Conditions of Prosperity.

The New York San lectures several
classes of politicians who, it says. ''are
fraternizing in the business of jeering
at the Republicans for the delay in the
hoped for revival of business" '.Yet
business" it says. lean revive and
reach the height of prosperity COM
mensurate with our natural advanta-
ges upon certain conditions only" In
this case the statement of plain, sim
pie fact seems to have been mistaken
for '.jeering." Those who opposed
Mr.. Mckinley in the campaign of last
year are not obliged to keep silent
about the promises made in the last
campaign. The Republican leaders
did promise immediate prosperity with
the election of Mckinley. The mere
moral effect of Republican victory was
to instantly set the wheels moving and
increase the rewards of agriculture.
No doubt great many voters were
influenced by these promises, and it is
proper to hold the promisers to ac-
countability; yea, even to point the
finger of scorn at them. They de-
ceived as many people as they could.
Before the election they never men
toned certain conditions" as neces-
sary to a return of prosperity. Their
cry was Give us the election and you
will be in clover after the returns
come in" Now they want that for
gotten. They cannot be accommoda-
ted
The certain conditions" which the
Sun names as necessary to a business
revival are:
Il. The passage of new tariff bill
that will insure income enough to fill
up the present deficit in the national
revenue.
80 The cessation of .he ruinous
and reactionary warfare on capital
manifested in the stream of legislation
against trusts and capltallstic comol-
nations. .
OF course, it is desirable thing for
the Government income TO be equal to
the outgo. but what has that to do
with the prosperity of the people? Not
a single journal which has rung the
changes on this proposition has made
even respectable attempt to demon
strate it. No reduction has been made

mere threat of its repeal in the future,
involved in the election of hostile
President and Congress, paralyzed its
delicate mechanism. For more than
twenty-one months after the Presideu-
tial election the Mckinley law remain
ed in full force. but its usefulness was
gone. The people continued to pay
the mountainous duties. but their
magical power TO compel prosperity
had disappeared. The vague shadow
OF possible but unknown low tariff in
the distant future was more potent
than the actual workings of high
tariff in the present. Thus it resulted
that. although the Mckinley law was in
force for nearly four years it never got
a chance. according to its friends, TO
show what it could really do 1t went
to its grave, a mute, inglorious Milton.

under the clods of adverse circum-
stance.
The Wilson tariff experienced no
such delay in getting under way. 1t
began its deadly work, as the McKin
ley professors of economies have fire.
quently explained, more than a year
before it was born, and it has continu-
ed its baleful activity every since.
And now there is to be a new and
more stringently protective tariff. but
it has none of the preliminary effects
that protectionists credited to the Will
son bill when it was still without form
and VOID. Mr.. Dingley explains that
his tariff cannot be expected to bring
good times before it is lassed, or even
Immediately after. He thinks that it
will take about year after its pas
sage to get it into good running order.
And if by that time we have a series
of Democratic victories, the melan-
choly history of the Mckinley law may
be repeated. The Advance Agent of
Prosperity works only by sample, and
there is no assurance that he can de-
liver his goods in cloudy weather.
1t really seems hardly worth while
to try to build up protective system
in this country. The vicissitudes OF
politics are so frequent here that a
policy whose usefulness is killed by an
adverse verdict at the polls. and which
can never begin TO produce its promis-
ed effects until after the people have
had time to blast it at the next cleo
ton, is fabric too delicate to be of
any practical use. We might as well
try to raise palm trees out of doors in
a Canadian Winter.-N. y. Journal.

house, near Crab Orchard, in April,
1895, has just been decided in favor of
the defendants by the Kansas City
Court of Appeals, on a technicality.
The religious services were being held
on the inside, while the Ellis boys got
up a discussion on race horses and
other sporting matters on the outside
which grew quite warm, and soon the
larger part of the crowd left the house
to listen to them. The religious peo-
pie present secured an indictment
against the Ellis boys for disturbing
religious worship and when the case
was called for trial the defendants at
torney moved to dismiss on the ground
that the indictment did not state that
the school house was a place set apart
for religious worship. Judge Broad
dus overruled this motion on the
ground that it was petty, obstructive
tactics and gave each of the defendants
three months in jall. The Court ol
Appeals overrules this position and

An assassin several times over nam
ed Jake Griggs was killed while plow'
| ing in a field on the Hutchins farm in
| Dunklin county, on the 18th inst, by
John G. Conner, whose wife had been
led astray by his victim. According
to the Democrat, from which the above
points are taken. Griggs ought to have
met his fate years ago, and we can un-
derstand the relief of the community
at his final taking off. 1t was an cpl
sode that stirred the county to its ut,
termost depths. and reused Bro. Ca
ruthers' corruscating pen TO ecstatic
pitch. We reproduce some of the
more brilliant scintiIlations:

gentle southern zephyr famed his
| tbrobbing brow. The chjrp of bird
sounded as shrill as a steam whistle.
The bois dare limb on which the trusty

forward, Conner got the sights in line,
he touched the trigger and from the
mouth of the steel avengeT sped a

left that small chamber and passed out
through his serpent-like eye. and then
seemingly as if not satisfied that It's
track had been fatal. the messenger
again attacked the body and entered
at a point over where the heart of any
ordinary person il supposed to be. Ii
/ there was a heart there, the metallic
searcher failed to find it. Some say
| that Griggs had no heart. Gomer saw
his hated rival and destroyer of his
home fall-saw him bite the dust.
Even at the great distance at which he
stood. 80 yards, he saw his victim
writhing. blindly elutehing at the
earth, at nothing. He did not utter q
sound. he could not complain of a
death he had probably pictured for
others.

taste, but if We had been doing it. we
