CURED OF TRICHINA.
The Last of the Victims Left the Ger.

The German Hospital is now clear OF
trichina The last of the three sufferers
left for home yesterday. William Hunins
was discharged on the 4th inst. Otto Nagel
on the 18th, and yesterday Walker Nagel
left for st. Helena by the afternoon train.
The last named was the greatest sufferer of
the party and at one time his life was in
serious danger. In one day his temperature
rose to 1913 deg, dropped to 100, again
reached 103. and again dropped to 101. and
so continued to fluctuate as the dread trch-
ina worked their way toward his throat and
heart.
The cases of trichina that find their way
int the ears of The public are few and far

which were regarded as fatal. Wells, who
happened to be foot or TWO away at the
moment, was thrown down, stunned and
dangerously wounded. Though the camp is
located forty miles from San Quintin, in
rough country, it was thought best to re-
move Wells. who was not so badly wounded.
Wells made the trip with wonderful grit,
and was at once treated by company

The most charitable explanation Of Mr.
HARTEB's economic eccentricity lie that he
is. properly speaking. free trader. not a
tariff-for-revenue-only man. He regards
Custom Houses as moral pests and eco
nomic nulsances. He would have everything
free list. and the tariff wiped out. Such Is
the philanthropic dream OF the doctri-
naire. But Mr.. HARTER, rs Democratic
Representative. is bound to represent Dem
ocratic ideas. For the closet or the maya
zines Mr.. HARTER's idcas may do: but his
course as q Democratic Representative
should be representative OF Democratic
principles. A free list. with It's odous faint
OF protectionsm, Is as contrary to the DEM
ocratic doctrine OF the constitutional tariff
as any delusion Of protectionism can be. Mr.
HARTER. the free trader. has unconsciously
become protectionist. He fails to see. or
forgets. that the Democracy is neither for
protection nor for free trade. but for The

The New Partnership.

The affair lately developed between Mr..
JAMES j. VAN ALIEN and President CLRvE-
LAND concerning the Italian mission is
rather theatrical. 1t has touches Of both
the comedy and the pathos which at
tend the launching Of some ambitious
and untutored woman who aspires to
play leading parts in the drama, with
little or nothing Of preliminary study.
Capital has already introduced to the
boards a number Of usually cookbook
ing but always stage-struck ladies.
clothed In the robes OF JULIET or
PAULINE. who had never previously
handled SO much as q buskln. or seen
a footlight. or had other than the most
rudimentary conception Of the art OF de-
liverlng speech. This has been done in
dependently by the lady alone. or in con-
junction with some admirlng capitalist,
who. sharing her estimate Of her natural
genius. has thirsted to see 1t displayed be-
fore the world in the brilliancy Of the most
famous characters known to the stage.
Mr.. VAN ALIEN. it appears. Is. as it were.
one OF those ladies'. Having passed his
days more than usually apart from the
commonplace affairs OF his fellow citi-
Eens. he aspires to an office which, by
the average man who observes and re-
spects public life. has always been held
rs an honor to be bestowed upon such
rs had come to deserve 1t. Although 1t
10 understood that Mr.. VAN ALIEN has
been his own hacker. it Is fair to
regard the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND,
his grateful nominator to be United States
Ambassador to Italy. as the promoter of
his craze for greatness. just as he will be
partner In his potential triumphs.
Generally these theatrical ventures have
not been successful Talent is usually re-
vealed through the harshness OF experience.
But what Of that? The records OF the past
place no limit on possibility. Something
new may always turn up. the proverb to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Who knows
but that Mr.. CLEVELAND will be justified,
and that. after all. Mr.. VAN ALIEN, In his
seclusion. has really been flower OF as
founding loneliness and superiority?
1t Is pity. to be sure. that In this case,
unlike the exploitation OF actresses through
purely private capital. Mr.. CLEVELAND Is
forced to advance Mr.. VAN ALIEN through the
Federal resources and in the name Of the
party organization OF the Democracy. But,
on the other hand. the profits OF the enter
prise are to be divided. too. The services
which Mr.. VAN ALIEN will render to the
country he is about to represent In for
eign land must be credited to the public
account, and eventually they may even be
valuable.

No Reason for Delay.

The Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee have very properly
voted down motion OF Mr.. REEDS for ex-
tending the time for listening to the argu-
ments OF the protected industries.
Mr. REED made this motion on the ground
that 1.-THE committee had not sufficient in
formation before 1t to work intelligently in
the preparation OF q bill" That would
undoubtedly be true IL the committee were
charged with the duty OF constructing an
unconstitutional tariff for protection; but
It Is not true concerning the task OF this
committee. for their task is merely the
preparation OF constitutional tariff for
revenue only.
tariff for protection must be made with
careful regard to its effect on many differ
ent and related industries. so that burden
Of taxation for the benefit Of one may be
compensated by corresponding protection
to another. II, for instance. wool is pro.
tected, the woollen manufacturers must
be protected against the protection Of the
wool growers. Hence the adjustment OF
the schedules Of on unconstitutional tariff
is very delicate. complicated, and labori-
Gus undertaking.
1t Is altogether different with constitu-
tional tariff for revenue only and for the
express purpose Of getting rid OF the
whole robbery Of protection. That Is q
very simple matter. For the preparation Of
such tariff bill. very short time only Is
necessary. Nobody needs to be heard with
regard to 1t. Justice to the interests Of no
particular Industry requires that Its favor
should be sought or Its objections consid-
cred; for the bill is not to be framed with
reference to the promotion Of any special
industrial interests. 1t Is simply to raise
public revenue. not to help anybody to
make private revenue.
=, There is no reason why the constitutional
tariff bill should not be ready to lay before
Congress at as early day as Congress Is
ready to consider it. and none why it should
not become law within few weeks after it's
Introduction. The problem is very simple.
The command Of the people that unconsti-
tutional protection shall be destroyed root
and branch. can be obeyed promptly after
Congress gets down to tariff business.
