&C Breckinrldee Resolution.

| Representative Breckinridgs's resolution
which repeats the reciprocity provision OF
the Mckinley tariff, and which was intro
duced into the House Monday, will be vigor-
ously opposed by the republicans. The Re-
publican party has made a good deal Of po-
litical capital out Of that provision. and
/ they hope to make a great deal more. But
/ the argument against its constitutionality is
/ very strong, and it is doubtful II the ablest
Of the republican leaders believe that it is
constitutional.
When the Mckinley tariff bill was before
congress democrats declared that the reci.
pTocity feature Of it was contrary TO the
constitution because the President was given
power to impose taxes aud adopt retaliatory
measures without congressional action.
The republicans have never had a very high
regard for the constitution and they passed
tie bill notwithstanding the protest Of the
democrats. They will now have a chance
20 consider whether or not they did not act
too hastily.
Mr.. Brecktnridge is not opposed to reci-
procity, though he does not strongly
favor it. Appended to his resolution is
much broader reciprocity pro vision than
that of the Mckinley act, but it does not
confer upon the President such extraordI-
nary powers as that act does. IL is not
charged that the President will misuse the
power he has 10 virtually close our ports
to those countries which refuse or neglect
to enter into reciprocal relations with US.
but he might do so. He has just issued his
proclamation announcing that, after March
IS next, the benefits of the Mckinley tariff
will be withdrawn from those countries
which shall have failed at that time TO enter
into satisfactory trade agreements with this
country. The power which the Mckinley
tariff act gives him is very great, and
might be made the means Of serious inter
national complications.
1t is highly probable that the ways and
means committee will report the Breckin-
ridge resolution favorably, but If it does
and the House passes it, the Senate, ii is
pretty safe to say. will defeat it. The re-
publicans are not going to permit tine only
popular feature of the Mckinley tariff to be
stricken out Of the Mckinley act on the eve
of presidential contest. They will hold on
TO the reciprocity feature Of the Mckinley
tariff just as long as they can, or at least
until after the presidential election. The
debate on the Breckenridge resolution will
be for the benefit of the country. After the
resolution has served their purpose they
will offer very little, if any opposition, prob
ably, to any modification of it that will tend
TO remove the doubt about its being consti-
tutional.

nSton Thia Thin1p'


Twelve murders in thirty days is indeed
an appalling record for Florida, and one
which affords the authorities in that state a
subject for serious reflection. No such
I epidemic Of crime could happen it is an
effect for which some cause exists, and
I which should be sought out AMI remedied.
! The Florida Times Union traces a number
OF these murders to the practics OF carry
ing concealed deadly weapons, aud cries
out. "Stop this thing"
That cry is a warning 10 be needed, and
the quicker the better. There are laws on
the statute books Of a majority of the states
Of the union against the carrying OF con-
| cealed weapons, but. unfortunately, they
are seldom vigorously enough enforced
where the penalty is at all commensurate
with the menace 70 public safety In most
Of the states, we believe, the carrying Of
concealed weapons is a misdemeanor,
punishable by q small fine; in others, nota-
bly, South Carolina, it is made something
more serious and Is punishable by imprison =
ment in the penitentiary. The Georgia law
makes it a misdemeanor. leaving the punish
ment pretty much within the discretion Of
the judge, the statutes leaving very wide
latitude.
in Florida the law "a at present enforced
is a dead letter; "a farce-worse than
that" the Tines Union says, for under it
the practice Of carrying concealed weapons
has not only become ''more general" but
more fatal TO human lite" 1t is hardly
true that the practice has become more
~ -
criminals aud bullies in the population has
increased. for it is a notorious fact they, as
a rule, are the people who carry concealed
knives and pistols; but that the practice is
responsible for many murders cannot be
questioned.
Having a deadly weapon within
easy reach is a dangerous convenience to
men in any condition of life. A hasty tenn
per might, and frequently does, prompt the
use Of it. The safest and best plan is to re.
move the temptation to do violence by
removing the means wherewith to do it,
and this can be accomplished only by strict
laws rigidly enforced.
There is no necessity for carrying con-
cealed weapons; the safety of life and prop
erty does not demand it, and the practice
should be put down. If any man imagines
that it elevates him to carry a pistol. or
would pose as "bad man from Pizen
creek" let him stick half dozen horse
pistols in his belt and boots. in plain view of
the multitude-that would be awe-inspiring
enough to satisfy any soul; and that class
of people are never dangerous. But abolish
the concealed pistol and dirk, the murderer's
weapons. If chain~gangs and fines will
not do it revise the laws aud make the
offense a felony, DISTINGUISHING the guilty
man as well as sending him UP for e long
term in states prison. Let the law be
mandatory and prohihitory, and let it be
enforced against all violators. without dis
tinction. When this is done we shall have
fewer murders.

A Grateful Goose.

