THEY LIKE TO BE HUM
BUGGED,

Senator WAsHBURN is protectlonist.
He has learned their arguments and
methods, and is using them in the pass
age of his anti-option bill. The protec-
ZIONIST says that he wants tax on i'm
ports so that he can increase the pay of
his workmen. Wages form one item of
cost OF production; rise in them makes
the product dearer. This catches the
labor vote. Then he wants protection
because it will induce competition,
which will reduce the cost Of the prod
uct. This catches the consumers vote.
He wants what he must pay for made
dearer, and he wants what he must sell
cheapened. Queer as it may seem, there
have been lots of men who weren't
rated as fools by their neighborS who
were caught by this.
Seeing how successful the other fel-
lows were in fishing for gudgeons,
WAsHBURN tries the same line of argu-
ment. He tells the farmers that his bill
will raise the price of wheat. WAsHBURN
is a miller. Wheat is his raw material.
He must have it in his business of
making -four. The dearer it is. the more
his finished product costs him; the
more capital he must have in his bust
ness. The consumers have not yet be-
gun to kick because of the rise in the
price of their -four which this argu-
ment for the cons umption of the farm
ers makes certain, but when they do
the senator will follow suit with his
fellow manufacturers and assure them
that the competition among mlllers will
reduce the price of -four. But it beats
nature how many farmers there are
who actually believe that this miller is
honest in his professed desire to
raise the price Of his raw material,
their finished product. They don't
act on that principle in their
business; they know it would plaster
their farms with mortgages if they did.
But they gulp it down with eyes shut
when WAsHBURN and his miller.ele-
vator combine tell them that they pro-
pose to do business ON that line. BAR
NUM- rested his whole plan of business
on the theory that the Americans loved
to be humbugged. WAsHBURN and the
other protectionistS evidently agree as
to the sOundnesS of BARNUM'S views.

the Prison.

Thomas O'Connor. convict at the

three wears ago by Gov. Merriam. and
afterWard returned to prison for viOlat-
ing tine conditions of his pardon. will,
according to decision OF Judge Willis
ton, of the district court, be compelled
to remain there. O'Connor, through his
attorney, recently applied for writ of
habeas corpus to compel Warden
Wolfer to show by what right OConnOr
was deprived of his liberty. The matter
was tried by Judge Williston, and his
decision, rendered yesterday. covers
many pages of closely written legal cap
paper, and is in substance as follows:
That upon careful examination of
the matter, and in the absence of any
statute regulations, the governor had
the right to take the measures which he
adopted; that the reiator, prior to his
return to the state prison, had violated
the conditions of his pardon; that the
question of such violation is to be de-
termined by the court: that the relatOr
is not entitled to trial by jury of such
questions: that all questions touching
the legality of such Imprisonment are
properly before and to be determined
by this court in the proceeding" O'COn-
nOr's attorneys expected that this mat
ter would be decided adversely to the
relator, and have made preparations TO
carry it to the supreme court, which will
be done without delay.

Shows Much Progress.
CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-THE new home
rule bill of Gladstone was the leading
topic Of conversation among Chicago
IriShmen today. luanswer to request
for his opinion of the bill, Alexander
Sullivan said:
1.-The present bill is very much better
than the one which was introduced in
1856. don't see how any one protesting
to represent the best interests of the
Irish people can oppose it. True, it is
not all the people are. entitled to, but it
is step in the direction OF right. IL
this bill be accepted by the repre-
sentatives of the Irish people, then
enacted into law and then taken advan-
tage of, Irish progress will encourage
successors of Gladstone to do more.
If Gladstone, who was iailer of Irish
representatives. at so receut period,
can go thus far, his successors Will find
it easy to enlarge and extend his work.
To whatever extent the people enjoy
seif-goyernment the wisdom of extend
ing that right will be demonstrated. A
large number of the English are, or pro-
fesS to be, afraid of the experiment.
That fear will be proven groundlesS by
the practical test of such measure of
self-government as the Irish shall en-

CABINET ANNOUNCEMENT.

