Congressman Dingley's speech on the
Wilson bill brought out with great force
the inconsistencies and inequalities of
that measure. Thus while the committee
claimed that one of it's virtues was that
it would cheaper food products, Con-
gresham Dingley showed the hollow
ness of this pretence by pointing out the
large duty on rice which had been re-
tanned for the benefit of Southern Demo-
carts. Iron when used to bind the cot
fton product of the South was free, Con-
gresham Dingley pointed out, but when
used to bind the hay product of the
North was taxed. Indeed Mr.. Dingley
showed that the bill had been construct
ed largely along sectional and not econ
omic lines

THE NEW JERSEY IMBRoGL1o.

There was never more unblushing
and indefensible attempt to steal control
of a legislative body than that which is
now going on at Trenton, New Jersey.
The Senate of New Jersey is composed
of-twenty-one members elected for three
years, about one third being chosen each
year Of the present Senate thirteen are
hold-over members and eight newly elect
ed. Of the thirteen nine are Democrats
and four Republicans. OF the eight
seven are Republican and one Demo-
crat.s In the full Senate, therefore, the
Republicans will have a majority of
one. The House is Republican by a
considerable majority. The constitution
OF New Jersey enables the legislature to
override the governors veto by mere
majority vote. Hence with both Houses
in possession of the Republicans any
measure which they agree upon can be
enacted into law in spite of the governor
who is a Democrat. 1t was this situation
and the threat of the Republicans to
abolish certain needless offices now filled
by Demo Gratis, which have precipitated
the existing conspiracy to steal the Sen
ate
If the full Senate were allowed to as
sembl it would be impossible to carry
out the Democratic scheme of getting con-
troll of it by unseating Republican mem
bers, for the majority of the full Senate
is composed of Republicans. Hence the
plan was Matched of getting together
the hold-over Senators, majority of
whom are Democrats, and organizing the
Senate before the admission of the new
Senators. This was done, the new Sen
ators being kept out by force. AS soon
as an organization was effected the Presi-
dent held that three of the newly elected
Republican Senators should not be Al
mitee appointed by himself, should
pass upon their credentials, with an ap-
peal to the courts in view. The seat Of
not single one of them is contested by
his opponent, but the Democrats have
had charges of corruption preferred
purpose of getting a pretext on which to
keep them out. The constitution of the
State makes each House the judge of the
qualification of its own members, so
that the Democrats in their desperate at
tempt to prevent the Republicans from
controlling the legislature have over
ridden the fundamental law. 1t is
pleasing to know that this dastardly
scheme is meeting strong opposition from
many of the leading Democrats of the
State. and that public sentiment is like
ly to compel the conspirators to call
halt

Washing Smoke.

The inventor of new method Of Danish.
ing the smoke nuisance from cities using
soft coal seems to have hit on a profitable
way of evolving the raw material Of two or
three industries. He simply washes the
smoke. First, the smoke is drawn from the
stack by powerful fan and then forced
through revolving cylinder into tank
filed with water. Perforated heaters are
affixed to the back of the cylinder, and
these drop into the water and scrub or wash
the smoke, which is conducted back into the
chimney in the form of a perfectly pure va
por. The solid carbon which is washed
from the smoke appears at the bottom of
the tank as a black, foaming froth. The
arrangement of the apparatus allows an
inspection Of the washing process and of
the vapor, which after being cleansed is
perfectly white and odorless, and is thrown
through the chimney into the air as steam.
It is an interesting fact that the black ex-
tract is admirably adapted for use in the
composition of paint and printing ink,
while the ammoniated water remaining
after the process of washing possesses the
properties of powerful disinfectant. st.

Remembrances of the Past.
To the Editor of the Press:

TO the Edat0r OF the Press:
Noticing in your paper of Thursday
the death of Mrs. Sarah Jane Clifford,
mother of the former editor of the
PRESS, called to my mind wildly the
remem ORANGES of the past
In 1929 the writer, then young minis
ter, scarcely out Of his teens, was ap-
pointed to Vassalboro circuit This cir
cult at that time embraced a large terri
tory. extending from the north line of
Augusta on the south, to Tuttle's Mills,
Canaan, on the north, and from the
Kennebec river on the west to China and
Vassal boro Pond on the east. Then the
unmarried minister found a home where
night overlook him. While this was gen.
orally true the writer had few places
where he left his books and other th ings
which he did not wish to carry around
in his saddlbags, where his laundry and
mending were done and where he found a
few days in three or four weeks where he
could rest and study. On this circuit
he had several excellent homes One was
at Mr.. McFadden's. the father and
mother of Sarah Jane. Theyywere most
excellent people, kind, intelligent, affec-
tionate, and where the writer found an
excellent home. Sarah Jane was then
a beautiful, Intelligent and amiable
She was the idol of the family. Though
amiable, intelligent and every way
lovely, yet she felt the need of an ex-
perrin entail acquaintance with the Saw
Jour- There was held that fall camp
meeting at Dresden nearly opposite to
where the meeting is now held in Rich
mond. To this meeting the members of
the church on the Vassalboro circuit
rallied III large numbers, and Sarah Jane
was among the number. At this meet
ing she sought and found the Saviour,
and returned to her home happy in her
new found love. 1t was my privilege to
receive her into the Methodist Episcopal
church of which she continued an hon
cred and useful member until recently
called to her home above. What your
notice says of her life and character is
true, and much more might be said.
Another of my homes was at Clark
Drummond's, the father of Hon. Josiah
H Drummond of our city. That was
another beautiful, lovely, intelligent
home.
Mrs. Drummond and Mrs. McFadden l
think were sisters. Josiah H was then a
little boy. The writer used to take him
upon his knee Che could hardly do it
now and tell him Bible stories, and
impress upon his young heart the i'm
portance OF being good if he would be
great and useful. How far that early
instruction contributed to his honor and
success the writer may not know here,
That was one of the hest neigh borhoods
extending from Getchel',s Corner on the
river to Winslow, that I have ever
found on extended travels. But time
has changed the inhabitants. Nearly all
that were. in middle life, as also nearly
all the young ssof that day, have gone
There were many other homes on that
circuit of which there is grateful re-
membrance. The writer was then young
and vigorous; now aged and enfeebled,
laid aside by age and sickness from the
activities of Former years. But the re-
mem brance of those days is pleasing.
There is better land where age and
infrmity are unknown.

