C1eveIaad,s "Unfortunatc Condition"

ClcveIand's unfortunate condition.
In his message concerning the veto
ing of the immigration bill, eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland said: IAN unfortunate
condition Is certainly presented when
any who are willing to labor are un-
employed" We are glad that Mr..
Cleveland has a realizing sense Of the
misfortune of unemployed labor. 1t
Is a new thing for him to think any
thing about labor or its needs. While
the feeling lasts, we hope he will medi-
tate on what has caused this ''unfor-
tunate condition" All who were will
ig to labor" In 1891 and 1892 were EN-
ployed. 1t was only when Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected to the Presidency, and
the country looked forward to the
adoption of his misunderstanding policy
of f~ree-trade, that any who were will
ing to work could not find employ
ment. This may not be pleasant think
ing for Mr.. Cleveland, but It Is the
truth. If Mr.. Cleveland is sincerely
troubled by this unfortunate condi-
ton" for which he is responsible, he
may take comfort. The end Of that
condition Is near. 1t was to end 1t
that the voters elected Matcr McKin-
ley, the great exponent Of a protective
tariff. to be their President.

Mr.. Cleveland IL Heard From.

Ex-President Cleveland Is a good one
to talk about protecting the fair fame
of our nation against shame and
scandal" This is the expression of
the opening sentence of his New York
speech, at which he and n handful of
his followers made an attack upon the
Republican party for carrying out the
principles laid down In its platform.
If Mr.. Cleveland had %recounted the
scandals OF his own administration,
the sugar-trust scandal, the bond scan
dial, the Chicago Lake Front scandal,
the foreign policy scandal, and num-
bers Of others which might be mention
ed, his speech would have been a good
deal longer and much more interest
ing. AS it was, he devoted 1t to abus-
ing the Republican party because it Is
giving Its first attention to carrying
out the pledges of it's platform, a pro-
tective tariff. an effort for interna-
tIonal bimetallism, and the full main
tenance of the present safe standard

wiison on the Wool Schedule.

For a man who Is not the author OF
the tariff law of 1894 Mr.. Wilson is IN
necessarily disturbed over the radical
departure from its policy as embodied
in the wool schedule of the Dingley
bill. 1t is true that Mr.. Wilson gener-
ally enjoys the distinction of having
constructed the worst tariff bill in the
history of our Government, but this is
not entirely fair to Mr.. Wilson, for no
one can predict with absolute and I'M
erring certainty just what would have
been the result IL Mr.. Wilson's tariff
bill had been adopted al he framed 1t.
No one can accurately calculate just
how many years it would have taken
to recover from the panic If Mr.. VIII
sons bill had become a law without
the 403 amendments which the Senate.
under the advice of Jones and German,
tackled onto it.--ChicagO TimeS-Herald.

M Free Wood PUN.

The Canadian manufacturers Of
wood pulp, represented by a Com
mittee on Free Pulp" headed by John
Morris, the business manager of a New
York free trade newspaper, have been
active in trying to secure free trade for
this product Of Canadian mills. This
committee has just sem out a circular
to publishers throughout the country
urging them to write TO members Of
Congress, and especially 20 members
of the United States Senate, advocat-
ing free trade IN wood pulp, which is
used in the manufacture Of paper. At
ter admitting that the entire event
received from the Government last
year was S105, 2s2; and, therefore, that
mo serious question of national econ
omy or threatening deficits can be
urged in opposition to free pulp" the
committee then attempts to show the
great Importance of this proposition in
favor of popular education through
newspapers. 1t is admitted in this cir
cular that the proposed duty of Sl.66
per ton is practically equal to the pres
ent duty Of 10 per cent. al valorem,
but the al valorem duty gives the i'm
porter a chance for differentiation;
and the free-trader is always In search
of an opportunity for fraud of some
kind either by importations or by fraud
upon American industry.
The appeal of the Committee on
Free Pulp" will not prevail, and the
protection granted by the Dingley bill,
as referred to above, will be imposed
in the tariff of 1897.

IN A WORTHY CAUSE.
A Fair Inaugurated to Pay Off
the Indebtedness Of st.
Joseph's Church.
From the First Two Nights the Under
taking Promises to Be Quite
Successful.

The second night of the bazaar given
by the ladies' aid of st. Joseph's Church
brought out as large crowd as the open
ing night, and the beautiful booths in
charge of the prettily costumed ladies OF
the parish were lfberaily patronized.
The purpose of the fair is 10 raise funds
to pay off some old debts contracted three
years ago on the church cIassrooms and
meeting-halls. In all the indie btedness
amounts to about $4,000 and, judging
from the success s of the first two evenings,
the proceeds from the fair will go a long
way toward meeting thls debt.
All of the booths are beautifully dec
grated with different colored bunting
tastetully harmonIzsd. Perhaps the pret-
test one is the flower pagoda in the
center of the hall, adorned with white
and heliotrope, and at which flowers are
sold. rival of this for popu arity is tn e
icecream booth, patrioticalIy decorate
with red, white and blue. The tab es are
waited on by young ladies OF the class i
'97 of the school.
The entertainment last evening was
singing by fifty young misses about 6
years old. They are pupils of the first
grade under Sister Mary Dominica. Miss

that the Supreme Court will decide in ia

Monday the Supreme Court will decide
