British Bsaf Rsnavolanne.

While a part Of the British army was
busily engaged In discriminating the Mani
puris in Asia and another portion OF the
queen's forces was equally as industriously
slaughtering the subjects of the black King
of Dahomey in Africa, a pious aud solicit
tously humane committee at home was or
ganizing for the purpose Of tenderly inves-
tigating the allegations of unduly harsh
treatment of American cattle ia transit
across the Atlantic. Taken altogether these
three movements do not appear quite con-
sistent. Either those poor savages are held
in far less esteem than beef cattle or else the
humane element of England which en-
deavors to care so tenderly for imported
beef has no control over the British armies
nor very little influence in their direction.
Every person of humane instincts natu-
rally wishes to see beef cattle, as well as
other animate objects, treated as kindly as
possible. But we cannot all bring our
solicitude to the point OF demanding that
ships shall not rock at sea, and that
vessels shall be provided with patent ven>
tilators and manned by scholarly people Of
gentle sensibility aud orthodox religious
| training.
There is but one thing in the demand of
this committee that is reasonable, and that
is the recommendation that all cattlemsn
on ships shall sign the ships articles and
thus be placed under command of the cap
tain. who can restrain them from any I'M
necessary cruelty or suppress riotous tend
encies and be held accountable to the
maritime laws Of the country under whose
flag he sails for the proper conduct of his
crew and auxiliary aids and the proper con-
dition Of his cargo. Such restraints are
| really necessary and ought to be- enforced.

An Honest Manufacturer.

One manufacturer has been found who is
honest enough to say that he sells the prod
uct of his factory at from to 10 per
cent. cheaper IN the South American mar
| keIs than in the home market. He Is Mr..
| A. B. Farquar, of the Farquar manufactur-
ing firm, at York, Pa. The Boston Home
Market Club asked him series of questions
recently with view of getting informa-
ton to refute the charges of the tariff re-
formers that the farmers of this country
pay more for their agricultural implements
and machinery, manufactured in this
country than the South American farmers
pay for the same kind of agricultural i'm
plements and machinery, the product of the
same factories. The club got information,
but not the kind it wanted. Mr.. Farquar
stated that about one-half of the product
of his factory was sold in this country and
the other half in South America, Mexico,
Africa, France and Germany. He frankly
admitted that American farmers were
charged from 5 to 10 per cent. more than
the farmers of other countries, and he gave
as a reason that he had to compete with
foreign manufacturers in foreign markets,
and, therefore, had to sell cheaper. But he
sold at a profit. He demanded higher
prices in the home market because the high
protective tariff enabled him to do SO.
Here is fair and square admission Ithat
the high protective tariff-the Mckinley
tariff-enables the manufacturers to rob
the farmers Let the farmers think of this.
If they could buy all Of the manufactured
supplies they need at prices at which they
are sold in foreign markets. would not their
material condition be much better than it
is? OF course it would, and they would
have much less occasion to complain Of hard
times.
But Mr.. Farquar goes much further in his
answers to the Boston Home Market Club,
and says that if the tariff were placed on
revenue basis. 50 that he could get raw ma
terial as cheaply as foreign manufacturers
get it, he would be able to greatly increase
his trade abroad. And so would other
manufacturers, and our manufacturers, in
stead of having to fight for the little export
trade they have, would be able to occupy
a large place in foreign markets. With our
superior machinery and better workmen
we would be able TO control markets to the
south of US so far as manufactured goods
are concerned.
The tariff must be the leading issue in
1892. It is the great issue. 1t is the issue,
il pushed boldly to the front, that will give
the victory to the Democratic party.

