William G.. EndicOtt.

William Crononshield Endicott is a
native of the old Bay State" having
been born in Salem, Massachusetts,,
in 1927. He entered Harvard Uni
versity as a student and graduated
therefrom in 1917. lie then entered
the law school of that institution and
completed his studies in 1919 In
1850 was admitted to the bar and
began the practice of law. In 1873 he
was called to the Supreme bench and
held that position for nine years. In
1882 he was compelled to resign his
position of trust in order to restore
his shattered health, to accomplish
which he made an extended tour of
England and the continent Mr..
Endicott's first politicalTffiliation was
with the old. time Wings but in the
Bell-Everett campaign he joined the
ranks of the Democrats. He was a
Presidential elector in that memorable
contest. In 1884 he ran for the
GOvernorship of Massachusetts but
was defeated by Robinson, his Re-
publican opponent. Judge Endicott
is not IL politician in the accepted
sense of the term. He is averse to
machination of the ward politicians
and his opponents say he is impractical.
He belongs to the better element Of
the Massachusetts, Democrats. Per-
sonally Mr.. Endicott is held in the
highest esteem by all who know him.
His health, although better than at
the time of his resignation from the
bench, is far from being good and the
strain of Cabinet position must
eventually tell upon him. He was
rendered the portfolio of Secretary of
War by Cleveland, but is said to have
desired the Attorney Generalship,
thinking himself better qualified to
fill the latter. He was appointed
Secretary of War by Cleveland, March
5th, 1885.

1t seems to be entirely forgotten by
the objectors to wool exemption that
the wooleu manufacturers themselves
three years ago submitted to the Sec
retary of the Treasury National Asso-
citation statement, in which they re-
questea that wool be made free. In
stead, therefore, of simply reviling the
tariff refOrmers, our protectionist con-
temporaries would appear to better ad-
vantage if they would set about the
herculean task of showing that free
wool does not mean cheaper and better
clothing for the American people. If,
however, they persist in talking their
favoffte CANNON about rebel brigadiers
being in the saddle once more and rid
ing hard with a view to the annihila-
ton of Northern industries, they will
pay'the natural penalty of trying to
delude the people with such palpable
nonsense.

Trusts in Congress.
New York Herald

The Republicans in Congress will
soon be put to the test whether they
will follow Mr.. Blaine in the avowal
that trusts are private affairs with
which the public has no right to inter
fere, or will deal with them as a grow.
ing abuse that threatens vast mischief
to the community. Not fewer than six
antitrust billswere brought forward in
the House on the 2Ist inst.
Five of them were introduced by Mr.
Breckinridge, OF Arkansas. They pro-
ceed on the theory that trusts are an
outgrOwth, an abuse of the tariff. They
are aimed ut five conspicuous COM
bines, and either put the article on the
free list or materially reduce the duty
on 1t. The trusts thus moved against
are the sugar, the cotton bagging, the
coal oil, the cottonseed oil and the al
cohol. Mr.. Breckinridge's bills are de-
signed to secure to the people the gains
that are now exacted from them by
these monopolies.
The other bill introduced into the
House was the same as that introduced
into the Senate last week by Mr.. Rea
gan. 1t is general measure aimed al
all combines. 1t defines trusts and
provides for the punishment of persons
carrying them on.
1t may be doubted whether this bill
is practicable, or, if it were, whether i,
would stand the constitutional tests in
the courts. But there can be little
room for question as to either the prac
ticability or the constitutionality of tn,
tariff bills against trusts.

Blaine'S Auiacity.

Mr.. Blaine is the most recklsssly
audacious politician OF the age. In
his theories he is brilliant but erratic
In his statements he is utterly regard.
less OF fact. He had hardly put his
foot on his native heath" when he
produced that well known d" chestnut
OF his which did such good execution
in the late presidential canvass. Here
tits: "The savings OF the wage-work-
ers of England, Scotland and Ireland
as said to Massachusetts, gentle
man, are not nearly as great as lie to-
night in the savings bank of Massa-
chusetts to the credit of the wage
workers of that small State" This is
MIR. Blaine's statement. Now for the
facts. Last year the total deposits in
the Massachusetts, savings banks were
S29l ,l97 800. Last year the total de-
posts in the savings banks of Great
Britain and Ireland, including postal
banks, were $572 ,676,29O. Nor is this
all. 1t must be borne in mind that
nearly, ii not quite, all the banks of
the united kingdom, except the Bank
OF England, pay interest on deposits,
which is not the csse with us. So
that virtually, to all intents and pur-
poses, they are savings banks. 1t has
also been repeatedly shown through
parliamentary inquiry that, in Scot
land, for instance, the larger proper
ton OF the commercial bank deposits
consist of sums ranging from $50 to
$500 to the credit Of farm hands, fisher
men, mechanics and servants. OF
such deposits the ;oint-stock banks
(other than savings) OF Scotland hold
$4OO, O,OOO, 600 and the savings banks
$45, 100000, in all $445 900 900, the
great mass OF which is savings of the
middle and lower classes OF the coun-
try. Mr.. Blaine, as presumably we'll
posted statesman, ought to know that
the increase in the banking capital of
Great Britain in thirty years has been
l5O per cent. per head Of population,
while during the same time in the
United States there has been de-
crease. See Mulhalls FIFTY Years
Progress. The total bank deposits
OF the United States in 1882 --latest re-
turn) were $2,9O2 100000. Great
Britain and Ireland in 1887 were
,522,677 ,29O. Meanwhile, we res
pectfully submit to Mr.. Blaine this
query: If savings-banks deposits are
such wise indications OF prosperity, how
is it that the rich State of Illinois has
but $l4, 600 900 OF such, while Massa-
chusetts has. over 1921, 100000, when
wages OF Illinois are much higher than
in Massachusetts, a?

