THE FEELING IN LONDON.

New York, June 25.-The Evening
Posts London cable says: President
Carnots assassination depressed all the
markets here this morning, but a better
feeling was produced by the announce
ment that the Italian bourses had closed
to express their sympathy and the re-
port that the king of Italy would at
tend the funeral. The financial condi-
ton of America is viewed with some
alarm here, but a feeling predominates
that the worst is over"

thoughtful military students. This
impossibility appears to have re-
suited very largely from the ma
tional self-esteem which grew out
of the results of a great domestic
conflict through which the country
passed in the period of 1861 to
1865. The condition of the public
mind since that time has been that
OF confident invincibility against
any possible foreign attack. How
ever humiliating it may be to this
confident self-esteem it is neverthe-
less simple duty to point to the
great military lesson which is now
being taught to the world.

country has been suffering for old
junk for long time
Salt is free. Salt has been so
cheap anyway that no one was SD
poor as to kick about the price Of
salt, but English salt producers
wanted it free, so it is provided
for. This cuts the salary of our
laborers down to that of pauper
salt workers of England, as salt is
brought here as ballast, and, there
fore, free of transportation.
Turtles are admitted free.
Everybody can have turtle soup
from this date free of tax. As the
most of the farmers and laboring
men are in the soup by Legislative
enactments, this, will enable them
to get into turtle soup.
Wool is on the free list. This
will cut down the price of wool
and further reduce the profits of
farmers and stockraisers.
Snails are placed on the free list.
Taxing snails has been a burden on
the people for years. The Demo-
cratic congress comes to TIE front
and displays its love for the masses
by giving them free snails. This
justifies the endorsement of the
whole party.
Leeches come in free. As we
have a well assorted supply of
leeches already, native and manor
to the born, we can't say much in
favor of leeches.
Fish bait is also on the fire, list.
This was done as special compli
ment to Grover. He has been fish
ing with ordinary American bait
long enough. He demands i'm
ported bait. American bait is un-
sound. Grover must have English
gold standard bait; hence fish bait
goes free.
The few articles given above as
being admitted to this country free
of duty are sufficient to show that
the late congress was devoted to
the Interest of the farmer and the
labotiog people.
The reader is reminded that the
poor mans sugar was transferred
to the dutiable list.
This is the bill of which Hon. ID.
B. Culberson in his Sulphur
Springs speech said:
say that our new tariff bill is the
very best bill that has been passed
in forty years. 1t is better than
the Mills bill, and better by long
odds than the Mckinley law. 1t
1t has not had a parallel since 1857.
No, colonel, not PARALLEL for
fraud, pretense and humbug.-

Blessings Of Tariff.

The following is an extract from
a Washington letter to the South
ern Mercury, and you should read
it AMI learn how the tariff bill
throws great chunks of prosperity
into the back yards of the people:
| notice by glancing over this
tariff or revenue law that acorns
are admitted free. This will help
out the farmers of Texas. The
price of acorns will certainly come
down so that every family in the
country can have acorns three
times day, including Sunday.
1t will also be noticed that ashes
are admitted free. Now this is
glad tidings for every family
where the children have been cry
ing for ashes.
A very necessary article in every
family are bladders. Bladders are
relieved from taxation. Every
one can get all the bladders re-
quired now without paying any
duty on them. This will enable
the farmers to harvest all the wind
necessary to last them throughout
the year at very small outlay.
Democratic politicians should make
a note of this.
Dried blood is also added to the
free list. If anyo ne wants foreign
blood to put in his veins he can get
it now at a nominal cost.
Bones are also free. There is no
tariff on bones. Any person or
persons who uses bones, and they
are necessity in every family,
can get them free of duty.
Musk is also free. Every farm
er in Texas can keep himself per-
fumed with musk with very little
expense hereafter.
Nux vomica is also on the free
list. This enables the people to
throw up what they do not wish to
retain on their stomachs at very
limited cost.
Opium Is also free. Our Chinese
residents can hit the pipe now,
and any one who desires can form
''the habit" and not be required to
pay the government for the privi-
lege.
Diamonds and pearls are also on
the free list. These two articles
were admitted free for the special
benefit of the farmers. The shay
seeds" can procure diamonds for
their shirt fronts now without pay
ing tariff tax. No doubt but
that the farmers of Texas will take
advantage of this to lay in sup
ply of diamond and pearls.
Bird eggs are also free. What
a blessing this will prove to the
laboring man and farmer. The
farmer with mortgage on his
land can now procure ''settin" of
foreign bird eggs at rates that Will
justify him in engaging in the pro-
fitable business of producing birds.
Furs are also free. No longer
need the farmers wife go through
the winter without a sealskin
cloak. Only just think of Nancy
Jane taking an airing in the jolt
wagon over to the log meeting
house, tricked out in a sealskin
cloak. Oh, my!
joss sticks are also free of duty
in this bill. This will enable the
Chinese to get all the imported Joss
sticks they need.
OOld junk is clear of duty. This

This is Gen. Schofeld's Remedy
for All Ills.
HeProposes a Military Despotism.

HeProposes Military Despotism.
Washington, ID. c., Oct, H.
Maj. Gen. Schofeld has made to
the secretary of war his report on
the operations of the army during
the last year. Gen. Schofield, who
has been at the head of the army
since the death of Gen. Sheridan.
announces his retirement next
year. The report is principally
devoted to the discussion of the
necessity for Strengthening the
military arm of the government to
cope with internal disorder as well
as possible danger from without,
particular reference being made to
the Debs strike. The report says:
During large part of the year
the army has been employed in the
suppression of domestic violence,
which took the form in many cases
of forcible resistance to the exc
cution of the laws of the United
States, seizure or destruction of
property under the care of United
States officers and open defiance
of national authority. These dis
orders, at first local in their char
acter, spread at length to about
One-half in number and two-thirds
in area of all the states and terri
tories, excluding Alaska. So
widespread and formidable an in
surrection called for the vigorous
action dictated by the president.
AT the city of Chicago resistance
to- law assumed such formidable
proportions that it was necessary
to concentrate at that place nearly
all the army forces that could be
made available from all parts of
country, while on the Pacific coast
the navy department placed at the
disposal of the department COM
mander the naval and marine
forces at the Mare island navy-yard
and those forces rendered valuable
services. responsible duties thus
devolved upon the army depart
ment commanders were performed
by them and the troops under their
command in the most satisfactory
manner. The insurrectiOn was
promptly suppressed without any
unnecessary sacrifice of life in any
case.
The prompt and vigorous action
of the troops in all cases and the
great forbearance manifested by
them when subjected to all sorts of
insults and indignities designed to
provoke retaliation were worthy of
the very highest commendation.
They illustrated in a striking man.
ner the great value Ito a govern
ment of well disciplined force
at all times subject to orders of
that government for the enforce
ment of faithful execution of its
laws. an
STATE TROOPS NOT SUFFICIENT.
1t would seem unnecessary to
point out the fact that any force
like the militia of the state or the
police of city action primarily
under another authority, though
highly efficient in their appropriate
service, cannot be made q reliable
instrument for the prompt and eff
fective execution of the laws of
the United States. Manifestly,
every government should have en-
adequate force of its own for the
execution of its own laws, no less
than the Judicial and executive
uiiicers necessary for the same pur-
pose. a s }
The country is now for the first
time squarely confronted with the
necessity of making adequate pro-
vision, not only for defense against
any possible foreign aggression,
but also for defense against domes-
