STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Among the curious facts that have been
brought out in connection with the direct tax
bill is that, while the tax was levied in 1861
for the purposes of carrying on the war,
South Carolina is credited Oh the books at
Washington with having paid her full quota,
while Wisconsin is charged with $50, 962
still due and unpaid.
80
A more sensational discovery is that which
relates to the amount of commissions the
claim agents were to receive from the various
states for lobbying the bill through. So far
as heard from the record stands thus: Iowa
is to pay % per cent on her claim of
1891, PA, which gives the lobbyists in round
numbers 100000. Kansas is to pay 10 per
cent on $4,000; Kentucky, 5 per cent on
$606,O00; Maine, 25 per cent on 1857, 702;
Maryland, $4,000 out of S371 900; Massa-
chusetts, % per cent of 100000; Michi-
gan, 40 per cent on S426,000: Minnesota,
25 per cent on 500, $50; Missouri, Is
per cent on S647, 900; New York. Is per
cent OH 50, 1872 900; Ohio, 10 per cent on
1882. 900; South Carolina, 35 per cent on
S363, 600; Nevada, so per cent on 81, 200.
Altogether the lobbyists are assured of over
$4,000 in case the bill passes, with sew
eral states yet to hear from.
*x*
The next question is when and where did
the various state officials get their authority
to contract with these lobbyists? If Mime
sofa has just claim against the government
for 500, $50 which is to be secured by an act
Of congress, why is it that our representatives
are not capable of looking after it without
the aid of hired lobbyist who is employed
by the state authorities and for which he is
to get 500. 900 of the states good money i'll
case the bill goes through. There are some
indications of there being more than one
niger i'll this woodpile.

The spirit of senatorial chivalry still
lives. The junior Indiana senator crossed
his maiden sword in debate yesterday with
that of the junior Minnesota senator, and
handled his steel SO well that the combatants
shook hands when the fray was over and
congratulated each other upon their skill
Such episodes as these remind us that we
are drifting back to first principles. In the
early days of the republicit was thought to
be a more honorable distinction to be gen.
tleman than a senator.

A Pocket Borough.

Rhode Island is model little Repub-

of the English pocket borough. 1t is
held in the hollow of the hands of few
mill owners at Providence and Fall
River and group of villa aristocrats at
Newport. The property qualification
which has long existed as disgraceful
blot upon the constitution of Rhode
Island has barred any manly and indie
pendent use of the right of suffrage.

Obstruction Will Not Do.

Springfield Republican.
Republican papers East and West are
beginning to see that policy of mere
obstruction to the course of the majority
in the house on a tariff bill will never
do, and that if they expect to win in the
coming election they must go before the
country with harmonious and well-de-
fined views in regard to tariff revision
and revenue reduction. That is the only
thing to be done. The party is pledged
to revise the tariff and reduce the sur
plus, and the fact thatit is in a minority
in the house will not relive it of the
pledge.

Stanford's Candidacy

Stanford is an anomaly. He presents
the spectacle of burglar asking to be
police judge. A horse thief soliciting
the position of corral boss. Yet. there
is no doubt that if the Republicans
thought Stanford capable of winning,
they would choose him as leader, and
shout as Justify and vote as heartily as
though every ballot were not against all
laws of decency and right.

An Ininuitous Raid.

PlttSburg Post.
The Republicans who are manifesting
such Impotence at the filibustering of
the minority, which stands between GER
tain states and their claim agents and
the treasury, should explain why in the
hey-day and omnipotence of their power
in congress they did not bring forward
and pass this bill. The direct tax was
laid in 1861, and was only collected for
one year and only in part of that year.
They have slept OH their rights, if any
rights accrued, for twenty-five years
and more. and it will not do for them to
raise the cry of rebel to excuse their
own default.

Protection is simply legalized device
to secure to the favored industries a
price for their product above the natural
market price. Trusts are simply COM

law of might to fix their own prices for
commodities by limiting production.
The fruits of the first device for robbing

the home market, are the destruction Of

HAD A HOUSE WARMING.
The New York Reform Club Has
Love Feast.
L0WELL'S SENSIBLE TALK.
Fifth District Republican Congressional
C0nvention---Beeke County
Democrats.

New YORK, April 12.-There was
distinguished gathering at the house
warming of the New York Reform club
this evening, and James Russell Lowell
was one of the invited guests. The
principal object of the club is the agita-
ton for tariff reform. Mr.. Lowell, in
the course of his talk, said he was re-
minded by the presidents remarks,
when he said the foe was strongly in
trenched, of an old Spanish ballad. 1t
described the MoorS as holding strong
position On hill, from which the Span
ish were unable to dislodge them. A
young man at length came, and, on
learning the condition of affairs, he
said: Il thank God that He has left
this work for me-" He then put
spurs to his horse and charged
the foe. The speaker thought like
him, that his hearers should thank
God that the work had been
left for them. He had watched the anti
slavery movement from the beginning
and had become convinced that the sue
cess of the abolitionistS was largely due
to the mistakes and extravaganza of
their opponents. He thought the same
result would come to those who stand
for eXtravagant protection. The num-
Der of young men present reminded him
of the beautiful story of Lucretius, of
the runners who passed on the torch of
life and enlightenment to each other.
Archimides said he could move the
world if he had place to stand on. The
tariff refOrmers did not want better
place to stand on than they have, for as
the Lord liveth the man who takes his
stand on the truth will have the world
come around to him.
