Ths Danger % Putting : Jester IN =
Place Of Great Power.
The Republican party when in control
OF the House has chosen the following
Speakers:
schuyler Colfax.
James q. Blaine.
Warren Keller.
Thomas Il. Reed.
The Credit-Mobilier scandals drove
Schuyler Colfax from public life.
The rulings Of Mr. Blaine in connec-
ton with certain bills before the House
cost him the Presidential nomination OF
his own party three times. and defeated
him when nominated.
Warren Keifer's conduct in the chair
Disguised his own party and ended his
political existence.
The Democrats when in control OF the
House have chosen the following Speak,
ers:
Michael Kerr.
Samuel j. Randall
John g. Carlisle.
Mr.. Kerr died from qverwork and tho
results of strict performance OF his
duty. His conduct in the chair won for
him the honest praise Of friend and foe.
Samuel J. Randall was firm, courteous
and exceedingly jealous Of the rights Of
the minority. His conduct reflected
high honor on his party.
John g. Carlisle presided with the dig
nifty and the impartiality Of Judge. No
man on the Supreme bench was ever
freer from PARTISAN rulings than was
Speaker Carlisle. With Carlisle in the
chair 1t ceased to be partisan Office,
and was clothed with the dignity Of the
judiciary.
Mr.. Reed is bent on making record
that will link his name with every
deed Of violence against the constitu-
ton and every scheme Of corruption d.
rected against the Treasury. His two
years in the chair will stand as per-
petual warning against putting jester

PRoTEcTIONIsT ADVICE.


They Slowed In 1883.
We com mend to farmers the following
sample Of sympathy for their condition
by the protection press OF the country.
A little more thana year ago these pa
pers were devoting great deal Of at
tention to the ''home market" created
BY protective tariff. To-day farmers
are in worse condition than they have
been for years, and with no prospect Of
improvement during the present admin
istration. Agricultural products Of all
kinds are at the most discouraging
prices. Confront ted by the fact that
Kansas farmers find burning corn for
fuel the most profitable use they can
make Of it. the Des Moines Register says:
A farmer can Just q religiously raise corn
for fuel as ne can raise timber for fuel The
Kansas farmers are all right, and II stoves can
be arranged TO buz n corn ~ economically and
with - little trouble and labor as coal and
wood, all town and city people can greatly aid
In increasing the prosperity Of the farmers and
Of the whole people BY burning corn. More
corn and less coal and wood for fuel Is q policy.
the general adoption Of which will speedily
bring relief 20 the farmers Corn makes very
hot firc in the usual stoves. but there Is too
much increased labor involved In keeping the
stove supplied with corn 10 keep up . regular
heat. This Il the only problem necessary for
solution 70 give farmers speedy relief from
cheap corn and the subject Is worthy the at
tesSon 81 grangers alliances and inventors.
What pleasing suggestion this must
be to the poor devils who voted for Har-
rison. high tariff and free whisky in
1sss, and sweatcd in the fields through
the summer Of 1889 to raise their crops.
Unable TO turn their product into money
on sccount Of the policy they supported.
their friends now advise them to invent
some method Of getting 1t into the fire
as rapidly as possible; Of course they
have plenty to eat in the meantime
Corn is excellent food. They can afford
to eat beef too. as 1t is selling for one
to two cents per pound on the hoof
the Mississippi valley.
Clothes? Well, they must buy clothes,
but then the farmer is making. on an
average, thirteen cents per year out Of
the tariff on wool, and he can clothe his
family with that Besides, Mr.. Harri-
son himself said that it was s'mighty
mean man. who would want to get
clothing any cheaper than II is now SELL
Ing. The situation is apparently not so
very distre ssing, after ALL II the Re-
publican farmer would only keep in
mind that he has . ''homc Market he
ought to be very happy man.-Indian-
lpoiis Sentinel.

IS DIVORCE NECESSARILY


A Minister Who Holds That some Men
Die While Yet Alive.
Can the marriage tie be dissolved save
BY death? The negative Of this it would
be difficult to maintain. writes Rev. r.
> Moxom in the North American Re-
Wow. Mans power OF self-destruction
Is not confined to the physical realm
Marriage is quite as much moral rela-
tion as ! Is physical relation. Just as
certainly as one may destroy his life by
vice, or destroy his moral sensibility by
self-abandonmcnt to evil impulses, just
50 surely may he destroy both the phys
ical and the moral tie which he has
formed by marriage. That the laws
governing society should and must rec
ognize such dissolution is unquestion-
able. There are both rational grounds
and social necessities for divorce. To
many minds the very idea Of divorce is
repugnant IL seems to be violation
Of tho Divine order Of human life. But
one must not ignore facts Amputation
Is repuEnant to sensitivcly organized
nature; but IL limb is gangrcned il
must be cut of. The entire prohibition
Of divorce would work harm to individu-
ais, and. through them. TO society. 1t
seems pretty clear also that to some de-
gree 1t would promote vice. 1t certain
ly would infiict great wrong on many
innocent and dcfcnselcss people. In
some cases it would even destroy the
family. Society must protect itself as
a whole. but in doing this II must not
disregard individual rights and needs.
Indeed, as surgery often saves human
life by cutting away member Of the
physical organism. 50 society often saves
the family BY cutting on noxious
member.
