Tne GOLD Brick of Protection.

The fundamental mistake made by
the Republicans in framing the Ding
ley bill. and by the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate in doing its patch
work, has been the assumption that
the American people are mostly fools.
There are various kinds of fools, but
the sort of fool the average American
has been taken to be by the tariff
smiths is the one who will accept
words for things indefinitely Phrases
have great power in politics, ,assuredly.
but when they embody falsehood and
are overworked, the gold plating of
the verbal brick wears off and the
brass finally shows through so distinct
ly that even the dullest eye can see it.
"Protection to home industry is
phrsse that has served the Republicans
so well that they have been betrayed
into the error of believing It would
serve them forever. The propositions
barriers in its way, and that a people
can tax themselves rich, have elected
Presidents and Congresses, but they
will do so no more. Americans have
learned their lesson at a heavy cost in
time aud money, but it has been learn
ed. Protection is played out. That is
as plain as any fact in politics can be.
The American people see the Ding
ley bill, as passed by the House and
trimmed by the Senate, as it really is
an elaborate scheme of thievery.
No art of phrasing can conceal from
them that it prostitutes the Govern
ment's power to tax to the uses of the
trusts-that it is scheme to plunder
the working millions for the gain of
the brainy gentlemen who combine to
procure that privilege by filling the
campaign fund of the "Rarty of pro-
tection."
Having put their hand to the Ding
ley plough, the Republicans will not
look back, because they cannot. 1t is
the despotic necessity of the situation
that they must go on with their suicidal
work. The forcing trusts, as well as
their platform and traditions, are be-
hind them. They are between the
devil and the deep sea.
The people having been awakened
to the meaning of protection-awaken-
ened to the knowledge that the party
in power is as to the tariff but the
servant of private interests-it may be
hoped that their intelligence will be
equal to putting two and two together
and arriving at the resulting four. Is
the party which proves itself to be the
likely to be free from the same mas
tership when it comes to the national
finances? Is there single trust which
has been demanding tariff favors at
Washington that has not shown its
willingness to pay handsomely for the
maintenance of the single gold stand
ard? Was not every one of them out
in noble defence of the national
honor" few months ago?-NeW York

set or school of the disciples of Escu-
lapius take the form of openly impugn-
ing the motives, disparaging the intel
ligence, attacking the honor and as
sailing the morality of the Governor of
Missouri. as was done by the Central
District Medical society at Sedalia last
Thursday, then it is time to remind
these gentlemen that they have eyre
giously transcended the bounds of de-
corum and propriety.
1t becomes proper to remind these
excited and reckless members of the
medical profession that when they de-
clare Governor Stephens has forfeited
the respect and esteem of all lovers of
science and humanity, as we'll as the
impartial citizenship of the State" F." be-
cause be put homeopath in charge of
a lunatic asylum. they are reckoning
without the approval of more than
three hundred and fifty thousand citi-
zens who voted for him last November.
When these medicos allow their brains
to become so superheated with profess
siopalprejudice as to cause the owners
of them to assert that the man who
has administered the finances of the
State successfully and economically for
years, and who has been rewarded for
his faithfulness and honesty by the
Democrats of Missouri, who have
placed him in the highest Office in the
State. possesses a shriveled mentality,
is a ''bewildered partisan" and that
.'he has prostituted his high Office for
base purposes and unmanly motives, -
Missouri, whose servant and represen-
tative he is, and offer gratuitous and
fragrant indignity to the third of a
million citizens whose votes last No
vember were and are an Endorsement
of his fitness, his ability and his NOR
ality.
The people naturally expect the
medical fraternity to stick to their
pills, their prescriptions, their banda
ges. their blisters, their scalpels, aud
other instruments of torture, and by
their judicious or inJudicious use of
these aids to health or sickness TO pre-
serve life or to abridge it. But they
are not prepared yet awhile to permit
the members of profession whose
mistakes are buried six feet under
grouad" to run the government and
dictate who shall or shall not fill the
offices.
This restriction. in our judgement,
should apply with equal force and i'm
partiaiity to all schools and subdi-
visions of medicine. whether composed
of the dispensers of big pills or of lit
tie pellets, or of those who give no pills
at all, but get there just the same--k.

lature Acts.
Evansville Courier.
County Auditor Legler yesterday
received notice that the supreme
court had decided against him In
his suit against the state for salary.
Under the existing fee and salary
law the auditor is allowed a very |
small salary and fees up to the
amount Of 81 900 year. Now all
the fees that come into the auditor
office probably do not amount TO-
more than two hundred dollars a
wear. and THIS the official gets
practically no salary. In fact, Mr..
'lLegler has been going into his own
pocket for funds to meet little obi
cations which an official of his rank
must incur, thinking that the court
,, would allow him to collect his salary.
He is thus Just about y 500 out OF
pocket. He brought suit in the
.IVanderburgh circuit court some
time ago and the case was decided
against him. He appealed it, but
the supreme court upheld the de-
I cision OF the circuit court
= Mr.. Legler received the notice
Yesterday and felt very blue Over
u the result. He has not yet received
u the full decision of the court, and
does not know if it states any RENE
y dy. The only remedy that can d
y seen now is for the Legislature t.
"a act. and not only repeal the law
q but make appropriations to pa.
is back salary. This case was onl.
- a test case, and will affect ever.
"a auditor in the state, and the count.
J. treasurers, also, in a lesser degree
If a remedy for the evil is not showl
y soon. every auditor in the state VII
te resign. as there are very few person
"a who are willing to pay for the priv
40 lege Of serving their counties.
n When the law was passed 1t wa
.. certainly acted hastily upon by tn
as Legislators. In recorders and clerks
IRE offices, where the fees are large,
IN works all right, but in the auditor
IN and treasurer's office, where thei
ne are practices ly no fees at all it leave

ng will no doubt be changed IN tn
near future, or otherwise the couI
an ties will have to 60 without auditor

We reiterate the suggestion 70
our enthusiastic annexation friends
to keep cool until they are positive
of their grounds. Many a man who
is reasonably sure" has awakened
to find that one of the links in his
chain suddenly dropped out for
some unaccountable reason. The
news from Washington Is not such
as to guarantee the ratification of
the annexation treaty beyond the
possibility Of doubt. 1t never will
be until the last vote of the two
thirds majority has been cast. If
the people want to whoop it up any
way, we know no reason why they
should not do it, but for them to
dance a jig before they are sure of
the immediate character of the mu-
sic is simply waste of energy and
not indicative of horse sense. Keep
cool gentlemen. There is plenty of
work to be done while waiting for
steamers and there will be no loss
of enthusiasm if the good sense of
patient walters characterizes your
action. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess and we realize that our friends
may soon be able to say II told you
So" Nevertheless the conservative
pathway is safer.
