Warehouse DelusiOn.

We have had In the past many proofs Of the
ignorance Of the people as to national affairs,
and now the Alliance warehouse delusion is
exposed. For years the leaders of the Alli-
ance have demanded that the government
should build warehouses for the farmer, sta.
ting, as precedent, that the government had
built warehouses for the distillers. Strange
as 1t may scam. yet for two years we had no
man amongstas of sufficient information to
correct the rrisststement. The statement is
now officially made that the government has
never built any warehouse for any distiller
and the allegation that such was the case is
now proved to be without any foundation in
fact. What next?

Valuable lsaDers.

We notice in our daily exchanges that val
liable papers have been recently found In the
rubbish from some OF the State offices In Col
umbia.
What we want to know is, which Of the
State officers has been throwing away these
papers? 1t is perfectly certain to our mind
that there has been a very near approach to
criminal misconduct on the part OF some
body. II these papers had not been thrown
away, how could anybody find them? We
hope that our city brethren will let the pub
lie know which of the State officers has been
treating historical papers as rubbish. Per-
SONS Who may be disposed to say bard things
might call such acts vandalism.

AbbevilIe.
MIR. w. S. Scott, master builder In the
construction OF the Presbyterian church al
this place, was in town from Friday until
Monday OF last week. He and Mrs. Scott
came on visit 10 old friends In town, and
our people were glad to see them.
Mr.. Scott is now building splendid house
of worship for the Presbyterians OF Laurens
village, which Is larger and more pretentious
than the Presbyterian church in Abbeyille.
The cost OF the Laurens church will be $4,000
or more, possibly $4,000.
Besides the commodious school room
attached TO the church, the church at LaurenS
is provided with a basement, the full size OF
the building, which is large one. In the
basement are cook room, a dining room.
pantry, dressing rooms for ladies and gentle
men-the whole TO be used for hot suppers
and other entertainments which contribute
to the creature comforts.
Mr.. Scott has been st Laurens for year,
and he calculates that II will require six
months longer In which to finish the church.
He will give the Laurens people an honest
job In the church which will be monument
TO the devotion and zeal or the people who
built 1t long after they will have pass ed away.

Reds JUGGLE.
cratic.

The republicans are attempting to
make much over Candidate Reds ar,
rangement with the New York Typo
graphical union. They regard it as a
complete vindication of their candidate.
The majority of their party's organs
have used it as the text for many a con-
g~ratulatory article. Few Of them have
had the honesty to admit that Reid has
squared" himself merely as a political
necessity and not because of any desire
to recognize organized labor. The Port
land Oregonian, one of the strongest
advocates of republicanism in the north
west, is, however, of different calibre
and expresses itself plainly on the sub
ject. The Oregonian says:
Whitelaw Reds settlement" with the
Typographical union is a mere juggle,
credftable to neither party. 1t has
grown out of a desire on Reds part for
political preferment, and on the part of
the union from internal connections re-
sulting from prostitution of the union to
the political desires of it's ''bosses." Reid
wanted the nomination for the vice
presidency, and this led him to consent
to an accommodation with the union,
and an official report of the doings of
the union declares that there is certain
element in it, which, having re-
ceived office through democratic agen-
cies, cares more for the success of the
democratic party than it does for the
welfare of its own trade organization"
As a stand off" to this element, the ar
rangement was made with the Tribune,
to which Reid. on the one side was in
clined by his desire for the nomination
OF the vice presidency, and to which a
large part of the membership of the un-
ion was inclined on the other by their
to counterwork the democratic
politicians and ofiiceholders of the union.
1t is not a creditable ''dicker" on either

TO SAVE THE WEST.

The democratic national committee
have judged wisely in deciding to estab
fish a branch headquarters in Chicago.
1t is in the west that the great battle
ground will be this fall and the fighting
to be successful must be at short range.
The elections of the past two years
show that in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
and Wisconsin the democrats have made
great gains. In three of these states the
democrats have carried the legislature,
thus electing three United States SEN
ators, and have captured three governor
ships. In these states the democratic
party occupies a higher vantage ground
than it has possessed for years and it
enters upon the presidential contest with
more than a fighting chance to win.
But besides this, there is Indiana,
naturally and honestly a democratic
state, that simply needs to be properly
canvassed to be retained in the demo-
cratic column. The innumerable de-
tails of the campaign cannot receive
proper attention from a committee a
thousand miles away. A few votes
gained in each of the precincts in these
states will carry them for Cleveland and
assure his election.
The battle can be fought and the
victory won as well in the west as in the
east. The right kind of work done now
will swing these western states into the
army of democracy. With headquarters
in Chicago the next president will be a
democrat.

