PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The difference between the methods
and traditions Of the republican and the
democratic parties is being well illus
trated just now. The republicans are
very much worried and very anxious
about their candidate for the coming
campaign. They have half a dozen can
didates in the field already. They are
squabbling over Harrison and Blaine and
Alger and Cullom and Rusk and
Gresham. 1t is not a question of prin-
ciples with them. but merely of men.
But all the time they are pulling and
hauling for their numerous favorites
they know that the immense federal pat
ronage at Harrison's disposal has been
used to set up the pins for grandfather's
hat, and when the Minneapolis conven-
ton settles down to its p%erfunctory work
the little man under the hat will be
nominated with the widest enthusi-
asm."
On the other hand, the democratic
party is concerning itself not with men
but with measures. 1t will go the oun
try upon the great political issues it has
raised, and not as the blind following of a
partisan leader. While it can present a
splendid list of men from which to
select "A presidential candidate there is
no boom being worked up for any n of
them: nor is there need of any;the boom
will come after the nomination.
This is just the difference between the
republican and the democratic parties.
The republican party blindly worships
Its men. Principles are nothing. The
rank and file of the party blindly fol-
low the leaders. They care nothing for
the principles those leaders represent
nor where they will lead them. The
mass of the republican voters exist only
to exalt their leaders. When those
leaders fiddle the party must dance no
matter how weary Or cold or hungry they
may be.
On the other hand the democratic
party will have no prophet who is not a
servant and a mouthpiece. It's Moham-
NEEDS must come to the mountain every
time. The man who would be great
with democrats must first of all be a
servant of the ideas and principles which
they believe to be just aud right. If he
leads them it can only be by going in
the direction they have determined to
go. 1t has never been in the power of
any leader to turn democrats to the rear
by his personal influence. Democratic
servants must be servants and not die
tatOrs.

A trust that is buttressed on one flank
by "a protective tariff and on the other
by a patent right is very hard to dis
lodge. This has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the people of Mime
sofa. The legislature of that state
thought it would be IA good thing to set
the inmates of the state prison ut work
making binder Irvine for the farmers,
and made an appropriation for procuring
the necessary machinery. But it was
found that the Cordage trust owned the
patents Oh improved machinery, and
would not sell to the state without a
guarantee that the state would join in
the conspiracy to maintain trust prices
and sell its product within a prescribed
area. Here was an unexpected dilemma.
At last advices the sovereign state of
Minnesota had not gone into the Irvine
making business.

THE total production of American tin
up to date has been less than 10000
pounds. 1t has been produced from a
little mine owned by British capitalists
at Temescal, San Diego county. Cali
fornia. The same English capitalists
own the mines in Wales and last year
100000 was paid by American import
ers for Welsh tin. Eventually the farm
ers and w%orkingmen paid a good share
of that amount for tinware. These are
facts worthy of consideration by voters.
Is the tariff on tin such a blessing after

FOR FREE DELIVERY,

A letter has been received from the
first assistant postmaster general stating
that the application made by the city
council of Great Falls for the establish
ment Of the free delivery system in this
city, has been referred to the inspector
for this district, with instructions to take
immediate action thereon. 1t is proba-
BILE that the inspector will be here in a
few days to look the ground over. Upon
his report will depend the final result,
and it is therefore imperative that the
claims of Great Falls be laid before him
in the fullest possible manner. There is
no doubt that Great Falls is entitled to
a free delivery service. Neither is there
any doubt that it is needed.
Our postoffice is wholly inadequate to
the needs of the people. 1t is not large
enough. the force Of clerks IS not large
enough, and consequently they are not
able to handle the business of the office
as it should be handled. no matter how
hard they try-and no one doubts their
good will and faithfulness.
This being the casel the interests of
the business men of Great Falls demand
that they should take steps to receive the
inspector and lay before him the needs
and claims of the city for the free deliv-
cry service. This is a matter that should
receive the immediate attention of the
board of trade. Let there be a special
meeting called and a special committee
appointed to take the matter in hand.
There is no time to waste. If Great Falls
is to be given a free delivery service this
veal the lines must be laid now.

