Still AWAY of.

The 2S-cent grumbliDg crank OF
the town Republican organ il
still away off in his reckoning, and
like a drowning man, grasps at any
straw. He now claims that while the
valuation in Altoona and Montmorency
counties has been decreased, Alpena
county has been increased unjustly.
Now in this little comparison the
Pioneer man is either ignorant of the
real facts, or else he is trying to show
things in a false light. He claims
that during the past five years nearly
all the valuable pine in this county
has been cut, and consequently there
should not have been any such raise
in valuation. But here is where he
shows his lack of knowledge. He
does not seem to know that it is 9
fact that during the past ten years
there has been very little pine cut in
Alpena county, for the simple reason
that the pine timber in this county
was practically exhausted fifteen years
ago, and that during the past ten
years nine.tenths of the pine manu-
featured at the mills in this city, has
been cut from lands in Altoona
Oscoda, Montmorency and Presque
Isle counties, thus taking the valu-
able products Of these other counties
to build up and enrich Alpena. Fur.
Their, all the timber that has been cut
in Alpena county during the past five
years, instead of taking any wealth
away, has added value to the county
in improved lands, for it is undisput.
ed that there has been very little
timber cut in this county during the
last five years except mainly for the
purpose of clearing the land and
bring it to a state of cultivation. But
other counties have been Invested OF
their pine, and Alpena has the bene-
fit of a large portion of it.
When the 28.cent man of the
Pioneer says this county has not the
wealth it had FIVE or ten years ago,
he either does not know what he is
talking about, or else he states that
which he. as well as the people Of this
county, knows to be absolutely false.
The whole truth Of the matter
seems to lie in the little fact that the
28-cent cronic grumbler Of the
Pioneer is possessed of too much
mouth and too little regard for the
truth.

How Our Farmers Would Suffer II
Canada and England Should Tax
Our Grain.

The following letter, addressed to
the Hon. William L. Wilson, is well
worth the thoughtful attention o.
Western grain-growers, whom the
greedy tariff monopolists expose to
double losses on their produce
Cincinnati, Nov. 49, am in re-

public of the 10th and 18th and an
greatly pleased with your tariff article
of the latter date. Having recently
spent two years in England and dur
ing that period taken considerable
interest in their political affairs, fee
confident that after accomplishing 70,
Ireland, if the Conservative party be
successful in the approaching Parlia-
mentary election, their chief attention
will be given to measures calculated
to bind their great colonies more
closely to them.
Our late tariff legislation has struck
Canada very severely, and she must
find relief in some way from its effects
This she can obtain, / believe, only
in one of three ways BY a liberal
reciprocity arrangement with us, OF
by political union, or by a new com.
mercial arrangement with England.
The plan discussed in England is
to place moderate import duties on
grain and food products from the
United States, and admit all the pro-
ducts Of Canada free, as heretofore
This would give the Canadian farmer
a higher price for his products than
the American farmer would receive,
as the prices Of all these staples are
fixed where our surplus is sold. 1t Is
claimed by the advocates Of this policy
that it would lead to the rapid settle.
ment of the Northwest Territory
Immediately advance the business OF
the Northern Canadian and other
railroads and give an enormous slim
ulation to all the Canadian cities.
This, it is claimed by the advocates Of
the policy in England, would bind
Canada fast to the Empire, and she
in return would discriminate in her
tariff in favor Of English as compared
with United States manufactures.
This policy would also be very pop
ular with the Irish farmers, who are
rapidly becoming the owners of the
soil.
Heretofore the great manufacturing

The Judges friends in Georgia
some time since we're extremely anx-
ious that he should enter the race for
the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor of The State. but wiser counsel
finally prevailed and he decided to
retain his place in Congress. As the
result has amply demonstrated, his
choice was an exceedingly wise one.
He remained at his post in Washing
ton and for the first time since the
famous days of Howell Cobb Georgia
has one of her representatives in the
Speakers chair. In the last session
the Georgian distinguished himself
by his battles in the Committee on
Elections. He never loses his tenn
per. 1t has been noticed more than
once that during the warmest debates
in the struggles over the rules and
against the Force bill he and Reed
were the only cool men in the cham.
Der. and he never failed to command
the attention of the Speaker and the
House.
The new Speakers magnificent
command of his temper is not by any
means the greatest of his qualification
for the position. AS a parliament
tartan he has few equals, certainly
within recent years he has had nc
superior. He is always earnest and
sincere, and as a man of affairs and
possessor Of marked executive ability
his period of service on the Bench
has been made public property
When the contest between Randall
and Carlisle began, just prior to
the beginning Of the Forty eighth Con-
gress, Mr.. Crisp had been very friend
ly with Randall for long time. The
representative from Georgia, however
felt that Carlisle was entirely on the
right side, and he did not hesitate fol
a moment to take the gallant Ken
tuckian's part in the fray.
During the battle against the Fore,

sentative at all the meetings of the
Democratic Steering Committee of tn,

and keen insight into the situation
were cheerfully acknowledged on al
hands.-N. Y. World.

