A Republican Congressman on the Nc
Kinley Bill.

Ex-Congressman Ben. Butterworth, of
Ohio, before leaving Washington, was inter-
viewed by World reporter. to whom he said
that the Republican party stood pledged to a
reduction of the tariff rates all along the line,
and while majority of the Republican men,
beIs were opposed to an advance of duties
they had to take the Mckinley bill rs it was
reported by the committee ON ways and
means, and thus the one essential thing that
the people demanded-a reduction of duties
was not obtained.
Mr.. Butterworth was asked what be thought
would be the ultimate outcome of the Nc
Kinley law. He made this significant re-
Spouse:
q "My judgment is that the pendulum will
continue to swing against the Republican
party until it fedeems its pledge or solemnly
declares its purpose to revise the tariff along
the line of reduction of duties, and if the
Senate hesitates about responding to that de-
mand that body will speedily become Demo
cratic. The pendulum may swing too far and
the protection to which our Industries are
fairly entitled may be Withdrawn altogether,
followed by a general wrecking of business
enterprises and after that the pendulum will
swing again too far in the opposite direction.
The CHATTER about those opposing prohibit
DRY tariff being free traders is aslnlne NO
Republican ever heard of such extreme tariff
rates as essential to our industries until with
in few years"
Mr.. Butterworth spoke strongly in favor of
reciprocity with foreign nations and predict
ed that the time will come when foreign
trade will be free except for purpose of re-
venue.

The Archer Bond Cases.

The evidence for the State in the Archer
bond cases was concluded last Friday morning
The defense offered to prove that the name
of Murray Vandiver, one of the bondsmen,
had been inserted in the affidavit after JUS
tice Proctor had signed it, and that the sums
total sworn to by the bondsmen who had
signed the paper at first had been raised from
$155, 900 to $2O5,0OO. This evidence was rul-
ed out by the Court, after discussion occu.
plying all of the day.
On Monday, after proving that the bonds
men supposed the bond had been filed within
the time required by law, the defense closed.
Tuesday was occupied in arguing prayers
and the case was given to jury in the after
noon. The State claimed as due on this bond,
$12, S57.55, of which the defendants conceded
they were liable for $7,510.05.
The jury gave verdict for the full amount
claimed by the State.
The suit against the third bond was con-
tinued until May.

st. Patrick.

st. Patrick's day, Tuesday last, was as fair
and bright as the record of the good saint
whose birthday it commemorated. His early
history is obscure. One account says he was
born in France, another that he came over to
Ireland from Scotland. All historians agree,
however, that he was slave, a shepherd and
swine-keeper in his early youth. He was
great scholar and must have been remark
able preacher and man of the highest ply
steal as well as moral bravery. A man of
different character could not have attained
such an influence over the savage chiefs and
their followers. He raised the standard of
the Cross and boldly attacked the supersti-
ton, ignorance and cruelty of the natives.
Their idolatrous worship gave place to a
worship of the true God, churches and mon
asteries were built and the entire Island
brought under the influence of the Christian
religion. st Patrick also established Chris
tianity on the Island of Man and labored,
also, in Scotland.
Besides his fame as religious teacher he
is credited with having driven the snakes
out of Ireland, sending them crawling and
wriggling into the ocean. Whether the ira
dition be true or not, 1t is certain that there
are no snakes in the Emerald Isle. An Irish
poet makes the following explanation in con-
nection with this incident:
You've heard. suppose, long ago,
How the snakes In manner most antic
He marched to the county Mayo.
And trundled them into tn Atlantic. @
Hence not to use water for drink
The people of Ireland determine
With mighty good reason, think.
Since st. Patrick has filled 1t with vermn
And vipers, and other such stuff
This is scarcely in accordance with the
character of the saint, who lie represented to
have been very strict promoter of temper
ance ifnot exactly teetotaller.
Wherever Irishmen have found home or
an abiding place the name and fame of the
good ST. Patrick are celebrated on the 18th
ofMarch.
The Republicans of California, who are
strong protectionists, are at last getting their

cloth, of which California farmers use more
than their brethren in other parts of the
country. The campaign of education is not
yet finished.

AS fathers loved thee in the age that is past.

That has long kept their memory warm;
First flower of their wilderness Star of their night!
Calm rising thro' change and thro' storm.
To thy succor our fathers went marching away
From the home of their infantile years,
When their fathers had warned and their mothers
had prayed,
And their sisters had blessed. thro' their tears.
Oh, how they did love thee, thou beauteOuS flag;
They poured out their life blood for thee,
That DER our glad country still proudly thoudst
wave,
The flag of the brave and the free.
We can never forget what they suffered for thee,
Thou herald of Liberty'S birth!
Thy stars shine more brightly, thy folds are more
dear
Than of any other banner on earth.
The good and the great in their youth and their
Have under thy folds gladly trod;
And the poet inspired by thy glorious sheen,
Sings praises to LibertyS God.
Dear flag! Be thy destiny onward and bright!
To thy children the lesson still give
OF love to our country, and love for its flag,
The flag that forever shall live.
Let no traitor e'er turn his fire on thy folds,
Let not treason its arts bring to bear;
But Union and Liberty, now evermore,