TIE p%roprietOrs of the Newcastle, Pa

TIE proprietors of the Newcastle, Pa,
iron and steel works announced a re-
ductlon of wages for all their workmen
last Tuesday. Yet the iron and steel
barons of Pennsylvania have, for years,
been the beneficiaries of the protective
tariff robbery. The basis of the Harri-
son campaign in 1888 was "higher wages
for American labor" and that will be
the shibboleth this fall. Where is the
American laborer who has had his wages
raised on account of the protective tariff:

TWO REMARKABLE CASES.

For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the man of law is peculiar. The
annals of the courts are full of strange
cases. Dog cases and calf cases are
common enough but the registrar of
wills in Philadelphia is just now bring
ing the mighty power of his legal brain
to bear upon a cat case-or rather "a kit
ten case. A maiden lady died leaving
$4,000 as a fund, the interest of which
was to be devoted to the support of her
horse. and another fund of $1,000, the
interest of which was to support her pet
cat. Under the will, after the death of
the horse and the cat, the sums thus set
aside were to revert to the human heirs.
A few days after the death of the tesla
tor the cat gave birth to five kittens and
three days later died. The question now
is whether the kittens inherit the money
left for the support of the cat. 1t is
purely a question of law with the
chances rather against the kittens.
A second and ludicrous edition of the
famous case of Jarndyce vs.. Jarndyce is
dragging its weary length along in Iowa.
1t is known as the Jones county calf
case. 1t was begun some twenty-five
years ago. and was determined in its last
phase about a year ago. 1t began over
Il e ownership of three worthless calves.
TO be sure they were eaten up as prime
beef years and years ago, but the case
went on just the same: 1t entered into
the social life, the religion and the poll
tics of the county. Most of the leading
lawyers of eastern Iowa took a shy at the
case in the course of time, Gov. Boies
being n of the latest of them. The
costs in the case foot up something over
$4,000 and the original litigants have
been bankrupted. The case has now
come up again to determine the DISPOSE
ton of the costs.

THE CORDAGE TRUST.

ITS BY COMBINATIONS.

turers-An Now I'm One-Large Diyi-
dcnds and 81, 900, 600 Surplus.
Hemp and its substitutes-manilla,
sisal grass and jute-constitute the ray
material of two important industries,
those of cordage and bagging manufac-
ture. The most important of these is
the cordage industry, which comprises
the production of all classes of ship and
other cordage, rope and binding Irvine.
1t is seldom that these products are
manufactured in separate establish
ments. Nearly all the materials used
are imported, and the establishments in
the industry are quite widely diversified
throughout the country. A scheme to
combine all these establishments into a
gigantic trust would have been coDsid-
cred impossible several years ago. Now,
however, after the people have become
accustomed to the sight Of trusts and
combines as u result of the tariff, its sue
cessful accomplishment excites little
comment.
The duties on the material and on
cordage ana Irvine are as follows:

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

There is going to be trouble one of
these days with the Sandwich Islands.
While the policy of our government is
strongly opposed to the annexation Of
new territory, yet men Of all parties will
admit the necessity of taking immediate
steps to protect our interests in those
islands. The one lesson to be drawn
from the Gillian squabble and the Behr-
ing sea controversy is that this country
has interests which need to be protected
by naval stations outside Of our present
limits. While we are not land grabbers
and do not wish to take any foreign ter
rltory. we do not wish to see any base of
naval operations which may be essential
to US seized by a foreign power and used
against us in case Of trouble. About the
best disposition To make of the Sandwich
Islands is to abolish the toy house mon
archy and annex them to the United
States. If some such step is not taken
To protect American interests the time is
not far distant when the British, the
Germans and the French will divide the
islands among themselves-or else the
British will take them all-which is
much more likely.

THE present statute regulating and
restricting Chinese immigration will ex-
pire in a month. This fact, taken in
connection with the bills now pending
for further and more rigid exclusion,
gives special interest to the subject. The
present Chinese population Of the coun
try is hard to ascertain, the census returns
being exceptionally unreliable on this
point. But it is safe to say the number
is decreasing rather than increasing.
The influx began in the year 1855, when
the number landing at the Golden gate
was 3,J2G. The greatest number coming
in any one year was in 1SS2-35,Gl4. The
year following the number fell to 3Sl.
The total number from 1865 to the close
of 1883 was 274.3O1. Since then the in
fux has been mainly clandestlne. 1t is
estimated that nearly one-half of the
total number of Chinese who have come
to this country have returned to their
native land, dead or alive.

