Our free trade brethren and those across
the border should arrange for a joint
convention at some convenient point
to construct some sort Of a common
platform. They should either agree that
the tariff is tax upon the con sumer, or
that 1t is not tax. AS the business is now
managed the free trade papers In the United
States expend columns of space trying to
prove that the tariff is impoverishing the
people by adding the duty to the actual cost
OF the commodity and forcing the consumer to
pay his own and the governments expense 8.

The veteran Congressman Dunnell of Min
nesota. chairman of the house committee on
the census has produced a work that well
may stand as his memorial in history. To
him was assigned the difficult task of reap
portioning the representatives according to
the new census. 1t was task which pre-
sented two solutions. The same total num-
Der that are in the present house could have
been retained, thus cutting down the repre-
sentation Of some of the older states while
taking care of the increase of population in
the West, or the total could be increased,
leaving the older states nearly as they are
now. and adding new representatives for
the new states. Col Dunnell has wisely de-
cided upon the latter plan and has carried
out his plan to the satisfaction of all reason
able persons. The twenty -four new congress
men are divided between the two parties ac-
eording TO sectional lines In the fairest posi-
Bile way and what promised to be dangerous

The Fairfield Journal sees in the decision
of the National Trotting Association against
Nelson an Indirect blow at the great horse
breeding enterprises in this state. The case
Is not generally sc considered. The decision
was not against the horse, but certain crook
ed practices of men who were interested in
his success. The horse although barred out
with his owner, comes out OF the case with
flying colors. for even Noble the owner Of
AicryOn, according to the testimony of Mr..
Nelson, recognized the Maine horses worth
and arranged things SO as to share in the
profits of his success. The national associa-
tion tries 10 stop the irregularities of men on
the turf, and it should have substantial sup

Senator elect Gordon of Georgia has prove d
that the terrible Farmers Alliance is made
mp Of human beings after all, who are sus-

other men and bodies of men are. When
Gen. Gordon was canvassing the state he
was opposed with the greatest bitterness by
the Alliance men, even being given to under
stand that his life was not wholly safe in
their hands. When the election came and a
majority of the legislators chosen were found
to be Alliance men it was thought that Cor
don's chances for success were next to MOTH
Ing. He was elected however and while
everybody is wondering why 1t was so, word
comes that General Gorden has become an
