Not a Candidate.

WASHINGTON. June ia piece
of news that will be read with intense
interest came from the White House
yesterday. 1t is no less than posi-
tive declaration by President Harri-
son that he will not be a candidate
for denomination under any consid-
Grafton or circumstance. The presi-
dent, it appears, made up his mind
some time ago not to seek the presi-
Dental nomination again. He did
not think it necessary to make any
announcement of the fact. although
it was assumed by thousands of party
men that in the natural course of
things he would be a candidate for a
second term. Indeed. the announce
ment was made yesterday in the
most casual way. The president was
in conversation with an intimate
friend yesterday at the White House
and the talk turned on the silver
bill. incidentally national politics
was mentioned and the president ex-
pressed himself quite freely. He
said. among other things, that he had
made up his mind not to be candi-
date for denomination. and that at
the end of his present term he in
tends to settle in Indianapolis again
and resume the practice of law. The
presidents declaration touching his
relation to the next presidential
nomination, made as it was without
reserve, was soon in wide circulation
and afforded topic for conversation
that for interest subordinated all 9TH
err topics for the time.

Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad announce that the long-con-
templated extension from Morgan
town, w. Va, to Uniontown, Pa,
will be begun at once, and completed
by October 1. The distance is about
so miles. but the link is especially
important because it connects the
West Virginia and Pennsylvania as
systems of the Baltimore and Ohio
and gives the company through
line from Pittsburg up the Mononga-
hela Valley into Central West Vir-
gina. When its projected extensions
are completed the Baltimore and
Ohio will have a direct route. 400
miles long, running from Pittsburg
to Charleston in the KanaWha Val
ley.

EMPLOYERS of labor. The height OF
absurdity was reached when they at
tempted to defeat the bill to place
imports of worsted goods on the same
level with woolens, although this
very measure had been favorably re-
ported to the last House by their
own Committee on Ways and Means,
and had received the support OF Col
onel Breckenridge and others, who
now took the floor to denounce 1t.
But even this was parallelled by The
attempt to strike from the Mckinley
bill number of duties which were
exactly the same as in the Mills Dill
of two years ago. The chart by
which the Democratic party is steer
ing must be exactly like that EN-.
pIoyed in "The Hunting of the
Shark" which by emitting all lines
whatsoever gave the captain the ut
most freedom of action.
At no time has the Democratic
party shown that it knows when
and where opposition should cease.
1t inflicted great injuries on the
South and on the country by its fail
ure to recognize this during and after
the war. 1t now is making the same
mistake as regards the Tariff. 1t re-
fused to accept the popular verdict
of 1888. 1t declared for policy not
of criticism, but of resistance in the
House, and only the courage and
frmness of the Speaker prevented
this from being successful, 1t pur-
sues the bill with maligh prophecies
and malicious hopes to the Senate,
declaring that the jealousy of Mr..
Allison and other Republican lead
ers will rob Mr.. Mckinley of the
honors of originating new Tariff.
1t discovers evidences of Republican
dissension in every step which has
been taken toward consideration, and
especially in the vote to discuss the
bill in the whole Fiance Committee
instead of by a subcommittee. And
by the voice of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Mills the party declares its pur-
pose to.make the Tariff question an
interminable issue In our politics,
and to convert every national cleo
ton into a season of commercial dis
trust and business anxiety.
In fine, the Democratic party fails
at every point to render the service
which we have the right to require
of a Constitutional opposition.-Ro6-
ert Ellis Thompson IN Irish World.

The Great African Forests.

The great forest through which
Stanley recently passed, which he es-
timated to cover quarter of mil
lion square miles. is only small
part of the great African forest which
extends almost unbrokenly from the
west coast of the GaboOn and OgoWe
regions. with a width of several hun
dred miles to the great lakes. This
belt of timber, trending away to the
heart of the continent in a direction
little south and east, is perhaps. the
greatest forest region in the world.
A part of it strikes south of the Congo
at the great northern bend of the
river, and the country embraced
within the big curve is covered with
compact forest, shutting out large
part of the sunlight.
In these forests, completely shut
SUIT from the rest of the world, live
hundreds of thousands of people who
are almost unknown to the tribes
living in the savanna regions outside.
Scattered through the big woods
within the Congo bend are little
communities of BatWa dwarfS, of
whose existence the traveller has no
ink ling until he suddenly comes upon
them. Here also along the Sarkuru
River are the tree habitations deScrib-
ed by DR.. Wolf, where the natives
live in huts built among the branches
to escape the river floods. 1t was in
great clearlngs made in these forests
that KuDd and TappenDeck discover
ed some of the most notable villages
yet found in Africa, where wel.built
huts, with gable roofs. lined both
sides of neatly-kept street that
stretches away for eight or nine
miles. These villages are even more
interesting than the street towns in
the more sparselv-timhered regions
south of them, which were regarded
as very wonderful when they were
first discovered by Wissmann.

The Democratic Party and the Tariff

The Democratic Party and the Tariff.
In its treatment of the Tariff ques-
ton the Democratic party always
has been party without intelligent
principle. Its theory that govern
ment is necessary evil, the scope of
whose action is to be limited as much
as possible, inclines it naturally to
Free-Trade. But it has had enough
experience of the practical exigen-
cies of the American Nation to make
it hesitate as to the wisdom of acting
on this maxim. AS consequence,
it has been hating between two OPT n
ions from the frst--its theory incIin-'
ing it to Free.Trade, and common
sense drawing it in the opposite di-
rection. This finds illustration in
the lives of all its eminent leaders.
Jefferson and Madison began as Free
Traders to end as consistent Protec
tionists. Calhoun and Cleveland be-
gan as Protectionists and ended as
Free.Traders. Jackson shuffied back
and forth across the line with a gen.
eral inclination to Protection, Ev-
cry policy in turn has been taken un.
der the patronage of the party, and
the only thing certain about it is that
it will stick to nothing.
In the recent treatment of the
Tariff the Democrats have displayed
the old vice of their party. They
haye had no standing ground of prin.
ciple from first to last. The Tariff
laws they have proposed have been
a curious medley of contradictions
and absurdities, which even surpass-
ed their masterpiece. the Tariff of
1916. A scientific economist, on read
ing one schedule, would have sup
posed that its authors were the
staunchest of Protectionists on ex.
aiming another he might haye
thought them extreme Free.Traders.
Twice the party CROPPED in the dark
to find principle of Tariff revision,
and thought it had found it. The
first was Mr.. Morrison's plan of Hor-
izontal Reduction the second, Mr..
Mills's proposal of Free Raw Mater
ials. Both these. however. were
discovered to be preposterous when
applied to the details of the Tariff,
and both were partly abandoned by
their champions before their bills
reached the House. What was real.
ly before the minds of both was to
get the country to take 1.-THE first
step towards Trade" but neith-
er of them had the courage to say so,
as they knew that their party would
stand by neither that nor any other
distinct principle.
En- their criticism of the Mckinley
Tariff bill the Democrats have been
just as unhappy as in devising meas
ures of their own. They have shown
the utmost readiness to stand by high
duties laid upon products of their
own section or district, and to vote
these down if their immediate con.
stituents had no interest in them.
Their vote has scattered on every
important motion to amend the bill,
and the subtlest economic analysis
would fail to discover any principle
which has controlled even the ma
jority among them. If we might
judge from their speeches, many of
them would be ready to vote for the
highest duties, provided the advan-
tage of these should accrue only to
the working classes and not to the
