JUDGING from the result of the recent
elections in the North and West and from
the connections apparent in the republican
party in the parts of these two sections in
which no elections have been held this year,
it would seem that Gen. Rancock's famous
remark, that "the tariff is local question: y
was not based upon The pillars ofeverlastine
truth but, oD the contrary, was quite the re-
verse, and that the tariff, as from the neces-
fity Ct the case it must be, is essentially a
national question, and has become the chief
question in every part of the country. The
people of every State, North as we'll as
South, are tired of being taxed to death for
almost every thing they have to buy, in order
that few rich nine and factory owners may
have their profits increased.

THE MARKET value OF the farms In Mont
gomery county, in the manufacturing State
of Pepnsg lyanis, has decreased forty pei
cent. during the last ten years. And yet
there ere men, farmers at that, in the agri-
cultural State of Virginia, who say that q
high tariff, by protecting manufactures, Gre
ates home market, and thereby increases
the price of the farmers products and en-
hances the value of bis lands. high tariff

not as high now as it was before that tariff
was Instituted. Nc, protective tariff

their products, Dot it lmpoverishes the farm

Mr.. R. B. HAYES, like bad egg, will not
sink. He turned up yesterday at meeting
OF the Loyal Legion in Philadelphia, and
made a speech, in which he said "every soul
in this country should have an equal chance
in life" But, how could that be, when he
and bis party tax ninety out of every hun
dred people in the country for the benefit q
the remaining ten? He also said LET
those who like Lincoln stood on the perilous
edge of battle in support of the rights Of
human nature, remain steadfast." Mr.. Lin
coin never did stand OF the perilous edge Of
battle, nor did he conceive it possible that
the rights of human nature could ever be
construed to mesn negro domination 10
those southern communities in which the
negroes have mere numerical msjorities.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

MAYOR MCGOWAN, of Bellaire, was
sitting quietly sleeping in his chair at his
Office on Thursday afternoon. 1t is said
to be habit of his Honor" to sleep in
his chair. While he was thus woOing
Morpheus, several police officers around,
among them Marshal Shepherd, conceiv-
ed the happy thought of placing fire
cracker under the chair to wake the
sleeping dignitary- No sooner said than
put into execution. Three large and ele-
CANT crackers fully primed were placed
in position, and the match applied. Did
| it wake him ?-was he mad? 1t is so
stated. 1t is even said the honorable
Mayor swore And then directing his
anger against as he supposed-the chief
of the culprits, he ordered Marshal Shep
herd, the Chief-of- Police of Bellaire,
placed under arrest for engaging in,
abetting, giving sanction to, and being
accessory to such crime. The still an
gered Mayor next turned in and fined the
Marshal So and costs, which was paid.
Now the question is, upon whom is the
Joke? The Marshal at first was inclined
to have the Mayor placed under arrest
for using profane language, but finally
desisted. The occurrence furnished Bell
aire with laughing matter for several
| DAYS.

"The best form of the government is a
Republic, but the worst form of citizen
ship is disfranchised citizenship in a
Republican form of government. That
such a deplorable condition (disfran-
chised citizenship is the fate of the
colored citizens In the South is now ad-
mitted by both political parties. We do
not seek domination over the white
people of the South; we seek participa-
ton as citizens in the governments OF
the South, and the full enjoyment of
every political right accorded by the
Constitution and laws of the United
States"
That is the eloquent petition of the
southern States Colored Republican
Association" to the Republicans in the
Senate. 1t is moderate, yet earnest
plea, for rights guaranteed by the Con-
stitution, and presents unanswerable
arguments for the Federal Election bill

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

THE old home of Alex. II. Stephens,
at Marietta, Ga, has been purchased by
a negro. What comment on the in
feriority of the black race! Less than
thirty years after the war, when slaves
were made men, the homes of the lead
ers of the war-the homes of the slave
owners-are becoming the property of
those same slaves. That despised, op-
pressed and trampled down race, though
hindered at every step, is still on the
rise. Are they who accomplish so much
in the face of almost impregnable diff
culties not worthy to be accorded unre-
stricted citizenship? May not that home
produce a second Stehpens, black in skin
but noble in purpose? Yet the Demo
cratic party-the party of demagogues,
of usurpation, of rebellion, of treachery,
and of darkest and foulest deeds that
ever dyed the banner of any nation in
recent times, declares that the black
race shall not have the right of the bal
lot, when that party is responsible for
the condition of the negro. Pass the
Election bill, give the black man his
rights, and let the Democratic party
abide the result or move out.

THE Alabama method of blowing up
with dynamite, and the Iowa plan of
dressing the proprietor in a coat of tar
and feathers, are both forcible means of
eradicating that latest of evils, the "or-
iginal package" houses. In either case
the course pursued was effective, and a
repetition was totally unnecessary. In
fact in the Iowa incident, the proprietor
cared not to test experimentally the
veracity of the citizens having the mat
ter in charge, but took their word, and
at once departed for more congenial
fields.

The following was adopted by the
Session of Bannock Presbyterian Church
in view of the death of Elder Henry
Daniels, who died May is, 1890:
We desire to put ON record a sense of
our loss in the death of Mr. Daniels, and
an expression of our appreciation of his
worth and usefulness. Few, indeed, have
ever shown greater faithfulness in the
discharge of their official duties in all that
pertained to the good of the church. In
his removal we recognize the hand of
loving Heavenly Father, who is to good
to do wrong, and too wise to err. And
while we reverently bow to His Will we
hereby express our deep sense of our loss
in his death. AS his cO-labOrers we have
lost wise counselor, an earnest worker,
an efficient member of Session. And we
hereby tender our sincerest sympathy to
his bereaved family commencing them
to the case of an ever faithful covenant
keeping God who maketh all things
work together for good to them that love
Him. SESSION.

TWELVE THOUSAND people met in
Sheffield, England, the other day and
unanimously denounced the Mckinley
bill, because they said it would hurt them
by decreasing their sales of cutlery in
the Uuited States. That is to say its
passage would help the cutlery industry
in this country. When foreign manu-
facturers complain that American policy
is depriving them of their market, it is
pretty good sign that that policy is the
right one for the people of America. 1t
is the duty of Congress to legislate in
the interests of the American people
not the people of Europe.
