PROTECTING LOUISIANA.

The molcS and bats that make Democratic tar
IFS have much to say about the markets Of the
world They profess to believe that when their
work is done barriers on American scaboards
which have obstructcd International exchanges
will be removed. and that II vast development
Of the export trade will follow tariff reform"
But when their chatter ceases and they begin
to lcgislatc. the first thing that they do is to
build up tariff barriers in foreign countries
against American exports. They talk loosely
about opening foreign markets. Then they de-
libcratcly close those markets by their own I'M
beetle folly.
Cuba offers an apt illustration. Under the
operation of the Reciprocity policy American
millcrs have obtained control of the flour mar
kct there A tariff which disseminated heavily
against exports from the United States and in
favor OF exports from Spain was broken down,
and large development Of American trade
was the immediate result. Every steamer lcav
ing Ncw-York for Havana or Cicnfucg0s was
heavily loaded with -four, pork provisions ma
chincry hardware and manufactures of all
kinds. Through the negotiation Of that Reel
procty agreement the Americans captured the
foreign market, from which they were drawing
nearly onc-half Of their imported sugar supply.
What do the Democrats now propose? They in
tend to abrogatc that Reciprocity arrangement
and to close that foreign market. With sugar
restored to the dutiable list in response to die
tation from Louisiana, Spain will impose dis
eliminating duties against the United States
and shut American exporters out Of the mar
kets Of Cuba and Porto Rico

American farmers and Ax.Yarters, 1t will be

The bill providing for non-partsan boards Of
election inspectors throughout the State was
passed "a second time by the Assembly last
night, having been recalled from the Senate for
amendment. The amendments made were not
of great significance, the principal one being
that the act shall take effect Immediately. II
will be necessary for the Senate to act on the
bill again. there is no question that it will act
favorably. The vote in the Assembly was
unanimous, with one exception.

The president and secretary Of the NewYork
Steam Company, when arraigncd in the Court
Of Special Sessions yesterday on the charge Of
polluting the atmosphere of the city by burning
soft coal, entered pleas Of guilty and were fined
$50 each. The claim was made in their behalf
that they had put in apparatus 10 consume the
smoke, which had worked all right at first and
zen failed. OF course the $50 fine is merely
nominal. We trust, however that it will serve
as distinct warning 10 the company's officials,
and that II the nuisance is repeated, they will
be dealt with summarily. New-York has no use
for soft-coal smoke.

In our special dispatch from Trenton are out

there will be thorough housekeeping. The
Republican Legislature will not be hamperH
in its work. since the Governor in Ncw-Jersey
has only nominal veto power.
Conclusive evidence OF the determination OF
the Republicans in the Legislature TO Keep eN-
pcnscs within moderate limits was given yes
tcrday when the Supply bill was reported IN
the Assembly. The sum which 1T carries IS
S1407. O3i. whereas the like bill year ago
when it left Governor Flowers hands provided
for an expenditure of S2.19G.5Si. Here is a
clear gain of 81. 299. 80; but properly TO com
mare the records of the two Legislatures it is
necessary to bear in mind that Il number OF
items passed by the Democrats year ago were
not approved by the Governor who thus helped
TO save his party from n part of its eXtrava-
gancc Actually the Republican Legislature
has cIlt The Supply bill 30 per cent. This Is n
record on which the Republican party can go
before the people Of the State next fall with
thorough satisfaction.

The bill introduced by Assembyman Sheffield
yesterday giving the Sheriff OF this county
$4,000 year, and turning all his fees over to
the city treasury is excellent one and ought
to be passed promptly Why should our
Sheriff be permitted TO grab $4,000 or 100000 a
year Of clear gain from this Office? OF course
Tammany does not permit him to pocket all
this. He may be allowed to retain $40 900 or some
such sum for his own bank account But every
body remembers the shameful story OF Sheriff
Hugh J. Grants gifts to Richard Cookers little
daughter Mr. Grant paid for the Office in that
way. How much have successors OF Sheriff
Grant been paying over to Richard Croker or to
members OF his family, directly indirectly?
The Sheriffs office ought no longer to remain a
diamond mine for Tammany bosses.

The ex-Mayors OF the city have spoken on the
question of the destruction of the ancient and
honorable City Hall, and with one voice they
declare in favci Of its preservation. There IS
scarcely doubt that they represent and reflect
the intelligent sentiment OF the community.
The removal Of the City Hall is Tammany Job

There ought not to be any great difficulty IN
finding witnesses to prove that Paddy" Diver
offered rewards 10 the election inspectors in his
district who should return the largest percentage
Of votes for Maynard. At the time OF the cleo
ton in November il was matter OF common
notoriety that he had done this and the char
acter OF the prizes announced in the papers
As a result OF his offer Republican votes were
thrown out so reckessly that in some districts
not a single one counted. 1t was known in
November that by making these offers Diver
had laid himself liable to indictment under the
Corrupt Practices act. But evidence Of Divers
action was then missing and now seems to be
scarce This is the more singular because he has
deserted the men who did the dirty work for him
at the recent election and has thus caused much
wrath in the Id Assembly District. Diver
richly deserves indictment and term in the
State Prison. Any attempt 10 shield him from
the Just consequences Of his illegal acts will be
fatal 10 those who take part in 1t.

