going on before his eyes for forty years.
His words should be warning to peo-

In an editorial in the Sunday issue of
the New York World regarding the
Cleveland interview. which it published
and became responsible for, the follov-
ing paragraph occurs:
After thorough investigation we are
satisfied that all Mr.. Cleveland said for
contained In the first fourteen lines of the
remarks attributed to him. and that he did
not use the coarse and incorporate per-
sonal expressions accredited to him IN q
subsequent portion of the interview.
What does the World mean by the
phrase, 'all Mr.. Cleveland said for pub
licatiOn of a personal character?" Did
he not make any of the expressions re-
garding Mr.. Dana attributed to him, or
did he make them and then enjoin the
reporter not to give them to the public?
Did he make them, and, because Mr..
Cleveland's friends are indignant, did
the World undertake to help him out of
the embarrassing position in. which he
had been put? Did not Mr.. Cleveland
make any remark about the name of his
wife being used in an insulting manner
in the Sun? AS it now stands it is a
confession that the Worlds reporters do
not report but create.

had made decision it was violation of
the Bowman act for the committee to
investigate further, but must report the
decisions of the court as Judgment to
be paid. The friends of the bill first
insisted that the claims could not be
considered on their merits, but that the
decision of the court was final, and all
the House could do was to pay the
amounts called for, but they were forced
to yield this claim upon the reading Of
the Bowman act, under which the claims
were referred to the court. They next
insisted on having the committee of the
whole take up each case separately, but
Mr.. Thomas of Wisconsin asserted that
over half of them had been rejected by
the Southern claims commission. point
ed out one in which the claimants
had made a donation to the rebel cause
early in the war, and declared that it
would be impossible to present before
the committee of the whole the evidence
of the disloyalty of many OF the claim
ants, as it was in the confederate arch
ives. This demand was abandoned.
Finally resolution was adopted to the
effect that the bill be reported back to
the committee on war claims with in
structions to report upon the loyalty OF
each claimant. A long discussion fol-
lowed, and finally the resolution, after
being amended so as to place the bill,
when reported back, at the head of the
private calendar for consideration, was
adopted and reported to the House.
There another contest arose. Mr.. Enloe
was quick to demand the previous ques-
ton, but Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio made a
point of order against the resolution, to
the effect that it changed rule of the
House in the clause requiring the claims
bill, when reported back, to be placed
at the head of the calendar for consider

the Republicans argued that the point
was well taken and the Democrats that
it was not, but all the argument was with
the former, as the rules declare that no
change can be made without days no.
tice. The Speaker ruled that the point
was well taken and that such resolu-
ton could not be passed at that time.
and there ended the fight.
Two facts must impress all those who
carefully read the debate and the action
of the members on this subject, which
are, first, that the Southern Democrats,
as body, reinforced by nearly all of
the Northern Democrats, were intent on
passing this omnibus bill. aggregating
half million dollars, and, second, that
it would have been done but for the
persistent and effective hostility of the
Republicans, led by Messrs. Thomas of
Wisconsin, Grosvenor of Ohio, and
Cannon of Illinois.

FARM PRODUCTS AND THE TARIFF.


How the Duties Imposed on Agricultural
Products Are Regarded In Canada
Milwaukee Sentinel ssts
The free-trade organs declare that duties
imposed on imported agricultural products,
such as grain, cattle. potatoes. butter,
cheese. etc., give no protection TO the Amer
lean farmer. They claim that the price of
such articles is not enhanced in the home
market by the duty. At the same timc
they allege that all articles which the
farmer buys are enhanced in price TO the
extent of the duty on imported goods OF the
same class.
1t would be very extraordinary if. in
fact. a protective duty did not affect the
price of farm products while increasing
that of all other articles. The proposition
looks so illogical that it cannot be accepted
unless sustained by absolute proofs Until
then it must be classed as campaign lie
invented to catch the farmers votes. for
which the free-traders have an irrepressi-
BILE yearning.
In Canada there is a very clear convic-
tion among all classes that the duties inn
posed by the United States on agricultural
products operates to exclude the people or
the Dominion or to give them a dIsadvart-
age in our markets. The people OF Canada
posed increase of such duties by the new
tariff bill. They regard the United States
as their best market. Notwithstanding the
present tariff. their exports TO this coun-

trade between the two countries they would

latter, who, with unfounded distrust of
his more fortunate brother, withdraws
his confidence, and then, unreasonabiy
enough, considers himself aggrieved.
The man who does not respect himself
and his calling, dishonors that calling,
and does not deserve the respect OF his
fellow-men. This self-respect is not
manifested, as some seem to think, by
assuming an attitude of bristling ag-
gressiveness toward the world, but by
believing that all honest work is honor
able, whether that of the blacksmith,
the stone-cutter, the professional man
or the manager of vast railway sys-
tenn, and by holding to this belief in the
treatment of all men.

SOME REBEL CLAIMS,

Friday in the House of Representa-
tives is set apart for consideration of
private claims unless the House votes
otherwise. Last Friday the Republican
leaders desired to go into committee of
the whole to consider the legislative ap-
preparation bill, but while Mr.. Butter
worth was making this motion, Mr.. En-
loe, of Tennessee. jumped in with a
question of privilege" the effect of
which was to remind Speaker Reed that
Friday was set apart for consideration
of private claims and bills, to which the
Speaker replied that such was the case
unless the committee on appropriations
and the House wanted it for something
else. Those who wanted Friday for
the passage of the Southern claims bill,
a job in aid of which Mr.. Enloe
has been blocking private pen
sion bills the past few weeks, demanded
the yeas and nays. The attendance
was thin, more Republicans being
absent than Democrats, SO Mr.. Butter
worth's motion was defeated by a vote
of 112 yeas to 116 nays. In the list of
yeas are the names of few Democrats

. ANOTHER street-car motor, said to be q
success so far as tried. is being expert
mented with in Washington. The purpose
of the inventor was to avoid the use of
overhead wires on electric roads. and cars
run on experimental tracks laid in field
indicate that he has solved the problem.
The technical explanation of the system is
given as follows:
The main conductors to carry the current lie
completely insulated under ground, and are per-
fectly SAFE Another line. called the trolley line,
in sections of convenient length, run along the
inner edge of the track. There is no power after
the car passes over section, as the troIly- line
current passes off. Only the immediate section
on which the car Is moving has any power. the
ones before and behind being completely cut Off.
On this principle there can be no waste or dan
ger. The percentage of waste is reduced to that
immediate section upon which the current is
playing. The car can easily ascend very steep
grade, and can be Immediately stopped or started.