It seems that, the italian mission
which Van Allen declined only drifted to
McVeagh after it had been offered to
three or four prominent Democrats and
rejected. John E. Russell, of Massachu-
setts, Ex-Mayor Cooper, of New York,
and Larry Neal, of Ohio, were all urged
to take it, but said no. Gresham was
not consulted in the selection of
McVeagh, and if he had been the proba-
bility is that he would have objected,
for it is now recalled that some years ago
Gresham made a severe personal attack
on the Philadelphia in a judicial opin-
ion, in consequence Of which the relations
of the two men have been very much
strained ever since. Indeed the enmity
between them is so bitter that McVeagh
will not call at the State department. for
his instructions, but will ask that they
be sent him by mail.

we favor the reasonable amount of pro-
lection accorded in the Wilson bill We
are not bound rigidly to its schedules
here. We have no doubt that protection
might be less with entire safety in sew
eral instances and we are willing to ad-
NIT that 1t might be more, perhaps in
some others. That bill accords a consid-
cradle amount of protection. Boston
Herald.
But if protection is robbery, as de-
c1ared by the Democratic platform, how
can any amount of it be reasonable? If
it is unconstitutional, as declared by the
Democratic platform. how can any
amount of it be legal? The mandate of
the people in 1892 was command to
bring the tariff to arevenue-only basis, if
it was anything. 1t certainly was not
a command to set up new system
of protection, differing from Nc
Kinley' protection only in being less
general, and discriminating more in
favor of certain classes, and more
against certain other classes. The labor
ing men who work in coal mines didn't
vote for Cleveland and tariff reform in
the idea that the reform contemplated
was the taking of the protection from
coal and keeping it ON manufactured
goods. They were not told that such
reform as that was contemplated. What
they and all other working1nen were told
was that protection on everything was to
be removed and a tariff laid for revenue
only. They were told that the robbery
of certain classes nv certain ethan al
which Democrats said the Mckinley bill
permitted and fostered, was to be stopped.
Instead of that the robbery is to be con-
tinued with this difference, that the
number of the robbers is to be reduced
and.the. number of the robbed increased
The manufacturers are to be given a
monopoly OF the robblng BUSINESS.

"The world is growing better" said a
railroad conductor on the Maine Central
the other day as he came into town.
Il have been on the road good many
years, and I never knew any horse, COW,
sheep, colt or other living thing killed
by train that was not the best one in
the owners fiocks and herds. This
morning we killed COW on the track.
We had to haul up and the man came
out to see US. He looked at the COW and

is better off where she is. She warn'r
no good to me nor 2 anybody else. She
wouldn't do nothing but jump fences
and eat hay. It's a good job, and it
wont cost the road more'n what she'd
been worth for beef For this reason

not require any very vivid fight of

ties of fifty-fold return consequent up-
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life

on something more pleasing to the eve

In the nomination of Judge Howe Of
SPHINX county for governor the populists
have made a representative and q good
choice, but from the selection Of candi-
dates for congress we may readily infer
that the radicals were in the saddle
when it came to the nominating busi-
ness. Messrs. Kelley and Knowles re-
present the extreme OF all that is blat
ant in the proposed legislation of pop
ulism. What the convention could be
thinking OF in nominating such back
numbers for that important position Is
hard to understand aud can only Do ex-
planned away on the hypothesis that
their election is not really desired and
that they will be used, as much OF the
rest OF the ticket is intended to be, as
trading stock TO secure a populist legis-
lature. There were so many other ADLER
and more conservative men in the pop
ulist party that could have been nomi-
mated, that the choice OF these W raises
at once the question Of sincerity or san
ity Of the convention. The inference
from the conventions action points very
strongly to the conclusion that even the
populists would prefer to see the next
congress in the hands of the republicans
rather than in the hands OF a combina-
ton of democrats and populists.
Editor Bronson, of Howard, for lieu
tenant governor, would have been an ex.
cellent choice for any other position than
that Of a presiding officer, but the empty
honor of being on the ticket might as
we'll fall to him as to any n else. He
is q worthy man. And SO OF the rest of
the ticket: j. K. Johnston. of Dawson,
for secretary Of state; JET. b. Wynn, of
Yankton, for treasurer; E. b. Reed, Of
Pennington, for auditor; Fl. p. Smith, ct
Lake, for commissioner OF school and
public lands; L. p. Null, OF Beadle, fer
attorney general; j. K. Failing, Of Hand
for superintendent OF public instruction;
J. NJ. Booker, OF Fall River, for commits
sioner of labor statistics; and for rail
road commissioners: Mackelfresh. Of
the Black Hills, j. E. Hotter, OF
Lincoln, and o. W. Cochrane, Of
Day. Many " of these men are
not much known, and perhaps it is
better for the ticket that they are not.
The platform upon which they have TO
run also weighs them down and the
mixture of contradictory positions, on
tariff reform, prohibition and woman
suffrage Even Senator Kyle was
severely rebuked, and il the populists of
South Dakota have any consistent line
of political thinking, they certainly fail
ed to express it in the state convention.
