Everything has simmered down stree

Mr.. Powderly's position in favor
of q prohibitlve tariff has seemed to
be inconsistent with his reputation
as a consistent labor reformer. But il
would appear that he has changed
his views on this subject. We make
the following quotation from one of
his recent utterauces:
I'm not talking tariff this year, but
it seems to me that the policy Of pro
lection Is a wrong on labor. The
labOring classes are not protected
only the manufacturers. The rich
receive the protection. The AMER
can manufacturer adds the duty to
what should be the natural and fair
price Of his product The burden Of
the tariff rests its crushing weight
upon the poor The tariff needs re-
forming. II Is the poor, the great
mass Of the people, who need protec
tion, and they viii never get % under

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent

(From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON ID. G. Jan. 10, 1890.
BY the dea tn of Representatiy,
Kelley, of Pennsy lvania, the honor
of beingthe "father Of the House,
that IS, the member who has served
tho longest, falls on ex-speaker Ran
dali.
At last it seems likely that o bill
for the transfer of the Revenue ma
rine service from the treasury to the
Navy department will become q law.
For many years the opposition of the
Secretary of the Treasury has pre-
vented Congressional action, but
now Mr. Window favors it, Anoth-
er important transfer that may be
regarded as certain to take place
during this Congress is that of the
Weat Their bureau from the War to the
Agricultural department.
Washington has an unusual guam
tity of sickness. Opinions differ as
to whether it is caused by lmagln-
alton, colds, or ''la grippe" The
doctors say its the first two combin-
ed, while the newspapers and a large
portion of the badly frightened pop
llation insist that it is the latter.

or extreme. The first thing to do is
to grade and drain the principal
streets. Under any plan Of street
improvement this must come first,
and when done, this alone would re-
medy the worst trouble. With streets
graded and drained they would
never again become the seas of mud
we have so often seen and been com

would dry off in one fourth the time

mud, and yet, with the cooperation
of every citizen which the law appears
to contemplate, would cost no sum
which could not easily be met with
out resort to bonded debt of from |
Sl5,OOO upwards. These would be |
much more permanent and valuable
improvements than the pine board
culverts recently introduced, and one
by one the principal streets could
then be completed by crawling, etc.
These are some of our views, and
we appeal to every candid reader if
they are not well founded in reason
and fact.
We have thus hastily discussed the
two main questions involved, and

consideration, We have much more

We have never met him personally,

happily expressed paragraphs from
his valedictory:
After nearly forty years connec-

the editors of the Advocate,

old and new, and dropping my edi.

1t is like parting with old and dear
friends for long and indefinite jour.

necessary, and so l bid you all
slightly fearful but hearty good-by,

The ba5oon, writes The GRAF Reinet
Advertiser, seems to be changing its M.
ture with the changing climatic condi.
tons. In former years he was vego-
tartan, his worst otfense being stealing
mealics i'll the garden when he got q
chance. Now he has taken to other
ways Of getting a livelihood. Said Il
farmer the other day to a brother farmer,
Have you lots of honey on your farm"
mo, the balloons rob all the nests"
GLOW do they do it? the bees would
sting them to death"
The answer was that probably the ba-
boons did the work in the night, when
the bees were drowsy, sleepy and dull.
Anyway, he believed the balloons got off
with the swas of honey wherever they
could get at a nest. Then Mr., Peter
Ba0ysen. of Mooitontein, has his story
to tell of the new development of the
baboon; it attacks the wild aloe, pulls il
down and tears out the pith for food.
Mr.. Booysen, ST., does not object to this.
as he would be glad if all the wild aloes
on his farm were cleared out by any
means Whatsoever. The special wish Of
the father and son is that balloons would
take to some food providing operations
which would get rid of the prickly pear.
But az the substance of the leaf and of
the trunk Of the prickly pear is nothing
but water, the wish is not likely to be
gratified. Anyway, the poisoning clubs
have classed the baboon with the wild
carnivora, and the rifle and arsenic are
now busy to destroy him.
Farmers give interesting instances of
the difficulty Of poisoning the baboon,
the fellow being about as "slim" as q
human being. One farmer believes the
fellow tastes the poison as prepared and
disguised for him, and if he finds it is
not good thing for the stomach spits it
)ut That farmer, however has sue
'eeded in giving the arsenic such pal
'table surroundings that the shrewdness
IF the bab"on is not proof against the
oalatable temptation and dies.

The Australian Ballot System Again,


AS an indication of the practical
working of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn, now the subject of discussion
throughout the Union, and as an ad-
ditional evidence of the entire secrecy
and therefore perfect freedom of the
ballot under it, Massachusetts furn-
ishes the best illustration in this
country. At the state election in
October, the democratic candidate
for governor, who stood upon IA plat
form endorsing civil service reform,
ballot reform, and local option, re-
ceived majority of over five thous-
and. In December. at tho election
for mayor, the democratic candidate.
who was understood to be a spolls-
man, opposed to reforms and com
mitted to government of political |
boss and ring will, was defeated by |
over five thousand majority. The .
question of license or no license to /
saloons was voted on, and the ma
jority of Il year ago Of eighteen thous-
and for license WAS reuced to eight
thousand. Ii these results establish
anything at all, it is that the vast
deal Of independent thinking which
the people do on occasions, would
find expression at the ballot box wers
