The Victoria had an enormous hole made

loose their small boats, she went to The

all on board. Some of the officers and
crew mai aged to get out of the suction
caused by the sinking of the vessel, and
were rescued. Among those lost is Vice
Admiral Tryon. D. -.. :. saFs-..-i .s.s..~s

that about 200 men had been drowned,
but later dispatches show that the loss

VARYING Republican Theories.

Varying Republican Theories.
New York Evening Post.
1t is hard to keep track of the diff
ferent theories advanced by republican
organs for the condition of business at
present. Whenever a mandatory
which has been closed starts up, they
ascribe it to the result of the elections
which they say were protest against
free trade. But at the same time they
say that democrats learn nothing from
the lesson and are going ahead with
their free trade tariff just as though
there had not been any elections
This seems to make out the manufac
turers a set of fools - or to put
in that category the editors who do
not see that the establishments which
have resumed business since the cleo
ton did so for the same reason as
those which resumed earlier, because
they have faith in the future since the
passage of the repeal act.

Morton and the Farmers.

The Chicago Herald
Whatever may be thought Of the
wisdom displayed by President Cleve-
land in the selection of other members
of his cabinet, there is probably bnt one
opinion as to the eminent fitness of J.
Sterling Morton for the department of
agriculture. Mr.. Morton was one of
the pioneers of Nebraska He took up
homestead and devoted himself to
making of it an ideal farmers home.
He has ever since been a practical and
successful farmer. Although life
long democrat, politics has been with
him an incident, not pursuit, and es-
pecially has he always shown himself
opposed to mere " farmer politics.. >
He believes in and has always en-
couraged the individual development
of the farmer in the line of his calling
the organization and maintenance
of farmers associations and Institutes,
not for political action, not secret nor
oath bound, but open to all, for intel
ligent conference, comparison of me-
thods and results and suggestions
based upon experience.

The Presidents message which is
published in full in this issue Of The
Democrat, is brave, comprehe nsive
and statesmanlike document. The
chief interest of course centers in the
portion relating to tariff reform; and
upon this Joint the Presidents recon-
mendations are sound and patriotic.
He says:
After a hard struggle tariff reform
is directly before us. Nothing so i'm
portant claims our attention and moth
ing so clearly presents itself as both
an opportunity and duty-an oppor-
tunity to deserve the gratitude of our
fellow citizens and a duty imposed up
on us by our oftrepeated professions
and by the emphatic mandate of the
people. After full discussion our
countrymen have spoken in FAVOR of
this reform, and they have conlided
the work of it's accomplishment to
the hands of those who are Solemnly
pledged to it. Ii there is anything in
the theory of representation in public
places of the people and their desires,
if public officers are really Inc servants
of the people, and if political promises
and professions have any binding
force, our failure to give the relief SC
long awaited will be sheer recreancy
Nothing should intervene to distract
our attention or disturb our efforts
until this reform is accomplished by
wise and careful legislation. While
we should staunchly adhere to the
principle that only the necessity of rev
enue justifies the imposition of tariff
duties and other federal taxation, and
that they should be limited to strict
economy, we cannot close our eyes to
the fact that conditions have grown
up among us which in justice anC
fairness call for discriminating care il
the distribution of such duties anC
taxation as the emergencies of oul
government actually demand.

for several days prospecting on the
farm of Jas. Norris, in the town of
Prairie du Chen. Mr.. y. took piece
of the ore and tested it roughly and
found gold in a paying quantity. 1t
is estimated to yield at least $500 per
ton, and may run up to $1,000 when
assayed, which is now being done at
Dubuque. A gang or several miners
were at work Friday on the ground
where the ore exists. In few days a
more definite statement will be made.

The general excellence Of the Will
son tariff bill makes it very uDsatis-
factory measure to the high tariff press
The Chicago Herald truly says:
The comments of republican papers
generally upon the Wilson tariff bill
are not SO much in condemnation OF
what it does propose as of what it does
not. They had all made up their
minds that this bill would propose to
SO revolutionize things that the sun
would rise in the west, the needle OF
the compass would point to the south
and that all the industries Of the
country would be paralyzed, every fac
tory closed, and every furnace fire put
out. Now they are kicking that Mr.
Wilson has not given them more tc
kick at.

changes we are likely to see must
cause some readjustment, if they are
to be of any benefit to the community

with the assurance that when they are
completed, collapses and break downs
in manufacturing industries will be
few if any.
