ALEXANDER HAMILTON will be out Of
sight. In the middle era of the century
DANIEL WEBSTER is the only great
statesman to be transmitted. AS pub
lie man of ponderous brain, and as the
bulwark of the constitution, WEBSTER
is far in the front, but as one
who could construct political fab
RIGS, and organize institutions. 1t will
be difficult for posterity to determine
upon what such claims rest. No inn
portant measure in the legislation of the
nation ever had his stamp upon it.
CLAY was more successful in shaping
legislation, and most of his efforts
were in the face of adverse currents
and ineffective. As lawyer and real
soner, WEBSTER was above all his con-
temporarieS, and his great speeches
will do the loudest laundering down the
ages of any efforts of his day; but in the
craftsmanship that endures in the con-
crete form of public measures there is
little to show for WEBSTER.

OUR ALUMNI.

The Northwest has reason to ,congrat-
ulate itself Oh the alumni its educa-
tional machines are turning out yearly
to battle with the world. This rapidly
growing industry is a source of gratifi-
cation to every patriotic citizen, and
deserves more than passing mention.
To be an alumnus is something that
every school boy looks forward to with
much the same feeling he awaited his
first boots, Or grew to his premiere pair
of pants. Strictly speaking, alumni can
only emanate from colleges: but, in a
broad sense, an alumnuS can be a grad
uate from anything; and as we need
alumnuses in our business, and need
them quick. we are having them made
at home. Our colleges can't supply the
demand; and now our high schools,
grammar schools and private schools
have their alumni associations. We un.
derstand the newsboys' home has be-
come imbued with the spirit of the
times, and is to have its alumni, too;
and that the proprietor of the fruit
stand of the future can claim the trade
of the newsboys and bootblacks on the
ground that he is an alumnuS.
Being democratic from the ground up,
we are glad to see this sort of thing.
Time was when the word alumnus was
a synonym for aristocrat. but the adapt.
ability of the progressive West to alb.
serb all that is good has put this once
high-priced honor within the reach OF
all, and now firSt-cIasS ball player OF
a crack oarsman can be an alumnus
without having to go through four years
of drudgery and graphing with tempta-
tons in classic college halls. The grad

might be calling on the proprietor as a

the alumni of Harvard or Yale may not
be disposed to greet the alumni of the

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The Republican state convention of
Ohio will inaugurate the political sea-
son next Tuesday and Wednesday, and
the occasion is attracting much atten-
ton. Among the members of the body
will be Senator SHERMAN, Secretary
FOSTER, Gov. FORAKER and other party
notables. MCKINLEY will be nominated
for governor, probably by reclamation.
He states that he is willing to make
the canvass squarely and exclusively
on his tariff measure. That will be
on trial, and give the contest more
national interest than is usual even to
Ohio politics. 1t is to be regretted that
the Democratic candidate, no doubt
Gov. CAMPBELL, has made it difficult
for him to carry the full strength of
his party. A faction will apparently
knife him, but still the fight will be
interesting, and there is good deal of
confidence of Democratic success.

PERHAPS TIE BEST WAY

The presidents are all for the erection
of statues to men after they have passed
away. There are advantages in this
practice, as it spares the bushes of the
party represented when the taffy is
poured out at the dedication, and may
avoid the modification of possible sneers
of the envious. At Brooklyn, n. Y,
not long since, statue was unveiled
in one of the finest parks, while the
party depicted sat upon the platform
and responded to a call from the
audience. He was not rich man, nor
great in any speciality, but he was one
who had grown into the hearts of the
people by his long and untiring efforts
for the advancement of the community.
so that they could not wait for his death
to give an expression to their feelings.
He was called ''the first citizen of
Brooklyn" not in age or position, but
merit as citizen. A man may be
allowed to swell up little when his
fellow citizens insist upon paying for
his statue while he is living.

Log Record Broken.

