Under the highest protection
ever known wool is down to fifteen
cents a pound. If the tariff had
anything to do with the price, it
could never reach this figure even
under absolute free trade. The his
tory of the price of wool shows that
it has brought the highest price
under the lowest tariff, and we now
see it selling for the lowest price
when the tariff is the highest.
From this statement of facts, which
indeed can't be disputed, it appears
that causes, other than the tariff
control the price of wool, Republic
cans claims to the contrary.-Inder

CALCUTTA, May 29.-In addition to
the loss Of 200 lives by tho bursting of a
dam. formed by a landslide in Clark
kupri. Kulu, and the destruction of live
stock and dwellings. which accompanied
it, disastrous floods have wrought much
damage in North Cacliar.
The Jetinga has overfowed its banks
and has inundated an area Of hundreds
of miles. The result of this humiliation
has been tremendous loss Of property
and in addition the loss of life is believed
to be enormous. Whole villages have
been destroyed in nnm Der of sections
of the hood-visited country. The flood
is pronunced to be the most severe in
many years.
A dispatch to The Times from Cal

The Coxey armies, with their de-
mands for work, wages and boun-
ties, it is seen are the Legitimate and
logical following of those other
armies, representing trusts and mo-
nopolies, that made their way to
Washington, generally in Pullman
palace cars, and succeeded in writ
ing their demands in the tariff laws
from that of 1864 to the Mckinley
law of 1890. They got what they
went after. They demanded that
the taxing power of the government
should be used for their individual
interests, and the demand was con-
coded.

Cumberland, Md, is stronghold
of Republicanism, and that party has
had control of the municipal affairs
of the city for the past twenty years,
but on Monday OF last week the
Democrats carried the city by over
400 majority, electing the Mayor
and majority of the Councilmen.
If town elections mean anything, as
the Republicans claim they do, then
this is a straw that shows which
way the Democratic wind is blow
ing. Republicans who affect to be-
lieve that the Democratic party is
"gone to the devil" will find that
the grand old party is still here in
the United States, and ready to
give the Republicans battle.

lIagnIfying Coxey.

The Washington police judge who
sent Coxey to Jail for Displaying a
banner ON the capitol grounds, and
fined him for walking on the capitol
grass was a Judicial chump.
Coxey leading a crowd of beggars
and cranIs was harmless, but Coxey
in Jail will get the sympathy and
endorsement of many people who
would not have noticed him if he
had been left alone by the author
tiles, or released with the warning
not to do it again.
The action of the judge in refus-
ing to allow coxey to pay fine for
displaying the banner was unnec-
essarily severe. To lock him up
for that offense suggests the idea
that he is something more than a
crank or a tramp-that he is, in
point of fact, a rebel against the
government, and that the republic
is in danger when he is at large.
Undoubtedly, he lisa foolish fell
low, but he has run against set of
authorities who are fully as foolish
as he is, and it is to be feared that
there are numerous others of the
same sort occupying high official
places.
In dealing with the Coxey bust
ness we need officials whose common
sense, good humor and humanity
will temper such justice as they may
be called on to administer. The
government can maintain peace and
order without going into Mysteries
when few of its citizens enter the
capitol grounds with banner bear
ing none but peaceful notices.

Sugar and ".the Pop.Gun Bills

OF the "pop-gun' bills which have been
sent to the Senate by the House OF Repre-
sentatives the strongest is that which
proposes to put sugar on the free list.
"a free breakfast table, Is desired by
Every family in the land, excepting only
those who receive dividends from the
Sugar Trust.
Whenever a fair, square. straightout
vote il taken In the Senate, sugar Will
be put on the free list-unless, indeed, II
can be made clear that the government
must have the millions of revenue which
u tariff on sugar will produce.
Something, much perhaps. is due to
Louisiana. and people generally would
not mind the making of reasonable con-
cessions to sugar planters provided that
the Sugar Trust is not thereby enriched.
To put sugar on the free list at one
Stroke and not to pay the bounty for
us year would be a dreadful misfortune
u the planters who borrowed money to
pitch their crops with full faith that
they would get the bounty this year, as
they have done every year since the
mckinley bin was passed. Besides. those
senators who persuaded their Louisiana
brothers TO support the Senate bill are
under obligations to stand by Louisiana
a. far as they may properly do so-without
putting Congress and the country at the
feet OF Havemeyer & Co.
What the people ask Is that the letters
which bind them to the Sugar Trust may
be broken. and that "a free breakfast
table" may follow as soon as possible.

A Notable Precedent.

