telegraph companies employ only
men of long experience In the trans
action Of their business. Theee men
have been making life study of
their occupation, aud still the COM
panics are constantly contending
against inefficient and unsatlsfac-
tory service. Any man of ordinary
intelligence could predict the conse-
quenccs OF turning those systems, or
even u considerable portion Of them,
over to the control of an army of
amateurs, not even amateurs by
choice, who always display q fine
degree of enthusiasm, but COM
pulsory dilettanti. The result would
simply mean that the government
would dcmoralize the postal service,
lose great deal of money, aud rem
der such unsatisfactory service that
the corporations would go on COM
manding the business.
Mr.. Wanamaker falls into error In
still another direction, He insists
that this Is a matter that greatly
concerns the people, whose sole
champion he has now become. AS
II matter of fact, nine-tenths Of the
business of the telegraph companies
comes from commercial and busl-
ness men who are members of in
fluential organizations, and there
fore In position to express their
wrongs or manifest their discomfort.
The average farmer or workingman
finds little occasion to employ the
telegraph, and when he does he
probably prefers to give his business
to skilled service and not to am
ateurs.
When Mr.. Wanamaker, or any
other official, lays a common-sense,
feasible scheme before the public II

THE FIGHT IN 'S2.

Ii Is early yet to speculate upon
the next fight for the presidency,
Still II is interesting to note the drift,
slight as 1t is and liable to change
long before the summer of 1892.
Asin 1885, the tariff will surely
be the leading issue, and the theater
of contest will be New York state,
Indiana, Connecticut and three or
four of the purely agricultural states
of the West.
A great deal depends upon the
times that follow the passage of the
Mckinley bill. Here in the Pacific
Northwest, where all local interests
and infant industries are amply
protected, we are apt to look upon
that bill through altogether different
glasses from those worn by
the farmers of Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska and Wisconsin. The
Mckinley bill Is popular
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
because it affords protection to our
wool, lumber, lead, hides, coal and
iron. We are glad to get protection
upon those raw products and also
upon their manufactures, because
we have the water power to manu-
facture them and the seaboard to
ship them to the growing markets
of the Orient. Then again, we are
interested in seeing the government
derive a large revenue, because IL
affords means by which the har-
bors and rivers of the Pacific North
west may be improved.
But the purely agricultural states
of the West have no lead, lumber,
iron or coal to be protected-only "
wool and the sorghum and beet
sugar industries In Kansas and pos.
sible in Iowa and Nebraska.
Neither have they any harbors to
improve nor rivers to dredge. Since
these agricultural states are all In
the republican column, there Is
danger that the party may sacrifice
their electoral votes by passing the
high /. tariff Mckinley bill. The
features which make that measure
so popular upon the Pacific coast
have u tendency to weakeE the
party elsewhere. This is unavoida
ble. In national politics no party
can take all the tricks. Victory is
measured often by the narrowest OF
margins. The republican leaders
have seen fit to fight upon the high
tariff field. Time alone can fully
verify the wisdom of this deternii.
nation.
Grover Cleveland, barring unex-
pected developments, will be the
nominee Of the democracy. On that
point there can be little room fol-
doubt.
Indications are rather against the
denomination of President Harrison.
The Civil Service Reform League will
fight him with vigor, and probably
with effect. If any doubts had re-
maincd upon that score they were
swept away by the resolutions
adopted at the Boston meeting
Thursday. The hostility there ex-
pressed is not veiled; 1t Is open and
emphatic, and means that the whole
weight of the league will be exerted
against Mr. Harrison should his
name be placed before the conven-
tion.
Unfortunately jor the president,

THE mKINLEY BILL.

