is surprised and pleased to see is that in
the newspapers of France and England, in
the advertisements of business men. the
phrase 'patronze home industries is en-
ployed as vigorously and as Loyalty as it is
by the Republicans OF the United States.
The London Times is speckled with this
phrase, scattered through the advertise
ments of the business men of England.
They want Englishmen to patronize Eng
land, but they want Americans to patron
ize England in preference to their own
country.
II is also clear to the observing Republi-
can that the policy of protection is grow
ing in strength both in England and France.
1t is dominant i'm the latter country, which
is returning to the axiom of Colbert, the
great financier of the great Louis, when he
said: IL would make France as ndepend-
ent of all the rest of the world as possible,
and | would make all the rest of the world
as dependent as possible on France"

The people of St. Paul, Mimi, have this
week made determined and winning fight
against a public prize fight which it was
proposed to hold in that city between two
leading pugilists, under the guise of glove
contest. The fight was to take place under
the auspices of an athletic club, a strong
and leading organization of the city. The
club had made deposit of $1,000 for the
contestants and had built apavilion that had
cost $1,000. The ministers of the city first
raised protest and other citizens backed
them up i'm dead earnest. The mayor was
on the side of the bruisers, and held that
he had no authority to interfere with the
exhibition" On appealing to the COVER
nor of the state that official took a very
different attitude He said that the fight
should not take place, directed the st. Paul
sheriff to stop it, and ordered the state
militia TO be ready for service if called upon.
This looked too much like business for the
gentlemen of the athletic club and they
surrendered, and are now engaged in 'cry-
ing baby over the loss of their 5000 de-
post and their $1,000 pavilion investment,
pronOuncing the action of the state author
tiles to be 'cruel and'mjust," because GOV.
Merriam did not step in 80 or 90 days
earlier, before any money had been eXpend-
ed. The governor has evidently got the
right stuff in him, for he declares that the
fight shall not take place within the state
limits.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.
From CIaremont.

a representative of the Claremont Ad-
vocate was in town last Friday and wit
messed the game with Northampton. The
following is part of what he has to say
in this weeks paper: "The Brattleboro
battery, judging from that game, would
have to brace a great deal to be on par
with Burns and Barry. O'Neills work at
first was clearly inferior to Hunters, and
the Brattleboro second baseman was charge
able with bad error of judgment, which
gave the NorthamptOns a run. Neil Sulli-
van covered third to help out, although he
has not fully recovered from a severe siege
with the grip and has been forbidden by
his physician to play ball. Bratteboro has
undoubtedly got together an aggregation of
hitters, but their fielding in Fridays game
was denOminated rotten by their own par
tisans. As an exhibition by the alleged
strongest team in Vermont or New Hamp-
shire ii was so far from convincing as to
be fiat failure" 1t is generally admitted
that the BrattlebOros had an "off'' day on
Friday last, but the tenor of the Advocate
article is highly suggestive of sour grapes.
No wonder; it will be a long time before
the Claremonts forget the severe drubbngs
given by Brattleboro the past two seasons.
And if the Claremont and Brattleboro
teams meet this year it will be the same
old story.

Mr.. Quny,. KesIgnntion.

