THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

When the people of the United
States returned majority of rrotec-
tionists to congress they did SO upon
the express understanding that this
majority should remodel the tariff.
These tariff changes were not to be
made after the bill prepared by Mr..
Mills, of Texas, which manner was
acceptable to the free-traders. hut
after such a manner that it should not
be acceptable to any free-trader.
This was the issue clean cut and clear
as it was presented to the people
everywhere in the campaign Of 1889.
The way and means committee has
done its work fairly we'll, it has been
fair to all alike and above all it has
remodeled .he tariff on those lines of
protection which were indicated IN the
party platform before election. Says
the New York Herald, at is the most
perfect piece Of political honesty we
know Of. The promises made 10y the
party leaders and the campaign ora
tors have been faithfully kept" If
in any direction the trainers of the
bill have erred we believe that they
have been too tolerant as to internal

THE CANADIAN TARIFF.

Oar northern neighbor having be-
fore her eyes the spectacle of prosper
ity which has resulted from tariff
legislation in this country has in con-
temptation some changes. Minister
of Finance Foster followed his recent
speech from the budget with list of
changes in the rates of duties now in
existence and based upon the protec-
tion principle. Among the more i'm
portart of those proposed are an in
crease of the duty On wheat flour from
80 cents to rs cents per barrel, an
increase of the duty on animals, cattle,
sheep and hogs from 20 to 80 per
cent. I'D valorem, an increase of the
duty on fresh meat from to cents
per pound, an increase on mess pork
from l cent to cent per pound, and
an increase on dried or smoked meats
from 2 cents to 3 cents per pound.
Lard, tiled or rendered, is raised from
2 cents to 3 cents per pound, and lard
untried from u cents to 2 cents.
Apples, which were formerly free, are
made subject to a duty of 40 cents
per barrel, and on wooden manufac-
lures there has been an increase of
2 cents per pound.

SHORT Versus LONG TERMS.

With the founders of the republic
there was an inveterate hostility to
long terms of office. 1t was John
Adams who said that "when annual
elections end tyranny begins" At the
time of the framing of the federal con-
stltrtlon Connecticut and Rhode ISL
and held half-yearly elections while
the biennial system was found in South
Carolina alone. The convention op-
posed to no small extent a two years
term for congressional representatives.
Little by little. as the years have gone
by, the people have come to SEE that
their fears we're groundless and have
learned the serious disadvantages of
frequent elections. Everywhere we
have drifted toward longer terms and
less of rotation in office until now in
the forty-two states only Rhode ISL
and Massachusetts, choose all of their
state officers and their legislatures
every year, while outside of these only
New York and New Jersey choose
heir legislatures every year. A GEN.
ury of experience has shown us
hat no man can grow so
'trong that the people who made
an not unmake him. Old mem

lational legislature always far out

THE CRAZY GAR,

Our Russian advices day by day
present cumulative evidence of the
old saw, that "whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad" 1t
.ould seem that the hereditary taint
in the Romenof blood, traceable di-
rectly to the crazy emperor Paul, is es-
pecially noticeable in the actions of the
present Alexander. He cannot but
know that all Christendom has been of
late especially outraged by the afro
cities of his Siberian prisons. In
America as in England the pen and
pencil, and more than either, the plat
form talks of Mr. George Kennan have
brought US face to face with the grin

LIAR-SCOUNDREL-COWARD

The emphatic words which form the
caption of this creed are to be taken
in the most Plckwickian sense, SO far
as this journal is concerned. They
are the salient points in letter which
recently passed from congressman to
an editor. That the congressman was
wrong and the editor right goes with
out saying, for are not editors always
right That both parties hail from the
south is not necessarily the case. The
hurler of epithets must come from
thence. of course, and in his case the
recipient of the wordy fusllade is, like
the party of the first part, Tennes-
seean. Of a verify this has the true
ring of the days "befo' the wah, when
a mans social status depended largely,
if not wholly, upon his ov nership of
human flesh and blood. But it would
seem as if the man who is now, accord
ing to his congressional friend. fully
entitled to write after his name L. S.
c., as aforesaid, does not see any ne
cessity for blood-letting. In scath-
ing letter a column long he reminds
the irate lawmaker that he ought from
his position to be especially aware of
the penalties which the giving or send
ing of challenge to fight a duel en-
tails. The "pistols for two and coffin
for one" era is almost gone. They do
these things better abroad. In France
they fight with 22-caliber pistols at
$50 PAGES, while in Fatherlend the |

