Senator, this corporation was
greatly surprised and disp1eased
because he was not the kind of man
it wanted. Up to that time for
many years, the Senators had been
the special friends and attorneys of

to them, that they called him the
accidental Senator.
While serving in the Senate Mr..
Higgins was a member of the Com

chairman all, or a part of the time;
and we understand that he did not
please them in that position.
At the next election, specicI care
was taken by the agents of the com
pany to get friends enough on the
Republican ticket for the Legisla-
ture to defeat him; which they did
by inducing several members of
that party to refuse to go into the
party caucus, and also in the joint
assembly ofthe two Houses to sup
port him, though the Republicans
were in the majority, and the ma
jority of the party did support him
while the recalcatrants voted for
the Pennsylvania railroad man.
This was the beginning of the
division Of the Republican party in
this State, and this argument was
r urged upon the recalcatrants in the
strongest terms at that time, and
they were pressed to go into the
caucus and abide its decision, as nc

THE great hue and cry against
Mr.. Addicks promulgated through
out the State and the nation also,
is chiefly the work of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and its paid attor-
neys and hired agents. 1t is more
responsible for the failure to elect
Senators from this State than is
Mr.. Addicks, or any other power.
The simple truth is, that it rules
this State as well as the adjoining
ones of Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, and is now trying its hand upon
the State and City of New York.

THE outcome of the fox hunting
troubles of Milford Neck, has been
an assault on respectable farmer

of three other respectable farmers

a severe penalty for both sides to

the law has been melted out and a
terrible punishment is inflicted upon
innocent women and children who

Where Should It eeoin?

We have searched the pages of the
tariff reform sheets diligently Of
late, and have utterly failed to find
where revision" should begin. Nc
one supposes for a moment that re-
vision means any raising of present
rates-it means cutting down. AS we
are all selfish let us see where the in
terest of the Iowa man who wants
tariff reform" comes in. The people
who buy and eat beef, say cheap beef.
Very well, let us take of the tariff on
cattle from Canada and Mexico. How
would the Iowa farmers like to COM
pete with cattle raised on fifty dollar
an acre land with those raised where
grazing is free? Suppose the tariff
on leather was reduced, so as to give
us cheaper shoes and harnesses; let
hides in free from South Africa? And
if we let wheat grown in Canada in
free wouldn't four be cheaper? So
about wooden goods. They might be
cheaper, if we had free wool from Cen
trail and South America, but where
does the Iowa farmer who raises sheep
come in? In short, where is there
an article that can be placed on the
free list or the tariff reduced upon that
it does not hit the Iowa farmer? Won't
somebody tell us?-Hampton Qowa,
Recorder.

Babies are one of the incidents OF
marriage. There are fewer marriages
every year.
They have great 1arks sometimes
with young couples by ignoring the

girls.
Another joke they are fond Of is

They are not much to look at, and
a man has been known to knock an
other man down for telling him he was
once one of them.

Small Bows.

Small boys are looked upon by the
devil with some pride as one of his
most successful inventions.
After careful consideration one is
forced to the conclusion that they
have not. a single good quality.
They are never thoroughly happy
unless they are killing either their
sisters fayorite doll or their little
sister. They are only truthful when
drawing attention to the physical Pc
They will not be affectionate unless
their hands and mouth are jammy
after tea and you have a new suit on.
And they are SO noisy that married
men who own one of them can sleep
in the parrot house at the zoo.
And when once the small boy is
here he stays. You may try what you
will to get rid of him. Perch him
for the first time in his life on a BIZ
cycle, and allow him to ride down the
steep hill without a brake, and it will
be the good old lady crossing the road
who dies. Send him to the river with
little boat to sail, and it will be the
little boat that gets drowned. Place
a box of matches in his way, and it
will be the handsome Persian rug that
becomes ashes. The parents will al
ways be baff1ed.
religious people have been known to

There is another sort who is always
quite good. He is much worse, and,
fortunately, dies young.

Hon. Chas- A. Moore, President Amer.
lean Protective Tariff League, 13s
West Twenty-third Street, New
York:
Your telegram sincerely appreciat-
ed, but 1 do not feel justified in with
drawing declination- But my harness

action will strengthen the great cause
of American protection.
ID. B. Henderson"
Other kilograms of the same tenor
were sent by members of the national
committee and the national congress
sional committee, Senators Allison,
Hanna, Spooner, Lodge, Fairbanks and
others.
Despite these and a host of other
dispatches imploring him not to aban-
don the field, the speaker refused to
reconsider his withdrawal. To Late
Young and S. w. Rathbun he sent this
reply:
Cannot reconsider, for after an age
spent in fighting for my country, state
and district I cannot acquiesce in adj
ministering free trade poison to cure
the trust evil, which l abhor."
The enemies of Republicanism and
protectionism hail this event as the
first pronounced symptom of dissen-
sion and division in the ranks of the
dominant party, as the beginning of
the end. They may be right Much
depends upon what the responsible
leaders of that party propose to do
about it; whether they shall coddle or
condemn the base betrayal of Repub-
1ican faith by which an honest and a
conscientious Republican is forced
from a position of exalted usefulness
to his party and to his country /;
whether, in short, the Iowa idea shall
be palliated and excused as an ex-
preston which, after all, really means
nothing hostile to true Republicantsm.
or whether it shall be denounced and
repudiated as a false and treacherous
thing it really 1t. Much, we say, de-
ponds upon the manner in which the
Iowa idea shall be treated by those
high in authority and control in the
Republican party. The responsibility
is a heavy one, and just as 1T shall be
discharged with timidity or with fear
lessness SO will the outcome be to the
cause of Republcanism and protec
