PARNELL's SUCCESSOR.

John T., Redmond has been chosen as
the new leader of the Parnellite forces.
IF division in the ranks were necessary
such man as Mr. Redmond is noted to
be would certainly be the proper man
to fill the position, but if the breach is
to be healed and it must be before the
present constitutional movement can be
carried forward to success, then an
error has been made that will prove Of
untold injury to the cause. Whether it
be with the followers Of Parnell's suc-
eessor or Mr.. MCCARTHY it matters not,
men of Redmond's stamp are unfit for
positions where excellent judgment is
TO be used--where cool, calm and con-
siderate nature is needed to guide the
destinies of people in movement
such as now exists in Ireland for the
amelioration of that distracted country's
condition. This is no time for radical.
ism--no time for animosities or bitter
inyectives. All the unfortunate circum-
stances of the past year or more should
be overlooked by Irishmen not only in
Ireland but in every land where an Irish
man exists and the future only consid-
cred. All: differences should be adjust
ed and perfect unity the watchword.
That man is the true patriot the truest
and best lover of the 'told land"-who,
under the circumstances that nov exist,
can yet concede that he may have erred
and thus join once more with his fellow
man on the other hand who feels as he
does that nothing is to be gained By con-
tinued division. Give us men OF broad
minds for leaders-men who are not
rash or nasty, but deliberate, conscien-
tious, truthful and loyal to every interest
of their country-then we may rest as
sured that under such leadership the
dawning Of better and brighter day
will soon be.brought about and peace
and harmony exist once more within the
ranks Of our now divided country men.

Still, even from selfish point OF view.

world looks back brighter at me, be-

Australia. Warder Carroll, Of Ballarat,
who served in the Carabineers. in which
Sir Roger Tichborne was an officer, and
who was an important witness in the

DECLINE IN FARM VALUES.


says the Louisville Courier Journal, are
confronted with report from the Decen-
NAL State Board Of Equalization that is
evidently playing mischief with them in
the agricultural districts.
According to this report, just made,
the value of farm lands in the State of
Ohio has decreased in the past ten years
from 1854, S26.516 to $576,183, 975, or 6
loss of sos, 100000.
At the same time, the value of prop
erty in the cities, towns and villages ct
the State, as shown by the same report,
has increased from $4l2, 683, 314 in 1880
to 1861, 849, 587 IN 1890, or a gain Of
1856, 900, 900.
The natural tendency of modern civil
ization is to build up the cities and
towns at the expense Of the rural dis
tricts. This tendency, which is matter
of serious regret, is increased by the
American tariff. The tariff is tax, inn
posed in the main upon agricultural
communities for the benefit in the main,
of the cities, towns and villages.
There is no mistake as to this tendency
and it's effect. It is told not simply by
he census returns and tins report OF 5he
Ohio Board of Equalization, but by
every census report and every official
document relating to the subject that
has been issued in the past TWENTY years,
Rapidly power 1s passing from our rural
population to our urban population. 1t
is passing from the population thorough
" American to that portion of the popu-
lation that is largely foreign. The tariff
is taking the control of American affairs
from the Americans of the old stock and
giving 1t to those who are not Americans
or those who are newly-made Americans.
Mr.. Blaine and all OF his fellow lingo
statesmen point to the policy as the
american" policy, and insist chat free
trade means the subsection of American
interests to foreign control. Every re-
port contrad1cts this. Every year shows
more clearly than the year before that
the effect of the tariff is pernicious in all
of it's ramifcations. It is injurious TO
our political institutions. It is harmful
to our social condition. it is burden
upon those who can least afford to bear
it, and blessing to those who need
blessings least.
The evidence to sustain these facts is
cumulative. That such would be the
case was prophesled in advance. That
such was the tendency, Mr.. Sherman
himself testified twenty years ago upon
the floor of the Senate. That this tend.
ency has increased year by year every
public document of any value declares
The time has come to change this
tendency, to weaken, as far as possible,
the WORSE effect of the aggregation of
wealth, to lift the burden from the poor,
to open to them every avenue of profit
and success. and give them the faireet
trade consistent with the revenue de-
mands of an economical government.

A MISSING sLOOP.
An Anscortes Man Left Here without
His Craft.

HIS Craft
Charles Anderson, of Anacortes. COM
planned to the police last night that his
partner. Jack Weyman, had taken the
sloop in which they had come over from
Anacortes, and left for parts unknown.
Anderson said the sloop belonged to
him, but he is not much of q sailor, being
proprietor of lunch counter at Anacortes,
and brought Weyman along because he is
an old sailor and has been INDUCING
in an occasional free lunch
at Anderson's place of business.
Last night about dark, Weyman left An
derson down town, saying that he was
going to see friend and would be back in
short time, and requested Anderson to
wait for him. Anderson waited until II
o'clock, when he became suspicious and
went to where the sloop had been tied at
the old Oregon Improvement Company's
dock, but found that it had been taken
away. He thinks Wevman took the craft
to Tacoma with the intention of disposing
of it, the sloop and property aboard being
worth about $150. Anderson had no money
left, having spent about all he brought
with him, and could therefore do nothing
toward following the fellow until he gets
back to Anacortes.
He says the sloop is made from an old
ships boat, is about twenty-four feet long,
with an eight-foot cabin, and is painted
white above the water and brown below
the water line There was a shotgun
aboard. He offers SIS reward for the re-
turn of the property.
