GOAT EATS TOWN FUNDS.
Discovers $500 Hidden Under the
House at jamestown.

Grand Rapids, April .. - Some time
ago John Combs, treasurer Of James
town, Ottawa county, decided the safest
way to keep township cash was to place
ii in an iron pot and put it
under his house. He thus slowed away
$500 in bills and 500 in silver. The
house, however had no walls surround
ing the wooden supports, and the FAM
lily goat crawled under and ate the
townships entire stock of greenbacks.
One of the children saw him in the
back yard nibbling at silver dollar
and gave the alarm. Acting upon the
advice of his bondsmen, Combs killed
tie goat. The entire $4OO was found.
sadly mutilated. The bills were sent TO
Washington for redemption, and the
treasury department has succeeded in
indentifying about $3.50. The bondsmen
will have TO paw the rest.

oIsSENsioNs OF DEMOCRATS.
The Dingiey bill Has Supporters In
the Democratic Ranks.


The fact has appeared at the begin
ming of the discussion in the house that
the democratic representatives are more
divided on the tariff than ever before,
and more inclined TO avow change of
sentiment. When a South Carolina
member advocates a duty on the i'm
ports of cotton and is applauded for
taking this stand by members from the
gulf states, it is plain that the old oppo-
sition 10 protective tariff is declining.
Another democratic member took occa-
sion to call Mr.. Cleveland great re-
publican leader" though what this has
TO do with the tariff debate, except to
show that democrats are not deeply in
terested in it, is not clear. The Dingley
main effect is 10 add to the violent diff
ferences of opinion already existing
within the democratic lines.
Representative McLaurin, South
Carolina democrat, favors duty on
cotton to keep out the Egyptian prod
uct, and to encourage the building of
cotton mills in the south. He would be
facture fostered in southern states. He
announces his position boldly in con-
gress, and some of his fellow demo-
Gratis of the cotton belt Endorsed his
speech in a manner not to be mistaken.
II may reasonably be inferred that
the Dingley bill will receive more demo-
cratic support than has been antici-
iuic 10
question of protection has existed from
the first. The proof of the fact can be
traced Enthusiastically TO the Wilson law,
which gave special protection to some
large interests, and was not above
guarding the collar and cuff industry Of
Troy to oblige one of New York's sena-
tors. No surprise need be felt to find
that the breach on this subject in the
democratic party is widening, for a
surprisingly heavy deficit has been
added TO the arguments and motives
that prevented the democrats from
adopting n free trade policy when the
opportunity was open.
The friendless Wilson law found no
defenders even when Representative
nues from the treasury, wasting the re-
sources of the government, stealing
away the earnings of American labor,
and taking from American farms the
market places of the United States and
of the world" If the democrats were
not a unit for the passage of this dis
astrous law, their present condition on
the subject may be imagined, or it can
be judged from the manifestations of
the last few days in congress. AS the
debate proceeded, if it can be called n de-
bate, where the opposition is composed
of factions arrayed against each other,
the crumbling of free trade assumption
will be it's main feature. The Dingley
bill will receive a support greater than
the entire strength of the republican
party in congress, and its passage will
mark an era of increased political
strength for the protective idea.-St.
Louis GlobeDemocrat.

AFTER THE MONEY.
Topinnbee Indians Want the Potta-
watomies to Divide.

Petoskey, April 4. --William Jones
Petoskey, chief of the Topinabee band
of Indians living east of here, is push
ing his claim to share of the 5000, 900
to be distributed among the Potta-
watomies. He claims that he and his
followers are straight Pottawats and
that they were frozen out half genera
ton ago and forced to emigrate. The
Pottawatomies, on the other hand,
claim that the Topinabee band are
mixed Miamis and Chippewas. The
band numbers 6S and would be entitled
to about one-fourth of the division if
their claim is established. Local BUSH
ness men are much interested in the
outcome, for $4,000 or 100000 in the
hands Of such people means a rush of
business.

CJThose democratic who still have
misgivings in regard to a protective
tariff now see clearly that the Dingley
bill is needed revenue measure, as
well as a needed industrial policy. If
some OF the Dingley duties are high be-
cause of protection considerations.
many more of them are high because
the government absolutely needs the
revenues. We have discovered no other
way successfully and equitably to raise
the revenues necessary TO conduct the
affairs of this great government. DEM
ocrats who are talking against the tar
lit in Washington have not as far as we
have seen suggested any other feasible
way of raising the funds of which the
government is just now in need.-iows

A NON-PARTISAN TARIFF.
The Dinglcy Bill Is National in It's
Policy.

It is a matter of history that in the
early days of the republic tariff legisla
ton was not made or married by votes
cast upon party lines. a majority of
the members of the early congresses
were protectionists, but all the protec-
tionists were not federalists nor all the
free traders democrats, or republicans,
as the forbears of the modern democrats
were called. A majority of the federal
lists were protectionists, and so were n
majority Of the republicans. And when
new party alignments were made and
the federalists became wings, and the
republicans came to be known as demo-
Gratis, it was long before protection be-
came a mark of the one and free trade
a note Of the other. Not until Cal
houn's time did the democrats become
tree traders-and even then there were
notable exceptions to the rule, Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson being one.
Again it is becoming evident that the
economies cannot be tied by the ropes
of party. The democrats of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana have discovered that
protection is as good a thing for them as
nois. In very spirited speech in favor
of protection of raw cotton and to the
manufactures of that fiber Mr.. McLau-
rim, of South Carolina, answering n
member who had asked: as not free
trade a pet doctrine of democracy"
said:
ut is the pet doctrine OF the democracy
that is represented by Cleveland and Car
Isle, and by those who have degraded the
name Of democracy"
This is well said. Free trade was not a
pet doctrine of jefferson, nor of Jack
son, nor of Douglas, nor of Tilden. 1t is
a relic Of Calhounism that survives "the
peculiar institution" upon which CAL
hounism was based. Calhoun himself
was at one time n strong protectionist,
and he would have been protectionisG
TO the day of his death but for his per-
ception of the fact that American fac
tories and well-paid American workmen
in the north were ringing the death
knell of slavery in the south.
But slavery is dead. The south ought
to live, and we are sure that it will live,
TO share in the blessings of protection.
The south ought to be as full of fac
tories, foundries and FORCES as the
north; its cities ought to be as numer-
Gus and as large; its artisans and farm
ers as prosperous as those of the north.
Protection is n national, not a party,
policy. The Inter Ocean has preached
this doctrine from the beginning, and
has regretted that the south has insist
ed upon treating as partisan that which
is national. But the end is at hand. The
new tariff is likely to be non-partisan in
that 1T will be approved by n consider
able element Of the democratic organi-
zation.-ChicagD Inter Ocean.
Fortunately the popular mind has
not been so corrupted that it will
accept tho mugwump policy. The coun-
try will sustain Mr.. Dingley and the re-
publican leaders in their labors to put
the tariff bill through.-N. y. Sun