The work cut out for the Senate Investigating
Committee is bound to occupy a good deal of
time Mr.. Golf is now engaged in getting ready
the mass Of evidence which he expects to present
but he will not begin to lay the matter before
the committee until neaf the end Of April-prob-
ably until az err the adjournment Of the Legis-
lature. when the committee will be able to hold
daily sessions in this city. From all the ndica-
tons, the iniquity in the Police Department will
be uncovered from the bottom. This Is what
The Tribune has been demanding from the mo-
ment the investigation was talked Of. We have
said repeatedly that the inquiry must be honest
and thorough and that all the facts must be
brought to the light Of day. This is what every
respectable citizen must desire. Tammany would
prevent or stave off the investigation II that were
possible Fortunately. it Is not possible. Mr..
Golf is'to have competent assistants in his share
of the work and We do not doubt that it will be
satisfactorily done. The people Of New-York will
know before long just how corrupt and foul this
great department of the city government has
grown under unrestricted Tammany control

There has never been more farccal pro-
ceeding in our recollection than the action OF the
Rapid Transit Commissioners in reference to the
so-called Bushe plan. The preposterous char
acter of this scheme has been repeatedly shown.
and yet the Commissioners apparently still
seriously talking about it, and promise to an
nounce their decision on it next Tuesday. Surely
we have no further need Of these Commissioners.

istence is passed the better.

Rocky Ford Canal Repairs.

Last Tuesday We visited the extensive
work on the Rocky Ford canal now un-
der way under the direction OF Senator
Swink. The recent foods totally de-
stroyed the headgate, the channel Of the
river changing 80 that the former site Of
the headgate is now on the opposite side
of the river. The company decided to
abandon about 5000 feet OF the canal
next to the river and take route about
1000 shorter and on an air line. This
demanded heavy excavation, as for a
portion of the way the new work is 1S
feet wide on the bottom and 40 feet wide
at the top. On Tuesday % teams were
at work scraping the sand from the 1000
feet Of new canal, and on some days 36
teams have been employed. The COM
pany furnishes the material and Lorenzo
Swink builds the new headgate for $3.50.
Carpenters are now at work on the tim
bers and the driving OF the 60 long piles
probably begun Yesterday. l. Denness
estimates the amount of earth to be NOV
ed to complete the new work to aggre-
gate 1912 cubic yards. When done the
canal promises to be one of tho best and
most substantial works Of the kind in
the Arkansas valley.

The great strike of 1894 seems to be
nearing an end, although the A. r. q.
officials say they are preparing for yet
more vigorous struggle. The lessons
of the strike are many, chief among
which is the conviction forced on the
people of the United States that there is
an imminent demand for national legisla-
tion which shall prevent such industrial
disorder as has cast reproach on our re-
public for the past month. These differ
ences between capital and labor will con-
tinue to arise and strikes are no remedy
for them. And the boycott is not de-
fensible, even against such corporation
as the Pullman company. The rapidity
with which the strike spread, and the
willingness with which thousands Of men
abandoned situations in distressingly
hard times, illustrates a peculiar trait OF
the American people. We are both i'm
pulsive and initiative. Men like to "be
in the fashion" as well as the women.
We follow our party leaders right or
wrong, the whole people get excited over
'pigs in the clover" puzzle or some 9TH
or foolish fad, and do many equally un-
reasonable things. like sheep following a
leader over fence. The late strike is
but an example OF this trait Of American
character. Men "went out" without
close reasoning as to the cause Of prob
able results. Had the movement stopped
at this the only result would have been
that many thousands Of men. who had
been idle for months, would have been
given the places Of the strikers. But the
refusal of the strikers to allow their
places to be filed by those willing to
work, and the advantage taken of the ex-
citement by the rowdy element, caused a
condition demanding the interference of
Of the q. S. army. But the strike will
not be without value il one result shall

.cnces OF the summer OF 1894.

Red Clover Paying Crop in the
Arkansas Valley.

A. D. Best. Of this vicinity, is the only
Arkansas valley farmer who has given
much attention to red clover, as far as
we have learned. Last year Mr.. Best
threshed seed crop which paid him
splendidly, and last week threshed the
seed from four acres, just harvested.
The yield was 20 bushels, an average OF
bushels per acre. The crop Of last
year brought him from $40 to $500
per bushel. Should the lower price be
realized this year Mr.. Best will have a
gross income Of s27 per acre for the first
crop of seed, saying nothing Of the second
crop he aspires to harvest this year, and
the nutritious threshed hay of which he
will have large amount, in 1898 he
was delayed some three weeks in getting
water on his clover after the first cutting
or he is confident that the second crop
would have been fully equal to the first.
Mr.. Best is going extensively into red
clover and hopes to have forty acres to
cut for seed next year. He has now
watered his four acre field well, and ex-
poets to have yield equal to that just
threshed. We have promised to go out
and help thresh that second crop, get a
good item and o square country meal at
the same time.