STEVENSON ON THE TARIFF.

The speech of Hon. Adlai f. Steven
son delivered at his home in Blooming
ton, ILL.,, and printed in full in Sunday
mornings TRIBUNE should be read and
read carefully by every voter in Montana
In a few brief, but telling sentences Mr..
Stevenson completely exposes the re-
publican high tariff fraud. His argu-
ments cannot fail to be convincing.
He shows that the tariff policy of the
republican party has been a step back
ward with every increase of duties; that
the policy of that party has been to re-
duce the taxes of the rich and to in
crease the burden laid upon the poor.
His argument throughout is clear, forci.
BILE and above all unanswerable. He has
given the democrats confirmation of
their faith in tariff reform and our re-
publican voters something to think
about.

Mr. Sheridan's stumping tour in Mon
tana may have been very successful to
him in a financial way but it was scarce
successful from a political point of view.
1t is a misfortune that protection ora
tors labor under-every one of their ar
guments for the robber-tariff is a two
edged sword. and cut both ways. In
one of his addresses Mr.. Sheridan vindi-
Gated the value of protection by the case
of the American bricklayer as compared
with the English %bricklayer. In Eng
land the bricklayer earns Il cents an
hour while in this country he earns so
cents an hour. "This," Sheridan tri-
~umphantly exclaims. lis what protection
does for the working man"
If it is protection that keeps up the
wages of the American bricklayer, how
does it happen that protection does not
also keep up the wages of bricklayers in
Germ any or France, where, under a sys-
TEN of protection, wages are lower than
in free-trade England. Moreover the
bricklayer's trade is not protected. He
is not protected from the competition
created by the unrestrained influx of n
taxed foreign pauper bricklayers.
Then Mr.. Sheridan while at Dillon
told a most touching and pitifnl story
about the poor English womb, in free
trade England, who was obliged to as
sist her husband at the anvil, welding a
heavy sledge in order to earn a precarious
subsistence for her little family. Mr..
Sheridan need not have gone SO far from
home to find poverty. Let him ride
through any farming country in the west
and he will zee plenty of women shaving
in the fields helping their husbands and
fathers. In any large city he will see
m shaving over the wash tub help
ing their husbands earn money enough to
pay for the highly taxed clothing the
children need. In any city he will find
an army of sewing women killing them
selves over the sewing machine in order
to earn a pittance a day to keep body
and soul together. "Yes, protection is a
beautiful thing"

THE AGE OF FORBEARANCE,

To the religious man nothing is so
sacred as his religion. Yet one of the
most hopeful signs of the age is the spir-
it of tolerance and forbearance that is
being made manifest in the matter of
religion. Y is the age of free thought
and free discussion and the Jew, the
Christian, the Mohammedan, and the
unbeliever are accorded the right to de-
clare the faith or non-faith that is in
them. Each may justly bring against
the other the weapons of logic, learn
ing, and common sense. but not those of
denunciation or ridicule.
This spirit Of forb ance and corr-
tesy in doctrinal controversy shows that
the teachings Of Christ are triumphing
over the bitterness of creeds. The
chasm which a hundred years ago sepa-
rated the believer from the doubter is
bridged over. The various creeds of the
past with their visions of an angry, mer-
CHESS God have given way to the broad
creed of humanity in which the God of
love and charity is the central figure.
Paradoxical as it may seem there is
nothing in the religious world today
which SO clearly shows this tendency to-
ward the broader creed of humanity
the tendency to supplant the narrow doc
trines Of the old dispensation by the
teachings of Christ-as the multiplicity
OF sects. The spirit Of independence
characteristic Of the age is asserting it.
self in the religious as we'll as in the po-
litical world. 1t is a question of but a
few years when the multitude of relig-
Ious sects, differing as they do in minor
points only, will unite under the broad
banner Of the religion Of humanity-the
true church universal.
