approved Of the position Governor
Hoard had taken on the Bennett
law; that he foresaw the defeat If
the Republican party IN this state if
that question was to be pressed as
an issue, and, in fact, that he had
made up his mind to abandon the
sinking craft as measure of self
preservation. 1t was further repre-
scented that Mr.. Payne would be
willing still to serve as chairman if
the advocates Of the Bennett law
would abandon that question as an
issue in the state campaign. The
story turns out to be almost pure
fabrication. In mild terms it is a
campaign roorbach, 1t is admitted
that Mr.. Payne, from the constant
pressure Of his own private interests,
has desired for two or three years
past to be relieved from the onerous
and responsible duties of the chair
mansbip, but he is not the man to
shirk when his party demands his
services And nov, despite these
unsupported rumors to the contrary,
it is aulboritadveIy announced that
he viii abide the decision Of the
state convention and if that body
still desires him to head their com
nittee be will be at the service Of
his party in that capacity. He has
never said he would not accept.
The reverse is the fact. and the con
yention will act wisely in re-eleetlng
him.

The Pubic School System.

The WeStera RtraL speaks on this
subject in the following sensible
language: "I'here is a class Of peo-
pie, though we cannot believe that
it is very large, that seems to regard
the American public school system
pretty much as a bull regards red
flag. We believe that much Of
whatever opposition of this charac-
ter exists, Is the result of ignorance
of Just what the public school sys-
TEN is. There can be but one result,
however, OF this opposition to free
and compulsory education Of the
children Of this Republic, and that
j. the ultimate overwhelming defeat
and confusion of those who are
autagonistic to our public schools.
The public school is commendable
feature Of the American system, and
the vast majority of the American
people, native born and f)r sign
born, will defend 1t aud preserve IT..
The American child, the future
citizen Of the Republic, of which he
is TO be a vital part, must have an
opportunity to secure an education
and be taught, too, to be a thorough
going American. This is America,
with American pecuiaritles. Our
doors are open to all who desire
reyerentIy to bow al the altar OF
liberty and to become American
citizens, We simply ask respect
for our ways aud our institutions.
The state here has nothing to do
with the church, and the church
has nothing whatever to do with
the state. Let there be no mistake
made as to the temper Of the people
Of the country upon this feature of
our system. One church has just
as much privilege As another, but no
church Of whatever name or nature
must venture to put his hand upon
our civil affairs"

true remark, cannot fail to discover

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGToN, d. G.. April is. 1890

" WASHINGTON, ID. T.. "A pril is. lSSQ.
Senator Mitchell is in dead earnest
about his proposed constitutional
amendment for the election of
members OF the United States SEN
ate by direct vote of the people,
and has given notice that he will
address the Senate in its favor next
Tuesday. If Mr.. Mitchell can con-
vince the Senate to pass the amend
ment it would be almost certain to
become a law, as far as Congress is
concerned, as there is q large and
growing sentiment in the House in
favor of such change, aud it seems
to be generally believed here that
such change will eventually be
made.
The funeral OF Hon. Samuel J.
Randall, who died last Sunday, took

The Three Americas Congress

A joint committee Of the House
and Senate consisting Of Senators
Aldrich, Allison, sherman, Jones

Couger, Mckinley, Bayne, McKenna
and Bartine are engaged in pre-
pairing a silver bill which is to be
submitted to a republican caucus Of
both Houses, aud if approved is to
pushed through Immediately. The
amount of coinage under it viii not,
it is thought be less than $4,000, 900
per month,
The republican leaders in the
House have been doing some dgur-
ing on the business to be transacted
at the present session, and they have
concluded that by rushing things a
little it will be possible TO adjourn
by July |. For some unaccountable
reason the democrats seem to be
opposed to an early adjournment.
The House has passed the Naval
appropriation bill; also the bill to
reorganize the United States district
courts, and for the addition Of
seventeen circuit judges.
The tariff bill was reported to the
House Wednesday afternoon. At
the last minute hides were put upon
the free list. Sugar is also put upon
the free list, and a bounty Of two
cents per pound provided for the
next fifteen years for the producers
Of sugar in this country 1t is esti-
mated that the bill will make a
reduction of about $7o,o0o,0oo per
annum in the receipts Of the Gov
erunent The report Of the majority
Of the Ways and Means committee
which accompanied the bin says:
at was the aim Of the committee to
fix the duties upon that class Of
manufactured goods and farm
products which can be supplied al

FREE-rRADE, or tariff SO low a. to
permit great volume of importa-
tons, would close every American
factory, drive millions of workmen
into idIeness, destroy the market

Pass the Mckinley BIZ in Has e.


The Mckinley tariff bill is before
the House and the people of the
country. No tariff bill could be
framed that would satisfy every in
terest The man who buys goods
wants a low tariff on the particular
goods that he buys, thinking that it
makes them cost less. The same
man wants high tariff on goods
that he manufactures in order to
protect him against foreign eompe-
tltion. The manufacturer of wooden
cloth wants the tariff removed from
wool so that he can buy it at less
price, but he wants the tariff on his
cloth retained so that importers of
cloth can not undersell him. The
sheep farmer wants the tariff on
wool retained orlncreased to protect
him from free foreign wool growers,
but he wants the tariff removed
from cloth so that he can get cheap
er clothing. The paper-maker wants
the tariff removed from wood-pulp,
but not from paper. The manu-
facturer wants "free raw Materials
but not free manufactures. The
producer wants the same protection
as the manufacturer, and is entitled
TO it.
So the war eyerlastingly goes on
between the producers and consum-
ers, whose positions are iuterchanged
on nearly every commodity in human
use, the producer of one being the
consumer of another, and contrari-
wise through the long aggregations
of articles that are the fruit of
human industry. A tariff that viii
do the best possible for every inter
est and be rs little as possible
burden on any interest is the best
that can be framed. If it helps
everybody considerably and hurts
nobody considerably it is the best
that can be expected.
This, so far as can be determined,
is the purport Of the Mckinley bin
aud will be it, effect if it shall be-
come a law. 1t might be more
perfect but it is the best that could
be done 1t fultills the promise Of
the Republican party for tariff re.
vision and reform and a reduction
Of the revenue. 1t is the only hope
for tariff legislation. The grum-
blprs the seeds. the chronic zfaIsrr.

finds that by stepping out Of the

for him to Immediately accept the
