Maj. Mckinley in a recent speech
stated the tariff situation in four
lines as we'll as it could be done in
four columns. He said /: ''Nothln9
/ can say of the new tariff can help
it. Nothing that its enemies say
can hinder it. Its operations alone
can do it hurt"
The New York Recorder kas com /
pleted its fund for a statue to Gen.
William T. Sherman. 1t began to
solicit subscriptions for this fund, in |
its first issue and now, at the end of |
five weeks when the books are closed,
it announces that the sum of $780, |
370.55 has been raised.
Present indications are that the |
Parnell ENJOYS will not collect enough !
money in America to pay their indi-
vidual expenses. This is not because
American sympathy for Ireland is
waning, but because Americans re-
fuse to endorse the dishonorable pri-
vate acts of Mr.. Parnell.
There is no discount on the Ameri-
canism of Bishop Keane. He says
this country is not only the grandest
organization of popular institutions,
but 1t is also the best embodiment of
human fraternity and of Christian
civilization which the world has yet
seen. And the bishop is not can
didate for office.
The Maine Legislature does not
seem to be letting down the bars in
relation to the prohibitory laws of
that State. The Senate has just pas
sed the liquor bill as amended. 1t is
now so changed as to practically re-
main the same as the present law,
with the punishment increased for
each offence to 500 fine with sixty
days Imprisonment.
The president has fully decided to
appoint the new judges of the United
States circuit court during the con-
gressioDal recess, and / am informed
that he is now carefully considering
the merits of the gentlemen whose
names have been presented to him to |
fill those positions. Nothing has been
decided upon as to Mr.. Harrison's |
trip to the Pacific coast. He will go |
if he possibly can, but there is doubt
as to his being able to leave here.
In Stockholm, Sweden, women car
ry mortar and bricks up to the ma
sons, and they are paid about 80 |
cents per day for this kind of work.
Hod carriers in England, average
daily wages, 83.cents. United States
average daily wages, S2.44. When
women do this work in the United
States for the same price as in Swe-
den we shall be able to build just as
cheaply as they do in Sweden. How
happy this will make free traders.
Aside from party considerations
the election of FELTON,, republican,
United States senator from Califor-
MIA, is a lucky strike from the fact
he will succeed q free silverite and
counterbalance Senator Stanford in
the same direction. Senator elect
FELTON, is sound in his financial views
which fact was used against him in
his election with all possible force,
but without success. The presump-
ton is that the free silver craze is
convalescent.
If claims will win the speakership
fight for Mills will have walk over,
but most people have an idea that it
is votes and not wild claims that will
settle the business. Mr.. Mills has
corner on ''claims'"but how he is fix
ed with votes remains to be seen. AS |
Mills would make about as unfit
speaker as it would be possible to Sc
lect we trust that the democrats will
elect him. His occupancy of the
speakers chair would make thous-
ands of republican voters.
In commenting upon the decision
of Vermont's Board of Agriculture
to devote the balance of the appro-
priation to its credit to continuance
of the work of advertising the States
agricultural and manufacturing re-
sources, the Springfield, Mass, Union
pertinently says: "The result of
past work in this line has been very
