The Forum for June Is received. IL Is
| the independent, outspoken exponent of the
| best thought of the country, on questions
with which the writers are perfectly con-
versant, as rule. Hence we are surprised
to find in its pages this month an article
| from the pen of Roger @. Mills, entitled
''New England and the new Tariff Bill" be-
! cause 1t is a fact that Mr.. Mills does not
know any more about the wants and the
interest of New England manufacturers and
| their employees, than he does about affairs
| in the Kingdom of Buddha. And in his
| article there are more wild and visionary
| suggestions and false deductions than we
| ever saw before compiled into so small a
space. The fact Is that from his essay, il is
perfectly self evident that Mr.. Mills has no
knowledge of the condition of business af-
| fairs in the New England states, and has no
| right to attempt their discussion before such
| an assembly as the readers of the Forum,
| and only makes ninny of himself when
| he does so. The other ten articles in this
issue are up to the usual high Forum stand
ard, and will command, deservedly, wide
public attention.
| The first response from the people of
state TO the action of the administration, and
| congress, especially on the tariff bill, comes
| from Oregon, and it is entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Hermann, present congressman, and
one of the warmest friends of the Mckinley
| bill, is reelected by some 5000 majority
| and with him a legislature largely republic
| can in both branches securing the reelection
of Senator Mitchell, who is as warm a pro-
| tectiOnist as Mr. Hermann. The State tick
ct is Republican except Governor, by
| plurality of some six or seven thOusand-a
decided gain over previous State elections.
Mr.. M. Schaenberger, Beaver Dam, Wis,
writes: 1--WE have used DIR. Thomas Electric
| Oil i'm our family for coughs, colds, Group
and rheumatism. 1t cures every time.
That the Republicans of Michigan may
know what prominent Republicans, who
are in Florida, as well as the Republicans
of that state, think of the efficient action of
| the President looking to the rigid enforce
ment of the laws i'm the south, as well as in
the north, we place before our readers the
| following brief extract from an editorial in
the Granite State Free Press, written by
Hon. E. III. Cheney.
1.-The calm, wise, but firm stand which
President Harrison has taken with reference
to the enforcement of the laws and the pro-
| lection of the courts in Florida has great
| ly strengthened and encouraged the Repub-
licans of that state. 1t is high time for the
| people of those counties which are in prac-
| ticable rebellion against the government of
| the United States to be taught that Obedi-
| ehce to the laws is high duty, and that in
the name of the government and people of
the United States 1t will be exacted from
| them. The better sentiment of the decent
Democrats of Florida undoubtedly deplores
the hostility of the extremists to the Federal
courts, but unfortunately the extremists are
ever on the alert, and have usually accom-
plished their purpose before the sober sense
of the better element has put on its boots.
And then that sober sense is SO paralyzed
that 1t knows not what to do.
We more than once heard prominent
Democrats denouncing the inaction of Coy.
Fleming in the Saunders murder case. 1t
is worthy of all condemnation. 1t is impos-
sible for any candid man to to reach any
other conclusion than that Gov. Fleming
could have had Marshall Saunders murder
er in limbo If he had wanted him. And now
Gov. Fleming is displaying the same disre-
gard of his duty with regard to the Cedar
Keys troubles. What are governors for
anyhow? To make a fine appearance on
dress parade? That would seem to be Gov.
Fleming's idea. He does that admirably,
, and that is about all he has ever DONE"
''Don't buy pig in bag" 1t costs mon-
ey to make good binder or mower. Exam
inc the machine that is offered you at a low
| price. You may find it is not worth what is
| asked for it. Champion binders and now
ers are built upon honor from the best ma
| terial Obtainable and in the best way known.
Ben Avon, of the New York Press, has
been interviewing Gen. Alger about mat
ter which has been pretty generally noted
in the Democratic and Mugwump newspa-
pers, and as the result of that interview
prints the following: II asked General AL
| ger if he had seen the Democratic newspa-
per comments about Mrs. General John A.
Logan accompyine himself and Mrs Ager
to the coast, and charging that 1t was a
political movement on her part. Yes l
have said he, and i have everywhere
answered inquiries about it in one way.
| My private car is like my house. 1t Is open
| to whomsoever my wife and l invite into it,
and the door is shut when they enter it, and
| thereafter is none of anybody's business.
Mrs Logan was my wife's guest, and the
! attack on her was of piece with the prying
into household affairs in which such papers
delight"
THE TIMES thinks that in the above
statement Gen. Alger overlooked one impOr-
tant fact. His home is not drawn about the
country, dead-headed, at the expense of
every wage-earner whe rides mile OH any
railroad, as his private car is presumed to
be. And that makes quite difference.
That men who have to pay twice as much
as they ought, by reason of these private
cars, every time they ride upon the railroads
cannot be expected to look OH this question
through Gen. Ayers gaasses.
