II is less singular that Congress
man Johnson, with his opinions and
professions, should be disgusted
with the policy Of barter that has
obtained favor in the United States
senate than that the same senti-
ments should exist among those rep
resenting both the leaders and the
rank and file Of the democracy Of
the West. For men Of this class to
applaud the sentiment that their
party is foredoomed to defeat be-
cause it has not lived up to its
pledges, is evidence Of the firm hold
that the anti-protection theory has
taken upon the people Of this coun-
try. With these western democrats
ii is not question Of party policy,
but the enforcement Of a principle,
and they are evidently, ready it
seems, to welcome the defeat Of
their party when the organization
proves false TO the trust that was
imposed in it.-Boston Herald.

Tendencies Of the Liquor
Traffic.

Most Of the fearful amount oi
crime, unrest and depression can be
very easily traced to the criminal
tendencies Of this traffic, and the
enormous consumption Of the wages
Of labor, resulting in poverty and
the exhaustion OF the resources OF
the people that this traffic occasions,
l. not less than one thousand mill
ions Of dollars, 4 safe and recent
estimate gives this as the amount
spent directly for alcoholic liquors,
and another thousand millions are
expended to take care of its awful

The disposition Of the fees, which
heretofore have, for the officers, con.
stituted such an important and prof

the new law:

preceding three months, and they
shall pay to the county treasurer
the amount shown by said report,
and take the county treasurer's re-

be filed IN the county auditors Of

the officer a quietus for the amount

Bishop Chatard Summoned
by the Pope.

Bishop Francis Chatard, Of thu
diocese of Vincennes, has gone te
Rome in response to summons
from the Pope. The purpose Of i,
was not communicated % the Bish.
ops most confidential friends, or il
it was, they have been enjoined t.
secrecy. He went first to Balti-
more to have conference with
Cardinal Gibbons before he set sail
He will return to Indianapolis about
the latter part Of June.
1t is surmised that the Bishop
has been called to Rome for consul
tation relative to the parochial school
question, which has been recently
agitated in various places. In 9TH
er quarters the call is believed to
have reference to the consolidate
ton of the dioceses of Vincennes
and Fort Wayne, the consumma-
ton of which would probably mean
the elevation of Bishop Chatard to
the position Of an Archbishop.
Still others believe that the head of
the Catholic church desires to be
informed relative to the magnitude,
growth and probable effect of the
Protective Association.

/ LAFAYETTE, April Mrs. Helen
M. Cougar, the well-known prohi.
bition and woman suffrage advocate
of this city, and the Hon. Jerry
Simpson have been exchanging
views through the medium of letter
correspondence. This exchange
was caused by Mrs. j. Ellen Foster,
Of Iowa, president Of the Women's
Republican League Of the United
States, woman who as Mrs. Gou-
gar put it left the prohibition party,
OF which she was shining light and
lecturer, "to join the republican
Iparty in order to secure from Presi-
dent Harrison an Office for hus-
band who had only business sense
enough to carry travelling bag for
her"
When Mrs. Cougar heard that
Mrs. Foster was chaperoning bevy
|of pretty Puritan factory girls before
the Senate tariff committee to show
how protection benefits the wage
Garner, especially the factory girl,
she wrote to Mr.. Simpson as fol-
lows:
"The Hon. Jerry Simpson, NC:
DEAR SIR:-I see that Mrs. Fos-
ter is to display a company Of fac
tory girls before the senate commit
tee as living evidence Of the beau
ties of the high protective tariff to
these work-women. Solomon in all
his glory was never arrayed as will
be these factory and shop girls upon
the occasion Of this visit. She will
doubtless forget to state that the
highest average wages these girls
receive, taking the United States
over, is less than $6 per week, while
their protected masters realize
their millions from the labor of these
same girls.
Don't you think that, az an offset,
| had better get representatives from
the farmers and miners wives and
march on to Washington Just ahead
OF Coxey's army, to show the real
benefits Of protection?'
! would suggest that you meet us
at the gates Of the capitol with the
old coat for flag, which you 80
eloquently displayed when you
made the recent speech on the
tariff.
Cordially yours for the protection
OF the masses as well as the classes.
HELEN M. COUGAR.
To this Mr.. Simpson made reply
as follows:
Helen M. Cougar:
"Dear Madam-Your card re-
ceived. / will say that the factory
girls have been here, but failed to
get hearing before the committee.
II think your suggestion an excel
ent one, and if we could parade be-
lore the people the farmers and
miners wives, showing the effect OF
the tariff upon them, / think the
contrast would be glaring one, and
think would have an excellent ef-
ect. When did but show an old
md shoddy coat, sample such as
ire worn by our farmers, il set the
whole brood to cackling. Every old
row got up on the fence and
cawked' about the scarecrow. You
'an but imagine the effect upon these
birds Of prey if you but showed them
he result.
"Of course the factory girls came
lere well dressed, with fine Easter
,onnets on; but they have been get
ing small share Of the plumber Of
he robber tariff.
II wonder how long it will be be-
ore the people will be awake to a
calization Of the fact that they are
,eing robbed.
Respectfully yours,
"JERRY SIMPSON

pHAccording to a paving brick

pH- According to a paving brick
expert of Savannah, Ga, any good
clay brick may be vitrified without
much expense. "When a kiln Of
bricks has been thoroughly burned
the fires are fed with green wood or
green fagots, says this expert in a
letter to the Savannah News, "and
common salt is then shovelcd in on
the fires. The intense heat destroys
the salt. The chlorine, mixing
with the steam Of the green fagots,
forms hydrochrolic acid, which COM
bines with the clay at white heat
and forms a coating Of alum glass,
or, to use the technical expression,
the bricks become vitrifed. The
whole operation is performed within
one hour. Rock salt costing $6 OF
81 ton will answer, so that the
cost Of vitrifying would not amount
to 5 cents for 600 brick"
