PREPARATIONS for the Paris Exposi.
ton of 1889 are advancing rapidly.
The central portion of the Champ de
Mars, which is to be planted with elms
and surrounded by terraces, has al
ready received the trees. The new
tower has reached the height of 165
feet, but whether it will be carried
1000 feet high appears doubtful to
many. The exposition will celebrate
the destruction of the BastiIe, and its
sole aim is the introduction and en-
enlargement of industries.

seven rebel soldiers of the 157 Demo

helm in state affairs and managing the
affairs for the glory and the perpetuity
of this Union. See what we accomplish
by the united help of only three northern

The startling disclosures in regard to
the existence, extent, purpose and aims
of the National Order of Videttes." pub

tract the lively interest of every citizen
of Kansas.
Now that knowledge of this anarchist
ic organization has become public prop
erty the question Glow to stamp it out
appeals to every good citizen, the men
and women of all political parties, of the
churches, and Of every social organiZa-

1t cannot be doubted tina. the honest
men who have unwittingly been led into
the Union Labor party can do most in
wiping these .'Videttes" from Kansas
and clearing our states fair escutcheon
from their tarnish and our people and
institutions from their blight.
A man who upholds and votes for a
Union Labor candidate is putting him
self still further in the power of these
"Videttes."
The honest, well meaning men who
have been the dupes of this secret and
oath-bound crew of conspirators, in
joining the Union Labar party. can be of
the greatest influence. Their love of
fair play, of open and free discussion of
social and political questions, their love
of good government and their patriot
ism, as opposed to the dark methods and
fearful doctrines of anarchy, demand of
them that they assert their power and
influence in driving the ''Vidette" out of

The Schools of Greece.

The present king George /, came TO the
throne in 1868. Under his reign educational
affairs have moved ON faster than ever, until
today there are {, 100 elementary schools for
boys attended by x, 900 scholars, 27o schools
for girls, attended by 5000 scholars; there
are over 2 800 teachers, male and female
most Of them holding certificates from the
normal school, 331 secondary schools with

than 1900 pupils, IS gyunasiuIns with Bio

with "a instructors and 40 pupils, a large

INNIGRATION-ITS EFFECTS.

The following .extract from the New
York Tribune is commended to careful
perusal by free traders every where:
Since 1860 no less than 100000 Per
sons have arrived IN this country from
ahroad-more than 80 per cent Of the
entire population when the protective
tariff was adopted in 1850. Most Of these
immigrants are of the working age.
Hence it is safe to say that the number
of workers thus added has been fully
equal to half the working population OF
the country in 1850. This addition has
come besides all the natural growth OF
population. Is there any country on
earth which could have borne. within so
short period, an addition OF 1905, 90
persons. mostly workers, besides the
natural growth Of population, without a
resulting depression IN wages Yet IL
this country wages have not fallen, but
in spite Of this vast increase IN the sup

other country.

1FTHERE SHOULD BE A WAR.

Secretary Whitney has figured it out
to demonstration in his own mind that
there won't be any war with Great Brit
ain. and that if there should be a war
Great Britain would get the worst OF it..
We are a nation, of sixty millions, he
tells a New York Sun reporter, while
Great Britain and her colonies on this
continent can muster only forty-five mil
lions. Great Britain would have to do
all her fighting practically with her ma
w. She would aim to occupy harbors,
to levy contributions on seap cities,
70 blockade our coast. These she
conldn't do. the secretary say ecept
to a limited extent upon the out
break of hostilities. He quo eral
Newton's dictum that in TIL Top
ment of the modern TART of W en-
gineer ''has solved with ma. zeal
certainty the problem of closing oors
and rivers against hostile ships lie
says the locks of the canals giving egre5s
to the great lakes would be blown up
within a week after the declaration of
war. Moreover Great Britain wouldn't
have it all her own way on the sea-
not by long shot. True, we have no
fighting ships, as yet, but fighting ships
are not everything. Says the secretary
of the navy:
You. understand, suppose, that Great
Britain could make no conquest OF terri
tory by her navy. She could land no
force. Her aim would he to get into our
harbors and destroy property. But two
can play at that game. Our fast cruisers
would 90 at her commerce. Iha5 IS what
the conflict would resolve itself into on
our side. and here are some OF the facts
for thinking men. There Is anoat every
day in the year OF English commerce the
value of 100000, 900. Note that this ire
mendous value is ahoat daily. Great
Britian's food supply is on the water all
the time We will soon have dozen
cruisers faster than any of the English
ironclads and these cruisers VIII attack
the British wealth afloat, which would be
at the mercy of our commerce destroyers.
Twelve vessels OF the Baltimore
tvpa. such as we are now building, crulS-
ing across the lines of commerce on the
ocean, would be able to destroy more prop
erty in ninety days than the entire British
navy would be able to reach and destroy
upon our coasts
But there won't be any such doings,
Mr.. Whitney says, for two reasons. In
the first place, mo European power
would turn her back upon the others
over there, waiting to jump on her, and
90 into war with us, unless it were a
question of national honor" In the
it is a plain as the nose on Lord
face that the war would
mean the annexation Of Canada to the

MCKINLEY ON THE TARIFF.

