REPUBLICANS DIVIDED.

The Manufacturer shows how far
by three letters on the subject pub
lished in the Philadelphia Press. The
letters are from Senator Teller, Hoar
and Shermar. Mr.. Teller demands
the restoration of Silver by the United
States, Mr.. Hoar is willing to have
silver restored upon certain conditions
which he does not plainly designate,
and Mr.. Sherman does lot want silver
under any conditions.
The Philadelphia Enquirer, a Re-
publican paper, loses its head at the
mere suggestion of restoring silver
and in the name Of PENNSYLVANIA, in
the name of the Republican party,
solemnly protests against yielding
eve a fraction Of an inch to the Sen
ators from the mining camps. 1t says
"give us tariff ard the gold standard
in the st. Louis platform and the Re-
publican party will go on c~onquering
and ruling, but yield to these free sill
yer men and it will live only in his
tory"
The Senators from the mining
camps as the Enquirer pleases to call
them, as we'll as Senators from agri-
cultural States, say give US silver with
the tariff and we will be progressive
and prosperous, and that is better for
the country than the success of any
party. The Populists offer to vote for
the DinGlev bill or the Mckinley bill
with a free coinage amendment, but
the Eastern Republicans say no. In
fact the indications are that New Eng
land does not want the tariff on wool
restored. They get free raw material
under the Wilson act, while the arti-
Giles which they manufacture are pro-
tected, and they care very little for the
unprotected industries of the West.
They objected to a tariff on hides and
claimed that it would ruin the leather
industries of Massachusetts, so in de-
fence to the wishes Of New England
hides were put on the free list when
the Mckinley bill a reported to the
House, though every argument adj
vanced in favor of a tariff on wool
applied with equal force to hides. If
the East raises the cry of tariff 'and
gold, let the West defiantly shout back
tariff and free coinage, and fight it
out on that line.

A Minister Roasted.

A minister in Woodland has been
abusing all who dance, in language
scarcely fit for a bagio. In comment
ing thereon, the Woodland Democrat
says:
"Sublimated idiots who have an in
FIRMLY of their own which is incure-
able are apt to delude themselves with
the idea that their neighbOrs are sim
ilarly afflicted with a weakness Of the
flesh, and man in that state of mind
can hardly be held responsible, be-
u he is more kinds and degrees of
a fool than many inmates of an asy-
lum."
Is it any wonder that so many peO-
pie have such a poor opinion Of min
listers in general, when innocent
amusement is blackguarded as lech-
erous conduct, and when good sweet
hearts, wives and mothers are classed
promiscuously as prostitutes by too
many Of the bowling bigots who wear
the cloth?
The Marysville Appeal says that
such a man as this minister Small
should be treated to a coat Of tar and
feathers. The punishment would GER
tainly not be too severe for the Of
Tense.
