IN AN interview at Washington be- fore accepting renomination from his West Virinia constituents Professor William L. Wilson made the lapse of admission that the intention of the tariff reformers is to "reach" Ameri- can industries and cripple them. InTe- sponse to an inquiry if the resumption of the tariff agitation next winter would not cause q recurrence of busi- ness unrest he asserted bluntly that there need be no general bill reach ing all industries" But it is a great patriotism which wishes to "reach' home industries, in intsead of endayor- ing to build them up,

BOUNTY FOR scALps.

During the French-Indian war of l754 the French offered bounty for British scalps. In the same year bounty of el00 each wasi offered by the authorities of the several colonies. In l755 Massachusetts, granted boun- ty of Ei0 for every scalp of male In- dian over 12 years of age and e20 each for the scalps of women and children. In lT64 John Penn, grandson of Will liam Penn, and Governor of Pennsyl- vania, offered a bounty of el50 for ey- cry "lndian buck killed and scalped. -lSt. Louis Republic.
 And the states where the early set tiers paid bounty for scalps of Indians now organize Indian Rights Associ- ations to add to the deyilment the Indians on the frontier may perpe- trate upon defenceless settlers. It is in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania that the Indians Rights Association has it's strongest following. Doubtless many of the most liberal contributors are direct descendants of those early colonists who robbed the abOrigines of their lands and then offered rewards for their scalps.
 It seems in the blood to be mixed up in Indian affairs, and always as harm ful as possible. In former generations the Pecksnitfs robbed the poor Indian shamelessly and by wanton cruelty precipitated the troubles that fol- lowed. Now they pet and cajole the red man, plainly telling him that no matter how red handed with white blood he may be, there is a power in civilization which stands ever ready to protect him from just punishment.
 In this connection Arizonans may find interest in the information that the Indian Rights Association has fin ally succeeded in having returned westward the murderous band of the cruel and bloodthirsty Geronimo. Within the past two weeks the war department has ordered them removed to Fort Sill, Oklahoma: and next year they are to be brought to the San Car los reservation. This in direct oppo- sition to repeated protests from the people of Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, and their delegates in con- gress. The world is assured by the Indian Rights Association that they have become good Indians. When, sometime next year, they make an- other trail of blood through Arizona, the Indians Rights Association will realize, perhaps, that the only way to make good Indians is on the old plan in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania by paying bounties on scalps.

FREE TRADE FALLACIEs.

One of the stock assertions of the free trade wing of the democratic party Is that the panic and prevailing hard times are the result of thirty years application of protection. Is it not remarkable that the last year of that application of protective policy was the most prosperous of all, and that the financial and commercial revulsion charged to it did not come until after the success at the polls of the party pledged to it's abandon ment?
 And there is another thing. When the campaign of 1892 was on the sue cessful party promised better times not a panic and commercial cata- clysm. Had they asserted that the ad vent of their party to power would be followed by the most stupendous financial disturbance of the century they would not have been entrusted with power. Just the very fact that such was threatened would have de- tered the voters,
 Another point: The deficit in, the national treasury has occurred under the present administration, and was solely due to a falling off of revenues due to commercial stagnation. Had not change been decreed business would have gone along as before, the national revenues would have suiiiced to meet national expenses, and there would have been no deficit. But the business world stopped its wheels to see what would be the extent of the promised change, and stagnation, de- pression and the deficit followed.
 Again--the cry is that the first Cleveland administration left a sur plus of one hundred millions in the national treasury which the Harrison administration dissipated. Very true. It is no part of the duty of the na- tional government to maintain a sur plus in the treasury beyond the ordi- nary requirements of the current busi- ness. While the Cleveland admins tration was piling up surplus to use as cry out of which to make political capital, it made little effort at reduc- tion of the public debt. The Harri- son administration applied the sur plus to extinction of a part of the pub lie debt, cut off interest and put into circulation locked up money. The Harrison administration was a busi- ness administration. The Cleveland administration was and is a calamity administration, always fnding some thing to howl about, and when it can find nothing it creates something-as ie did in the matter of the surplus.
 Now this latest howl about the su- gar trust was deliberately created by MT. Cleveland to make political capi- tai. When the senate bill with its sugar schedules was framed Secretary Carlisle told the finance committee senators that it had Mir. Cleveland's approyal; and also that the same au- gust gentleman approved the coal and iron schedules. Yet the moment the schedules passed the senate his majesty raised the cry of perfidy and dishonor. Senators Brice and Cor man, and their associates, assert the perfidy and dishonor are at the White House.

they set out for Terre Haute. Yesterday
they were needed at Clinton again, but re-
fused to go. Isaac Kelley, the deputy in
charge, telegraphed Marshal Hawkins yes

marshal wired back that if the men were

he seemed to think would make excellent

thought about the refusal of the knights
of Labor TO strike, and declared that the
