HERE is the language used by Mr.
Bayard, in his speech at Edinburgh,
Scotland, for which the hypercritical
Republican statesmen of the House
of Representatives saw fit to censure
the Ambassador
In my own country | have wit
messed the Unsuitable growth of that
form of state socialism styled spro-
tection,' which l believe has done
more to foster class legislation and
create inequality of fortune, to cor
rupt public life, TO Danish men of in
dependent mind and character from
the public councils, to lower the tone
of national representation, blunt pub
lie conscience, create false standards
in the popular mind, to tamiliarize
1t with reliance upon state aid and
guardianship in private affairs, di.
Vorce ethics from politics, and place
politics upon the low level of mer-
cenary scramble, than any other sim
gle cause.
Ii (the said policy of protectinn)
has unhcsitatingly allied itself with
every policy which tends to com
mercial isolation, dangerously de-
pletes the treasury, and sapS the
popular conscience by schemes of
corrupting favor and largesse to spe-
cial classes whose support is thereby
attracted. Thus it has done so much
to throw legislation into the political
market, where jobhers and chafferers
take the place of statesmen"
Mr.. Bayard never spoke the truth
more clearly, but the truth is the
very thing that hurts sometimes.

SAYS Gov. Fleming, one of the
School Book board, "there can be
no denial of the fact that the law
passed by the last Legislature 1.-THE
School Book law is about the most
bunglesome piece of legislation ever
placed upon our statutes, and shows
as clearly as anything else they did
the absolute incompetency of a Re.
publican Legislature. Should new
contract have to be made without a
free exchange of old books il will
cost the people of the State many
thousands of dollars"

THE Hon. Charles Philip Snyder,
late Democratic member Of Congress
from this district, announces himself
a candidate for reelection to the
Judgeship of the Criminal Court of
kanawha county, subject to the re-
suit of the Republican Primary cleo
ton. Mr.. Snyder was elected to
this office some years ago as Dem o.
crat, and as the Republicans have a
large majority in Kanawha he will
hardly be able to convince any one
that his change of faith was due to
anything else than a desire to hold
on to the Criminal Judgeship.

Mr.. Bayard CCnSured.

After an Interesting debate Of three
days the House Of Representatives
on Friday last, passed, by a party
vote, the resolutions reported from
consuming Hon. Thos. +. Bayard,
Ambassador to England, for certain
speeches made by him last fail at
Boston, England, and Edinburgh,
Scotland, asSailing the principle of
high protection. The vote stood $50
to Il in favor of the first resolution
and l9l to 80 in favor OF the second.
Five Republicans voted against the
resolution Of censure and six Demo-
Gratis voted for il. All the iCpuhli-
cans and nine Democrats voted for
the second resolution, which simply
declares the opinion Of the House
"public speeches by our diplomatic
or consular officers abroad which dis
play partisanship or which condemn
any political party or party policy
or organization of citizens in the
United States are in derelictiou of
the duty Of such officers, impair their
usefulness as public servants, and di.
minish the confidence which they
should always command at home and
abroad"
To say the worst, Mr.. Bayard was
guilty Of nothing more than a slight
iudiscretion, and the Republican
party in the House has bclittlcd itself
in the estimation Of the public by
grossly magnifying the offensp, if
otfense it was. The truth is they
were stung by the caustic obscrva.
tons of Mr.. Bayard on the evil cf-
fects of policy founded on selfish
greed and condemned by the eulight-
ened judgment of mankind. The
partisan vote by which the rcsolu-
tions were passed rob them of all
significance and weight.

4 Conference.

\ conference was held at Hotel
Page in Washington on the evening
of the 10Th, between the free silver
Republican Senators and Representa-
tives from the West and large
number Of representative Philadel-
phia manufacturers, who seek to
link protection and bimetalism and
to make this the shibboleth of the
G. .. p. in the coming campaign
Senator Dubois presided, and during
the conference, which lasted nearly
four hours, speeches were made by
Senators Teller, Jones, Carter, Man
tie, Cannon and others. These Sena-
tors gave the manufacturers to un-
derstand very distinctly that they
need not hope for any tariff legisla-
ton either by this Congress or the
next except upon the condition of
the rehabilitation of the white
metal.
President Dornan, Of the Manu-
tacturers' Club of Philadelphia, eX-
pressed the opinion that tariff duties
could not be made high enough to
protect our manufacturers if our
country remained on gold basis
Mr.. James DobSon, the great carpet
manufacturer, came out unQuali-
tiedly for free coinage, by interna-
tional agreement, if possible, other
wise by independent action. He be-
lieved that independent action would
induce International action. Free
coinage might create temporary dis.
turbances, but it was the quickest
way to permanent relief from the
ills from which the country is now
suffering.
Henry a. Frye, of Philadelphia,
said that the sooner we took indie.
pendent action for bimetalism the
better it would be. He declared for
protection and bimetalism.
Other manufacturers uttered SINH
lar sentiments. An invitation was
extended to the Senators to attend
another meeting to be held at the
Manufacturers Club, Philadelphia,
at an early day.

FAT FRYING.-Senators Cullom,
Chandler and many other Republi-
cans are loud in their denunciations
of the methods employed by Nc
Kinley's managers to boom their
candidate for the Presidency. The
fat frying process, they say, is now
being worked for all there is in it
and heavy levies are being laid upon
Eastern manufacturers for the money
with which to aid the aspirations of
their champion. The fact that Nc
kinley has the manufacturers at his
back with the thousands they are
willing to eXpend to secure his nomi.
ton seems likely to force the other
aspirants into a combination against
him. 1t is case of Mckinley
against the field, with chances lust
now strongly In favor of the former.
His nomination will be a distinct
victory for the manufacturers, who
were allowed to write their own rates
in the bill which bears McKinley,s
name.

member of the School Book board

ring to the recent meeting of the
board in Charleston, said last week
in an interview
1--WE received no bids whatever
from publishers willing to furnish
spoilers, readers, grammars, arith-
metics and algebras on terms of even
exchange, as provided by the new
law. OF course the effect of this is
that there will be no change Of text
books in these branches unless the
next Legislature should provide
terms that the publishers can afford
to meet. AS the matter now stands
the schools will doubtless continue
to use the books they now have,
which, so far as | know, are accepta.

must bear in mind that by reason OF
