Sim Coy Upheld by Harrison.

All that is said in partisan news
papers with regard to the attitude of
the National Administration towards
the culprits who have made election
laws in Indiana a farce can not be
seriously considered, but it is quite
certain that the exercise of clemency
towards such a man as the convicted
leader. Sim Coy, will excite much I'M
favorable comment in quarters which
can not be wisely ignored by President
Harrison and those near to him. The
country has not either forgotten or
forgiven the extraordinary means TAX
en- to shield Dudleyism from exposure,
and very many severe suggestions are
now sure to arise in minds other
wise friendly. The ends of justice
would not have been over-reached if
Coy had been compelled to take his
punishment to the end. His course
was that of fragrant defiance of law
and decency, and an example should
have been made of him to the utmost
limit allowable. To let up on such an
enemy of the purity of the ballot is
very discouraging beginning for any
Administration, much less one that is
supposed to have no utilization with
men of low-down political methods,
North or South. -Philadelphia Tele.

The honor shown Mr.. Cleveland was
well deserved. In reading his remarks
n contrast between the late Admins
tration and the present one is made
almost instinctively, and this contrast
adds great strength to the Democratic
position.
The address of Mr.. Cleveland was
characteristics; showing earnest con-
viction and an abiding faith in the
people. Few public men have rested
SO confidently their cause on the right
judgment Of the people; few, in other
words. have held more strongly to the
principles of Democracy. NJ: Cleve-
land is entitled to the regard, not of
the party alone. but of all good citizens
regardless of party. That he will in
time have this confidence to a degree
equaled only by few who have filled
the high position from which he has
retired, we do not doubt. One can
say this. and much more, in praise and
admiration of Mr.. Cleveland without
intimating that he alone is to be con-
sidered as the nominee of the party
three years hence. But certainly Mr..
Harr ison's Administration has not
diminished in the least the chances of
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination. Who
ever is nominated will have the en-
thusiastic support of a united party,
for he must represent its truest
aspirations, and make plain its pur-
poses concerning the issues of the
time.-Louisv ille Courier-Journal.

That Is the Latest Name Applied to Ben
Harrison's First-BOrn.
Richard F. Negley, a leading Re-
publican of Montana, has written a
letter to the President, in which he
says:
1t was the impertinent in:ermeddling OF your
son in Montana politics that assured the Dem
ocrats control OF our constitutional conven-
ton. 1t was his bartering of Federal offices in
Montana, some of them for private gain, and
others for private pique, that will permit the
Democrats to send n member of the House of
Representatives and two Senators to Wash
ington next December.
II you had considered the appointment OF
Federal officers in Montana as grave public
trust devolved upon you by the constitution,
instead of comforting it upon your son as a
private perqusite, to be disposed of as he saw
fit, Democratic prospects in Montana would
not now be SO glowing.
Prince Russell seems to be about as
heavy load for the Administration to
carry as Dudley himself. His per-
formanccs as an office-broker have
been especially scandalous, bua as the
St. Louis Republic we'll says, ''he is
merely part of the general disregard
for the decencies and proprieties
which characterizes this Administra-
tion." However, if he has been in
any way instrumental in putting Mon
tana into the Democratic ranks, we
can afford to view his offenses chart

Alabana's Natural Bridge.

High up in the crest of the mount
aims on the Birmingham. Sheffield e
Tennessee railroad there is to be found
one of Natures wonders 1t il nat
ural bridge, as complete, as perfect.
as symmetrical. and in some essentials
more remarkable than the great nat
ural bridge of Virginia. The bridge
lies between the stations of Lynn and
Delmar. It is about fifty-eight miles
from Sheffield and twenty-nine miles
from Jasper. Its length from abut-
ment to abutment is one hundred and
seventy-five feet. It's width is twenty
five feet, and the thickness ranges from
four to six feet. It is of pure sand
stone. and has no doubt stood the cli-
matte changes of ages. Leaning over
the bridge you see in the ravine which
it spans, some sixty-five feet below.

springs OF clear limpid water which

THE CLEVELAND DINNER.
How Its Success Has A Affected the Dream
of Republican Leaders.

