tribution towards an answer TO this

Cleveland on the Irish.

1t needed not the statute, which is
now the law of the land, declaring tina
"all naturaliZed citizens while in for
eign lands are entitled to and shall re-
ceive from the government the same
protection of persons and property
which is accorded to native-born citi-
zens," to voice the policy ofour nation.
In all lands where the sem blance of
liberty is preserved, the right of per-
son arrested to speedy accusation and
trial is, or ought to be, a fundamental
law, as it is rule of civilization.
AT any rate, we hold it to be so, and
this is one of the rights which we under
take to guarantee to any native born or
naturaliZed citizens of ours, whether
he be imprisoned by order of Car of
Russia or under the pretext of Il law
for the benefit of the land
ed aristocracy of England From his
speech at st. James Hall, Buffalo,
April 8. 1882. demanding the liberation
ofAmerican citizens imprisoned abroad.

The Republican monopolists are do
ing their very best to capture the lower
house of Congress and 1t behooves every
Democrat to stand squarely up and not
only vote but work for his party and
its nominees. Let not the oilytOngued
strikers sent out over the State by Boss
Filley deceive you: his cloven-feet may
be clad In the finest patent leather, but
he is the same old devil that trampled
on your rights and spat upon your pro-
tests in 1S65-70. He is working not
for you or your interests, but in behalf
of the monopolsis with whose blood
money he is paid. The ST. Louis Re
pnblie of Saturday last truly says:
Democrats III Missouri cannot be too quick
that the monopoly slush fund campaign in
Missouri is for the control of Congress and
the Legislature. The monopolists would not
spend cent to elect Kimball, and as mat
ter of fact KimbaIl is thrown overheard.
Phe fight is for Congress, and it is for Con
gress that Democrats must make it. Every
Democratic vote must be cast. In the con-
gressional districts, the party cannot afford
to spare a vote or to take anything for grant,
ed. 1t is Missouri honesty against Gates and
his Pennsylvania "boodle." The fight must
be made for all 1t is worth and made to win.
If it is so made, the Democratic party will
gain a Congressman in Missouri in spite of
monopoly money.

Harrison on the Irish.

John A. Wilson, being first duly
sworn, deposes and says that he is a
dealer in nursery stock in Bloomington,
Mclean County, ILL.,; that he is of Irish
descent, and also an ex-federal soldier
in the Mexican war; that a few days
days before the presidential election in
the year 1876 be attended Republican
meeting, held one afternoon in the
Durley Theatre of Bloomington, H.,
and that Ben Harrison, Il present Re-
publican presidential candidate, adj
dressed that meeting; that Ben HarrI-
son, during the course of his address,
spoke highly of many nationalities,
except the Irish people; that at this
point someone interrupted Harrison
and asked about the IIish and the SER
vices of Meagher. Sheridan, Shields,
Mulligan end the others; that Harri-
son said in answer to this question that
the Irish were only fit to shovel dirt
and fill the penitentiaries; affiant
further says he cannot now RENE n Der
all the abusive language Ben Harrison
then used about the Irish, but affiant
is sure of what he does claim to remem.
Der. Aftiant further says that the man
who raised the question was put out of
the hall. JOHN A. WILSON.

The New York Sun says: 1.-THE ex-
else tax said Jefferson, lis an Internal
tax Thus spoke the original sage Of
Democracy" But this was not the
sage's sober second thought. Upon
further reflection, later in life, on May
8, 1923, Jefferson said:
/ shall he glad, too, if an additional
tax of one-fourth of a dollar a gallon
on whiskey shall enable us to meet all
engagements with punctuality. View
ing that tax as an article i'm system

considered as prematurely and unnec-

ton of body and mind which the
cheapne>s Of this liquor is spreading
through the mass of our citizens now
calls the attention of the legislator Oh
a very different principle. One of his
important duties is as guardian of
those who, from CAUSES susceptible of
precise definition, cannot take care of
themselves. Such are infants, mani
acs, gamblers. drunkards. The last as
much as the maniacs, requires restrict
i've measures to save him from the fa-
tai infatuation under which he is de-
strOying his health. his morals, his
family. and his usefulness to society.
One powerful obstacle to his ruin by
his selfindulgence would be a price
beyond his competence. AS SAM
tary measure, therefore, it becomes
one of duty in the public guardians.

