Abroad cremation Seems to have taken
a stronger hold Upon the public than in
this country. Cremation societies are
numerous. and many of the cities and
large towns have crematoriums. The
Parisians, always eager for new SEN
satlon. have adopted cremation with un-
wonted CELEBRITY, and the crematOrium
erected at the Cemetery of Pere la
Chase has already been found to be too
small. Additions are being made. aud a
third furnace, large hall and a column
barium will soon be ready for use. The
latter somewhat resembles the Campo
Santo of Genoa, and will contain 10000
receptacles for ashes. These inches are
closed with slabs of marble, on which
| Inscriptions may be cut.
Some Frenchmen are, however. in
clined to regard the subject humoro us
ly. as witness what Daudet has sa id:
LAS to being buried or cremated, L m ust
say that either one would be exceeding
! ly diSagreeable to me.'
And here is Henri de Bornier: ITO
be reduced to pulp or ashes after my
death, l would rather not make my
choice just now. prefer being carried
| off like Prophet Elijah, upon fiery
| chariot. Get me appointed prophet,
although don't banker after it just at

! chariot for me-

In the United States there were, at

| ties and crematories, at Fresh Pond, l..
l.; Detroit. Boston. st. Louis. Buffalo.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore.
Pittsburg, Troy. WatervIlle. N. Y;

Wis. and Washington. Pa. Since the
first incineration in this country-that

1S79-there have been only few over
5000 bodies cremated here, compare
lively Insignificant number, which is
| sufficient proof that the rural cemetery
is not likely to pass out of vogue for
many generations to come, if ever.

A judicial Change.

On January 9th, 1891, Judge G
Webb Bertram ceased to be Judge O.
the 18th Judicial district. and Hon. A
@. L. Geiger succeeds to bis duties
We wish for Judge Geiger the same
hearty endorsement by the people II
the functions Of his judicial duties
that Judge Bertram received. A steI
from the bench to the advocate at The
bar is but a short step. The duties
are nearly similar and the change
hardly noticeable by the individual,
He continues to weigh both sides Of
the question at issue with impartial
candor. OF Judge Bertram might be
said what Senator Hoar said of Chas.
Summer; HE was full of himself"
not in sense Of vanity but of learn
ing and logic. He meyer gave an
opinion hastily. He did not try to be
termed "hippant," but when his far
seeing legal mind had weighed q
question Of law, or evidence, the bel
ligerent attorney after hearing his
opinion capitulated without condi-
tions. His courts were conducted
with the plebian simplicity that made
every gentry Of the cornfeld" feel
that in the court he had a silent advo-
cate at least that was ever mindful Of
his rights, Hauteur and stiffness
was unknown. The poor man felt
accesslbly near at all times. The cost
OF term Of court to the county emit
cred into all his plans. He felt that
excessive taxation was needless taxa
ten, that public officer should jeal-
ously guard the public treasury, for
the people were already burdened by
oyer taxation. Ante election utter
ances concerning public officers who
are for reelection may sometimes be
overdone, but the calm candor Of an
election utterance springs from true
estimate Of the man. In the admin
tration Of his official duties, he worked
as if he felt that we owe to life our
best efforts. His extra judicial quail
tiles of mind, his acute observation
and unanswerable logic, made the at
torney feel that if his point was not
we'll taken he had been learned by the
able disquisition Of law and logic that
the question had brought forth.
Paint Judge Bertram coming into the
court room with stately aud dignifed
mien, with his heart in his work.
Paint him delivering the instructions
to the jury in clear, concise, unbi-
ased manner, or patiently reasoning
with an attorney who was disposed to
argue a spurious motion; or paint
him in summing up the verdict, with
that faultless logic, unerriDg precis-

more Importance than any national

protectve-hGs iuvar ably declined
to be- a democrat.
"What l want" said he, "and what
New England wants is FREQ raw ma.
teriaIs."
That, being translstod into business
English, meant tbut Mr.. Ames want
ed FREQ iron aud free coal for his
shovel words. Then he could lake
shovels cheaper, and if the high pro-
tective duties remained on tho fin
ished shoyels and plows sent over
from England, OF course he could
make larger profits,
And now the democrats hava come
into power and drawn up q tariff bill
after Mr., Ames' own heart with froo
iron and free coal for leading fea-
lures and still Mr.. Ames il not
happy.
Why moi?
He yearnedfor FREQ raw materials,
and here they are. Yet he walls, and
is more discontented than before
What is the matter with Mr.. Ames?
Why, Just this: lie wanted free
iron and free coal, and thera he
wanted freedom to stop. That was
commercial liberty enough for Inn.
But the democratic tariff bill,
drawn by southern statesmen who
want more free things that Mr.. Ames
was contemplating, has put the pro
tective duties on finished manufac
lures of iron and steoi-including
shovels and agricultural implements
generaliy-away down, besides free
ing coal and iron.
That is why Mr.. Amcs Of Massa
chusetts is sad, That is why he has
been interviewed and why be has de-
nounced poor Wilson's bill as fool 81
and predicted that it will not pess.
So we see the tariff really is a good
deal of a local issue in Massachusetts,
too.

