CarIlsless Views.

Frank G. Carpenter has given to the press an interesting interview with Senator John G. Carlisle of Kentucky. It discusses chiefly the silver and tar if questions. It bears the imprint of careful preparation. aud, as it was re- vised in the manuscript by the senator himself it is a valuable contribution to the discussion of two important economic questions which designing politicians have attempted to link to- gether, although they are in no wise related. and are not dependent one upon the other Mir. Carlisle advises the Democratic party against taking up the silver question for considera- tion at this time. and if it enters the campaign in any form it should be secondary to the tariff, which he thinks is the ouly important question before the country and should be made the principal issue. The Democratic party. Mir. Carlisle says, should cer- tainly not put free coinage plank in the platform. He doubts very much whether the party has anything to gain from the silver states They are nominally Republican and will vote the Republican ticket in any event
 Mr. Carlisle believes that every dol- lar in circulation among the masses should be as good as any dollar that circulates in financial circles or forms the basis of our trade. domestic or in- ternational, and that the only solution of the silver problem is through a monetary conference of the principal commercial nations to fix an interna- tional ratio. 1t is the working classes that should the most dread any more tinkering with the currency by silver legislation They have more at stake than the capitalists. The capitalist is able to protect himself when the changes in currency occur. or are about to occur; because he can, in an- ticipation of such changes convert his money at any time into the most valu- able kind of currency and hoard it in order to realize the premium while the working classes have nothing to hoard and are compelled to receive in pay ment for their labor and its products just such money as the law makes legal tender, whatever it may be- Kansas City Star.

StIIl More Free Trade.

The state department has recently concluded a free trade treaty with Hawaii and now 1t is proposed to make 8 similar treaty with Canada The chief advocate Of this extension of the area of free trade is the Chicago Trib- une In recent article it says:
 '.The great mass of the Republi- cans are in favor of unlimited reel procity with Canada; reciprocity as free as that between the states of the union. The Democrats are not The Republicans are well aware that the Dominion is but the northern exten- sion of the United States; that the bulk of its products find their natural market in this country, and that it's supplies should chiefly come from the United States. Hence they are ready at any moment to pull down every bar rier on the Canadian frontier if Cana da will do the same thing"
 Reciprocity as free as that between the states of the union. is absolute free trade. and the abolition of all custom houses between Canada and the United States
 Canada is now a very highly pro tected nation. Protected alike against the pauper labor of Great Britain and the pauper labor of the United State.
 It is a young country with a number of infant industries still cry ing for the bottle Free trade with the United States means the ruin of these industries, unless protection is founded on lie.
 Perhaps the Chicago Tribune inn agiDes that after the adoption of free trade treaty with the United States Canada will still maintain it's protec- tive duties on articles imported from Great Britain. This would certainly be extremely advantageous to the American manufacturer s2e would manifest on the part of the Canadians wonderful power of self-sacrifice. What compensation VIC could offer

Removing Balls of Earth.

There are serious objections to r.. moving balls of earth on the roots ss trees when transplanted. among vhieA is the necessity of cutting the roots too short in order to obtain a ball not too large to be carried. When the roots are carefully laid bare the de nuding may be extended to . greste, distance from the foot of the trunk and giving especially a frmer brsc. ing of the tree against the wind. The longer roots furnish a better supply oi food to the tree. But there are con ditions in which there are special advsu. tages in conveying the ball or cake Of earth on the roots Evergreena ol larger size than nursery trees, may often be most safely and conviently removed in winter and always with greater safety than at other timsa The same advantage exists with ths winter removal of some deciduous trees Wherever such transplantins is intended in a coming winter. ths work may be prepared before tho ground becomes frozen solid. Allow as large a circle of earth as can b used by making some allowance ior easy conveyance on snow. and cut . smooth circular trench foot deep ell around the tree. Fill this trench with straw. chaff or other substance to pro vent the outer ring of soil from freez- ing down too deep. and let the trse remain in this condition till mid-win- ter. It may then be removed on sled. stone-boat or other convenient carrier. to it's intended position. an ex- cavation of suitable size having been made before freezing. When the tree and ball weigh two or three hundred pounds the loosening may be effected by hitching team to the upper psrs and drawing partly over. The team may then draw the tree in an erect position up a sloping bridge of plank on the sled. and to it's destination Trees four or five inches in diameter have often been thus removed with safety in the depth of winter -Coun. try Gentleman.

