HE greatest of all the evils that fol-
low in the wake Of a protective tariff is
thus forcibly sat forth by the Hon.
wayne McVeagh, who was attorney
general in Garfield's cabinet:
Thu economic evils, however, of the Mo-
kinney bill and the unreasonable system of
protection it represents are of far less i'm
p%ortlnce to his mind than the moral evils
winch follow In their wake. In deciding
for what pufpose the masses of the people's
p operty be taxed il must NOT be forgotten
that taxes have a wonderful capacity for
flterinR through intervening obstacles till
they reach the bowed back of toll and rest
ing there, and therefore giving bountiss
under any form OF taxation is mainly th q
giving away of the wages of labor. But
even such inequality ami Injustice are Lea al
of its evils, for while such a system eudnf.s
political corruption 10 absolutely sure to
increase. as such system not only invites
but requires the corrupt use Of money, both
at the polls and in congress.
1t is also true that were It not for tho
enormous sums Of money contributed
by favored manufacturers BENJAMIN
Harrison would stand no more chance
OF election than Gen. Bidwell, the pro-
hibitlon candidate. In Il fair contest
between the two great parties the dem
ocrats would carry three fourths of the
states. But they are fighting an enemy
entrenched in power behind a tariff
policy which enables them to spend a
million dollars for, every thousand the
democrats can raise. Yet the popular
majority is and has been with the demo-
cratic party for the past sixteen years.

10 lay with one hand the of
government on the property Of a citizen
and with the other to bestow it on
favored individuals to aid private enter
prise and build up private fortunes is
none the less robbery because it is done
under the forms of law and is called
taxation. This is not legislation. 1t is
a decree under legislative forms. Nor is
it taxation. Beyond a cavil there can
be no lawful taxation which is not laid
for public purposes. Justice Miller in

THE Warhorse is making a quiet hunt
for the Legislative ticket IN the outside
districts. The only way to beat him, in
spite of his unpopularity, is TO elect
good, sturdy democrats to the legisla-
ture. Republican candidates may not
be for Sanders now. but if elected they
will be subject to pressure to support
him. The sure way Of getting rid Of
Sanders ia to exterminate him at the
polls on Nov. s.

IT seems strange that our postal au-
thorities still refuse to comply with the
request of thousands of people in Mon
tana and the C9ur d'Alene country to
carry the mail from Helena and inter
mediate points to Wallace direct, on the
train leaving this city at 7:3O n. m. 1t
is an outrage that a letter should be two
days in reaching Wallace and the neigh
boring country. Are Mr.. Wanamaker
and his assistants so deep in politics that
they cannot attend to the business in
terests of the country?

WHEN Richards strikes Helena on his
campaign of explanation we shall be
disappointed il he does not tackle and
a%nnihilate James G. Blaine as a parlia-
mentarian. 1t will be remembered that
MIR. Blaine told the house Of represeu-
%tatlyes, when a proposition was made IN
hat body to count members not voting,
IN order to make a quorum, that it stood
on the brink of a volcano, and that con-
stitutional government would be at an
end were such a course adopted. The
republicans OF Montana believe in Blaine,
but perhaps Richards can convince them
that they put too high an estimate upon
HIM. After his successful assault on
the multiplication table and the ten
commandments, Richards feels equal to
anything.

The esteemed Journal warns the peo-
pie that the result of fusion, which may
throw the presidential election into the
house of representatives, will result in
the choice of Cleveland anyhow. Pre-
clsely so. That is what fusion is for.
1t will take states otherwise republican
from Harrison. But there is no proba-
bility that the house Of representatives
will be called upon to elect. Cleveland
will get a straight majority Of the cleo
toral college.

AS IN Arkansas. so in Georgia and
Florida, intelligent colored men this
year have voted the democratic ticket.
The movement Of voters Of this race is
OF great significance. At last the. col
ored vote all over the country is divid-

pockets of republican politicians. There
is many a close state whose vote will be
changed this year in favor Of the demo-

TID-BITS.

We know not what it is, dear, this sleep SO deep
The folded hands, the awful calm, the check go
pale and still.
The lids that win not lift again, tho we may
cali and call,
The strange white solitude OF peace that settles
over all.
We know not what it means. dear. this dssolate
heart pain.
The dread to take our daily way aud walk in IL
again.
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave US go,
Nor why we're left to worship still, nor why we
do not know.
tut this we know: Our loved and Lost, if they
should come this day,
Should come and ask us. What is life?" not one
OF us could say.
Life Is a mystery as deep as death can ever be,
and see.
Then might they say, those vanished ones, ard
blessed is the thought;
so death Is sweet to US, beloved, though we can
- tell you naught."
We may not tell it to the quick, this mystery of
death,
Ye may not tell it if ye would. this mystery of
breath.
The child that enters life comes not with knowl-
edge or intent.
II. SO who enter death must go, as little chill
dren went.
Nothing is known. but 1 believe that God is
life is to the living, so death is to tbs dead.

