Hon. Roger O. Mills has begun his tour of
speech-making In Massachusetts by preach
ing the free trade doctrine with boldness
that no native Democratic lorator dares
emulate. There is generally little of guile or
deceit in speech by MIR. Mills. He is often
Incorporate in his utterances, but he gen.
orally speaks what he means. In the open
ing sentences of his speech at Melrose, how
ever, he said something which he could not
have believed in:
Situated as you are, you are shut up to manu-.
prosperity, and the policy Of the Country Should
be such as you can control it, to emancipate it
from al shaekles; and to place that industry freed
from CneSe snackles, In such situation as will
advance and build up the prosperity Of your own
section.
Here was recommendation that Massa-
chusetts should turn to the Democratic
theory to increase her manufacturing inter-
ests. Putting aside the palpable objection
that 1t would be poor policy for state that
fiourishing In her manufactures to set
aside the system uuder which she has at
tained her prosperity and is increasing it, IN
favor Of an untried system, 1t is interesting
to note how the interests Of Massachusetts
were looked after when Mr.. Mills had the
framing of tariff policy. Who were the men
put with Mr.. Mills on the ways and means
committee to control its deliberations and
''emancipate" the industries of Massachu-
setts? They were Roger @. Mills of Cor
sicana, Texas, Benton McMillin of Tennes
see, G. r. Breckenridge of Arkansas, w. c.
L. Breckenridge Of Kentucky. Turner, Of
Georgia, Wilson, of West Virginia, and the
late William L. Scott, of Pennsylvania.
These were the majority of the ways and
means committee which moulded sall legisla-
tion In respect to the tariff. Not one of them
was from Massachusetts, not one from New
England. Only one was from northern
and manufacturing state. The majority
were from plantation states. men who had
about as much conception of the needs of
Massachusetts, industries as a New England
mechanic would of growing cotton. Mr..
Mills cannot be quite in earnest when he ad
Vises Massachusetts to commit the "emanci-
patton" Of her industries to such men.

The extent to which checks and drafts
have taken the place of currency in the ma
chinery of exchange Is often not appreciated
except by those who are directly In banking
or other business where such instruments of
exchange are used to large extent. A for
chile illustration Of the fact has been afforded
by the recent railroad accident on the Balt-
more & Ohio railroad in Indiana. The mail
and express packages were full Of checks,
drafts, ETC., for the financial institutions of
Cincinnati. The result Is described by the
Cincinnati papers as most embarrassing,
Nearly every financial institution in the city,
and the major portion of the brokerage firms
had papers of one sort and another on the
train, and all were destroyed. 1t is not
thought there will be any actual money loss
because of the catastrophe, but 1t will be
long time before checks and drafts can be
issued In duplicate. and so placed once more
to their proper accounts among the hundreds
OF banks and individuals involved. Then,
too, there will be the interest loss on moneys
concerned in the transfer that will have to
be borne by the owners Of the paper. 1t has
been estimated that fully half million of
dollars will be tied up for varying lengths
of time. The interest on this amount is
no inconsiderable item as business runs. OF
the half million dollars thus tied up not a
cent was in actual cash. The transporta-
tion companies were carrying merely state
ments Of the whereabouts of money.

Hon. j. b. O'Neil, of Massachusetts, has
made an amusing reply to Mr. Reeds critl-
cism of those Eastern Democrats who failed
to raise their voices against the free COIN
age of silver In the last Congress. Mr..
O'Neil says the Democrats were gagged"
by the rules OF the last House. and leaves it
to be inferred by his hearers that this ex-
plains tie silence of himself and his asso-
ciates. 1t is not quite clear whether Mr..
O'Neil meant this for humor, or expected
his hearers to believe it. II any Democrat
hereabouts is disposed to take 1t seriously we
should like to have him come into the PRESS
Office and inspect the bound volumes of the
stenographic report of the last Congress.
There are sixteen of them,-more volumes
than have been required for the talk
of any other Congress since the foundation
OF the government. And Of speeches against
free silver and for free silver there are hun
dreds of pages, by scores of orators. The
Eastern Democrats must have been feeble
set If they could not get an oar into this
ocean of talk. The truth is they did not
want to.

The Australian ballot law Of New York
was improved last winter in one important
respect. Originally the law required the
ballot clerk to place his initials upon the
ballot when he delivered it to the voter.
This was found in practice to afford con.
yenient means of finding out what ticket the
voter threw. The last legislature elimin-
ated this feature, and now the initials of the
clerk are not placed upon the ballot The
voting now is really secret, and there is no
chance Of discovering how an elector has
voted. The Albany Journal believes this
will enure greatly to the advantage Of Mr..
Fassett, inasmuch as the Democrats who
are tired Of Hillism and Tammanyism will
be free to vote for the Republican candi
date without incurriDg the danger Of being
bounded by their party friends for so doing

Nine young students. who compose the
University baseball nine, used the Hor-
ribies-the type-sticking aggregation-as
busting rag at Ballard yesterday, and
rolled up score that would make some Of
the League teams green with envy. After
eight innings had been played the
students had 10 runs to their
credit and the printers had but 3.
The school boys had the best of it all the
way through. showing the good effects of
practice, while the printers played loosely,
making about - many errors as their OPP

were the battery work of Andrews and

Pierce's Pellets often cure sick head

laxative, take one each night on re-
firing. For adults, four act as an
active, yet painless, cathartic. Cause