How Its Success Has Affected the Dreams
of Republican Leaders.
The dinner given by representative
Democrats of New York to Mr.. Cleve-
land has disturbed the dreams of a
number of the Republican leaders.
Any evidence of popular faith in the
ex-President; any testimony to the
value of his public services; any pro-
test against the methods which govern
this Administration, arouses all man
ner of bitterness among the gentlemen
who are asserting that the election of
Mr.. Harrison means new lease of
power for twenty-five years.
But nothing is certain in politics.
Three years before the election of Mr..
Cleveland President of the Unikad
States he was quiet. unassuming
citizen OF Buffalo. We have been told
that certain things can not be done be-
cause they have never been done. The
New York Sun says the Democrats
didate, which would prove nothing if
it were true, but it is not. Andrew
jackson was defeated when first cam
didate, and his defeat made his nomi-
nation certain.
We suppose our esteemed contem.
porary will admit that MIR. Tilden's
failure to secure the Presidency in
1876 did not justify the party in fail
ing to demand that he should accept
the nomination in 1880.
1t will not do to be constantly con-
structing, or reconstructing, history
to suit our desires for the future.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland is to receive
the nomination in 1892 can not be de-
cided one way or the other just yet.
There is time enough for such de-
cision, and we doubt not that the mat
ter will be wisely decided at the proper
time.
1t is little too early to consider the
nomination. The duty of action rests
on the Republicans; they must take
the initiative just now, and the record
they are making in every executive
Office naturally fills the Democrats
with hope and with confidence

Republican organs are to-day
forced to cry out in Indignation against

The wool season approacheth,

as high as the Republican press and

understand they would be if they only

greatly increased prices for their
products. 1t is truly to be hoped they

The temerity of the citizens of
Montana in voting that new State back

Republican editors. One of them is
magnanimous enough, however, to
say that even if the Republicans had

ONE CENTURY AGO.

When Farmers Had to Do without Now.
ers, Reapers and Leaders.
The farmer did not have a mower
and reaper then. Although Pliny the
elder, who was born A. ID. %, describes
machine to reap grain which was
used in Gaul, it was not until the pres
ent century that these machines came
into use. PliDy says of the Gaulic
reaper: I'm the extensive fields in the
lowlands of Gaul vans [carts] of large
size. with projecting teeth on the edge.
are driven on two wheels through the
standing grain by an OK yoked in q
reverse position. In this manner the
ears are taken off and fall into the
van." The first patent for reaping
machine in England was taken out in
1899. 1t was not until 1922 that a
machine was made by school-master
named Henry Ogle, which may have
become the model of all subsequent
reapers. His continuance was very
simple, and upon trial cut fourteen
acres of grain a day. But this ma
chine met an untimely end. Mr.. Ogle
writes of it that 'some working people
to kill MIR. Brown, the man
who made it, if he persevered any fur
Their in it, and it hasnever been more
tried" The oldest known machine
still in use was invented in 1926 by Mr.
Bell, a Scotch minister. This reaper
was improved in 1884. Whether Amer
lean inventors obtained their ideas
from these foreign machines is a mat
ter of dispute. But the reaper has
taken the romance out of the haying-
field. Haying-time used to be the
pleasantest on the farm, and no sight
was more beautiful than line of
sturdy men gracefully swinging the
scythe in the tall grass. The mower,
the tedder, the horse-rake and loader
have made the haying season as prosy
as hoeing potatoes. News.

