WHY HE IS A PROTECTIONIST.

Correspondence of The Capital.
I was born and raised democrat, un-
til I was twenty-one the talk among my
associates was free trade and sailors
rights. Ny father was much surprised
when he learned my first vote was for
the whig candidate. He wanted to
know why I had done 80. My reply
was, that I believed in the inherent
right of self-protection, both for man
and government. NV observation and
experience both, in this and foreign
countries, for past forty-seven years that
I have been q voter, assures me that
''free trade" policy for America inures
only TO the benefit of those abroad. All
foreign nations know this, hence oppose
the Mckinley bill. Only by protection
are we enabled to pay the highest price
for labor and sell the lowest to working
men.
This condition makes the United
States conspicuously prosperous. Make
them pay duty while we pay taxes.
Thrift follows the enactment Of wise
laws. I am protectionist because I
love my own country better than I do
foreign countries. Protection builds up
our towns into cities and enhances the
value of our homes and lands.
Because every dollar sent abroad to
purchase goods that we can produce at
home makes us dollar poorer.
Because protection in this country
gives labor better wages than free trade.
Because it is better for this country
to feed, clothe and house our own labor
in this country than to support foreign
labor in other countries with our money.
Because it is true no goods purchased
abroad are cheap that takes the place Of
our own labor and our own raw material,
the average reduction on fifty six articles
in common use by farmers, laborers, and
all (including tinware,) which free
traders have made such howl over, is
about Is per cent since the passage OF
the Mckinley bill.

DOES TARIFF FOSTER TRUSTS
AND MONOPOLlES?

From the American Economist.
1t does not. The tendency of the
age is for men to combine where they
see profit. The Standard Oil trust is a
gigantic aggregation of capital Yet
what has that to do with tariff? The
Western Union Telegraph monopoly, the
insurance combination, the trust lately
formed by the express companies how
are they influenced by protection? The
tariff, far from creating the conditions
favorable to the organization Of trusts,
has been the means by which many Of
them have been destroyed, and this viii
be clearer when we consider the circum-
stances under which It i most iksly

INCREASED REPUBLICAN MAJOR
TIES.

Rochester, N. Y.-Assemblyman Rich
ard Curran, republican, defeated William
Carroll, democrat, the present incum-
bent, for mayor by 1896 majority. The
whole republican ticket is elected by
even larger majorities. The republicans
gain an alderman and several council
men, thus electing fifteen republican al
dermen, making thirty republican MEM
bers. The last board of aldermen had
eleven republicans and five democrats,
and there we're twenty three republicans
and thirteen democrats on the last
board of supervisors. The republicans
gained four supervisors in Genesee.

A VERY srE ANGE CASE.

There was recently born in Topeka, Kan
sas, male child with most singular and
rare malformatlon. Assertion of somewhere
between five and ten inches of the lower end
of the colon was entirely missing. Nature
seems to have forgotten, for once, the fact
that an outlet is as much necessity to tho
alimentary canal as an inlet. The child seems
perfectly formed in every o,her particular,
but the pelvic space which should contain tho
rectum and anus is filled with healthy
growth of perfectly solid tissue, as solid as
that of the thigh.
How to overcome the difficulty and save
the child's life was the problem. All other
functions seemed natural. DR.. Henry w.
Roby, the foremost surgeon of the state, was
called in, and after careful study Of the
case decided to undertake to do for Tho child
what Nature had forgotten. He Csened up
the solid tissues where the rectum ought to
be, and found both the external and Internal
sphincter muscles just where they ought to
be. Then he pursued his dissection on and
on up into the pelvic cavity to q distance of
about seven inches, reaching almost to the
region of the Kidneys; but after the most
careful and minute search no trace of the
missing rectum could be found. Finally the
search IN that direction was given up and
what is known as colotomy was performed.
That consisted IN making an external open
ing in the groin down to the colon, where
section of the large intestine was brought IN
to the opening IN the abdominal wall and -
cured there by stitches; then the bowel Wa
opened in such q way that it could discharge
its contents externally. The bowels moved
almost Immediately. The colon Wis washed
and expl0red and found to pass almost di-
rectly acroos the body and terminate IN =
pouch or blind END, like q pocket, 1t the left
groin. The wounds healed up very promptly.
no fever FOLLOWED, and the child took ND tke
activities Of life, such a. eating, drinking and
sleeping almost from the start, and Is already
subgtantially recovered from the operation.

A Wild limo at YesteI d,y's 4. NJ. e. Zion


A Wild Time at Yeste,d,y's 4. n. E. Zion
Conferr nee.
There was a wild time at Yesterdays
afternoon session of the A. NJ. E. Zion con-
ference, the Bishops and delegates forgetting
their ministerial dignity. The excitement
arose upon the presentation of resolution
which provided that the terms of Office of
those elected to positions should expire 80
days after the close of the Conference. The
Bishops and general officers bitterly opposed
the resolution and wanted it declared out of
order upon the ground that the appoint
ments were made by the Bishops, and, in
consequence of this, that the Conference had
no right to remove the officers until the
expiration of their terms. Amid the widest
confusion the resolution was adopted by
large majority. Bishop Hood raised an
objection to the effect that no action could
be taken, as there was not a quorum of
delegates present, the constitution calling
for the vote being one-half of the delegates
elected. The matter was adjusted by the
adoption of a motion making quorum one
half of the delegates reporting, and the
resolution was allowed to stand.
1t was decided to hold the Conference of
1896 in Mobile, Ala, and as the centennial
anniversary falls upon that year there will
be grand celebration in Mobile and also in
New York City.
The Committee on Temperance presented
a resolution favoring the abolishment of the
liquor traffic, which was unanimously

