In the opinion OF the Baltimore Sun,
the movement to secure discriminating
duties Oh imports that come To this
country in foreign ships is entitled
TO no popular support "Thera il
already, ii says, lin their interest a
prohibition Of foreign ships engaging
in our coastwise commerce. There is
also prohibition Of Americans owning
foreign built ships Now they want
the consumer to pay extra duties If he
cannot get an American ship to bring
his goods over at Reasonable rate. It
is a shameless proposal. 1t would
probably lead TO retaliation, and thus
defeat the purpose of the greedy pro.
tectionist. 1t takes cargoes both ways
to mako shipping pay. II we allow no
foreign shin to bring goods into our
ports, the foreigner will not allow our
shipowners to carry goods into his
ports. The net result would be hob.
bling OF commerce and an artificial en-
hancement OF prices. The consumer lie
'gougsd' enough already. Let US
have no more artificial restrictions on
commerce 10 his hurt. !" 1t should be
apparent to all that too much has
already been done in this direction.
Tho plea 10 that it is for the "protec
ton Of american commerce. but II
has alwa 4 proved bar to American
commerce. 1T has not brought abou
the construction in this country o
great steamships to carry American
commerce. And in spite Of this, %
aress refuses TO enact law admitting
l. teign ships free to American registry
which would bring work to the ship
yards of this country, make goI
market here 10 ship supplies and fur
nish employment TO American seamen

Here 10 another endorsement OF Me-
Kinlcy by that ardent Republican ad.
yocate Of FREQ silver coinage, the
Wichita, Kansas, Cage.
One Of the strongest and m,-- assur-
ing indications OF McKinley's rSHug-
nance to the single, one.sided convIc-
tions of Wall street, and his friendli-
ness for silver, is in the opposition
found to him in the columns OF the
great metropolitan papers OF New York
City. These papers have scanned every
speech he ever made in Congress- and
upon the stump. They have all the
one tendency, are all for true and real
bimetallism.
Mr.. McKinley's attitude towards
President Cleveland as. the representa-
tive of sound money, as illustrated in
his speeches OF September, 1893, and
September, 1894, was entirely consist
ent with his condemnation OF him in
June, 1890, for having coined only the
minimum amount Of bullion under the
Bland IA llison act from 1885 to 1880, and
for having restrained the Democratic
party throughout his administration
from passing any silver bill. Whst
better proof, what stronger language,
can the friends Of silver and of true
bimetallism demand than the quotation
given by Mckinley at Findlay, on the
9th of September, 1894, less than
twenty months ago?
This is good Republican testimony.
and also the convictions Of a free silver
coinage paper How esn any Republi-
can have the hardihood to assert that

The Sussex Republican prints tho
following editorial; 1.-THE gratuitous
advice that the Democratic press Of
the State is giving the Republicans
concerning corruption funds, vote buy
ing, &C., is like Satan rebuking sin.
After practicibg this mode OF carrying
elections for over 80 years, it i'll be,
comes them to lift their hands in holy
horror, at any sins Of omission or COM
mission in the Republican party" We
beg leave to decidedly differ with our
contemporary. No matter how long the
evil has heen praeticed, or by whom,
it is proper for any or all papers to
turn in and endeavor to eradicate il.
We would be pleased to have the hearty
cooperation Of the Sussex Republican
in the good work.

OF course, with 80 many candidates
in the field, there are some disappoint-
menta in the wake Of the Republican
nomination election of Saturday. Per-
haps the kesnest is that Of Mr. Buck
ingham for comptroller, who was really
the choice Of tho Higgins managers,
but had to be slaughtered in order to
pIacate the strong sentiment that de-
manded the nomination of Kelley. Mr..
Buckingham and his friends, however,
do not relish the manner in which he
was turned down, and are bitter in
their protests.

Whether We have good, bad or in
different Constitution, Gays the Sussex
journal, "depends in large measure
upon the mon who frame 1t. Politi-
clans would frame Constitution for
the classes and for party perpetuation,
while conservative men, chosen free
from party bias. would frame Consti-
tuition for the masses, the whole body
Of people, without regard to section or
party Both parties of each county
should agree upon an equal number
OF able, conservative men from each
party. Then the people could rest as
surea that proper Constitution, or
none at all, would be framedsSShis
question ia the more important blSSase
the Convention would seem to have the
power to rstify whatever Constitution
it should frame. Let the people do their
duty in this matter and not loae sight
OF it in the heat OF the campaign

The New York Evening Post has
issued pamphlet upon McKinley's
record, containing various editorial
articles which have appeared in the Post
during the past ak weeks upon his
financial course in Congress-, and the
series OF letters from special cor
respondent upon his administration as
Governor of Ohio for four years. The
price OF the pamphlet Is 10 cents a copy
or u cents postpaid, and in view OF
McKiney's present ailence on the
money issue, in the face OF the ex-
treme probability of his nomination for
President by the Republican National
Convention, the pamphlet possesses Q
peculiar value and interest at this time.

