Who Is RESPONSIBLE

This morning in driving down Brown st.
into Cumberland came upon a deep hole in
the driveway carefully made by somebody
for purpose. 1t was about foot and a
half deep and two feet in diameter, directly
over Lowrey hydrant. 1t may easily
cost the city the price of horse, or the cost
Of broken arm, leg. or shoulder of some
body. A hole not tenth part as dangerous
at the corner of Middle and Exchange ST.,
some years ago, caused broken shoulder to

Protection is growing popular in the
South, says the Des Moines Register. In
the States where Industrial development
has made most progress the protective
tariff sentiment is very marked. A
meeting of protectonists was recently
held at Ashcyille, n c.. delegates to the
number of 500 were in attendance, rep
resenting every part OF the State except
the Democratic backwoods reg ons. 1t
is the intention of the leaders OF this
movement to organize protective tariff
leagues in every township Of the State.
The old South has been hopelessly we'd
ded to free trade, but under the domin-
ion of its bosses the chief products of
that region have been Shareholders
rebellion, mules wooden p,ows, moon
sinners, and repudlated debts The
dawn of the new err, let it be hol ed, has
come-the era Of progress, schoolhouses,
factories, and improved farms under the
beneficent reign of protection to the
products of labor and to labor itself
The business depression that followed
in the wake of the free-trade victory
last fall has aroused the South TO the
interest it has in protection, and may in
time cfle t political change.

ReciprocIty with San Domingo.

The Republic of san Domingo, which
occupies the eastern half of the large
West Indian Island Of which Hayti is
the western half, is the other party TO
our latest reciprocity treaty under the
Mckinley bills famous third section.
Great Brtain's exports to the island of
Hayti and San Domingo have been fall
ing off Of late years, having dropped
from 81, 221, $50 in 1887 to 81. 313, $50 in
1880, while her imports therefrom in
creased only from $233, 22O to $235, 615.
Our imports from San Domingo alone,
however, grew from S303,757 free of
duty and 81, $50, 504 dutiable in the fiscal
year 1889 to q total Of $l,951, 013 In 1890,
of which 81, 72O, 173 was dutiable. Our
exports OF merchandise TO San Domingo,
however, fell off from 81, $780, 10 in 1889
to $3.50, 217 in 1890, our coin and bullion
exports to the same Republic also drop

Cush on Car Wheel.

The latest invention to attract the
attention and approval of railroad men
is the cushion car wheel, which is said
to possess many advantages in the way
of simplicity, safety and economy, while
at the same time being almost noiseless.
The wheel is composed of two parts,
the center and the tire, while between
the two is n thick rubber band which
acts as cushion to absorb al the vibra-
lions. by peculiar construction, the
tire is mado so that it may be removed
without TAX 'ng the wheel from the axle.
The rubber is so interposed between tho
center and the tire as not to be liable to
injury from hot box o. from the cor
rosive action of the lubricants.
A test recently made with these
wheels showed that after service Of
over 90, 900 miles the rubber had not de-
Perforated, VIII lie the tire showed wear

The AIiianc in Ohio.

Small comfort the Democrats will get
from the Alliance nomination for Gov
ernor OF Ohio. John Seitz, OF Seneca,
who is the Alliance standard bearer, was
u lifelong Democrat up to 1877, and
served two terms In the State Senate as
Democrat. lie was the author OF tho
famous Seitz bill, prohibiting the use of
money in electio 5. Though he fell
away from the party in 1877, he returned
to support Ewing for Governor in 1879.
Two years later he was the Greenback
Labor candidate for Governor All his
friends in political life are Demo rats.
Whatevcr votes he polls pers )nally will
be drawn from the Democratic party.
The Demo racy has been encouraging
tho Farmers A lance to put up u seIa-
ate ticket in Chic, and it has even been
charged that it has been willing to foot
all the expenses of the third party cam
pagn. A Democratic candidate for Con-
gress IN a Republican district in Nebras-
ka set up such plot last fall, paying
the expenses of an Alliance man to run
for Congress in a triangular fight and
carry off enough Republican votes to let
him be elected. The Alliance man was
himself olcctct, TO the no small amaze
ment of the Democrat who had paid tho
Alliance mans bills. The Alliance will
not win in Ohio, but it looks as though
the Democrats in encouraging the third
party movement had given solid aid to
Major Mckinley and would insure for
themselves as complete discontinue as
came upon this Nebraskan.

Build UP tho Home Markets..

The farm statistics emphasize the ne
cessity for building up the manufacture
ing interests of the United States and
thus developing a home market for all
products that will be equal to the boun-
tiful productiveness of the soil Within
the last thirty years the acreage devoted
to corn in the United States has in
creased from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900,
and the amount produced from 500, 000,-
600 to :, 200, OG0, 900 bushels, while wheat
in the same period has expanded its area
from II, 900, 900 10 3s,000,00o of acres,
and the amount produced from 100, 900,
600 to 500, 600, 900 bushels. Those fig
ures give all the necessary proof that
the farmers of the nation should be
unanimously in favor Of protective
tariff that will build up the homo mar
kets OF every community in the country
and thus secure mutual benefits for all
classes Of the people. Protection is the
only safety for the farmers, laborerS and
manufacturers, and without they prosper
all other business must languish.

little wretch made. He was whipped
