THE TARIFF AGITATION The tariff
agitation incident 10 the next Presi-
dental and Congressional campaigns
has already begun. and none too early.
What is required is knowledge by the
masses Of the people. 1t is a very vital
question. and it behooves every voter.
aud every young man who expects 10
become voter soon. to study the
tariff question thoroughly and in
dependently. This should not be
done from party standpoint. nor
in an er-pdrte manner. Ii is quite DOS
slble for every man to obtain a view Of
the relation of the tariff to American
industries and progress. and every man
ought to make 1t his special business 10
get so grounded 10 the principles of the
operation of tariff that IN the excite
nent OF campaign he will be sure 10
use his vote for the best interests of the
;ountry.-Dmuth Herald.

Both senators from this state
couldn't be suited with the appoint
ment CT US. attorney. Messrs. Hay
and Steenerson both had excellent
endorsements, and the president was
obliged to exercise his own choice in
the matter, leaving the senatorial en-.
dorsements to balance each other.
He knew Mr.. Hay to be bright
lawyer, enthusiastic Republican, and
in every way worthy Of the position
he desired, and he therefore appointed
him. Mr.. Hay is one Of the young
Republicans Of Minneapolis, was one
of the leading speakers in the cam
paign last fall, made cretlitable
record in the Legislature, and deserved
the appointment he received. 1t is
noticeable that those who are init.
mately acquainted with Mr.. Hay
have the highest regard for him.

1T is an excellent thing for any person

who are ignorant or forgetful of this
simple fact is given in the recent expert.

A CASE IN COURT4OO YEARS.

lA,CASE IN COURT 400 YEARS.
American Analyst; Russian
papers notes the termination recently
Of n law suit begun 1880, or four
centuries ago. The litigation was
over a forty-acre tract of unculti-
waited land, has been handed down
Through numbcrfess generations and
cnriously enough. has been finally
settled by peaceful arbitration.
The protra, ted litigation, Us well as
the satisfactory manner ofits termina-
ton, reminds us>ds Of the celebrated
case described BY I.abelais, in which
Pantagruel acted as umpire. This
classie<law suit had lasted many years
between two French mobiles. IN.
Vulnerable law papers had been pre-
pared on both sides, and nil the courts
had been gone through, with the re.
suit Of utterly befoeging and mysti-
ying the claims Of both parties. The
umpire above mentioned being APP
pealed TO agreed 10 decide the matter
provided that all the paper and
documents should first be burned up
and the claimants then should plead
their own cause personally before him.
As owning to the lapse Of time, they
had both forgotten altogether what
was the origin of the controversy
their respective arguments were
made up of blind and ineoherent
repetition Of such Of the legal jargon
as they could recollect from reading
the documents drawn up by their
Lawyers.
Therefore Pantagrual gave his de-
cree in language equally unintelligi-
bic as the pleaders' statements. Both
parties liked the incomprehensible
sentence he passed, neither of them
<eeing anything i'll it to make him
think he had lost his cause. When
this satire Of Rabelais was published,
somewhere about 1886, the Russian
lawsuit had already been progressing
over fifty years.

Stanley and his undaanted comrades
the world owes u debt Of gratitude
which It will be- difficult 10 repay.
Africa has at last been opened up to
the civilization Of the future. Its
vast tracts ofwi1derness wilIstimulate
the enterprise Of the pioneer, and the
day is not distant-within the lifetime
Of our children's children, perhaps
when the shrill echo Of the engines
whistle will be heard oil the rugged
sides Of snow capped mountains which
Stanley has explored; when those
illimitable forests will %resound with
the workman's axe, and when the
law OF commerce will change the
tawny native from.a savage into self
respecting citizen. Barbarism will
retire f,om its last stronghold on the
planet, as the darkness disappears
when the sun rises over the hilltops.
The door Of Africa has been thrown
and commerce, civilization, Christian
ity will soon redeem the continent.
Philanthropy has done its utmost to
kill the infamous slave trade of tina t
region. Hundreds of missionaries
have fallen a sacrifice tothir devotion:
Africa remained impenetrable and
impregnable. The dusky natives
repealed all advances, aud all attempts
to introduce a higher life ended in
disappointment. But now. it may be
predicted that the Arab. slave driver
will soon surrender; that intertribal
wars instigated for the purpose of
supplying the market with human
cbattels will cease; that the victories
Of peace are not far distant; that
this Dark Continent will shake itself
free from barbarism aud start on a
career Of progress which will excite
the admiration Of the world.