- ~
Whatever the feeling may be with
reference to Mr.. CLEvELAND's choice
OF four members of his cabinet, the gen
eraI expression must be that he proposes
to be the president, and i'll this respect
acts wisely. Mr.. CLEVELAND clearly
does not propose to make appointments
to further the interests of politicians: he
means to do so to please himself: and
since he is the party the country will
mold responsible for results, the people
will approve if these are favorable, no
matter what the politicians may have to
say about it. Nearly every Republican,
and many of the Democratic politicians
will criticise the appointment of
GRESHAM to the most important port
fo,D; but the people at large,
particularly in the West, will ap-
prove heartily. Mr.. GRESHAM is
a man whose principles arise from
honest convictions, and they are his
guiding star. This characteristic has
endeared the judge to the people. JOHN
q. CARLISLE is one of the ablest and
best men i'll the Democratic party. His
appointment was expected and gener-
ally approved long before it was an
nounced. A better man for secretary of
the treasury could not have been chosen.
WILSON 5. BIssELL, the postmaster
general, was CLEvELAND's Buffalo law
partner. He is a Democrat of life
standing and a very able man. No
fault can be found with his selection.
The choice of DANIEL S. LAMONT for
secretary of war may give rise to some
criticism. But Mr.. CLEVELAND is not
one TO go far aStray in such matters.
He has no coterie of friends to
reward regardless Of qualifications.
He knows DAN LAMONT for all he
is worth; and his long associations with
the gentleman would count for nothing
if he had not merit. LAMONT is Il
brilliant man, and the criticism must
arise from the feeling that he was so re-
Gently only the presidents private Sec
retary. This is very weak ground for
opposition.
MIR. CLEVELAND says there is no rea-
son for secrecy in his selection of cab
met officers, and that he will announce
them as he decides. This is a depart
ure from the usual tomfool method of
surrounding the selections with mys-
terry until the very last moment. Other
possible cabinet appointments are dis
cussed in the teIegraphic news. There
is no certainty as to the appointment OF
any OF those mentioned. and the rest of
the appointments must remain matters
of conjecture until Mr.. CLEVELAND
speaks.

Official Action of the Irish Parlia-
mentary Party.


LONDON, Feb. 14-William O'Brien,
member of parliament for Cork city,
said this morning, in an interview re-
garding the home rule:
at seems to me that the main princi-
Piles of the bill provide for a better set
tlement of the home rule question than
that of 1856. Our chief reservation is
on the financial proposals. Mr..
Sexton, Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Blake
and others of our friends fear that
the full extent of Irish local charges
have not been taken into account The
proposed contribution for the support
of police will involve formidable drain
for the first few years. IriShmen will
hold their opinions on such matters at
present and do the threshing out when
the figures are fully examined and un-
dcrstood. Nevertheless. the main lines
Of the bill are a noble and sufficient
settlement of the national claims. We
are able to heartily recommend irish
acceptance of the measure. it gives
substantial control over our domestic
affairs"
The following statement of the con-
tents of the home rule bill has been
officially handed to correspondent.
signed by John Dillon and Michael
Davtt:
The bill offers Ireland Legislature. a
free deal in all Irish affairs and an eX-
ecutlve government responsible to the
legislature. In all the main principles,
and in the political machinery, it is
provided much better than the bill of
1856. The Irish parliamentary party at
Il meeting specially summoned after the
| delivery of Mr.. GIadstone's great
speech, cordially accepted the new
| home rule constitution as satisfactory
scheme of Irish national Self-govern-
ment, subject.to endeavors in committee
to improve the proposed financial ar
rangement and to have the time short
ened wherin the land question is to be
withheld from the purview of the Irish
national legislature. We are author
| lied by the party to transmit this reso-
| luton to the friends and supporters OF
| Irish liberty in the United States and
| Canada"
| Mr.. Labouchere declares that he in
| tends to move as all amendment to the
home rule bill the exclusion of Irish
members from the imperial parliament.

