For several years past the Do
minican republic has been main
tanning in its tariff free list of
articles for the special encourage
ment of its agricultural industries.
By the terms of its recent recipro-
city arrangement with the United
States the free list was to be
abolished for all countries except
the United States when the reci-
proclty treaty went into effect. In
accordance with this agreement
the president of San Domingo,
under date of August s, has pub
lished a decree abolishing this free
list, and restoring all articles
named in it to the rate of duties
fixed in the general tariff, which
is ain average of 60 per cent. ad
valorem. By this action the reci-
procity treaty is greatly increased
in value for the United States.
The articles on this free list en-
braced among others all classes of
machinery, tools and Implements
for the development of agricul-
tural and industrial establish
ments, tallow and oil for machi
merry, guano and manures, zinc
and galvanized iron, cooperage,
sacks of sugar, railroad material
and equipment, barbed wire and
coal. In addition there was a list
of articles admitted at a duty of
10 per cent. ad valorem, which
has also been raised to the full
tariff rates, embracing wood and
lumber of all kinds, shingles, files
slate, and all other materials for
roofing; bricks, fiagstones, cement,
iron, steel and copper, in sheets
or bars, nails and Screws, tubing
OF iron, copper or lead, cordage,
wagons, carts, wheelbarrows,
boats and lighters.

ABOUT BRAZIL.

The Bureau of American Repub-
lies, has just issued Bulletin No. z,
entitled s'BraziI.u 1t is very
well gotten up volume of 1856
pages, well printed and illustrated.
Its contents embrace a historical
sketch of Brazil, with information
in compact form as to its area,
population and political divisions;
colonization and immigration;
forestry and mineral resources; ag-
ricultural products; railway and
steamship communication, finan-
ces, taxation and educa tional sys-
tenn; commercial advantages and
methods; reciprocity arrangements
with the United States; CONNER
cial statistics; the constitution of
the republic; a commercial direc-
tory, and the tariff duties of Bra
zil.
From the constitution we find
that Brazil is in advance of the
United States in that she provides
an educational limitation to citi-
zenship. That instrument requires
that persons ignorant of the alpha
bet shall vote at either federal OF
state elections. 1t also excludes
from voting all beggars, and all
members of communities of any
religious denominations who are
subject to vows of obedience, etc.,
which imply the surrender of in
dividual liberty. This prohibition
includes all soldiers on pay. The
Brazilians are determined that
none but free men shall vote, and
that they shall be moderately in
telligent at least.

ABOUT three years ago Miclli-
gan man disappeared, and soon az
forwards the body of man who
had been murdered was found and
identified as that of the missing
man. The family buried it. Some
time ago they received a letter
from an Indiana hospital for the
insane, saying that the missing
man had been admitted to that in
stltution. He soon recovered his
reason, and recently returned to
his people. His mind is a blank
regarding his life up to the time
he was taken to the hospital.

THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.


Ohio does materially change the
outlook for party prospects. There
is nothing certain SO far as the
outcome is concerned, but the
chances are decidedly in favor of
McKinley's election by a decisive
majority. If Ohio goes Demo
cratic this fall there will not be
much chance for a Republican
president in 1892. If McKinley's
majority is unusually small, this
will still be an indication of Re
publican weakness, and the Dem
ocrats will unquestionably have
very favorable prospects. Should
Mckinley get 10000 majority,
which is the regular Republican
vote, it will show that Ohio is still
true to party principles and party
creed, and that she is by no means
doubtful state in year of vital
issues. If McKinley's majority
reaches 10000, it will look like a
veritable landslide, and will lend
hope to and increase encourage
ment in party circles. We pre-
dict an unusual majority for Major
Mckinley.
New York. will probably go
Democratic this fall. The bulk
of the party, and the rank and file
of its leadership, are unit in fa-
vor of the state ticket. Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland's presence and ac-
tive interest in campaign move
ments, combined with the Hill
clique, are sufficient to harmonize
the Democratic factions, and Dem
ocratic harmony in New York al
ways means Democratic success.
The prohibition plank in the Iowa
Republican platform does not give
much promise for the success of
the party this year, but that state
will prove true in 1892. Massa-
chusetts figures largely this year
as important to national issues.
The state, being strongly manu-
featuring, wants free raw materi.
ais, and it has had democratic ten
dencies the past four years. Here
tofore, on National issues, Massa-
chusetts has been largely republi-
can. Should Russell, Democrat,
for governor, carry the state next
month, it may be put in the doubt.
full column for 1892, and the Dem
ocrats will have a fighting chance.
Ii Allen is elected by a decisive
majority, it will be safe to count
on that state as usual, for a big
Republican majority.
One thing is certain: The result
of the fall elections this year will
settle presidential possibilities, so
far as party creeds are concerned,
in 1892, and if the Democratic
party meets with reverses, it will
lose al! hope for future success.
If, on the contrary, the Republi-
can party does not gain material
ly from last years reverses, it will
be an evident indication of dec1d-
ed weakness. The Republicans
can lose considerable ground and
still be successful next year, while
the Democrats will have to come
out with extreme gains to have.a
fighting chance in the next presi-
dental election. Wait till the
votes come in.