loud at Gen. Hancock. Colorado

merge the present postoilice service
into itself as the railway has merged
the old public highway. True, peo-
pie may still be permitted to employ

Just now no order forbids their use Of
the old deserted highways, but GUS
tom will abolish the one and adopt
the other as completely as though the

when we go back into a study Of tho

idea Of the consequences to us il the
real monopoly of the highways by the
merger into railways, 1t is, so far as
the public is concerned, equivalent to
complete prohibition of their free
use Of the highway, just as the adop-
ton Of the present postal service was
equivalent to complete abolition Of
the old.time message.carrying by IN

NOT so FUNNY.
"The Tariff is q Local Issue"

When The late General Hancock
was running for the presidency in
1880 he was caught one day by IN IN.
terviewe r who asked him to say sorne-
thing or the tariff question.
"The tariff question is local is
sue" W as the gallant soldiers rep. Y.
1t we s published, and the who q
country went into conyulsious of
laughte r. 1t was considered the best
joke OF the campaign. The Funny
paragra pliers lived on it for weeks.
The con lie papers made cartoons ON
it by tho dozen. Tt helped more than
any othe n speech that was made on
either side Of the contest to elect Gar
fold and defeat Hancock.
"The tariff question is a Local is
SUE"
Gen. Hancock is dead, says the
New York Recorder, but what he said
was true, in certain sense, too, even
if we did laugh him out Of cou nte-
nance for saying it.
The tariff bill Of Wilson's, for ex-
ample, is already seen to be thi ug
of local issues, a patchwork quilt d g.
signed to cover all the conflicting in
terests in the states which have bee. |
heretofore ranged in the democratl G
column, or which it is hoped to cap
ture and place in that column in
1896.
In Louisiana the tariff is local is
sue. The sugar growers so regaI d
it. They think tariff reform and frt ,e
raw materials are we'll enough for tn Q
national platforms and other youn, :
industries located in republican states.
But when it comes to Louisiana and
the sugar plantations-well, as Han
cock said, it is local issue.
In West Virginia and Alabama the
tariff is a local issue, too. The new
iron and coal industries that have
sprung up in those states within the
past fifteen years have made it 80.
The Alabama and West Virginia
democrats who are interested, with
their working people, in the coal !
mines and iron mills that have been \
founded on republican protection (
think it Is all very we'll to put the old
"for revenue only" drivel into the
party platforms, and that it may do
no harm to apply it to wool in Ohio,
There is a great deal to be SAID, as
the West Virginia and Alabama tariff
reformer looks at the question, in ia
vor of free wool. Wool is different
from iron. Wool is soft; iron is hard.
Wool does not have to be mined;
iron does. Moreover, wool is staple
article of clothing, and iron is not.
The poor plain people, the masses,
the general body of consumers-for
whom every tariff reformer's heart is
when he thinks of the tariff
on wool making clothing so dear for
the poor people (which, by the way, it
does not do not need iron goods to
keep them warm.

Ter" all the time for free raw materi-
ais Except when a tariff bill is being
drawn up by democratic ways and
means corlmittee) would, Of course,
want free iron and free coal.
Would they?
Not much, they wouldn't.
How do | know that?
know it because Wilson of West
Virginia, the father of this hermaph-
rodite tariff bill--which is neither a
masculine protective measure nor a
feminine free trade one-is catching
several kinds of Remuneration from
his constituents, aud receiving end
less abuse from Alabama, besides. for
having put coal and iron on the free
list.
You see, the tariff question, as Han
cock said, is a local issue in West Vir-
gina and Alabama, as we'll as in Lou
isiana.
Now turn to Massachusetts and lis
ten to ex-Gov. Ames. He has been
quoted to us for many years past as a
republican who was not a Mckinley
lite. He was Tor moderate tariff
with much lower rates than those of
the act of 1890
Moreover, Mr.. Ames wanted some
free raw material.
This has been the New England
form of the free trade measles. 1t is
a very mild variety of the disease
Not at all identical with the original,
old-fashioned Calhoun free trade
measles, which broke out all over for
low tariff on everything, and espec.

are made in New England.