a SINGULAR BELIEF.
The Era of AIT ecs and What Its Termina

The Era of AIT ecs and What Its Termina
ton Signified.
The period of fifty-two years formed
a complete era for the Aztecs, and they
questioned whether at the end of that
period the great heavenly clock, hav-
ing performed its revolution, might
not stop forever. This era menaced a
considerable number of the population
once in their lives, and some OF them
perhaps twice. The night on which
the fifty-second year would expire was
a solemn moment to them, and was
signalized by extinguishing the sacred
fires in tho temples and those on pri-
vate hearth-stones, and by breaking
all vessels that had contained prOvi-
sions; and the evening was passed in
darkness, with trembling and fear.
The day was in November. when the
Pleiades would eliminate at midnight,
and this moment was the termi-
nation of the century. AS the hour APP
peared, the human victim was sacri-
feed, and the sticks were rubbed over
his still quick body for striking the fire
for his funeral pile and the Inaugural
ton of the new era Men were wait
ing with torches ready to be lighted.
with which the new fire was to be dis
tributed to all the provinces. The
moment of midnight was hailed with
shouts of joy. The world had not come
to an end. and men could hope that il
would last at least through another
era Those who could not attend the
public ceremonies watched kneeling
on the roofs of their houses. The sec
ular festival was suppressed by the

ing been sacrificed on the pyramid OF
Tlaloc in 1901. c. Houzeau, in Pop.

Scandalous and ReprehensibIe.

The continuance by which apprais-

suaded, by no matter what manipula-
ton, to report to the collectors that
worsted cloths are manufactures of
wool, although ever since 1924 and
earlier such fabrics have been uni
formly reported as manufactures of
worsted, is too bold and transparent to
mislead any taxpayer, even the most
stupid. The methods and the result
of this intrigue are as scandalous and
reprehensible as it would be if the

OPENING THEIR EYES.
Protectionists Beginning to See That

Protectionists Beginning to See That the
Present Tariff /. Humbug.
The Fact that the very disasters
which the tariff shriekers predicted as
certain to follow Cleve!and's re-elec-
ton are coming thick and fast.
although Harrison is in the White
House. is opening the eyes of thou
sands OF people to the fact that the
present protective tariff is, for the
most part, a humbug and a swindle.
Wade's Fiber and Fabric. an able
trade journal. which supported Har-
rison vigorously on the tariff issue, no
doubt voices the curiosity of a great
multitude of deluded victims of mo-
nopoly sophistry, when it wants to
know ''where are the good times
that Harrison s election was to bring.
1t says: 1--WE were led to believe
that If the party of high protection
secured control of the Government,
We would then, very soon, have good
times. We are firm believer in pro-
tecting American Industries if it could
be done under the guidance of honest
statesmen, but in the hands of quack
politicians terrible work is made of
protection" It is indignant at the
folly of the manufacturers and grow
ers OF wool in combining to continue
the tariff on wool, ''when any one can
see, if he will, that free wool would
be great move toward honest pro-
lection This was the kind of pro-
lection that the Mills bill proposed to
give the wooden industries Of the coun-
try by giving them untaxed raw
materials. honest, scientific. legitimate
protection.
The National Labor Tribune, of Pitts
burgh, which preached Harrison and a
high tariff to working-m in the last
campaign, has also discovered that pro-
lection does not protect any body but
capitalists. It calls the attention of
its readers to the fact that at the pres
ent price Of steel rails in London, with
freight from London to Pittsburgh
added, the cost laid down in Pitts
burgh would be $27.21 ton without
the tariff of $17. The Allegheny Besse-
mer Company, of Pittsburgh, has just
taken a contract for rails at $26 a ton,
or less than the English price without
including duty. The National Labor
Tribune wants to know why the Allie
gheny Bessemk' Company cut so much
under American prices and therefore
compelled a reduction of wages in
stead of maintaining rates and giving
part of the SIT ton protection to
American workmen. It very natural
ly concludes that the SIT duty is a
s'howling sarcasm and an outrageous
fraud
All over the country trade and labor
journals are talking in the same strain
as Wade's Fiber and Fabric and the
National Labor Tribune. The logic
Of events is opening their eyes-and
we hope the eyes of the readers-to
the folly and wickedness of our Chi
nese system of taxation. The lies
and sophistries of the protectionist
demagogues will not ''go down" in
1892 with tens of thousands of voters
who eagerly swallowed them last
ear.-1ndianapolis Sentinel.
