WE DON'T BELIEVE 1T.

In commenting on an editorial para
graph in the EAGLE Of few days ago
on the exactions or extortions of the
binding Irvine trust the Emporla Repub-
lican asserts that 1.-The tariff cuts no fig
ure in the price of binding twine," that
''the duty on sisal hemp is only cent a
pound, and that ''if the duty were en-
tirely removed the price would not be
reduced copper. One cent pound is
$20a ton and this added to the 14S0 per
cent advalorUm, it seems to US, is enough
to cut considerable figure in the case,
enough to afford the trust a convenient
hiding place or pretext for their extor-
ton. The consumers of Irvine do not
complain at the duty, but they do COM
PLAN, as they have right to, at the ex-
tortion attempted to be practiced under
its cover, and as before said the people
will favor the removal of the cover
if there is no other way to correct the
evil.
The penitentiary officials of Illinois, in
answer to resolution of inquiry passed
by the state legislature, state that bind

states prisons and furnished to farm
ers at IL. cents a pound. This price,
of course, includes the import
duty. This shows that it can
he manufactured by private enterprise
and sold at retail for say Is cents a
pound, which allows over SO per cent
about prison cost for honest labor and
profits. And that is about what the
price was before the combine got hold
Of the product on hand and control of
its production.
The apologists for the trust say that
the increased cost per acre to the farmer
by reason Of the advance in the price of
Irvine this season is but trifle and is
nothing TO make fuss about. Grant
thatit is small matter to the Individual
farmer, yet this little is just that much
more than is just, and besides the prin-
ciple involved is as potential as if the
amount were ten or hundred times as
great.
If it be true that the tariff has nothing
to do with the price and that the price
of the Irvine would not be a copper less
if it were removed, neither of which we
believe, there is no real necessity for such
duty and its retention only serves to
complicate the service to that extent.

FUNNY, VERY.

The New York Sun, Democratic paper
with protective predictions, regards the
report of tariff reform club as the best
example of native humor afforded by these
funny times. 1.-The world" it says, sis
full of humor to him who will look for it
with attentive eyes, but there is, perhaps,
more of it to the square inch in tariff re-
form club reports than in any other repos-
itory. There is, moreover. in these docu-
ments bubbling enthusiasm, a jaunty
self-confidence, a careless dancing upon
facts and standing upon the head that
makes them interesting to students of the
comparative anatomy of delusions." Those
who remember the lumber and other
wooden speeches made here last fall can
appreciate the terseness Of the quotation,
particularly if they will keep in mind the
fact that our export Of lumber to Canada
is enormous.-Newton Republican.
In view of the action of the Dominion
parliament in imposing an export duty
of 50 to So per 1000 feet on saw logs, it
will be conceded at once that az a hu-
morist the editor of the Republican ex-
ceeds the Sun and tariff reform clubs all
put together. The world is indeed full
of humor to him who will look for it.

KANSAS IS ALL RIGHT.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
What is the matter with Kansas this
year? Drouth in Illinois, devastating
fires in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The
boom is an orphan in southern Califor-
mia, the big hotels are closed in gloom,
despair has caused the landlords to tear
their hair and watch in vain for the
guests that never come, the bats fit hith-
er and thither undisturbed and the spid-
er weaves his web in silence and security
from tree to veranda. What is the mat
ter with Kansas. Rain everywhere and
just enough, wheat matted over the
ground and waving in the sunlight,
clover so rank that horses and red cattle
stand in it belly deep. Health is the rule
and sickness the exception. Prosperity
is the rule and poverty the exception. 1t
would be better for people in other states
to see Kansas before they die. Do you

Bid Me GOOD Morning."

From the indianapolis News.
At the funeral of the late Justice
Matthews there was design of flowers
with the sentiment:
Say not Good night but in some
brighter cline
Bid me Good morning."
1t was learned afterward that it was
the remembrance of President Harrison.
The singularly beautiful lines are from a
poem by Mrs. Barbauld, The stanza
from which they are taken is:
Life! we've been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather;
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear!
Perhaps twill cost sigh, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not Good night" but IN some
brighter cline
Bid me Good morning.
The lines We're great favorite of the
actor Macready and were recited at his
funeral.

Finding fault as his soul into Hades shall fy.
He found fault when little and found it when big,
He found fault with the clock, and likewise the

And was not at all satisfied cen with himself.
When he got married. he found fault with his wife.
And made his fault-tnding the plague of her life;

He swore at the dogs and kicked at the cats,
Found found fault her cooking and what she cooked
Found fault with her clothing, and how she looked;
With her he found fault when she bought hat,
When wearing her old one, he found fault with
that.
And then found fault with her going without;
He found fault with her for wanting dress,
And when she did not, be found none the less.
He found fault with the butter, fault with the
cream,
And kept the house crazy from cellar to beam;
II nothing else he had TO find fault at.
He'd find fault with lard because 1t was fat.
He found fault with politics. both county and

And fault with his neighbors from early to late;
The church didn't suit him, and he found fault

Senator German is named and is be-
ing urged to succeed w. Ii. Barnum,
deceased, as chairman of the Democratic
national committee. The strong points
claimed for him are that he has strong
protection predictions and was chiefly
instrumental in the election of Cleve-
land to the presidency, being chairman
of the campaign committee that year.
AS political wire-puller German is a
good one, and as that is what is mainly
required of their chairman by the Dem
Gratis, he may get it.

Here is the EAGLES theory of the
wonderful breathing well recently de-
veloped in southwestern Texas, men,
toned in Thursdays dispatches under
Ell Paso date: An opening has been
created between the well and a subter-
ranean passage that leads to the ocean
or gulf, and the ebb and flow of the
tide inhales and exhales the air as
stated. The dark, unfathomed caves of
ocean not only bear full many gem of
purest ray serene, but countless other
curiosities that even the poets fancy
never conceived. But, here we rest and
await the theories of scientists on the
phenOmenCn
