Here is the way the Wichita News states the Kansas situation;
 "There is trouble ahead as deep as the sea and as wide, for the political bosses of this country. There is q state of affairs and a serious one, and it seems unadjustable from any party standpoint. 1t takes 1000 bushels of corn to pay the taxes on an average Kansas farm, and all the wool of whole flock of sheep, to- gether with their hides and the meat of their carcasses, to do the same in Ohio. It takes 10000 bushels of corn, or the product of half dozen farms, to pay the salary of a single public officer in Kansas, and the united efforts of the entire family the whole year to pay the interest on the mortgage of an average. farm in Illi- nois. CapitalI alone is protected as found invested in manufactures, or the combine, while the laborer only sweats to increase the accumulatons of the protected trusts. The ques- ton of price is no longer fixed by the cost of production, but by the lowest possible margin on which the pro ducer can exist.

TARIFF TALK.
How the High Tariff Affects Iowa
 and Kansas Strong Argument.

1 Below we publish an eloquent eX- tract from Gov. Boies' inaugural speech, delivered before the Iowa Legislature, on the 27th of last month. It will perhaps be remem- bered by our readers that Gov. Boies is the first Democratic Governor elected in Iowa for many years and hence it is the first official expression of opposition to the abominablc rob Der tariff, to which the people of that State have listened in a long time. His views of our present war tariff have the ring of the true metal, are as applicable to the Southern as Western States. We, therefore, heartily commend them to the favor able considerations of our readers:
 Any system of taxation, the eff feet of which is to take from one class and give to another is necessa- rily q partial and unequal distrbu- ton of public burdens. It is proba- bly, true that the burdens of an exor- bitant protective tariff fall more heavily upon Iowa than most of her sister States. Such tariff is neces- sarilv in conflict with the best inter- ests of the one great industry which is the chief hope and sustenance of her people. It increases the cost of nearly everything we buy, and di- minishes the price of almost every thing we sell,
 "We denounce as conspiracy q combination between few men to increase by artificial means the cost of the least of our necessaries, and encourage by National law vast monopoly that deies the law of trade and regulates in it's own interest the price of nearly everything we are compelled to buy. We have followed this delusion of a protective tariff W with the blind faith of dcvotec, believing in the most patent of falla- iss. We have been willing to believe we could enrich our workmen by making millionaircs out of their em- ployers, that we could increase the farmers income by system of leg islation that clogs the outlets for his products that must go abroad or smother the market we would nour- ish.
 "We have been clay in the potter's hands, moulded to suit his selfish will, until, with graneries overflow ing, with nocks and herds that man can scarcely number, we are still poor, because by artificial means the profits of our great industry have been depressed below their normal condition, that those of another might be elevated above it's own. And yet, in the light of all our eXre- rience, we are confronted by poli- cy for which we are as much respon- sible as any one; that is, declining the National Treasury by extrava- gant expenditures, that a war tariff may be maintained in times of peace, that threatens to remove the tax on the worst of luXuries that it may be retained only on the greatest neces- sites. Let it be understood that the people of this State demand cheap clothing, cheap food, cheap imple- ments of labor; in short, cheap nee cssares. That they are not inter ested in cheap whisky or tobacco, and if compelled to take the former dear and the latter cheap they will surely resent the injury"

DEATH OF CARDINAL NEwMAN-Cardi-
nal Newman, who died II England Mon
day in his Goth year, was, says the Balti-
more Sun, an ecclesiastic and scholar Of
worldwide reputation, and man whose
sweetness and benignity Of character caused
him to be admired and esteemed by thou
sands of intelligent men and women out
side the fold of his church. Originally a
clergyman of the Church of England, he
became one of the leaders of the famous
Oxford or Tractarian movement iuaugu-
rated by the religious poet, Keble, and
himself began the publication OF the series
of "Tracts for the "Times" in advocacy of
what were regarded as ultra "High
Church" principles. In the fall of 1916 he
was received into the Roman Catholic
Church and took orders at Rome. Since
then he has been engaged in literary and
religious work in England, and, although
he was for years an active controversialist,
he has exhibited throughout his career so
much purity and benignity of character
that he has commanded universal respect
and affectionate regard by many who diff
fered with him in religious opinion. Like
his friend Keble, he was the author of re-
ligious poetry which has wide circulation,
among his verses being the beautiful
hymn, LEAD, Kindly Light" which is
one of the gems of the Episcopal Hymnal.