When the Republicans were in pow
er in this State, they were in favor of
''a free ballot and fair count" were
they not? They made the ballot ''free"
by DISTINGUISHING enough Democrats
to leave a Republican majority, where
ever possible. Their ballot was so
''free" in Carter county that when the
registering officer got through he did
MT have enough voters on his list to
fill the offices! That is to say, there
were only five Republicans in the
county-and the Stree" ballot was for
Republicans only, whenever that con-
Summation in its ideality could be ac-
complished. And then when it came
to the "count'! Judge Dining. with
800 majority, for circuit judge; Thos.
II. Macklind, with 500 for circuit attor-
ney; Thos Essex for State Senator
these all got the benefit of a "fair
count" according to the Republican
idea. So with Democratic candidates
for county offices: their fate was de-
cided before election day, where that
was possible: where not possible, the
''fair count" laid them out beyond the
hope of resurrection. Is there a Dem
ocrat in Missouri to-day whose brains
are so added with forgetfulness that
he can be induced to vote the Repub-
lican ticket?

number of suitable ones to choose
from. Comparisons would be invid-

reflections. The outgoing members

A Baseless Charge.


seattle ItHt6sl
The St. Louis convention declared
that the territories of Washington,
Dakota, Montana and New Mexico
are, by virtue of population and de
velopment entitled 10 admission INTO
the Union as states, and we unGuaii-
tiedly condemn the republican party
in refusing statehood and self gov
ernment to their people,"
The Yakima Signal rises to say
that this is one OF the expressions of
the recent democratic convention,
which shows that If the Wishes of the
party could be fulfilled, Washington
territory would not yearn in vain for
statehood"
II there is any one thing which is
patent above all others, which the
whole people of every terr tory, en-
titled by reason of population tc
statehood, know, it Is that the demo
cratic party alone Is responsible fol
their n0nadmission. The republican
senate stands ready to pass enabling
acts, Tor admission of five states i'm
mediately. The democratic party
proposes to pass law which, after
the adoption of constitutions by foui
territories, will still require another
law to perfect their admission. In
other words, which will place it in
the power OF the democratic major
ity III the house to admit democratic
aaa keep out republican states 10y
second enabling act in the first
case aud denying it in the latter.
This thimble rigging scheme viii
not work. 1t was never proposed be-
fore and would not be now, did the
democratic party intend to deal fair,
ly.
Up to this time there has never
been i. serious effort made by the
democrats 10 admit 4 single territory
since it came into control of the low,
er pranch of congress. 1t fears &
admit Dakota and Washington be
cause they are republican. 1t ism
sure about Montana, but thinks i
democratic, and to save possible
point purposes to admit New Mexic,
whose people are not at all anxiou
for statehood and which is still NUN
erically deficient i'll population aut
equally so in developed resources
The charge against the republican
party Is false, and the Signal know
It as well as did the st. Louis con
yention.

Baptist Commission.

Perhaps the most important work
accomplished by the Baptists at the
annual session which aajour led on
Saturday at Tacoma, was that of Or
ganizing an educational commission,
which contemplates the establishment
of a first-class academy at Centralia
and a university at some point less
than twenty-five miles from point
midway between Seattle and Tacoma
Propositions will be received by
either member of the commission
during the present month, SO framed
as to hold good for thirty days, during
which time the commission will de
eide such case upon it's merits. Pro-
positions may be either by absolute
or conditional gift, as some gifts will
depend entirely upon the location.
The following are the members of
the educational commissions: Rev.
III. L. Rugg, of Victoria, B. c.; Ed
win Rand, Of New Westminster; Rev.
ID. j. Pierce and Hon. r. 5. Greene,
of Seattle, and Rev. A. B. Banks, Of
Tacoma.
