sentiment becomes general when
the farmers of every State realize,
for example, that the system of fed
eral taxation for the past two de-
cades has been directly against
their interest and has tended to
build up and foster other Industries
and impoverish the farmer, then
away will go high protection, the
revenues will be brought down to
the necessities Of the government,
the tax on living will be reduced,
and trusts will be unknown. The
people are becoming educated and
when the farmer takes hand in
politics we may expect to see the
end Of this robbery under the guise
of protection, speedily reached.
This IL Not n City.
1t is a favorite remark of those
who oppose local improvements that
"this is not city"
Not icing city, the conclusion is
that IL is out of order for us to
aspire to anything like public con
veniences and the acquisitions of
our advancing civilization.
Being town we ought to be con
tent to remain town. We ought
not to go near the water till we learn
to swim.
Now, we have NO objection to the
conclusion that we are yet town.
We admit that we are very small
town.
But we do deny most emphatical-
ly that VIC are satisfied with our
growth; that we have no aspiration
to be anything more; that, indeed,
we are not ambitious to be a city
some day.
We don't aspire at present to all
the appointments and appliances of
a great city, but we do want to keep
up with the back towns. We would
have those remember who are com
planning of the rate of our advance
ment, that the back town of to-day
has more comforts and conveniences
than the city had fifty years ago.
In the matter of gas, water works,
and sewerage, for example, it was
only the large cities that aspired to
those things few years ago, but
now the town that does not have
them is rated as "back number"
We are small but we are pert.
We want to keep up with the back
town.
"Wc are not city,"
No. But we will be in the sweet

The Republicans propose to make
desperate effort to carry Virginia
at the coming fall election. Malone
is the head Of the party by virtue Of
the recognition which he has receiv-
ed at Washington; but an effort has
been made to conciliate the anti
Malone faction by giving good off,
ces to one or two OF its leaders.
How far this reconciliation has
extended, it is not possible now to
determine; but it is a significant
fact that one prominent Republican
to whom the office Of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney was rendered, refused
to accept it, because he was unwill-
ing to receive an appointment upon
Mahone's recommendation.
Much more significant, however,
than any attempt to restore good
feeling among the warning office
seekers, is the announcement that
the Northern Republicans propose
to pay the expenses Of the campaign.
This means that corruption is to be
relied on as the one agency TO con-
vert the State from Democracy to
Republicanism. Money is the one
argument upon the potency of which
the Republicans will rely. Blocks
of five" will be introduced there, and
are expected to accomplish results
such as were obtained in Indiana
last fall.
1t is true that the news also comes
that protection is also TO be made a
prominent issue by the Republicans.
The interest of Virginia in protec-
ton is not large, as her industries
are not of a character to make many
of her people very solicitous on this
subject. Its Introduction into the
State campaign there has very diff
ferent purpose. The object, of course,
is to "fry the fat" out of protected
manufacturers in other States
They are expected to furnish the
money to pay the election expenses
which the Virginia Republicans will
incur. They woull take no particu-
lar interest in the conversion of Vir-
ginia to Republicanism on the State
issue alone; but when the protective
system is put in issue, and the peo-
pie of Virginia are asked to pass
upon it, the manufacturers are ex-
pected to be ready to contribute the
arguments that proved SO effective
in Indiana.
Doodle is the one Republican ar
gument. BY it they regained power
and by it they expect to retain su.
premacy.-Courie,' Journal.

a suit that is of Indifferent style. in
ferior quality, or ill-htting. One
OF the reasons that some men feel
awkward in dress suit, is that they
can't feel at home in it. The suit
is tight F.; it drags, pulls, or wrinkles,
and the mind is, SO to speak, con-
stantly oppressed by the sense of
physical discomfort. There is no
reason for this condition of things.
If after all the progress and expert
ence in clothing the human BODY
clothes can't be made to fit easily
and gracefully, it is time to quit or
go to school. We offer our Gus
toners line ofgoods in dress suits
that are made in the best style of

The city Of Chicago is making
hard fight for the world exposition
IN 1892. While it is reasonable that
any large city would like to have the
honor and profits to such huge af-
fair as that is sure to be, it is very
unreasonable that any city Of the
United States should wish to take
it from the National Capital, where
it properly belongs.

SO far, by Mr. Clarkson's own ad.
mission, there have been fifteen
Thousand changes in the postofIices
OF the country during five months
Of the present administration. This
is an average of over one hundred
for every working day. The rate of
progress has varied, however; on
Tuesday as many as one hundred
and forty. eight postmasters came
uuder the guillotine. One curious
feature of the business is the fact
that Mr.. Wanamaker's efficient
headsman points with pride" to the
record, and takes occasion to resent
an erroneous statement that only
ten thousand officials have suffered
decapitation. But how are these
sweeping changes to be reconciled
with the declaration of the Chicago
platform on the subject of civil ser
vice reform? 1t was insisted then
that the Democrats were much to
blame for demoralizing the service

As II rule, the West Virginian
who is drawn to the West in search
of the fabulous Ell Dorado, or of
some fertile plain where cereals are of
spontaneous growth yield an i'm
mense harvest, come back after a
few years and settles down on his
humble farm, better satisfied with
his surroundings and opportunities
here. He finds the country created
more upon an equality than he sup
posed and taking everything into
consideration, if any part of it has
been particularly favored, it is
West Virginia. Land may be more
suitable for cultivation in the west,
but building and fencing material is
scarce and the country is not near
SO healthy there as here The man
who was reared in the pure air
of the West Virginia hills and has
quaffed the limped waters of her
mountain streams, can never endure
the arid winds of the western plains
nor tolerate the stagnant waters of
the swamps. West Virginia is the
State above all others in which to be
healthy and happy and grow rich.
The man who goes out to find a
better country will come back a
poorer man but wiser man and de-
clare that this is the best and most
favored country under the sun.-In-
der.

the work done well that is supposed
to be done marked improvement

II there is one man in the South
who is more corrupt and uncrupu-

is VIM. Malone. His record has
nothing about it that is pure or good
or noble, and it is covered over with
rascality and dishonesty. And yet,
in order to break the "solid south"
the present Administration is hand
in hand with this same William.
No comment is necessary; save that
it isn't going to be broken this time.

Northern counties in England.
Ga that day tho men parade the

WILL LOBBY WITH THE SIOUX.

DR.. Bland Threatens to Incite Them
Against Giving up Their Lands.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Dr. Bland and
the Indian Defense association have begun
crusade against the acceptance by the
Sioux of the agreement tor the cession of
their lands. Two months ago committee
Of the association addressed letter to
Secretary Noble asking him to construe
the 18th section of the Sioux bill, and de-
eide whether the cost of schools for 20
years and of the cattle and agricultural
implements therein provided for was to be
deducted from the proceeds of the sale of
the lands. The secretary declined to
answer further than to say that the gov.
ernment would be just. DR.. Bland is now
going to make an issue on this point, and
he even threatens to "prevent" the Indians
from signing.
