but 80 years of age.

William Grimes, the subject of this
| sketch, was born in Perry county, Ohio,
on the 9th day of November, 1857, and is
! therefore, 80 years of age. In the usual in
stitution he received his education. As he
is a thorough man he was then thorough
boy. After school days were over he con-
tinued on his fathers farm until be was 20
years of age. and then decided 10 push out
into the world for himself Upon leaving
home Mr. Grimes went to Hastings, Neb
and was engaged upon the Hastings Ga
zette, now the Gazette-JOurnal. He took
the place of cOmpositor and was thus en-
gagged for two years. He then went to
Ohio, and while there married Mary
Cleaver, the amiable daughter of William
and Martha Cleaver. of Harveysburg,
Ohio Mr. and Mrs Grimes soon after
their marriage removed to johnson coun-
~, Nebraska. where they made their home
in the city of Sterling. In 1885 he was
elected sheriff Of Johnson county, and in
every way proved 10 be successful officer.
About the 18th day of April. 1889, he re-
signed the Office Of sheriff of johnson
county and came into Oklahoma on the
memorable 22nd day Of April. 1859.
and secured a valuable claim adjoining
the city of Kingfsher. He first became
identified in Oklahoma by taking an active
part in the anti-provisional government
scheme, and was chosen the chairman of
the executive committee for the western
district OF Oklahoma. Was afterwsrd
chosen president Of the board Of trade OF
kingfsher Was the first man 10 solicit

party, which was afterwards very con-
spieuously felt in the Oklahoma City con-

The Republican congressman, we re-
greet TO see, are developing penchant
for making public spectacles of them
selves. The first lesson a public man
needs 10 learn, and one that he should
keep fresh in mind at all times, is that of
discretion. A person cannot afford, on
his own account or that of his associates.
to speak bis mind at all times and on
every occasion, no difference how great
the provocation. And. besides. there
is a wide difference between crit
cism and denunciation; the former Is
always admissible, but the latter very
rarely. Pointing the foregoing to the
display made by Representative Kennedy
on the floor of the house on Wednesday.
and in the minds of many he laid him
self open 10 as severe structures, from a
standpoint Of party interests, as he
passed upon some Of his party peers.

THE BASIS FOR SOLVING THE TARIFF
PROBLEM

The tariff problem presents a different face with
every particular item OF every schedule and gen.
eral rule covers tt.-Topeka Capital
This Is but another way of stating the
proposition as put by General Hancock
when he said that the tariff is mainly a
local question that must be settled by the
voters as their interests dictate. If true.
that fact of itself furnishes the explana-
ton OF why ii j. so difficult of satisfactory
adjustment The only basis upon which
the issue can be adjusted is a recognition
Of the principle of the greatest good to the
greatest number, which is the KEY stone to
the arch of our political system. When
that i accepted by the people of all sec
lions and interests the vexatious problem
will be solved, but not before with any
degree Of deiiniteness Wichita EAGLE.
When the EAGLES standpoint is ac-
cepted by the people generally and con-
coded by the party leaders the tariff
problem will be we'll started towards
solution. The first point TO be insisted
on Is that the construction of the tariff
schedules be made not q party but
business issue. As nearly as possible the
difference in labor cost in production in
the United States and other countries
should he protected The higher wages
IN the United States, represented bv the
tariff, necessarily drives wages down
lower In other countries. 10 make
competition for the trade Of the United
States possible. We can well afford 10
protect our labor from the European
standard of wages: but we can not be
expected 10 render il possible for manu-
facturers 10 put eXorbitant prices on
their goods with inpunitv.-Topeka

SUNFLOwER SKINNER.

We all know now what Massillon would
have said had he known Senator Beck.
1t wasn't Washington club that beat
| Mr.. Anderson-it was the Fifth district
club
In the prospect of the next campaign
there is very little comfort in the thought
of a release.
There is another row in Leavenworth.
Some of lions have been trying to beard
Daniel again.
1t is said that only thirty-four families
live in Seward county. This must include
their wives folks, too.
1t looks like Morrill, is going to allow his
district to renOminate him, just for the
sake of splicing Dan Anthony.
Congressman Morrill, ought to write a
confidential letter to Pat Coney stating his
position and relieve the strained condition
OF politics in the First district.
A Sedgwick county farmer wrote to a
Peoples party's candidate in regard to
Riding his pigs of worms. The candidate
told him to look in the St. Louis platform
4 Clay Center minister baptized fifty
four persons at st. Louis last Sunday.
Such an action is to be deplored. This
joke about the dryness of our Kansas
streams has been carried almost too far.
Fashion note: Mr.. Plumb's resolution
for the suppression of the liquor traffic in
the senate wing of the capitol will
probably bring the pantaloons with two
hip pockets back into style in Washington
again.
Now that Father Eskridges fight on
ingalls, is almost at an end, he ought to
come out and tell the state how he hap
pened to start out to fight the senator. We
don't want any ''skyrocket" or eighteen
years" answers.
The Kansas editor who saved his last
years sample ears of corn is taking them
down off the wall and piling them to-
gether to see how many bushels they will
make. 1t is another case of useful as
well as ornamental"
The Lawrence Journal Tribune still
silently ignores Farmer Funston. The
Athens of Kansas will probably never be
reconciled to be represented by a man who
would take 20, thalassa" to be the Scotch
for ''Ah there, my girl"
Ex-Governor Robinson wrote to a friend
in Topeka the other day; Charles
Robinson does not appear before two diff
ferent conventions in the same year"
Robinson may be a Democrat at heart,
but he uses Republican tactics when it
comes to matters of the head
John Davis, a candidate for congress in
the Fifth district, says mans past record
should count for nought and ought not to
be brought up against him. Mr.. Davis
may be sound and all that, but he is the
only man who has appeared of late who
is willing to make fight on platform of
anti-human nature.
Old warriors say that when Jim Halo
well came back from the war with his
bright uniform on and his military bear
ing, he was the greatest masher in Indi-
ana. He was the favorite with the women.
Now, no one ever heard anything like that
about Jerre Simpson, except, probably,
that he was a sour-masher.
Leeford Brady in a short sermon to
young men says: 1T does not pay to help
a man unselfshly." This is a modest way
Brady has OF informing the state that Col.
Phillips and the editor of the Salina Re
publican had an understanding in regard
to the spoils, before they bUckled on their
armor.

