Another Roorbsck Against Jones.

The fake story, started in Milwau-
kee for the benefit Of another candi-
date. that w. A. Jones had with
drawn from the contest for speaker,
having been promptly and effectually
exploded, another canard emanating
from the same city, and presumably
in the same cause, Is started, to the
effect that Mr.. Jones is candidate
only to advance his chance OF being
made chairman Of the railroad COM
mittee, which, 1t Is said, he desires.
This story is unwarranted as the
first, and its PRONUNCIATION serves to
strengthen the evidences that Mr..
Jones is considered so formidable a
candidate for the speakership that
desperate methods are necessary to
defeat him. One fact about the
speakership contest seems to be that
Mr.. Jones is naturally very strong
with the rural members, who are not
under immediate control Of any or
ganized management, hence the
efforts to create among the indepen-
dent and unpledged members an i'm
preston that he is not in the race
with any hope OF success. This line
Of operation is likely to fail Of its
object however, being started so early
that its character must become APP
parent, and ought to react in Mr..
Jones favor. At the present writing
the situation is, that there are four
candidates, OF whom neither Is be-
lieved to have any decided lead OF
the others.

Tariff Issue Saved The Day.

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, In letter to the Tippecanoe
Club, the leading republican organ
ization Of the state, said:
I'VE rightly based our arguments
against Mr. Bryan upon the nnwis-
dom of the immediate free coinage
Of silver by the United States alone:
but much fear upon that issue alone
we should have lost states enough IN
the Mississippi valley to have de-
feated Mckinley What then saved
the fight? Simply the tariff issue.
"In 1891 those states made up their
minds they would break the power
of the democratic party and secure
all necdful protective tariff laws.
That resolution they elung to in spite
OF all attempts to change 1t, and the
voters thus influenced saved us the
election. To I've sure, Bryan assaulted
the tariff and helped to destroy the
democratic party, and Palmer and
Buckner also assailed the tariff and
helped elect Mckinley and Hobart.
But neither the unsound money
democrats nor the sound-money
democrats will expect the republican
party to falter in enacting tariff laws.
Indeed, the New Hampshire demo-
Gratis in the convention of last spring
unanimously dec Jared they favor
incidental protection. SO here in
New Hampshire, at least, we are al.
united in favor of an adequate tariff
to keep open the mills of Manchester,
furnish fuller living wages to Ia
Dor, and restore to the whole coun-
try the prosperity of the last year Of
Harrison's administration in 1892.
When there is something TO quarrel
about | will be on hand. But for Il
long time let us have peace. Sim

Lumber Mills In Wisconsin.

full crew. So the number Of hands il
practically the same in poor year al

much less than the decline in prices, as
there is point beyond which we can.
not go, and we have got there now. In
1892 we started our mill Just as early
i'll the spring as possible. When the
days got long, we added an extra hour
paying extra therefor, and continued
running until ice formed. This season
we did not start up until the last 81
May, instead of the middle of March, a.
customary, and will close our seasons
cut at least a month earlier than usual
getting in about two-t thirds of seasons
run. This is more than the average
time for the mills here, which will moi
run more than half time, as their yard,
are piled full of lumber. for which there
is no sale. j. H. JENKINS,

A Blundering Foreign Policy.

1t happens as we have explained
that the Venezuelan dispute seems
to be reaching creditable conclu-
sion; but, speaking in general, 1t is
plain enough that Mr.. Cleveland's
future reputation will not be in
debted to any general aptitude he
has shown IA the handling OF foreign
questions. Incidents in his Hawaiian
policy might well tax the credulity
of future generations. Surely moth
ing more extraordinary ever hap
pened in the annals of American
diplomacy, IL indeed it is true that
the administration attempted Ia
overthrow the republic and reinstate
the queen through an American
minister sent to Hawaii with his
credentials to the president of the
republic in one pocket, and secret
messages to discredited Liliuokalani
in another. The threatening sem
fences gratuitously appended to the
Venezuelan ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by
the whole world as meaning war
with Great Britain-were a worse
mistake than the Hawaiian policy,
when judged by the usual Standards
of diplomatic intercourse. But If
the scheme to overthrow the Hawai-
ian republic and the challenge to
England are to be regP 'ded as di-
plomatic "sins of commits on" what
shall be said concerning the diplo-
matte ssins of ommission' charge
able against this administration?
No American citizen finds his life or
his possessions in jeopardy as a con-
sequence of the forty-years dispute
over the Venezuelan boundary; and
50 far rs this country is concerned
the postponement Of that question
would have meant nothing serious.
But the situation in the Turkish
empire has demanded from our
government the prompt and vigorous
defense Of American rights and the
protection of American interests.
The appeal has been TO duh ears If
not to perverted sympathies.-From