In 1885 a rebellion broke out in our Canadian
possessions. and two battalions OF the Guards
were sent 10 assist in queiling it. says the Lon
don Times. Near these Guards was a farm
house which suffered much from the ravages of
a fox one night while on duty guard OBJ
served fox chasing goose.
HIS first idea was to have a shot st the fox
but this would have alarmed the guard and
| brought punishment on him for giving false
alarm. He was compelled. therefore. TO remain
a silent spectator 70 the scene. In its despair
the poor bird ran its head and NECK between the
legs OF the soldier In its endeavOr to reach
refuge. and at the same moment the fox made a
graz al the goose, but too late, for ere he could
get a feather between his teeth the bavonet of
the sentinel had posed through bis body.
The goose could never be prevailed upon to
quit the post, but walked up and down with
each sentry that was placed there until the
battalion left Canada, when the goose was
/ brought away With IL as regimental pet to
England The most remarkable thing in con-
nection with the story is that the goose in turn
actually saved its preserver's life.
IL so happened that he was on that perticu-
lar post again about two months afterward
when an attempt was made to surprise and kill
the unwary sentinel l. was winter tins. and
although it was a moonlight night the moon
was hid ever and anon by the clouds. Ia these
moments OF darkness a sharp observer might
have noticed several men who, unob served by
the drowsy sentinel were endeavoring to APP
prOach the post where ne stood. Suddenly he
thought he heard a strange. rustling sound,
shouted: Who goes theref'
Not sound save the echo of his own voice in
the distance. Several minutes elapsed, during
which the soldier marched up and down his
beat, followed by the goose until, deeming his
alarm unWarranted, he stood at ease. This was
the enemy's opportunity. and they were not
long IN trying TO profit by 1t. Closer and closer
they stole toward the post the snow completely
deadening the sound OF their footsteps. But
just as two of their number were preparing
WITH upllfted knife, to spring upon him, the
bird rose suddenly on its wings and swept
round the sentry box with tremendous forcs,
Tapping its wings right in the face Of the

They were astounded and rushed bindly for
ward, but the sentry. aroused TO his danger
bayoneted one and shot the other as he was
running away. Meanwhile the others APP
preached to the assistance of their colleagues,
but the bird repeaeed its tactics and enabled
the sentry to keep them at bay until the guard,
whom the firing of the musket had alarmed,
came upon the scene and made them fly for
their lives. When this incident became known
poor old Jacob was the hero of the garrison
and the officers subscribed for and purchased
him golden collar, which the bird afterward

stanch man at the wheel,
And the rudder is never left to itself, but the

Standing in Their own Light.

The fruit and vegetable growers of Florida
do not appear to study the demands of the
markets upon which they are largely de-
pendent as closely as they ought Many of
the orange growers have failed TO get re-
munerative prices for their fruit this season
because the orange crop has not been mar
keted with judgment. The impression
got abroad early that the crop was going to
| be an enormous one, and that. therefore,
prices would be low. Consequently the
growers were seized with sort of panic
and sent their fruit to market in such guam
titles that there was a glut, and conse-
quently very great decline in prices.
This country will consume all the oranges
| produced in this country and pay profitable
prices for them, provided they are Judi
ciously distributed. But if large part of
the crop is put upon the market within a
few weeks prices are certain to fall below
the remunerative point.
There are other things which the fruit
and vegetable growers should be careful
about, and one Of them is that the packages
in which their products are marketed should
be Of uniform size. Commission merchants
have tried to impress this upon shippers and
growers, but without much success. They
say that small packages cost as much
for freight as those of full size,
and sell for much less proportionately.
Buyers are prejudiced against them.
Irregular packages embarrass commission
merchants because they require different
prices and furnish basis for agitation In
behalf Of the sale of fruits and vegetables
| by weight
There are many ways in which the fruit
and vegetable growers could help them
selves if they would take the trouble to dis
cover them. The first thing they should
do, however. is to organize. They will then
be in position to discover how their crops
can be handled to the best advantage.

Mr.. SprinRer's Faults.

Representative Springer is showing the
faults 1t was thought he would when the
question of his fitness for the craftsmanship
Of the ways and means committee was be-
ing discussed. He has plenty of ability of
a certain kind, but he is wanting in judg-
ment. He appears to be afraid that his inn
portance will not be properly recognized
and he is therefore talking as is if he spoke
for the House.
He appears to have given the plan to re-
fer the silver question to an international
monetary congress a setback by his posi-
tive declaration at the jackson dinner in
New. York that free silver coinage bill
would not be passed by this congress. Evil

impulsive. If he would think more and
talk less he would have much less difficulty
in getting himself recognized as the leader
of the House.

Gable reports announce that Brazilian
emissaries have gone to Paris for the pur-
pose of inducing Princess Isabel, daug hter
of Dom Pedro, to abdicate her claim to the
Brazilian throne in favor of the Count
D'Eu. Should the princess accede there
will be more bloodshed in Brazil. D'Eu is
known to be heartless and ambitious man
who would scruple at nothing to gain his
end. 1t may or not be true, as has been
claimed, that the Brazilians are incapable
of self-government, but any sem5lance of
popular government would be incompar-
ably better than an empire with D'Eu at is
