'Why, it ought to have its title

10 bamboozle the farmers, pay off the
Republican debts of the last camaign,
and provide for the expenses OF the
next. 1t has no underlying principle.
1t proposes duty of 10 per cent. on
hides to hood wink the farmer, who
will not get the benefit of it so far it
alleges to protect the agriculturst.
Yet it cuts the duty on sugar, which
is blow at the planter. One woul
imagine that if the Republican party
really desired to protect any farm
laborer, it would certainly take care
the poor negro. 1t is the negro who
makes the sugar crop in Louisiana.
When it is question of protecting
him in his right of suffrage, which
they claim is abridged, the land rings
with their appeals in his behalf. But
he has no place in a Republican
tariff bill, made to catch votes, or to
SOW the seed of a campaign corruption
fund. They expect to gain no polit-
ical advantage in Louisiana, and care
nothing for the negro votes in that
locality. They must make a show Of
reduction, so they cut sugar as an in

fried for the corruption fund have
read Speaker Reeds speech, and no.
ted that he said that the Republican
party would be satisfactory TO the
people. Mr.. Reed speaks in the very
teeth OF history. No protective
party has ever passed a satisfactory
tariff bill, and none will or can.
Every protective tariff bill passed has
been followed Immediately by agita-
ton for its repeal. Protection is like
the drinking habit, the more you take
of it the more you want, and the less
able you are to bear it, until finally a
collapse must come. A satisfactory
protective tariff is an impossibility.
The people at large are never salts
fed with it; all the protected inter
ests do not get an equal share, and
even those which get the lions share
want more. The fact is the only
tariff that ever satisfied the people
was the Democratic"

A FIRE TRAP.
Six Victims of An Incendiary.

ST. LOUIS, June "A building on Frank
lin avenue, the second floor of which is &C.
cupied as "A tenement By several families
and the lower floor as "A paint shop, was
discovered TO be on fire at three o'clock this
morning AS soon as the tircmen arrived a
stream of water was turned on the burning
building, but no effort was made TO rescue
the occupants until loud sore ans from the
second story indicated that there were
helpless people inside. The hremen en-
tered and found the family of George Wolf
struggling in the smoke and flames in the
two front rooms. Mr.. Wolf was frightfully
burned and was lying helpiessly on the
floor. His wife and two children were also
burned, and his father, nearly 20 years Of
age, had been smothered 20 death in his
bed. Charles Hauss, who occupied the
rear apartments with his wife and child,
had just gone TO work, and his wife and
little son were caught in the flames. Mrs.
Hauss could have escaped, but her little
boy was so frightened that he ran unCer the
bed, and in the frantic mother efforts to
save her child she was dangerously burned.
The child was found in an unconscious
condition, but the mother is able TO speak.
After rescuing the inmates the hremen
turned their attention to eXtinguishing the
flames, which succumbed in a short time.
The damage will amount to $40, 900; insured.
George HYDE, the lessee, has been arrested
on suspicion OF having fired the building.

little Archie Campeau of Lake George, a
village 40 miles from Ottawa, when a

of "Help, help" from the Campeau cot

agony upon the floor, and near by, gaspiDg
and helpless, lay their mother and the aged
grandfather of the little ones, the latter re-
lapsing into insensibility at the fearful Wis
itation of torture and death which he had
innocently brought upon the unfortunate
household While raising the suffering
woman from the floor iuto an easier posi-
ton, the terrified neighbor heard her muir

learned the cause of the fe irful situation,
at once gave the alarm. Soon the settle

rs a CLERGYMAN SUBJECT TO
THE ALIEN LABOR LAW2
The Events OF a Week in Our Own
State.
A UNIQUE Case.

SAULT STE. MARIE, June 3.-Rev. Mr..
Green, pastor of the EscInaba Episcopal
church, will probably be tried under the
alien contract labor law. He was a pastor
at the Canadian 500 church, and while
serving there was contracted with to sup
ply the Escanaba pulpit. He claims that
he was ignorant of the law, but that will
not probably satisfy District Attorney l..
ID. Palmer of Grand Rapids, who is invest
igating the matter There is no doubt that
Mr.. Green WAS unconscious OF any law
breaking, but whether the court will take
cognizance Of this fact is another question.
The local business men are also on the
anxious seat as many of their clerks are
Canadian people. The alien contract law
makes it punishable by fine or imprison'
ment to send from the United States TO any
foreign country for help of any kind, with,
out going through u prescribed method and
paying certain sum for the privilege.
The penalties are graded much the same
as for smuggling and may be made very
severe For the violation Of section |, OF
the act, fine OF 81 900 may be imposed.
In all Cases the persons brought in illegally
may be sent back. The case of the Episco-
pal preacher will be unique.

WASHINGTON, May 29-The capitol city

streets on the way TO the unwilling of Gen.
Robert 4. Lees statue at Richmond. The
five Michigan congressman who are ex-
soldiers spoke freely OF the demonstration.
Belknap OF Grand Rapids took the most
radical view. He was but Is years old

igan. With much feeling and emphasis

government throttle any man who dares TO

TO wear any scrap OF confederate gray. II

man, who fought against the
Union, from in any way using old flags or
uniforms or perpetuating his disloyalty."

miles from the place where the Lee demon
stration is going on, and his capture was
followed by six months in Andersonville

ton is greatly TO be regretted" said Col.

Gore hall and Boylston hall were also

also built big bonfire on the campus, and
one student cremated his dress suit in the
exuberance of his pride. The remnants Of
whisky bottles are many, and the total loss
TO the college property will reach nearly
$1,000 The result of the Mott Haven
sports was not officially received until
after o'clock Saturday night, up to which
time the students seemed To be well under
restraint; but no sooner was it known that
Harvard had won the cup than all, with
ono accord, burst into cheers of wild de-
light. Within half an hour after the news
arrived, Harvard street was thronged with
intoxicated college youths, who with ghoul-
ish delight made lite miserable for belated
travellers. The police undertook to drive

The Newspapers of the United States.

Nine years ago the tenth census in
cluded an enumeration of the news
papers published in all the states and
territories in 1880. The total number
of periodicals then registered was H.
314, of which 971 were published daily.
The enumeration of Rowclrs Newspa-
per Directory was less complete than
that of Mr.. North for the census.
Rowell, in his edition of 1880, gave
1928 periodicals, and 843 dailies. That
is to say, the figures of the census were
more than 16 per cent. over Rowell's
figures for the total of publications, and
more than 10 per cent. over Rowell for
the number of dailies.
This year Rowell's Directory men,
tons not less than l6.319 papers print
ed in the United States, including ], 494
dailies. If the deficiencies of his emu
meration count in the same proportion
as they did in 1880, as compared with
Prof. North's enumeration for the last
census, the number of periodicals issued
in the United States to-day is not far
from 10. 600. and the number of daily
newspapers not far from 1,700.-N L.

Ben. Franklin is to blame for the
sordid and partial view of success that
prevails in this country. Franklin,
though himself not parsimonious
man, dinned maxims of parsimony into
the ears of the American people so per-
sistcntly, and did it in such a forcible
way. that he succeeded in ingraining
the thought of the American people
with an eminently material philosophy.
The moral of it all is save, save, save
for rainy day. BY dint of evcrlast-
ing repetition of the vision of the rainy
day that has got to be laid up for Ban.

the sunshine out of the days that are