Hon. William Mckinley, one of the
strongest defenders of the Republican
doctrine of protection in congress, is
likewise one Of the most powerful and
effective foes of the free trade idiosyn-
Grassy that has taken the stump during
the present campaign. He made a
speech in Cincinnati last Wednesday
which was master effort in point of
convincing argument. He discussed the
tariff from practical standpoint, using
pertinent facts familiar to all to illustrate
and emphasize his points said he:
There is not a single prodnct that
goes into the everyday uses of the fam
lily or that enters into the everyday uses
of the American people, that is not
cheaper to-day to the AmericanIpubiic,
made so by domestic production alone,
made possible by protective tariffs. The
clothes you wear upon your back, the
hat upon your head, the shoes upon your
feet, the dresses with which your wives
and children are clothed. are cheaper by
from 40 to 60 per cent, made
cheaper by American production, which
was alone possible by protective tariffs.
| wish Grover Cleveland had some of
the patriotism of George Washington.
You will remember that when the presi-
dent, after eight years service as presi-
dent, retired to his home on the Poto-
mac, when there was threatened war,
congress and old John Adams called him
back to resume command of the army,
and after this call was made a board of
officers was selected by the secretary of
war to agree upon the uniform which
should be worn by George Washington
as the new commander. When the gem
eral came to take the oath of office in
presence of the secretary and board
of officers, they handed him the
suit of clothes, and the quality and
texture and form of which had been
agreed upon by the department. He
looked that suit of clothes all over and
he said
Gentlemen, can this all be produced
in the United States:"
They said, mo, general: large por-
ten of this we import from France; all
this lace and gilt. Much of the texture
that has gone into this suit came from
other countries"
Then" said George Washington, 81
will have none of it. American cloth,
made of American wool in American
looms, by American workingmen, is
good enough for the commandment the

ers would have produced entirely differ
ent results, but for the upbuilding of new
industries under protection. Great
Britain has been losing wage earners by
emigration at the rate of quarter of a
million yearly. The loss of labor has
made it possible for manufacturing
wages there to advance 16 per cent in
twenty years. But this country has been
gaining wage earners by immigration at
the rate of half million yearly and yet
manufacturing wages here have adj
vanced 40 per cent in twenty years. Thus
it has come to pass that the wages in
manufacturing and mining labor aver
age 100 per cent higher than in Great
Britain. Such are the results of the pro-
tective poIicy which President Cleveland
and the advocates of the Mills bill are en-
deavoring to break down. 1t rests with
the wage earners themselves to decide
whether they shall succeed.

The publication of DR.. Mckenzie
book revives the quarrel among the doc
tors over the case of the late German
emperor and calls up anew long line of
notable cases in this country. among
them being those of Garfield. Grant and
Sheridan. In the latter case the fault of
the doctors did not happen TO be dis
sension amongst themselves so much as
in not giving the public the facts in their
labored bulletins, which, if they were
necessary or even proper. should have
told the truth. In these fights, such as
attended President Garfield's case and
Frederick's, what can justify the fierce
onslaught of the doctors upon each 9TH

desire for personal glory at the expense
Of others characters, and at the risk Of

A TELLING INDICTMENT.

What telling arraignment Of Cleve-
lands administration is contained in the
bill of particulars presented by Mr..
Blaine before the great audience IN
Chicago Saturday evening. Els mock
cry of OWL service reform; his cowardly
surrender of American rights in the
fishery fiasco; his cruel disregard for the
poor and needy soldiers who incurred
their distress and poverty in defense of
the nation; for his general and dangerous
use of the veto power without precedent
in the previous history of the country;
for unjustly and without precedent. and
for partisan reasons having practically
disfranchlsed seven hundred thousand
American citizens in tie territory of
Dakota: for breaking down the useful
policy of paying off the national debt as
rapidly as the surplus in the treasury
will allow. To this Indictment should
be added the deliberate and determined
attempt that has been made during the
past eight months to break down the
revenue system of the government that
has for quarter of a century stood as
bulwark of protection to the laboring
people Of this country against the over
crowded, pauperized laborers of outside
world. The summary is brief, but it
contains the issue as it is presented, and
is so comprehensive that it cannot be
misunderstood. Neither can the arraign-
ment or any part of it be explained away,
nor reasonable apology offered for it.
1t is a state of facts taken from the
records and must stand as part of the
history of the times. and it is for the
voters to approve Or condemn the record
at the polls.

What Proves It.

Erorrn thn Cnfiranf

From the Courant.
The Hartford Times wants to know
why we call the Mills bill a free trade
bill 1t is:
a. Because it was drawn up by free
tradere.
e. Because the free traders sup
port it.
g. Because the vast majority OF the
manufacturers, for whose benefit 1t Is
facetiously said to have been drawn, are
strongly opposed to it.
a. And because In its analysis II re-
veals the free trade purpose and In It's ap-
plication it would Kill out some Ameri-
can industries, which is the real aim Of
the British free traders.
These ought TO be reasons enough. but
we have more if wanted.
