the most exciting episodes ever wit
messed in the court room took place
Since his apprehension Devine has
evidently arrived at the conclusion
that he would prefer Steilacoom to
Walla Walla as a place Of residence.
After his commitment to the county
iail he suddenly developed symptoms
of insanity, which il is believed by
those having him in charge he is feign-
ing. When anyone from the outside
goes near him he appears to be raw
ing maniac, although II Is said that
when alone with the prisoners he Is ra-
tional enough. He promised Sheriff
de I,orimier before being led into the
court room that he would be quiet If
allowed To go without handouts. He

The Fourth PERIOD.

The American Ec0nomist, one oil
the best protective tariff journal;
in the country, gives the following
as its opinion on the division of the
industrial and commercial history
Of our country:
"The industrial and commercial
history Of our country may be
divided into four periods:
The first, our early settlements
along the sea coast, with wilder
ness, into which settlers seldom
ventured far, on one side. and the
ocean, on which they made bold
ventures on the other.
The second, our invasion of the
forests, the pouring Of mighty
tide OF pioneers over the Allegha-
nies and the great lakes, the turn
m.g Of energy and enterprise from
sea to land.
The third, the clearing of mil
lions of farms, the building up of
great and varied manufactures, the
opening of mines, the utilizing Of
field and forest, the large supply
ing OF our wants, the great move
ment toward Industrial indepen-
dence.
The fourth, on which we are
now entering, is the reaching out
over oceans as well as prairies, the
mastery of the sea as we'll as the
land, making it the free highway
for American ships to carry our
products of farms and factory to
distant lands where our agent shall
sell goods, the trans-ocean travel
of our host of citizens who visit
Europe and the Orient in our own
ships, and the keeping at home Of
some $500, 100000 of freight and
travel charges yearly which now 60
abroad.
The fourth period referred to by
the Economist is one that will be as
successful as the first, second and
third. And it is the dissemination
of information supplied by Just
such papers as the American Econ
oD'ist that renders the success aimed
at possible.
The Republican., 1892-12-15

ing the period from March 4, 1885,
to Oct. 81, 1888, the number of
original certifcstes issued during
that period was 402, 1856, being an
excess of original certificates issued
during the period of your admins
tration Of 334, 796, and an aggregate
excess of all classes of certificates of
432, ,663.
The Democratic Congress will
not dare to repeal any pension law.
That would be too rank. The pen
SION claims still pending March 4,
1898, are likely to be ground out
with cruel slowness. This will be
real economy, however, for a pen
sion CLAIM, when allowed, dates
from the filing of the application.
The government must ultimately
foot the entire bill. But the poor
soldier may die in the meanwhile,
his last days imbittered and
shortened by poverty, and his back
pay go to his heirs.

their work for Free Trade, and the
fearful panic of 1887 wrought ruin.
This severe lesson was needed.
and in 1S42 came Protection under
Wing rule.
James X. Polk, a Democrat Presi-
dent, stated its result in his annual
message as prosperity without an
example," but that party, under
the lash of the slave power, like the
negro fearing the slave whip of the
overseer, brought us Free-Trade or
revenue tariff in 1S46, which lasted
until the days of James Buchanan.
when the government was compelled
to pay s to 12 per cent. interest for
few millions to keep it's affairs in
motion.
Then came a great uprising, and
opening Of blind eyes, a learning
from experience, a wiser and higher
mood. War was forced on us by
the South, the Confederacy died,
slavery and Free Trade, its corner
stones, were broken in pieces, and
Freedom and Protection came inx
stead, and with them Union more
real, a prosperity more wonderful,
than We ever before enjoyed.
Now comes another mood; the
same blindness, the same disregard
for the lessons of experience, the
same restless and unreasoniIg wish
for change, the Solid South, ruling
the Democracy, as did the old slave
power, and Free Trade confronting
us like a black cloud, big with the
destructive tornado.
Look at our nation for century,
and we see that while its moods
have varied, yet, on the whole, Wis
dom has gained and we have made
marked and cheering progress.
The lesson is one Of faith and
hope, and strength for needed
work.
The nations experience, and the
experience of the civilized world,
show the benefits of Projection and
the perils Of Free Trade. We can,
each and all, work and wait for a
higher mood-a change that shall
sweep away Free-1rade as by the
rush of a mighty wind. 1t will
come.

crisp's Unspoken Speech.

