For The LegisIature.

Editor Register: tt Ii'1t'
The time is approaching when it
is necessary for the Democrats of
Mason county to put two candidates
in the field to represent US in the
Legislature, and men whom we can
elect. 1 have in view two young
men of ability and popularity, one
from each side of the Great Kama.
wha, who if nominated by the De-
mocracy will carry our banner to
victory. / referr to Mr.. Robert
III. Holloway, Of Hannah District,
and Mr.. Charles S. Chapman, OF
Hartford City. While I do not
wish to forestall the claims OF
others who may be aspirants, for
this honor, do not hesitate to say
that l believe that these gentlemen
would be the strongest candidates
the Democracy could put in the
field, and hope it will be the plea
sure of, the Convention to nomin-
ate them. They are both. energetic
and hard workers in our ranks.

OVER THE sPolLs.
The evidences that the thinking men
Of the Republican party are alarmed, are
abundant and constantly increasing.
The New York Tribune has senten-
tiously announced that the pension ex-
travagance must stop. the New York
Press has announced that the tariff bill
must pass. several members Of Congress
have sounded the alarm against the ex-
travagant and reckless appropriation Of
this session, and now Judge" is out
with striking cartoon over the title
"Ths Republican party forewarned !
Cease that wranglingl Redeem the
pledges you made in 1888, or you will
be justly charged with unitness to
govern, and overwhelming defeat will
be your portion in 1892"
The cartoon represents The "Judge"
warming the Republican party, imper-
sonated by Columbia, against treachery
and dupllcity, and holding up to her sad
and repentant gaze the pledges Of the
Republican party made in 1883" In the
background is a table, upon which Is a
large scroll inscribed. Politics and pub
lie patronage. Around the table are
representations OF Hiscock, Quay, Baker,
Squire, Plumb, Jones, Butterworth, and
Edmunds. all intensely excited in quar-
rel to dispose Of what spoiis they have,
and how to get more.
The picture Is realistic and true, but
the persons represented as quarrelling
are not those who are In the public mind.
Reed, Mckinley, Cannon, BaYne, Hoar,
Blair, Grosvenor and others should not
be left cut of such picture.
There arc signs Of disintegratIon and
discontinue everywhere. There is dis
satisfaction with the President and
doubt about the leaders. Blaine offers
one new road oub of the predicament
while Mckinley and Reed are trying tx
spring little tangents from the old roads
Meantime, none Of the leaders are con-
sidering the people. Blaine is trying t.
ssduce ths Eastern mill owners aud thu
Northwestern farmers; Mckinley Is at
tempting to satisfy the demands" O
the manufacturers Reed is trying Il
FIRE the foel Northern heart and capture
the Grand Army with promises Of pen
sions.
Thus none Of these great Statesmen
are proposing any public legislation TO
the public gOod-they are simply making
special and srecious pleas to the severa
classes which to them stand respectivel
for tho people. The result is that th
pledges the party made in Chicago ar
forgotten, and the Judge" calls upol
the leaders to cease that wranglingl
The "Judge' is a Republican organ, s.
that this cannot DO campaign canar'
composed by the wicked Democrats
is something less, not something more
than the truth.

pRoP THE EooL PROPOSITION.

DROP THE FOOL PROPOSITION.
The Morning News is very much given
to tho foolishness and absurdity Of
making tentative arguments to prove that
tina tariff does not increase prices.
This ia not done because I'll writer be-
lieves the silly proposition that the same
duty which is laid to increase the prices
Of Imports, and to retard their sale, and to
enable the manufacturer here to obtain
higher prices for similar goods, and pay
higher wages for making them, also
.rhcapsns The prices Of those goods, but be-
cause it is "protectionism. That
proposition is so ridiculous that it can.
not be argued
Bat the Morning News is so enamored
with its dialectiO skill that it will argue
up or down any proposition from the
color OF an invisible bug to the sex Of
the man ia the moon with equal ardor
and equal lucIdity. It attempts to main
tain that the shoemaking, hatmaking
wallpaper, iron, Steel salt, coal and the
glass industries, together with all the
agricultural industries, are here because
Of the protective tariff Then it main
tains that the products of all these
industries have been cheapened by the
protective tarif-the same tariff which
enabled the kind and tender hearted boss
20 pay higher wages to the American
workingmen" from Italy, Hungary and
Poland.
After wasting good deal Of heavy
brain work on that feol proposition, the
News feels it necessary, for reasons not
clear to common sense, to maintain that
the farmers have "home market" and
that the tarif duty gives them that
gorgeous blessing, in disguise, and gives
them also the wonderfully stiff prices tS
which wheat, corn and other farm pro.
drce have advanced,
In view Of these idiosynerasies an,
innocent little follies, which do no othe
harm than increase the reputation Of tht
News for polsmics at the expense Of it
reputation for good sense, we reeommen
the speech of Senator Blair, one Of tn
Oldest and crankiest protectionists Of tn
Republican party. He said;
New England is becoming able to sci
[ many Of her manufactures abb Dad, no
p By degrading her labor, nor by reducin
wages, but by increasing skill and ma
chinery. Ike industry Of making iro
implements for human use had been YER
