A disastrous forest fire has been play
ing havoc with the timber on the high
mesas east of North Elk creek during
the entire week past and is still burn

of the fire, but it is supposed to have
originated in the usual way, namely,

BALANCING THE PARADOxEs.

No acrobat on tight rope ever
had more tickilish task before him
than have the champions Of McKin-
l"yism in balancing the paradoxes Of
Protection.
Their chief organ in this city is
busy in trying to prove:
l. That putting tax on an article
cheapena it to consumers.
9. That cheapening the product
enables the manufactures to increase
or to "maintain" wages.
3. That the cost OF food can be re-
duced to workingmen, while the far
mer gets higher prices for his prod
ucts on account OF tariff on food
Etutfs which constitute the main part
Of our exports.
4. That the foreigners really pay
the duty, though Mr.. Mckinley, in
the kindness Of his heart. taxes them
only sl8O,U00,OUO year towards the
expenses OF the Government.

Democrats who pride themselves on

the election of Mr.. Cleveland will be
interested, perhaps panied, by what
Senator German is quoted as saying to
Mr.. Cleveland.

Maryland senator rose to a height
which seems to have been above the
occasion and filed the proud bosom Of
the huntsman of Hog Island with the
raw materials of more pride. AS Mr..
Cleveland had won Tin spite of the
politicians" and since his triumph was
to be ascribed to no political manage
ment"-he is under no obligations"
To say this is to sing in a sad strain
to the noble army Of %expectants. To be
under no obligations to politicians is to
be in a position to say to politicians.
"Ayaunt, and quit my sight!"

themselves a set of chumps and their