The New York Press, in speaking of
Mr.. Quay's proposed resignation of the
chairmanship of the Republican national
committee, says:
at is intimated that i'm view Of Senator
Quay former usefulness and his UNEQUAL
ed intelligence as a campaign manager, his
resignation may not be accepted. The
Press, however, is of the opinion that il
ought to be accepted unanimously Sena-
tor Quay's wish to tender it is proof that
he recognizes the drift of enlightened pub
lie opinion better than his defenders do.
For his abilities the Press frankly accords
him credit. The partys defeats last year
were largely due to the inference, warrant
ed by his silence in the face of very grave
criminal charges, that ne was unable To
vindicate himself as the best element of
the party demanded that he should. All
the amends that he can now make is to de-
fer to the sentiment of the party that de-
mands his retirement, and 10 do so prompt
ly. The more promptly the better for the
party. The Press regrets as much as any
body the necessity for this step on Senator
Quay's part, but there is no help for it.
He should resign the national chairman
ship, and his resignation should be accept
ed.
The Albany Journal which, no less than
the Press, is one of the most stalwart of
Republican papers, also urges the import
ance of Quay's resignation:
That Mr.. Quay possesses unusual gen
ius and capacity for organizing and direct
ing political forces is an established fact
which does not admit of dispute. That he
has been subjected to abuse at the hands
of Democrats because he contributed large
ly 10 the defeat of Grover Cleveland in
1888 is also admitted. Nevertheless it is
the opinion of conservative Republicans
throughout the country who do their own
thinking and who do not take their politics
from the Democratic press, that Mr.. Quays 5
services may well be dispensed with; and
this feeling is voiced by substantial and
stalwart Republican newspapers like the
Boston Journal, Hartford COurant and
Cleveland Leader. 1t is unnecessary to
recite the grave charges under which Mr..
Quay remained silent, the insuffciency of
his statement in his own behalf, the lack
of moral sentiment and the caloused con-
science which the man exhibits, his re-
sponsibility for the crushing Republican
defeat in Pennsylvania last November and
the dead weight which he exercises on the
party at large. The general Republican
demand is that Quay must 90. And he
can't go too quickly

The Growth orthe south.

The statistics presented by Mr.. Porter,
superintendent of the census in recent
number of the Manufacturers Record, IL
Illustrating the remarkable growth of the
South, are attracting great deal of atten-
ton. The most significant fact is that the
South is not only growing along the old
lines, but that entirely new and widely di-
versified industries are being developed
The gain in value of the agricultural prod
ucts of the South in 1889, as compared
with 1879, was more than $3.50, 600. .00O
and during the same period the increase in
value of live stock was nearly Sl7S, coo, 600.
The extraordinary recuperative powers of
the South since the war are explained in
part by the fact that since 1865 there have
been brought into that section for payment
for its cotton crop nearly $4,000, 900, 900.
In 1880 the twelve Southern states had
only 1j6 cotton mills. which manufactured
10000 bales of cotton: in 1890 they had
366 mills, which manufactured half a mil
lion bales. The South today is producing
as much coal, iron ore and pig iron as the
whole country did twenty years ago. In
1850 the entire output of pig iron was less
than 100000 tons; in 1890 the production
of iron ore amounted to 2.917.j29 tons.
The railroad mileage of the South increas-
ed over 81 per cent during the decade, and
the total gain in the value Of property dur
ing the ten years is estimated at 5000

THE New York Tribune on the Ohio Democratic
free coinage plank
Suppose Congress had enacted that every
pound of tin plate produced in this com-
try should be purchased by government,
and in addition all the tin plates that any
foreigners might see fit to send hither, and
that legal tender notes should be given for
the entire quantity at such a rate that in
stead of Sc, 100000 it should cost over
S4O,OOO,000. Would there not be strong
reason for denouncing such a plunder of
the many for the benefit of the few? But
the same Democratic convention which
rants and raves about the duty on tin
plates solemnly resolves that government
must pay about One-third more than the
market price for all the silver that may be
delivered to it, SO that the yearly product
of American mines, which is now worth
about S5l 100000 in market value. shall
be sold to the government for $4,000, 600
or more. The new tariff has not a single
provision which would take from the peo-
pie half as much money for any purpose
whatever as the free coinage bill would
take from them for the benefit of the few
owners of silver mines.

for the "free and Unlimited coinage of

see how Mr.. Cleveland will, without stulti-
flying himself, reconcile this with the di-
rcctly opposite views enunciated in his ia

national convention looming up ahead it is
a pretty clear case of man between the
devil and the deep sea.