According to the Lumberman, the log
record up to June L has been broken
this year, as shown by the surveyor gen
erals scale, the footings showing 569, POI
logs, scaling 81, S22, go feet. This is
more logs than had been turned out
up to the middle of July last
year. In 1887 and last wear
there was no scale made up to
June l, the first footing being made TO
July l. In 1888, the June l scale showed
oniy 29,l4O,99O feet, and in 1889. 81,
J34, $50 feet. If, from this on, logs are
got out no faster than they were last
year, the cut of the mills will COR
slderably exceed 4J0,00o,00O feet. The
prospects are that lumber will be manu-
featured during the remainder of the
season faster than it was last year.

ARE LAWYERS HEssIANs?

Some people say that lawyers are
Hessians because they fight other peo-
pies battles. But they are not. They
are rather like brave men whom the
chances of life make to dwell now in
one land and now in another, but who,
wherever they are, honor the king I'M
der whose flag they serve, and coura-
geously labor for his interests. Lawyers
are like actors. AS they play their
parts. they are the parts they play.
Otherwise they make but small prog
ress. The great lawyer Identifies him
self with his clients cause, and for the
time he is his clients partner in the en-
terprise entrusted to him. He does not
sell his energies for his fee, like the
mercenary, but he pants for the victory
because its glory is his as well as the
mans for whom he works.
Lawyers are at once the most con-
sentative and the braveSt class in the
community. They love precedent. be-
cause they appreciate its value in theI r
contests. At the same time, they are so
constantly hedged about by the privi-
leges and immunitieS of their profess
sion in court that they learn to express
their views boldly and without fear of
the consequences. Craft counts in a
lawyers career, but before a jury not
half as much as dash and spirit. The
advocate VINO tits gracefully, and yet
aggressiyely, in the forum wins the adj
miration of the judges. This encour-
ages him to be strong and Outspoken,
and III times of deep popular feeling
lawyers will always be found at the
head of the column, directing their fell
lows and voIcing their sentiments.
Sir EDWARD CLARKE's conduct of
the GORDON CUNNING case shows how
even an English Tory dares to castigate
his king if his clients cause demands
1t. When the trial began Lord COLE
Prince of Wales attended not from
idle curiosity, but because his evidence
was needed, and was to be taken.
But this was not so, because long after
he had been called as a witness he con-
tinued day after day to sit beside the
judge. Why did he do this? That is
the question Sir EDWARD CLARKE
asked when he came to his address to
the jury. And he also answered it by
saying the common report was that the
prince lent his presence because he
thought in this way to still the voice of
the plaintiffs witnesses and of his at
torney. Perhaps this was the reason;
but il 1t was, the royal heir did not
know what lawyers spirit IS. In the
presence Of his king. the brave solicitor
general, while the people applauded,
denounced in full measure the shame of
the debauch in which the prince had
Joined, and boldly declared that his
client had sacrificed himself to save his
monarch'S honor. He fought against
great odds, but his courage was the
true lawyers courage, which knows no
distinctions of persons in its struggle
for victory.

PRODUCT OF THE WORLD.

The production OF sugar from the
beet seems still SO much of an expert
ment that the statement is not readily
accepted that the world consumes
double the amount of sugar from the
beet that is made from sugar cane.
One of the consular reports to the state
department recently made public affords
some data in the case. The beet sugar
of the world has just about doubled in
quantity in the decade past. being now
put at 100000 tons. Germany leads in
the production, but nearly all the coun-
tries of Europe have made efforts to
establish the industry. These have
taken the form of bountieS or abate-
ment Of taxation On sugar that is re-
ported, as i'll the case of Germany.
France appears to head the list in the
cost ofitS aid to the industry, which is put
at 100000, and Germany at SIC. 900. 900.
Austro-Hungary, Belgium and Holland
have also been considerable producers.
England has labored for the removal of
all bounties. and Germany shows some
disposition to reduce its aid to the indus
try. The crop this year is expected to
be much the largest ever grown. and
perhaps reach 100000 tons. AS the
cane product is increasing also, it ought
to be difficult for any combinations or
trusts to advance, or even keep I'D, the
present figures. The policy of giving
government bounties to any industry
is VICIOUS and un-American. 1t will
hardly be continued for any great
length of time; but, while it exists, there
should be decisive tests in all the states
believed to be adapted to it as to how
far it Will be profitable to engage in the
production. 1t may be useful to diver
silly, If 1t does not afford as large mar
gins as some other crops.

