II the Press were not too wildly crazy
or too deeply interested in the various
schemes of drawing money from the
people In another systematic fraud that
is far worse than the Union Pacific rail
road-the system of protection to pri-
vate industries-it might draw an 10
structive parallel here.
The government had mortgage on the
railway aud still 1t was cheated.
Even the great man, James g. Blaine,
went wrong on the Union Pacific rail.

whenever he aud Thurman we're about to
bring those gigantic thieves to the bar Of
justice Mr.. Blaine popped up from con.

II has been impossible to recover either
interest or principal from them for the
$50, 600. 900 advanced to build the rail

been nourished till it is now strong

eight Senators TO Congress; TO procur
favorable state and national Legislation
whenever desired.
Cannot the Press find a psrallel to tn

Cannot the words Of the Press be use

whatever, but which, by paid attorney

THE case that Is now receiving the at
tention of the coroner Of New Castle
county seems to be enshrouded In mys-
terry. The man, ~ B. Williams" or
whoever he may be, either committed
suicide or he fell before an assassin. II
the latter DO true, the murder is one Of
the foulest in the annals of crime In
Delaware From the evidences Of the
spot where the body was found, the In
dications are that the body was either
brought there and deposited on the road
side, or there was not the slightest
struggle before the shot was fred, or
the fnintest tremor after the man fell
II the man committed suicide, his
weapon was stolen from beside his body.
Then, II this be true, the person who
stole the pistol may have to
pay the penalty of death
for the mans murder, If the weapon Is
found upon him. On the contrary, II the
man was murdered, his assassins or as
sassin should be searched for from Maine
TO Florida, and not 4 stone should be left
unturned in the search. II would, there
fore, have been an excellsnt plan to en-.
gage one Of Pinkertons most alert aud
experienced sleuthhounds, while the
corpse was yet warm, to act in conjunc-
tion With the state and city detectives. A
man who knows the country thoroughly
and has hunted down hundreds of crimi
nails, who is not known and who could
handle a spade, pick or sledge as work
ingman In order to capture his man, would
be Of far greater service than the local
detectives, who have but limited ex-
perience in such cases and are known
generally.

AT THE meeting Of the scientists in

read a paper showing that only one
child born in the stirpiculture expert
ments is ''perfectionist. The origina-
tor Of the experiment was Jealous but
logical enthusiast, the late John Humph-
rey Noyes; the purpose was the promo
tion of sanctlty; the place and the means
were the Oneida community. But,
Mrs. MCGEE said in conclusion, "the
main object Of the experiment has
not yet been attained Only one Of
the children is perfectionist and he
was born Of an uncle and niece. or the
rest but few are regular church members
This experiment would therefore seem
to show that while the race could doubt
less be improved by more attention to
stirplculture, yet when directed to the
Of a belief success cannot
confidently be expected We do not
know Mrs McGee, but we feel confident
that she might devote her talent,n mat
ter how feeble, and her time, no matter
how much of it she has to throw away, to
some better purpose than the study Of
stirpiculture.

protectionist must profess to undertake
that task for the commodities of 1000
industries without having any expert
knowledge Of more than one industry.
Can the man who attempts such task
as that be an honest man2 He may be
sincere, but he cannot be honest with
himself even. The task is impossible.
tbs not enough for serupulously

Any man, no matter how rudimentary
his knowledge or how simple his process
Of thought, may determine whether he
should assist in enforcing an obnoxious
and hateful tax upon his neighbor with
out having some facts or
knowledge within his own expert
ence, which justify him in thus out

was 30 per cent. and quoting prices on

one man should be taxed to increase

WHO KNOWS WHAT HE is DolNei


The tariff as a tax to pay the expenses
of the Government is simple matter.
Il need not include more than twelve
articles and might be laid 50 that the
government would realize the entire
amount paid by the people rather than
compel the people to pay So to the
owners of the goods for every 81 which
goes into the public treasury as now.
But the tariff for protection is an
infinitely complex matter. Not even an
expert can know its various snd incon-
sistent workings so as not to commit
absurd plumbers and make himself
ridiculous in attempting to advocate it as
a policy or to explain it on the theory
that it is a public boon.
The scheme Of making the people
silent, losing partners in 1000 Industries
alleged to be unprohtsble, is a complica
tion Of commerce, of legislation. of sym
spathy and Of charlatanry, which is LIABLE
