There is hardly Republican, in the coun-
try that isn't to-day wishing that the Hon.
Bob Kennedy, Republican member of the
House from Ohio, had been defeated by a
million majority when he ran. Last week
in discussing a contested election case in
the House, he spoke of Senator Quay, the
Chairman of the National Republican Com
mittee, as a branded CRIMINAL and ap-
piled the term 'sneaking towards to those
Senators who aided him in having the Force
Bill postponed. Efforts were made to
get Kennedy to consent that his remarks
about Quay and the Senate might be omit
ted from the Congressional Record. and the
Hon. Bob has given his consent. So the
Record will not contain them. The Hon
orable Julius Caesar Burrows, who was
temporarily in the chair when Kennedy
made his assault on the members of the
Senate, on being asked why he did not call
the speaker to order, said it had been the
precedent for the Speaker i'll such cases to
wait for objections to come from the floor.
The House Republicans seem determined
to make this their last appearance in tle
majority, a remarkable one in the annals OF
parliamentary indecorum.

However burdensome to the North Anne
rican farmer the High Tariff is, it cannot
be said that it is not beneficial to other
lands. 1t enables the farmer of South
America to get his farm implements at half
price, Senator Vest of Missouri, in pre-
pairing for his Senate speech on the McKin-
ly bill, sent to Buenos Ayres in South Anne
RIGA and obtained circulars and price cur
rent issued and distributed there, in the
Spanish language, by leading manufacture
ers of the United States. The prices cur
rent are published in the foreign edition Of
the Mail and Export Journal by one hun
deed and siXty-six American manufacture
ing firms whose goods are protected by the
tariff. Mr.. Vest compiled the following
table showing the difference in the prices
those manufactures charged the American
farmer at home and the South American
farmer abroad

This system extends through most of the
protected manufactures in the United
States. In the last Congressional cam
paign the INDICATOR gave the experience
of the well known hardware firm of Frank
Alexander & Co., of this city, in the mat
ter of cheaper goods for foreign markets.
This firm had to buy hardware for export
abroad, lave it packed as if for foreign
shipment and then have it shipped to
Staunton. That was the way one Virginia
firm had to maneuvre in order to get goods
which they could sell to Augusta farmers
at the same rate Il foreign farmer can buy
them. How long an American farmer will
be willing to be taxed Icy High Tariff in
order that he may pay high price and a
South American farmer pay low one for
the same goods, remains for the American
farmer; whether he be Republican OIL Dem
ocrat, to say.

Editor Vandjcator:
In an article in the Vtrginiau of to-day,
the following language is used. "We regret
to learn that the livery men do not take this
view Of the matter and are talking Of putting
on Buss line, to run at five cents. We be-
lieve the people will greatly prefer the car
line and that the City Council will be obliged
to protect the car line in its franchise Did
not the liverymen have a franchise that de-
manded and was entitled to protection, when
the street car line was established? Let us
ask the writer, Is it fair to the liverymen that
the street car line should carry baggage and
do general hauling business? Now as to the
tain it, that they have under the law and
under their license, the power and right to run
a Buss, line, OF run any ordinary vehicle
drawn by horses, for the purpose Of carrying
either passengers OF baggage. We would sug-
gest that, as the City Council has given the
street line the entire streets of the city, the
police force, and the Park, that they send and
get twenty Pinkerton detectives to assist in
protecting the Street Car Company in its
franchise. LIvERYMEN.

City Park Lake.
Editor YSnlicGt0r.

Editor VJ1adicdt0r
A correspondent in the last VINDIcAToR
writes in favor of a lake in the park. The
idea is a good one. The formation Of the
ground naturally suggests n lake, and beau
cost of either money or labor But isn't there
better way for the city to get a lake? Why
not add to the park the adjoining SO acres be-
longing to the Fair Association? That would
seem to be the thing to do by all means. By
very little grading, the two properties can be
converted into magnificent park with a
splendid drive around a superb lake. That
is the thing to do. And it can be DONE The
Fair, of course, should be held annually, and
it is to the city's interest to have that DONE
The Fair Association would doubtless be
willing to sell to the city with that under
standing. MERCHANT.

| take this method of calling the attention
of the City Council to the expediency Of mod
flying the ordinance requiring real estate
agents to pay license tax of $50, to the city,
for the privilege of doing business therein
The State tax is $50, besides requiring the pay
ment of certain per cent. ON all receipts IT
is we'll known that the towns which are now
making such phenomenal growth in Virginia
owe their rapid advance in great measure to
the indefatigable efforts of their real estate
agents, and instead of attempting to discour-
age these workers and decreasing their num-
beers by taxation, they have wisely given
them every encouragement. Staunton has
already lost immensely in the contributions
of men and means which she has almost driv
Ell away to these new rival towns, and will
she continue this suicidal policy indefinitely ?
An active corps of real estate agents adver-
tises the town, brings in purchasers for sale
able property, enhances the values of all
such properties and brings life and prosperity
to the city. Let the city fathers consider and
reconsider. VERBUM SAP.
