of intentional Misrepresentation The
thing may win in a single instance, but
it will not succeed in the long run, and
it is the long run that counts with
pal ties, as with nations. There is a de-
gree of public integrity that serves as
standing protest against dishonest
practices, and it grows stronger every
day. Men are not as willing as they
once were to excuse improper actions
simply because they are calculated to
defeat the plans of an enterpiising adj
versary. TIE feet hat such proceed
ing is favorable to the voters own party
does not commend it to his approval.
He does not care to have his side win
in that way; he does rot wish to see
the candidate on the other side beaten
by personal abuse. 1t is matter of
manliness and of +, spect for the true
spirit and purpose of our form of gov
eminent. This development of popular
opinion in favor of clean and becoming
political methods is attributable, un-
quesiionably, to the general growth of
intelligence and culture. The national
chara cter is constantly becoming more
critical and exacting in all Kings. We
have considerably elevated TIE standard
of public rectitude in our time, and the
operations of politics have to be adj
iusted to the situation. The old policy
of personal warfare is not in harmony
with present conditions and influences.
That is to say, a majority of the people
are opposed 10 it and hence it is heing
abandoned. The kind of talking that
is now demanded belongs TO The exist
ing mode Of thought and feeling. We
are living in a period of prcvailing re-
gard for the practical and useful, ard
our speakers are expo cted to order their
discourses accordingly. The orator who
only knows how TO deride and traduce
somebody is not the one who is want ed {;
his time has gone by, and he must give
place to a successor who can discuss
propositions of vital interest in capa-
BILE and effective way. When bad men
are nominated for office it is right, of
course, to point out their defects; as a
rule bad men are not nominated for Of
fee, and so there is no reason to say
harsh and mean things about them.
This view reflects the present state of
public taste in the case, and the coun-
try has reas on to be thankful that such
salutary change has taken place.

"Mckinley Prices"

The bureau of statistics of the United
States treasury depal tment has been in
vestigating what our democratic friends
some months ago called "McKinley
prices" The results are publishe d,
and they show that the only general in
crease has been in farm products, while
manufactures have, if anything, de-
clined. The farmer has been benefited
more by change in prices in the last
twelve months than any other American
producer. The demand for his abun-
dant crops from abroad has worked to
bis fortune, while the increased compe-
tition of manufactures under the stimu-
lus of the tariff has given downward
tendency to the prices of those articles
which he must buy from shop and fac
tory. Increased employment has been
given to workingmen in new lines of
manufacture and wherein is it that
the country is not better off all around?
The researches of the bureau of statis-
tics show, for example, that cotton
cloth which year ago sold for nine
and one-hi 1t cents per yard can now
be bought for eight and seveneighths;
printed cottons now selling for six cents,
sold last year for six and ope-half; iron
nails, 81 So per 100 pounds in 1890, 81 so
in 1891; steel nails, so o. in 1890, 81 So
in 1891; binders twine, twelve and
three-fourths cents per pound in 1890,
eight and one-sixteenth in 1891. On the
other hand, the monthly average ex-
port price of domestic commodities for
the seven months ending July 81 of
this year, compared with same period
last year, show the following: corn,
forty-two cents in 1890, sixty-six in
1891 wheat, eighty-five cents in 1890,
ninety.six in 1891; bacon, seven and
one-fifth cents in 1890, seven and three
fourths in 1891. This showing for the
remaining five months of 1891 will be
even correspondingly better than for
the same period last year. Have you
noticed the free-trade papers are not
making so much noise about enc
Kinley prices as they were some time
ago? PittSburg Commercial Gazette.

Improved Political Methods.

