A NoTABLN CONVERT.

When a man like Senator FRYE, of
Maine, begins to hedge on the prOtec-
tonists' doctrines, it really begins to
look as if the educational campaign were
bearing fruit. In recent interview
concerning South American affairs and
the purposes of the Pan-American con-
gress, Senator FRYE said that while he
was opposed TO absolute free trade he
was in favor of a revision of the tarIh,
in order that our commercial relations
with the South American states may be
improved. He suggested removal of
the duty from sugar, from certain
grades of wool and other products OF
the South American states, with the un-
derstanding that certain products of
ours in turn be admitted by them. The
value of Senator FRYE'S suggeS-
tions lies in his admission that
the existing tariff is a barrier to
the establishment of commercial re-
Iations with other countries. The
argument of the protectiOnists has al
ways been that high tariff was in no
wise responsible for the depressed con-
dition of our foreign trade. but that it
was wholly due to the abandonment of
our former subsidy policy. EX-Presi-
dent CLEVELAND was laughed at when
he undertook to show the fallaey of this
Republican argument, but the educa-
tional campaign he inaugurated has
progressed so successfully that now one
of the high priests of protection openly
proelaims the correctness of the CLEVE-
LAND doctrine. Senator FRYE says
that he is opposed tOabsolute free trade.
That is just what Mr.. CLEVELAND said,
and what the Democratic party has con-
sistently adhered to. The Democratic
doctrine is, ana has ever been, that the
tariff bars must be lowered sufficiently
to permit us to compete with other ma
tions for the commerce of the world.
To this end the Democrats have in
sisted that the war taxes must be abol
ished, the people relieved of an unjust
burthen, and that taxation be limited
solely to the necessities of the govern
ment,

NEW ELECTION DISTRICTS.

The special committee appointed by
council to rearrange the election dis
tricts in this city will begin its work
this week. and the members of the COM
mittee will find that the task is both
delicate and difficult. The object of
the Encouragement is to establish poll
ing precincts in compliance with the re-
quirements of the new Australian law.
which provides that not more than 400
voters shall be included within one elec-
tiOr district, and that proper booths
shall be provided for the accOmmOda-
ton of the voters. By referring to the
tabulated statement printed in yester-
days GI ODE, giving the number of pre-
cinetS in each ward and the number of
votes poIled at the last general election,
1t will be seen that the average for each
precinct is very little above 400, the
maximum fixed by the new law: but the
distribution was so unequal that at
some precincts less than 200 votes were
pOlled, while at others it ran up into
the neighborhood of 500. The delicate
and difficult task the committee will
have to perform will be to correct this
inequality and to assign to each pre-
cinct. as near as may be possible, the
same number of voter.
1t has been suggested, and we are in
ehned to think that the suggestion is
good one, that the committee rarrange
the districts on the basis of 250 voters to
the precinct. This would increase the
number of polling places and entail ad
ditiOnal expense, yet the eXigencieS
would justify it. This is to be the ini-
tial experiment with the Australian sys-
TEN, and it should have the faIrest test
that it is possible to give it. The voters
are unfamiliar with the operations of
the new law, and consequently, at the
first election, more time will be con-
sumed by the individual voters in pre-
pairing and casting their ballots than
will be the case after they have become
familiar with the new election methods.
The judges and officers of the election
will be comparatively green hands at
the business, and some allowance must
be made for them. Where the system
is understood and has been in operation
any length of time, it is a very light
days work to poll 400 votes at one pre-
cinct. But for the reasons above
stated, we are of the opinion that the
allotment of $50 voters to one polling
place is as large as it should be at the
first election under the new system.

NAMES CIDER LAW.

The Republicans in Maine have al
ways been specially liberal to the prohi-
bitioniSts in granting them laws cover
ing all the freaks they could devise. At
the last session of the legislature new
twist was given the cider law, and the
first trial under it was had the other
day. A farmer had a cider press and
was extracting apple juice for his own
use. Some young men came along, and
he sold them dipper OF the juice as 1t
flowed from the apples. This was a
fragrant defiance of the laws made to
conserve the political and social fabric,
protect the moral welfare and stay the
tide of inebriety and iniquity. 1t was
in derogation of the majesty of the law,
and calculated to undermine the pillars
of constitutional liberty. Hence the
outraged law took him by the collar and
yanked him before Its august tribunal,
which fined him $50 and costs. The
sinful vender of temptation and
possible ruin to his fellows was
still Obdurate and unrepentant,
and, instead of offering to undo
his nefauOus work with emeticS,
appealed to a higher court. Probably
his conscience fails to do any consider
able duty, and he regards his crime as
venial. He fails to remember that
single apple once brought the first lady
of her land and age down to the wash
tub and raised the devir' in several
districts. 1t seems almost impossible
that there could be such moral Obtuse-
ness and lawless Obstinacy in the state
of JAMES g. BLAINE. Probably the
supreme court of the state will add new
emphasis to the legal execration of this
miscreant squeeZer of the apples, and
he will be taught wholesome lesson.

