Says the New York Times. THE
ubiquitous reporter turned up in a new
role last week. He was riding up town
in Sixth avenue surface car when a
boy was knocked down by the horses.
and, before the car could be stopped, his
foot was cut of Just above the ankle. A
crowd gathered and waited in absolute
helplessness fol. the arrival of the am
bulance. Then it was that the repor-
ter in question elbowed his way through
the crowd. Skillfully twisting his
handkerchief into oandage, he bound
it and knotted it Just above the wound.
Then he ran stick through the knot
and twisted it around with all his
might The bandage sank deep into
the boys skin, but il saved his life. for

ty and presence of mind. There Is no
moral attached to this tale, and there Ia
no reason why a reporter shouldn't be
just as dexserous and Merry as anybody
else. Only it happened that In this in
stance that the reporter was very much
more thoughtful than anybody else in q
crowd OF perhaps two hundred persons,
and 1t also happened that when he
had completed his work he slipped OF

/. The republicans are, perhaps, atpres
ent In little better position than the
democrats as regards the money cues.
ton 1t Is true that the senate. which
Is republican, is for free silver coinage.
but the democratic house is also jp
favor OF 1t, while President Harrison
has lptimated that he will veto q free
coinage measure if passed. The bal
ance is. therefore, a little in favor OF
the republicans, especially since the
blunder made by the Ohio democrats
In framing their platform, a blunder
that was, under the circumstances,
almost worse than a crime, for il en-
ables the republicans to appeal for votes
20 those who believe in honest money,
and will enable them to boast, If they
are victorious, that they won on the is
sue Of the Mckinley tariff. On the
other hand, il the democrats succeed, It
may be disastrous for them in the us-
tional contest, for the silver men will
maintain that free coinage has shown
itself TO be winning cry in Ohio, and
will insist upon its being made q ma

The Heroic Foreixners.


Old Peter Cooper was q sound bust
ness man and a true protectionist.
With him it was principle that mo
goods purchased abroad are cheaper
that take the place of our own labor
and our own raw material.-Leaven
worth Times. -
Peter spoke wisely, but the Times
fails to grasp the meaning. Under the
natural law of trade every dollars
worth OF goods bought abroad is paid
for by farm produce raised in this
country. Hence these goods do not
take the place of our labor. but, upon
the contrary, afford q market for the
product OF our labor. 1t is very silly
thing to expect any foreign nation TO
pay US cash for our farm products-in
other words to buy of US when we place
a penalty upon buying OF them.-Fort
Scott Tribune.
Awfully foolish. The heroic for
eigner will starve first. The reason
he buys OF US is not because he wants
our stuff but to get rid of his own. Now
that we have high tariff he won't take
our truck at any price. It's true that
crops are short over there and he must
buy from us or go hungry, but he will
look at our golden grain and then he
will remember our tariff and turn away
and turn up his toes and die. The
foreigner would always rather pay two
prices for free trade wheat than buy the
cheapest kind of wheat from protec-
tion country. But" argues some pro-
tectionist, i've have had high tariff for
MANY wears and the foreigner has gone
right on buying our stuff and very many
times the balance of trade has been
largely in our favor. in fact it is so just
now. and millions of dollars of GOLD are
coming over here to paw the differ
erce"
Oh, get out with your facts! Free
trade has nothing to DO with facts.-

An Aggressive Rssty.


II b Rss. - declared by ssesetaPy
Foster. that the republicsa party ID the
aggressive party Of this COUNTRY. The
glorv Of 10 record lies In the fact that
IL has brought things 10 paA. That ID
the one sign by which Il In distinguish
ed from other parties and exalted over
them. At the very outset of its re-
variable and benefcent career II g.
sailed the greatest wroag and shame of
the country; and Ii gained strength
and steadily achieved success by pur-
suing the same policy Of attack. The
days Of its greatest honor and useful
ness were the DAYS when Ii was most
energetic and determined in the pro-
motion Of positive and progressive in
terests. 1t has never won Q victory by
operating on the defensive. It's princi-
pies and tendencies are not adapted TO
that kind OF service. The men who
cherish its doctrines and defend its re-
putatiou and purposes are men OF in
telligence and enterprise, who take the
affirmative side OF things and like TO GO
forward. There is nothing negative in
the republican creed when you come to
consider it properly; 1t pertains entire
ly to matters Of active relation to the
public welfare and prosperity. That is
the principal reason why it has been so
triumphant, and any other explanation
will not answer the purpose.
The grim truth is worth remember
ing that the republican defeat of last
year was due wholly to the defensive at
tltude in which the party was placed.
1t may as well be acknowledged that
the democrats displayed superior gen.
eralship in the contest. They seized
the opportunity presented by the Nc
Kinley law. and made the best possible
use of it. They raised the cry that
prices OF Ill kinds were to be increased
and the republicans were forced to de,
fend a measure that had not yet been
tested, and could not really be judged
in advance of its practical operation.
We know now that there was no founda-
ton for the democratic predictions oil
higher prices and other evil conseQuen-
ces. The law has proved to be an ad.
vantageous one; the wisdom OF those
who framed 1t has been fully indicated.
There IL no necessity for the republi-
cans to defend or interpret it They

therefore have chance to a6tagonize
that heresy and to force the fighting on

In short the situstion Of last year il
completely reversed this year, and the
aggressive party is again In its appro-
pirate place. The result will be Sc
ries Of decisive republican victories in
the principal states that hold elections
in November, and that will signify an
other republican president in 1892. =

The New Evangelist Presented
With Food for Thought.


At Clay Center L L Polk, pres
ideut Of the national alliance, who de-
clares that he served in the confederate
army against his will, and who is now
trying to evangelize the one state
above all others that made it possible
for the confederacy to rise and fall. said
he is sorry for the children Of the Kan
sas farmer because they have to dig in
the field when they ought to be in
school. His solicitude for the unfortu-
nate child of Kansas Is almost parallel
in its tenderness. but his speech is most
remarkable on account of the audacity
and ignorance which it betrays.
When President Polk or any other
tar-heei comes to this first of northern
states and bemoans any situation what
soever, he invites comparison, and that
comparison will be made. Inherent
tally he would have the unfortunate
chilt OF Kansas lifted up to the admira-
ole condition of the child Of North Car
DINA. the state in which Mr.. Polk re-
sides and which. of course, has been
done for the child in Kansas, and then
what is the condition of the child in
North Carolina under the regime of
Polk and other Brigadiers who served
voluntarily or through impressment in
the confederate army. which was raised
and equipped to keep labor in debase-
ment.
