THE death OF Lord Lucan, announced In
last evenings tolegrsphio news, recalls and
will perhaps revive the much discussed
quesiion OF his responsibility for tha!
terrible blunder, the charge Of the Light
Brigade, at Bslsklsvs. This brigade, mad o
up OF companies OF dragoonp, huzsArs and
lancers, WAS part OF the division com.
manded by Lord Lucan and was under the
immediate command OF the late Earl of
Cardigan, his brother-in.lRw.
The Russian army had made vigorous
attack upon the English position at
Bilsklava and had been repuls sec, bu,
occupied a position OF great strength. Lord
Lucan WAS seen to give a verbal order to
Captain Nolan, who at once rode OIL to the
light cavalry and spoke to Its commander,
who gave thefatsl order 10 charge Nolan
was killed In the first part OF the charge, and
Lucan always maintained tha: he had given
no such ORDER He himself displayed the
most reckless bravery In the battle, and on
many other occasions, and showed such
excellent military training that It hardly
seems probable be oould have made such a
blum der. Lord Lucan has another sort of
frame not 20 attractive. He inherited
Irish lands densely populated with a
tensntry hopeiessly poor, and he promptly
began wholesale evictions, turning the
estates into great dairy farm. This was
the best thing he could do from a cold
blooded business view OF tho matter, but II
was not tempered by mercy, and he did
not appear to care how much Misery the
process caused. His character appears 10

An Important Decision.

The important news Of the day is that
the United States supreme court has re-
vised the decision OF the lower court In
Massachusetts, in the Bell Telephone suit,
brought by Solicitor General jerks, to
declare the patent void on the ground
that it was obtained by fraud. The
lower court decided that the United
States could not itself sue to avoid the
deed on the ground Of fraud. This the
supreme court says Is an error, and it
seems at a loss 10 imagine any reason
why 1t should be SO. 1t declares that it
would be q very remarkable state Of
things II the government of all the peo
pie could not avoid fraud practiced
upon 1t, as anyone of its citizens could
do.
The fact about this Bell Telephone
business is, that the immense interests
concerned in the patent effected the
Judgment of the court below. 1t may
not have been corrupt, but Massachusetts
Is saturated with the Bell Telephone
stock, which is held there by a
great number Of people and the
atmosphere was wholly u Bell atmosphere
out of which an antagonistic decision
could readily be looked for. Now the
prospect is that sthe Bell patent will be
declared void, as the testimony is very
strong that it was fraudulently procured.
1t has been and is great incubus upon
the business Of the country, and it will
be great blessing to it to be rid Of the
tribute exacted by the monopoly.

4 The failure Of the Democratic national
S1cket 10 make the gains expected for 1t
- AL parties in the agricultural regions
q the Northwest, Is sought to be ex-
plained upon the ground that the farming
community was not readily reached by
ths teaching Of the campaign and that its
educational influences did not have time
% do their work. But the weak
ness Of this explanation il that it ignores
The fact upon which the idea was based
Of . Democratic gain in the agricultural
regions which was that they were al.
ready permeated with q feeling Of
hostility TO protection and that they
burned with o desire to reduce their
taxes by reducing the tariff.
The election seems to show clearly
enough that there is no particular hos
tillty to high tariff among the farmers,
Who are supposed to chiefly pay the piper
Tor the manufacturer tariff dance.
It may be very reasonably urged that
this Ii 90 because they do not know any
better and that IL they were as we'll in.
formed and as intelligent as they should
be, they would be eager for tariff reform
and reduction. With the understanding
that the agricultural community has
shown in this election that its ignorance
isso dense that il does not know on which
side its bread is buttered, we may admit
that these regions would have done better
for the Democratic ticket If the CAM
palgn had been longer and its education
had had sufficient time given IL to be in.
stilled into them. But how much time
this would have taken is the interesting
query; the Democratic teachers will
have time to study 1t out during the next
four years. Judge Thurman declares
that the people have decided in this elec.
tion that tariff is not tax; and GER
tainly the farmers, upon whom the tariff
burthen chiefly falls with the least of the
tariff benefit, have shown either that they
do not believe this, or that they like to
carry the burthen.
Doubtless they do not believe 1t. The
mistake the Democracy made was in
giving the farming community creditor
an intelligence they did not have. 1t
turns out that they are the people in real
need of missionary labor to show them
how they are aeeced by high protective
tariff. But the suggestion comes In right
Ghere, Ia the game worth the candle Is
1t worth while to save these people from
. loss that they enjoy experiencing ?
Need the Democratic farmers OF Lancas-
ter county bother because the Republican
farmers, who are two to their one, want
high prices for manufactures If they
can stand 1t, we can.

king OF Corea, and he has made q small
sort OF Sackville Ct himself by writing a

Ii Hung Chang, who It is now said has
demanded Of the king of Corea the dis.
missal OF Mr.. Denny. The Corean lega.
tion at Washington does not admit that
sais demand must be obeyed and there is
possibility that Corea may hang on TO
Denny and defy Ii Hung Chang and all
China. 1t looks very much like a de.
hoerate scheme to secure American sup,
port OF Corean claims TO independence,
for Denny's chief offense is that his ma.
mortal is scathing indictment of China
and claims that she really has no rights
at all In Corea.
There are several reasons for doubling
tnis, prominent among them the appoint
ment OF this American by the Chinese
viceroy and bis acceptance by the Corean
King. That in itself seems an admission
OF vassalage. Denny, by the way, is quite

we pass it on to you cheaper
than ever. The business pulse
of the world beats through the
store.
See it in plain Dress Stuffs
as well as anything. They are
kinds you know. Measure by
them. It's a good thing to
have such a measure in mind.
You'll trip on it in some stores,
maybe. They set traps by
marking under here and there
a common thing, and get even
on things you know little or
nothing of. But if you keep
your wits awake the mind
measure will serve many a
good turn and save you money.
Taking colors and qualities
together it's the fullest, best lot
of plain Dress Stuffs we ever
had. A glance will give you a
notion of the stock-half an
hour of the styles. Then the
picking is easy. Prices all hang
your way like ripe wheat heads.
