Vest of Missouri, one of the most bril-
liant statesmen and thoroughgoing
Democrats of his time, used to favor a
proposition to erect a government
building IN every town of 5000 inhab-
itants and over He put it solely on the
ground of economy. Others have the
same idea and stand ready to back
their proposition with figures which
are said NOT to lie. II these and others
who, while not adopting the Vest theo-
~ in its entirety, desire only buildings
for their own towns should combine
and resist Mr. Morton's demand they
might succeed in scaling it down to
more modest proportions.
In the meantime Mr. Secretary Shaw
of the treasury has somewhat compli-
Gated matters by recommending an APP
preparation of $10,000,00O for the cree
ton of buildings where sites have al
ready been purchased. This is a diff
ferentiation to which members with
meritorious propositions for buildings
where sites have not already been pur-
chased cannot appreciate They will
ask, and with reason, why a town with
a given population and given amount
of postotfice receipts should be favored
by reason of a site having been already
purchased over another town with the
same population and postoffice receipts
for whose building no site has been
bought. Consequently both Secretary
Morton and Secretary Shaw seem to
have rough shedding ahead Of them for
their recommendations

a Classical Miaflt.

A Classical Misfit.
The American Economist. organ Of
the American Tariff league, is an inter
esting publication, but it is unfortunate
when it drops into poetry The last
number contains a cartoon entitled
Proposed Assassination. Protection,
in the guise Of King Duncan, lies in a
bed of state, with crown hanging on
bedpost Above his head is the leg

stands Congress Macbeth apparently
on guard. Close by is Lady Macbeth
offering her lord the dagger of free
trade" Congress Macbeth is sup
posed to be spouting these lines:

against
The deep damnation of his taking off.
Surely nothing could be more inap-
propriate. IT Duncan has any lineal
descendants they ought to sue the
Economist for SANDER for comparing
that amiable monarch to the high pro-
tective tariff system, a system whose
extortions forced even John Sherman
to characterize its chief beneticiaries as
''robber barons Now. remember it
was not Il Democrat who did that, but
John Sherman, lifelong and profess
sional Republican, one of the ablest of
them all IF there was ever anything
in this world that hath not borne his
faculties SO weak" it is this same high
protective system. 1t has bullied pres
idents. cabinets and congresses. dictat-
ed schedules i'll tile Mckinley bill, fixed
the quantity Of its own largess and in
other ways used like a giant the giants
strength which it undoubtedly pos
sesses.
II the Economist will pursue the his
tory OF Duncan and Macbeth still fur
ther it will discover something which
will furnish food for thought, for not
withstanding Macbeth's splendid words
quoted BY the Economist he changed
his mind and not only killed Duncan,
but usurped his throne. If history re-
peats itself in this instance the Dun
can protection would do well to sleep
with one eye open when Macbeth
congress is on guard. The Economist
cartoonist did not youchsafe to us any
information as to whether Macbeth
congress" is the expiring Fifty-eighth
or the incoming Fifty-ninth. It's a pity
he did not enlighten us on that subject
If the Economist is searching for a
historic example on the tariff it can be
found not in Shakespeare, but in JUS
tin McCarthy's History of Our Own
Times" wherein il Is related how that
immortal Engiishman, Sir Robert Peel,
in the campaign of 1912 boosted that
he was the head of '.the gentlemen's
party Of England and who declared
that any advocate of the repeal Of the
corn laws ought to be clapped into a
strait waistcoat and padded cell, but
who in 1876 repealed those same corn
laws himself. Whether there is an
American Sir Robert among the Re
publican statesmen who will run things
for two years and two months at least
remains to be seen.

MRS BLlCK AGAIN
Stamford, Conn. Woman Again Gets Name In
the Papers.

Mrs William J. Blickensderfer OF
Grove street has returned from YER
mont, says the Stamford, Conn, Ad-
vocate of Feb. A. where she went for
the purpose OF securing reprieve for
Mrs Mary Rogers and she will now
devote her efforts to raising fund to
pay the necessary legal expenses in
cideut to a presentation of the case to
the supreme court and for new trial
should one be granted.
Mrs Blickensderfer arrived home
last evening, late, very much fatigued
but happy in the thoughts that her ef-
forts 10 behalf of Mary Rogers have
been attended with so much success.
This forenoon she talked further about
her experience in Vermont.
"There are two things" she said,
"First, have nothing but the highest
praise for Gov Bell. His was very
difficult position indeed. And second
ly we have got to work very hard now.
Money must be raised II Mrs Rogers
is to be saved from the gallows. |
would have every good woman in the
land help in this movement"
Mrs Bllckensderfer reluctantly gave
out some OF the part iculars Of threat
ening letters she received. There were
three of them and one was written by
the same hand which sent similar
note TO Gov Bell. This particular
note was mailed in Chicago. 1t was
signed "Black Hand" and informed
Mrs Blickensderfer that her own
''neck" would be twisted. II stated too
that negro was following her every
step. The closing sentence was an as
surance that the writer would greet
Mrs Blickensderfer before her death.
Naturally Mrs Blickensderfer was very
indignant over these letters. But she
did not treat them seriously and be-
yond exciting her Indignation they had
not the slightest effect, In her opinion
they are the handiwork of 'smart"
boys or depraved loafers.

WITH FATAL RESULTS

A sad case Of poisoning by eating
medicine supposed to be candy occur
ed at the hons of Dennis Elwell on
the Woodford road Saturday and re-
suited in the death OF Leslie L. three
years old ami the paralizing OF CAL
vim age seven.
Strychnine In the form OF small tab
letsfor medicinal purposes was the sup.
posed white candy which resulted so
fatally.
Death came TO the infant early in the
afternoon after five hours of intense
agony. The o,,aer child is much better
today and will probably recover al
though his condition was serious for
some time.
The pills had been gotten by the
father for his use and he, although he
did not know their composition and
having no thought that they were
poison, had placed them far beyond
the reach of the fingers of the baby.
However the seven year old lad secur.
ed the tablets from the top of the dres-
ser and after tasting of them, fed
seven or eight to his brother.
The father and mother are broken
down with grief and are receiving the
deepest sympathy of their friends.
The funeral was attended this after
noon from the house, Rev G. S. Mills
officiating.
