The Great What.is.it.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The McKinIy tariff is as much of
a puzzle to its worshipers as it is a
burden to the taxpayers. None of
them seem to understand the prin-
ciples which it is supposed to en-
body, or the effect 1t has had. 1t
is variously described as a meas
ure
To check exports.
To increase exports.
To lower prices.
To increase prices.
To protect US against a flood of
foreign goods.
To invite large,imports.
By removing the tariff on sugar
it lowered the price of sugar.
By doubling the duty on tin, it
Is to lower the price Of tin.
1t is commended to the support
of f~ree-traders because under it
hall our imports are free.
1t asks the support of protection
lists because it secures them against
competition in tie home market.
One day the friends of the meas
ure say the tariff is not a tax ; the
next they insist the tariff is a tax,
paid by the foreigner.
Farmers are asked to vote for
Mckinley because his bill creates
a greater home demand for wheat.
Farmers the next day are told
that the foreign demand for Amer.
lean wheat is due to the Mckinley
tariff.
GA cheap coat covers a cheap
man," says Mr.. Harrison ; SO vote
for Mckinley and dear clothes.
McKinley's tariff has cheapened
the cost to clothing, say the Re.
publican organs SO vote for it.
One organ points with pride to
the fact that during six months the
imports of cotton knit goods de-
clined 81 SOC, 917, Thereby keep
ing that sum at home to employ
American labor" Another boasts
because the total imports for elev-
en- months have increased $4,000.
1000.
All along the line this confusion
of ideas exists. The Mckinley tar
if Is praised for what it is and for
what it is not ; for what it does and
for what it does not. Altogether
ii seems to be fearfully and won
derfully made. 1--WE know you
are ugly" say these worehipers,
"but we feel that You are great"
Still, our faith in the American
people is strong enough to give US
the assurance that such a delusion
as this Tariff God can not much
longer possess tneir minds or dull
their consciences.

He Took the Guns.
E,o- tho A,vuaa-o por;a-

A good story, and it is a true one,
is told Of ]. A. Harrison. During
the late war all the guns were taken
from the homes of all southerners
" southern sympathizers. There
was. however, an old German living
near Mexico who was allowed to re-
tain his guns. The old fellow
seemed proud that he was thus
favored more than his neighbors,
and as he was known to favor the
Union, his neighbors did not feel
the best in the world about the mat
ter. Alb. Harrison, then in his
twenties, heard of the old man and
concluded to go over and take the
guns. One night he, alone, rode up
to the old Germans house and in
sonorous tones called out: "Halt!-
file to right and left-dismount.
Surround the house! Forward,
march,! Haiti" lie walked up
and raped on the door, and on be-
ing admitted, told the old man that
he had come Cor the guns. The old
gent, trembling with excitement.
gave him the guns. and Harrison
made his exit, and giving his orders
to his supposed soldiers, mounted
and rode away.

Like a Siberian Horror.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, March Romance
and cruelty are forbiddingly blended in
the drama that has just come to light in
q revelation made by Mrs. Noah b.
Long, nee Mary Martin, formerly of
this place, but FOR thirteen years resi-
dent, ostensibly as male miner of
Streator, Ill. 1t was while Noah b.
Long was miner here, thirteen years
ago, that he wooed and won Mary Mar
tin, and went through the form of a
mock marriage with her. When, after
they had gone to Illinois, Mary insisted
on sending back here for the marriage
certificate that was never issued. Long
she says beat her, and finally she learned,
just before their first child was born,
that she was no wife. Long abused her
terribly, and finally, to prevent her es-
cape, made her dress as man and
work as his helper in the mines. She
did so for years. Finally her brother
Walter, from this place, learned of her
condition and rescued her.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 18.--Apro-
pos of the continued bowling in Rome
and throughout the American and Eu-
ropean Italian settlements over the re-.
cent New Orleans lynching, this morn
lowing editorial: cat the time the New
Orleans regulators were killing the as
sassins who had escaped conviction by
bribery and by perjury. the men of the
fe.saving station at Sandy Hook were
at the point of their lives, rescuing the
crew of fifteen from the Italian bark
Umberto Primo, ashore on Romer
shoals. America is hospitable to all
men and creeds except to those who
teach assassination. Neither the life
savers nor the regulators asked the ma
tivity of the men, but they were moved
only by the finest instincts of human
nature, which knows nothing of nation
alities."

asked If there was a lady present who
would be his companion through ife,
and Miss Smith accepted him. Taking

INDIANAPOLIS, March l7.-As Dep
