SENATOR WADE HAMPTON was
asked at Washington the other day /,
whether he thought there was a grow
ing protection sentiment 10 the south.
He feplied that there was not, and that
the tendency was more likely to be the
other way, especially in the mining and
manufacturing districts. THE inter
ests of Virginia, Tennessee and Ala
bama. particularly, are advanced, y
said the senator, ''by low duties. They
can produce iron and coal much cheap
er than they can in the east, and pro-
lection only assists the east to keep a
rivalry against these states. The less
protection the more capital there will
be to develop the Industries of the
SOUTH Senator Hampton has made
a careful study of the great economic
questions of the day, and if his obser-
vations are well grounded, the hope
which the protectionists entertain of
dividing the south on the tariff ques
ton is without foundation.-K. G.

WE admire the pluck of the Salina
Republican, which though it is '.radi-
cal republican, - will not wear~'a ring
in it's nose and squeal whenever boss

enough and argues brave spirit, but
-ah! there it is again; these miserable
butts will pop i'll every now and then
to spoil our prettiest pies, beAstly bugs
that they are. But, as we were saying
would that it could be left unsaid-but
these spurts of independence and
bravery in few of our Kansas jOurn-
alists never occur but in ''off years"
when they are as iunocuous as the chirp
of tomtit. These rebellion" SO
called are nothing more than ridicu-
lous tributes which remors5 pays to
folly perpetrated in presidential years.

courage of your convictions, and kept

year, you would now be saved the
trouble of making yourselves ridiculous
with your measly little rebellion.

DIsCOURAGTNGA NITUATIor


Governor Fifer of Illinois appointed
some time ago committee of two in
telligent aud capable gentlemen to in
Vestigate the case of the strikin g
miners in that state. The committee
has just reported, and the report is a
rather discouraging one. They find
that there are 10000 idle miners on d
strike since last March. Counting
their families, there are 10000 souls
now dependent on charity. Before the
strike they were getting on an average
s94 cents a ton. Their average month
~ wages amounted to S31. 81. Under
the 10 per cent reduction ordered in
March, they would earn, says the COM
mittee, only $2S.O 90 a month, a less sum
then any man can work for who has a
family to support, or a less sum than
the average wages in the open air. Yet
small as they are, these wages are sub
| ject to dimiuution, the miner being
compelled to spend part of it in pay
| ing for oil, powder and squibs, the
/ sharpening of tools and small assess
ments for the care of the sick, etc.
On the other, hand, the committee
finds that the niue operators, who are
organized, of course into an ASSOCIATION
with head quarters at Chicago, cat
not, under existing conditions, afford
to pay any higher wages than they
offer. There you have condition of
things hard 20 get over. The opera
tors can afford to pay no higher wages
and the miners can't afford to accept
the pay offered. What is to be donef
The committe does not know. They
are puzzled. Let the miners go else
where, it may be suggested. Let them
go whey will, says the committee
they will find the mines crowded and
no opening for them. Let them scat.
ter, and seek other occupations. That
says the committee, is not easy. be
cause they are all ignorant foreigners
Poles, Huns, Croatians and Italians
who cannot speak English and know
nothing of American ways and meth
DDS. Thus is the situation cOmpIieat
ed and no practical relief in sight
What is TO be done? Nothing that the
committee can see, but to trust ia
providence and hope for better times.
Moral: Providence is more reliable
and Trustworthy than the tariff in
the estimation of the committee.

A rather entertaining bit of scandal
comes from Douglas in this state.
Scandal is horrid to be sure, and ought
not to be countenanced but news is
news. 4 handsome young widow
clerked in a business house there.
The proprietor's son whose name is
Thompson, and man, married at that
became smitten with the fascinating
widow. The smite was mutual.
In short time after nice little
scandal had been worked up over the
affair, the younger Thompson disap-
peared, and up to this time has not
been heard from. RumOr went to
work and declared that the widow in
tended to follow suit and her lover, so
very strict watch was kept on all her
movements She however, did not go
away, but one day last week, Mrs.
Thompson, senior, the mother of the
missing Young man, came to the store
and in language not very
elegant, but very expressive,
talked to the widow aud end
ed up the program by chasing her
out of the store and daring her to ever
set foot inside its door again.
AS the matter now stands it is ex-
ceedingly embarrassing for the widow
and also for young Mrs. Thompson.
The former has lost her lover and the
latter has husband only in
name. Where the young man has
gone nobody seems to know and to a
man up tree it looks very much as if
MIR. Thompson, junior, had deserted
both his wife and his sweetheart.
In the meantime the citizens of
Douglas will watch developments and
continue to roll the choice bit of scan
dial around in their mouths and watch
and see what the future will bring
forth. The two women at the same
time have very uncomfortable posi-
tions.

