Some Democrats at Washington pro-
fess to have reason for believing that Mr..
Oberly's successor on the civil service
commission has been selected, and that
his name is j. Proctor Knott, of Ken
lucky. Kentucky is where Colonel
Watterson, the star-eyed goddess and the
bows in the trenches live. Mr.. Knott is
a very agreeable gentleman, who once
made an amusing speech in congress and
has since served his state acceptably as
governor. His views as to the reforms
begun and talked about in the civil SER
vice are presumably better known to his
intimates than they are as yet to the
public.

Touching the joint meeting between
the Democrats and Prohibitionists which
should have occurred at Durand, Illinois,
a special correspondent telegraphs from
Rockford, Sept. 2Sth, that it was not a
joint meeting but joint debate. and de-
nounces Caldwell, who sent the New
York papers the hand bill which the
EAGLE published yesterday as being a
mighty mean man. That is the other
side Of the controversy and can be taken
for lust what it is worth. The EAGLE
knows nothing Of the reliability OF the
authority on either side, but we have no
doubt that neither the Democratic or the
Prohibition speakers failed to roundly
abuse the Republican party.

WHO GETS THE TARIFF TAX.

AS TO the laborer, | say plainly that
il the tariff on pig metal was 300 a
ton and every cent of il went into my
own pocket, l would hire my men in
the open market as cheap as | could.
If l wanted 200 and found 400 sitting
about, l should get them cheap. If 400
were wanted and but 200 to be had, |
should pay them their price. There
is, in my opinion, no more relation
between the price of wages and a pro-
tective tariff than between it and the
transit OF Venus. Every manufacturer
who is willing to tell the truth knows
this. No man buys sugar OF Jones for
10 cents that he can purchase of john
son for sand the manufacturer does
not live who pays more for labor than
will secure it. It's not common sense
to suppose he would. If he be philan-
thropically inclined he will do some
thing very different-endow some in
stitution for the benefit of his workmer
or their families or establish baths
reading rooms, ETC., but never will he
pay more for wages than supply and
demand compel him to.-Edwin s
Noble, of the Elk Rapids Iron Com
pany.

by FIRE. The imposing structure,
which cost in the neighborhood OF
800, 900, was totally obliterated. The
insurance was not more than O~ne-fourth

BY the late General Doris for n home
stead and remained in the possession OF

six years ago, when Russell Brown,
grandson of Mrs. Doris, assisted by
Pat McGlew, Il Chicago bartender,
smothered his grandmother TO death in
order to secnre some money and jew
elry to continue a debauch he and
McGlew had been on for some time
prior. The youthful murderers were
convicted and sentenced to fifteen
years each in the penitentiary at Jeffer'
son City, the trial attracting widespread
attention at the time. Russell Brown
escaped from the penitentiary III is
still At large. Pat McGlew died within
the prison walls some two years since
The mansion has of late been utilized
as a house OF public entertainment
being in the extreme western portion
of the city, and the resort is the mos
widely known of any st. Louis public
house, owing to the tragic history con

An ex .hange asks:-"How did 1t
happen that while protected workmen
in the great manufacturing centers OF
the country were piling up maioritles
for tariff reduction, the farmers and
grangers, who have no protection, were
standing firm by the 'home market
theory, and by their votes thrust upon
the highly protected workmen a pro-
lection which, if their votes are cor
rectly interpreted, they do not want!'
There are several explanations of the
seeming incongruity. l.. The "pro-
tected" operative knows that he is not
perfected but imposed upon by a high
tariff. 2. The managers OF the democra-
tic campaign tearing that he did not sp.
pr~eciate this expended its efforts in

ingman, thinking that the interests OF
the farmer in a lower tariff were too
manifest to need demonstration. In
this the mistake lay in the fact that the
northern farmers were previously mis-
educated on the question. But over
and above this partial explanation,
there is another:-3. In the cities the
bloody shirt has lost its hold, and the
people are ready to consider economic
questions, whilst in the country, in the
north, the memories of the war are
kept green, and the ensanguined gar
ment is still powerful enough to over
shadow questions of finance and taxa

Missouri took the first prize at the
recent educational convention at San
Francisco, while Massachusetts came
in second. Colorado, so far as is
known, came in nowhere. This is
respectfully referred to the cheerful
idiot of the Denver Republican, who
brands Missouri as barbarous, because
crimes are committed within Its bor-
ders. Perhaps if the C. j. knew that
the Bald Knobbers are republicans, in
republican counties, and that If the laws
are not enforced in some instances
against them it Is because of the remiss-
ness of republican officials, he might
60 q little slower in his wholesale and
idiotic denuncistions. The man who
advances the idea that Missouri is less
~law-abiding than Colorado must be a
numbskull of unusual proportions.

legislature will stand on joint ballot 46

independent. AT no time has there
been any doubt of the election of the

1000 majority. The republicans on
centrated all their efforts and resources
in the personal contest of Gen. Gotl Tor

would have been elected to the United
