Prof. Wilson, the sponsor for the Wiia n
bill, il not so many years removed from bus
clas ,ical studies that the situation in the
House may fail to bring to mind that ia
nous quotation, "7imeo Donaos ct dona
ferentes." The bowie knife is drawn and
while ostensibly employed against the en-
envy cuts and slashes regardless Of friend
or foe. Representative johnson of Ohio
considers himself Democrat, and if adher-
snce to the party platform is any indication
of party fealty there are none in the Demo
cratic ranks too proud to do him honor.
Larry Neal has been laid to rest under the
Mckinley sod and the rainbow halo now
rests on the head Of johnson. And it was
thi, same ebullient johnson, who startled
the House Democracy Wednesday ,as might
an escaped pyrotechnical piece let off in
the midst of devotional exercises. But
he told consi6 cradle truth and it was told
90 pungentIy that some who heard him
wished he hadn't spoken. OF course he
started on the false premise that protection
is robbery, but in so doing he accepted
the ground on which the Democratic party
had taken its stand. What agirated bis
political colleagues was the fact that Mr..
johnson remains consistent and proudly
avows the fact while the party 10 not,
and i, up to its old tricks of deceiving the
people. Mr.. johnson lkens the par
ty to dog which when it had
the opportunity instead of flying at the
throats of the protected barons wagged its
tail and looked for crumbs. Had Pres:-
dent Cleveland shown sagacity and courage
there would have been special session OF
Congressto relieve the country of the bur-
dens of taxation instead of the disgusting
spectacle of the President and Congress
devoting its energies to the discussion
of personal claims to party places. Then
as Climax came shameful delays, big
Democratic jority unable to count quo
rum. The committee have shaved down
and redistributed the spoils of protection.
1.-THE bill is political blunder of the gray
est kind, to use tie words of Mr.. johnson.
The bill would injure but one trust. the
sugar trust he said. Mr.. johnson will vote
for the bill but his support is of the ques-
tionabe kind ich exposes to the pub ic
the hypocrisy and understandable motives
which seem to actuate the Democratic az
ministration

There has never been feature of Cleve-
lands administration Of our foreign fairs,
in ei.her of his administrations, that has
been characterized by the first spark Of true
American feeling. The people were pre-
pared upon his accession to power, to look
for conspicuous weakness in this branch of
the pubic service, particularly when he
called cheap political demagogue like
Gresham to the head of the state depart
ment. No one, however, looked for any
thing approaching the Hawaiian infamy.
1t will 20 upon record as the most astound-
ing exhibition of incompetence, egotism,
and cowardice known to the conduct of our
foreign affairs in the history of the repub-
lie.

That was big meeting of members of
the Wool Manufacturers Association in
New York Wednesday that unanimously
passed resolutions denouncing the Wilson
bill. And yet Prof. Wilson tells us that
free wool would be such an advantage to
these manufacturers. Strange isn't it that
this West Virginia wizard far removed
from the smoke of the factory chimney
should have received, as by supernatural
vision, an intelligence concerning our in
dustries, which men who have spent their
lives in building them up can't comprehend.

The Harrison administration not only
gave the country an era of unexampled
prosperity, but it made a most material re-
duc,ion in the national debt. Cleveland's
administration has changed all this and the
nation Is in the midst Of the greatest bust
ness depression it has known for fifty years.
With large deficit to deal with a Dem
ocratic Congress is now endeavoring
to force the passage of measure
which not only strikes down lead
ing American industries: but involves a
large reduction in the public revenues. The
country has had abundant proof of the utter
incapaaity of the Democratic party to di-
rect the affairs of the nation and will seize
the first opportunity for return to the
good old days of Republican prosperity.

The portrait of Payson Tucker which ap-
pears in the Maine Central is the best we
have ever seen in print of that able and dis
tinguished railroad manager. The accom-
pany ing sketch of Mr.. fuckers career is
comprehensive and we'll written. II
reads almost like story. Starting
as clerk in a railroad superintendent
office when boy of 10 he has made unin-

and with gross receipts amounting to over

A Thomastoa man owns Ave pieces of
first-class ships and four pieces of first
class schooners. From these nine vessel
shares he received in dividends during
the year 1898 the sum of S243. He
paid out in INSURANCE, on this property
S235, in taxes $3.50, making total of $685.
This gives a net loss of $l42, not taking in
to account the depreciation in value. This
is quite contrast to the figures of well
known Bath built four-mattar which since
she was built seven years ago, has melted
her owners 100000.

Grover Cleveland enjoys the invidious
distinction of being the first president OF

A copy of the Portland Daily Advertiser

for the purpose of mining coal At Cape

succeeded in selling all of the stock at one
hundred per cent. above par and had bought
q number of farms that were supposed to
over-lie the coal veins which were reported
to be excellent, and the stat. ment

LETTER FROM JUDGE COOLEY.

