A Sample of G. O. p. Dishonesty.

Some Republican Senator of an in
quiring turn of mindful Chandler,
for instance-ought to direct the atten-
ton of the Senate and the country to
the fact that Republican control of the
United States Senate is due to the sup
preston of the Democratic votes in
the State of New York. This is not
done avowedly, the form of a free vote
being kept up, bat it is done as effect
lively as it would be if there were law
on the statute book of New York, put
there by Republican legislators, de-
claring that in Legislative elections
one Republican vote should count as
much as two Democratic votes. Re-
publican Legislature after Republican
Legislature has persistently refused to
order an enumeration of the inhab-
itants of the State of New York, though
required by the constitution so to do,
and Democratic counties are deprived
of their proportional strength in the
Senate and the Assembly. At the late
election there were four Assembly dis
tricts in New York and Kings counties
which cast an aggregate of about 49,
900 votes Seven interior counties,
with a smaller aggregate vote. elected
thirteen Assemblymen, so that the vot-
ing power in the latter case was three
fold what it was in the former. This
is the Republican method of controlling
the New York Legislature. Detroit

CLAYION,S MURDER
Why the Democratic Party Is in No Wise
Responsible for the Crime.

WY the DcAOcFsatlc rarity Is NO " 1Se
Responsible for the Crime.
The assassination of John nj. Clay
ton, an Arkansas Republican politi-
clan, is attributed by Republican news
papers as a matter of course to his
political opponents. If a Pennsylva-
MIA Democratic politician had been
murdered under similar circumstances
Republican newspapers would be
quite content to await the develop
ment of evidence in the case before
they would ever admit that politics
had any thing to do with the matter.
10 the jausadiced eyes of the Repub-
lican journalist the South is a Nazar-
eth out of which nothing but evil can
possibly come. At the same time it is
fact that more murders are COM
mitted in the Northern States in pro-
portion to population than in the
South and some of them within the
last twelve months were due to politi-
cal animosities.
About thirty years ago an assassina-
ton OF a character quite similar to
that of Clayton occurred in the town
of Jacksonville, Ill. Hon. Murray Nc
Cornell, one of the ablest lawyers in
that State and a much more promi-
nent Democrat than Mr.. Clayton has
been a Republican, was shot dead in
his office at Jacksonville by some one
who fired at him through the window.
The assassin was never discovered,
but nobody ever attributed the MUIR
der to politics. There were, however,
quite as good reasons for styling that
doing the same in the case of Clay
ton.
1t us not reasonable to believe that
the assassination of Clayton was due
to the fact that he was contestant for
seat in Congress. For years it was
the practice of the Republican carpet
baggers down South to contest the
seats of Democratic Congress elect
on trivial grounds with the inevitable
result that the Republican Congresses
would seat the contestants in spite of
the fact that they had been beaten
thousands of votes at the cleo
ton. When those fraudulent con-
tests were made the people of the
South were greatly excited, but none
of the carpet-bag contestants ever suf-
fered any bodily harm. Is it likely
that now, when the Southern people
have settled down to a condition OF
thorough tranquility and when no
political point can be gained by them
by resorting to violence, such an assassi-
nation would be committed for political
reasons? The idea is too absurd to be
entertained for moment.
Clayton is represented to have been
a man of amiable disposition. He re-
ceived the votes of many Democrats.
He was beaten by so large a majority
that his contest was hopeless. In the
face of these facts it is difficult to be-
lieve that his murder was conspired
by his political opponents. The Dem
ocratic Legislature of Arkansas has
offered a large reward for the detec-
ton and arrest of the murderer. In
so doing it has not merely taken a
proper step for the vindication of the
law, but it has given the lie to the
charge that the assassination of Clay
ton was a political murder.

A Story with q Moral.

The story has reached US of an Italian
nobleman who at the altar refused to marry
young English heiress because her bridal
dress was trimmed with the dead t.r;:es Of
white doves. The tale is good enough to be
true, but unfortunately such stories are not
always true, and the use of birds for orna-
menting the person is not wholly dispensed
with. Ornithologists, however, assure us
that the decided progress already made by
the press in creating public sentiment
against this cruelty and barbarism has
largely increased the song birds at the
Northern nesting haunts. Any woman
who persists in the use of real birds and
birds wings should be socially ostracized
Let her lay aside her prayer-book and learn
mercy and grace, and to be faithful to 4he'
natural obligations.

A QUESTION OF LIBERTY.
What High Protection Means and Why Its
burdens Must Be Removed.