CAN HAVE THE WAY.


1t may be a veniai conceit Of some
ladies that there is a suggestive sound
to the name of Rev. Mr.. CROOK, of
Louisville. The gentleman recently re-
solved in his mind that the time has
come to call halt to the women who
are moving toward the pulpit, as well
as other responsible stations that have
been deemed sacred TO men. He says:
Il greet this subject with a sigh. Ever
since the time Of EVE woman has been a
cause of disturbance in society. She is slip
ping into the salesman,s place, crowding
man from the shop, jostling him from the
typewriter, filling the telephone exchanges
attending medical lectures, has we'll nigh
captured the ferule, and is no longer knock
ing at the doors of the universities, but has
already entered and has begun taking prizes
May she preach? l think the churches and
the women are against It,
There is sad truth in the statement.
Woman has in all the reported times
made trouble in society. What cat
alogue could be given of the disturb
anceS the sex has caused in the rela-
tons of life. Yet, Oh the whole, the
world would be dull without her. So
ciety would be still more a delusion.
An old-time philosopher has said that
woman without her man is a BRUTE"
The truth is, as things are now, the
world could better afford to spare all
the men than all the women. In fact,
it would be improved if the evolution
airy processes could make a reduction of
about 40 per cent in the men. But
women are crowding around among
the compensated activities quite numer-
ously. If the pulpit is invaded there
will be less contention about dogmas,
ard the result may be as salubrious.
Solae women. however, are disposed to
agree with MI. CROOK An embassy
of women of social standing appeared
before the Illinois legislature a few
days ago, and deliberately and per-
suasively besought the legislators not
to extend further privileges to the sex
on the political line. \ bill had been
introduced, and was strongly support
ed, giving the women the ballot in
school and municipal matters, as has
been done in number of states. But
for this remonStrance it is prob
able the measure would have been
enacted, as it failed by only thrae
or four votes. 1t is not remembered
that women have ever, hitherto ap-
peared before legislatures to defeat bills
extending their political sphere. Per-
haps this makes a new departure in
that line. 1t has been apparent that
the great majority of the sex do not
want any enl argement of duties in the
political direction, but they have not
publicly opposed it. The work of tie
sutfragists might as we'll be confined to
the women. When they are fully per-
suaded that they want further enfran-
chisement, the men will stumble over
each other to grant their demands.
They have from the dawn of time had
the right to lecture. If they want to
preach now, the kickers will be prompt
ly thrown out of the way.

WILL GET THERE.

The pulpit has been so far invaded by
women that woman's ministerial con-
ference held in Boston has a place
among the important religious bodies
that have their stated conventicles. In
connection with 1t the figures are given
showing that the Quakers have $50
females who talk to congregations; and
among the ordained clergymen the Uni
tarians have the lead in proportion to
strength, with 16; the FreewIll Baptists
have 20, the Congregationalists 6, the
Methodists few. and there are large
number that do not come under denomi-
national heads, and perhaps have not
quite the authority to earn marriage
fees. The women are on the way to the
pulpit in growing numbers, and, when
the old notions are worn away, it will be
seen that they have gift of tongues
that men have to work for.

4 dastardly attempt was made to kill
Ira Travoli, his wife and five children
by blowing up their house with dyna-

the house, and all escaped unhurt. The
entire south end was blown to atoms.
and the force OF the explosion tore

diameter and two feet deep To-day
warrant was issued for the arrest OF
John Leggett, whose farm adjoins
Travoli's. They have quarreled a good
deal lately, and tracks from Travoli's
house to Leggett's were plainly visible.