The average reader cannot have
failed to observe the notable lack of
personalities in this years political cam
paign. There has been an abundance
of vigorous and impressive speaking,
but no serious violation of the rules of
parliamentary dignity and propriety.
The records and qualifications of the
candidates have been discussed in plain
terms, and yet not Extensively. BY
common consent, the weapons of scan
dial and SANDER have not been employed.
There was one deviation from this
theory in Ohio, but it was so quickly
and decisively condemned that it did
not materially disturb the general con-
dition of just and fair dealing. The
people have insisted upon candid con.
sideration of pending issues, with
view to reaching logical and practical
conclusions. 1t has been poor year
for the demagogues and the purveyors
of sophistry and falsehood. The claims
of both of the great parties have been
so presented as to promote an intelli-
gent understanding of the differences
between them. In every state the larg-
est crowds have greeted the speakers
best posted upon important questions,
rather than those given mainly to pro-
cesses of accusation and invective; and
it must be admitted that the spectacle is
pleasant and creditable one. There
has been an obvious tendency for sew
eral years past in the direction of inn
proved methods of conducting political
canvasses. We have a different kind
of stump oratory from that which for
merly prevailed, and parties rely good
deal more than they used to upon APP
peals to reason instead of passion and
prejudice. 1t is no longer the fashion
to invent wild stories of national peril
where there is only a peaceful and
healthy friction of opinion and interest.
The theory that the end justifies the
means in politics has ceased to be a
part of our philosophy. 1t is not prof
liable any more to resort to schemes

The Gillian Affair.

Mr.. Egau, United States minister at
Valparaiso, promptly demanded repara-
ton from the government of Chilli for
the attack recently made in Valparaiso
upon a number of seamen from the
United States steamer Baltimore"
The results of the investigation by
Captain Schley of the Baltimore "
and by Mr.. Egan show that one of
the Baltimore's petty officers was
dragged from street car in Valparaiso
and shot, while another, who died from
the results of his injuries, received
eighteen wounds in the back. Thirty
five of the Baltimore's crew were
arrested on the day of the riot and de-
tanned in Gus tody without due cause.
Some of the sailors were dragged to
prison at horses tails, exposed to in
suit and abuse, and finally when re-
leased they were again assailed. The
surgeons of the Baltimore " expressed
the opinion that wounds inflicted upon
the sailors were bayonet wounds, show
ing that the police who are armed with
these weapons, took part in the attack.
The Americans were unarmed and
practically defenseless. Commander
Schley had for weeks kept his men on
board the vessel, refusing them per-
mission to go ashore on account of the
bad feeling towards men in the Ameri.
can uniform, but had been assured by
the chief magistrate of Valparaiso thai
the feeling had subsidized and no trouble
would result from the presence oil
American seamen in the city.
In answer to President Harrison's
demand for reparation, the Chiliar
junta said in substance that the de.
mands of the government of the United
States were not acceptable and could
not be accepted; that the CHILEAN gov
eminent is investigating the affair, ant

government, will have to radically
modify. The United States is taking
what steps are necessary to sustain her
honor and enforce respect for her flag.
She will make no demand upon Chill
she would not make upon the most
powerful nation on the globe, but
she will enforce her demands, at
the right time, with such firmness and
preparation as will leave Chill no
choice but to grant fully and promptly
the reparation required, or submit to
punishment. Chill is now under a
provisional government. An election
has been held and in due time a per-
manent government will be installed.
This government will find it both
necessary and expedient to give the
United States the satisfaction it re-
quires. 1t is not probable that a
country just released from the throes
of revolution, with power at the
north watching for an opportunity to
avenge defeat and loss of territory, will
invite fresh disaster by stubbornly re-
fusing the just and reasonable demands
the government at Washington will
make. Unless madness rules the hour
at the Chilian capital, this incident will
have a peaceful ending.

The Saloon Issue i'm Iowa.

Governor Boies would repeal the
prohibitory law, because it is not en-
forced. When the fugitive slave law,
that pet measure of the democratic
party during Mr.. Boies' early connec-
ton with that organization, failed of
enforcement, did the party favor its re-
peal, or some local option substitute ?
Not by any manner of means. On the
contrary, democratic congress passed
an act of unparalleled rigor, making it
a crime to give a hunted fugitive a
morsal to eat; offered bride to the
commissioner before whom an alleged
fugitive was brought by giving twice as
large fee for sending him into slavery
as for giving him his freedom, and
denied him even the writ of habeas
corpus. Yes, that was the way the
democrats acted in the case of an un-
enforced law. The governor doubt
less knows how it was himself, for he
in oil probability supported the barbar-
GUS enactment, as he did the repeal of
the Missouri compromise, that benefi-
cent measure that had so long kept
human slavery out of most of the
Territories. "-IoCa State Register.