%
burdens Must BE Removed.
Hon. Roger Q. Mills makes con-
else statement of the necessity of tariff
reform when he says that 1.-The same
broad principle runs through indus
trial and human freedom and it is
bound to prevail. -
Between the parties on the tariff
issue, the question is altogether this
of liberty. There is no political lib
erty apart from industrial and COM
mercial liberty. 1t is not a ques-
ton of percentages, but of system of
government. The government of
free people must, to preserve their
freedom, take their money as taxes.
As long as taxes are just and equal, it
makes no great difference how they
are levied. Tariff taxes considered
merely as taxes for government rev.
enue and restricted to government
needs are the best. Beyond this they
are the worst-the most insidious in
struments of oppression that tyranny
ever devised to accomplish by fraud
and indirection what it fears to at
tempt by an open exercise of power
If it We're not a question of liberty,
the whole issue On the tariff would
soon disappear. Sixty million people
would not long listen to wrangles over
percentages, but when their rights
and their freed ON are concerned they
will listen, and it will not be long be-
fore they will cease to listen, to act.
The whole plutocratic power of the
country is massed in support of the
system that has made plutocracy pos
sible in America; that has fastened on
the country an industrial and CONNER
cial slavery under which the vast ma
jority of the people are required to
blindly abandon their industrial and
commercial rlghts-not to the gov
eminent they have established, but to
class created by class law; with none
of the restraints of an official govern
ing class, but with all its vices.
The conditions thus created are not
to be borne by a people that desires to
remain free. Not only is the serfdom
of labor consequent upon them, but a
worse consequence is the negation of
the right of the American citizen to
control his own affairs in every thing
that does not involve unjust interior
ence with the rights of others. If the
American citizen has any liberty at all it
is the liberty of wearing what clothing
he pleases without Government inter-
ference; of selecting his own food, of
determining for himself what articles
it is best for him to buy and what not
to buy.
It is not denied and it can not be
denied. that the protectionists refuse
to concede that any such right exists.
Their whole theory is that the Ameri-
can citizen must be forced by a juggle
of the tax laws to use goods of one
brand only-the goods that have the
American Protective Trust brand on
them.
President Cleveland fifty character
lied this system when he called it 1.-The
communism of capital" 1t is tyr

And Willie Mckenzie came. Harry found
him, as he had anticipated, a whole-souled
young fellow, little the worse for wear
Just then, but full of animal spirits and with
frank, winning manners, which quickly
broke down the barriers of new acquaint-
anceship. AS they sat smoking their cigars
together on the stoop that evening, Win
throp preached the subject which had such
thrilling interest to him. Taking the
links of the watch-chain he had found on
the spot of Barclays murder from his pock-
ct, he abruptly handed them to the young
man with the pointed question:
''Have you ever seen these before2"
He was astounded at the CHASTITY paleness
of Mckenzie's face. He literally trembled
as he gazed with black look at the golden
links.
"Why do you ask!" he stammered.
'sNay; let me be the questioner," Harry
continued g-avely, for a wild thought en-
tered his brain that this young fellow,
though of course he could not have himself
perpetrated the foul deed, was privy to its
accomplishment. "Hsve you ever seen
those links before?"
81 do not know-that is-well, they are

sible. know the grudge you bore poor
Barclay; 1 heard you threaten him that
night at Charlottesville. You shall not

There was then a sharp scuffle, and Harry
dropped from the window and flew to the
spot, just in time to catch IN his arms Nc
Kinzie's Keeling form and see the figure Of
man drop to the other side of the boarded
fence.
''There-thank you'll am not much hurt, -
the young man cried, while he chung to
Harry so persistently that pursuit after the
fugitive was impossible. 1T was only a
fellow I knew in better days-he was un-
fortunate-we had some words-and you
see my sickness has not left me very strong.
Pray come quietly back to the house. l
would not for great deal disturb the
ladies in their slumber."
Harry thought for a moment before he re-
piled. He had not a shadow of doubt but
that this young Platt, who apparently was
the ne'er-do-well son of his hostess, was
his friends murderer, but he shrank from
duplicating the man, who was about to mar
~ the ruffian's sister, in his conviction. So,
acting on this impulse, he said, as uncon-
cernedly as though receiving disreputable
acquaintance in gardens at midnight
were common occurrences: "Well, let US
go back to bed, my dear fellow, and if l
We're YOU, / wouldn't wander about by
starlight till 1 was little bit stronger"
But in his heart of hearts he swore that
it should go hard with the festive Mr.. Platt
| if once he could get upon his track.