There is no telling to what the action OF
the House of Representatives on Monday
on the Senate tariff bill will lead. 1t Is, in
deed a notable precedent. 1t will have
to be watched with Jealous eye, or 1t
may produce results as unexpected as
ever any decision of the United States
Supreme Court produced. We have no
fault to find with the House of Represen-
tatives. Indeed, we do not see how that
body could in any other way have ex-
tricated itself from the slough into which
it had fallen. We might claim that we
called ten days ago for action by caucus
If action by the conferrees could not be
secured. Nevertheless. the precedent. we
repeat, is notable one. II the House OF
Representatives had the right TO do what
il did on Monday, the Senate, under SINH
lar circumstances. would have the right
to do likewise.

Judge Morrison Declines.

We announced yesterday in our news
columns that Judge Morrison had declined
the nomination for Congress In the Ninth
District.
We were not at all surprised to hear
the fact. He would have been accounted
an unworthy son Of the honored old
Commonwealth of Virginia II he had
accepted a nomination which was clearly
rendered him under a msapprehension
of the facts Of the case We stated these
facts yesterday. Suffice 1t to say. Judge
Morrison was nominated by minority of
the lawful delegates to the Congressional
District Convention. and. having been 80
nominated. declines the honor and makes
way for a reassembing Of the convention.
We have not word to say as to
whether Judge Morrison, or Mr.. Marshall,
or some new man. ought now to be nomi-
mated. The honor Of Virginia Is satisfied.

The news from Chicago In yesterdays
papers touching the return to work OF
the Pullman strikers indicates the Total
collapse OF the strike. and may also In
dicate that there will be no strike OF that
sort hereafter, either In Pullman or else
where.
We said few days ago that II was a
sad AFFAIR. The strikers gained nothing
whatever by their movement. They did
learn. however. that the whole power OF
the Federal Government, as well as that
Of the State governments. may be relied
upon hereafter to prevent strikers from
unlawful proceedings In their efforts to
have their wIges raised or to prevent
them from being lowered. Not that We
admire The conduct OF Mr.. Pullman or
the Pullman Company; for we thought he
and his advisers were too uncompromis-
ing; but because the absence OF law and
order Will ruin any country.
The workmen at Pullman-the old
hands-the strikers Themselves recollect-
tumbled themselves and besieged the
gates Of the workshops on Monday. Some
two thousand OF them are probably at
work now.

Specimen Extracts.

II Is amusing to read the comments OF
the New York papers on the coup detat
Of Monday. The Herald declares that
under compulsion of the darkest and
foulest conspiracy in the annals Of any
nation, the House of Representatives has
passed the Senate tariff bill"
The Tribune says:
1.-The last extreme of disgrace has been
accepted by the decision of full Demo-
cratic caucus and by the action OF the
Democratic House"
Yesterday. the House Democrats. with
Mr. Wilson's consent and the implied APP
prevail OF Mr.. Cleveland, voted In caucus
by the Overwhelming majority OF 100 to
q TO abandon Democratic principles as
defined by Mr.. Cleveland. to betray
Democratic pledges as interpreted by Mr..
Cleveland, 10 commit what he described
as party perfidy, and to incur the party
dishonor against which he warned them.
A few hours later the House adopted the
Senate bill ~ a vote of ISL to los. The
surrender of the House to the demands Of
the Senate protectionists is abject and I'M
conditional"
These are specimens only, but they
serve TO show that the New York papers
are at sea on this subject.

There were many cases on the docket
of the Police Court yesterday. The audi

as that which attended the proceedings on
the day previous to listen to the testi-
mony in the case of the mysterious MUIR
der of Robert Lewis (colored), whose wife
was sent to the grand jury on the charge
of being an accessory TO the crime. Yes
terday the principal cases heard were
those of the saloonists charged with vio-
lating the Sunday laws. Lewis Belts
pleaded guilty. and was fined $50 and
sent on to the grand jury. A case not
being made out against Taylor & Wright

resides IN Fulton and who was arrested
several days ago on the charge OF cruelty
whining her adopted child, was given
hearing by the Justice yesterday. Ihe
COMPLAINT in this case was lodged by
Mrs Ruffin, one Of Mrs. Grants nelgh-
bors. The juvenile in question is z years
of age. and has been living with the
Grants about six months. Several wit
nesses stated that they had heard WHIP
ping being administered to the little girl
many times, and they considered that she
had been cruelty treated.
ROUGH TREATMENT.
When the case came up about a week
ago, Coroner Taylor was requested ny the
Justice TO make an examination of the
child, and report to the Court. Or. ray
lor when placed on the stand yesterday
testified that he found two bruises-one
circular in form on the left shouider'
and another on the middle OF the shoui-
blade-upon the little girl. coroner
TAYLOR said he thought the child had been
subjected to rougher treatment thah one
of her tender years should have been.
DR. Johnson. the family physician, testi-
ned as to the good character and
worthiness Of Mrs. Grant and that she
merely whipped the little one as mat
ter of correction. After some further IN
vestigatlon, the Justice dismissed the
case. admonishlng the woman to be very
careful how she administered punishment
to the child, as he did not desire TO take
the little one away from her.
