That Scrap Assessment Again.

The CHRONICLE is always very care
full to publish only those things that
are strictly true. We have been in
the past,are now, and will ever be in
the future, very careful of the truth.
We have nothing TO take back or
nothing to color or smooth over IN
this "scrap assessment affair" What
we had to say two weeks ago,we say
now, knowing that there was an agree
ment and an understanding to steal
this Kent county scrap assessment
and thereby rob three hundred and
sixty citizens, men and freemen,- of
the right of suffrage this year. Frank
Alice was a leading actor in this
affair and his trying to make the pub
lie believe the whole thing was a joke
is done at the earnest solicitation of
a prominent member of the Sauls-
bury family who dislikes to have the
political affairs of The family pub
lished to the world. just why a
Republican should thus stultify him
self to please a Democrat we are at a
loss to understand, but such is the
true state of this case. We know
that our statement regarding this at
fair as published two weeks ago is
strictly true and if there is anybody
who feels hurt and who thinks our
statement untrue, he is welcome to
proceed against us and we will pro-
duce evidence to substantiate all
that we have charged. The fact re-
mains that there was an intention
on the part Of certain Democrats to
steal the scrap assessment Of Kent
county and we have good reasons
for believing that the conspiracy
would have been carried out as
planned had one little mistake in the |
politics of Jake Kirk not been made. |
It was this that saved three hun
bred and sixty votes to the Repub- /
licans of Kent county this year. |
We reaffirm the story and stand by |
it. Those who would put us in a |
disagreeable position for the sake of
a Democrat may have what they |
consider sufficient reasons for doing
so, but we are not going to allow
them 10 succeed. We know the
story as published is true and we
can prove its truthfulness to any
body of disinterested men in our
courts if it becomes necessary.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, April 20, 1896
Mr.. Cleveland's Kindergarten, called by
courtesy his Cabinet is in a state of terror.
Hilary Herbert is in disgrace and Hockey
Smith is afraid that it will be his turn next.
Hilary's disgrace was brought about by
his having given pedagogue Cleveland
false reports as to the condition of affairs
at his home. He told MI Cleveland that
the free silver democrats of Alabama were
more noisy than numerous and that the re-
cent primaries would show the state over
whelminglY for sound money He's sorry
now he told that, and he wont forget the
half hour he spent with Mr. Cleveland
after it became keown that the silver dem
oerats had captured the state bag and bag
gage. Hickey Smith has brought the same
report about Georgia, and, according to ex-
Speaker Crisp and other silver democrats,
they will be found to be no more trust
worthy than those of Hilary Herbert Mr.
Cleveland is just beginning to realize that
the silver democrats are much more likely
to control the Chicago convention than he
is, and the realization hasn't added to his
amiabity.
The last appropriated bilLis now before
the House and will probably be passed this
week. Then the house will only have to
act on the Senate amendment to those ap-
preparation bills which have not yet been
finally disposed of before being ready for
adjournment. Republicans in the House
have no fear Of Senator Gorman's threat
that the present Congress will be arraignsd
on the stump as a do nothing body In
fact they hope the democrats will make
such an attempt. The record Of the present
House has never been excelled for business
like procedure, and the more the democrats
say about the failure of Congress to re- /
lieve the Treasury, the more creditable will
appear the action of the House in promptly
passing the revenue tariff bill that failed in
the Senate
The conclusion Of the House committee
on Ways and Means not to report bill
for a restoration of the reciproe.
iiy policy originated by the late James 6 !
Blaine, which was benefttng American
producers and manufacturers when re-
peaIed by the democratic tariff bill, is on all
fours with common sense. The hearings
before the committee left no doubt that pub
lie sentiment favors a return to the reel
procity, but that return being impossible
while a Democratic president IS in office
The committee wisely decided not to waste
time in preparing a bill and putting it
through the Republican House only to have
t hung up by the non descHpt Senate, as
he revenue tariff bill was, or vetoed BY
Mr. Cleveland if It got through the Senate.

The Constitutional Convention
will be,-as it should be,-controlled
by either one party or the other and
the party which is in control will be
held responsible for all of its pro
visions. If the convention was
equally divided there would be much
temptation to legislate in the inter
est of party as against the people, but
with a clean majority in the conven-
tion this will not be the case, but on
the contrary those in power will rec
ognize their responsibility and frame
a constitution accordingly. Let the
longest pole get the persimmon.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
oulv one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous limiting of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iEhamed you haye a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by catarrb, which is
nothing but an infamed condition ofthe mu
eous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Men For the Navy.