All right thinking men will sym
pathize with Mr.. Crisp, and repro
bate the conduct of the bad and
wicked men who invited him to at.
tend the Reform Club dinner, with
out telling him specifically that he
was to eat and listen, but to say
nothing. Mr.. Crisp knew that
speeches were to be made, and he
inferred that he would be expected
to make one of them, for is he not
Speaker with big S?
Therefore he prepared his speech,
and with great aforethought gave
copies Of it to the press associations.
All this was labor lost. Mr..
Crisp went to the banquet. He was
loaded with his speech, but the
chairman did not ask him to fire it
off. The chairman was that per-

niciously active mugwump who in
vestigated Mr.. Peck. Mr.. E Ellery
Anderson, and the fact that Mr.
Crisp's ideas of reform and Mr..
Anderson s views of the same subject
did not agree, may have had some
thing to do with the neglect to af-
ford the Speaker an opportunity to
speak.
AT all events, the neglect troubled
Mr., Crisp, and spoiled his enjoy
ment Of what otherwise would have
been a very good dinner. Mr..
Crisp left before the banquet was
concluded. He went to look for
his hat, it is said. He had neg
lected to check it. He did not want
his hat to speak his piece through.
He wanted to wear it to his hotel
for the banquet had lost its inter
est for him.
The affair has caused a good deal
more talk than his speech would
have done, but the Speaker does
not enjoy it.
Therefore he is to be greatly
pitied.

is an old saying, but ''moths hy
INTO the candle" is as old. Both
are true of men and nations as well
as of children and moths. We have
our moods-sometimes wise. some
times otherwise. Some days we
gladly learn from experience, on
others refuse its lessons. We must
Judge a man not by the passing
mood of an hour, but by the general
tenor and trend of his life. This is
true also of nations. Judge France
by it's John Law bubble of the last
century, and we might think the
nation made up of blind and crazy
fools, but look at France for hun
dred years and it has come up from
the Bourbons to the Republic, and
its people have made large gains.
In our country we see the same
varied moods well Illustrated in our
course in regard to Protection and
Free Trade. In 1887 we started
with Protection-a Constitution
empowering Congress to legislate
for it, an act of the First Congress
establishing it, the views and actions
OF the great men most beloved and
trusted upholding it. Prosperity
followed, but in few years came a
strange change of mood. The De
mocracy won power, and in 1916
customs duties were reduced. Then
came depression and distress, the
people saw their mistake and learned
lesson from it. In 1924 duties on
imports were made Protective and

said Henry Clay.

The Pension Report.

The average Mugwump is almost
as hostile to the pension policy of
the Republican party as to its pro-
lection policy. In certain circles
of society it is regarded as good
form to deprecate the enormous ex-
penditure of public money in pay
ment of pension claims as if it were
a species of fraud next thing to
Doodle. AS matter of fact there
is no expenditure so entirely free
from the element of burden and so
pre-eminently merltorous as that
Of the government in discharge of
pension obligation.
AS General Raum, Commissioner
Of Pensions, saws IN hls annual re-
port just Published, ''the condI-
tions to which military life in time
Of war subjected them must suggest
that the strain upon the life powers
OF the soldier was so great as to
make permanent inroads upon the
vital forces which would necessarily
result in the development of a mul-
ttude of ailments and disabilities
beyond the reach of medicine. "
Tins is thoroughly sensible and per-
fectly true. Tits a complete vindica-
tion or the Justice of the pension
disability act and deserves to be
profoundly pondered by every citi-
zen with a grain of patriotism and
hamane sesibihty in his compost
ton.
The report makes q comparison
between the records of the two ad.
ministrations, Cleveland's and Har-
rison's, which is both history and
prophecy. 1t not only sets forth
their relative records, but fore
shadows what may be expected dur
ing the next four years. The Com.
missioner of Pensions under Mr.
CleYeland's first administration was
General John q. Black, of New
York, a brave soldier and personally
the friend Of the Veterans. He has
been elected Congressman-at-larce.
and some one else will have to be
selected for the Commissionership.
The chances are that the new man
will be less friendly to the pension
ers than General Black was, vet his
record is contrast with the record
made the Office under Republican
rule. Here are the exact figures:
The total number of original Ger.
titicates issued from March 4, 1880
to Oct. 81, 1892, was $40, ,565, and

of Hartford county, which ever
Vince ITS organization in 1873 has
manifested a lively interest in road
Improvement, being assured of in
fluential cooperation, has issued a
call for a State Road Convention,
to be held on the 11th, 18th and
18th Of JAN, 1898, at III a. M, in
the Hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association Building,
corner of Charles and Saratoga
streets, Baltimore.
The chief object Of the conven-
tion is to organize a State Road
League, with branches in every
county, for the purpose Of increas-
ing the interest already awakened
in Maryland in behalf of good
roads and making such interest eff
fectiYely felt. The convention, it
is expected, will discuss the various
methods of making and mending
public roads in the several coun-
ties, but it may be assumed in adj
vance that no attempt Will be made
to uproot existing systems, but
rather to suggest Improvements
tending to make each system more
effective, so that the best results
may be obtained from the money
annually levied for road improve
ment. 1t is also hoped that some
plan may be suggested by the con
vention whereby State aid may be
given to the counties for the i'm
provement of their public roads.
Representatives of the various
agricultural societies, farmers
clubs, oranges, road leagues, rail
road and other transportation com
panies, the Baltimore city Board of
Trade, institutions of learning, the
MARYLAND Wheelmen's League, to-
gether with individuals interested,
directly or indirectly, in the i'm
provement of the public roads of
our State, have been invited to be
present. The club has received
satisfactory assurances that the
movement will meet with encodr-
agement.
Among the signatures to the call
are the following;
