The only Democratic paper of any
note which has raised its voice in de-
Tense of the laundering secretary of
state, is the Baltimore Sun. The SUI
bemoans the very ludicrous attempt of
the secretary to assist the consul at
Tangler i'll his game of bluff, and says it
is all the result of the miserable Republi-
cans, under whose administration of
affairs our navy dwindled to few worth
less hulks. The Sun talks as though
Cleveland had only been inaugurated
about week. After all, of what use
would an immense navy be to such a
man as Mr.. Bayard-who sent man-of-
war in the Mediterranean to help Consul
Lewis to bluff the Moors, but at the same
time instructed the officer in charge not
to shoot, and worst of all, permitted the
instructions to become public? The Sun,
in undertaking to defend the blunderS of
Mr.. Bayard, has commenced an all

The tariff issue before congress and

fairly drawn. The report by Chairman
Mills Of the ways and means committee
bill tthe majority report to congress
Tuesday and his speech upon the sub
ject was the throwing down OF the
gauntlet, but the prolaptitude with which
it was taken up By Mr.. Kelly. who is
recognized as the leader in the contest on
the opposite side, showed that the friends
Of the people are prepared for the con-
fiict. The discussion of the measure al
ready had, the substance of which was
given in our telegraphic columns yester-
day morning, and that TO follow until
the final disposition of the bill, precludes
the necessity for further remarks upon
the merits Of the question just here, and
we only remark the contrast between the
position of the two parties rs outlined by
the speeches OF Messrs. Mills and Kelly,
!. e. the Democrats champion the cause
of the past; the Republicans, issues Of
today. The result viii show whether we
are progressive or retro.resSIye peocse.

Dehoruing Cattle.

Live stock Indicator.
Dehorning has probably come to stay,
but in our opinion there Is danger of a
back-set if the practice is INDUCED in
during "fy time" No matter what
sort of wound is made during warm
weather there is danger of maggots
following, and the orifice at the base
of the horn VIII be found much more
difficult 10 treat than a wound on any
other part OF the body. Better study
up during the period from May to Oc-
tober and be prepared to do q good
job before winter sets ia. In cool
weather the sore soon heals without the
aid of salve Of any kind, and in fact it Is
better that no remedy be applied to heal
the wound. Should maggots get in. the
matter must of necessity tee promptly
attended to. The Live Stock Indicator 5
advice Is. however, TO postpone the work
of dehorning until cool weather.

such an occurrence as led to the strike

but when 1.-The injury of one becomes
the concern OF all" a very small matter
may kindle very large fire. Well, two
wrongs never did make right, and
never will. We suspect that the state OF
case with the 20" company is that there
exists feeling of mutual distrust, not to
say unkindness, between the company
and its employees, and this causes both
sides to be over-sensitive, and little
things that otherwise would not be
noticed by either are taken up, magnified
and made much of by both, and until all
hands can get rid of that feeling and dis
position these petty troubles between
them and annoyances to the public will

The savants of Europe have been try
ing to embalin geese. They might begin
on Balfour and II. FL. Smith, enc or
Englands cabinet ministers, since both
of these pre-eminent statesmen say they
are waiting for the full fruition of their
policy when the Irish people shall be
converted to coercion as a wise,
lust and national measure. They
are trying to teach the Irish, race
to writhe and groan in melody,
and with Balfour craftsmanship means
to clasp the Irish patriot with handouts,
and to festoon the statue of Liberty with
chains. History will hereafter class the
statesman who believed in coercion as a
bigger fool than the Roman, who having
never seen a river, sat beside the Tlber
waiting for the stream to run dry before
he crossed.

That most insufferable and completely
played out sand lot demagogue, yennis
Kearney, gives it as his opinion that the
Republican nomination for the presiden-
cy lies between Sherman, Depew and
Stanford, with chances in favor Of SHAN
ford Kearney is a ''putrid reminis-
cence" that, 50 far as California is con-
cerned, is buried out of all chance of
resurrection, but, of course, the sena-
tors chances ought not to be prejudiced
because the defunct agitator insists upon
hanging to the tail of his presidential
kite. Republicans might go further and
do worse than to head their ticket with
the name of Leland Stanford, but rail
road presidents are not in favor this year
as presidential candidates.

And nowsscomeS the Globe-Democrat

is probably a deep and "cunningly

the scheme by which st. Louis Re-

into nominating Mayor Francis for the
vice-presidency. And why not? St
Louis is a bigger town than Buffalo and
MIR. Francis rep. as mayor is fully equal

A Business Mans Views.

''The plain truth is, Us Samuel Hod-
son, secretary of the Winchester Arms
Repeating Company, put it. that no
honest business man in the country
can at heart be opposed to revision
of the present tariff" AS this COM
pany employs 1,600 men year in and
year out, it is entitled to a voice in
matter of such general interest The
Winchester Repeating Arms Company
manufactures both arms and ammuni-
ton. The latter it sells almost en-
tirely ut home. As Mr. Hodson said.
it can hardly expect to export 4 great
deal of ammunition when, in addition
to paying the cost of raw materials
used in its manufacture, the company
is also compelled to pay tribute to the
Government on each article. Take lead.
for instance. That may be bought for
q cents per pound. but the duty upon
1t is cents per pound, and the duty is
high enough to bar American-made
ammunition from entering into COM
petition with that made in Europe.
With the company's arms it is differ
ent. Even the duty on the raw ma
terials used in their manufacture is
not sufficient to keep them out of
foreign markets, as the company does
a considerable export trade. But Mr..
Hodson had no hesitation in saying
that the free admission of raw materi-
ais would be of great benefit to the
company's business.-M Y Times.