Secretary Herbert gives the best
possible reasons for making the
1000 additional men provided for
in the Navy bill available as soon
as it becomes a law, instead of wait
ing for July l, the beginning Of the
fiscal year.
The three battle ships, Massachu-
sets, Oregon, and Texas, will be
ready for crews by June l , and their
compliments of enlisted men alone
If we nave the correct figures, are
424, 424, and 1862, respectively.
The existing supply of men is nearly
or quite exhausted, and, at all events
it is safe to say that the 900 addi-
tional will all be required for these
ships alone. Besides, the spring
is considered a much better time
for getting men than the summer, as
last years experience showed. The
bill should therefore be amended to
conform with the Secretary's wish
Great Britain's increase in officers
and men within the last four years
has been 1850; that of France,
3.6I5; Of Germany, 1851; of Italy,
1921. Germany's naval strength
in ships may very well be compared
with ours but her personnel. includ-
ipg officers and men,is 81 ,4S1, while
ours, including marines, is only 49,
46O. 1t is true that she has con-
scription in vogue, which allows as
signments to navy as well as army
duty. and hence has more men avail |
able for the former; but she assigns I
to her navy as many Of the con-
scripts as are needed whereas we are
compelled to calculate on having
enough only for those in actual SER
vice. and sometimes put vessels out
of commission in order to get their
crews for new ones that must be
tried.
This fact is at She basis of the pro-
posal to authorize the Navy Depart.
ment to enlist, in case of exigeucy,
Inc naval militia and other volun-
teers for use on the reserve ships,
and also on the auxiliary cruisers.
And this too is the basis ofthe move
ment for organizing another body,to
be called the Naval Reserve, COM .
Dosed Of seafaring men and others
whose occupations are concerned
With ships and their machinery.

Farmers Favoring Protection.

At a meeting Of the Farmers In
stitute held at Danville, Ind, the
following resolution was passed:
ave favor domestic competition
to the fullest degree. We favor the
home market first, last and all the
time, and especially do we favor our
lake shore and seaboard markets as
home markets for the farmers of the
United States, and particularly those
of the Mississippi Valley. As farm
ers, we oppose the additional com
petition of our own products with
the products and labor Of other cOun-
tries. We favor such Protection by
our tariff laws to our interest and
the people at large as will not leave
our people at disadvantage either
in trade, labor, or competition. We
believe that the theory of cheap
labor as a means of constant employ
ment is a delusion, and cannot be
borne out by actual practice. To
exalt and dignity labor is to reward
it we'll, and il cannot be well re.
warded unless the products Of capital
and labor can have a constant and
paying market, and we cannot have
that market without the levying of
duties amply sufficient to cover the
difference in the price of labor and
transportation in other countries en-.
tering into competition with our
own products. We believe that the
history and experience of Tariff legi-
Stature in our own country are safer
guides than theories Of political
economy and should dictate the wis
dom af legislation or absence of leg
islation necessary to restore public
confidence and relieve the present
financial and business depression"

aisle who have been pressing bills carry

Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, is
one Of the heavy hitters on the Republican
side Of the House, and he struck knock
out blow when he said to the Democratic
side Of the House: "You are paraiizsd by
your own utter inefficienoy. The great
feature Of the administration of Grover
Cleveland = tine only feature that will save
him from future contumely-is that when
the bill TO repeal the great revenue-produc-
ing, industry-propagaiting tariff law was
presented to him he said: my name shall
never disgrace its pages. You are at
tempting to place in contrast an admins
tration that paid $4,000, 900 of the pub
lie debt with one that borrowed $780, oo,-
600, and now trembles each day lest the

borrowed is drifting across the water.
Secretary Bowling. of the National
League of Republican clubs. whose head
quarters are at Chicago, is ia Washing
ton on League business His position
gives him excellent facilities for knowing
the trend of sentiment among the rank and
file of Republicans, and he says that nearly
all the requests for political literature, which
are now being received from every section
of the country, at the League headquarters,
ask for tariff speeches and say that the
most important question Of the campaign
will be protection. He says that compare
lively few' requests are received for finan-
cia literature. One of Mr.. Dowling's OBJ
jects in visiting Washington is to arrange
for a supply of Congressional speeches for
distribution.

then intrusted to q waiter to be

had been in the water for half q

do any further injury, the fish was
promptly hit on the head and dis

AudRciously Cool.

The ceremonial of the Chinese

does not now, complete prostration
before the throne, was once the oc.
casion for a display of cool audacity.
In the last century a Persian en-
voy refused to go through the de-
grading ordeal, and directions were
given to the officials to compel him
by strategem to do so.
On arriving one day at the en-
trance to tho hall of audience, the
envoy found no means of going in
except by IA wicket, which would
compel him to stoop very low. With
great presence of mind and consid-
