The Hon. Bourke Cochran has the
courage of his convictions. When the
German tariff bill was present d to the
House for adoption he denounced it as a
misera BILE makeshift and declared that it
was no better than the Mckinley law,
even worse in that it gave protection in
spots while the Mckinley law did seek
to make protection general. This was
practically the tone of Mr.. Wilson's adj
dress at that Jims and of all the other
leading Democrats. They all declared
the German bill was accepted because it
was that or nothing, and they all avowed
their purpose of continuing the agitation
until protection was swept from the
statute book. Since then however the
tone of most of these men who were so
full of fight has changed They are now
having the hardihood to ask even for a
return to power SO that the German law
may be administered by it's friends.
They are singing very small in regard to
further tariff changes Not SO with the
Hon. Bourke Cochran. He still stands
where he did when he rose and de-
nounced the German bill He still de-
mands that the war on protection be
kept up and appeals to the voters to
elect q Democratic House in order that
his demand may be complied WITH
While the Democratic press, frightened
by the uprising against their party, are
protesting that no further tariff changes
are contemplated by the Democracy, Mr..
Cochran openly, in one of the largest
cities in New York, proclaims it to be
the intention of the party to sweep pro-
lection from the statute book. 1t is not
for us to decide which story is more
likely to be true, Mr.. Cochran's or that
of the Democratic newspapers. Indeed
there is no way to settle that except by
actual experiment. But if the expert
ment should show that Mr.. Cochran is
right the people will be subjected to
another tariff agitation and more bust
ness uncertainty when it is too late to
avert it. OF course, if people want to
make the experiment., they can do so by
electing a Democratic House. But il
they have had enough of tariff tinkering
if they have suffered enough from bust
ness uncertainty they will avert ali dan.

Chairman Faulkner of the Democratic
congressional committee, has sent out
stirring and touching appeal for
harmony. Mr. Faulkner says that
though for a time after the passage of
the German tariff bill there was danger
that the Democrats would lose the next
House, the Improvement since the
tariff bill has come to be understood is
marvellous" and now the Democratic
congressional committee is full of con-
fidence that the next House Will be
Democratic. Mr.. Faulkner's confidence
is. however, not of very large dimensions,
for he admits that the estimate of the
committee gives to the Democrats as
many congressman from New York as
they now have, and that if 1T should not
be realized there would be great danger
that the House would be Republican.
Apparently the Democrats have not been
able to figure out but two or three
Democratic majority at the best, and the
fractional fights in three Democratic dis
tricts, Mr.. Faulkner evidently very
much fears, will be sufficient to de-
stroy this.

were left without food or shelter, and as
the rail road bridges were burned it was
impossible to relieve them promptly. AT
Phillips, when the flames swept over the
town from the burning lumber, many peo-
pie endeayored to save their valuables and
house hold effects, and fingered so long in
the effort as to be cut Off from every ave-
nuc of escape except small lake, form

then rushed to the lake, and while some
succeeded in escaping, twenty are report
ed to have been drowned.
special train with provisions arrived
Sunday night. 1t was tie first material
relief to arrive and it came just in time
to keep the people from actual suffering
for want Of food. The provisions were
given ont in small quantities so as to
make them last long as possible and keep
something available until other provisions
arrived. Men and women walked the
streets, all begrimed, wringing their
hands and bemoaning their sad fate. One
church, town hall and few small build

for the destitude, but only few of the

ONE of the failings of human nature is
the desire to get something for nothing.
Mathematics prove that this cannot be
done. We may multiply nothing by any
number we please and it will be nothing
still. Common sense should teach US that
1t is impossible to get something for no
thing, but it does not do 80 in many cases.
Ii it did so lotteries would cease to exist;
fakirs would have TO 20 to work; gambling
houses would be closed; and the fishing
for suckers" through the newspapers
with their something for nothing" as bait
would have to be discontinued for the
want of suckers" to pay expenses. The
fact that all these things, and many more
of the same kind exist proves that the
fools are not all dead and that there is
enough people trying to get something for
nothing. As long as men can be found to
invest money in mythical western lots,
men will sell them. As long as men and
women try to get free washing machines,
free portraits, free books, free watches,
ETC., Just so long will these things exist
and continue their business of offering
something for nothing" and giving mo
thing for something" The sursst and
cheapest way is to buy Of those who charge
something for something. Ed.