Injustice to Indians,


Probably there is no tribe of Indians on
the American continent so quiet and peace
able and altogether inoffensive as the Nav
ajoes OF California and New Mexico. They
have always been very friendly and not
only peaceably disposed but rather inclined
TO be industrious to an unusual degree for
Indians. But there is an apparent prospect
now that even the peaceful Navajoes will
soon be driven into open revolt by the fla.
grant invasion of their rights by the lawless
class Of white men who generally go about
the frontier prospecting for precious metals
According to the Indians theory these
men have no right whatever upon his reser>
walton and he threatens to shoot any one
caught in molesting mis- property or attempt
ing to take possession Of it. That seems to
be perfectly lawful Such course would
be sustained by public opinion in a civilized
settlement. 1t is simply protecting ones
property.
On the other hand the prospecting meraud-
ers claim that they have a right to stake of
claims anywhere whiting the boundaries of
the United States, whether the land belongs
to Indian or white man. Whence they de-
rived such right is not by any means clear.
Nor could they establish it by any means
except drawing heavily upon their own
lawless notions and customs.
II the government has guaranteed to these
Indians exclusive possession of their reser-
walton then it is the manifest duty of the
government to protect them from the en-
croachment and interference of these law
less marauders. Else tine Indians cannot
accept the pledge Of the United States as
worth anything more than that of an army
sutler. Protection in the peaceful
possession of their property has been prom
ised them, and protection should be giver
them if it takes every soldier of the regular
army to do it. Many less soldiers would b.
required to drive off the cowardly outlaws
than would be necessary to subdue the In
dams should they once become aroused
Anoth er common Indian affiiction should
receive attention. Those pestiferous New
England "philanthropists." who go out Their,
to teach Indian children by taking then
away off from their tribe and then literally
pounding them into cripples ought to b'
suppressed. They are altogether too effu
sively good.

wanamaker a Convert.

It is announced that Postmaster General
! Wanamaker has become convert to civil
service reform. He has no hesitation in
saying that he is tired Of a system which
permits him to be worried aud his time
taken up by applicants for the vacancy
every time spittoon cleaner in his depart
ment dies or resigns.
Mr.. Wanamaker was rather pleased
when be entered upon the duties Of his Office
to have senators AMI representatives beg
ging him for favors for this or that person,
but he has got all he wants of that sort of
thing. He finds that if he should listen to
all that applicants for Office aud their
friends have to say he would not have time
for anything else.
And when a high class clerk drops out
there begins an extraordinary scramble for
his place by clerks holding lower places.
The scramble and the excitement become
SO great that work is practically suspended.
And when a choice is made the only one in
the whole lot who is pleased is the success
full one. All the rest are mad and denouncs
the Postmaster General in unmeasured
terms.
ment must be brought under civil service
rules. and that applicants for Office must be
required to stand on their merits 1t is
a wonder that Mr.. Wanamaker did not find
out long ago that the spoils system was
bad one-a system that only INSCRIPTIONS
politicians favored. 1t lets into the offices
men who render little or no service,
and who depend upon those who got
them appointed to keep them in their
places.
But cabinet officers have got something to
do besides listening to the appeals Of men
and women who want places under the gov
eminent. Great questions relating to their
departments and cabinet matters ought to
occupy their whole time.
There are leading men in both political
parties who sheer at civil service reform.
They do SO because they are deprived of the
chance to have dependent henchmen or poor
relatives taken care of at the expense of
the government. They know, however,
that congress never did a wiser thing than
when it enacted the civil service reform
law.
And the people know that it is wise
law. Before they will permit il to be re-,
pealed or nullified they will drive every
advocate of the spoils system out of public
life.

Charging the moderator of church as
semnlage with being a liar and a scandal
monger is well calculated to cause a sensa-
ton almost anywhere. So it is not at all
strange that the Reformed Presbyterian
synod should have been almost paralyzed
with astonishment when such charge was
made against DIR. David McAllister by the
friends of those ministers who were on trial
for suspension for some infraction of church
doctrine or rules. Should such severe
charges be sustained the eminent divine
would prove wholly unfit for association
with decent people, much less to act as the
spiritual guide of a multitude. Yet the
doctors accusers make their charges with
great circumstantiality of detail and name
names and cite dates. 1t may make serious
trouble in the church yet, as both sides have
their partisans and each side manifestly
considers its principal undeniably in the
right. Meanwhile the synod was virtually
unanimous in at least one thing. That is a
strong inclination TO ''boyeott" the worlds
fair if it does not close up on Sunday. At
present they certainly could not complain
OF the thorough way in which it is closed
. up.

Up to that moment the true meaning Of the
