The tariff debate IN congress, ~ Was
evidently intended. has settled into the
,roove Of campaign literature. No
democrat dares to or can lift the debate
ous of the rut. They attack the prsc-
heal workings of the bill, the manifold
privileges it secures TO all classes alike
from this narrowed view with inuendo
and sophistry. A general attack or =
hand-.o-hand encounter, where fact
replaces fallacy. argument sophistry
will be avoided by the democrats.
They know the prosperity it induces,
the industries 1t fosters, and the wages
1t insures to American workingmen.
Judge Chapman knew when delivering
bis rhetorical pyrotechnics. that no
such condition Of abject declaring
poverty exists in this country ~ OBJ
tains IN free-trade England. Demo-
Gratis throughout the United States,
and this includes Judge Chapman, know
that the sub-treasury scheme, govern
ment ownership OF canals, railroads

augment the civil service list BY 90

place IN the hands Of the few the very

be . step towards socialism and would

in advance OF any organizations III the

dition throughout the state, and in
creasing in membership right along.
The membership now numbers 5000,
and the treasury contains a
surplus of $4,000. We have
three grades OF insurance, comprising
policies for $1,000, $1,000 and $4,000.

be equipped in the best style. aud will
be without doubt one OF the best in the

example. The state membership in
creased 504 during that month. The
uniform rank Of Saginaw is in excellent
working order. and is in a high state of
efficiency. The high court will send
the Saginaw rank TO Chicago to the
Worlds FAIR. and will provide for its
expenses for one week. The next
meeting OF the high court will be held
in Saginaw during the last week

Probably no speech delivered during
the past few years was 50 eagerly looked
for, or will be so widely commented on,
as the speech delivered before the Mis-
sissippi legislature by David b. Hill. In
Il be attempts to define his views aud
tho embodiment OF those principles
upon which the follower, OF the Hill
faction of the democratic party will
construct their platform, and was with
out doubt prepared as masterpiece.
While it was . scholarly effort. written
in Mr.. Hills best style, on due reiiec-
ton. and with .aborlous effort, 1t fails
to and will fail to express the deep con-
uctions Of an earnest purpose. Indeed
it will fail to awaken that degree Of en-
thusiasn which was 90 evidently antici-
psted. This in part may be- accounted
for by the ambiguity and doubtful
meaning of many OF his sentences. For
instance:
"The government structures and
social adaptations of any group OF men
as civilized as We must vary with loca-
tim on the earth's surface TO secure
that end and aim, progressive individ-
ual freedom in .tfe pursuit OF happiness
Government help too often entails gov
eminent compulsion and implies a
lover stage OF growth or less felicity Of
circumstances than ours"
Only when Mr.. Hill gets into the
ordinary stump speech rant of dsmoc-
racy does he appear At his best. No.
where does no rise to q higher elo-
quence. Nowhere does he clearly and
logically attack or arraign. Rather
does he subvert the speakers privilege
and lower the dignitied stand
ard OF the orator by the use OF such
words and phrases as "propinquity."
"for two years our country was once
beyond the peoples amendment or
appeal" "cut purses of the empire aud
the rule" reciprocity humbug," repub-
lican revolutionists over q cruclfied
constitution" billion dollar congress-"
inhibition" etc. In this he follows in
the footsteps Of s. j. Tilden's "usu-
fruct" aud Grover Cleveland s "innocu-
Gus desuetude." To assert the princi,
pies of past age and declare his ad.
herence 20 them, is no definition of the
questions of today. Past issues brought
their own remedies; were treated by
the statesmen OF that day, and are
either cured or dead. To dilate upon
them, except as an experience gained
a precedent set, Is to acknowledge the
weakness of the issue espoused. 1t is
more than questionable if Mr.. Hill will
III his junketing tour win to himself ol
his faction larger following than he
had before setting out

KANSAS, PROSPERITY.

Something of the abundance of the
harvest enjoyed by the Kansans during
last year, may he seen by the report Of
the Kansas board OF agriculture, which
says that the available surplus OF the
states products Was something over
$io0,ooo, 900. This surplus Is made up
of the products that the farmers have
for sale, after reserving enough for
seeding purposes, and providing food
for themselves, their families, aud their
live stock. One hundred million dol.
lars sounds like a very large amount
aud q superficial view of the condition
would lead one TO think that it would
more than make up for all failures of
the crops of the past, and q few Of
those of the future. But there are !, =
100000 inhabitants of Kansas. One
hundred million dollars divided among
1000 people would give about S72
10 each. That can hardly be called a
princely sum. when it is remembered
that 1t must pay for clothing, groceries,
machinery, books, amusements, doc
Eor's bills, taxes, insurance, interest.