The following truthful pen picture is
from Democratic Glaasean III the
Sunday Star;
The evidence becomes overwhelming
that tho Republicans are ready to Join
with the Democratic organization to
defeat Addicks and the Addicks party.
There are TO be sure, some members OF
the old organization. whose means Of
Subsistence depend upon thcir ability
to keep in the traces Of aome political
machine. These persona naturally OBJ
ject to such coalition and their objec-
tions are ostensibly hssod upon grounds
Of superior morality and party patriot
ism. In truth, they are ready to defeat
their own party, II by so doing they
can continue a more or less question:
able leadership with all it's attendant
evils Most OF them it ia unnecessary
to name, but they wore the most potent
unconscious adiuncts of the Addicks
programme OF fortnight since; and
their presence and leadership had be-
come SO intoleIable, and their continued
glutinous adhesion to power 10 spite
OF the decent sentiment OF their own
party, had become so offensive that Re.
publicans were determined to shake
them of, let the consequences bs what
they might. They now protest against
party redemption because 1t involves,
as its frat essential feature, their own
well .merited and already too long de.
ferred relegation into obscurity.
But, protest as they may. these party
leeches can no longer avoid losing the
political grip by which they have profit
ed so much, aud their party gained sc
little. They are now thoroughly dis
credited. They have alienated the sup
port of aome OF the bsst mnn in the Re-
publican party, by their arbitrar,
rule, going TO the extent of refusing t.
allow prominent and reputable Repub
leans to go on the delegate tickets fol
the recent State convention, because
they preferred delegates who would d.
their bidding instead of thinking ant
acting for themselves.
But at last they have run thei
course. They have no refuge left. M
party or faction Of a party wants them O
would have them. Hereafter they viii
be compelled to flock by themselves '

JUST LIKE A LOTTERY.
Novel Manner Of Deciding Close
Election Contest at
Kenosha.

Kenosha, Wis, April 11.-[Special.l-
One of the hottest aldermanic contests
in the history of Kenosha has just been
closed 1t was between Barney Nc.
Giyern and Joseph Bendt and the for
mer has been declared the winner.
At the recent election both were candi-
dates in the same ward and the vote was
a tie 1t was alleged on one side that
two of the votes cast were illegal and
an effort was made to have them thrown
out. Two meetings of the council We're
held to settle the matter, but without
success
Finally friends of the two candidates
brought about compromise and it was
decided to draw lots for the prize. The
men met and each selected a straw, the
winning one falling to McGivern:
Another important feature of the con.
test was the fact that the balance Of
power rested on the decision and as
result of McGiyern's election the Demo
Gratis will have a majority of one in the
council

GREEN BAY ROAD SALE.
Judge Seaman Directs that the
Road be Sold on the 18th
of Next Month.

The sale of the Green Bay, Winona
& St. Paul railroad has been fixed by
Judge Seaman to take place on the aft
ernoon of May -. Special Master Hun
ter will have charge of the sale, which will
take place on the steps of the Brown coun-
ty courthouse at Green Bay. The terms
of the decree of sale have not been al
tered the contest over the disposition of
the bonds held by Mr.. Mowry being now
before the court of appeals. The master
is directed to reserve the SUM OF $780,
600, with interest, from the proceeds of
the sale,, in order to protect the bond
holders represented by Mr.. Mowry if the
court Of appeals finds in his favor.
There is a proba bility that the property
will pass into the possession of the Chica-
go 4 Northwestern company. The
Northwestern is about to establish a
car ferry to cross Lake Michigan from
Manitowoc but in order to carry out the
plan of reducing the haul from Mime
apolis to the seaboard a shorter route
will be necessary. The North Western
has excellent connections, with the Green
Bay road, the latter company running
over it's tracks from MERRIAM In order
to reach st. Paul. The Green Bay road
crosses the North-Western's Ashland di-
vision at New London, and in this way
it would give the orth-Western short
route across the state.

AWAITING A VERDICT.
Some Startling Testimony Intro
duced in the O'Donnell Case
at Eau Claire.

Eau Claire. Wis. April 9.-[Special.l-
At al early hour this morning it de-
veloped that District-Attorney Farr had
been taking the evidence of Nina lie
Claire at quiet session Of the jury OF
inquest in the O'Donnell case, lasting
from 7:3O o'clock last night till nearly
morning Vina LeClaire arrived from
Glenwood last night in company with a
deputy sheriff She told the jury about
the case for which O'Donnell was jailed
few months ago on complaint OF his
deceased wife.
The LeClaire woman also testified
that while he was in Jail at Hudson he
wrote her a letter in which he said he
hoped to get rid of his wife soon. that
she, the witness, supposed he meant by
this that he intended to Secure di-
vorce from his wife as he had talked
about that before with the idea of mar
rying her, the witness. She said she
had received at Glenwood four letters
from O'Donnell since he had been in
Eau Claire and in three letters he said
his wife was very sick and liable to die.
In the fourth he said his wife was dead
and he would tell her about it after the
funeral. The witness further testified
that last week she was visited by a
man from Eau Claire. sent to her by
O'Donnell, and that the man told her
that O'Donnell said she wouldn't have to
tell any more than she wanted to about
the case.
The LeClaire woman is about 20 years
of age, of prepossessing appearance and
is the daughter of a well-to-do farmer
near Glenwood. She returns to Glen
wood this morning. The jury will
doubtless return a verdict tonight.
O'Donnell is in Jail.
