Only 7 Cents Yard in England, 40 Cents &

[From the New York Evening Post ]

fitting out her children with clothing for the
summer, writes to us, saying:
"Will you kindly assist me in harmonizing
MI. McKinley's Minneapolis speech with a
paragraph in recent number OF the Sunday
Tribune? Mr.. Mckinley said: 'We stand for
protective tariff because it represents the
American home, the American 1reside, the
American family, the American girl, the
American boy, and the highest possibilities
Of American citizenship. The Democratic
party believe in direct taxation, that is, in
taxing ourselves, but we do not believe in that
principle so long as we can find anybody else
to tax In the Home and Society depart
ment of the Sunday Tribune of May 30 read:
Another favorte material this year is Gala
tea, which is of the ticking order of goods,
but is very light and servicable 1t comes in
all colors, and can be easily 1aundered. The
material IS 40 cents yard on THIS sSae ct the
atlantic, and only Z cents IN England What
s.said by the Tribune of this Galatea cloth is
true 1t is a most desirable article of goods
for children's clothing. There is an American
imitation whichis somewhat cheaper, but
which is flimsy and worthless. Now, would
like to have you explain to me how it is that
the tax of So cents yard, which have to pay
on every yard of this English cloth which I
buy for my children, comes out of the for
eigner's pOcket?'
The question IS beyond our ability to ans

that this true-hearted letter of Grover
Cleveland is just the letter he would hav,
written himself
GRAY GABLES, BUZZARD's BAY, MASS,
July 6. 1892.
Mrs. Mary Frost Ornas1y-My Dear Madam
Mrs. Cleveland has referred to me your lettel
informing her of the organization of ''Fran
ces Cleveland Influence Club
1t is by no means pleasant to dissent from
the methods which sincere friends adopt whe1
their efforts not only demonstrate their friend
illness, but when they also seek to subservt
the public good and are, therefore, engaged
in patriotic service.
1t is, however, impossible for us to approve
of the use of Mrs. Cleveland's name in thu
designation of clubs designed to do political
work.
We trust you will not undervalue our objec
tiOn because it rests upon the sentiment thai
the name now sacred in the home circle as
wife and mother may we'll be spared in the
organization and operation of clubs created
to exert political influence.
Yours very truly,

Married Nine Times.
A MINISTER'S WIFE TIRES AND ASKS A
DIVORCE
rFrom the Providence, r. 1. Journal. !


[From the Providence, r. !. Journal.l
The divorce court records here will very
soon be enriched by the entry of very pecu-
liar petition from Mis-. Sadie Crandall, the
wife of Rev. Walter Crandall, a Michigan
minister. Mrs Crandall is 80 years of age
She has been married nine times within the
period of eight years, the Western man being
her first and also her ninth husband. He is
also her second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth husband, all her maria
ges having been SolemniZed with the same
bridegroom. According to the statement Of
the fair petitioner the Rev Mr.. Crandall is q
marriage maniac, that is, he is ever seeking
to be married, never insisting on new bride.
but being perfectly content with Mrs. Gran
dali in that role.
Owing to this matrimonial mania, Mrs.
CrandaIl says that her married life has been
one long and narrowing honeymoon.
This remarkable couple were first married
in the town of lansing Mich, and according
to the forms of the Methodist church. The
Old World was selected for honeymoon
tour, and, while in Dublin, the clergyman
told his bride he thought their marriage was
not enthusiastically perfect, because the par
son who united them had not been ordained
by the apostolic imposition OF hands. He
held that this was absolutely necessary, and
he made arrangements for another marriage
in St. Patrick Cathedral in Dublin.
Mrs. CrandalI considered her husband over
scrupulous, but she assented to the second
ceremony and there was another marriage.
Mr.. Crandall then learned that st. Patrick S
had once been Catholic cathedral, that the
mass had been sung there, and that the cathe-
| dral had not been dedicated since it ceased to
be used for Roman Catholic worship. This
omission the preacher held to be fatal, and
| another marriage was ordered.
| Then he forced her to be married on board
ship by Presby terian preacher, Rev. Giles
! Knight. Attendance at one Of Bob Ingersoli's
| lectures convinced him that this was illegal
for there he heard John Calvin denounced