surance agent came into a railroad office
where was tryiE' to make rates for a car
load OF bosses, an the fust thing he done
was to try to bunco the agent out of $40, 600
of insurance. Well. I listened fer a while
an then began to take some interest in the
matter. 1t seems that the man was exam.
min doctor. an he talked tontine and
s~emi-tontins, an endowment, an old line
and all sech things as that, an then he gave
the mon a little chance to rest. An then
the agent got in his work, an gol darn me,
If he idu't do the life insurance agent to
the queens taste. He sorter kinder re-
fused to talk about insurance. but began
ter speak about the benefits of foreign
travel. an before he had spoken fer more

The Catholic News tells an interesting
story OF Cardinal Gibbons, which hap
pened when he was bishop of Richmond.
de was one time a defendant in a suit in
relation to some church property. When
called to the witness stand. the plaintiffs
lawyer, a distinguished legal luminary,
after vain endeavors to involve the witness
in contradictions, struck upon a plan which
no thought would annoy the bishop. He
thereupon questioned the right Of DIR. Glib
bons to tho title of bishop of Richmond,
and called on him to prove his claim to the
office. The defendants counsel, of course,
objected to this as irrelevant, but the
bishop. with a quiet smile, said he would
comply with the request if allowed half an
hour to produce the necessary papers. This
being allowed the bishop left the courtroom
and returned in twenty minutes with a doc
umsnt. which he proceeded to read with
great solemnity. all the more solemn as the
paper was in Latin. The plaintiffs law
yer pretended to take notes industri-
ously, bowling his head once in a while
as If in aoquiescence. ard seeming
perfectly convinced at the end. When the
reading was finished he announced hat the
papal bulls just read were perfectly salts
factory, at the same time apoiopizine for
his expressed doubts. The next day, says
the Halifax On. s. Mail, it leaked out that
the bishop. unable to find the papal bull at
his residence, had brought to the court and
read a Latin essay on Pope Leo the Great,
written by an ecclesiastical student, and
forwarded by the president of the college !
as a specimen of the young mans skill in |
Latin composition. The smart LAWYER |
never heard the last of it,.

An Insect Which destroys Corn. Sorghum
and sugar Cane.


An Insect Which destroys Corn. Sorghum
and sugar Cane.
This insect was first noticed in 1928
when it was found to be doing much
damage to sugar cane in the West In
dies. In 1856 further damage by the
same pest was noticed. and reports OF
its ravages came from Australia, Java,
Borneo, Sumatra and Ceylon. At an
early date it made its appearance In
Louisiana, probably being introduced
with cane seed from the West Indies
1t has constantly increased in num-
bcrs, sometimes entirely destroying
plantations, the canes breaking to
pieces when cut Several years ago
this insect turned its attention to corn,
and has done much damage in the
southern states, even as far north as
Virginia and Maryland. The depart
ment of agriculture sent entomolgists
into the infested territory to investi-
gate the life-history and hab is of the
pest, and to devise and suggest RENE
dies and means of determination. In
sect Life reports that they found that
the parent moth (ahown enlarged at
a in our illustration) lays her eggs up
on the leaves Of the young stalks, near
the axis, and that upon Matching the
young borer penetrates the stalks at
the joint and commences to tunnel
usually upward, through the soft
pith, as shown in the right-hand
engraving which represents the
general appearance of an infest-
ed stalk as it stands, but cut open

AMONG THE POULTRY.

MORE than half of early maturity is
in good feeding.
If an egg is allowed to get thorough
ly chilled it will not hatch.
TWENTY-FIVE hens are as many as
should bc confined in one yard.
GIVE the fowls at this time all the
opportunity possible for exercise.
CONSTANT handling Of the eggs in an
incubator Will often spoh the hatch.
WHEN the ground is covered with
snow ducks and geese must be well
fed.
Do NOT rely upon any one material
for feeding bat supply good variety
regularly.
Ir is an item in selecting out hens
that are to be kept to take those that
are quiet and tame.
If onions, garlic or other strong ma
terials are fed TO the laying hens too
freely the eggs will be tainted.
SOFT feed of any kind is better if wet
up with milk than with anything else.
especially for the young fowls.
CoRyMEAL and bran mixed well to-
gether and scalded makes good morn

IT is the mother that influences the
internal qualities, and a good layer
will transmit this quality to her off
spring.
WHEiE poultry is made speciality
it will pay to plan to grow supply of
sunflower sorghum and kafir corn for

No FOOD should be given young fowls
until they are at least twenty-four
hours old. Too early feeding often
causes bowel diseases that prove fatal