The New Senate.

The Senate of Fifty.second Congress
is composed of forty-seven Republi-
cans, thirty-nine Democrats and two
Alliance men.
A Republican, Mr.. FELTON,, has sue
ceeded Mr.. Hearst in California. A
Democrat, Gen. Palmer, has succeed
Mr.. Farwell of Illinois. Mr.. PETER,
of the Farmers Alliance, has been
chosen from Kansas in place of Mr..
Ingalls,. Mr.. Gibson, of the last
House, takes the place of Senator
Wilson, of Maryland, who is dead.
Jacob H. Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, follows Mr.. Blair. David B.
Hill succeeds Mr.. Evarts. Mr.. Hans
brougb, of North Dakota, succeeds Mr.
Pierce. John L. M. Irby, of South
Carolina, takes the place of Wade
Hampton. Calvin S. Brice follows
Mr.. Payne. Ex-Secretary Villas sue
ceeds Mr.. Spooner, and Mr.. Kyle, of
the Farmers Alliances, has been
chosen in the place of Mr.. Moody, of
South Dakota.
These are the new senators. On
any reasonable tariff.reduction mea-
sure the Democrats are shure of PETER
and Kyle, and on such special bills
as a measure for putting cotton ties
or binding-twine or coal or certain
ores on the free list the vote against
the high-protection Republicans will
be further increased.
In the first place there are the
three Senators-Paddock, Pettigrew

Kinley bill. To these must be added
Mr.. Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
who is pledged against all high-tariff
legislation. These four transferred

OTTO NOT IN IT.
MRS. CARHART AND MARY APPEAR
TO BE RECONCILED.
The Local Lochinvar Out of the LAWS
Clutches : Mrs. Carhart Declines to
Talk-The Situation as 1t Was Last
Evening.

The Burbank elopement storyscame
to the front once again yesterday.
At 0 O'Clock Otto Kieslich appeared at
Garvanza. Justice Bartholomew had ar
ranged a temporary court room at his
home for the occasion. Mrs. Carhars,
the complaining witness, failed to ap-
pear. The representative from the dis
trict attorneys Office made motion to
dismiss the charge of disturbing the
peace against Kieslich, which was done.
The debonair defendant left Garvanza
for Los Angeles, and It is reported that
conference took place between the in
terested parties. At all events, Kieslich
has not got the clear road before him he
so confidently anticipated on Sunday. On
that eventful day, with the graceful Miss
Mary clinging to his arm, the Burbank
representative of Mrs. Carhart, labored
under the delusion that theyoung lady
ard the one hundred thousand dollars
were his, beyond any doubt.
There is many slip between the
cup and the lip" This old saying never
proved more true than it did yesterday.
Miss Mary it is claimed made up with
her mother, and as far as can be ascer-
tanned Otto is out in the cold world. 1t
now depends whether the mother or
lover has the most influence with the
young lady. Possession is nine points
OF the law, consequently Mrs. Carhart
now appears to have the best of the situ-
alton.
A HERALD reporter last night sent up
his card to Mrs. Carhart. The lady
would not be interviewed, however.
She sent word that she was too indis-
posed to see any one just at present.
She has not been to Burbank since the
eventful Saturday night.
Otto Kieslich has thus far managed to
keep out of the way OF the reporters.
He is now in the city, and probably
will remain until some settlement is
arrived at. 1t has been industriously
reported by interested parties that
Kieslich has wife and two children in
the east. This story is probably not
correct, as he appears to be too shrewd
a fellow to take chances of being arrest
ed for bigamy.
The case is getting more interesting
every day, but climax is liable to be
reached before the end of the week.
Justice Bartholomew was also informed
by an interested party that Miss Mary
Carhart had already attained her eight
eenth birthday.
Every effort is now being made to
prevent Otto from seeing or correspond
ing with the younp ludv
