No Free Trade Crusade.

MIR Nathaniel Mckay, of New York. has
recently contributed some very remarkable
articles TO the republican organs, showing,
according to his statements the pitiable
! condition of workingmen in free trade
England." Mr.. McKay's articles are, of
course, from the high protection standpoint,
and they are intended to show to what COL
dition, in his opinion, the workingmen of
this country would be reduced if we should
edopt free trade. They are intended for
campaign documents
! Mr.. Mckay, however, makes the very
great mistake of supposing that any poll
tical party is trying to bring about free
trade in this country. There are men here
and there who advocate free trade, aud all
| of them are not in the Democratic party;
nor is their number large; but the move
ment in that direction, if it is entitled to
the dignity of being called a move
ment, will have no bearing on
the tariff policy of the country.
Neither party wants free trade. The
tariff reduction of about per cent. pro-
posed by the Mills bill is very far from
being free trade. and it seems to meet with
he approval of good many republicans.
Mr.. McKay's assertion. therefore, that the
democrats would establish free trade aud
inJure the workingmen is pure drivel. The
democrats have very lively appreciation
OF their duty to the workingmen.
Since DIR. McKay's articles appeared, it
has come to light that President Cleveland,
for good and sufficient reasons, vetoed bill
for Mr.. McKay's relief some time ago.
Does this explain why he is attempting to
inluie the Presidents chances of election by
deliberately assuming positions with rega.'d
to the Mills bill which he must know are
not tenable, and by making statements with
regard to democ attic intentions which he
must know will not bear investigation? If
1t does, it places Mr.. Mckay in very I'M
enviable light before the nnhlic

There is a new dog Oh the horizon, and from

IS not so much novelty as a revival. He has
been rediscovered by the accident of the exhi-
btion at Brussels. Dogs were to be an attrac-
ton there, and the great desideratum was to be
patriotic and, if possible, local. OF course, the
milk-carrying dogs would be collected in great
force, and it seemed as if Flanders would have
little else in the canine world to rely upon.
Then it was remembered that generations ago,
when railways were scarce in the land, there
was little black terrier called a spitz, largely
used on the canal boats that then carried on the
commerce, and indeed. the traffic of the low
countries. His chief quaties-almost legendary
We're that he was death on rats and unap-
proachabe as a watch dog. He was clever
little fellow, too, vivacious and attached. But
railways had driven him out.
An attempt was made to procure some for
the show. 1t proved that there was plenty of
life in the old breed still There are yet barges
and canal boats in Holland, and they had spitz

gether. The spitz became popular, and we

Mr.. Kilgore, of Texas.

BY reason of his position of acting chair
man of the House committee on enrolled
bills, Mir Kilgore, of Texas, has recently
become quite prominent figure before the
country. When the Chinese exclusion bill
h I'd been passed by both branches of CON
gress, and the enrolment committee had
gotten through with it, it was Mr.. Kilgores
duty to deliver it to the President. The usual
time consumed in getting enrolled bills to
the President Is from three to ten days, and
! Mr.. Kilgore saw no reason why he should
| go to the white house with the Chinese ex-
clusion bill any sooner than with any other.
| He objected very seriously to rushing in
that direction Immediately, and as if he
were running a foot race with some one of
the sporting members Such action did
not comport With his idea of congressional
dignity. Besides Texas was not urging
him to take the bill to the President. Texas
can get along even if the Chinese are not
excluded from this country. So Mr.. Kill
gore decided to wait till it was convenient
for him TO hand in the bill His decision
caused the California members much I'M
easineSs, and they urged him to go
without a minutes delay They seemed
to think that if he did not, the entire popu
lation of China would be dumped into San
Francisco before the bill became law. Mr..
Kilgore smiled a smile which has passed
into history, and said he would do his duty.
He took the bill to the President two days
af0er it had been enrolled, and, strange to
relate, California was not ruined in the,
meant me.
But Mr.. Kilgore is not known only for
his action in this matter. He seems to have
taken the place of Mr.. Holman,
of Indiana, in the House, and to
have become the great objector of that
body. There is hardly anything worth
Directing to but what Mr.. Kilgore objects
to it. He objects to a pension for Mrs.
Sheridan and to an appropriation for the
yellow fever sufferers with equal ability
and JUNCTION, and probably his name appears
in the Congressional Record as often as
that of anybody else, although he very
rarely, if ever, makes a speech. Evidently
he thinks tat his constituents sent him to
congress to object, and he is doing their
will. As he was renominated by acclama-
ton the other day, it would seem that his
district regards his services as being in the
highest degree satisfactory.
Altogether, Mr.. Kilgore has become one
of the most unique studies in modern poll
tics. He thinks he has sphere, and he is
filing it to the best of his ability. No
doubt some Of his objections are well made,
and it may be that Texas has done the
country good turn by renominating him.