ERsKINEvILLE, April 9, 1890.
Editor TINES -MoUSrANEER:
This is beautiful day.
never saw grain look nicer in my life.
We noticed in your last issue statement
from Mr.. Alex. Mcintosh in regard to his
losses. AS for our communication of Feb.
18th we wrote it just as it was given to US,
and like the majority of correspondents we
have to CLEAN them from whom we can.
Perhaps our informant did not know just
how many sheep Mr.. Mcintosh had and
what his losses were. We did not intend to
mlsrepresent the losses in any way, and
further we do not consider stock losses in
any way damaging to any ones character.
If it is there are great many men ruined.
We are sorry that Mr.. Mcintosh feels hurt
about it, and if what he said is true (which
We presume it is) we will take it back and
say he did not have 5000 and did not
lose 300. As to telling falsehoods for
prize we think we will compare favorably
with Mr.. Mcintosh. Now as this has been
recti6ed by MI. Mcintosh We will say no
more about it. and hereafter when a man
makes statement to US we will swear him. |

Superintendent Porter expects tc
be able to transmit to congress by the
last of July the figures which will
show the population Of this country.
Congress will doubtless still be in session
at the time and the re-apportionment
can be made at once, soithat before the
fall elections each state may know
how many congressman it will be en-
titled to. The northwest will be the
largest gamer by the new apportion-
ment. 1t is very strong evidence of
the march of improvement that in
forty-two states, nearly all of which
are kingdoms in population and extent,
the national roll can be called and the
result tabulated and made of avail
within thirty days.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

In speech recently made before
the American Association for the Edu
cation of the Colored Youth, Presl-
dent Harrison has invited public at
tention to the vital Importance of the
public schools by this sentence:
have firm belief that the rock of our
safety as nation lies in the proper educa.
tion of our population; that it is impossible
for man to discharge his duties as citi.
zen without the knowledge that it is to be
derived from the common schools.
It did not need this utterance from
our chief magistrate to teach US that
everything which goes to strengthen
the non-sectarian character and the
efficiency of our public school system
sh ,uld be the first thought and care of
every true citizen of the republic.
And education in this connection is
to be taken in its broadest sense.
Sending child to a school presided
over by teach er whose sole object is
to cram information of the text book
sort into the child's head is an act of
bad judgment on the part of the par
ent. Blu. hero Mr.. Harrison says in
effect, and says truly, that it
is an act also against public |
policy. For anything which does not
result in making the individual citizen
of the greatest value to the state is
against the interests of the state.
There can be no question as to this.

4 PECULIAR QUESTION.

A few days since in the Ohio house
of rrT resentatives very nice question
came up for adjudication. A member,
the Rev. Mr.. Dresbach, was charged
with having a financial interest in a
bill for which he had vot EThis
interest, it turned out, was a wager
for ten dollars that the bill would pass
Under the rules no member can vote
for any bill in which he is pecuniarily
interested, and this point of order was
raised. When the reverend gentleman
denied the allegation, the stakeholder
produced the money as proof. The
speaker, who is of the same political
as Mr.. Drestach, ruled,
peculiarly, that as betting
is strictly illegal in Ohio, it is
no bar to voting in the legislature.
That is, anything which is illegal out
side the legislature, IS legal when
practiced on the f,or.

CRIME AND RETRIBUTTON.

Once in quarter of century the
country is startled by the commission
Of crime, SO cold blcoded, so urcalled
for, and so bold that it would seem a
positive impossibility that its perpe-
traitor should escape. Able detectives
with hundreds of officials at their
back, after months of fruitless search
are obliged to confess themselves
bafled, and the murder passes into
the category of crimes whose authors
are never discovered. These rare
cases however are only the exceptions.
The rule is that crime is almost sure
to meet with detection and punish
ment in time. And if no accuser is
at hand, Nemesis not infrequently
takes the shape of the guilty con-
science of the criminal himself. Some
fearful fascination, boru perhaps of
brooding over crime even before its
commission, forces the guilty party to
haunt the scene, or in conversation to
a!lude frequently to the chapter of
horrors, to which he alone possesses
The key. It must be an awful thing |

IN MEMORIAM.

