A BOOMERANG.

A dispatch from Washington says that
Secretary Carlisle is preparing regula-
tions to carry into effect Section of the
new tariff law for the manufacture in
bonded warehouse of materials imported
and manufactured for export.
"The new law enlarges the class Of
goods that can be SO manufactured in
bonded warehouses, and among the
more important is tobacco This new
| provision of the law, it is said, has given
a great impetus to the cigar trade, and
a new field has been opened in Europe
| for the sale of American cigars made
from imported tobacco. 1t also opens a
field for labor. and it is estimated that
10000 eople will be given employment
in the differe mt large American cities"
1t will be noticed that there are many
sit is saids' in the above dispatch, and
it is evident that the Democratic leaders
are endeavoring to prove that the new
tariff law will be q benefit to the manu.
featuring community.
But The News does not believe that
there will be any great rush to take ad-
vantage of this provision.
The Mckinley bill contained similar
provisions. Material of any kind could
be imported into this country and the
dnty paid would be repaid less one per
cent. If the materials thus imported
were made into export goods,
thus practically giving free
raw materials for export compeli-
tion during the entire existence of the
Mckinley act, and yet few manufacture
ers Of any kind chose to avail them
selves of this opportunity to obtain free
raw material.
And THE News does not anticipate
any greater "impetus" TO be given TO
trade under the new law which is not a
whit more generous than the Mckinley
law.
OF course, attempts are being made
by the desperate Democratic leaders TO
deceive the people aud to present glow
ing statements OF increased benefits, but
like the one just quoted above, it will be
seen that they are only trying to deceive
the public, BY pretending to have be-
slowed benefits which were already con-
ferred by the Republican tariff. 1t is
an old trick and it generally succeeds
until it is exposed and then it reacts like
a boomerang.

with some OF the Representatives, voted
against the measure that finally passed.
There is intense disapproval of several
incidents in the State administration for
the past three years. Widespread cor
ruption and systematic blacknail in one
department of the city government have
been disclosed, and ignorance, ineffi-
cheney and wastefulness, if nothing
worse, are known to exist in Others.
IAN unpromising situation is not made
better by shutting the eyes to it. The
Democratic party of New York will
need to display rare circumspection, true
courage and honest and high devotion

The World gains by such a frank
statement. 1t not only wins the respect
OF its opponents, but it lends to it's words
OF warning an impressiveness that its
party dares not ignore. Ii believes that
its party should learn the true facts in
the case rather than have the defeat
CLOSED over and made light of, and its
conduct is greatly to its party's advan-
tage.

or cover up a bad state of affairs merely
to soothe the feelings of those most in
terested. The surgeons knife, to use
trite expression, though terrible in
strument is kinder than neglected.
wound, and while it cuts, it performs a
service that the whole body receives
gratefully, in spite of the pain.
But whether The Worlds blunt state
ment will have any effect upon its party
is question.
The evils it complains of still exist,
and the only way to remove them is to
follow the example of the Maine Demo-
Gratis.
And THE News believes that this will
be done. 1t believes that New York will
show the biggest Republican majority
ever witnessed.

AN HONEST ADMISSION.

The New York World does not try Ia
explain away the significance of the Maine
election, but comes right out fat-footed
and says its little say with candor that
Is as astonishing as it is refreshing. The
World says that 1.-The truth in regard to
Maine is that the Republicans have won
an unprecedented victory. 1t surpasses
Republican expectations and far exceeds
Democratic fears.
THAT they did this not so much by in
creasing their vote--they have polled more
in former elections--as by the failure of
Democrats TO go to the polls does not
alter the fact or greatly change its
meaning. Party men. do not stay at
home on election day without reason
and purpose The Maine Democrats
refrained from voting in great numbers
because they are profoundly dissatisfied
with the course Of their party at Wash
ington. The long dilly-dallying over
the tariff to the serious injury Of bust
ness. and the final enforced surrender 20

combines, caused revulsion Of feeling

TRY A CIVIL OFFICER.

