Uncle LENS Drinks.

Louisville COuTieT-Journal.
\ few nights since, Col. o. C. King.
of MorristOwn, Tenn. delivered an eX-
cellent speech before the Morristown
Cleveland and Thurman club. TOillus-
trate the fallacy of the Republican
charge that the Democrats are free
traders because they want to reduce
the tariff he told the following anec-
dOte of the doctors experience with his
patient, Uncle Lem Austin:
But" the Republican orators say.
1.-The Democratic policy of reducing the
tariff is step towards free trade: we
are opposed TO free trade, and therefore
oppose anything that tends in that di-
rection."
This sort of talk reminds me of old
Uncle Lem Austin's excuse for declin-
ing to reduce the number of drinks he
was taking daily.
Uncle Lem had been a free drinker
for a long time. At last it began to tell
on him. He became sick and sent for
the doctor.
The doctor came, examined him, in
Quired as to his symptoms, felt his pulse,
looked at his tongue, sounded his
chest, etc.
Having, as he supposed, suitably i'm
Lem, am afraid you are drinking too
should say to you that your trouble is
caused almost solely by the excessive
use of intoXicantS."
The old man did not seem TO be at all
surprised, but replied promptly: well,
Dock, | wouldn't be surprised if YOU
want mOre'n half right bout that
''How much do you drink day,
Uncle Lem?" inquired the doctor.
Nv, II. don't hardly know, Dock, "
replied the old man. 'Le'me see: [

how many'S that?"

"Ten."
AN two betwixt supper an bed

Twelve, - said the doctor.
"Well, them's about my daily ratiOns,
Dock
That's too much liquor, Uncle Lem.
You can't stand it; it will kill you. Now,
| suggest that you curtail the amount.
1t won't do to quit off entirely. 1t would
PROSTATE you. But you could reduce
the number of drinks, say third: and
after awhile make another reduction.
Now, suppose you drop off the two
drinks between breakfast and dinner
and the two between dinner and supper
at first, and begin the reformation in
that way?'
Uncle Lem held his head down and
reflected moment. then looking up,
and fixing his bleary eyes OF the doe

New Orleans Picayune.
A contemporary says that the issue to
be decided this fall is free trade versus
protection. 1t is nothing of the kind.
That issue may be raised hereafter, and
when it is it will be time enough to take
sides on it. The present issue before
the people is wholly different; it is
whether a moderate protective tariff is
better or worse than an eXOrbitant pro-
tective tariff; whether, on the whole, it
is for the public interest that the duty
on blankets should be 40 per cent or 10
per cent; Oh steel rails S11 ton OF SIT
ton: on clothing a. per cent or IS per
cent: and whether it would not be for
the interest of wOrkingmen to make raw
materials free so as to promote manu-
featuring industry.

aware that in the great cities of the
West, the length of mans purse is
the standard by which some are
counted in or counted out, but it is not
SO in the small villages that dot the
Western plains, and hills and dales.
And that these small places are as often
as aristOcratic as the city, is past deny
ing, too. AS these terms of wild
Vest and "rOwdy West" imply some
thidg of lawless community OF people,

be worn and upheld right royalty by the
people in that day and generation with

manned over to-day in order to mediate
in the squabbes which were prOmi-

held there to-day. His efforts were
only partially successful, however, as
the Radical element in the convention
secured the passage of motions commit
ting the conference to the support of
Welsh autonomy, church and land re-
forms, and the creation of a Welsh par

National party of Ireland. These things
were not precisely what Mr.. Marley and
his followers wished to have done just
at this time. as the formers speech last
night indicated, but the sentiment in
favor of them was too strong to be out

Lord Salisbury Will Have Diff

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-The death of Sir
Anthony Musgrave. governor of Queens
land, has placed the government in an
embarrassing position with regard to
the appointment of his successor. The
place would gladly be given to either
Lord Randolph Churchill or Henry
Chaplin, both of whom are men to be
placated by the government rather than
opposed, but there are also other
aspirants whose claims upon the party
for official preferment cannot safely be
ignored. The Office is worth $4,000 a
year, and as Mr.. Chaplin is known to be
pecuniarily embarrassed he may pos
sibly prefer gilded exile far away from
his creditors, to the annoyance which
his remaining in.London would entail.
and accept the position if it be offered
to him. 1t is not believed, however,
that any of the gentlemen mentioned as
possible appointees would refuse it.

Broken Pledges.

New OK Herald.
1t is not strange that Republicans in
all parts of the country are deserving
their party because Of its faithlessness
to repeated pledges to reduce the war
tariff, which Mr.. Blaine rightly says is
still in force
For twelve years Republican presi-
dents urged and Republican cOnven-
lions promised that the tariff should be
reformed. But their party in congress
disregarded the appeals of Grant,
Arthur, Folger and McCullOch, and
broke the pledges as fast as they were
made. The pretended reduction in 1888
affected the average rate less than ) per
per cent. And to-day the rate is higher
and the revenue from customs greater
than before the sham revision was made.
Four years ago the Republican party
was turned out of power for refusing to
reduce the war taxes. 1t is sheer impu-
dence for it to ask reinstatement after
declaring in its platform in favor of
spending the surplus. if possible, and
of freeing whisky and tobacco before
''Surrendering any part" of the tariff for
bOuntieS.
The pledge-breakers must stay out.

Free Trade.

Philadelphia Record.
Henry George has not been able to
find an opponent of intellectual force
and reputation to meet him on the
stump. but J. Hampton Moore, writer
for the Public Ledger, has taken shot
at him from behind the stump, in a
pamphlet designed to show that 1.-The
Mills bill means free trade, and that
free trade means anarchy" A contro-
verSialist who holds such absolute Opin-
ions ought to be careful i'll meddling
with printing ink and paper. To
assert that the Mills bill means
free trade is to assert that all of
the fifty-five tariff laws from 1889 to
the present time were free-trade meas
ureS. The fact is that none of them, at
the time of passage, contemplated
higher average than the average pro
posed in the Mills bill. 1t is equally alb
Surd to say that free-trade means an
archy. We have had hundred years
of free trade in the United States, with
results so favorable as to amount to a
demonstration of its practical value.
Even if free trade should be admitted
to be an evil, it would remain to be
proved that it is more unbearable
evil than OvertaXatiOn. The country
will always be ready to risk so much
free trade as would result from reduced
taxes.

the outgrowth of the recent tremendous
influx of visitors to the East end dis
