TELEPHONE AGAIN.

The Stanton Daily News Of the
End inst. contains an editorial on
telephones, and actually speaks of
running line to Highland county,
which is the first time this subject
has been mentioned in any Of the
Slapnton papers. We are glad to
see that Staunton's Daily has taken
this matter in hand and we trust
the result will be telephone line
from Monterey to Stanton.
Here is an extract from the News:
!.'Fhe News has already shown
how telephone lines for small towns
and whole counties can be operated
since the expiration Of the Bell pa
tents on Jany. 80 by means of a
double wire, one for the call bells
and .one for the telephones.
Through this simple device Staun-
ton could be cheaply connected
with every town and village and
farmhouse in Augusta county. 1t
could run a line to Highland coun-
ty, which, taking into consideration
the business relations existing be-
tween Staunton and that county,
should be done at once. In Shen-
andoah county move has within
the last two weeks been on foot to
connect Woodstock, its county
seat with Moorfeld, the county-seat
of Hardy county, West Virginia.
But not onlyis telephone lire
practical in the countries, but even
in towns where there are from one
to two hundred subscribers, a tel
ephone exchange in small way
may be had, independent OF the
Bell company and all at the small
est expense"
More than half the amount re-
quired to erect the line can be rails
ed in Highland county. 1t has
been estimated that it will cost a.
boat $1,000. go ... -.

Our Minister to Hayti.

Late advices from Hayti from an
evidently sensational passf niger on a
steamer, reported that the American
Minister, Mr.. Harry N. Smythe, had
gotten himself into trouble b. writ
ing a letter TO President Hippolyte
giving him general advice about
how to run his government, and
that the President desired Mr..
Slnythe recalled. Later advices by
mail, however, state that Minister
Smvthe wrote to the President re-
mopstrating against the decree for
bidding ships to enter the barber
at night, and the long delav AmerI-
can ships underwent from being
searched for contraband arms. He
also suggested a consular court to
try cases in which Americans and
Europeans were interested-an A.
merican having just been forced to
pay large sum on the evidence Of
a Haytien lawyer whom the local
justice refused to have put on oath.
Minister Smythe asked the foreign
ministers to join.him in the remon-
strances. Yindicator.
The above shows oonclusively
that all reports concerning Minister
Smythe's action toward President
tiippolyte, are untrue; and that the
suggestions made by him were FOX
the good Of both countries.

Senator Voorhees,, by virtue of his
position as chairman Of the Senate
committee on Finance, has taken
command Of the Wilson tariff bill
which COMPOUNDED its enemies by
the large majority it received in the
House last week. That no time
will be wasted by the committee in
reporting the bill to the Senate is
made plain by these words from Mr..
Voorhees,; I'VE realize that what
the country needs is repose. and be-
lieving that the passage Of the bill
will be in the interest of the coun-
try at large and will be soon follow

we shall do all in our powerto have
the bill disposed of at the earliest
moment possible. Senator Jones

mittee of the Finance committee
that will have immediate charge of
the tariff bill. He thinks the bill
can be reported inside Of three
weeks.

The Board Of Supervisors met il
Special Session on last Monday L
consider matters pertaining to thC
building Of the new jail. The
Building Committee presented plans
etc, for the whole structure sub.
mitted by the Champion Iron
Works Company, Of Kenton, Ohio
which plans We're adopted by the
Board. The Board also accepted
the $4,000, proposition Of the above
named Company for The steel cells
and iron work, and directed the
Building Committee to let the
whole Of the work, except the cell
and iron work, to contract subject
to the approval of the Board. The
Board also directed the sale Of the
old jail building which will have to
be removed from the ground before
work on the new jail is begun.
The County Court will adopt the
Jail of one of the adjoining counties
for the safe keeping Of our prison
ers, if we have any, during the time
the new jail is in the process Of e.
rection.
The new jail will not be an ex-
pensive one as compared with jails
Of other counties recently built in
the state, but will be ample in it's
accommodations for the needs of
the county in this line and will be
an honor to the county.
The Building Committee, as we'll
as the Board Of Supervisors, has
had due regard to the interest Of
the county, IN this matter and no
step has been taken without due
consideration.
Our Supervisors are men Of good
Judgment and none Of their constr
tuents need fear useless or reckless
by them and we ven
ture the assertion, that when the
work is completed, the large major
ity of taxpayers in the county will
commend the Board for its action
in this regard.
We have no prisoner in jail now
and indulge the hope that we will
have none until new quarters are
fitted up for occupancy.

have the e1rOnIery W came 10 ION
gress demanding so, 60, 70 or ever
50 per cent. protection on the arti
Giles that he produces. 1t was saic
by Mr.. Morrill,, Of Vermont, when
he was defending those insiduous
advances by which protection fas-
tened itself on this country, that he
hoped we would after a while get
back to the ideas Of former times
when a duty Of even 5 per cent. was
weighed as carefully as gold dnst
in the balance. Yet to-day men
come to the Committee on Ways
and Means boldly, defiantly demand
ing that we should put 80 per cent.
nay even 100 per cent. on impor-
tant articles competing with their
products.
Why, Mr.. Chairman, a duty of
so per cent. means that man must
labor a dav and half for that which
he can otherwise set by one day
labor. Yet 50 extreme have grown
the views of those who carry on the
protected industries. so blinded are
they by the concessions Of the past
thirty years, that they think it is
nothing to ask us to make the labor
ing people of this country work
every third day for them, instead Of
for their own comfort and the sup
port Of their own families.
Sir, the system has made those pro
tected Industries part of our Coz
eminent patronage. After every
Republican victory since 1872, they
have come here as other party work
erS, to receive their reward in the
form Of new taxes on the American
people. Applause.
The men who carried the banner
Of Mr.. Harrison in 1888 as speakers
upon the platform, as leaders in the
States, were no more prompt to
come here for the officers they had
earned than were the protected in
dustries Of the country to come for
the bounties they had had earned.
[ Applause.
And, whoever may have been dis
appointed in getting an office, there
is no record that any protected in
dustry failed to get its bounty. Re
newed applause.
There is no hope for free gov
eminent, there is no hope for pure
government, as long as these pow
erful, wealthy interests are part
of our Government patronage, brib-
ed by it's largeness and overawing
it by their clamors. 1t is their clam
Ors to-day, their indignant, madden
ed, menacing clamors that are Feard
over this House in their own facto-
ries, in their own mills, in their own
mines, at the prospect that this pa
tent victim, the American people
is to be released from some Of their
exactions, even though it be but
part of them.

Now Mr.. Chairman, IN closing
these remarks want to say that if
the economic objections to protec-
ton are so great, if it unbalonces
trade, if it causes fluctuations and
gros inequalities in the industries of
the country, if it robs labor of en-
ployment, if it lessons the wages Of
the toiler, if it throws crushing bur-
denS upon the American farmer, if it
makes the support of Government
an onerous burden upon every man
or woman who works foi living, a
still longer condemnation Of the
protectlvesyStem is that its inevita-
BILE effect when persisted in is to un-
determine free institutions in this
country and all just sense Of equal
citizenship.
If we had not been drunk for thir-
tY years on protection; If our minds
had not been biased and darkened by
thirty years experience of the pro-
tectiye system, 10 man to-day would
