HENRY WATTERsoN is Respondent and
in a moment of dispair, the democratic
editor gave vent to his feelings, thus:
The democratic outlook does not brighten
as the solar system puts on its summer
garb Of green and gold. The confusion at
Washington is radiative, its ]dissonance
epidemic. Democrats go about bewildered.
Chagrin among the rank and file of the
party, passing from amazement to dismay,
has eliminated in disgust, deep and uni
versal. A political society which has
weathered so many headlands and sur
vived so many universities, was surely not
born to die; but little short of complete re-
organization seems adequate to its rescue
from total disruption.
Now 1t is to be supposed that Henry's
heart-rending grief was bad enough, in
itself, but not so. The Chicago Inter
Ocean rubs a little salt into his wounds
as follows:
1t would be useless to ask of Mr.. Waiter
son that he should dive into the Sargasso
sea and rescue the drowned Star-Eyed
Goddess of Reform by the locks. She has
no locks whereby to be rescued. Fathoms
deep in the ooze of desuetude lies the
skeleton of that sometime sorcerness. Her
skull is bald, the sockets of her eyes are
vacant.
No motion has she now, nor force.
She neither hears nor sees.
Never again will her lips utter %mellihuous
entertainments, never again will she ride
her milk-white steed through the blue
grass valleys and over the bluegrass hills.
She is as impotent as a deserted distillery.
: y = 1t is an older for CO than re-
p%ublicanisln that has done this: it is a
power that was ere Anglican theories were
shaped for dreaming Americans to cherish,
that has destroyed the force of the great
democratic majority, that has confused its
councils, that has thwarted its plans. 1t is
the saving grace Of common sense operat.
ing through the tingling nerve of adversely
that has routed the Star-Eyed Goddess and
that has saved the nation.

GOVERNOR WAITE of Colorado is in a
fair way, not only to wade up to his
horses brides in blood, but to get it:lib-
erably besmeared over his whiskers, in
his hair, and upon the fresides and
hearthstones of numberless innocent
citizens of his state, whose lives, and
whose interests he is in duty bound to
protect. The troubles down at Cripple
Creek have passed the stage of an ordin-
airy industrial disturbance. A reign of
terror is in progress. Striking miners
have met all efforts at an adjustment of
difficulties with a ~recklessness and disre-
gard of law and order, which leaves no
room for safety. Requests for protection
have been met with by the governor,
who represents a reform" element, with
profane refusals, and he has all through
the trouble manifested a supreme disre.
gard for the safety of those whose lives
and property are endangered. For the
past year, he has made seditious and an
archistic speeches. He has professed to
scorn the law, when it did not meet with
his approval, and his actions have, in all
instances, been such as to inspire dis.
%turbances, such as the one which is now
in progress. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the Cripple Creek troubles may be
abated without more serious %consequen.
"
ces that have already resulted, but the
actions of Waite in the matter are
intolersble, and the people of Colorado
may assure themselves that just so long
as they tolerate such government, just
80 long will their safety be menaced.

BY MI. H.

In another column, the TRIBUNE pub
fishes a communication from Senator
Roach, in answer to one which ap-
peared come time ago. The letter will
be interesting, because in it, Senator
Roach defines his position, and it is in
favor Of free wool, but it will be, also, a
disappointment to the wool growers of
the state, who, at their organization, for
warded a resolution to North Dakota's
representatives at Washington, asking
for a fair protection on wool, and who
had hoped that this memorial would
have some effect. Senator Roach's ar
guments in favor of free wool are the
same speculative, hazy and intangible
ones, which are resorted to by all ex-
Founders of free trade doctrines. Free
trade is supported, in argument, by
theories-protection by cold hard facts.
One fact which, in itself, is a more pot
ent argument than all others combined,
is that every state wool growers a~ssocia-
tion-indeed, it might be said, every
wool grower in the United States has
evidenced, by petitions and memorials,
the same desire for protected wool.
Now why should the men who are vitality
interested want protection if, as Senator
Roach states, it is to be of no benefit?
Why should they want a continuance of
of protection if it has not been of benefit
to them in the past? If protection has
been of no benefit, will Senator Roach
go a little further in his argument, and
explain what has builded up the wool
growing industry? The only decrease
in the price of wool under protection
has been that reasonable decrease which
is due altogether to the immense increase
in supply under the great growth of the
industry which protection has builded
up. The present decrease is not a reason
able one, but unreasonable, and due to
the threats of democracy to take off the
~tariH-merely a foretaste of what may
be expected when free wool becomes a
fact, when the American wool grower
is placed on an equality with foreign
producers, who will be invited under
free trade to flood our home market
with their products. Every pound of
foreign wool which enters the United
States under free trade goes to cause a
decreased price. 1t means, pound for
pound, so much less wool raised at home.
It means a reduction in the extent of the
industry-so many acres of land, at
present erazed by bands of sheep, which
will be deserted, and must be converted
to farming-and this again means
another and corresponding decrease in
the value of farm products. The pro-
tective tariff once taken from wool,
and it goes out to compete with the
wool of the world-that raised in coun-
tries where it's cost is next to nothing
and price resultantly low. Senator
Roach may argue free wool, and may
theorize and speculate, but if he regards
the interests of the wool growers in
North Dakota, he will not vote for free
wool, and, should he do this, no argu
ments or theories will convince O
growers that his action is to their in
tereste.

