no longer
be blind to the necessity of tariff reyis-
ion. limiting protection to full protec-
ton of the wages of labor and cheapen-
ing all the necessarieS of life and bust
ness TO aid orr industries; and we hope
they will accept the positive command
of the Michigan district and give the
country an honest tariff, in the interest
of labor and business. If they refuse,
the tariff issue will overwhelm Republi-
cansm in both New England and the
West
1t is only question of time when the
CLEVELAND tariff polIcy will go into
effect. If the Michigan election is not
a sufficient pointer for the Republican
members of congress to vote for tariff
reform bill, they will get one at the No
vember election that viii be strong
enough.

GREAT BRITAIN's GREED.

With characteristic rapacity, Great
Britain is trying to get foothold in
Venezuela, with view, no doubt, to the
ultimate occupation of the country.
That is a game which Great Britain
we'll understands how to play, and it is
one which, so far as this hemisphere is
concerned, the United States should
take a hand in checkmating,
There was never more praiSeworthy
policy enunciated by the government
than the MONROE doctrine, and though
it might have to be stretched little to
apply to the case Of Venezuela, there
ought not to be any hesitancy about
doing all the stretching necessary. In
any event, its Interpretation would not
be as strained as Great Britain'S
idea of her right to invade the
territory of our southern neighbOr.
The countries of Central and Southern
America should be taught to look nat
urally to this government for protection
from foreign aggression, and this coun-
try, even looking at the matter in the
selfish light of self-interest, ought to be
very ready to grant it.
Though blind Indifference has pre-
vented the United States from taking
advantage Of the commercial advantages
which the southern countries present
and from entering into those intimate
business relations which should nat
urally exist, the time will come when a
more enlightened policy will prevail,
and then the advantage of preventing
foreign interference, to say nothing OF
foreign occupation, will he manifest.

FAST TRANSPORTATION.

A company is being formed in Balti-
more 10 construct an electric railway
between that city and Chicago, which.
il it proves a success, will produce a
complete revolution in the express
transportation and mail service. The
proposed plan is to build a light eie-
waited railroad structure twenty feet
above ground. Oh which cars pointed at
both ends are TO be run. In the center
of the track is to be an upper rail. which
will guide the cars and prevent derail-
ment, as well as conduct the electric
current which is to form the
motive power. A system OF auto
matte brakes is to be provided,
by which the momentum of the cars
will be checked as they approach their
destination. 1t is claimed that by this
means packages can be carried from
Baltimore to Chicago in less than two
hours. 1t is only designed to carry ex-
press parcels and mail matter, but if the
experiment should prove success there
is no reason why it should not be util-
lied for carrying all kinds or freight,
and even passengers, provided travellers
would be willing to risk their necks at
that rate of speed.

NATURAL GAS HERE

The result of Mr. MOVES investiga-
tons, given to the chamber Of commerce
yesterday morning. demonstrates what
other investigators have maintained,
that not only are the conditions usually
found in territory producing natural gas
10 be found here, but the gas itself can
be collected in small quantities.
Certainly, with all this data, there is
evidence sufficient to warrant a most
vigorous prosecution of the search. 1t
is idle to dwell upon the manifold ben
efits that the disco 7ery of an inexhaust-
ible supply of natural gas would confer
upon ST. Paul. They are apparent to
every one. The one thing needful is to
go to work in earnest and not abandon
the search until the question is de-
termined one way or the other for all
time.
1t is true that two wells are now
drilling. but to the boring of each a
: limit has been set. If gas is not found
before that limit is reached the search
will be abandoned. That should not be
the case. Steps should be taken to con-
tinue the efforts when the private Ell
terprise, should it not be successful.

