! Race.

Shortly after the noon whistle yes
terday, three employees of the Inter
Island Co. might have been seen lined
up on their wheels in front of the In
ter-Island wharf. 1t was to be race
for blood and the championship of the
water front The riders went from
their places in three different direc-
tons, one of the number making B
line for the Wilder wharf, agreed upon
as the finish. Another lost his pedal
and they say that still another lost his
wind. There was a set up job on the
part of the last two, to beat the man
with the blue cap, but they did not
succeed. Neither one was able to eat
any luncheon on account of the unac-
customed eXertiOn.

CURED at Portsmouth this morning,
making fifty families homeless and
causing 800, 900 damage. The fire orig
mated in Whitehurt's hall, on the cor

burned the block to London street. A.
high north wind swept the flames
across London street and half a dozen
small residences on the south side of
that thoroughfare were destroyed.
Huge brands were blown across the
city to the southwark, and at a. m.
the steeple of the Catholic church,
three blocks away, caught fire.
In less than an hour the edifice was
but ruins. The flames spread from the
church to row of residences on High.
street, and while they were burning, the
flying sparks caused another blaze in
Newton, about mile away. 1t was
six hours before the fire was gotten
under control. Assistance was render
ed from Norfolk, and while the fire
was at its height, the militia was called
out to protect property and aid the
firemen. The occupants of nearly all
the houses destroyed lost their house.

LET 1T ALONE.

We are sorry to see the house Of
representatives favoring bill provid-
ing for blanket ballot, which, in adj
dition to the names of all the candi-
dates, shall contain a symbol or device,
by marking which the illiterate or in
different voter can cast a straight par
ty ticket. The arguments are all
against any such amendment of the
election law. The law ought to stand
without further change long enough
for the people to get acquainted with
it. The worst difficulty has been the
constant tinkering with the ballot act
at every session of the legis-
lature since the Australian system
was enacted for Minnesota. One Of
the greatest advantages Of that sys-
the exercise Of intelligence and judg-
ment. The change is intended to mini
mize both There is no more beneficial
feature Of the Australian system than
it's requirement that the voter must
actually select candidate for each of
flee and pass judgment upon the COM
parative claims of all the candidates
for each position to be filled. This is an
educating force in politics, for which
nothing can compensate. Take it away
by catering to the desire for straight
party voting, and you have destroyed a
large share of the benefits derived
from the modern ballot
Again, the argument that the adop-
ton of a common party device will
avoid mistakes and prevent the casting
of imperfect and illegal votes, as hap
pened duringatheIla last election, is prov
ed by experience to be worthless. There
was just as much trouble in the states
where this is a part of the law as in
those that require each candidate to be
marked. In Ohio and in New York
there was the same confusion nOtWith-
standing the use of party emblem,
and encouragement was given to blind
party voting without the least COM
pensating benefit. We hope that the
senate will determine that our present
ballot act is good enough, and that
with the exception of permitting voting
machines to be used when desired, it
ought to be let severely alone.

