his mere word, especially when the accuser
has just been suspended from fat office.
We rather like Congressman FELToN's
way of stating his reason for signing the
request forCoNRAD's removal. TheRepresen-
tative had nothing against the gentleman
personally, but didn't like special agents,
they made so much trouble. The Congress
man right. AS general proposition it may
be stated that the special agent is a special
nuisance He sets out with the idea that it
is his duty to scandalize somebody, and he
proceeds on the theory that all officials are
scoundrels. 1t is very rare that his inves-
tigation is fair and impartial, and more sci
dom that his report is a truthful statement
of the case. Utah has had good deal tc
do with special agents, and very little good
has come from them. AS a rule they have
been either incompetent or unfair. They
have almost invariebly been accused, with
some grounds, of favoritism, and there
have been instances where they have been
charged with accepting money to suppress
facts, and get those they came to investi-
gate out of scrapes.
Until Mr.. CONRAD can show that he is
not actuated by spite, and can prove by
other evidence than his own assertion that
his removal was due to the fact that he
was performing his duty, we are not going
to believe that such men as Gov.
rnor STANFORD, Senator HEARST, the
California Congressman and the secretary
of the interior corruptly conspired to
crush him and save some scoundrels from
punishment

A DISGRUNTLED AGENT.

The removal Of Special Agent CONRAD,
of California, which was a sensational
feature in Saturday mornings Geographic
news. will be made the most of by politi-
clans, being worked for all it is worth by
the anti administration party. THE HERALD
is in hearty sympathy with the national
Democratic party, but we are going to ac-
cept Secretary NoBLE's explanation of the
removal of the agent, and to believe that
the bouncing of CONRAD was the proper
thing to do. We are impelled to this by
the character of the fight which the gentle
man is waging. He assails the rich cor
porations and individuals of California, as
if they were gang of thieves, and by i'm
plication if not by direct accusation,
charges, congressman, Senators and ad-
ministration officials with corruption and
with conspiracy to, protect rogues who
have been robbing the government. 1t
should be very serious matter to accuse
men as CONRAD has accused Senators

further considered that the last national
platform of the Republican party is against
the surrender of any part of the present
system of protection" and would rather
flood US with free whisky and overrun US
with free tobacco than submit to any such
surrender, the question must assume irk-
some proportions. But it was undoubtedly
easier to explain away anything else than
the great protectionist BLAINE, as premier
of the HARRISON administration, presiding
tendencies and objects must have been in
the direction of fewer restrictions upon
commerce if it had any tendencies at all.
The Republican party learns slowly, but
in the course of human events it has to get
to it sooner or later, generally later.

FREE-TRADE REPUBLICANISM.

"Will the United States asks the Chi
cago Tribune, Republican organ, "agree
to let their the South American states
raw wool, copper, ores, fruits, tobacco, su-
gar, etc, come in free If not, how can
they be expected to materially increase
their trade with this country gu This is a
very pertinent question, and it opens up an
immense field of investigation regarding
the industrial measures and commercial re-
lations of this country, more materially as
relates to its dealing with its neighbors.
1t is an open and unconcealed fact that
some of the Republican organs in the west,
apart from the one quoted, are beginning
to inquire of the thick and thin de-
tenders and opponents of the pre-
sent tariff in what way it can be
expected that trade with South America
could be promoted until the prevailing tariff
is scaled down generally, and removed al
together as to some things, notably raw
materials such as previously mentioned.
1t is even admitted that after the question
OF cheap and improved communication as
between the countries is settled, it will still
be necessary to lower the tariff on the
products of those nations, which must
strike the average reader who studies as he
reads as very high grade of wisdom COM
ing at the eleventh hour.
The Republican party is in quandary
and its press is endeavoring vainly to help
it out. The authority quoted-the Chicago
Tribunc-has all along had leaning
to the side of reason in this i'm
portant matter, but it has not heen
permitted to carry it's ''vagaries" too far
and has always managed to keep in the
traces without any considerable amount of
kicking. The unwashed and ungodly
Globe Democrat, of st. Louis, has likewise
shown disposition to listen to the dictates
of reason and give heed to the clamors for
the greatest good to the people of the great
producing sections in the interior, but it
has not gone to the same length that its
Chicago contemporary has. In a recent
issue the CD. says that "any compact
which we may enter into to increase this
trade with those countries will undoubtedly
involve some reduction of our duties so far
as regards the goods of the other parties to
the agreement" 1t is then asked
how, with such a man as COLUMBUS
DELANo and DAVID HARPsTER, of Ohio,
standing in the way of any reduction OF
raw wool duties, we are ever to do any
thing in that direction! And when 1t is

THE JoHNsTowN SUFFERERS.

1t was thought and hoped that the ap
palling catastrophe at Johnstown, Penn
sylvania, a few months ago, was so COM
plete in it's horror and conclusive in its
destructiveness that there would be moth
ing more to tell after its tale was told
This is not the case, and has not been for
any length of time. The people who suf-
fered and lost so much by that awful visi-
tation have never seen moment since in
which they were not in the deepest want,
and the walls that come from them are
heart rending in the greatest extent, all
the more so from the fact that in the hands
of the grossly miscalled relief committee
of that state there is yet something like
81, 100000 of funds contributed by the
great-hearted, large souled American peo-
pie to alleviate the sufferings by the food,
so far as money could accomplish such a
purpose.
An eastern paper discussing thislsubiect,
speaks out very plainly, saying that 'ac-
cording to the last report of this wretched
committee that was the amount for which
they were accountable, but their extraor-
binary delay in applying the money to the
uses for which it was intended is enough
to justify the suspicion that the funds may
have been squandered or stolen. To appro-
pirate to their own personal use the funds
contributed by charitable people for the
relief of the suffering would hardly be any
greater crime than to withhold it for
months from those for whom it was in
tended. The matter has become public
scandal, and the patience with which the
people of Pennsylvania, whose honor is in
degree involved, submit to its contirlu-
ance is hardly less remarkable than the de
termination with which the miscalled
state relief commission continues to hang
on to the money which was designated for
the immediate relief of the suffering"
Governor BEAVER, of Pennsylvania, is
chairman of that committee, and his
"labors'' have all along been characterized
by an utter absence of humane feeling and
sincere regard for the wants of the suffer
ers, so far as visible signs can make up such
personal condition. He has all the time
shown preference for red tape formulas
and seDseless ceremonies while the situa-
ton demanded vigorous, common-sense,
timely action. If he and his associates are
not rascals, they have acted so much like
that gentry in this particular case that
those who have mistaken them for such
have made very natural mistake indeed.

cure the place for his son JAMES G. Jr.

that Democrat goes to Washington from