Claims That the Company Has
Thus Early Broken Its Pledge.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-MaSter
Workman Lewis. who is in charge OF
the Reading miners strike. and who Or
dered a resumption of work this morn
ing. has to-day received kilograms from
the master workmen at Shenandoah and
Middleport declaring that certain Of the
strikers are being Disseminated against
and are not allowed to return. Mr.
Lewis saws he will investigate the mat
ter and if the facts are rs stated, and he
has no doubt they are, the strike will
be resumed inside of three days, and
will include not only every miner in
the SchuylkiH region, but engineers,
with them. At Shenandoah there was
a general resumption of work at the
heading collieries here this morning.
Indications point, however, to the men
going III q strike again in day Or two,
the company having already,
as they claim, broken its avOw-
ment not to victimize the
men. This. they say, was done in
general discharge of engineers and
others who refused to hoist or handle
coal during the late effort to "Scab" the
collierieS. Five engineers, a boss
loader and two top men were discharged
at West Shenandoah mine, two en-
gineers at Shenandoah City, two each
at Turkey Run and Kohinoor, and
others are on the list. At Mahanoy
City over 100 men were discharged to-
day. and the feeling there is very in
tense, bordering on riot.

BUFFALO RAISING.

The buffalo is not going 10 die out if
AUSTIN CoRBIN can prevent it. He has
started buffalo stock farm OH Long
island, and has stocked it with three
bison bulls and three heifers, for which
he paid $500 apiece, and from which he
expects to raise large herd. Unless
he expects to supply Wild West shows
with these bushy-headed kings of the
prairieS, it is not probable that Mr.. Cor
BIN will find buffalo raising profitable
business. Buffalo beef will never be-
come popular until human teeth are
made OF stronger material than they
are now constructed; and as for their
hides, it will hardly pay to raise buffa-
loeS for the sole purpose of supplying
cabmen with fur overc0ats. 1t is with
sort of sentimental regret that we
realize that the American buffalo will
soon be extinct, yet we wouldn't advise
anybody, through mere sentiment, to
sink money in trying to keep this pecu-
liar breed of wild cattle alive. The
Indian and the buffalo have been very
lovely in their lives, and in their death
they will not be divided. They are
going together.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The committee
OF the senate, appointed to investigate
the methods and influences of the
various trusts" and similar matters. be-
gan its work here to-day, opening with
the sugar trust. Henry HaVemeyer. of
Havemeyer Il Elder, testified that when
the trust was formed each stakeholder
surrendered the stock held in each COM
pany and was given stock or certificates
III the combined companies in return.
The trustees of the trust are TheO-
dOre tlavemeyer (also PRESIDENT. II. o.
Hayemeyer, Jules ). SternSburg, Jules
JurgensOn, f. o. Madison, William Dix,
J. Z. Searles. Charles H, Zepp, John E.
|. Parsons, J. II. Thomas, c. o. Foster.
There was no written agreement as to
what should be done by the board of
management of the new organization
after the surrender of the stock. The
board has the right to place its officers
In any of the retinerIeS. The arrange
ment was made abont the 1St of last
Eecember, the most active men in
its contamination being John f. Par
sons and John r. Dos Passes. Witness.
after long verbal spar, acknowledged
that one refinery in st. Louis, two in
Louisiana, one in Boston, two in Phila-
delphia and two in San Francisco had
been forced into the pool, which now
controls $4,000 barrels day capacity.
The production OF sugar since Dee. 1,
1887, has decreased about one-fourth,
and the price has gone up. The North
River company has gone out Of business
entirely, but the board has taken its
stock. The amount of stock of the
combined companies for which certifi-
Gates have been issued was
s45,000,0OO. The board has decided
to close more retineries, those in Boston
being among the number. They will
get their share of the profits, as if ruiz
ming. Mr.. Havemeyer refused to pro-
duce copy of the Trust agreement.
Mr.. Parsons. counsel for Mr.. Have
meyer, and also a member of the board,
was next called TO the witness chair.
He also declined 10 produce the paper,
claiming lawyers privilege. Ad-
iourned until morning.

AKRON, o., Feb. 2O.-GeOrge Snyder
is bright, brisk young business man
of COshoctOn, O., and was at one time
deeply in love with young lady who
now resides here, and VINO is the daugh-
ter of Methodist minister of this CITY
named j. G. COnkle. Some days ago
Snyder induced Miss Conkle to take
buggy ride. He drove on and OH, and
despite the girls protests and her
pleadings to be taken home, Snyder
went on. He insisted Oh matri-
ters house could be reached,
but the girl stoutly refused. Finally
Kent was reached. and as the pair drove
through that town Miss Conllle
screamed. but failed to attract the
attention of anybody. Snyder then
headed for Ravenna. When near that
place Miss COnkle saw man standing
by the road and, acting quickly and
adfoitly. dropped her muff out of the
buggy. Snyder stopped, jumped out of
the buggy TO pick it up, but while he
was doing this, Miss COnkle also sprang
from the buggy, and ranuing up to the
stranger asked him to protect her, which
he did. and also accompanied her to the
residence of Rev. w. H. Locke, at Ra-
VIENNA, who listened to the girls story
and then purchased ticket for her and
sent her back to this city. where she ar
rived in terrible state of excitement.
The matter has caused much comment
and Snyder has wisely absented him
self. He was an entire stranger here.

