WY ! An 4 PR0TECTIOHIST |
BY HON. WIN. W. BATES.

[Witten for Amey1aan Economist. I
I. Because instinct and reason teach
the right and duty of self-defence for in.
dividuals, families, society and the State.
?. Because Protection assures peace,
without which human life has no true
object, intellectual and moral improve
ment no prospect, aud the general good
no existence.
I. Because I believe in human free
dom, in the improvement Of man, and the
happiness of mankind. To this end
every one should direct his course, each
government intelligently guide its peo-
pie, securing to each employment, and
to all due reward for toll.
a. Because prefer my own country to
every other; and to develop its resources,
increase its wealth, augment its power and
improve its people, before any other,is the
bounden duty of loyal citizens.
S. Because without Protection all these
things are left to chance-tO doom and
disappoiutment-the poor to live in ig-
norance and vice, the weak to fall be-
fore the stroAg,and the good to serve the
bad. AS wisdom leaves nothing to
chance, so good government cares for
every useful pursuit, that it may rear its
pillars on solid ground.

THE career of Charles Stewart Par
nell came to an end on Tuesday about
midnight, when he succumbed to a fatal
fever, the result of a chill. The life of
this we'll known Irish Leader and Home
Rule advocate has been an eventful one,
and but for the disgrace he brought upon
himself about year ago, would to-day
be still at the head of his party in Ire
land. The news of his death cast a gloom
over Ireland and England, and threw the
principal towns of these countries in
great state of CONSERVATION.
He was a man that was loved by his
friends for his pluck and energy, and
feared by his enemies for the same rea-
son. When once he advocated princi-
pie he would leave no stone unturned
until it had been established. He lacked
some Of the peculiarities of the Irish tem-
perament. Though he loved fight, he
was never boisterous, and preferred to
win by strategy rather than blows. and
most always succeeded. His private life
was not what it should have been, but this
is now forgiven if not forgotten. His
public life was all that could be expected
or desired.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Oct. S, 1891.

The President does not have quite so many
callers, or rather, there are not so many
prominent men among his callers since the
announcement was semi officially made that
none Of the important appointments were
Iikeiv to be made until after the fall election.
Whatever the reason for this decision it is
universally considered to be good politics
on the part Of the President, besides It gives
him time to look after some other important
matters that are pressing,
There is a very marked difference in the
manner in which Republicans and Demo
Gratis here talk Of the outlook in New York.
The Democrats invariably start of with an
air, which they admit to be necessary to
RIower's success. On the contrary the Re-
pnblicaus grow more enthusiastic every day
and will not admit that there is even possi'
bility Of defeat for Fassett, and the reports
from rrivafe sources which reach here from
New York are constantly adding 70 the Re
publican couhdence.
The President has taken hand IN the
Chinese question and he has spoken with
lie same earnestness which characterize his
,nsfruefious 10 Minister Egan last week to
de,naud satisfaction from the Chiiiau junta

sentative Of the United States. Chinaman

The North American Review,

''Can we make it rain 2" is to-day one OF
the most important questions engaging the

tory, embracing portions Of ten States. which
are at present nothing but arid desert wasted
for want of raiu Irrigation has been sue
cessfully employed for many years in limis
ted portions of this region, and wherever this
has been done the result has been the pro-
duction Of enormous crops, and the wilder
ness has literally been made to blossom a
the rose. But irrigation is expensive, and
the supply Of water available for that pur-
pose is limited, so unless we can draw a
supply sufficient for the needs OF vegetation
from the clouds there is no hope for the re
demption of that region.
With even a moderate rainfall, It would
become one Of the most productive portions
of our country. Recently the Department
Of Agriculture at Washington has been con-
Quoting rain making experiments IN western
Texas, under the management of General
Robert G. Dyrenforth, which have been rel
markably successful and give promise or
wonderful results. In the October uumbes
of the North American Review General Dy-
renforth gives the practical details of his on
erations and the success attending them. IN
the same number Of the Review, Prof. Simoe
Newcomb, LII D., of Washington, gives the
scientific ground upon which the Agricul-
turai Department bases its expectations of
success. The article is one OF the most in
teresting and valuable that has ever been
published on the subject.

Common -Seuse in Surgery" is the title
Of a valuable article which Helen H. Car
dener will contribute to Harper's Magazine
for October. The paper is in no way tech,
nical, and what is said of some of the Won

interesting than the amusing examples
which are given of some instances in which
a notable lack Of fconamon-sense was appar-