Serious Obstacles in the Way Of Edward
Oakes and Emma Miller, the EIopers
From the DIR. JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde Com
pany.
The CDR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" elopers,
Treasurer Edward A. Oakes and Emma
Miller, have already met an obstruction in
their dual life current that may cause
separation. Last Friday the handsome
treasurer of the company which was play
ing at Harris Theater divided the proceeds
from the house receipts with Manager
Starr, and before he had an opportunity of
delivering over the Ss6, which was the
ment would be interesting so he with the
fascinating Emma Miller evacuated the
premises, as it were, and hied away west
ward.
Last night the correspondent OF The
DISPATCH in Detroit sent the following
message by wire. Some things explain
themselves. This is one of them:
At $3.50 o'clock this morning stylfshly
dressed, middlc-aged woman stepped into
the detectives office ut police headquarters
and announced that sne was from Philadel-
phia and the mother of Emma Miller, who
had eloped from Pittsburg two weeks ago
with Edward A. Oakes, manager OF DR.:
oChyl IL anu I1fuc company. 10 10
years old and a soubrette in Oalxes' company.
While a performance was in progress at
Pittsburg. Oakes is said to have pocketed $S4
Of the box office receipts, and, with Miss
Miller, fled to Albany, n. T., and after
short sojourn in that city, proceeded to
Detroit and put up at the Hotel Normandie.
They remained here only one night, having
registered as man and wife, and then crossed
the river to Windsor. Mrs. Miller had two
detectives assigned to the case, and by
clever bit of strategy decoyed the unsus-
pecting lovers across the river to Detroit. AS
they stepped off the ferry boat the mother
rusned forward and clasped her daughter
fervently. A sad scene followed during
which the girl claimed that she was not mar
ried to OaKes. The detective snapped pair
of handouts ON the latter's wrists and
walked him to the Central. The daughter
and hcr mother soon followed. After a long
discussion their past grievances were AMIGA
bly, adjusted, and the two will leave for their
home this evening. The PittsDurg authori-
ties were notified of Cakes capture, and an
officer will shortly arrtvs to take him back.
He claims that he is married to Miss Miller.
Superintendent O'Mara sent to Harris
burg last night for requisition papers for
Oakes charging him with embezzlement, and
as soon as they arrive Detective McTighc
will proceed to Detroit for the festive Eddy.

mercs Reception and Dinner.
The arrangements for the first banquet

are about completed. The dinner will be
served in the large reception hall of the
clubhouse on the second floor, and covers
will be laid for 1SO guests. 1t will be es-
sentially Pittsburg business mems dinner,
with Pittsburg toasts and Pittsburg toast
makers The list of speakers embraces
some of the leading men of the city in the
various branches of commerce, and it Is e1-
pected that the people will learn some
things about their city that are not thought
of now.
This is the first attempt of the kind ever
made by the Chamber, and the Committee
of Arrangements have been walking in new
territory. The difficulties, however, have
been smoothed away, and there is no doubt
that the dinner will be one of the most sue
cessful public affairs ever given in the city;
It's chief object is to arouse more general
interest among the business men in the
Chamber and its work, aud, in measure,
this aim has been partly accomplished be-
fore the dinner is served.

TALKING FOR HARRISON.

Colonel Conger Sees Nothing to Prevent the
denomination of the President-AIser
Will Have a Good Fighting Chance
After the First Ballot.
"Everything looks propitious for the NOM
ination of President Harrison at the Re-
publican National Convention" were the
words of Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron,
O., of the Republican National Executive
Committee, who passed through on the fast
line for the East last night. Colone
Conger was in company with e1-Congress-
man Allen, of Ypsilanti, Mich, who is also
en- route to the East.
Continuing, Colonel Couger said: ''The
delegates will attempt to nominate Har-
rison upon the first ballot, and in case this
fails AlCer will stand good chance for first
place. 1 am loyal to Blaine and am also
desirous of seeing his name come up at the
convention, but l do not think it will, as
his letter, in which he refuses to become
candidate, Is bona fide and we'll meant. L
believe Alger would be content with
second place on the ticket with Blaine
at the head, as he is most
enthusiastic supporter of the man from
Maine. If General Alger becomes the IA
vorite he will receive the heartiest sup
port from every Grand Army man in the
country" Upon the Democratic outlook
in Ohio Colonel Conger said until short
time ago the feeling was with Cleveland,
but now the chances are that Senator Cal
Brice stands the best show for nomination,
and if he receives it Ohio Republicans will
have a hard time to come out ahead.
Ex-Congressman Allen said Republican
affairs in Michigan were Harrisonian
throughout the entire State. eff Harrison
is not nominated on the first ballot" con-
tinued Mr.. Allen, General Alger will
have good chance for the nomination.
Michigan is solid tor Alger and will make
the strongest efforts to give him the place,
and after the first ballot the delegates will
WORK hard for Alger's nomination.
Both gentlemen declared the anti-Harri-
son talk at present being INDUCED in is
without foundation.

A mother Natural Gas Well at EIIwood City,

A second natural gas well was struck last
night at Ellwood City. 1t is about half a
mile southeast of the first one and within
300 yards in the rear of the Hotel Oliver.
The location is one which experts have de-
alared from the first was more in the center
of this gas field, being in fact on the crest
OF the anti-clinal range. The result justi-
fes their opinions as the new well greatly
exceeds the first in pressure-just how
much is not now known as the pressure
exceeds the capacity of the test gauge.
