Gov. Campbell's notion that the Aus

II is not the business of Republicans in
other States to seek to interfere with the
free choice of the Ohio Legislature, but
neither is it any disparagement OF others
to rejoice that the choice now seems GER
tain to fall upon the candidate whose pub
lie services have been so prolonged and so
eminent, whose sagacity and experience
are so greatly needed, and whose retire
ment would be SO deeply deplored by the
best men in both parties.
II seems to us that the withdrawal Of
Senator Sherman from public life in the
near future would be n national calamity,
and would come as near being an irrepar-
able loss as any change of representation
in Congress could inflict. When current
reports have been confirmed and his COM
mission has been extended, popular APP
proval and gratitude will be due and paid
to the Republican majority in the Ohio
Legislature.-New York Times.

OUR FOREIGN TEACHERS.

The ease with which the English edi-
tor assumes knowledge when he has it
not is enviable to the diffident Ameri-
can mind. Our recent elections have
been the subject of some comment
abroad, and that, too, of character
which must excite amusement for the
time, and serve to show how valuable
foreign criticisms ON our affairs usually
are.
Good manners are characteristic Of the
Englishman and therefore Gov. elect
Mckinley is spoken of by the London
Daily News as the author of the "infa-
nous tariff which bears his name." An
other authority gravely asserts that
many prominent Democrats have made
free silver plank in the party plat
FORM" though just what he means by
that is quite difficult to say. This same
gentleman thinks that for electoral pur-
poses, "next to Ohio if not in some re-
spects before it comes New York." after
which philosophical deduction the pro-
ceeds TO inform us that the Democrats
achieved victory in Massachusetts,
which they could not have gained before
the Mckinley tariff" The reduced ma
jority seems to have entirely escaped the
editor in question.
The Standard solemnly announces
that "Ohio has rejected its Republican
governor, but by a majority too narrow
for congratulation." 1t speaks of The
vacancies in congress having been re-
newed last year," and asserts with a
courage which cannot be too much ad-
mired that sup to last year neither
party cared to pronounce too decidedly
on the vexed subject of free trade"
And finally the Daily Ne,cs editorially
sets forth that "the Republicans have
carried the entire State of Philadelphia.
These are extracts from the leading
political organs Of England. They are
the papers which mould and form public
opinion in that country, and yet they are
so ignorant of the United States that
they cannot distinguish between a State
and city. From such teachers as these
our Anglo American free traders learn
their lessons of economies and revenue
laws, and then have the hardihood to
attempt to force them upon an intelli-
gent American public as sound doctrine
taught by the experience of the most en-
hghtened nation in the world.
WE do not claim as a nation to be
omniscient, but we have yet to learn any
thing in the line of the tariff from our
intelligent English cousins who will
calmly assert that the Republican party
has carried the whole State of Philadel-
phia.

GOOD OLD DAYS.

The solicitude of the average Demo
crat for the welfare of the farmer is
usually illustrated by reference to the
good old days of the fifties when prices
were high, the husbandman was rich in
worldly goods and had little work to do.
This is good doctrine to preach to the
ignorant and it appeals to those who
know little and care less about the in
terests of the farmers, but the astonish-
ing fact remains that despite all the
benefits which the low tariff period,
from 46 to go, bestowed upon the far
mers they are almost unit in their be-
lief in protection. Every State where
diversified agriculture forms consider
able proportion of the industry can be
almost surely counted upon as Republi-
can and the reason is that the farmer
who thinks, realizes that the benefit of a
near market is incalculable to him, and
that the cry of good old days of the far
mer is an idle assumption.
A farmer whose practical ownership
of farm dates back over a period of
sixty years in Orange County, New
York, recently described the good old
days of farming in this languages:
~ can remember when we used to haul our
grain, butter, pork, eggs, and everything else
we had to sell all the way 10 Newburgh,
taking one day TO 90 and another day TO come
home. We generally got 10 cents bushel for
oats and 10 cents "a pound for butter. Any
thing like as cents "A bushel for wheat was N
fancy price. IL we got or cents dozen for
eggs we thought we were doing WELL Nice
cOrn-fed pork, dressed, we carted TO market
for S2 a hundred. The butter we put on the
market In those DAYS was the genuine Orange
county article, yellow as gold and as hard AS
a walnut. Ihave sold tubful after tubful of the
choicest butter for 10 cents pound that would
net me 20 cents IL had IL 10 sell now.
THAT was before the Erie Railway camo
through here and put us up 60 selling our milk
instead of making IL into butter, We didn't
have any lime-preserved eggs TO sell in those
days, either. As for taxes, paid 500 on my
farm of 100 acres when was getting 10 cents
Tor my butter. ON the same farm now | pay
less than $50, and / sell my entire dairy Of
milk for what would be more than three'times
10 cents a pound for butter. tell you there
h a good deal OF humbug I'm this referring 10
the good old days as being the golden age of
farming. They were nothing OF the sort,
This octogenarian has struck the key
note of his present prosperity when he
mentioned the word railway. The mag
nifcent system of railways now closely
connecting every farming district with
the cities, and placing a market for his
products almost at the farmers door,
has been built up within the past thirty
years by the industries Of this country,
which have been fostered by the system
of American protection. Take from the
country its industries by the introduc
tion Of free trade. and there will be but
little need of our immense railroad sys-
tens. Take from our country its inn
mense network of railroads. and the far
mer will soon return 10 the good old
days when butter was 10 cents a pound
and he had Go drive half day over
countr. roads " sell il at that price,

THE insidious character of the Louis
lana lottery has been no more aptly de-
scribed than by Father Elliot, when he
said at the great meeting in New York
1--WE meet tonight, united, shoulder to
shoulder, Protestant, Catholic, jew and
Gentle, 10 condemn outright and un-
equivocally every effort that is made to
play upon human sensibilities by those
who secretly and quietly ruin lives and
undermine citizenship, and even worse
than that, undermine the ability of men
for practical religion" 1t is indeed
those unconscious evils which men do
that ultimately destroy them body and
soul. The love of gambling is one of
those vices that inevitably grows till the
awful end is reached, 1t may begin in a
very small way, and be of apparently
little influence, but the potency of little
things is far greater than many suppose,
and it is all the greater in that so few do
realize it until too late.

largely in connection with the reciproc-
ity policy Of the government to state ex-
plicitly that the President had no inten-
ton of placing any duty on hides. be-
cause he was not called upon to do so,
under the reciprocity" clause of the

THE free trade friends in Massachu-
setts of Roger @. Mills who have been
trying to persuade themselves and others
that Mr.. Mills was not in favor of the
free coinage of silver, and if elected
speaker of the House would so organize
the committee having in charge that
matter as to prevent any legislation in
its favor, have come near getting their
friend into trouble among the Southern
brethren by too loudly proclaiming him
the friend Of honest money. The Balti-
more Morning Herald on Nov. 12,
charged him with being opposed
to free coinage, which elected from
that gentleman very tart reply III
which he characterizes the statement as
false from beginning to end, and de-
mands its retraction. BY this it seems
that Mr.. Mills is of the opinion that he
has been in bad company. and that a
Massachusetts, Mugwump is not fit as
sociate for simon pure dyed in the
wool Democrat. This is the suggestive
as showing how much influence the
little handful of Eastern Democrats will
have in shaping the legislatizn of the
House. II must be remembered that
free coinage is part of the Democratic
doctrine, and must be swallowed whole
by all who profess that faith.

that the conception of unrestricted

that such conception is quite beyond
the mental grasp of any statesman any
where else in the world, save within the
small compass of the three British

knows, there would perhaps be less need
of creeds and creed revision.