KANSAS CITY is making great eff
fort to induce manufacturing. In
that her chief strength will consist
henceforth. As a jobbiug center she
can not attain any considerable pre-
eminence. The evident purpose of the
rail roads is to bill through their ship
ment of goods, and Kansas city will
probably soon cease to be rate bas-
ing point. There is no good reason
why it should be SO, and many why
it should not. As manufacturing
centre it ought to, and doubtless will
become a Manchester, if the proper
spirit and activity are exercised TO
make it 50. Its business men realize
this fact, and are exerting themselves
to that end. More power to them.

4'PaVys QuadrAlIe Elephants. The
Latest and Greatest achievements
In the Elephant Education.
Up to the present time it has been
supposed elephants had been taught to
the full extent of their mental capacity
Adam Forepaugh, DR., has dispelled
this illusion.
From his fathers herd he has Sc
lected four male, and the same num-
Der of female elephants, and after
many months of patient training, he
has taught these ponderous brutes to
dance, in most accurate and grace
full manner. quadrilles, jigs, reels,
horn-pipes, sc.
At his command, the eight elephants
form in proper manner for a quadrille,
and the moment the music commences
bows to his partner, who acknowled-
ges the salutation with a modest court
esy. At the command right and
left, this figure of the dance is per-
formed by these intelligent creatures,
with correct steps and graceful move
ments. Ladies chain" shouts the
trainer. and Immediately the first and
second elephants in the set cross to
opposite places, and turn and face the
fronting couples, in strict accordance
with the figure of the dance. "All chas-
sell" shouts young Adam, and, with
| no movement on his part, each ele-
plant faces his partner, and chassez
across the arena and back with a bow
and courtesy, their huge bodies un-
dulating in harmony with the motion
of their limbs, their steps in exact

promenade, y &c, these gigantic ami
mails quickly and correctly respond to
the call, never missing the correct
performance of each figure of the
dance.
These bulky brutes do not jump, Ca
per, or kick. as many human dancers
are in the habit of doing - all their
steps and attitudes are regular and
properly assumed; al their movements
harmonious and graceful.
Nothing equalling the wonderful

This hopeful news is very encouraging
TO the members and friends of the
family here. who had almost despaired
of Mrs. Peters recovery.
Our associated press report is con-
firmed by private telegram received
to-day by Mrs Ed Peters from Streat-
or saying that Mr.. Peters is out of dam
ger, and Mrs. Peters is in her right
mind and giving hopes of recovery. 1t is
gratifying to know that no deaths have
SO far resulted from the fearful acct
dent.
The immediate cause of the derail-
ment was broken rail which shot UP
through one of the sleepers lifting it
from the track and hurting it 100 feet
away. That all its occupants were

THE situation in California since the
death of Judge Terry is becoming
daily more complicated. The COVER
nor has taken a hand i'll the matter
and requests the attorney general. of the
state to have proceedings against
Justice Field dismissed. The district
attorney, who has charge of the pro-
secution, instituted by Sarah Althea,
is disposed to resist the orders, or re-
quests of his superiOIs, and seems bent
on prosecuting the Justice because of
some spite he entertains for him.
Again it is said that Justice Field
has changed popular sentiment some
what by seeking TO shield Nagle from
prosecution by the state. Altogether
matters are becoming rather mixed.
But one thing is very clear, and that is
that the attempt to prosecute Justice
Field as an accomplice in the killing
of Terry, is the heighth of absurdity.
The district attorney, who is mainly
responsible for it, deserves to be
kicked out of office, together with the
Dogberry judge who issued the war
rant of arrest. The other question of
jurisdiction in Nagle's case is Il moot
ed one.
