tagonized by those with interests at
stake. he clearly endnciated four years
ago his advocacy Of tariff reform.
That bold and earnest declaration,
characteristic Of the man, Of the true
Democrat, who is the true American,
had to be heard. Its unmistakable
truth could not be deafened by any side
issue, no matter how important. lthas
become the keynote Of American poll
tics and, just SO surely, will be tri-
umphed in the seating Of Cleyeland and
Stevenson in the White House chair

Cleveland did not underestimate the
necessity for further enlightenment Of
the people, too busy with thesdisjoint-
ed daily cares to easily imbibe broad
views and principles. The campaign
which ensued demonstrated this truth
he had recognized.

RETALIATION.
Placing Tolls Upon Commerce Between
This Country and Canada.

Placing Tolls Upon Commerce Between
This Country and Canada.
The President has issued procla-
nation in reference to the Canadian
Canals. After reciting the history Of
the case, the proclamation concludes
thus:
WHEREAS, The Government of the
dominion Of Canada, b. system Of
rebate or otherwise, discriminates
against the citizens Of the United
States in the use of the Welland Canal
in violation Of the provisions of article
81 Of the treaty of Washington, con-
cluded May 6, 1871. Whereas, said
Welland Canal is connected with the
navigation Of the great lakes, and |
am satisfied that that passage through
it Of cargoes in transit to report of the
United States is made difficult and
burdensome by said discriminating
system Of rebate, otherwise, and is
reciprocally unjust and unreasonable.
Now, therefore, Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the power to
that end conferred upon me by said
act Of Congress, approved July 26, '92,
do hereby direct that from and after
September l, 1892, until further notice,
a toll of twenty cents per ton be levied,
collected and paid on all freight of
whatever kind or description passing
through st. Marys Falls Canal in tran
sit to any part Of the Dominion of
Canada, whether carried in the vessels
of the United States or of other ma
tons and to that extent do hereby
suspend, from and after said date, the
right Of free passage through st.
Marys Falls Canal any and all cargoes
or portions of cargoes,. in transit to
Canadian ports.
In testimony whereof, etc.,
BENJAMIN HARRISON,

TARIFF REFORM THE ISSUE.

The great issue in American politics
to-day, the issue vital to the welfare
and future glory of the republic, is
Tariff Reform. 1t is no abstract prin-
ciple of government, no theory of par
ty, but a grave and definite need that
comes home to the bosom of everyone.
The condition clearly foreseen by JEFF
ferson at the! inception Of federal
government, threatening 10 become
too paternal, has been reached. There
can be no installing. The sophisms
of the protection party have ceased to
delude even itself. The tariff is en-
riching the few and pauperizing the
many. 1t is the foe to general pros
perity.
No statesman in all the United States
to-day appreciates better than Grover
Cleveland the Ninsistent tariff reform
situation, the fact that it can nc
longer be lodged and that on its speedy
solution the commercial happiness and
the home life Of the nation depend

piece of oriental poetry. He said that
he mentally likened her Ito that
mountain of loadstone mentioned in
the Thousand and One Nights, which
drew the nails out of the sides of the
ships which passed that way, Even
so did the hearts of the Englishmen

bassador, who wrote of the queen
thus "One cannot but be struck
with the aspect of the august queen
of England, or fail to observe that
she must be of pure descent from a
race of goodly and warlike kings and
rulers of the earth, in that her eyes,
complexion and, above all, her bear.

1t was great event in the history of the
United States navy, and naval circles were
all alive with curiosity to learn who was
to be her commander The choice is made
and the man is Captain John w. Philip,
recently in command of the Atlanta.
His biography reads like sea tale out of
Fenimore Cooper. He was born in 1910 ut
Undertook, n. Y. was admitted TO the
naval academy in 1856 graduated in 1861
and entered at once into the most stirring
episodes of the civil war. Most Of his
service was on blockading vessels, and dur
ing the great naval attack on Fort Sumter
he was on the monitor Montauk He next
went to China as executive officer of the
Wachusett, and from 1869 till 1872 served
as executive on the Richmond, of the
European squadron. After two years in
the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company he returned to the navy, was
made captain in 1882 and in 1890 was put
in command of the Atlanta.
OF the forty-fve captains in the navy only
six have had more sea service than Captain
Philip, his record covering seventeen years
and nine months. When he left the At
lanta at Fortress Monroe to take charge OF
the New York he was rowed over To his
new vessel by n full crew of olticers--an
unprecedented compliment, hut none too
marked tor the commander OF the pride OF
the United States navy.

Cincinnati Messenger Boys Have Lots of
Scientific Fun with Rodents.

Scientific Fun with Rodents.
Hurry up and say whatch yer
want; l wanter get back to tn Office
an see der elect1icution. This was
the half shouted, half gasped excla-
nation OF tiny messenger boy the
other morning as he answered the
ring from restaurant, where a party
of sons of Belial were holding forth.
He was wanted to call hack, and
upon receiving his fee dashed out
into the rain. Followed to the Office
on Vine street fellow night hawk
intruded upon the company that had
gathered to witness the solemn event.
The long legged night clerk, stu
dent of applied electricity, was the
warden of the make believe peniten-
tlary where the legal murder was to
take place.
In due time. which was after
'Smittie' had returned after steer
ing the hackman, The condemned
criminals were brought out and the
live wires made ready. The doom
ed were two in number and We're
fine, well fed rats that had been en-
shared into an old rusty trap by
using u part of the midnight lunch as
bait Taking the two flexible wires
that ran from the dozen or more cells
of the battery, the eXecutioner began
his work without ceremony.
The minute the wires touched the
cage a bell set up an Internal ringing.
The amateur electrician was not
aware that his wires were short cir
cuited, and as he plunged the end of
one of them against the nearest
squeaking rodent he was somewhat
surprised to see the little pest make
a savage effort to bite the sharp
pointed CAD, making no pretense at
all toward keeling over and dying
This jabbing was kept up for some
moments with the same i'll success
so far as the staying of the rats was
concerned.
At last the warden tumbled. Wet.
ting the cage, he was careful to see
that the wires did not come into con
tact with the same strand on the
netting over it. Selecting the big.
gest of the doomed twain, he quickly
thrust the wire against its sleek coat.
A scream of tiny volume followed and
Sir Rat dropped on its side. The cur.
rent was kept on, causing it to shud.
der and twitch convulsively. When
it was removed the first victim was
dead The other, suspecting the
deadly nature of the wire, kept to
the opposite corner of the death cell
The ends of the Office scissors applied
suddenly from the rear made him
leap forward quickly, and before he
could jump back again the life de
stroying wire was upon him. Like
his i'll fate,G>omrade, he went down
in heap, kicked, twitched and at
last lay still.
The work of the executioner being
done he started to wrap up his wires,
and turning to the group remarked;
Say, No. 10, trow dem rats into
de barrel and fix de trap again We
might ketch another before day
light. "-Cincinnai Enquirer.
