TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIG HIT
(Salem News, Rep.)

The Sebring News takes our esteemed
cotemporary, the Salem Herald, to task
for saying that the precedent establish
ed in Excluding Roberts of Utah from
the house at Washington is a danger
Gus one. The Sebring paper declares
that in the Herald palygamy has found
an apologist. Whatever the troubles of
our cotemporary may be is a matter
which it can look after, but there's a
good deal of gush and rot in the stric-
lures of papers and people who can't see
anything more than falling in line with
whatever is done in the name of moral
ity. Great sins can be committed in
the name of morality as well as in the
name of charity, and it seems that in
the manner of excluding Roberts in
stead of swearing him in on the face
of his credentials and then expelling
him in a constitutional manner the
house of representatives laid down to
public clamor Congressman Little
field, who succeeded the late Nelson
Dingley, made mastery speech in fa-
vor of the minority report of the COM
mittee and in favor of administering
the oath and then expelling Roberts.
Would the Sebring News consider Mr..
Littlefield an apologist for Roberts and
his polygamy? Would 1t consider so
able a Republican paper as the Cleve-
land Leader the supporter of polygamy
because that paper vigorously attack
ed the exclusion notion of the majority
of the committee? Would it censure
| the New York Sun, than which there is
no abler paper published in America
simply because the Sun led the fight for
constitutional procedure in the Rob-
erts case as against the establishment
of q precedent which some day may
send a Republican back to his constit-
uents because he may happen to dis
please a majority Of the Democrats?
There is no excuse for doing thing
wrong when the right manner will serve
the same purpose. There can be no ex'
cuse for committing another wrong
in order to right wrong. And simply
because people and papers differ as tc
the manners and methods they are mo-
to be considered radically and wholly
and irretrieveably wrong. That sort o.
opinion is bigotry in it's most detestabl'
form. We should be tolerant in matters
| that are of so great moment.

TIE WOMAN WITH THE BROOM
New York Sun.l


Bowed by the cares Of cleaning house,
she leans
Upon her broom and gazes through the
dust,
A. wilderness of wrinkles on her face,
And on her head knob of wispy hair.
Who made her slave to sweeping and
to soap,
A thing that smiles not aid that never
rests.
Sanctioned in stall, sister to the cow?
Who loosened and made shrill this
angled jaw?
Who lowered this narrow chest for
blowing up
OF sluggish men-folk and their morning
fire?
Is this the thing you made bride and
brought
To have dominion over earth and home,
To scour the stairs and search the bin
for flour.
To bear the burden Of maternity?
Is this the wife they wove who framed
our law
And pillared a bright land on smiling
homes?
Down all the stretch Of street to the
last house
There is no shape more angular than
hers,
More tongued with gable of her neigh
boris deeds,
More filled with nerve-ache and rheu-
| matte twings,
More fraught with menace of the fryin-
pan.
| o Lord and Masters in our happy land
How with this woman will you make
| account,
How answer her shrill question in thai
| hour
When whirlwinds of such women shake
the polls,
Needless of every precedent and creed
Straight in hysteric haste to right al
wrongs?
How will 1t be with cant of politics,
With king of trade and legislative boss
With cobwebs of Hypocrisy and greed
When she shall take the ballot for he

And sweep away the dust of centuries

near enough to the state Of Kentucky

like the present, publishes a letter CIV
ing some alleged history of the Ken
lucky difficulty, and goes on to say:
Even then Mr.. Goebel would not give
it up. His election law provided that
in case of contest the election might
be taken to the legislature, and he an
nounced that he would contest Taylor's
election" In another part of the same
paper, however, is quoted the "sum-
ming UP" of the case for Taylor by that
"sweet scented" gentleman, Mr.. w. c..
p. Breckenridge. Even he admits that
under the constitution the legislature
has the power to determine the pending
contest" What's the use, though, of
trying to correct? The whole claim of
the Taylor establishment is tissue of
misinformation and Misrepresentation.
The campaign of slander has been car
ried on so long that it has required
several days to get newspapers outside
the immediate vicinity of the recent
tragedy out of the wrong track and
started on the line of the facts. Taylor
and his adherents could not afford to
stand in the light Of the truth.