TRAIN robberies must be stopped and there is one perfectly practicable way of doing it The first requisite is 8 man on the train who will shoot The second is sawed-off shotgun. loaded with buckshot for him to shoot with It was supposed for a long time that these robberies could occur only in out-of-the-way places on the border. The East held that view until trains were robbed in Maine and New York The secret of all this is the discovery made by the criminal classes that it is safer to rob train than to commit a burglary. There are at least five chances in ten that the man who breaks into house will be shot at The history of train robberies thus far shows that the robbers are seldom or never shot at because the average passenger would rather lose a dollar or 30 than begin the shooting In which. from his standpoint he is very right But something must be done about 1t and as 1t is impossible tor the state to have sheriff or po- hcsmen in every coach the companies will have to do what every citizen Ii expected to do in taking care of him. seN until the law can bs invoked aeainst the lawbreaksr.

Texas sIftings |. for Russell.

Murat Halstead has escaped from his journalistic tomb in Brooklyn and gone to Rome, where he has been in- terviewed by the ubiquitous Herald reporter. He says that Blaine will be the next Republican candidate for the presidency. with Senator Sher- man or Major Mckinley for vice pres ident Also that Governor Flower will be the Democratic candidate, with Gray of Indiana or Boies of Iowa on the ticket. He believes that Cleveland and Hill. like the Kilkenny cats, have destroyed each other. The opinions of Mir. Halstead were net of much consequence while he was in this country, and they do not acquire additional importance because he has gone to Rome where only the pope in council is infallible. What he says proves that he has been a student of Texas Siftings but rather an inatten- tive student; for he entirely ignores Governor Russell of Massachusetts, who ran Is, 0O0 votes ahead of his ticket and is by far the most brilliant candidate that the Democratic party possesses. He declares in fiat contra diction to the Herald, that there is no chance of western man getting the nomination; the Democrats haven't man big enough" This is hard upon Holman. Gray and Boies. But what does such an open enemy as Mir Halstead know about the Demo crats? He is only one of the many straws that are now blowing for Blaine. Texas Siftings.

IT is certainly fact that some men do .1ive ahead of their times' as that others do live behind them. In the nineteenth century. A D.. there are great masses of men who belong in- tellectually and morally to the nine tsenth century before the Christian era To avoid question as to the fact let us locate them outside of our own country, and in the heart of Africa and we can better see that the indi- vidual intellect is able to transcend time in its development so that 1t is possible 10 conceive the existence of a man many centuriel ago living his in . tellectual and moral life far beyond the intellectual and moral stage pre- vailiug then. or even now. in the average for the world. Such men have existed in almost every century known to human history. and primitively they were called prophets foretellers. sooth- savers. truthtellers. seers.

DEMOCRATIC MATTERS.
THE RACE ISSUE.
The Republican Party to Fight It Out
 On That Line.

 Tn. Republican Party to Fight It Out
 On That Line.
 MT. J. s. Ciarkson's announcement that the Republican party will make the negro the issue next fall is inter esting and important for many reasons, and it will be well to consider it now. when it can be considered in the same cold blood in which Mir. Clarkson an- nounces it as the issue. It is needless to say that the Republican managers are utterly regardless of the negro's interest They play the issue as gambler does his cards. and this card they have held for their last trump. says the St Louis Republic. As long as the census shows a negro majority in Louisiana Mississippi and South Carolina they claim these states as Republican. and assert that whenever the Republican vote of these states falls below the census returns of male negroes over twenty-one years Of age, the Republican party is suppressed by fraud and intimidation. which affects the vote on party measures in con- gress as we'll as the vote of the elec- toral college. This was the argument on which they based the Force bill but it's passage would have settled nothing from their standpoint as they claim that the electoral college as well as congress is involved.
 Making these claims Messrs. Quay. Clarkson and Dudley say in effect to the Democrats. If you interfere with our pluGocrats in their control of ex- change; if you do not consent to let them have any sort of tariff system and money system they please. we will put the negroes on top in Louis- iana South Carolina and Arkansas and will use all the bayonets necessary for that purpose. As soon as you get into a position where your talk against trade monopoly and money monopoly will mean something, we wilt make our negro talk mean something"
 It is thus that the attempt is made to coerce all the Southern states through their sympathy with Louisi- ana Mississippi and South Carolina and this attempt has been assisted from inside the Democratic party by men who are either plutocrats themselves or agents for the plutocracy While ostensibly defending the South against force bills; while vehemently denounc- ing negro supremacy. these men are secretly holding back the tariff issue and assisting in the attempt to thrust race issue in front of it Ciarkson and Quay are much nearer to being friends of the South" than such champions
 As the head of the national Repub- lican organization. Mir. Clarkson might claim authority to speak for it in this matter but really he has none, for it will be governed by its impulses, controlled more or less by circum- stances. Its impulse is to force the race issue. but the chances of gener- al realignment of parties on it have already become plain. and the Repub- lican leaders are unable to see how their party would come out of it Nevertheless, their best practical poli- ticians are inclined to believe with Mir. Clarkson that the plutoracy has no hope of preventing the reforms it dreads except in forcing the race is- sue into the national campaign.