CIeyeland's Course.

He Warmly and FeeIingly COmmends
CIeveland's Course.
WAsHINGToN, July 18.-In view Of the
criticisms that have been uttered in
certain quarters on the legality Of the
course pursued by President Cleveland
in using Federal troops, notably at CHI
cago, not to preserve the peace, but to
execute the DEGREES of the Federal ju-
dietary and keep in operation the pro-
visions OF the interstate commerce law,
the following letter from one of the most
able exponents of the constitution in the
land, Judge Thomas II. Cooley, has
peculiar application. 1t was sent to-day
to President Cleveland:
Now that the great strike in which
your official Intervention became so nee
essary has been clearly shown to be a
failure, beg to be allowed to express
my unqualified satisfaction with every
step you have taken in vindication OF
the national authority and with the
restoration OF law and order which has
been followed or is now in progress.
The caution and deliberation with which
YOU have proceeded are, think, worthy,
like the accompanying frmness, OF high
praise, and | am specially gratified that
great and valuable lesson in constitu-
tional construction has been settled for
all time with remarkably little blood
shed. You and the Attorney General
also have won the gratitude of the coun-
try, not for this generation only, but for
all time, and may God bless you for it,
| is my sincere prayer"

WE WEREN'T IN IT.
The American Team Beaten by
the British Team.
JOHN BULL IS MUCH ELATED.
But the Spirit of English Fair Play oi
Which They Are Wont to Boast was
Supplanted by One of Most intense
JeaIousy-Mr. Bayard Attended.


LONDON, July 17.-Despite the love oil
fair play, of which the English are wont
to boast, the crowds which witnessed the
contests between Oxford and Yale teams
to-day were generally most unfairly par
tisan. OF course, in the box, where the
American Ambassador and number OF
prominent Englishmen were gathered,
the Englishmen made it point OF clap
ping their hands when the Yale team
was successful, and Mr.. Bayard was
equally careful to applaud the successes
OF Oxford men, but everywhere else the
most intense jealousy was manifested.
In front of what was supposed to be re-
served for Americans crowd OF we'll
dressed men and women gathered, and
when the little knot OF Yale men gave
the college cheer many Of these people
would turn around and make insinuatlng
remarks. "They call themselves gen
tlemen," scornfully remarked a lady in
the American party, and when Y ale won
some event and her partisans were re-
joicing, big, burly Britisher yelled:
Remember the Britannia beat the Wig
liant six times" None OF these remarks
were made good-naturedly, but with the
most intense passion. The scene at the
end expressed the whole feeling. While
poor Pond, who ran one Of the pluckiest
races ever seen, was lying in his friends
arms, the Oxonian who had saved the
English from being tied was being borne
triumphantly to the pavilion, men and
women following with faces aflame and
running and yelling in mad delight. 1t
was all typical of the British feeling.
Hickok of the Yales and Frye of the
Oxfords were interviewed after the
games. Fry was very happy. He said
the Oxford team were delighted with the
Yale athletes. He thought the Ameri-
cans had done their best, and certainly
were not up to the record. This was be-
cause they were overturned, while the
Oxford men had not reached their best
form, because they were undertrained.
All the members OF his team were SUR
prised at Hickok's work with the ham,
mer and weight. He regretted that the
weather was not better, and thought, if
the track had been dry, Sheldon would
have cleared twenty-four feet in the rum
ming broad Jump. He said further that,
although it was difficult to induce the
Oxford men to train in the summer time,
he was determined, if possible, to get
Oxford to agree to a return match with
Yale in 1895. He hoped the athletes
from the two universities could meet
annually,
Hickok said he was bitterly disap-
pointed, not SO much because the Yales
were beaten as because the men did not
do as well as they did in the trials. He
added:
81 have thrown the hammer over 125
feet, but to-day could not exceed 1lO
feet. However, there is no use in look
ing for reasons. They got there first,
and we were beaten. They are splendid
lot of fellows, and there is nothing to re-
gret but the result"

Alleged Jury -Hriblng,

CucAGo, July lS.-A sensational jury
bribing case developed in Judge Bakers
court to-day in the condemnation suit of
the Metropolitan Elevated railway vs.,
Millionaire Warren Springer over strip
of land valued by Springer at 100000.
One OF the jurors, George Marmon, told
the Judge that n woman had called on
his family and offered n bribe in Spring

was Springer's wife. Judge Baker sug-
gested that Mrs. Springer appear in the
court and make an explanation. Her
husband Indignantly denies that she is
connected with the affair, claiming that
she is in Wisconsin.
