Notice-Several influential dowagers
have combined together to charter the
steamship Frisco, 5000 tons, for the
purpose of conveying a cargo of disap-
pointed British girls to America, with
a view of disposing of them advantag-
eously in the states. Attention is earn
estiy requested to the circumstance
that presentation at court is desirable,
since Importance is attached to this
social formality across the Atlantic,
and ladies who have attended a draw

to obtain more satisfactory terms than
those who have not. The steamship
Frisco, according to present arrange

New and Old Style Statesmen.

New York World: The American
statesman of the old school had his fail
ings. But he was a man. He did not
sell himself to corporations. He was
not money-sack or the tool of money
sacks He did not go to Wall street to
find his bosom friends and advisers.
He believed in the people and held 1t
to be the duty of all officeholders, from
president to constable, to serve and
represent them, not to attempt to rule
them in defiance of their will and
against their instructions He was a
man to love and to trust, and the world
loses much in losing him. And it has
certainly lost him. The Brices. the

Ohio the omceholder.s State.

Indianapolis Journal: Ohio still
maintains her old reputation of get
ting to the front. Fifteen members of
the present congress from other states
are natives OF that state, including sew
en- senators and eight representatives.
Among these are Senators Elkins OF
West Virginia, Allison of Iowa and our
own tall sycamore of the Wabash"
Representative Hit, though elected
from Illinois, is Buckeye by birth
and a Hoosier by marriage. Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, formerly lieu
tenant governor of that state, though
born in Ohio, was brought up and ed
ucated in this state.

and taxation for private benefits has
this to say: TT cannot be that Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
think they would be disloyal to their
own party if they should recommend
an increase of duties to meet the neces-
sites Of the government"
1t can indeed be that they think Just
this. Their own party has declared
through its only authoritative organ, its
national convention, that taxation for
any other purpose than that of raising
revenue for public purposes is unjusti-
fable and wrong. 1t has declared that
the exercise of the taxing power in
such wise as to enrich the few at the
expense of the many or to enrich any at
the expense of others is robbery.
No matter what may be the position
Of a little handful OF senators who call
themselves Democrats, this is the posi-
ton of the Democratic party as author
itatively declared.
1t follows that the president and the
secretary of the treasury would be dis
loyal to their party as we'll as to their
own convictions of duty if they were
to recommend such an increase of du-
ties as the Republicans propose Any,
such increase would put five times as
much in private pockets as it would put
in the public treasury.
New duties on articles not produced
in this country on a commercial scale,
such as tea and coffee, would produce
revenue without taxing the people, to
enrich classes. But why recommend
anything such thing to a Republican
house of representatives? Everybody
knows that nothing would result-chi-

sherman.s Contradictor, Course.

Boston Post: Senator Sherman ad-
vocates step backward to Mckinley
ism in order to increase the revenue.
He says that all the present trouble
comes from the reduction of duties
by the Democratic tariff How does Sen
ator Sherman reconcile his advice with
the fact that the Democratic tariff has
produced $4,000, 900 more in its first
year than the Mckinley tariff pro-
duced in its last year? Why should
productive tariff be changed for an un-
productive tariff? Five years ago Sen
ator Sherman and his Republican as
sociates fixed up the Mckinley tariff
to reduce the income; the surplus in
the treasury under four years of Demo-
cratic administration had accumulated
too greatly. Aided by Republican ex-
travagance, the Mckinley tariff did the
business only too effectually. Does
Senator Sherman mean to say it would
work the other way now?

Three Truth. for the, Farmer.

Philadelphia Record: If the Ameri-
can farmer will consider this. matter
calmly and without prejudice, he will
become conscious of three truths. First,
that triff levied for protection"
must increase the price of everything
he buys, because the production of such
things can be, and has been, limited
by the trusts and combinations which
have monopolized their manufacture
Second, that it can add nothing to the
price of what he sells, because it is not
within the power of any possible COM
bination of farmers to limit agricultural
production, and the price of the surplus
must necessarily regulate the price of
all. Third, that the only possible out
let for this surplus is to be found in
foreign markets; and a protective tariff
hinders its sale in those markets, be-
cause in order to be protective it must
forbid the acceptance of the only things
that foreigners have to give in ex-
change.

some years since the Republican party

unearned Christmas dinners. The rat
tie Of knife and fork succeeds their
clamor for the renewal of McKinleyiSm.
Having satisfied their appetites for
spoils, they turn from duty to another
gorge. Clearly it is to be a do-nothing
congress, but a Republican congress
usually is when it does not do some
thing disastrous. a merry Christmas

few issues of public policy which will
not be in better hands while they are
away than when they return.-Chicago
Chronicle, December 20.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-01-09

In his inaugural address to the house
Speaker Read intimated that he should
favor the adoption of do-nothing
policy by congress. He said in sub
stance that the last republican con-
gress was applauded for what it did,
and that probably this congress would
receive applause for what it failed to
do.
Speaker Reed, to the extent Of his
power, SO far is enforcing on congress
a do-nothing policy. Congress met and
Reed was elected speaker Dec. 2. The
presidents message was delivered next
day. Since that time nothing has been
done except to adjourn from day to day
or to adjourn Thursday to the follow
ing Monday. The republican members
are scrambling and quarreling over
committee places, which are valuable,
as the committees control legislation,
and in this congress nearly all legisla-
ton will be stuffed with Doodle.
1t is useless to say that Mr.. Reed
came among a lot Of strangers, %aS
elected unexpectedly. TO the speaker
ship and had to make himself 2cQuaint-
ed with a throng of new men before
he could organize the committees. 1t
has been understood for a year that he
would be elected speaker OF this con-
gress. The members commenced their
term of Office March 4. He has had
over year to learn ali about the mem
bers Of the body that has chosen him
as its presiding officer. He might have
had his committee appointments ready
in three days after congress met Is
pecially he should have been as ready
then as he is now to select the chair
men of the leading committees, for in
nearly all cases they will be men with
whom he has been associated in the
house for dozen years or more.
The appointment of the committees
has been delayed so long that the mem
bers already are scattering to their
homes for the Christmas holidays. This
indicates that the committees are not
expected to meet and consider measures
of legislation until long after the new
year opens, and perhaps not then. AS
soon as the names of the committee
men are announced an adjournment
will be had to the second week in jan
uary. 1t will be the middle or the end
of the month before the members get
back again and settle down to bust
ness.
The republican common scolds and
disturbers of the public peace have de-
nouneed President Cleveland from
Washington several days while nego-
tiations relating to Venezuela were
suspended and the report of Secretary

ury awaited his approval. This is mere

,;noW that they could not do anything
| either with Venezuela or the finances
until their congressional committees
were appointed and organized. Prob
ably they will not do anything then.
Speaker Reed says that they expect
public approval for what they fail TO
do Why. then, are they indignant
at President Cleveland because he does
not move actively forward, spur them
to action and force them to abandon a
policy of do-nothingism which they de-
| clared at the start they should follow