sufficient OH.

d sun1Cleub quantity dlreauy
discovered and In process of rapid de-
velopment to supply this country, and
that in exclusive control of English sub
jects and English capital, there are those
who contend that it is right to extend to
these aliens the benefits of our protective
saystem, and for what? Certainly not
for the purpose of enabling the English
operators of the American mines to COM
pete successfully with their countrymen
who own and operate the other tin mines
of the world, and at the expense of the
American consumers! And yet if not,
what for?
lin Is now on the free list, but it is
proposed by the pending tariff bill now
before the senate to place a heavy tax on
the product of this country to be paid by
our own people for The exclusive bene-
fit of aliens. That it is not necessary to
encourage the infant industry and
enable it to become strong enough
to compete with the product of the
world is shown by the fact that the
operators of the Dakota mines secured
control of them and at once begun ex-
tensive and expensive preparations for
working the mines and manufacturing
their products into merchantable shape
when there was no tariff duties on the
foreign article, the only incentive being
the propitableness of the enterprise on its
own account.
Is it any wonder that with these con-
ditions confronting him Mr.. Plumb
should have contended earnestly against
the outrage that is proposed to be per-
petrated upon his countrymen for no
other purpose than to satiate the greed
rich foreigners?
And is it any wonder that the people
OF this country are becoming supremacy
disguised with the lead of the men who
join in fastening such iniquitieS upon
the country? Let him answer who can.

A curious case of death is that report
ed from Toronto, where woman is said
TO have died of seasiclness. Such in
stances are of very infrequent occurrence
although, of course, they are liable to
happen at any time. But the general
disturbance of the system that is common
to unseasOned travellers on the ocean, al
though sufficiently severe at the time, is
not of fatal tendency. And in this case
the victim of seasicllness had never been
at sea. She had Travelled only on the
lakes, and there the nausea that ended
her life was induced.

ance with the Republican platform, which
promised TO reduce the duties on articles
OF necessity and 10 raise revenue, if neces-

The government thinks "A great deal Of
silver or else it would never buy 10000
ounces in day.-Atchison Champion.
1t is not SO much love for silver as fear
on the part of the secretary of the law
and the presence Of the congress that
passed it that prompts its observance by
that official. However, it Is but just to
him 10 note his determination to observe
the letter Of that law in regard to silver
purchases. The law is not just what
the people wanted, but as the best that
could be done at the time it is accepted
and the people have the right to expect
a faithful observance of its requirements.

The decrease in the Republican major
ity in Vermont is not as easily accounted
for as the increase in the Democratic
majority in Arkansas, but it may ac-
count for the increase Of interest in the
contest in Maine. The situation up there
is quite interesting, it must be allowed,
with Mr.. Blaine personally representing
the reciprocity theory and Major Mehin-
ley, the champion of high protection,
helping Speaker Reed, as if there was
doubt of his reelection.

not aware that there existed the slightest
doubt of the usual Republican majority

are almost tempted to ask: What's the
matter with Maine!

Interest in the reported discovery that
leprosy is not an incurable disease will
not be confined to the medical fraternity.
There is no scourge with which humanity
is afflicted that Is regarded with deeper
feelings of horror. Fortunately its scope
is restricted, but the sufferings of Its
victims arouse the universal sympathy
of mankind. If DR.. Lott. who has
charge of the unfortunates at Molokai, is
correct in his opinions, it is possible that
in time leprosy may be entirely stamped
out. The world will rejoice to know
that such conclusions have a sure
foundation in successful experiments of
medical treatment.

Affairs are quiet in the Hawaiian Is

home rule, only got so far as topetition
for amendments to the constitution,
which will probably be granted. SO Kali

A Philadelphia magistrate has held for
trial several street peddlerS who were
selling Tolstoi's "Kreutzer Sonat a,
.ruling that the book is obscene. A New
York Judge has ruled otherwise on the
same question, but it was scarcely to be
expected that in Philadelphia the court
would dare to array itself in opposition
to the Bethany Sunday school superin-
tendent postmaster general. Wanna
makers department has decided that the
"Kreutzer Sonata is obscene literature,
and, sense or not, that is law in Phila-
delphia, depend upon it.