sultation with the sound money Demo-
Gratis, and with ex-senator Sawyer,
who said that the time had come for
the Republican party to reconsider its
tariff policy Instead of meeting the ex-
pectations of these men, we have the
Dingley bilf.a conceded1y a worse and
more protective measure than the Nc
Kinley act, with Speaker Reed reso-
lutely refusing to organize any other
committees than those necessary to
jam this bill through the house. Is
it remarkable that all Demo-
Gratis feel Z. their gorge rising at
this insolent challenge to a renewal
Of the old conflict? What Is there in
the attitude of the house or senate to
indicate that there is to be any con-
sideration whatever of the monetary
question, and. if there is to be none,
what should any Democrat of any
school care whether a Dingley bill or
moderate" bill is enacted? They
expected a revision Of the tariff to
follow Republican success on protective
lines, but they were led to expect mon
etary legislation that would secure
what they regarded as Of more impor-
lance now than free or freer trade.
Will the Sentinel point out anything
that will warrant confidence that
any such legislation will even be pro-
posed, much less enacted?
The solemn fact is that there Is a
conflict between the principles Of pro-
lection and free trade as irrepressible
as was that between slavery and free
dom. AS no compromises, no "moder-
ate' measures, even no solemn pledge
of the Republicans not to interfere
with slavery where it existed could
avoid the constant agitation and final
struggle to the death in the one case,
SO now the same principles are in q
conflict that will never end until one
or the other is permanently enthroned
in our national policy. AS long as men
exist who believe that a sacred and in
are refused the free exchange of their
products, as hong as they believe that
such denial is virtual slavery the ap-
preparation of a portion of their earn
ings by others without recompense,
just so long will this battle wage and
rage. The very conditions of today,
existing in spite Of and in disregard of
the issue of the last campaign, show
the impossibility of settling the con-
f1ict by COMPROMISES or makeshifts,
show how implacable is the antagon-
ism between theatw principles. What
conditions might be had the Dingley
bill been moderate" it is useless to
a theory that confronts u.s.

hearing the wool growers, Judge Law
renee, the Ohio shepherd, said that
1S,000,o00 pounds Of shoddy We're used
in this country last year in making
woolens, displacing 54,O0o,O0 pounds of
native wool. The imports Of shoddy
were 1,900133 pounds, leaving about
100000 pounds as the product Of our
own mills. Asked if the tax Of 80 cents
pound would not increase the use Of
shoddy made from American rags, he
admitted that it would, "but, with a
little American wool worked in, it
would be good thing" Later, there
appeared before the committee Sig
mund Mulhauser, Of Cleveland, who
has the largest shoddy mill in the coun-
try, employing 700 hands, who argued
for the restoration of the 3O-cent tax,
and Informed the committee that his
business had 'fourished better under
the Mckinley than under the German
act"
MIR. Mulhauser does not share the alb
horrence of the Tribune for what the
latter terms fraudulent goods" and
"swindling stuff" He regards himself
as the poor mans friend "The poor
man can't afford to wear wooden
clothes" he told the committee. 1.-THE
poor man can't afford to buy wool that

showed that shoddy was made by raw

THE "DINGLEY sHODDY KILLER,

THE "DINGLEY SHODDY KILLER
Thus the New York Tribune char
acterizes the restoration of the tax of
80 cents a pound on shoddy, mungo,
docks and wastes, the three last being
only other trade terms for shoddy or
its material. 1t characterizcs all the
cheaper wOolens, that cost abroad from
below 80 cents to 20 cents a yard as
shoddy goods, swindling stuff On
which the Dingley bill lays heavier
rates than did the Mckinley act, rates
"above any ever imposed" ranging
from $50 to IT'S per cent. On goods cost
ing II cents and upward yard the rate
runs down to Sc per cent; on those cost
ing more, the greater the cost the low
er the rate. Thus shoddy cloths, as
well as shoddy, are to be barred out
to "the great satisfaction of the Amer
lean people" by this measure, (which
makes it about as profitable for the
British shOddy manufacturer to send
his goods to the hottest place as to
the United States"
And the ShOddy and ShOddy cloth
makers in the United States chuckle
and pat the Tribune on the back and
say: That's the ticket. Larrup John
Bull, but keep still about us. Between
you and us and the gate post you are
off your base about killing shoddy, but
your heart is in the right place, if your
facts aren't. Go ahead, lambast John
and pat Dingley on the back" And
good cause have these makers of shod-
dies to praise Dingley and his stout
defenders in the press. No branch of
our wooden cloth making was so pros
porous as was the making Of shoddy
during the four years of the Mckinley
act, with its tax Of 80 cents a pound on
shoddy and its stiff rates on the cheap
grades of woolens. They throve, while
the makers of strictly ali wool goods
languished.
