The TOllsste War.

From the Boston Advertiser
The war against toll gates which rs
now being waged fercely In Indiana. Is
the protest OF progress againt an institu-
tion that Is an anachronlsm. In Indiana
an dother States Of the Middle West and
South the toll gate at the toll bridge,
which once was 80 common on the New
England turnpike, stli exists ana every
where the collection OF toll from foot pas
scngers and traffic In general is am irrftant
TO the community. In one county, where
the county commissioners had refused 10
buy the "tolled" roads. 100 farmers. armed
with guns, pistols and axes attacked seven
bridges in one night, and like modern
Horatius, cut away the gates at the
bridges on the highways.
The corporations which control the
roads. bridges, and toll gates have grown
nich The proper course for the State rs
TO buy these roads and maintain an open
door" The toll gate, the toll bridge. and
the toll road served their purpose In the
days Of the stage coach, and while the
iawlessness OF the Indiana farmers Is not
TO be excused, the state has its remedy
In exercising its right Of eminent domain.

And so is man.
He's satisfied to be the least:
And so IS man.
Like man he may be taught some

lie does his work from s TO o;
The mule-when he gets mad he kicks;
And SO does man.
The mule-he has a load to pull;
And SO has man.
He's happiest when he Is full;
And so is man.
Like man he holds a patient poise
And when his works done will rejoice
The mule-he likes to hear his voice;
And so does man.
The mule-he has faults 'tis true;
And so has man.
He does some things he should not do;
And SO does man.
Like man he doesn't yearn for style.
But wants contentment all the while.
The mule-he has a lovely smile
And so has man.
The mule is sometimes kind and good I;

And SO does man.
Like man he balks at gaudy dress
And all outlandish foolishness

Railroad Mans Hnnr.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
Indiana, with all her faults and an her
vaga-ies. does some good things. and
when they are good, they are very good,
indeed. One OF them IS the law prohibit
ing railways working their employees on
the rail- for more than sixteen consecutive
hours The legislation Is not only humane
In its provision, but Il contains the largest
measure Of safety for the travelling public
and for the safety of freights. Under the
pro visions Of the statute the executive Of
nclals Of Ill roads operating in Indiana
are obliged TO placard the shops and other
buildings of the road with notices to the
operating officials OF the existence of the
law prohibiting them continuing any em-
ploye in work beyond the specified time It
Is not TO be believed that the railways
would willingly overwork their men 10 the
point of breaking them down, for good and
trained rallroaders are not picked up in
the market places. though the fact that
the pay is often according to the mileage is
an 'nducement which some railroad men
are unable to resist. But there are inter-
ests above and beyond and OF far greater
importance than the wages the men may
desire to earn and the roads be willing
to pay, and the safety of life and freight
IS among the higher interests. Eight hours
OF rest, with less than eight hours of
sleep are not more than sufficient for
railroaders who have been on the rail, in
the engine cab, or on top of a freight for
sixteen hours. II Indiana will but enforce
her statute. good will come 10 men and to
roads and other States may profit by the
example set by the Hoosior State.

JUDGE PARkER,s BOOM.

Judge Parker OF New York, is not
disposed TO allow his little boomlet to
die OF ennui Following the example
Of other distinguished candidates for
the Presidency, he has taken TO the
road. and yesterday he bobbed up in
Atlanta, and allowed the enthusiastic
Georgians to shake his willing hand.
The reports indicate that Judge Parker
begins his campaign with due modesty,
smiling deprecatlngly at every sug-
gestion that the wilderness contains
but one Moses, and that his name is
Parker
He leaves Georgia with the pledge Of
the vote of that State, and could prob
ably do equally well on a similar err
rand to other Southern communities
All Of this is very pretty, but we can
imagine some long-haired Georgia
cracker in his calmer moments asking:
well, who is this here Judge Parker,
anyway" The question is not irrele-
want or impertinent. Judge Parker has
figured TO an extent IN the local poll
ties Of New York, and his friends will
admit that he has shown considerable
shrewdness in maintaining amicable
relations with the powers that had to
be propitiated- But where he stands
on important national questions is yet
a matter OF conjecture. Mr.. Cleve-
lands views are known. Mr. Bryan,
with all his weaknesses. cannot be
charged with reticence, but Parker-he
seems TO be a respectable figure on
which to drape the robes Of an empty
honor.

THE IOWA IDEA.

The Republicans OF Iowa have not
departed from the principles which
they have maintained for number of
years. The tariff plapks OF former
convention are again affirmed with
only change of phraseology. There
has been a great deal said about the
iowa idea" but close scrutiny Of
the tariff planks. which the successive
conventions have adopted. viii reveal
that this idea embraces the protective
principle. with little common sense
explanation. Briefly stated, the Iowa
Republicans have asserted their belief
in protection and have explained that
schedules constitute a matter for ad-
justment as the needs OF industry and
commerce demand. That simply means
an adherence TO the principle under
which American industries have been
developed 10 such marvellous degree.
while stating only a self-evident truth
in regard to it's application. The plat
form just adopted follows the lire that
has been marked out by former con-
ventions.
The following abbreviated para
graphs speak for themselves;
We reiterate our faith I'm the
historic principle of protection.
Under its influence our country.
foremost i'm the bounties OF nature.
has become foremost in production.
II has enabled the laborer to sue
cessfully insist upon good wages.
and has induced capital TO engage
in production with reasonable
hope of a fair reward.
Tariff rates enacted 10 carry this
policy into effect should be just
fair and impartial. equally opposed
10 foreign control and domestic
monopoly. to sectional discrimina-
tion and individual favoritism.
and must from time TO time be
changed to meet the varying con-
ditions incident to the progress OF
our industries and their changing
relations ia our foreign and do
nestle commerce.
There is the same old Iowa idea
and from the platform adopted at II
last Republican convention OF tn
State we see that 1t is also the Del'
ware idea.

ACCUSED WOMAN
TELLS HER STORY
CONTINUED from First Page.)

"Ano wnar uiu you 70 wltn ie.
asked Mr. Budd.
my husband said, Give It to Gar
field Taylor, or to anyone you want to.
and so / gave it TO Garfield" replied
Mrs. Phares.
AS yet nothing can be said as to tle
depression Mrs. Phares made upon the
jgfy. She must undergo a severe cross
examination, and the manner Of her
testimony then may have some bear
ing on the case.
Before Mr. Phares took the stand
DR.. Charles Dingee, of Burlington. was
called for the defense. He told Of hav-
ing treated Phares for a rupture. John
Davis. a druggist of Burlington. told
of having sold truss to Albert Phares
about year ago. Henry S. Robinson,
Of Jacksonville. a friend of Phares,
testified that "he knew Phares suffered
from a rupture, and at times was in
great pain, but" added the witness,
Il never heard him say that he in
tended to die. heard him say that
he was worth more dead than alive" /"
Robinson said that he had occasion to
go into the cellar Of the Phares house,
and from what he saw he believed that
the cellar was overrun with rats. The
earth was dug up in many spots, the
potatoes were badly chewed, and there
were a number of rat holes, all this
going to show that there must have
been rodents in the cellar, declared the
witness.
