and London Sturgeon are writers of
books, and think they and their publishers
should be protected by law, and it is not
strange that they hold this opinion. But
they warmly repudiate the claim of those
who make cloth, cutlery, and pottery to
have their work protected by tariff law
The making and printing of books is the
work of the brain and the hand. The max
ing of fine cloths, excellent cutlery,
and beautiful pottery is the work of the
brain and of the trained hand. We
respect the claims of the American author
and the American artisan alike. The Free
Trader j. bound to be equally consistent
Those who would not vote for the Repub-
lican candidate because they were intense
Civil Service Reformers, and did vote for
Grover Cleveland who has proved himself
to be the most partisan of Presidents, and
now laud him because he is a Free Trader,
seem to have twisted themselves up in a
strikingly peculiar manner. We assume
that plain statement of facts is no puzzle
and that even English Free Traders can
see through this milestone.

CONGRESS-.
Another week has passed in Congress with
out the accomplishment of anything impor.
tant. Ii is said that the Democratic members
of the Ways and Means committee of the
House have secretly adopted a tariff bill
which they carefully conceal from the Re-
publican members of the committee. This
will be brought into the House before long,
and then there will be lively time. Both
wings of the Democratic party will begin to
flap" but not together. 1t is an open secret
here that Samuel J. Randall and Grover
Cleveland hate each other most cordially
The President seems to have obtained tenn
porary advantage over his antagonist, but a
look at Randall's iron jaw will convince a
student of human nature that such man will
keep up the fight just the same, and more
than likely will win in the end.
BLIND CRITICS.
The irregularities and disorderly conduct
of the Republican convention which met here
last week to elect delegates from this district
to the National Convention at Chicago, have
been much commented on by the Democratic
press as an example of the negro in poll
tics" The population of the district is one
third colored, and, owing to the Indifference
of many white Republicans, the convention
was controlled by colored voters. Senator
Sherman had enough interest in the conven-
ton to seek to control the selection of dele
gates as against Blaine, which resulted in the
creation Of two factions. each one of which
claimed to be legally entitled to organize and
elect officers, which they proceeded to do in
the same room. Asa consequence there was
confusion and conflict of authority In addi-
