The Cranks We Have Always with Us.

The crank who knows it is sure death
to do this or that is around this year in
the usual numbers. When the hot
spell struck us in early July he shouted
at the top of his voice that no meat
should be eaten until fall. The peo-
pie, remembering, perhaps, that an.
clients ate meat regularly, and that o
few Of them, at least, escaped prema-
ture graves. went on eating meat as il
nothing had happened. After waiting
for time the crank changed his tune.
If the people were fools and wanted to
eat meat in the summer time he
couldn't help it: but he didn't intend
that they should breathe night mir.
He showed by figures and theories
without end that every man who
breathed night air was morally GER
tain to die. Many of them had an-
ticipated that end, and so they went
right on breathing night air as before.
1t was the only air they could breathe
at night, and they reasoned that it
would be better to breathe that than to
suspend operations until morning. As
general thing the people have more
sense in such matters than even the
crankiest cranks,. <ssAh -

What has become of Congressman
Osborne's little boomlet for the guberna-
torial chair? Less than a year ago he
was spoken Of more prominently for that
position than any man in the state, but
his insignifcance and uselessness was so
glaringly portrayed in his short official
career that the natural order of events
finds him in the silent depths of political
oblivion. The clammoring of his hungry
constituents fails to rouse him from his
lethargy and the ofiice-seekers of this
district are turning their attention to
more productive channels of patronage.
His ill-gotten honors have failed to bring
him the recognition he desired so much.

WASHINGTON. October 8. 1889

WASHINGTON, October 8, 1880.
Sauntering about the lobbies and parlors of
the Arlington and Normande and strolling
through the streets of Washington this week,
were number of distinguished looking men,
with that indescrbable air about them which
at once stamped them as foreigners and visitors
to the city. They were the newly-arrived del
egates to the Three Americas Congress, and
they were busily discussing the prospects of
the success of the Congress. Most of the del
egates are diplomats of prominence, having
passed the greater portion of their lives in the
diplomatic service of their respective countries.
Many of them have attended notable interna-
tional conferences and are peculiarly fitted for
the present duty. The congress was called to
order Wednesday morning and proceeded to
the State Department and presented creden-
tials to Secretary Blaine, and formal invita-
tion was extended to the delegates to make
tour of the principal cities of the United States
The invitation was at once accepted and the
trip began on Thursday. The train which car
rles the delegates is believed to be- in its ap-
pointments and in the arrangements for its
journey, without precedent in the history of
railroading. Congress appropriated Sl25, 900 for
the expenses of the convention. Under this
authority, and as preliminary to the conven-
tion, the State Department organized this tour

The annual value" of pensions has
been steadily increased, so that the
aggregate annual value, which was $685.
1907 in 1880 and $34, ,456, 900 in 1884,
was $56, 707, ,221 in 1888. Vast sums have
also been paid for arrears-perhaps over
$4,000 900 thus far. The roll is con-
stantly increased by additional names,
the net increase of the last twelve
months being more than $4,000. In
these and other ways we have reached
the prodigious annual expenditures now
made. And yet Tannerism calls out
that the people of the United States are
close-fsted in their treatment of the
veterns of the war and of their depen-
dent relatives. If billion dollars paid
thus far as pensions, with eighty or
ninety millions still going out every
year, is ingratitude, what would lavish
generosity be?-New York Times.

1t won't do-this scheme to boost

gravitation is taking Mr.. Cleveland in
the opposite direction. Philadelphia

Correct There is no place for him in
congress. The opposite direction is the
direction of the White House, and that
venerable building is fairly aching for an
occupant who is big enough to fill it,
without calling in all the rest of his
family, his wife's family and the families
of all his relations to help him. The
Press is right. Let Mr.. Cleveland rest

PRovIDNG politics in this country

which honesty, capacity and self
respect are considered the chief re-

reach to amazement in nearly all

From the ramparts of protection there
comes voice weekly that is earnestly
endeavoring to undo what it assisted in
doing last November. The trade journal
of the woolen and worsted manufact-
urers- Wdde'S Fibre and Fdb7ic-has
found that the policy of protection pro-
tects neither manufacturer nor laborer.
The change of front in this instance is
not very remarkable it is but one of the
many that is occurring daily. If protec-
tionists fail to see any cause for men to
change their views we would ask them
to give the question couple of hours
serious throught daily for few weeks,
and if they are not on the free trade
side of the political fence with both feet
by that time they should be classed
among the unconvincibleites of the
nation. Fibre and Fabric gives forth
these truths for the mastication of pro-
tectionists: The strength of country
is in its "yeomanry" its brawny laborers,
its bone and muscle. Even the natural
resources are of no value unless country
has good, healthy labor at command.
This being the case, it is but common
sense to protect that which is of the
greatest value to us. Whatever of pro-
lection may be found necessary should
be so arranged as to protect our labor
Any other method that schemers may
devise will very likely prove to be a
boomerang; we see this in the present
condition of our tariff. Things have
changed and those who thought their
ta taril plank would make them rich find
themselves struggling for existence as

The denominational newspapers
generally are advocating a change of
Thanksgiving Day from "bleak No
vember to golden October" 1t is
claimed that November was chosen
by the Puritans to bring the day
nearer Christmas, that it might in
time take the place of that festival, to
which they were strongly opposed.
But now that all Christians observe
Christmas, there is no reason for
appointing Thanksgiving so late in
the year.

PAsTEUR, the authority on hydro
phobia, is said to have declared with
emphasis before a medical society in
Paris lately that rabies is never spon-
taneous; that no dog can go mad un-
less first bitten by an animal already
infected. But how about the original
case? This is like the bewildering
problem of whether the first chicken
was hatched, and, if so, where the egg
came from.