Lines in memoriam Of Miss Mary Steele
beloved daughter of Mr.. and Mrs William
Steele, who departed this life April 6, 1890
by an old scEooImate.
Yes, our darling Mary has left us,
Her pure, gentle spirit has flown,
Sore grieyed are the hearts that have loved
And saddened the once happy home.
She has gone from earth and its sorrow
Her spirit in heaven to dwell,
Leaving US only the memory
8Of the one we have loved SO we'll.
Like beautiful fruit that has hung on the
Till ripened and thoroughly sweet.
Our dear Mary's life has been rounded by
joys
To a loveliness full and complete.
Dear parents, sisters and brothers
Who mourn for the one God has chosen,
Though yon have lone less at home on
earth"
Remember you have zone morein heaven.
Yes, her mission on earth is ended,
Those dear loving hands are at rest;
Yet IN our deep grief we must murmur
On, hard tbs to say, sit is best"
But in our thoughts she will linger forever,
And when life's rough voyage is Ger,
Dear Mary will be waiting to greet us
As our boats touch the heavenly shore.

contains too large an expenditure to
meet with much appreciation in the

the utmost Importance to the whole
northwest, and if one million had been

hopes that Mr.. Hermann. by combin-
ing with members from the south and
west, might have secured its passage.

fore it is put to q vote.

jected to careful analysis for fear OF
poison. His poor worthless life is
guarded as rigidly and carefully as if
it were the most precious thing on
earth, and yet lest the measure of his
Injustice should fail to run full, he
now determines to wr.st from Finland
the constitutional form of government
which no Russian potentate has dared
to disturb for more than three-quar-
ters of century. The Firms, living
on neck of the Baltic bounded by
Russian territory-over two millions
in number-were once Swedish in ma
tionali.y and have always been a
hardy. industrious, lIbert. loving race.
Peter ths Great absor bing the province
Of WIborg hy conquest, the Russian
!esr was never content until all Fin
land was stolen from the Swedes. AT
the treaty conference which followed
the final overthrow of the first Napo-
leon, the allied powers forced from
Russia an unwilling concession of the
sanctity of the Finnish legislative form
of government and hone rule under
her constitution.
The car now finds himself between
two fires. The Russian people are
tired of despotism and fond of dyna-
mite. They see this conquered pro-
vince enjoying liberties which are de-
nied to them, and they naturally rebel.
Alexander lacks the moral courage to
raise the rest of his subjects to this
level, and perforce must reduce the
Firms. But that old treaty will be
pointed. like the avenging revolver he
hourly breads, straight at the head of
the horror-haunted emperor, and he
must assert himself in the face of all
Europe or surrender at discretion

GERRYMANDER.


"What does the word gerrymandei
mean?' said an acquaintance day OF
two since. 1t has acquired wide
range and a frequent use as an ex-
pressive word in politics. 1t means
using party supremacy SO to arrange
the boundaries of the political sub
divisions of state that one party may
obtain supremacy over another even
though the latter may lie in the major
ity. In other words so to rearrange
the legislative or congressional dis
tricts in state as to throw the
greater possible number Of the oppo-
sitlon into the same district in order
to kill the force of their vote. For
instance, two districts, side by side,
are Democratic. By adding to tie
one most hopelessly so a Democratic
portion of the other, Repu blican
majority will be obtainable in the res
idue, and the same territory which
elected two Democrats will now elect
one Democrat and one Republican.
The word itself was born in this way.
During President Madison's admins
tration the Federal and Democratic
parties in the state of Massachusetts
we're nearly equally divided. In 1911
the party then in power in the legis-
lature determined to re- district the
state in such way that those districts
which cast heavy vote for the oppo-
sition might be set apart into districts
by themselves. By punching the vote
in this manner several additional
districts we're given to the party
in power. Eibrldge Gerry
was governor of the state at the time.
He signed the bill after its passage
and this process has been named in
honor Of BIN, "gerrymandering."
When a census has been taken and a
new apportionment must he made,
many changes in the lines of districts
are necessary. This particular process
has been resorted to by all parties in
the past, and IN fact neither of the
present leading parties eau claim im-
munity from criticism on this score.
There is bill pending in the present
congress which is designed to put a
stop to this practice of depriving the
voters Of any portion of common
wealth of the rights which they should
possess aud hand:ns them over, bound
hand aid foot, 20 the minority. The
provisions Of this bill are: that
only one re-districting Of state can
occur, and that it must be made by
he first legislature which meets after
he re-apportionment, that the districts
must be made of contiguous territory
md as little struggling as possible. and
hat no district in any state must exceed
ny other by more than fifteen thous-
nd people. The ifty-third congress
will meet, or rather the members who
will compose it will be elected, before
he new apportionment-consequent
pom the coming census-will be made,
nd the law will doubtless, as it
hould, put stop to this evil practice
4 every portion of the country.
