THE Republican party is thankful
for all the aid given by patriotic Dem
ocrats in the late election, and will
give what it promised-sound money.
But it did not sell or barter its prin-
ciple of protection in any single in
stance in the campaign. Its candi-
date was singled out from the many, be
cause he was the peoples ideal Of pro-
lection principles. His platform was
clear and outspoken upon the subject.
and nor the bankrupt condition of
the treasury makes the subject one for
immediate action in the interests Of
the people of the whole Nation.

the dollar. The mint officers have
under consideration plans to prevent
wholesale counterfeiting ofsilver coins,
one of the most feasible Of which is,
to stamp the name of the coin into the
coins made at the minis. The ma
chinery necessary for doing this would
be more difficult for the counterfeiters
to get, and the process of cutting the
letters in one by one with hand stamp
in an accurate manner would be diff.
fcult.

FROM the press dispatches it seems
that the boilers flocked by themselves
when the Republicans met in caucus
Wonder if the silver men are beginning
to realize if silver bill is ever to pass
congress it must come now. With pro.
lection as principle of government,
and the Republicans in control, the
work of the silver agitatOr will cease.

THE smart fake writer's who are tell
ing about "war between Mckinley and
Reed" and "a contest between Sher-
man and Hanna" might well afford to
wait for single fact to base such full
limitations upon. Such correspondents
simply disgrace the profession of
journalism at the national capital.

tary escort. The latter halts just long
enough for the President to hurry into the
white house, take a formal leave of his
predecessor who is then the eX-President,
then he is hustled out to the reviewing
stand by the local committee, and he is
expected to stand there for a number of
hours, bowling and lifting his hat to every
Organiza ton that passes before him. He
is expected to always salute by raising his
hat the chief marshal, the chief of every
division, and the stars and stripes as Of
ten as they appear in line. If the process
sion is a long one, he may have to remain
on the reviewing stand until or o'clock
in the evening. March weather in WASH
ington is very treacherous and several in
auguration days within the past twenty
years have been very severe. 1t was with
all this information at hand that induced
Mr.. Cleveland to propose good substan-
tial luncheon for his successor.
On that occasion President Harrison was
sustained during that long ordeal, which
lasted until long after dark, by sand
wiches, bullion and an occasional hot
"toddy."
The details of the luncheon being. dis
posed of, President Cleveland asked the
committeeman what was expected of the
ex-President after the party returns from
the capitol 1t was suggested that ne
might accompany his successor 10 the re-
viewing stand and help review the process
sion. This suggestion did not meet with
the approval of Mr.. Cleveland. He con-
tended that the occupant of the white
mouse IS ike any OtueT tenant, WliO0S
lease expires every four years. w hen
the new tenant comes in there is nothing
for the old tenant to do but to retire quiet
ly and leave his successor not only IN
full possession of the executive mansion,
but also in full possession of the review
ing stand.
He then recalled an incident in his own
experience a few months previous, when
he was invited to go over to New York to
participate in some public demonstration
given in honor of another man. He
(Cleveland) was compelled to stand up
along side of the other fellow, while the
latter received all the cheers and applause
from the passing crowd. In other words
he contended that it was the incoming
and not the outgoing President who
should preside on the reviewing stand.
This is the first time that Mr.. Cleveland $
absence from the reviewing stand, on that
occasion has been explained.

Bernhardt to Manage Herself.

Sarah Bernhard says that if she re-
turns to America for another tour she
will manage herself. That is to say,
she will engage some one at so much
O week to attend to her business af-
fairs, instead of farming herself out to
Abbey Schoeffel & Grau, as hereto
fore, and this step. it is said, was de-
termined upon long before that firm
failed. l have never been able to COM
prehend why actors of international
fame like Bernhard and Irving need
managing. Their names alone pro-
cure them the best booking through
out the country, and they do not need
the endorsement Of an important man
agerial firm as do Rejane, Coquelin, or
Mounet-Sully, whose success here is
largely a matter of speculation. The
difference to the star is, of course, con-
siderable, for while business manager
can be procured for a modest salary.
big manager shares in the receipts.
and takes from the star thousands of
dollars. The only apparent advantage
to the star in being under the wings
OF big manager is that the latter is
usually willing TO give the artist a
guarantee, but Irving and Bernhardt
do not need guarantees. Theater-goers
flock TO see their performances in the
same spirit in which they go to the
circus.