In his speech on the tariff bill in the Sen.
ate Thursday, Mr.. Vest alluded to the fact
that sugar, rice and cotton, the three prod.
ucts in which the negroes of the country
have the most interest, were legislated
against in the bill. But that, he said, "was
easily accounted for by the fact that the ne
groes contributed nothing but their vote to
the republican party" Of all the people
in the country those most pilaged by the
tariff are the negroes. 1t protects nothing
that they make and does not add one cent
to the wages they receive, but it does add
so per cent. to the price of almost every
thing they have to buy. But, if it added
twice as much, they are either SO prejudiced
or SO densely blind to their own interests,
that they would continue to vote the repub-
lican ticket as regularly as the elections
come.-AleE. Gazette.

HARRISON AND CLARKsON WANT THE
ELECTION BILL PAssED.-The Washington
correspondent of the Alex. Gazette, under
date of the 7th instant, says
president Harrison in the course of a
conversation with republican congressman
this morning expressed his ardent hope that
the Force bill would be passed before the
close of the session and said every republic
can member of Congress should do his ut
most to have it passed, for the safety and
welfare of the party. Mr.. Clarkson, who
still continues to draw the salary of Assist
ant Postmaster General, says he, Clarkson,
will take no part in next falls campaign
unless the Force bill be passed. Clarkson
is member of the national republican COM
mittee, and if the republican Senators who
are opposed to the bill, prevent its passage
and Clarkson shall do as he threatens, the
election of 1890 will certainly be fairer than
that of 1885,"

Along the Line.

There were appointments for seven
meetings of the people commencing Thurs
day and closing Saturday of last week
along the proposed route for the extension
Of the Cumberland Valley Railroad through
Augusta county. Official reports from
several of them have been received and ap-
pear in this issue of the SPECTATOR. They
were all we'll attended and the people
along the line express great earnestness in
the movement and to that end will con-
tinue to present the advantages of the route
and not tire till conclusion one way or the
other is reached. Augusta and Rockbridge
are thoroughly aroused and working in full
concert.
The convention to be held in Staunton
the 18th of September will be largely at
tended. The committees appointed at the
meetings are the delegates, and of the nine
meetings held in the two counties from ten
to fifteen committeeman were appointed at
each, chosen from those who signified their
purpose to continue their efforts unceasing-
ly for the accomplishment of the object
There will doubtless be representatives OF
other counties present at the same time.

others interested in this movement to pro-
coed as Mr.. Chichester, Chairman of the
Parnassus Committee, has mapped out for
the first work Of his delegation. He has
subdivided the fifteen members into sub
committees for special work. They will
collect respectively statistics of crops,
garden and dairy products, live stock, &c.
In addition to representations of the yield
of their cultured lands, the resources OF
forests for lumber and specimens of all
valuable ores will be brought out, &C.
companied by written information as far as
1t can be furnished.
The convention will compile from
authentic information a report of the valu-
abes along the whole line SO far as the
people interested may participate in its
proceedings, and thus, in condensed and
formal shape, present the matter to the
railroad authorities.

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in

According to the old proverb. we may
infer that it was possible for Paul to be en-.
riched by robbing Peter.
But suppose Paul secretly stole money
from one pocket and put it into the other,
losing portion at each transfer, how long
would it take him to get rich? Well, this
is about the plan the farmers have devised
to get rich by the sub-treasury scheme. The
idea is about this:
To raise money by taxation from them
selves, and put it in the treasury. Then
they will borrow it from the treasury at
two per cent. A scandalously low interest,
but what fool Paul is not to keep it in his
own pocket instead of putting it in hole
and then b)rro wing it out at two per cent,

DHnkard's Annual Meeting.

A Hagerstown special to the Baltimore
Sun says that the committee appointed at
the last annual meeting Of the German
Baptists, or Dunkards, of the United States,
to select place for THE next meeting, met
in the German Baptist Church in Hagers-
town last Friday and decided to hold the
meeting on the grounds south of the semi
nary in Hagerstown. The time fixed for
the meeting is Whitsuntide, or the 18th of
May, 1891, but an effort will be made to
have the meeting two weeks later, 80 that
they can get the use of the seminary build
ings, and Brother David Long was appoint
ed to correspond with the proper authorities
with reference to changing the date. The
following executive committee, with power
to appoint other committees and to arrange
for the meeting, was elected: A. B. Born-
bert, W. 8. Reichord, D. F. Stouffer, Mich
olas Martin and David Long. These annual
meetings are largely attended by German
Baptists from all parts of the country, and
at former meetings the attendance has been
estimated at times as high as 10000. One
of the reasons for selecting for Hagerstown
was its excellent railroad facilities.

A PREsENT EFFECT OF THE FORCE BILL.

South as part of the American Union,
and when see party in all its legislation
ignoring that fact and passing special laws,

manner born to resist such legislation with
all his power"

there can have been any patriotic white Re-
