FOREIGN governments, as we'll as that Of
this country, are beginning to recognize the
uselessness of a diplomatic service. indeed,
the absurdity of such service in view of
the direct and imme diale means OF interna
tioual communication afforded by the te!e-
graph is gariugly apparent Previous to
that invention the official communications
between foreign governments were so infre.
auent that am bassadors used to beg their gov.
ernments to seed them packages ofod news-
papers, if nothing else, to show the govern
msnts to which they were accredited that
they were remembered at home but since
then such communications are of almost
daily occurrence, am assadors merely acting
the part of telegraphic messenger boys.
When Lord Salisbury Can talk directly and
Immediately with Secretary Bayard, why
should he adopt the circunlocutory process
oi doing so through the mouth of British
minister at Washington? especially as by the
former method he would avoid all possible
risk of mscoDstruction.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AS A SPEAKER

THE PRINCE OF WALES AS A SPEAKER
There is report that MIR. Murray is going
shortly to publish the Prince of Waless
speeches He has now spoken In public for
quarter OF century, and many people be-
leve that HIS spec ches are written for him,
the Prince only putting the finishing touches
himself 1t is obvious he must have an i'm.
mense deal OF assistance, for the subjects on
which be speaks are 90 varied it would be
next to impossible for him to prepare the
materials for himself. 1t will be interesting
to see If there is any natural development n
them or if they show the work of different
hands. | believe there has been no ques-
ton on which the Prince of Wales hes had
stronger views To on that OF Ireland, ard
HE opinions on the desirablity of having a
royal residence there are perfectly we'll
known. But his feelings on these matters
were not shared in higher quarters, and, to
the Princes great credit, he has never per
mitted his opinions to become known

though republicans have been retained in or
appointed to Office By the democratic ad-
ministration, nearly every one, except those
who obtained pairs went home to work
and vote against the democratic party.
Was the presence of such men at the polls,
and their work there, calculated to make
democrats exert extra efforts in behalf Of
sheir own ticket? Democrats as rule are
better than republicans. but they are still

The ACTION of the U. S. Supreme Court
last Monday in declining to hear the coun-
sci Of the State of Pennsylvania in case in
volving States rights. though it had heard
the opposing counsel, looks very much as II
that court, when it shall render its decision
in the case, will maintain its recently as
sumed ultra States rights ground. The de-
cisious ofthe U. 8. Supreme Court are the
supreme law of the land, but those decisions
are by no means like the laws of the Medes

OF the Colonel's whole report the recon-

SOME consolation may be derived from
the fact that the question of convention to
modify the constitution ofthe State has been
decided in the negative. A convention for
such purpose is very expensive affair
tbs cost of tho last one bling nearly hall
million, and az the legislature has declared
the State too poor to pay her honest debts,
she would have been placed in very awk-
ward position by her own people II they had
voted for such all expensive luxury as con-

EVERY NEGRO in Washington who, by

day, wac sent by the republicans to some
place where bis vote would be received.
The railroad and steamboat men of that
city say there never was such negro exo-

Some Of the negroes referred to who came
here were heard to enquire of members Of
their OWN race the wards in which they
were to vote and the way by which to reach
them, which, of course, showed that they
were entire strangers and had no right to
vote. The election laws should be so

Now and Then.

In the year 1872 the Democratic party
held its National Convention at Balti-
more and nominated Horace Greeley for
President. At that convention it adop-
ted the following plank on the tariff
question:
1--WE remit the discussion Of the sub
iect lprotection and free trade) to the
people in their Congressional districts
and the discussion OF Congress thereon,
WhoRy free from Erecuiirc interference or
dicidiiOn."
Now how does this resolution, resent
ing anything in the nature of Executive
interference or dictation, tally with the
urgent and exclusive message Of Presi-
dent Cleveland last December on the
subject2 Was that Executive interior
ence or dictation2 II not, what was it 2
And il not, what kind OF interference
or dictation did the Baltimore platform
have reference to?
Now contrast that resolution, declar-
ing that it was for the people OF the Con-
rressional districts to dictate and decide
this question, and not for the President,
with the declaration Of the party ut
Chicago in 1880 in favor of % tariff for
revenue only" Also with the following
declaration Of the party at Cincinnati in
1856:
"Resolrcd fnauy-Thc time has come
for the people OF the United States to de-
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-05-15

clarc themselves in favor Of free seas and
progressive free trade throughout the
world"
This was thirty-two years ago, that the
time was declared to have come for
free seas and free trade, and the
declaration shows how far ahead
the Democracy were capable OF look
ing, and what choice lot OF
statesmen they were at that time. We
should have been in fine shape to meet
the exigencies of the war had We de-
pended, as the free trade South did, on
England and Europe to supply us with
everything we needed duringthat strug-
gle instead of having the North able Of
itself to produce all that the country
required to Withstand the assault Of
secession.

individual case as Il isby the President,
the loss Is small, and especially so in
comparison to hisSl37 90 per day. But
II represents one Of the sources ofincome
ford whole year to the owner OF n small
flock OF sheep. His other sources OF in
come are also comparatively small. The
gulf between $l37 per day and SIS per
year is great; but because one has lux
uriOus abundance is no reason the
crumbs OF the other should be ignored
and taken away from him. While ii
would take the owner OF the twenty-five
sheep over seven years 10 lose us much
as the President makes in one day, yet
this sum, paltry indeed in comparison
to the other, means the price OF clothing
for seven years.
1t is an unfortunate comparison and
one that the owners OF focks OF % to 50
sheep should not overlook. Applying
the Presidents figures to one OF the
smaller counties OF Central Ohio, which
has not the natural adaptability TO sheep
raising that characterizes two-thirds OF
the counties of West Virginia, the tax-
list of that county shows in round mum.

This Mt the price Of clothing given above
would mean a loss Of one good suit OF

Presidents own figures since West Vir-
ginia is naturally adapted to sheep rails

IT is largely matter whether protect

that they are to be afforded protection.
According to the Mills bill rice growers
are to be encouraged by duty of 100
per cent, while the wool growers are to
be wiped out by taking of what little
protection they had.