Wise Legislation Needed.

l admit the depressed and unusual
conditions now existing that have most
injuriously affected the producers of all
commodities, the farmer, the laborel
and the manufacturer. The disastrous
policy of this administration has lessen
ed the price Of all articles Of production,
has driven labor into enforced idleness,
has unsettled all values and discourage
ed enterprise of whatever character.
These abnormal conditions, hold, are
the result Of unwise legislation and in,
dependent of the money question They
may be corrected and the favorable con
ditions existing under the last Repub-
liean administration can be restored by
wise and proper legislation Hon Rob

are senators who are willing to
accept cabinet portfolios.
Chairman Cannon, of the house
appropriation committee, who is
already up to his ears in the work of
preparing the regular appropriation
bills, was asked to outline the policy
that would be followed by his COM
mittee at this session OF congress.
In reply he said: "The committee
will no doubt recommend appropri-
ations for an efficient public service.
The receipts Of the government,
however, are less than the expen-
ditures, and this deficit has been and
is being made up by borrowing
money at interest. AS long as this
situation continues the appropri-
ations and expenditures should be
held down rigidly to the smallest
aggregate compatible with the
efficiency of the public service. No
new expenditures ought to be, and
in my judgment none will be, author
lied that are not absolutely indis-
pensible for the public safety and
the preservation Of the national
honor. In other words, no new ex-
penditure will be authorized while
this condition exists, however de-
sirable they may be or would be II
we had the income to cover them"
If this policy be strictly followed
there will be no new public build
ings authorized at this session.
"Silver Dick" Bland, of Mo, is the
fifth democrat who has entered the
fight for the leadership of the
minority in the next house. Strange
to say the fight for this position has
already begun and is getting de-

pie find it difficult to understand
why.

judiciously imposed upon those foreign
products the like of which are produced

product. 1t makes it bear the burden Oh

Representative Grosvenor did not
let any grass grow on the mischief
making story that he was to be Il
candidate for speaker of the next
house. He not only denied the story,
but took occasion to say what every
republican in congress knows to be
true, that Speaker Reed will have
no opponent for reelection before
the republican caucus of the next
house.
Mr.. Cleveland may not be trying
TO play into the hands Of those who
are trying to prevent any general
revision Of the tariff by the next
congress, but that is about the only
construction that can be placed up
on his having limited to a senator
that he would allow the Dingley bill
to become law without his sigma
ture if the senate passed il ut this
session without further amendment.
Had he desired the bill to become n
law 1T the last session he could
easily have accomplished It, as he
could have controlled the votes Of
enough democratic senators to have
offset the votes Of the jecting silver
republicans.
Senator Lodge has put a stop 70 all
the talk Of the probability of his
going into the cabinet OF the diplo-
matte service by saying. There is

DISEASE IN FOWLS.

Fowls are subject to disease Known
rs anthrax, the results Of whio is to
produce boils or purulent swellings on
various parts of the body. Sometimes
the combs turn black and at other
times blush, both showing that the
blood is darker tnan usual, whence the
name of the disease, which means
black. 1t Is contagious, and generally
fatal, so that it is not worth the trouble
and time to try to save them, but it is
best to kill the diseased ones and purify
the house by burning sulphur in it and
limewashing it, by which the others
may be saved. 1t is well, too, to give
the other fowls each teaspoonful OF
solution of hyposulphate Of soda in wa
ter as strong as it can be made2a sat
urated solution, as it is termed-once
day, and mix a little of 1t in some soft
food. 1t is encouraged by giving too
much grain food, and no fresh green
food, such as chopped cabbage, which
Is a natural substitute for the grass OBJ
tanned In the summer.