THE United Presbyterian ministers in
session at Pittsburg have called upon all
Christian exhibitors and all religious
conventions t. boycott the Columbian
exposition unless the commissioners de-
eide to close its gates on Sunday. While
this action on the part of the ministers
is not at all surprising the spirit it
shows is anything but cOmmcndable. 1t
indicates an intolerance, a disregard of
the rights and wishes of other people
that is neither Christian nor charitable.
There are possibly 2j,000.00O people in
the United States associated with
churches. but of these it is safe to say
that at least one half will not indorsc the
position taken by some church organiza-
tions that the fair should be closed on
Sunday. In other words, there are at
least 50,OOO,OOO people in the United
States whose ideas regarding the Sun
day closing of the fair must give way to
the ideas of 100000. This does not
take account of the multitude of for
eigners who will attend the far and
whose ideas of Sabbath observance diff
fer materially from those of the United
Presbyterians. If these good people
have the right to expect that the fair
will be closed on Sunday in Difference to
their prejudices, tine Jews have the same
right to expect that it will be closed on
Saturday in Difference to their religious
views, and the Mohammedans will then
ask that it be closed on Friday.

In addition to the ~fOrty-five concerns
mentioned above, the trust claims the
control of four others, making a total of
forty-nine properties.
At the time of its organization, in 1887,
the trust announced as the object sought
by its formation an increase in the
profits to be derived from a lower cost
of materials by the removal of compe-
tition in the market and from the econ
omies to be derived from a decrease in
the cost of production. 1t was asserted
time and again that no attempt would
be made to raise the prices of its fin
ishcd products.
The claims were repeated at the time
of the reorganization as a corporation,
and finally in February last in the an
nnal report to the stockholders in the
following terms, Through these ad-
vantages secured by the control of many
mills and their management under one
direction. the company hopes to be en-
abled to secure an increased margin of

The wonder-worker is doing quite a
business in Freeland. He leaves on
Monday morning for Hazleton. He
opened here on Monday night to a
crowded house.
An old man named Mr.. Ptrouse, 16G
Second street, Drifton, was publicly
treated by Veno for rheumatism in the
shoulder. The old man was so bad that
he could not raise his left arm to his
head and has been unable to work for
seven weeks.
One physician had attended him, but
failed to give him any relief After
Veno treated him with his electric fluid
the old man was able to raise his arms
above his head without pain and with
perfect ease. This was done while the
audience waited to see the result.
The old man was interviewed yester-
day and seems to be all right now.
There can be no doubt about Veno's
cures. He possesses about 1000 remark
able testimonials, including large num-
ber of sworn declarations from we'll
known people in this neighborhood.
Veno is not faith healer or mag
netic healer. The cures are performed
by his liniment and medicine, and
everybody can cure themselves by fol-
lowing his instructions.
He came to America six months ago
and has had remarkable success. His
medicine is made from the Llandrindod
water, obtained in South Wales.
His liniment contains the elements of
positive and negative electricity, which
makes it entirely different from any
other liniment in the world. His
remedies are for the cure of nervousness,
dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney,
female weakness, rheumatism and
several other complaints, and can be
obtained at the Cottage hotel during this
week

Extraordinary Accident to Diver.

A diver named Jones, residing in Car
diff, was engaged yesterday in attempt
ing to raise the steamship Accrington,
which was beached at Penarth some
time since after being in collision. She
had several holes in her side, which had
been plugged while the vessel was
pumped out. Jones accidentally pushed
in one of these plugs with his right
hand, and the suction of the water be-
came so great that his arm was drawn
into the hole to the shoulder, and he
could not withdraw it.
A message was telegraphed TO Cardiff
docks for another diver. Nearly two
hours elapsed before he reached Penarth
with his diving apparatus, and in this
time Jones had become so exhausted
that he was found hanging by the ves-
sells side on his arm. When rescued,
which took some time, he was so ex-
hausted that he had to be lifted on board
the steamer.-St. James Gazette.