Will Vote for Cleveland.

NFw YORK, Aug. 17.-Consternation
has been caused among the Republi-
cans by noted desertion from their
ranks:
"1 have been a Republican ever since
the party was organized" said John
Stephenson, the car builder, "but I am
going to vote the Democratic ticket
this time"
John Stephenson is one of the best
known manufacturers in America. He
does not believe that protection pro-
tects." His cars are to be found in
every prominent city on the globe
where street cars are known, and this
is his fifty-eighth year in the manufac-
turing business. His mandatory oc-
cupies eighteen city lots on Twenty
seventh street, between Madison and
Fourth avenues. He employs from
$50 to 500 men the year around, a large
percentage being skilled mechanics.
"When / read President Cleveland's &
message to Congress ON the tariff, i
said, l am going to vote for that man.
l did not vote for him before, but am
convinced that he is right and the Re
publican party wrong. Thefact is, the
Republican party has outlived it's use
fulness. Their work is done.
"The tariff is 20 per cent. higher
than it was during the war, and al
though wages are somewhat higher, so
is everything else. Men who have
been with me long time, and some OF
my men have worked for me nearly
half century, say that $40 before the
war would buy more than SIS would
now. They say it is not SO much with
them question of how many dollars
they get for a weeks work, but how
much comfort their wages will provide.
The tariff was all right when we were
building up our infant industries, but
that time has gone by, and if given an
equal chance now we can beat the
world in manufactures. The natural
sharpness of American mechanics is
not equaled by any other nation, and
this, as well as their intelligence and
culture, gives us advantages.
"I was amused at the fuss the Re
publicans made over Blaine. Why?
They made fools of themselves in their
extravagance. 1t was not very COM
plimentary to Harrison, and l can't
see how it's going to help the party. I
think they will fine that the American
workingmen are too intelligent to be
scared by talk about free trade under
! the existing circumstances"

A good deal Of uncertainty seems tC

the frequency with which proofs are

tually necessary to secure title, has
caused the authorities to look with
suspicion upon all commuted home.

There is neither a maximum nor a
minimum Of valuation, though it is
shown by practice that the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office has
made up his mind that a settler who

one hundred and twenty-five dollars
has not made very strenuous efforts to
make permanent home for himself
and family. and will not pass such
entries to patent except under most
peculiar circumstances, showing be.
yond doubt that the claimant has
acted in good faith, and that where an
indication of bad faith appears he will
have no mercy upon the claimant.
In final proof it is frequently said by
claimants and witnesses that "ab.
senees have been no greater than the

as often as the law requires" These
statements are evasive in character and

Plain Facts for Irish-Americans.

Under this caption, the Catholic
News, of New York, gives some excel
lent aids for the formation of correct
opinion of the political situation in the
present campaign, addressed particu
larly to its Irish-American readers
1t says:
Starting at the very beginning, ii
must be understood that free trade is
not the question and has nothing to dc
with the campaign. The question is
Shall the people continue to pay war
taxes after quarter Of century OF
peace, and have hundreds of millions
of the peoples money glutting the
Treasury and tempting to public cor
ruption and wastefulness, when- Il
should be in circulation among the
people? Tariff reform has been recog-
nized as necessity by the Republican
leaders themselves for many years
back. Garfield, Grant, Arthur, even
Blaine himself, have advocated it, and
the decent men of that party acknowl-
edge its necessity to-day, as is shown
by the action of the leading Republi-
can Senators who are at this moment
engaged in constructing a tariff reform
measure.
The chaotic condition of the Repub-
lican party shows that it has no fixed
and abiding principles, but has entered
upon bushwhacking expedition for
office and power. Already have they
smashed their platform into kindling-
wood and have shelved-locked up in
Il clothes-press-the candidate whom
they nominated at Chicago. Blaine is
the leader of the Republican party,
and should that party succeed, would
be the de fdcto President. Did the Re
publicans have the honesty and cour-
age to renominate Blaine and fight a
fair battle the people would have re-
spected their bravery, however much
they might condemn their judgment
But with the American people, who
love manliness and contest on def
niteness, the Republican managers
cannot expect to gain by cowardice,
doublc-dealing and a proxy candidate
what they failed to do four years ago
by courage and gallant struggle.
The cry has been raised that the
Irish-American citizens have been
slaves of the Democratic party. This
is as false as the free trade" cry, and
as insincere as James G. Blaine HIM
self. The Irish-American voter is a
more intelligent man than those who
pretend to be his leaders and carry his
vote in their pockets would represent
him to be. He knows his friends, and
he exercises that wisdom and virtue
which prompt him to stick to his
friends. Nor will he allow any blat-
ant, mercenary patriot" of the pro-
fessional type to lead him blindfolded
over to his enemies to help them to
carry their heavy burden and maintain
their hopeless cause. 1t became a
shameful scandal how professional
Irish patriots" in 1884, bargained with
the Republican politicians for offices
on the condition of delivering the Irish
vote. Their imitators in the present
campaign cannot do it for money any
more than their prototypes did it for
Office in 1884.
The Republican party offers nothing
which could induce any intelligent
man to change his vote, or on account
Of which the people should restore it
to that power from which an aroused
and earnest public hurled it four years