In these days Of degenerate comedy
farce, it is refreshing to come across one
that preserves fresh images, and does not
depend upon vulgarity as its chief source of
amusement. Such q play is "Charley's
Aunt" which will be presented here for the
first time next Thursday evening at the
Opera house. Sometimes New York en-
dorsement is not all that it might be, but
"Charley's Aunt had 4 prosperous engage

country it repeated its metropolitan success.

Valued Book.

Quite peculiar circumstance has come
about, from the lot Of old books taken from
the Blaine residence and sold to Francis
O'Connor - old junk.
Among the number was a book, dealing
with the treatment Of wounds during the
war. 1t contained many fine illustrations
and was finely printed and we'll bound. The
book was long and proportionately in width
and was about four inches thick.
James F. Dearborn went to Mr.. Conner
and got three or four of the books, this one
among the number. A gentleman has been
in the city a few days, named G. B.
Maker, veteran of the late war,
and by some means he learned that the
book was among the number Mr.. O'Connor
had bought at the Blaine residence. Mr..
Maker went to him and asked if he could
get the book, and made the remark that he
would pay $40 for it, but nothing was
thought of the statement. Mr.. Dearborn
was told of the gentleman wanting the
book, and it was taken to Mr.. Maker and
sold for So. He said he would have paid
$50 to get it.
1t was valued highly by Mr.. Maker, from
the fact that he had been looking for copy
of it for many years. He even had
Congressman Dingley searching for copy
for him. He had q number of similar
books and this one completed the set.
Another feature of the book, making it
valuable to Mr.. Maker, was that his picture
was in it, showing where he was wounded,
and the method of the treatmen. he re-
ceived, there being an extended account Of
the wound and medical assistance.
Mr.. Maker proved he was the man by
showing the scars of tie wound, as e1-
planned in the book, and he also showed
the bullet taken from his side. Mr.. Maker
is in this vicinity selling books. and now
feels very much pleased over finding the
book he has looked so many years for.

Those Bicycles.

Speaking of the bicycle ordinance, cit
izen said to the JOURNAL Saturday: 81
think the city government will take some
definite step Monday evening in reference
to the bicycle question. My idea is that all
bicycle riders should either be kept off
every sidewalk or some stringent rules
should be formulated to compel them to
avoid inconveniencing the pedestrians. In
my mind there is as much danger on back
street a. any of those named in the
ordinance presented to the city gov
eminent. also think that the ordinance
introduced should be revised before
it passes the city government Further
more believe the wheelmen will take a
fair view of the matter and will act gentle
manly if reasonable code of rules is laid
out"
From the recent issue of the Bicycling
World the following items were taken
1.-The Boston Common Council have passed
a resolution asking the mayor to provide
suitable police protection against fast and
reckless riding on Columbus and other ave-
nues." =
Fulton IN. " officials are considering
an ordinance prohibiting riding on side
walks. - ....--.-.. '-s.--~. --.--
1.-THE Pittsburg (Pa.) common council
has before it an ordinance which will pro-
vide for licensing wheels and oblige rider
to carry lantern and bell"
The fast and reckless riders are the ones
at fault, judging from these items.

cHlLDREN's DAY.
Four Augusta Churches Observed the Day
With Appropriate Exercises.

Sunday was observed as Children's day
at the Methodist, First Baptist, Congrega
tional and Free Baptist churches with ap
propriate exercises. The pulpits and plat
forms were handsomely decorated with pot
ted plants, ferns and other greens, and
most all the various flowers that can be
procured at the greenhouses.
The exercises at each consisted of recita-
lions and singing by the children in the
evening which were very fine and interest
ing to the audience. The programmes
were so extended that we were unable to
print them. At the Methodist church Rev
C. S. Cummings gave very fine sermon
at the evening service on "The Natural
World Revealing God Rev. H. W. Til.
den, ID. D., of Des Moines, Ia,
preached a very interesting sermon
at the First Baptist church on 1.-The Bible
the Highest Source of Culture"
At the Congregational church the chill
dren's exercises were held at the morning
service, and were composed of an appro-
pirate musical and responsive programme,
recitations and singing BY the children,
special selections from the choir and an ad-
dress by the pastor, Rev. ]. S. Williamson,
especially adapted to the occasion and full
of interest.
Rev. f. c. Hayes preached at the Free
Baptist on "Behold what manner of love
the Father hath bestowed upon US that we
should be called the children of God" The
congregations were all large and each of
the programmes pleasingly rendered.
