TWO VERDICTS.

In the days before the telegraph had
put girdle about the earth, there was
once steamer coming down certain
river surcharged with excitement and
big with the news of political conven-
ton. She was met in midstream by
another steamer coming up and bearing
crowd of people anxious to hear the
news. AS the two boats swung into
range, a big fellow climbed up on the
bow of the second boat and bawled out:
"Gentlemen-who-o-om did they nomin-
ate?" Back came the answer, "James
X. Polk of Tennessee" Gentlemen"
said the big man, turning to his COM
panions, "three cheers for three
cheers for What did he say the
IS name was?'
That was the contemporary judgment
upon James X. Polka nonentity. No
body had heard of him when he was
nominated, nobody respected him while
he was President, nobody cared or re-
membered when he went out of Office.
Mr. Polk did not share these views.
When he died his will provided that his
home at Nashville, several acres, on
which his tomb is situated, should go to
his wife, and after her death to that
relative who should be pronounced the
'worthiest relative bearing the name Of
Polk" and, in case of that Folks death,
to successor chosen by the governor of
Tennessee. There is something laugh
able in the idea Of putting such gran
diloquent clause in a will, as there is in
the mental state Of man who should
dictate such a clause without naming
the method Of selecting the "relative
worthiest to bear the name of Polk. y
ANYHOW, Mrs. Polk died last year, and
Tasker Polk OF North Carolina thought
himself the worthiest Polk; and brought
suit for the property, but heartless
court has decided that Polk knew as lit
tie of law as of craftsmanship, that the
will was N. g., and that the heirs at law
should inherit.
What a disappointment all this would
have been to the little man could he
have foreseen it when he made his will (!

We reafirm the American dootrine of

be produced in the United States, except
Injuries, should be admitted free Of duty,
aud that on ali imports coming into
competition with the products Of
American labor there should be levied
duties equal to the diff srence between the
wages abroad and at home. We assert
chat the prices Of manufactured articles Of
general consumption have been reduced
under the operation of tariff act of 1890
We denounce the efforts of the demo

atiyes to destroy our tariff laws by peace
meal, as is manifested by their attacks
upon wool, lead and lead ores the chief

ask the people for their Judgement there
