WHAT Is TRIIEg

1t has been the favorite cry of the free
the protective tariff on wool did not and
does not protect; that sheep in this
country are raised for mutton only that
the price of wool was fixed in London ;
that to remove the duties on wool would
benefit instead of injuring the farmer,
because such removal of duties would
manufacturers and the demand for
American woods TO mix with foreign
freely admitted woods would be greatly
in excess of the present demand made
by our "throttled" industries. With
free wool the revenue tariff Democrat
has drawn rosy pictures of the farmers
prosperity and has devoted pages, col
umns and volumncs to statistics to prove
his theory.
The theory was beautiful. In fact, de-
sCribed in the turgid eloquence Of the
ex-sherif of Buffalo it almost ceased to
be theory and became very nearly n
condition. Under the leadership of this
Pied Piper of Cohasset all the Democra-
tic leaders were convinced that free wool
was proper but when the good people
came TO listen TO his music they an
nounced that four years of that was
enough. The good people who had
experience under protection could not
be persuaded that the glowing descrip-
tions of Grover Cleveland were truthful
and worthy of commentator.
But the theory that protective tariff
doesn't protect wool lived on long after
Grover Cleveland ceased to bc condi-
ton and became merely tradition. For
three years it hovered over the Demo
cratic camp OF recruits for ~ anxiously
awaiting for some one TO father it again,
and no one seemed TO care TO assume
that parental attitude.
Recently, however. Congressman
Springer assumed the leadership Of the
Democracy at Washington, and hc be-
came convinced that the theory that
protection didn't protect wool was not u
working theory, AMI that it wiN neces.

MILLS DECLARES WAR.

If the Republican minority i'll the
House will be unable to influence legis-
lation to any considerable extent this
winter. it will mt any rate enjoy most
diverting season. Bland declared war
upon Springer on Wednesday and OF
Thursday Crisp received the open fire of
the batteries of Mr. Mills. From now
until the mercury runs pretty well up
into the nineties the guerrilla fights of The
warning factions will keep the lines hot
and secure peace prosperity and amuse-
ment TO the otherwise harried Repubh-
cans, who will find in the quarrels of
their political enemies grand spectacu-
lar show.
Mills resigned his chairmanship; this
was petulance. Mills said he didn't
think it necessary to inform the Speaker
of his action" This was discourtesy.
Mills told his friends that she might very
probably have occasion in the course OF
the session to oppose the conduct ana
policy of legislation and he would feel q
delicacy in doing so if he were chair
man IF committee; this was an an
nouncement of hostilities.
Mills is not good fighter because he
has no control over his temper, but in
spite of this defect he will probably sue
ceed in making the winter interesting
Mills has grievance, so has Bland !;
free trade and free silver are both dis
gruntled. The Democracy is tickle in
its worship of its idols, Free silver is
revenging itself, Free trade may be
equally successful. Mr.. Bland is going
to triumph the outlook is not at the
moment so bright for Mr.. Mills.

Christine Nilsson's marriage TO the un-
attractive Count Casa Miranda is said TO
have been mainly for the sake of avoiding
separation from his daughter. For the
count. besides being ill-fayored, has no
fortune of his own. and IL is the song

to maintain IFS rank in Madrilene and

daughter away from her unless she con-

The scheme OF the buoyant Springer
looked attractive, but difficulties are de
veloping. "If the revenues of the gov
ernment are not now enough for ordi-
nary expenditures, says this nameless
wise man, individual additions TO the
free list will make matters worse by just
so much as the duties removed are now
producing" That, is, duties cannot be
taken off, Democratic leaders are cred
tied with discovering, without providing
"other means of money raising, say by re-
storing the duties on sugar, and, proceeds
the prophet, general revision may have
to be undertaken "in the face of the GER
tainty that any bills passed by the House
will be defeated in the Senate" In other
words, the Democrats have run against a
stump early in their tariff cogitations,
and are celebrating with themselves
how best to bluster without doing any
thing.

JUSTICE BRADLEY.

Justice Bradley, whose death was an
nounced yesterday morning, will always
be conspicuous in history as the man
who gave the decisive vote for Haye
for President in the electoral commission
of 1867. The storm that then ragged
about his head was so violent as to cal
for no common strength to stand against
il, but Justice Bradley bore himself
with dignity, serene in conscious
rectitude.
No lawyer Of such erudition has sat
upon the bench of the Supreme Court III
recent years. His fund of legal knowl-
edge was unequalled, more especially IL
the domain of common law. His, de-
cisions We're distinguished for clearness
of thought and expression, and the
analytical turn of his mind made him
one of the best mathematicians of the
present day. In questions between the
States and the general government he
leaned rather TO the extension OF the
power of the latter, as instanced in the
slaughter House" cases among his
early decisions, and more recently in the
Grand Trunk Railway case in Maine.
In his death the Supreme Court loses the
most widely read and broadly cultured
of its members.

visions of an old statute she is barred
from marriage for five years sis adding
blacker gloom to her already dismal sur
roundings." with the accompanying sug-
yestion that as some sort Of recompense
TO her for her disappointment the Queen
may raise her to the rank of "Royal
Highness", is adding insult to injury.
If the arrangement between the young
couple was on a par with most royal be-
trothals the Princess Mays disappoint-
ment may indeed be bitter, but is hardly
worth world wide consideration; if on
.he other hand she is sincerely mourning
her young lover, the alleged fact that
she can't marry anybody else just yet is
not probably giving her at the moment
much vexation.
