Too Late,

Our esteemed contemporary, the atlanta
Constitution, casts a pltying eye upon
the Claimant, and exclaims that NOW IS
the time for Mr.. Cleveland to cut loose
from the Mugwumps." The pity aud adj
vice come too late. Mugwnmpery has
become Zone of his bono and flesh of bis
too solid adipose. The time for him to
cut loose from the Mugw jumps was March
4, 1ce5. The venom was working in him
even then. He had gone ont of his way
to propitiate and thank the Mugwumps by
kneelIng down before the civil service
humbug, the tinest of II cir little tin
gods. But when he became President be
might have thought of his obligation and
duty to the Democracy. He might have
striven to serve it, to strengthen it, to
help its friends and thwnrt its enemies.
to be true to its principles and to labor
for Its success. Instead Of doing so, he
sought only the qualification Of his own
vanity and sensatlonslism. The Mug
wumps fattered him to the top OF his
bent. In the progress OF the fatty degen-
GRAFTON of his political conscience, he
went from civil service examinations to
free trade, always with Mugwump ap-
plause. His elephantine gambols were
played to that small audience of prigs,
while the great Democratic party which
had trusted him, honorsd him, and been
betrayed by him, turned away in disgust.
When the Ethiopian changes his skin
and the leopard bis spots, the Claimant
will give up Mugwumpery. At this mo-
ment, when he Is trying to filch the laur-
els of Democratic victory which he saw
only as a straggler or a skulker, and to
be renOminated for President as reward
for the treachery and the folly by which
he brought disaster upon his party, he il
az little of Democrat and as much of a
Mugwump as he has been for the last
seven years. He is too old to change and
be weighs too much. He is a heavy but
not an elastic body, and must stay as he
Is, with all his Mugwumpery in him.

The farmers of the west who defeated
so many Republican candidates for con
gress, should get together and agree upon
specific instructions to the Democratic
congress respecting the changes they
want made in the tariff law. Perhaps
these farmers want the duty of thirty
cents a bushel on flax removed, in order
that they may be spared the trouble and
relieved of the uncertainties attending
the raising of that crop. The removal of
this duty will be a sure way of accom-
plishing that end. When that is done
tbey will not want to raise any more flax.
And while they are at 1t they might give
directions to have the thirty cent duty on
barley also removed. They could thus
save their fields the wear and tear of an
other crop, the raising of which their
Canadian brethren will willingly take off
of their hands if they are only allowed
unrestricted access to the American mar
ket. Thousands of western farmers voted
in favor of this very thing, and sent men
to congress to act in concert with party
which is committed to just that kind of
policy. If these men do not work for the
repeal of the duties above referred to,
they will not be carrying out their In
struotIons. In order to be consistent, the
farmers who elected them ought to furnish
them with set of neat and plainly writ

their minds that they are there tor that

THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Whittier, Fuller Co. Score One I'm
p"rtant Point in Their Litigation.
Judge Hoffman yesterday dissolved the
injunction restraining the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company from hauling the oil-carS
OF Whittier, Fuller IL Co. of this city. This
order is complete triumph for the firm
named in its litigation against the Standard
Oil monopoly.
The Standard Company invented and
used certain cars for transporting oils to
the Pacific Coast These cars were made
with tanks at each end in which to transfer
the oil and with an open space in the mid
die Tor the storage of other sorts of mer-
chandlse. BY this device the Standard
Company was able to send its oil out here,
ana IN returning the cars other freights III
the middle open compartments, thus saving
the $50 freight for the return OF each car
MS gave the company an advantage Of
that sum per car in competing with other
oil firms, but Whittier, Fuller & Co. had
constructed certain cars in which the oil
tanks were placed III the middle of the cars
and the open spaces at each end. They
were thus enabled to compete with the big
oil monopoly. The Standard Company, I'M
known TO Whittier Fuller Il Co., and in al
legged collision with the Southern Pacific
Company, obtained an injunction restrain
ing the latter from hauling the rival cars
upon the ground that the cars were infring-
ment of their patent.
Whittier, Fuller & Co. accidentally learned
OIL the move and managed to interplead be-
lore their rights were DESTROYED