AN UGLY RIVER ro CROSS.
(Houston, Tex, Post.)


The Republican administration has
come to an ugly stream in the course
of its destiny. This stream is much
swollen and it's approach and exit are
opposed by precipitous banks. Will the
Republican party be able to cross it
without abandoning the old protection
boat in which it has made so many
safe voyages? We will see.
Here are the islands of the Philippine
archipelago, many of which are as
fertile as the valley of the Nile. that
sugar planters say cannot be developed
to the growth of sugar except to the
ruin of the producer in the United
States. The Republican party, swept
along on the rising current of expan-
sion of territory by any means, on the
one extreme demands the illimitable ex-
tension of territory. On the other ex-
treme, the Republican party, relying on
the government to protect the manu-
facturer of sugar and of everything else
by binding with the chain of the tariff
the domestic consumer to the home
market, whence competition is expelled,
cares nothing about how much empire
is extended provided it does not bring
distant competitor into the field which
cannot be destroyed by an inhibitory
tariff.
The wide river of distance that flows
between these two extremes is the
ugly stream the Republican party must
cross. However. it is task and a
quarrel that Republican expansionists
and protectionists must meet alone.

WHAT LINCOLN SAID.

In the light of current events 1t must
be clear that McKinleyism Is synony-
nous with Hannaism, and the latter,
the exponent of everything dangerous
to the government Of the people. Ameri-
can citizens who stop to think will be
impressed by the gulf between the prir-
ciples upon which this nation was
founded, and upon the observance of
which 1t can alone be perpetuated
Mr.. Bryan points out the gulf in his
summing up of the situation published
in the New York Journal.
when the Republican party meets
the speeches Of Abraham Lincoln In
the next campaign, 1t will find that the
gulf between Lincolnism and Hanna
ism is so great, that the admirers OF
the former cannot be followers of the
latter"
Here is the iinpassable gulf dug by
Abraham Lincoln at Lewiston, Aug
ust, 1858, in speech referring to the
wisdom of the men who announce the
American Declaration of independence
to the world. Imagine McKinleyism
Hannalsm, Imperialism, abiding by
such doctrine
| "Wise statesmen, as they were, they
knew the tendency of prosperity tc
breed tyrants; and so they established
these great self-evident truths, that
when in the distant future. some meI
some faction, some interest, should Sc

or none but white men, or none bu

THE FACTS.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

1t has been the habit of poorly in
formed and biased commentators on af-
fairs in Kentucky to blame everything
on the Goebel election law. Some of our
eastern contemporaries which most
effect virtue and knowledge have freely
stated that the contest for Taylor's
seat for governor was conducted under
the provisions of the Goebel election
law, which they set down as an ex-
tremely wicked enactment, though they
never favor their readers with a state
ment of it's provisions. They probably
do not know anything about it, and feel
warranted in their ignorance to say
that it is terrible thing. II the bu-
bonic plague or leprosy should break Out

be blamed on the Goebel election law

If the farmer has an enemy on the

saying don't think!" If the worker, in
any field has an enemy it is he who tip
toes over the face of the earth in the

Colony of BOer Farmers to Be Estab-
1shed in New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A real estate
firm announced today that a colony of
Boer farmers is to be established on
Long Island, between Hickville and Sy.-
osset, in Nassau county. According to
the firm, they have signed contract for
gee Aid Committee and expect twenty
three families of Beers here on Dec. %.
Seventy families in all are to live on the
tract, according to the promoters, and
each is to have from five to twenty-five
acres
The "Boer Refugee Aid Committee"
is said to be an organization that has
branches in Ireland and on the CONT
nent. Among it's representatives in this
country are J. S. Vanburen, of Troy; ].
C. Sewer and F. S. Vanderpool, both
Philadelphia men of means; Svorup Mar
tins, of this city; G. S. Van Shaver. of

Final arrangements for the establish
ment of the Boer colony on large
scale have been closed quietly within the
last few days. The first delegation of
twenty-three families will come to this
city by way of Delagoa Bay and Mar
seilles. The others will follow within a
month, until seventy families are on the
ground. They will represent the best
class of South African farmers. Three
fourths of them come from the Trans
vaal and the others from the Orange
Free State.