Getting Ambitious.

To tell the truth the members of the
Cincinnati club are already looking
ahead TO a piece of the Temple Cup
money. Such thought never entered
their heads until they found Just how
well they could play the game. But now
the representatives of Cincinnati are
craning their necks to get a sight of
that lucrative series of games. Ofcourse
the best laid plans of mice and ball
players often go glimmering, but at the
same time there Is no harm in having
that object in view. More power to
your playing. Messrs Reds.
For the first time since he took hold
OF the management of the team Mana
ger Ewing has seen fit to make any
kind OF prediction. He now feels
assured that the Cincinnati club will
finish in the first division, and hopes
for one, two, three honors. Just be-
fore the team left for Chicago recently
Ewing consented to talk.
The men are getting back into
shape again and l see no reason why
we should not do better than break
even with the clubs on this trip" he
said: "Dwyer and Foreman are round
ing to, and everyone knows what that
means. Ehret is pitching as good ball
as any twirler in the league, and Fish
er is better than the majority. so what
reason have we to fear the tail end
clubs?"

LOCOMOTIVES BUILT JAPAN.
Experimental Work Proves Success in
Construction and Ecunomy.


Construction and Economy.
An English consular report recently
published says: Much interest was
created among English builders by the
accounts published in trade journals in
England of the first locomotive built at
the government railway workshops in
Japan, which, it was said was COM
pleted at a cost of Fl 300, while SINH
lar locomotive built in England could
not be placed on the line in Japan,
ready for running, at less cost than
FL 800 pounds. The alleged cost in
Japan was fallacious, no allowance hav-
ing been made for interest on capital,
scientific superintendent and other
charges, all of which woule be taken
into consideration by private builders,
but at the same time there was no
doubt that the cost, no matter how
literally calculated was comparatively
low. Most of its parts were entirely
constructed at the works In
Japan-boiler, water tanks, wheels,
cylinders and valves-and only the
frame plates and a few minor parts
came in a rough state from abroad.
This engine started running on April
26, and has since run over $4,000 miles
with perfect success. lowness in con-
sumption of coal, good hauling capac-
ity and steadiness. Four tender loco
motives have since been built in the
same workshops and are now running
on the Hiogo-Kioto section of the Tok-
kaido railway. They have already run
over $1,000 miles, and in all respects
are giving as complete satisfaction as
the first. Two of the largest private
railway companies are now following
the example set by the government and
trying the experiment of construct
ing their own locomotives. Neither
government nor private companies will,
however. be able for many years yet
to satisfy more than a very small frac-
ton of their requirements in this re-
spect."

In the Thirty-seventh congress he
took a prominent part in the discus
sions relating to the following meas
ures: On the transfer OF certain suits
to the United States courts, on the dis
charge of state prisoners, and on COM
pensated emancipation in Missouri.
In the Thirty-eighth congress he
was prominent in debates resulting
from the following measures On the
oath of senator, on coloreG voters in
Montana, on amending the constitu-
ton. and on confiscation.
One of the political meetings in
which he took a prominent part, and
which is of more local interest per-
haps, than some other even more i'm
portant matters, was that held in April.
1854, when prominent state politicians,
including both democrats and wings,
who were opposed to the course of
Stephen A. Douglas in the senate, con-
vened in the fremont house. Abraham
Lincoln. Lyman Trumbull. Mark Skin
ner, o. II. Browning, John +. Stewart,
David Davis, Norman b. Judd, J. Young
Scammon, Francis G. Sherman and
other well-known men, were present.
At this meeting the politicians pledged
themselves to support the anti-Ne-
braska party, and appointed a commit
tee to agitate the subject. The state
vote of 1880, when Mr.. Trumbull was
pitted as the democratic candidate for
governor against Shelby M. Cnllom,
republican, shows the popularity of the
democratic candidate. At that time Mr..
Cullom won out by vote of 314,565 to
277, 532 votes for Trumbull
Mr.. Trumbull was a member Of the
law firm of Trumbull, Washburne &
Robbins.