The Republican press, dismayed at the
unpopularity everywhere Of the Force Bill
clause in their platform, have declared thai
the clause does not mean force bill. The
transparent fallacy Of this received com
plete exposure In the House of Representa-
tives Tuesday. The bill providing for sub
hitting to the States an amendment to the
constitution so as to elect Senators by the
people instead of by the legislatures, was
up. The amendment provides against any
interference by Federal legislation in the
election of Senators, which of course would
prevent any force bill. Mr.. Tucker made
a speech in support Of the bill, which wa.
so excellent that at it's close the Democrat
ic members gathered around him and con
graduated him. The correspondent of the
Richmond Times writes about the effect
it had On the Republicans
Mr.. Tucker had the attention of both sides
of the House and when he concluded he was
heartily congratulated.
MI. fuckers speech riled ex-Czar Reed
until he INDUCED in an Outburst of profanity
Mr.. Tucker devoted a part of his time to an
ed out that the adoption Of the proposed con.
stltutional amendment would serve to prevent
such legislation in the future. He also scored
the parties urging such legislation.
Mr.. Reed, in an excited manner, exclaimed
to some of his partiZan associates:
Its time to chide these Southern ballot
ding: "We'll beat the bill. ''' ~
Mr.; Lodge, the reputed author of the Daven.
port bill, told Mr.. Tucker that if the Demo
Gratis had not assailed the Force Bill there
would have been no Republican opposition to
the constitutional amendment, as it is, the
Republicans have decided to fight the pro-
posed amendment.
The Democrats will put it through under a
suspension of the rules.

Mr.. Tucker speech says:
Mr.. Tucker was listened to with the great

speech received warm congratulations upon

The fight at ssHomestead'' between t

The fight at Homestead between the
strikers and Pinkerton men, described last
week, was the first and the last of the blood
shed. The captured PinkertOns were per-
mitted to return home from whence they
should never have been brought, and the
majesty of the law was vindicated on
Tuesday by the appearance of 5000 Penn
sylvania State troops, called out by Cover
nor Pattison, at Homestead. The works
which the strikers had occupied without a
shadow of right, were put in the possession
Of their owners by the Sheriff, and the
strikers showed the right disposition by
retiring peacefully. What will occur when
the Carnegies put men to work IN place of
the strikers cannot yet he told. The whole
bloody and deplorable affair is good illus
tratlon Of the decisions and follies into
which the system of Protection has betray-
ed the otherwise level headed American
WOrkmen.

1t is strikingly important that Mon
tana should have the very best repre-
sentation at the coming silver conven,
ton in Washington. The delegates
from this state should be mon thor.
oughly representative of Montana'e
greatest industry; they should be men
familiar with the silver question in all
it's phases and should likewise be non
Of known standing not only in Montana,
but the country.
The informal method of choosing del
egates is to be commended, as is the
proposal to make the convention free tc
the admission of all who are friendly tc
the cause of the metal. We take il
that this gathering will be the most I'M
portant ever held in this country in the
interests Of silver. With the growth Of
the sentiment for free coinage, not alone
in the west, but in the south and with
the agricultural population of many
eastern states, it is easy to see that the
signs Of the times mean final victory for
free coinage. IL is now only a matter
of methods and the better the campaign
the quicker will come results for which
go many are striving. We look to see a
thoroughly practicable system Of win
ming votes decided upon at the Washing
ton convention.
1t is particularly important, at this
time, for Helena to show interest in the
work. Aside from the many benefits to
result to our citizens from free coinage,
it is desirable to employ all efforts to
the end that the mining congress to be
held in this city in July shall be a very
great success. In order to bring this
about, the city should be we'll repre-
sented at the May gathering. The mon
who are to attend should exercise all
their talents in interesting delegates in
the Helena convention. It will prove a
very opportune time for effective work,
and the right men must be sent on the
mission. n""#

KEEP JOHN CHINAMAN OUT,

In an adjoining column will be found
a letter on the Chinese question. While
it furnishes interesting historical facts
and suggests certain thoughts we'll to
bear in mind at all times, it places the
issue on sentiment rather than strict
lines of justice.
Perhaps a single sentence from the
letter is a sufficient text for brief argu-
ment in rebuttal. eve can therefore
help the work in China best by begin
ming at home and discharging our whole
duty as citizens and PATRIOTS" writes
the correspondent. Assuming that the
first duty of every man is to protect his
home, and secondly to protect his coun-
try, the Chinese question resolves itself
into a very simple proposition. Is it for
the protection Of home and country
that Chinese pauper labor is barred
from entering the boundaries of the
United States? Evidence in support of
this has been offered very many times
and has never been refuted. John
Chinaman's mission to this country is
very easily understood and enough OF
his character is known to convince most
people that he is not a desirable conner
If he could assimilate with the spirit OF
this country, if he could by any process
OF conversion become an American citi-
zen, the situation would be vastly differ

man and can become nothing else.
There is really nothing to be gained by
his residence here except to the con
tractors willing to accept his services
for half price, in lieu of the services of a
man who can add to the growth of the
country. There are few criticisms to be
offered on the conduct of the resident
Chinese population in this city. They
do their work very we'll and are well
paid; they obey the laws of the country
and interfere with the personal rights
of no citizen.
The prime object of the Geary
bill is the protection of a great
army of American day laborers from
Chinese competition and it is a worthy
object, indeed. 1t is recognized to q
certain extent in Jul immigration laws
with other countries. European paupel
labor from any country is barred al
