SENATOR PLUMB ON THE TARIFF
COMMISSION

Senator p b. Plumb in an interview
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
THE suggestion of a standing tariff
commission came to me in this way:
was in Kennebunk, Me-, three or four
years ago While there | went through
a shoe factory. The process interested
me, and l made inquiries as 10 the cost
of manufacture and the prices at which
the shoes were sold at the factory. When
l got back to Kansas ! learned that these
same shoes were sold there at two and
three times the price at which they were
turned out with profit in Maine. Whether
this striking inequality was due to grasp
ing middlemen or TO some other cause
don't know. Il occurred to me that a
standing board or commission would be
a good thing. This board could investi-
gate all Of the inequalities between cost
and price. IL could take
evidence to show Just what
duty l. really necessary 10 pro
teCt our industries II could 90 into both
sides Of these questions insteBd Of being
guided as we are too often in congress
bv ex-parte statements. 1t could furn-
ish vast amount Of non-partisan and
reliable information in the fild Of indus
trial economy. And on such informa-
ton we could legislate inteiligeutly. Bat
such board would remove the tariff
question largely from the field Of politics.
| offered provisions for the establishment
Of such a commission in the form Of an
amendment 70 the tariff bill. The pro-
visions were adopted BY the senate. but
stricken out in conference. The manu-
facturers didn't want their business IN
CURED into 80 closely. The Democrats
were unwilling 10 let the tariff question
60 out Of politics.

Hon. Harrison Kelly arrived home last
Saturday and made a speech to the citi-

Emporia Republican says he will be
enthusiastically received whenever he
appears. In view of Mr.. Kellv's attitude
towards and votes on the tariff bill such
declaration from the Republican is
matter of no little surprise, though we
have no doubt that it is correct.

Georgia has the largest number 900 Of
convicts under life sentence of any state
in the Union, and having no state prison
she has to farm them out" with the bal
ance of her state prisoners. Not very
inviting situation for the free and honest
labor of the state, and should the num-
Der increase much above what it is the
state will soon need to establish a penal
colony, or make some other disposition
of that menacing class.

When the storm cloud hovers nigh,
Scorus 10 fold his quivering pinlons
Where the dUsky shadows lie;
But above the dark. dark st0rm-clopd.

While the tempest grOwls beneath him.

With the morning earliest ray.
While the gloomy shades were passing
Through the portals OF the Gay.

Let u seek a higher plane,
Never Shrinking, never fatr.nG,
Never turning back again,
Til the glorious sun Of science,
Bursting through the glOOms or night,
Ger the bright. rejoicing heavens,
Sheds a ray Of radiant light.
Higher be our aspirations,

While achievements grand and noble.

Never weary Of the strife.

And we've gained a higher life.

The Boston Travellers idea of modern
genius in the following is worth remem-
boring:
There has been of late perfect ava
lanche of talk, argument and gossip on
the subject of genius, its rights and its
errors. 1t may be taken for granted that
there is such thing, although modern
writer has defined it as IAN infinite ca
pacity for taking palms, but we are all
conscious that the use of certain capaci-
ties is not genius; that it is the illuminat-
ing flash that sees where talent only
searches. The time is past, however,
when the pOSsessoT of this much-talked-
of gift Is considered as wholly apart from
his fellOwmen, or when it absolves either
man or woman from every day duties.
BE man first, genius afterward," is
not bad advice. The greatest proof of its
possession is not only in seeing the right
more clearly than ones neighbOrs, but in
doing it. There was time when I'M
bearableness of temper and total rebel
Ion against all restraint was thought TO
he one of the marks of this extraOrdi-
nary gift; when faults were excused he
cause the person was genius The
present age is not - lenient. 1t demands
that people shall not only think their
best, but live up TO their thought

All of these men by petition and some
by letter urged Mr.. Douglass to pass the
court bill. He did so at their request
and, if the EAGLE is any judge of the
stuff these gentlemen are made of, they
will now, regardless of party, stand by
him like men. He made the fight they
asked him to make. in the face of an eX-
traordinary opposition in the legislature.
He stood by Wichita then as he stood
by her in every other contest in the legiS-
lature, and his action received then, as
it receives now. the unqualified approval
of every man who believes that it is the
duty of a legislator to represent the
wishes of the majority of his constitu-
ents. None of the men who signed these
petitions can consistently vote for Mr..
Mathewson upon the platform he has
chosen for himself; and the EAGLE be-
lieves that very large number, if not
all them, regardless Of party, will vote
sOlidly for Mr.. Douglass, who, when he
was last a candidate. was elected by a
majority of 600 over his Democratic
opponent
If Mr.. MathewsOn keeps up the fight
on this issue it ought to add about 800
votes to Douglass majority next month.