THE PROPER VIEW.

Editor FRANK HATTeN, despite his
blindness Oh the tariff, seems to see
some things very clearly, and he GER
tainly expresses himself very clearly in
the columns of his bright little tariff Or
gan, the New York Press.
Among the things he sees clearly are
the following incontrOvertibie facts:
That there is at the present time no
more doubt that Mr.. CLEVELAND will
be nominated as the unanimous choice
OF the Democratic party at its national
convention than there was of the re-
nomination of LINCOLN in 1864 or
GRANT in 1872; that he has satisfied The
different elements of his party-and
Editor HATToN might have added the
different elements of the entire country
that he has unqueStionably, from a
Democratic standpoint, made a much
better president than would have been
possible for any other man under the
circumstances TO have done: that the
party machinery is as thoroughly welded
together as any seen in this country for
three years: and that it will be well for
Republicans TO begin to recognize these
facts.
All of which is very true. ssPraise
from Sir HUBERT is appreciation in
deed" and the recognition by promi-
nent Republican leader of the excellence
OF the present administration is none
fhe less gratifying because it is animated
by desire to inspire the Republicans
with the confidence which now they
Justly lack.
Editor HATroN is right in saying that
st will be well for Republicans to recog-
Aize the facts. however unpalatable.
which he presents to them, but he loses
sight of the fact that the most prominent
Republican of them all has recognized
i4cm. and great many with him.

than s50, 000,000, an amount equal in re-
ductlon to One-fourth in the export trade
OF the country. Many thousands of
acres of land had gone out of cultiya-
tlOn. and there had been a concurrent
decrease in cattle and sheep. An
other effect OF the depression
was an increase of the masses
OF unemployed. Reliable estimates
showed 100000 men idle owing
to paralysis of agriculture. while thosy
employed were forced to work at greatly
reduced wages. What could the GOV
eminent do to assist to better this state
OF affairs? He presumed it was not by
a return to protection. [Cries Of Hear,

terrible condition of agriculture and

Granting the sincerity of Mr.. BLAINE's
letter, he could not have given stronger
evidence than that very letter of his
recognition of the truths which the New
York champion of high tariff presents.
And the recognition which Mr.. BLAINE
displays is becoming every day more
widespread among his party.
Despite the most valiant efforts on the
part of Editor HATToN and other eX
ponents of the beauties of monopoly,
this very recognition which he points
out is sufficient of itself to preclude all
hope of Republican victory at the COM
ing presidential election.

CYCLONE LOCALITIES.

Cyclones, like billiards., are no re-
specterS of localities. 1t las been the
habit of Eastern journals to regard Mill
nesota and Dakota as the home of both
billiards and cyclones, and their appear
ance in other places as mere meteorologi-
cal eccentricities. Just as tine genuine
blizzard which recently ragged in the
East served to GiSabuse them of the one
impression, the destructive cyclone in
Illinois will remove the other.
AS matter of fact, the cyclone. as
Illinois knows to her sorrow, is as apt to
appear in one place as another. 1t is
only necessary for the proper conditions
of temperature and atmosphere to exist
and the cyclone follows.
No section of country can claim absO-
lutte immunity from them any more than
it can from stroke of lightning. The
Illinois cyclone is distinctive, in that it
occurred so early in the year, almost
two months earlier than the st. Cloud
and Sank Rapids catastrophe, which
would seem to indicate that neither can
any definite season be assigned to
which the cyclonic conditions are con-
fined.
Deplorable as the winds destructive
work was. it will at least serve to dem
onstrate that Minnesota, Iowa and
Dakota do not possess monopoly of