The Eastern Democrats are filed with
uneasy forebodings, which amount to dis
may, over the action of the Ohio Demo
Gratis in putting an out-and-out unlimited
free-silvcr-coinage plank into their plat

puts the party in the wrong on the fnan-
cial question, and aienates the sympathy
of level-headed honest-minded men the
country over. In this connection it is
worth while to note that the Republican

is what they have to say oh the silver ques-
ton:
Repub platforms. Dem. platforms.

l'aNAANH'l
Those who went to Northampton this
week to see the ball game came to the con-
clusion that the people of the Meadow city
are very nearly base ball crazy. They also
made up their minds that our neighbors
have much to learn as regards the national
game, judging from their conduct. Moth
ing can be more reprehensible than the yell
ing of a crowd for another pitcher when
the man in the "boX' is doing his best, al
though he may have been hit few times
to begin with. 1t disheartens tlhe pitcher
and handicaps the other players in the
team. On this occasion, however, Wood
cock settled down and pitched fine game,
thus getting even with those who lost their
heads and tried to oust him. The ringing
of COW bells and the blowing of tin horns
all through game is a nuisance and ought
TO be stopped by the management. A crowd
can applaud good plays and encourage its
favorites without yelling itself hoarse and
keeping up constant din.

A conviction has gained ground this
week that the stories which have been so
steadily and widely circulated in regard to
the alarming state of Mr. Blaine's health,
have been deliberately originated by his
enemies, or by persons jealous of his
strength and influence, to create an impress
sion that he is hopelessly broken down
physically and that his public career is
practically at an end. 1t is said that the
most diligent and malicious of the CORE
spondents who have done this work is a
Miss Hamm, at Bar Harbor, who has no
personal information whatever about Mr..
Blaine, and whom the Blaine family do
not even know by sight. Reports that
Mr.. Blaine has Bright's disease are denied
absolutely by physicians who have exam
ined him carefully. He has been a very
sick man from nervous exhaustion, but
there is every reason to believe that he will
be able to resume his work at the head of
the department of state by the time the
cool weather of the fall arrives.

WHY INDIANS DON'T FARM.


Some Good Reasons for Their Lack of In
terest in Agricultural Pursuits.
1t seems that no amount of explaining
will ever suppress that inevitable ques-
ton of why do the Indians not farm"
But, to treat the thing seriously. | will
explain that part of the Indian Terri
tory is Il fine farming country. and is
inhabited by the remnants of the East
ern tribes who do farm to some extent.
The Cheyennes, Comanches. Kiowas,
and Arapahoes live west of the rain
belt, and it is exceptional when corn
crop can be raised once in four years.
That seems to be reason enough to deter
white men from farming there. and it
ought to at least account for the Indians
lack of success. Those parts of Kansas
and Texas lying north and south of
these reservations are not regarded as
farming countries. On certain parts of
the Sioux reserve crops might be
raised, but on the greater area of
it no results can be attained without
irrigation. 'she northern Cheyennes
could not farm for the same reason,
though the Crows are more fortunately
situated, as the broad bottoms of the
Little Big Horn can be irrigated at Il
trihing expense. A curious fact might
be mentioned in confirmation of all
this. which is that there are less white
people on the high plains of the North
west now than there were ten years
ago, and there will probably be less in
ten wears more than there are now. IN
less the country is reclaimed by irriga-
ton, which could only be done by sys-
TEN of water storage made possible
after vast outlay Of labor and capital.
knowing these facts. it is serious ignor-
ance when one hears this talk about
farming on the old buffalo range. Any
stockman will tell you that it is Il ques-
ton, and most of them will decide in
the Negative, when you ask if the high
plains of the Northwest are cattle
country. to say nothing of agriculture
All these reports of Indian agents to
their department about the industrial,
| and especially the agricultural, progress
of their wards are gilded. to say the
least; and in great many instances you
can rub off the gilt and disclose simple
commonplace lies, with no foundation
whatever in TACT. But the Indian agents
are simply men who are occupying a
political d ointment for a brief term
and they do many things which are not
high-minded.-F. Remington. in Har