A young Catholic couple provided with
q marriage certificate went to a local
Protestant clergyman yesterday and asked
him TO marry them. The minister asked
why they didn't go to one of their own
priests, and was somewhat provoked by the
reply that the ceremony of tho Catholic
Church was SO binding that divorce was
impossible afterward. The Protestant as
sured them that his ceremony meant
fully as much as any other and refused to
marry people who looked upon the mat
ter in such frivolous way.

NAMES FAULTY BALLOT LAW

Some years ago when the demand for
the Australian ballot system was sweep
ing over the land the State of Maine
adopted it. 1t has never worked salts
faciorily in the Pine Tree State for some
reason or other and thousands have dis
franchised themselves by casting i'm
perfectly marked ballots.
There were several papers. notably the
Bangor Whig. the Portland Express and
the Bath Times. which vigorously op-

DOESN'T WORRY ANY.

"To find person qualified to fill Mr..
Williams position. remarks Postmaster
George, may take several weeks time.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Williams will
continue to discharge the duties Of his
office"
The postmaster evidently isn't worry
ing about that conspiracy.

JONES, THE MAN OF MOUTH.


Yesterday the postmaster of Providence
recei we'd notification from Washington
of the discharge of James A. Abbott, a
veteran letter carrier in his department,
and a request that the postmaster also
remove Assistant-Postmaste Charles IL.
| Williams.
The grounds alleged for this action
were 4" irregularities, the discovery Of
which is due to astute-and Democratic
inspectors from Washington.
OF course there is nothing in the
record OF Democratic civil service to
give any cause for surprise at the sum
mary removal of employees of
any department of government
and 1T was quite unnecessary
Tor the authorities at Washington
To- vouchsafe any explanation. The
authority at Washington in this in
stance, however. is man Of the name
of Jones-Frank Jones. He is the au-
thority in the absence of Postmaster
General Bissell, and two or three others
who have. one by one, got out from un-
der their official cares, until, by almost
imperceptible stages, the vast machine
of the United States Post Office has
dropped with "A dull and unmitigated
thud on the shoulders of Jones.
Now, Jones, is a man with very
large mouth. 1t measures eight and
three-quarters inches from east to west,
four and one-half inches from north to
south and has capacity of 16S 1-5
cubic inches measured by gas meter.
Jones, finding aimself the acting post
master general, proceeds to act by
taking measures for the purifcation of
the Providence postoffice. and then he
works his mouth TO explain why he did
it. According to the transcript of the
droppings from his lips, as made in the
columns of THEs%Ews' esteemed morn
ing contemporary, this Jones is a rip
tearer at explaining and perfect pud-
ding for the newspaper interviewer who
gets paid by space.
In the first place, Jones mouth ex-
poses the fact that Williams and Abbott
have been at the head of gigantic con-
spiracy to defraud Uncle Sam. Nor is
that all. The conspirators worked their
families into the employ of the Govern.
ment--just as Senator'S and Cabinet
officers employ their sons and daughters
as private secretaries. That is the end
OF the explanations so far as they affect
the officials Immediately concerned, but
as the Jones mouth is not yet tired, it
proceeds to give dissertation on the
value of honesty and the rewards of
virtue in the postal service.
''If they are honest" says Jones, re-
ferring to postal employees in general
with one wide paternal sweep of his
mouth-'if they are honest they need
fear nothing, even though the post
master be dishonest. If any man be
unjustly dealt with the postoffice de-
partment will hear his case. Let him
resent every bribe, resist and defiantly
refuse the demands of his superiors in
such schemes |"
Brave words these from Mr.. Jones'
mouth. And then Jones goes on to tell
what lot of reforms have been made in
the postal service since "Me and Bissell |
and Cleveland took hold of things"
All this information is very interest
ing, and suggests that a man with free
working mouth like Jones' ought to
abandon the postal service aud sell
catarrh medicine at the country fairs.
