A HAZARDOUS UNDERTAKING.
What an Englishman Did for the Re-
publican Party.


DENVER, Col, Aug 2O.-Probably no
other political insignia, Democratic or Re-
publican, floats from such an eminence as
does a Harrison and Morton flag which
was placed on top of Currecanti Needle.
The needle, by the way, is one Of the OBJ
jects OF interest visited by tourists to Col
orado. 1t stands in the heart OF Black
Canon, on the Gunnison, rising abruptly
for nearly 1000 feet. At its base the Gun
nison river rushes, while opposite the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad pursues its
winding course towards the Pacific coast.
The idea OF placing flag on such an emil
nence was projected by Mrs. A. G. Fay, Of
Currecanti. She confided her plan to a
gang OF section men, one of whom, an
English sailor, offered to undertake the
hazardous ascent. The first time he failed,
falling nearly fifty feet, but fortunately
alighting in the Gunnison river, saving his
life but losing the flag. Procuring Sec
ond one, he tried again, and after two
hours hard labor reached the summit Of
abe needle. Here the flag was placed.
The needle is one OF the highest mountain
Gus projections in Colorado, and at one
place rises perpondicularly for forty feet
The Englshman surmounted this place by
hauling himself by main force over the
notchos made in the mountain. The feat
is regarded as a most wonderful one.

our democratic friends have for de-

gratifying results flowing from the
meagre opportunities to get in their
work at the Legislative session of
1882. How they left the Republican

and how they created additional

that with all the array of great ability
and long experience in dealing with
fiscal and financial questions that
there is on the Republican side of
the Senate, an attempt should be
made to show that a reduction of the
surplus and reform of the tariff could
be achieved without injuriously afs
fecting the protected labor and capt.
tai of the country. The Republican
Senators, accustomed to positive and
courageous action on all questions,
and believing that they could render
a service to the country by the pre-
sentation of practical scheme of
tariff reduction and refoFui, have
performed their task with patriotic
industry, with admirable sagacity
and with great success, Senator Alli-'
son performing the most important
share of the work.
The results of this labor are en-
bodied in the Senate Tariff bill, AS
to its general features the most re-
markable compliments that haYe
been paid to it are those that are rem
dered by the Washington correspon-
dent of the HerDld, who is the most
ardent of free traders and the most
malignant enemy of Protection. Yet
he knows skifully dra wn bill when
he sees it, and he says of the Senate
Tariff bill that it "has three merits.
1t is convenient in arrangement and
precise in terms; it makes reduction
in the revenue which can for the
most part be exactly calculated, and
it has valuable administrative feat
ures. In its classiGeatiOns and def
nitions it approaches what its franz
ers design it to be-a model High
Tariff bill"
The Herald correspondent adds
"The bill has another merit in Re-
publican eyes. Most of its tariff feat
ures, except on sugar, conform to the
demand of the Chicago platform for
such revision of the tariff laws as
will tend to check imports of such
articles as are produced by our own
people,"
From a Republican standpoint we
could desire no more valuable or con-
elusive testimony, from such an en-
envy of Republicanism, than is thus
paid by most enthusiastic supporter
of free trade, as embodied in the Mills
bill. The Republican Senators have
yielded no portion of the party faith
as to protection. in making the tariff
bill that is to be debated next week.
The Republican tariff bill will REIN
force the Republican arguments that
have engaged the attention of the
people and will still more sharply de-
fine the Republican campaign policy.

mine coal are one and the same
thing, why is there thirty cent duty
on one and a seyenty-fiYe duty on
the other ?
There is no likelihood of any tariff
bill being passed this year, and still
less likelihood of anything injurious
to the mining interests of this county
being placed in it, with Mr.. Nc.
Comas on the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who if he was able to prevent
coal from being put on the free list by
the Democratic majority of that
committee would certainly he able
to modify a bill originating with his
own party associations. And even
if culm should be admitted free there
would be no danger TO this region
from it than from irGeanthracite, be-
cause it could not be a competitor.
This is well-knoWn to the operators
of this region, one of the best inform
ed of whom wrote to us yesterday "a
follows: Answering your inquiry
concerning coal slack or culm being
on the free list in the Senate Tariff
Bill, I beg to say that in my judg-
ment, it will not interfere with the
sale of single tor of our coal. X \ \
In South Wales it is utilized and
made very good substitute for fuel
~ being mixed with clay and made
INTO the shape of bakers loaves." 1t
is very apparent that our coal field
would have little to fear from such a
rival, even if it were admitted free

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


(From our Regular Correspondent1
WASHINGTON, Oct. Sth, 1885,
Senator Allison, in accordance with a
previous announcement, called up to-
day in the Senate the tariff bill re-
ported last week as substitute for
the Mills bill, This action opens the
tariff fight in the Senate. How long
it will continue is matter of cOniec-
ture, but that it cannot he settled be-
fore election is now absolutely GER
tain therefore, | am inclined to
think that Congress will take recess
about the Goth or 25th of this month
until after the election. Should this
be done, we shall probably have the
tariff battle raging all winter. A
little ripple was created on the sur
face Of the political lake Saturday by
report that Cleveland intended
writing a message urging the prompt
passage of the Senate tariff bill. 1t
did not last long, however, because a
praminent Democrat stated that
Cleveland had told him in the most
positive language that he would sign
no tariff bill that did not put wool on
the free list. Senator Sherman thinks
that the Senate tariff bill is one of the
most perfect revenue measures ever
perfected. 1t reduces our income
nearly 75,00O,000 and does not strike
down a single American industry,
thereby differing very widely from
the trade Mills bill.
Democrats here are worrying a
great deal over the rumors that are
flying around as to why the men,
bers of the National Democratic COM
mittee have been called upon to at
tend special meeting at New York
Wednesday. The rumor which gain
ed the most credence says that the
Democratic canvass of the voters of
New York, just completed shows a
plurality for Harrison and Morton of
about $4,000, and that this meeting
is called to decide upon what to do
about 1t whether to throw up the
sponge or continue the fight,
Senators HawIey and Chandler be-
lieve that Cleveland is liable to fine
and Imprisonment, under the act of
1888, for having made a campaign
contribution, and Senator Chandler
has offered a resolution in the Senate
directing the Attorney General to
report to the Senate whether he
knows of any violations of the Civil
Service Act of 1888 and if so, what,
if any, steps have been taken to pros
ecute the guilty party or parties.
G. A. r. men here are indignant
at their Philadelphia brethren, who
marched in a procession at Rich
mond Virginia, in which the Con-
federate flag was carried.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-10-13

The very successful meetings
throughout the county, the attend
ance, the interest and enthusiasm
manifested. are precursors of a splen-
did result all along the line in the
old Sixth District in November.
With splendid leader, magnetic
and popular. with record in Con-
gress national in its character, and
with an united constituency as a
solid phalanx behind him, success is
assured. The only thing now feared
Is that the election of McComas is
taken as foregone conclusion, and
therefore no necessity of going to the
polls. Now this is just what our
Democratic friends are hoping and
praying for. First for bad day,
snow or rain, and careIessness, then
by use of money get up still hunt
and bring out their forces quietly,
and thus overcome in part or alto
gether our majority. Do not let it
be said any longer of the ReDubli-
cans of Garrett county that they are
fair weather voters.
