BALLOT SHEETS REDUCED.

Now that the State authorities have
been wise enough to reduce the new
ballot sheets to size of 22x2S inches, the
serious danger Of deadlock has been re-
moved. The new dimension is regular
paper size, and there should be no diff
Guilty in obtaining the number of sheets
required This reduction, too, obviates
the main difficulties of the printers, and
avoids the Inconvenience, or worse, which
would have attended efforts to get the
ballots of the blanket size lately proposed
into the boxes provided for their recep-
ton.
All that is necessary now is plenty of
instruction in the proper method of mark
ing the tickets, and with due care in this
direction voters should have little difficulty
in casting their ballots despite the mud

'Hon. Justin g. Morrill,:
DEAR SIR-As young Republican and
believer In the theory of protection for
American industries. should like to ask
you Dut one question regarding your most
excellent article in the North American Re-
pfeao for September. In discussing the Chi
ca2o platform you say: The denial of con.

necessity of higher duty on sugar, teas

"Why cannot the tariff which the Demo
Gratis want to levy for revenue only be laid
on manufactures and The duty remain as it
now is on coffee, sugar and tea? Why ex-
pect to give up the American market to an
enormous increase in the Importation of
foreign manufactures when the present

enue required? In the light of their past
record cannot doubt but that the opposi-
tion would do precisely as you say, but
would 1t necessarily follow that they would
do 1t? Why could they not say: we have q
certain amount of revenue to raise to de-
fray the expenses of the Governments. We
DENY the constitutional power to protect
any industry, but we might rs we'll raise tho
amount from the imported manufactures
as from sugar, coffee and tea, and we will
leave these as they now are.' Trusting I
may be favored by at least q brief reply,

Senator Morrilrs reply is as follows:
"STRAgToRD, VI, Sept. %, 1892.
DEAR SIR-I have not the time to make an
elaborate reply to your favor of the 2lst in
stant and forwarded TO me from Washing
ton. Democratic free trade is coried from
British free trade. The British put duties
on tea and coffee and sugar because they
produce none. 1t is all for revenue, there
being at home nothing of this sort to pro-
tect. They raise their revenue largely from
exc1ses, stamp taxes, income taxes, etc.
Democrats would place low duties on
foreign merchandise Tor the reason that IL
the rate excluded any importatlons, then it
would to that extent be protection, ald
must be reduced to the revenue standard.
That is to say, the rate must be fixed at tho
rate which will produce the largest amount
OF revenue. OF course such importations
would largely take the market away from
home products. All this ia anti American.
"But you will pardon brevity, and am
very respectfully yours.

TIE HOMESTEAD INDICTMENTS.

IT is the evident intention Of the grand
jury to give everybody connected with the
Homestead trouble ample opportunity to
explain Washington Star.
The case will attract worldwide celebrity
as being the only one in the history Of the
country where a man OF set OF men is
charged with treason in connection with q
labor uprising. Ohio State Journal.
IT seems evident that the sweeping fndict-
ments returned yesterday were the result of
the desire of the grand jury to have the
whole matter thoroughly sifted in open
court. This is right and reasonable
land Leader:
THE grand jury has discharged its duty in
finding indictments. and If petft jury will
but do its duty and pass impartially on the
issue brought before it, law and order will
achieve most signal triumph in this State.

A SECOND Homestead affair should never
be possible among sef-governing people;
and it will not be if the lesson OF the first
shall be made as impressive in its legal
aspects as it has already been made in other
costly ways.-Phiiadelphia Record.
THE Homestead strikers are indicted for
treason. The Carnegie managers and sew
eral of their agents are indicted for murder.
Matters seem to be about even between the
two. Each side must now show before
trial jury both its own innocence and the
others guilt.-BuGalo Express.
THE action of the grand jury in returning
indictments against the strikers. the steel
works officials and the Pinkerton men is in
harmony with our position in regard to this
matter from the start-namely, that all par
ties to the terrible slaughter at Homestead
were grievousiy at fault-Chtcdgo NeaOs

A FIvE-TO-TwO DECISION

That the New York Democracy was not
mistaken in its confidence in the Court of
Appeals was demonstrated yesterday.
The gerrymander passed at the recent
special session was declared to be consti-
tutional. The Judges were unanimous on
all questions save one, and that the most
important On the alleged inequalities in
the apportionment the Court divided,
five Democratic Judges holding that the
difference in the population of the ques-
tionable districts came within the exercise
of legislative discretion, while the two Re-
publican jurists argued that such discre-
ton was abused to an extent which
clearly violated the Constitution. The
New York gerrymander was prob
ably no better nor worse than the average
Of such enactments, but the fact that the
highest tribunal in New York divided on
party hines Is an interesting development

NECESSARY PROJECTS FIRST,

The New York Sun discusses at length
the proposition for an inland coast water
way starting at Boston or New York. 1t
considers the naval value of such water
way to be less than its advocates claim for
it, but regards its commercial value as
justification for undertaking the work.
This may be correct, but it reverses the
usual understanding. Commerce under
ordinary conditions has side by side with
the proposed route the unlimited water
way of the ocean; and, while the proposed
system might offer some gains to COM
merce in protection from storms. Its main
inducement would be the control of a
route by which vessels could be trans
ferred from one point to another without
coming in contaet with blockading
feet
Nevertheless it is true that this advant-
age is somewhat illusory. The route in
cludes three rather large. bodies of water,
Long Island Sound, Delaware and Chesa-
peake Bays. These bays are supposed by
the project to be protected by forts where
they open into the ocean. But to suppose
after the achievements of Farragut that
ironclad vessels could not pass any forts
that can be erected at least at the mouths
of the Chesapeake and Long Island
Sound is simple fatuity. When that was
done the inland naval route would be cut
into three comparatively unimportant and
disconnected sections. But that is not the
vital objection which exists to this project
The real objection to the present agita-
ton of the project Is that there are inland
waterways which both for military and
commercial purposes are far more impera-
lively needed than the coast waterway.
The connection of the rivers with the
lakes and of both with the ocean will SUD-
ply AN immense commerce with routes
where none exist, while the coast project
will only duplicate existing and far more
commodious paths for commerce. The
military need for the inland ship canals
does not comprise giving naval vessels
refuge from the enemy, but taking them
where they can defend otherwise defense
less cities and coasts rivaling in import
ance those of the entire Atlantic seaboard.
The coast waterway may be of value for
ultimate completion of an entire system;
but it should be clearly set down as only
to be undertaken when the needs of the
interior are supplied
The East should be given . very posi-

THERE must be q general relief that the
state OF affairs at Homestead is now such as
to warrant the removal of the last of the
troops. May lawlessness never make its
appearance there again in SO alarming and
discreditable a manner, and may our sold
iers be spared the necessity of emphasizing
the authority of the State, and be able to
confine themselves to the peaceful routine
of drills, parades and encampments. The
troops showed q readiness for prompt &C.
tion which was creditable to them, and
every law.abiding citizen must hope and
labor for the absence of necessity for such
demonstrations in the future.