Proctor's Last Essays.

series of popular scientific articles. by
the late Prof. Richard A. Proctor, the emf
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the MORNING NEWS or the dates announced
below.
The article in this series upon "Plaguas
and Pestilence" was received only the week
before the authors death, and was written
apropos of the yellow fever in Florida.
Indeed. the whole series is Prof. Proctor's
last popular scientific work for newspaper
publication.
They are expected to attract great atten-
ton throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable addition to scientific lore
which no one can well afford to lose. They
were obtainable by the MORNING NEWS
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast.
These articles, six in number, are upon
the following topics:

The President Is a brave MAN. and in

The President is brave man, and in no
way is his bravery more strikingly mani
tested than in his promptness in taking the
back track when he discovers that he is in
the wrong. Some time ago he sent to the
Senate the appointment of John Fitzpatrick
as United States marshal for the eastern
district of Louisiana. After he had done
SO, it was represented to him that fitzpatrick
was not the right sort of man for the posi-
ton. He gave the matter close att milton,
and when convinced that the appointment
was not good one, he withdrew Mr.. F.tz-
patrick's name from consideration by the
Senate. 1t requires an honest as well as n
brave man to acknowledge mistake and
try to remedy it.

Teacher of Agriculture Wanted.

Queensland, British colony in Australia,
wants an instructor in agriculture She
wants him to be an American, and TO teach
the American system of agriculture. The
colonial secretary has written to Commits
sioner Colman, at Washington, to that eff
feet, and has offered on the part of his gov
erinent to pay such an instructor yearly
salary of ESQ, or about $1,000, and his
travelling expenses.
Already quite number of people have
expressed their willingness to accept tie
position, and since the press is giving consid-
cradle attention to the matter, many others
will probably follow their example.
The cost of food and clothing in Queens
land is less than in the United States, and
good house may be rented in Brisbane, the
capital Of the colony, for about $500 year,
while servants may be hired at about s. 80
week each. The climate is so healthful
that Queensland has long been a resort for
lnvalids While the summers are hot, the
Thermometer frequently going up to 100 in
the shade, the atmosphere is dry, and the
heat is tempered by the sea bre 9ze
Commissioner Colman ought to recon-
mend southern man for the appointment,
for the very simple and satisfactory reason
that the products of the land are about the
same as those of lands in this section. Cot
ton, sugar cane and tobacco are cultivated,
and wheat and other cereals may be grown.
Among the fruits which, it is said, may be
grown to perfection are the orange, lemon,
banana, citron, pineapple, fig, grape, peach,
apple and pear.
If any southern agriculturist has an
ambition to hold office III foreign country,
let him notify Commissioner Colman As
there are already a good many applicants,
however, and as only one can be successful,
those who want to instruct the farmers of
Queensland how to cultivate the ground
had better wait for official appointment
before dropping their work in this country.

The truth Abou. Fernandina.

The truth about Fernandina is out at last,
and the mystery surrounding the sickness
of the soldiers from Gainesville who went
to that city is solved. The authorities, VINO
so persistently denied the reports of its ex-
istence in Fernandina, have at last satisfied
themselves that yellow fever prevails in
that city Their delay in coming to the
conclusion that the dreaded disease had
made its appearance has, however, caused
number of people of Gainesville to
lose their lives, and has doubt
less permitted the germs of the disease to be
scattered over hitherto healthy localities
Probably the physicians who treated sus-
picious cases early in the month did not
know yellow fever when they saw it. If
so, their want of knowledge was most I'M
fortunate. There seems to be no means of
stopping the fever from spreading except a
strict quarantine against it VIII rover it up
pears. Even then, as in the case of Fer
nandina, if physicians cannot recognize
the fever when it breaks out, and the
authorities deny its existence, healthy
places are likely TO be infected before they
can guard against its introduction.
So far Savannah and other coast CT ties of
Georgia have kept the disease away from
them, but the Fernandina outbreak demon
strates that they cannot be too vigilant in
their efforts to enforce rigid quarantine
against infected or suspected localities

The esteemed New York Graphic is not
pleased because the MORNING News has
referred to it as a mugwump newspaper.
The mugwump press of New York is not
to be sneezad at. There is the very able
New York Times, and there is the excellent
Ho'pers' Weekly. and there is the keen
wittld ErcHiRg Post. There may be others
not row recalled to mind, but the point is
that they are all very fine newspapers, and
person can get great deal of ediiication
from reading them. And yet the Graphic
has the best of reasons for not caring to bs
ella sed with them, viz, it is a fine democratic
journal, and stands by both the national
and the state candidates. There is nothing
better in this world than a soundly demo-
cratic and well edited newspaper, and the
Graphic is both.
