A Sectional Tariff

The Ways and Means committee acting
under the policy of the administration,
has made a sectional tariff bill by which
southern articles upon which the duty
should be reduced, have been protected
by duties ranging from 20 to lib per
cent, while northern products, which the
tariff makes no higher, have been deprv-
ed of protection which is essential to
their prosperity. In other words, the
southern members have dictated sec
tional tariff bill, In fact, the south
either dictates the action of she House or
prevents action by filibustering.

Farmers and the Mills Bill

The tariff vote called for among
the farmers of New England and
Eastern New York by the New
England Homestead, has closed.
The farmers were asked to state
whether they favored the Mills tar
i'll bill or not, and particularly It's
provisions that relate most directly
to agriculture Only the personal
signatures of farmers who were
legal voters were accepted and pol.
itics were tabOoed. The farmers
have INDUCED in an animated dis.
cussion of the question also, in which
the tariff reform element has been
quite aggressive. The protection,
sits have done more voting than
talking, and the result is a total
vote of 1881, of which 1881 are
against the mills bill, 242 in favor
of it. Maine goes SO against and
10 for the bill. New Hampshire, 239
against and II for; Vermont, 4Hl

1140 against and 90 for; RhoCe

necticut, 427 against and 81 for, and
Eastern New York, 62 against and

the fact that II per cent, of the pa

be very satisfactory proportion
Just 9l4 per cent, of the ballots re-
clined were in favor of protection TO

THE TINES fully agrees with the
Concord Daily Monitor in its est!'
mate of the Congressional Record as
set forth in the following closing
paragraph of an article reviewing at
lepgth the complaints that are an
nually sent cur in regard to this un-
abridged r. cord Of the proceedings Of
onr.fess. 1t says: GAS we said
before, we think that most OF the
complaints about the Record are un'
reasonable, Undoubtedly there are
some abuses connected with it, but
they are not such as seriously to de-
tract from it's value as a public edu-
Gator. 1t would certainly be public
misfortune if it were to be made a
less complete record of the work and
thought if Congress than 1t is al
present." And we think it might
without trespassing on dangerous
grounds have added that much
more thorough knowledge of what i:
really published in the Record,woult
be advantageous to all classes Of ou
citizens.

Boldly, feailessly, Senator T. w.
Palmer says: Although believe in
prohibiting the liquor traffic, yet my
position is that the Republican party
will best serve its interests by adopt
ing prohibitory plank. 1t is in my
judgment a matter Of party expedi
ency. There is growing sentiment
in favor of prohibition, not among
cranks, but among thinking people,
and in my judgment the party will do
well to consider this sentiment"
And The TINES believes that the
Republican party of Michigan will
not only "consider" but adopted that
sentiment as fundamental plank
in their platform"

who Are Our Best Citizens?

This question is often suggested by
reading in some newspaper OF pub
lie meeting or of some public or pri.
vate entertainment in which the re
mark is made that Some, "many"
or "mos:," "of our best citizens were
present." followed by list more or
less extended Of the parties referred
to, and the names given are almost
informally those of people reputed
to be wealthy. In every city, and
Owosso is no exception to the rule,
substantially the same names are given
often during every year, by almost
every journal that pretends to report
local events. From time to time
new names are added or familiar
oaes disappear from the list as this
man or that one has been fortunate
enough to secure fortune by stock
gambling, by cornering the market
in wheat, corn, pork or some other
necessary of life, or in an equally
reckless manner lost fortune per-
haps originally inherited from parents
or other sources, originally secured
by methods that ought not to CON-
mend any man to public confidence.
But as matter Of fact it does not
seem to matter much how the desired
fortune was secured. 1t is enough
that it become generally known that
the bank account has assumed the
necessary magnitude and forthwith a
new name is added to the list "of our
best citizens" or if the same bank
account is by any means diminished
below the demanded sum, the name
as abruptly disappears from among
the list of sour best citizens" as
though the man had been sent to
State Prison for life, for some henious
crime.
In all earnestness, we ask. is there
not a great deal that is absolutely
disgusting in the methods by which
public "best citizenship" is estab-
lished in this free country? The
TINES demands the reason why the
whiskey distiller, the bogus butter
nobob, the railroad wrecker, the
manipulation who corners" the mar
ket in the necessaries of life, causing

who by these transactions, at their
best, always fraudulent, is able by his

he might indulge his music loving

if you can why the ''land king" whose
fortune has been secured largely by
foreclosing mortgages and gobbling
the homes of the dilligent but un.
fortunate tillers of the soil is more
entitled to be classed among sour
best citizens" than is his honest,
faithful and competent book keeper
upon whose brains the king depends
for the accuteness and record
which enable him to so direct his
great transactions so as to secure his
millions?
The TIMES does not for a momen
believe that our best citizens are al
ways or generally found among the
wealthy class. Some of them are
there and live in "5rown stone
fronts," ano possibly "beiween dec
Grated teams and livered flunkeys,"
but the most of them are to be found
in the humble homes and modest
apartments of the wage workers who
toll 10 hours day for little more
than the pecessaries of life.
THE TINES believe that the 'best
citizen" is the man who is manly
and true and who does with unswerv-
ing fidelity every duty devolving on
him day by day-who is strictly hon.
est ia all his dealings with his fellow
men--in short the man who meets
every obligation with fidelity and
promptness. The TIMES does not
believe there is any royal road
wealth to "test citizenship"
in this free land in this working day
age. That high emprise is one for
which rich and poor may alike strive
and VIZ II be won only by those who
fail not, falter not, weary not in well
doing.
The TINES cannot help believing
that "the best citizenship" that is
based entirely on wealth, no matter
how obtained is worse than a sham
and delusion, that is a fraud on
best citizenship which ought not TO
be tolerated, and that the constant
parading of few names of the
wealthy class as chest citizens or as
"citizens" to be especially honored
is disgusting almost beyond the en-
durarce of the people who are really
the best citizens.

Fish Living i'm Hot Water.

There is n pond on the Lay ranch
at Golconda, which is fed by the wa
ters from the hot springs. This pond
has an area OF two or three acres, and
the temperature OF the water is about
SIS deg, and in some places where the
hct water bubbles up from the bot
tom the temperature is almost up to a
boiling point. Recently the discovery
has been made that this warm lake is
literally alive with carp, some OF which
are more than a foot long. All efforts
to catch them with a hook and
line have failed, as they will not touch
the most tempting bait. Afew ofthem
have been shot. and contrary to the
general supposition, the flesh was
hard and palatable. How the fish got
into the lake is q mystery unsolved.
Within 100 feet OF it are springs which
are boiling hot, and the ranchers in
the vicinity use the water to scald
hogs in the butchering season.-Silver
