Who Is 1t.

A hoater was found this week
near the big whirlpool lei Bon
ner's Ferry. The body was entire
ly nude, the feet were wired to-
gether and there were several knife
stabs in the region of the heart.
There is much speculation as to
the identity of the murdered man,
and it is believed the victim came
from this vicinity.
Some think the body found is
that of a brother of Geo. Barron,
who disappeared from Libby about
a yea ago; others think the vic.
tim is one of two Englishmen who
were camped near Kootenai Falls a
year ago last winter. One of them
disappeared suddenly and his part.
ner was arrested and brought tc
this place, but nothing of a crimi-
mating nature could te unearthed
and the prisoner was allowed to
depart.
Several searching parties went
out from this place in earce of the
missing men, but no trace of them
could be found.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Of course the tariff bill passed by the
House is not pleasing to the Democrats or
the free traders But their surprise at the
character of the measure passed is all
feigned. They could not have expected
that a party which espoused the cause of
protection Of American ind ustries and
which had received such an overwhelm-
ing vote Of confidence as the Republican
party did last November would legislate
along Democratic rather than Republi-
can lines They could not expect that in
raising revenue TO relieve the treasury 1t
would impose duties on on-competing
articles of import, like tea and coffee,
when it could raise the required revenue
by duties on competing articles and thus
replenish the treasury and protect home
industries. They could not expect it to
those it selected, unless it were bent on
suicide.
Probably what they expected was that
it would not egislate at all, at least on
revenue matters. What they hopeI was
that the Republicans would turn deaf
ear to the Presidents cry of distress, so
that part of the responsibility for an
empty treasury, and an increasing debt,
might fall on Republican shoulders. But
in this they have been disappointed.
The Republicans have promptly provided
a way for relic wing the treasury way
in accord with their professions and prin-
ciples, and have put the Demo-
cratic President IN a place where he must
either endorse this method, clearly the
method which the people indicated when
they elected the Republican House, or
accept the entire responsibility of defic-
iency in government receipts to pay gov
eminent bills. This is what the Demo-
Gratis really feel bad about, and their
shout about imposing more burdens on
the necessaries of life is raised merely
to cover their discontinue at the prompt
action of the Republican House. q

CURRENT COMMENT.
NAMES EXCEPTIONAL RECORD.
(N.Y. Post.


I he State of Maine has now a record
for unbroken service, in one or other
branch of Congress, on the part of ali of
her delegation, which it is safe TO say
that no other commonwealth has every
equalled in the history of the country.
Frye entered the House of Representa-
tives in 1871 and served there continuous
ly until 1881. when he was promoted to
the Senate as Blaine's successor, and re-
GENTLY began term that will end in 1901.
AT the same time Eugene Hale entered
the Senate as Hamlin's successor, and he
has been twice reelected. Mr. Reed
entered the House in 1877 and has now
entered upon his tenth consecutive term.
Mr.. Dingley joined him in 1881, and
Messrs. Boutelle and Milliken in 1888,
and each of these three has been reelected
every two years since he entered. Until
1888 Maine had five representati yes; since
then only four. Beginning with 1883 and
ending with 1897 the entire delegation in
both Senate and House will have gone
without a single change for period Of
fourteen years. The result is that Maine
has carried off an extraordinary proper
ton of congressional honors Mr.. Heed
is Speaker of the House, Mr.. Frye is to
be president pro tenn of the Senate when
the Republicans come into control of 9the
upper branch, Mr.. Dingley is chairman

The MugWump newspapers still con-
tinue their abuse of President Cleveland.
They are insinuating now that land
speculation scheme was at the bottom
Of his Venezuelan message. This is a lit
tie worse than their accusation that it
was to promote his nomination for
third term. The peculiar thing about
their raid on the President is that they go
ahead with it all unconscious of the fact
that it disoredits them about as much as
it does him. For years they have had
him set mp on pinnacle, and have been
pointing to him as the only pure states
man in the country; they have urged
people to bow down and worship him
and have got very mad indeed with those
who refused. But now, with one accord,
they are saying that this man they pro-
nounced saint, was as heart a corrupt
person, who was ready to plunge his
country into war to promote his own
personal fortunes or those of gang of
land spectators. Infallibilty Of iudg-
ment has always been the Mugwump's
chief claim, superiority over other men
has been his proud boast, but here he is
confessing that for almost a score of
years he COMPOUNDED corrupt and selfish
person with a saint. How can he ever
expect the public to take any stock in his
Judgment again after this exhibition Of
himself?

served to check our progress to perdition?
The speaker, we think took an altogeth
er too gloomy view of the situation. The
liquor traffic has not been extinguished,
there is great deal more of it today than
there ought to be, but there is very
much less open and public drinking in
this city than there was twenty-five years
ago. Then almost, if not quite, everyone.
Of the hotels ran an open bar, not
concealed in the slightest degree. There
is nothing of that kind today. 1t is far
more infrequent too to find liquors on the
tables at public and semi-pubIic dinners
than was the case twenty-five years ago.
AS for the allegations in regard to non-en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law and
apathy on the part of the people, both of
them have been madeTalmost yearly DUR
ing the. last quarter of a century. Indeed
during all that time there was not a sim
gle mayor. scarcely or a. sheriff was
not accused by the friends or enc
mics of prohibition with habitualIy me-
glecting the law or enforcing it partially
for political purposes. So the Eaccusation
Of delinquency on the part of
officials is not new one and
indicates no unusual condition If
the press and the people are apathetic it is
We think, because, they have come to
look upon these annual uprisings two
or three months before election as poiiti :
cal moves, either deliberately planned as
such or likely to be converted into such
by some adroit person who will promise
much and subsequently perform very
little.

That was very doleful picture which
one of the speakers at the Civic League
meeting drew Of the city of Portland of
today. According to this speaker the
condition of the city is more perilous
now than it has been at any other
time in the last quarter of a century.
The press is apathetic, the professional
men are apathetia, the business men are
apathetio and even the clergy are apath-
cite. Yet almost every year during the
last twenty-five we have had revival
such as the Civic League proposes to
iuaugurate, and still we have gone o.
from bad to worse until we have got Into

All respectable people agree that the
Offices should be filed with good men. and
by good men is meant not merely 1nen of
good moral character, but competent
men. But there are two difficulties; first,
it is not always easy, to tell good men !;
and second, good men will not always
serve. If good and competent men only
had some mark upon them by which
they could be readily distinguished from
the opposite kind, the problem of filling
the Offices with good men would be much
simplified. But there is no such mark, and
so it frequently happens that men sup
posed to be fit turnout on trial to be very
unfit Some of the men who have made
the worst failures in public office in this
city during the past twenty five years
have come most highly recommended,
and honestly recommended too as good
men. About the only sure test of
mans competence to fill any particular
office is actual trial. Search as honestly
and carefully as we may for good men
we shall frequently make mistakes The
wise thing to do when good man is Sc
cured is to retain him as long as posi-
Bile.
