S Fore Heaven, my Lord, it is wei
spoken, with good accent and discre-
tion."
When did the west ask for reduc-
ton in the lumber and iron tariff? Not
at the late election, surely. If the
senator had said at the wish Of New
Jersey and Connecticut q cut would be
made in the tariff, his language would
be Ineligible. No wonder western
papers find something peculiar in
such proceedings. The popularity is
not confined to Senator Plumb, either.
Other western senator's are with him.
Who they are is not yet clearly re-
vealed.
But is it not most singular that the
section that voted overwhelmingly for
protection to everything made or grown
in the country should be the first to
demand reduction of the tariff on
wood and iron?

A Mystery,


Here is something rich, rare and racy
anda trifle picturesque withal. A hus-
band paying taxes in the city walked
into a merchant tailoring establish
ment on Commercial street few days
ago, and throwing down pair of pants
which he carried under his arm,
asked the proprietor if he knew who
they belonged to. AS the pants were
made in that shop, he knew the owner
and so stated, giving his name. ''Well, :"
said the husband, who appeared to be
greatly puzzled, ST found them in my
bed room, and would like to know how
in the Sam Hill they got there" The
merchant tailor could throw no light
whatever on the subject. 1t was
to him an insolvable mystery. The
utmost that he could do was to sur
mise and conjecture. Perhaps the
door was open and the wind blew them
in, or mischievOus puppy dragged
them in, or they became animated
and walked in. Grand so he went on
The pants were returned to their own
er and the husband went away thor
oughly mystIfed and puzzled as to how
so inexplicable a thing could happen.
If any one can with a bulls eye Ian
tern, throw ray of light on this mat
ter, he will confer a great favor on
said husband.

FROM dispatches elsewhere in this is
sue of THE NEWS it will be seen that
Halves, the man who is the cause of
the bloody work at Birmingham. Ala
ALBANIA, has confessed his crimes. The
confession was not needed to convict
him after the bodies of his wife and
daughter were found in the lake. 1t
may shorten his trial and prevent the
usual laws delay IN bringing him to the
gallows. That is something for which
the public should be thankful. Juries
do not usually find it difhcult to con-
vict when the prisoner pleads guilty.
Now, if Sheriff Smith who murdered a
number of reputable citizens in defense
of the fiend Hawes, will make similar
plea and take his stand on the scaffold
beside his friend Halves, public opinion
in Birmingham will be in some meas
ure satisfied.

sub DIVISION OF STATES.

What number and variety of pub
lie questions are being mooted and
discussed in the public prints.
There is the annexation of Canada,
the fisheries question, an inter-oce-
anic canal, Harrison's cabinet, the
tariff, the admission into the union of
three or four territories, corruption in
the late election and so on, almost ad
infinitum.
sub dividing Texas, Colorado and Cal
ifornia is receiving its share of
thoughtful consideration - Sub-di-
vision springs mainly from the admis-
sion of Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and
Washington territories, which Is now
fore-shadowed in the near future. 1t
is perhaps revival in part of the old
sectional idea that a southern state
should be admitted cotemporaneously
with a northern one so as to preserve
the equilibrium thought to be neces-
sary.
This is only conjecture that can be
taken for what it is worth.
The ostensible reason for sub-divis-
sion, and the one mainly relied on to
justify it, is that subdivision is in the
interest of local self government, and
the better regulation of the peoples
affairs.
Texas is as large as any European
nation executing Russia. Ter consti-
tuition contains clause providing lilat
the state may be divided when circum-
stances justify it into five states. The
question arises, would it not be better
for the people of this vast territory if it
should be divided and each section with
its diverse interests allowed to control
its own affairs in its own way?
1t may be objected that creating
more states will increase expenses and
add to the peoples taxes. There is
something in that. Yet it is probable
that the benefits that will accrue will
more than overbalance that evil-if il
may be SO called. Besides, they who
favor subdivision can point to the small
states in the east and ask if they do moi
think themselves benefited by having
the governing power near at hand. We
never hear of the small states com
planning Of the bcrdensome nature o.
their governments. There is not on,
of them that would not fight before
giving up its autonomy.
Texas has grown wonderfully. 1
has population of nearly three mil
lions, with a capacity for seyera
millions more which it will have in
few years. The time is not SO very ia
away when subdivision will force it
self on her. The necessities of the geo
pie will demand it.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WECKaNG.

Democrats in the house are lifting
up their voices in loud complaint
against the do-nothing policy respect
ing the tariff of the democratic sena-
tors. Perhaps the senator's are willing
to let the country have all the protec-
ton it wants, seeing that in the light
Of the late election it has not got
enough yet. 1t might be just as well
for the democrats in the house to take
that view of the situation also. and
give Their republican brethren all the
rope they desire.
1t looks like mixture of folly and
audacity for democrats to oppose the
wishes of the people. If the late cleo
ton, by it's result, proves anything, it
proves that the nation as a whole
wants high tariff. This is more es-
pecially true of the west. where every
state but one-Missouri-Yoted over
Whelmingly in favor of the highest
tariff possible.
Why not give them what they want2
Why balk their desires? Look at Kan
sas with her $4,000 plurality. What
does that signify?
Why tariff, tariff, tariff. Congress
can't make it too high, too wide, nor
too deep for Kansas.
Senator Plumb seems to think other
wise. But he is now getting roast
ing as he deserves from his brother sem
ators for asking that the tariff on GER
tain articles of steel be reduced. 1t Is
very strange that the senator could ask
such a thing. 1t is equivalent 10 telling
the so, 900 plurality at his back that
they do not know what is good for them.
or course that will never do.
His position is somewhat anomalous
in this affair of the tariff. OF all the
states, not one pronounced as strongly
in favor of protection as Kansas. True.
she has no manufactures. But what Of
that. Other states have. They are
springing up in the south rapidly and
need protection. The south is not
liked very well in Kansas. But that is
nothing. The sunhower state has big
heart. She smothers her prejudice
against the south and says to Uncle
Sam, in burst of magnanimity, give
Dixie all the protection she wants"
That is very noble, most unselfish
and patriotic. Why then does Senator
Plumb say nay, and seek to beat down
the tariff on steel? OF all the senators,
he should be the very last to make that
move. Is a democratic move, a
move against his own state and people,
as well as against that national palla-
dunn, protection.
AS we said at the outset, it is, we
think, better to give the west as much
tariff as can be laid on. Heap it up.
And let Senator Plumb, as well as ev-
cry democratic senator and representa-
tive either vote for it, or at least throw
no obstacles in its way. The nearest
way to get rid of the pestiferous and
nerve racking opportunities of the
small boy is to throw open the door of
the larder and let him eat himself sick.

sOnRwHAr PECULIAR

THE Atehison Champion and other
republican organs in the state view
the stand taken by Senator Plumb on
the iron and lumber schedules of the
senate tariff bill as something ''pecu-
liar" They are sanguine enough to
think, however, that at bottom the
senator is all right; that is, that his
poiiticO-econonIic principles are funda-
mentally correct on high protective
tariff legislation, and that when it
comes to vote he will be found In the
right place. Very likely.
But it now begins to appear that
Senator Plumb is not the only member
of the upper house afflicted with ''pe-
culiar" ideas concerning tariff reduc-
ton.
Senator Ingalls,, who has been doing
his share of talking lately, now tells
us that lin accordance with the wishes
of the west"-mark the reasonable
lumber schedule viii be modified and
the iron schedule reduced
In Difference to the wishes Of the
west, quotha. Very good indeed.