FOOD ADULTERATIoNs.

The state agents appointed to ex-
anime elements of food and the range
of things that enter into human con-
sumption are to hold their first general
meeting at Cleveland, o., next week. 1t
is expected that permanent organiza-
ton will be effected and the meetings
held annually. A good deal of valuable
information will, no doubt, be elected
at this Cleveland gathering in refer
ence to the present conditions and the
measures needed to restrain adultera-
ton. The local reports here and there
have been bringing out unpalatable and
annoying practices among the fraudu-
lent and gainful traffickers, but it has
not been noted that any effective de-
mandS for abatement in them have been
put forth. The comfort and health of
the public is largely involved, anu it is
to be hoped that general unity of action
will result from these conferences, and
names of material things will soon be-
come less delusive.

THE ROWING BLIZZARD.

The blizzard is the atmospheric rover
of late. A couple of years or less ago
it was getting in wild work about New
York city, and branch ran out into
the territories north. Now it has been
getting in disastrous blows in the South
west. The old impression that its IA
vorite roaming place was in the North
west is about dissipated. 1t struck that
big cattle range to the south hard. and
hurt badly because it was ''all of sudden
like" and not anticipated. The North
west enjoys special immunity from
elementary turmoil or extremes of any
kind, with some shortage in sections of
precipitation. Most of the vagaries of
nature that disturb the serenity of life
are found in other sections. For en-
joyable, and even model climatic con-
ditions, this new region will compare
very favorably with any other section
of sunshine.

SENATORIAL COURTESY

WADE HAMPTON has had his tilt
with holy JOHN WANAMAKER, and as
is the usual result of such encounters,
both the combatants have come out of it
in worse plight than when they started
in. 1t turns Out that Senator HAMPTON
went off half-cocked, while the phari-
Saical member Of the cabinet has had
his phylacteries badly mussed. Mr..
WANAMAKER has been so industrious
in inStilling his religious cant into the
administration, and has set such a
notable example of hypocrisy in high
places, the public will have no sympa-
thy for him on account of the genteel
currying down he got at the hands of
the South Carolina senator. On the
contrary. everybody is pleased, the ad-
minIstratiOn's friends included. Still
there is no disposition to applaud Sena-
tor HAMPTON.
His haste in hurliDg anathemas at
tle postmaster general, bef. re he had
an opportunity to inform himself of the
correctness of the Tumored change in
the Columbia postOffice, was unbecOm-
ing a man of his station. And then
there was a coarseness in both the Ian
guage and spirit of his letter which was
not expected from one who prides him
self upon being the ideal of chivalTy.
In fact, it was sorry mess that both
HAMPTON and WANAMAKER have
made of it, and the sooner they can es-
cape public observation the better it
will be for both of them.
The point ofpublic interest in this con-
troversy is the Difference that has been
shown to that fiction of congressional
life known as senatorial courtesy. Gen.
HAMPTON flew off the handle because
he imagined that his dignity as a SEN
ator had been outraged because a post
master had been appointed in his
state without consulting him. 1t
so happened that the postmaster
had not been appointed, but in explain
ing this fact the postmaster general
conceded this point of senatorial court
esy on which HAMPTON was so tOuchy
by saying that he would consult the
South Carolina senator when he got
around to the Columbia postoffice ap-
pOintment. If this is a republic. and
the American people have an idea that
it is, we would like to know by what
special right or authority this special sem
atOTial prerogatiVe has been established.
It has grown up without the form of
law, and yet it is strong enough to over
ride the constitution. 1t is an essential
feature of aristocractic government that
is sadly out of place in republic. 1t
viii be fortunate for the country five
can ever get president or a cabinet
officer who will have the nerve to tackle
this monarchical beast in its den, and
wipe 1t out Of existence. The powers
and duties of a senator are clearly

PROJECTING WATER.

In view of the early meeting of con-
gress, the special interests here and
there that want paterna protection are
meeting and formulating their schemes.
One of these that has not attracted
much attention is to convene at Chi
cago to-day. 1t is convention of those
who bottle mineral waters, to combine
against ApOllinaris. Their alleged pur-
pose is to protect the people from being
imposed on with bogus water, and con-
gress will be urged to discourage the
Importation of any mineral waters. for
the protection of the native article that
bubbles with purity and with healing in
its flow from the bosom of mother earth.
Protection from the competition with
the gatherings of pauper labor in the
old world is evidently needed. 1t is
true that water is rather numerous
article, and only labels and bottles are
needed for the trade, but great princi-
Pile is involved and should be vindi-
Gated. 1t is an American product.