D1CKRNs's PET DAUGHTER
The Great Novelist's Favorite Mamie "
to Write of Her Father.

Pretty mamie" Dickens was
already considered by those who knew
Charles Dickens best to be the ~novelist's
favorite daughter. To none of his
children, perhaps, was Dickens more
af~fectionately attached, and the "pet
daughter" saw much of her father
under all circumstances. When even
the dogs were chased out of the novel
lists study, Mamie Was allowed to stay.
The daughter is now a ~full-grOwn wo-
man, living quietly just outside of
London. For the first time since her
fathers death, Miss Dickens has been
persuaded to write of him whom she
knew so well. During 1892 there will
be published in The Ladies' Home jour-
mol, of Philadelp hia, a series of articles
by Miss Dickens under the attractive
title Of my Father as I Recall Him"
Fortunately for the thousands Who
will read what she writes in this series,
Miss Dickens has a retentive memory,
and she made copiOus notes during her
fathers lifetime. She will tell in this
series everything she remembers Of
her father; how he educated his chill,
dren; his family life and his personal
books; his love Of flowers and
animals; how Christmas was spent
in the Dickens household; how
the novelist romped with his chill
dren; the famous people who came
to the Dickens home, andhis last years
and closing days. No articles ever
published have in them so much promise
of telling the world things which it has
never known of Dickens, and Miss
Dickens's story of her fathers life will
be eagerly looked for in thousands of
homes where the name of Dickens is
like a household world.

RESOLUTIONS FROM WOODLAND

Mr.. EDIToR:-Whereas, the party
press of both political parties of our
country are slandering and misrepre-
senting our National President, L. l..
Polk, and other prominent members
of the Order; and whereas, we believe
these ~slanderous reports are intended
to disorganize and weaken the ALI
ance; therefore we, the members of
Woodland Alliance, No. $50, in meet
ing assembled this the 21st day of No
vember, 1891,
Resolve, That we have confidence in
our National President, L. L. Polk, and
we will endorse his official acts and de-
fend him to the end.
I'd, That we renew our fidelity to the
principles of the Alliance and will de-
fend them unto death; that we sub
scribe to and read the papers of our
Order az much as possible.

Mr.. EDITOR On the 18th instant the
Chamber of Commerce of New York
met at Delmonico's to hold their annual
love-feast. The Richmond Dispatch
says 1.-The affair was especially
notable" Yes, a big dinner was spread,
letters of regret read, and great
speeches said. Covers were laid for
232, or in other words champagne,
bourbon, and every delicacy to tempt
the appetite of an epicure, was bounti-
fully supplied for the above number.
What q pity that some corn-ield, really
hungry fellow could not have gotten to
that table and taken one good square
meal! None Of this crowd were ever
really hungry unless for the blood and
sweat of their toiling fellow-men-the
common herd" you know. They
never come home at night from their
daily toll, sore of body and weary of
limb, to eat the crust prepared by the
sweat of their own honest brows.

How to Get Your Tax Money.

The clerk of this county, Mr.. J. S.
Bizzell, has received the direct land
tax list from the Governor. a copy of
which we publish in this issue. To
get your money go to Mr.. Bizzell
and make written application for
the amount due you as shown by the
books. You will find blanks for this
application in his Office. IT you
have your receipt present it to him.
Ii you have lost the receipt then you
must get two witnesses to testify be-
fore him that they know you and
that you owned land in the named
township of value sufficient to be
assessed the amount Of the tax at the
rate OF 80 cents on every one hum
dred dollars. II the person who
paid the tax is dead then the execu-
tor OR administrator must make the
application. This application is sent
to the Governor and he will issue
you warrant upon the State Trea-
surer for the amount. To save trou-
BILE and expense arrangements will
probably be made to have these war
rants cashed st the bank i'm Clinton,

structions says:
1t is no part Of the duty OF the
Governor to decide or advise as to
the rigqts of the next kin, or of cred
itors or any other persons claiming
from the personal representative.
The usual rules of law govern all
such cases, and when the money is
once paid to the claimant the duty
of the Governor is performed.
The money will be paid on war
rants upon the State Treasurer. Ar
engagements will be made, if posi-.

collected through banks in all parts
of the State.
