PRorHor1oN AS AN ISSUE

Each day it becomes clearer and
clearer that the Republican party is
trying with all its might and power to
force protection to the front as the is
sue in the presidential campaign of
1896 1t is very doubtful if it will be
able to do SO. That will be the issue
about which the people are thinking
and talking, that is the money ques-
ton.
The Republican party has been max
ing great protestations of friendship
for silver of late, and when it was
sought to take up the tariff bill it was
given as the reason therefor that it
was worse than useless to attempt any
silver legislation so long as Mr.. Cleve-
land was president, thus wilfully blind
ing themselves to the certain fact that
tariff legislation was equally out of the
question so long as the president is
who he is.
In the United States senate yester-
day the Republicans had a chance to
prove the sincerity of their professions
for silver when Senator Allen, of Ne
braska, offered to guarantee them
enough votes to pass the tariff bill If
they would couple it with free coin
age amendment. Holding their tariff
bill aloft, he exclaimed: Now to test
your integrity and good faith offer
this bill. 1t is your tariff bill, and
say to you, if you are ready to show
foi+ IN, ay~+tr f1,.
silver and link it with the tariff bill
we pledge you six Populist votes His
offer was not accepted; they were put
to the test and found wanting. That
they were found wanting is easy of ex-
PLANTATION. The overwhelming MAORI
ty of the Republican party is uncom-
promisingly against the free coinage
of silver: hence that cannot be made
an issue, but some issue there must be.
The party does not want it to be mon
ey. Discussing political matters in
New York the other day, General r.
A. Alger said, speaking of the money
question:
That question has been settled by the
election of an overwhelming RepubIi-
can majority to the national house of
representatives last fall. And the vote
recently on the question in the house
shows how the congressman stand.
But the question of protection has to
be settled.
It is plain that the wish is father tc
the thought, but the thought and wish
are common to many Republicans.
That astutest of politicians, Senator
Sherman, is for the tariff. He has
been trying to ''soft SOLDER the Demo-
Gratis into supporting the Republican
tariff bill. Is there not the vile of the
serpent in this?
I do not see why the Democrats
should oppose the tariff bill It is not
framed on protection lines, and would
increase the revenue sufficiently to re-
lieve the treasury and the administra.
ton from embarrassment. I am entire
ly confident that President Cleveland
would allow the tariff bill to become a
law If 1t passed congress, even though
he did not sign it.
Spacious reasoning but it comes from
the wrong quarter to be accepted with
out the closest scrutiny. It won't do.
Glove the hand with velvet as they will.
the claws Of protection are within lust
the same. It is any plea, every plea. to
make protection, and nothing but pro-
lection, the issue this year. We do not
believe that the attempt will be sue

The party, consisting of hunters,

down such a large tree, one of the
many negroes in attendance volun-
teered to climb the tree and investi-
gate the whereabouts of his coon

All agreed to this and sat around
to await developments. Soon after
the negro had disappeared among
the branches the attention of all was
drawn to a very peculiar sound
emanating from the top of the tree.

iNAPT STATE MECHANICS.
Applications Which Once Fitted Losing
Their Force With Advancing Civilization.

| Applications Which Once Fitted Losing
Their Force With Advancing Civilization.
State nicknames in this country
have begun to lose their aptness.
New Hampshire mare, the Gran
ito State, fits almost as we'll some
other mountainous states, and she
| never really deserved to be called
the Switzerland of America, since
her mountains are but hills COM
| pared with the mountains of Swift
zerland. Several of the Rocky noun
tain states more nearly deserve this
title. Colorado, for example, has Al
noun ainS more than $4,000 feet
high, and, in all, 139 mountains
more than 1850 feet high. Colora-
dos own name of the Centennial
State is one that no other can ever
dispute with her, though it looks
as if Colorado might dispute the
name of Golden" with California.
Names forests are disappearing
so rapidly that some of the nosth-
western states may soon have bet
ter title to the name Pine Tree
State. There are more famous bays
than that of Massachusetts,, and GER
talnly Chesapeake bay, if considered
only as body of water, has moro
distinction than Massachusetts, and,
historically, the Chesapeake is quite
as famous, SO that the name Bay
State might, with aptness, be Civ
| en- to Maryland.
There ara quito as characteristic
green mountains elsewhere in the
United States as those that gave
Vermont her French name. The
Empire State seems inappropriate to
any democratic community, but it is
appropriate to New York if to any
state of the Union, and it is likely
to be long while before even Texas
can lay claim to the title. The name
that Texas takes pride in, the Lone
Star State, is certainly hers by
right, as she is the only state to have
come to be an independent republic,
totally unconfederated with any 9TH
er state. Pennsylvania is no longer
the keystone of the Unions arch,
just as it is no longer politically true
that as Pennsylvania goes so goes
the Union. If Delaware ever desery-
ed her name of the Diamond State,
she certainly cannot claim it against
Rhode Island, since the latter is not
only much smaller, but, as we'll,
much richer.
No state disputes Virginia's pic
turesque name, the Old Dominion,
though few people realize that il
dates back to a time when our At