The Tilden Will.

The contest over the Tilden will
ended last week in the decision of the
court of appeals setting aside as invalid
the clause providing for library and
free reading room in New York city.
The residuary estate which would have
been devoted to this object, had the
will been sustained, amounts to about
So 100000. The ground of the decision
of the court is, in word, that trust
without a certain beneficiary who can
claim its enforcement is void. The
suit was instituted by the two sons of
Henry A. Tilden, brother of Governor
Tilden. The children of this brother,
six in number, and Mrs. Laura B. Hsz-
ard 0he daughter of Mrs. PeltoD, Gov
ernor Tilden's sister,) are the heirs of
the es tate. The former will have
100000 to be divided among them,
and the latter would be the sole pos
SCISSOR of $3,000,000 more, but for an
agreement with the executors of the
will-made at an early stage of the con-
test-that, whatever The decision of the
court, she would devote $4,000 of
her share to carrying out the purpose of
her uncle. So Mr.. Tilden's cher
ished project will not be entirely de-
feated. Two million dollars is a mu-
nificent sum-as munificent as one-tenth
of that amount would be for a country
town. This agreement with Mrs. Haz-
ard was not publicly known, and comes
as soothing lotion to the hearts in
New York bruised by the stern require
ments of law. 1t is also worthy of note
in this connection that the cost of the
long contest, carried on in three courts,
is to be paid out of the estate. The le-
gal expenses would have absorbed an
ordinary estate of few hundred thou
sand dollars, leaving nothing for the
successful litigant. Only princely for
tunes can stand the stress of will con-
test in New York. Mrs. Hazard sets
mankind an example worthy of imita-
ton. She was not among the confess
tants of the will. There was no doubt
or question as to Mr.. Tilden's purpose
as expressed in this will. That purpose
was highly philanthropic. His bequest
wronged no one, violated no claim of
kindred upon bis remembrance. So at
an early stage of the proceedings she
took such action as would, so far as
could be expected of her, insure the
carrying out of Mr.. Tilden's benefcent
designs. She has earned the right to
have her name coupled with the library
that will, indirectly, owe its institution
to her generous sense of right and JUS

THE NeW York Times London correspond
ent says: Winter began in Russia on
Thursday with the first sharp frost. Living
men cannot remember any other year in
which this simple announcement meant
what it does now. There are literally mil
lions of human beings, at the furthest,
within six days journey of London, to
whom this frost comes as a sentence of
death by starvation. Although the censors
have forbidden the Russian papers to dis
cuss the famine, the NoUoSti ventures the
declaration that 20,000,000 creatures are
already without food, and that a sum four
times greater than the recent loan eX-
tracted from France is needed to keep them
alive. Needless to say, no such sum is
forthcoming. Indeed, in the matter of in
telligent relief, nothing is forthcoming.
Russian exiles here in London are greatly
excited by the news they have been getting
in the recent few weeks from subterranean
sources inside the empire and from their
associates in Switzerland and other CONT
mental places of refuge. They decline to
divulge this information, and the few things
which have been told to me may not be
printed, but it can at least be said that they
expect little less than civil war spreading
over vast tracts and whole regions of their
native land. They say the condition of
seven eighths of rural Russia is now in
fnitely worse than that of rustic France on
the eve of the revolution"

THE vote of the French senate placing
the duty on American pork at twenty-five
francs per 200 pounds removes the prohibi-
ton in principle, even il it does not in fact.
Had the senate voted a duty Of twenty
francs, a decree providing for the removal
of the prohibition would have been issued
forthwith. 1t is now impossible TO fix
date when this decree will be issued. The
general belief is that the chamber of depu-
ties will accept the duty fixed by the senate
without any further discussion. During
the senate debate there was continual refer
ence to the Mckinley tariff law and the
American copyright law. 1t should be
noted that the fact that Germany and Italy
had fixed the duty on American pork at
eddy also influenced the French senate in
coming to the decision to place the duty at
the same figures