proved Of their platform, one plank of
which demanded free coinage. AT that
time free coinage was nebulous
policy, in which only the central idea
of bimetallism was definite. When the
BLAND bill was presented Mr.. HARRIEs
felt that he was in honor bound to
vote for it to redeem the pledge he
had made, although he did not approve
of its principle. He might consistently
enough have claimed that it was not the
free coinage meant by the Alliance
plank. as he understood it; but this
would have looked like lodging, and he
/ preferred to keep faith, even at the sac
ritice of his Judgment.
He received his mination from
the Democrats, while the Alliance or
Pops, with characteristic ungrateful-
ness, nominated another man. He felt
that his vote had redeemed his pledge,
and the action of the Alliance was re-
lease from an unpleasant position, leav-
ing him free to vote as a Democrat. He
used the first chance to assert and enjoy
his freedom from his ''entangling alli-

BANGLES FROM A BRIDGE.
A Tennessee Mob Gives Short Shift
to Suspected Ravisher.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 14.-This
city is excited over an outrage COM
mitted this morning on Mrs. w. A.
Moore, a highly respected widow. by
a negro who found the lady alone
in the house. His victim is
fifty one years of age, and the
mother of seven grown children. A
negro named Andy Bloud was subse-
quently arrested on suspicion, but Mrs.
Moore is in doubt whether lie is the
man. Neighbors, however, believe
him guilty. The negro protests his
innocence and an investigation by a
number of leading citizens indicates
that he speaks the truth. At 1o:3O to-
night all infuriated mob battered down
the outer door of the county Jail and
finally forced their way into the
cell where Andy Blount was con-
fined. Despite the protests of the jail
officials and many leading citizens they
took the negro down to the bridge
which crosses the Tennessee river, and
mis- lifeless corpse now bangles from
one of the beams. Sentiment here is
almost evenly divided as to the mans
guilt.

EXECUTION COUNTS.
No Mere Legislation Can Help the
Farmers

No Mere Legislation Can Help the
Farmers.
S. M. Owen, commenting on grain
legislation, says in Farm, Stock and
Home.
NO mere law can do any good; the
faithfulneSS of its execution is the test
of its merit; 1t is good or bad, helpful or
otherwise, according to the manner of
executing it. The only states we ever
saw where no general complaint Of wheat
growers was heard was where there
there was no more law to govern the
selling and shipping of wheat than of
eggs, dried apples or dressed hog, and
we are strongly inclined towards the
same "lawlessness" in other states.
While the power rests in q great
wheat buying organization to make
a ''liSt price" that must be paid
to farmers, and that totally elimi-
mates competition from the business;
and while great railroad corporations
are interested in enforcing obedience to
the command of the ''list" maker, we do
not see how a law is to do any good that
does not strike at the roots of the evils
and is faithfully and vigorously exc
cuted. When railroads do not discrimi-
nate between shippers; when they pro-
vide the same facilities for shipping
grain they do for other freight, when it
is a matter of indifference which line Of
road farmers load of wheat is shipped
over, so the roads will have no interest
in compelling obedience to a ''llst
price," then we will need no grain and
warehouse laws; and while those factors
exist laws are of no account; so, there
you are.

CANADIAN CANAL TOLLS.
The New Rate to lie 10 Cents q
Ton Without Rebate.

Ton Without Rebate.
OTTAWA. Ont, Feb. 14.-This morn
ing an extra of the Canada Gazette was
issued in relation TO the canal tolls for
the coming season. The new regula-
tiOns are as follows: For the season of
1898 the canal tolls for the passage of
food products-wheat, Indian corn, peas,
barley, rye, oats, fiaxseed and buck
wheat-for passage eastward through
the Welland canal, will be 10 cents per
ton, and for passage eastward through
the st. Lawrence canal only 10 cents
per ton. Payment of the said toll of 10
cents per ton for passage through the
Welland canal to entitle the products
to free passage through the st. Law
renee canal. The new regulations are,
If anything, more favorable to Amer
leans than to Canadians, both in the
matter of discrimination and rates. Last
season grain passing through the We'll
land canal was charged 20 cents ton.
If it went through to Montreal the gov
ernment made a rebate of IS cents per
ton. This arrangement discriminating
against OgdenSburg, n. Y, all grain
reaching there being compelled to pay
the full rate of 20 cents per ton. The
new schedule practically increases the
rate Oh grain to Montreal from cents
to 10 cents per ton, the same rate to be
paid on grain unloading at OgdenSburg.