With the government Of the
United States in the hands Of the
free trade party there would he re-
turn to the old-time dependency
upon the manufactures of Europe.
With the republican party writing
the tariff laws, the United States
will adopt the motto, american
markets for American products; let
tho rich pay for foreign luxuries."
The Sunday REVIEW carried
great deal of good news-informa-
ton that will set large number of
thinking men to congratulating
themselves on the passage of the
Mckinley tariff bill. That measure
Is already at work shutting out the
products and manufactures of for
eign farms and factories. 1t pro-
tects alike the manufacturer and the
producer of raw materials. 1t will
stimulate production and encourage
the erection of new manufacturers.
1t Is based upon the conlmon-sense
principle that the United States
need never hope to compete extern
sively with Great Britain in the
South American countries so long
as she Is unable to shut England out
Of her own markets. Let us first
attend to the home markets, and
then II will be high time to talk
about reciprocity.
There was other cheering news In
the dispatches Sunday morning
new battieships have been ordered,
and the cruiser San Francisco has
made a satisfactory test and has
been practically accepted. 1t would
be a dull man who could not read
the signs Of the times. Tho United
States, under the benehcent and
wise administration Of the party
now In power, is taking on new
strength. Her wealth, Der popula-
ton and her resources entitie her to
take rank rs the greatest nation up
on the earth. At last her states
men appear to have studied out the
grand policy that will give the ma
ton renewed strength and pros
perity. There Is no reason under
the sun why the people of the
United States should trade with
England. We have all her re-
sources, and more. We have raw
products, and we have the labor.
Our trade naturally should turn
toward the tropical countries, but
at the same time it must not be
courted at the expense of our own
producers. We want none of their
hides their lead, their wool or beef,
because American labor can and
does produce theA in abun dance;
but we do want their coffee, spices,
drugs, dyestuffs and tropical fruits.
Reciprocity in those products is benz
efcial; reciprocity that competes
with home products would be vi
cious. There is a wide distinction
between the two propositions, so
plain that none need confound
them.
AT the same time the United
States will experience difficulty in
commanding reciprocal advantages
from the South American states.
They can sell their products in a
score of markets, and can buy their
goods in the same number, and nat
urally they will buy where they can
obtain manufactures the cheapest,
and sell where they can get the
most. If Mr.. Blaine can figure rec
iprocity out of that he will be enti-
tied to the gratitude of the nation.
In the meantime the hope of this
nation rests within itself. IL is pre-
posterous for it TO look longingly to-
ward the foreign markets and at the
same time permit Europe to rob it Of
the home demand.

GOVERNOR PRlScy, of New Mexico
should not be permitted 60 make use OF
his official position to indulge in inyii-
ious comparisons against the new states.
II is in shocking taste, and besides that
is glaringly untrue. The resent census
gives the territory nearly las. 600 popula.
,ion. That is far short of Washington
or either of the Dakotas. The assertion
that the people of New Mexico arc
superior to those OF either of the new
states in the way of intelligence is
equally glaring. The REVIEW has moth
ing to say against the whites, but within
the territory are many thousand Greas-
ers and MeSicans, whose standard OF in
tellectuality is dangerously low. It's
this element that has kept tho territory
out of the Union and not lack OF pop
ulation. Congress should investigate
the claims OF New Mexico, and If it is
found that the white people are In safe
control, the territory should be admitted,
regardless of its political leanings. The
republican party is too broad and great
to stand In the path of progress. our
democratic friends attempted that ana
made lamcntable failure.

ENTERED AT POSTOPFICE AS SECOND CLASS MATTER
NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid down
by the United States Government for
the protection of newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscription.
Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals, the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrear-
ages are paid.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and
papers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office before
removing and leaving them uncalled for
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
Ifsubscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end OF their time, if they do not
wish to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it on and
the subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice, with payment of all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
Publishers OF newspapers can under
law, arrest any man for fraud who takes
a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law it is dangerous trick for man
to allow his subscription account to run
on for six months to year and half,
unpaid and then tell the postmaster to
mark "refused" or to send the editor
a notice to discontinue the paper.

headquarters edi6ce in Louisville, KY.

will be lasting monument and tribute
to the progress and energy of the Negro
race. At the last national convention
Louisville was selected as the site of the
future building. Now we hope that
every Negro and all the white people of
this country will see the good of the
work and aid US literally in it. All sub
scriptions to be addressed by postal

to the generosity of the people of United
States"

Mack who has been working on the
