HARRIsON's IGNORANCE.

A few days ago Congressman Hitch
cock went to Lincoln and called on
Frank Harrison. The dispatches
stated, at the time, that there was
political significance attached to Mr..
Hitchcock's visit; that the Omaha
editor had made proposition to Mr..
Harrison to engage him for campaign
work in the interest of the Democratic
purity. This statement was not denied
by Mr.. Harrison. Sosn after Mr..
Hitchcock's visit, q reprint circular
was sent out by the Lincoln man
strongly criticising the tariff plank Of
the Republican platform. In COM
menting on the tariff on sugar, Harri-
son goes further than did the celebrat-
ed Mills bill framed by . Democratic
congress. That bill provided for .
tariff on sugar. At that time the beet
sugar industry had not been developed
in the north, and all the sugar made
in this country was from cane grown
in the southern states. The cane was
grown in Democratic states, conse.
quently the senators and representa-
tiyes from the south demanded that
this particular industry be protected.
But when it come to the question of
placing a tariff on wool the same SEN
ators and representatives who had
voted to protect the cane growers of
the south, refused to place tariff on
wool and protect the sheep raisers of
the western states.
When the Mckinley bill was enact
ed, it provided for placing certain
grades of sugar on the free list, but
the sugar schedule was a compromise.
At the time the bill was enacted, the
sugar beet industry was being devel-
oped in the west, and the representa-
tives from this section, working in
harmony with the representatives
from the cane districts of the south,
secured an amendment to the measure
providing for what was known as the
sugar bounty"
The tariff question has never been
strictly party question. Every tariff
measure which has been discussed since
the Civil War, has been subject to the
selfish consideration of the representa-
tives in congress. In almost every
instance southern Democrats have
fought to place duty on sugar. Han
cock was right, when, in 1880, in his
letter accepting the Democratic nomi-
nation for President, he said that the
tariff question WINS a local issue.
If Mr.. Harrison is trying to make
political capital out of the stand the
party has taken on the
tariff question, he should take some
thing to discuss besides the sugar
schedule. .s.s

PROHIBITION AND DEMOC-
RACY.

Henry Watterson says: "Nobody
can be democrat and a prohibition.
ist." If the venerable principles Of
democracy mean anything, nobody
can at the same time advocate personal
liberty and then undertake to dictate
what some other man shall or shall
not drink.
A man can he q democrat and q
total abstainer. He can be q demo-
crat and smoke or not smoke. But he
cannot without casting aside the fun
damental Jefersonian principles un.
'dertake to regulate by law another
mans religion or tastes.
In the southern states where prohi-
bition has been adopted it is enforced
chiefly as against negroes and not
against white men. On the theory
that the negro belongs to an inferior
race whose duty it is to labor in
sobriety to build up the white mems
civilization, prohibition can be enforc-
ed on economic grounds, disregarding
its moral aspect and leaving the white
man to do Is he pleases.
The system Of white mems clubs,
original packages by express and drug
store saloons enables the white men to
regulate the negroes habits without
changing their own, somewhat as they
regulate the diet and work of their
horses and mules which are no more
indispensable on southern plantation
than is negro labor.
This is southern prohibition.-New
York World.

YOUNG ROosEvELr's START.

YOUNG ROOSEvELT'S START.
The yellow story about young Roose-
welt hitching up with the steel trust
was hardly worthy of the dignity &C.
corded it BY the statement from Oyster
Bay, but the incident has served q
useful purpose in calling attention to
the Independent way in which one
American boy is starting to carve out
. career for himself.
Theodore Roosevelt jr., is not de-
pending ON his fathers money or his
fathers influence to provide some soft
snap. He picked his own sphere of
usefulness when he entered college,
and he followed IN inclination that
led him away from anything that
might enable him to use the family
name rs an asset. He has fitted him.
self professionally Is civil engineer,
but the whole mining industry is to be
his field. and he hopes to climb in it.
In order to lay the foundations of .
successful career he proposes to learn
the business from below the ground
up. He will get his first training as >
laborer in and about the iron mines.
Whether he will climb or not depends
on the thoroughness and ambition that
he can bring to the work. He made
a good start by staying away from
the big boat race to look after his pro-
spects for getting ajob.
The example Is not needed by boys
who cannot depend on their parents
to give them . start in life. It is
needed by many sons of rich families,
who are prone to think that, with no
need for money, there Is no use in get
ting to work. Undoubtedly many of
young Theodor's classmates will spend
the summer in Europe taking lessons
in their life occupation of spending
easy money. Young Roosevelt is
taking much the better route in try.

The Journal does not believe that
Mr.. Bryan has filed a protest against
the resolutions prepared by the New
York delegation on the death of Ex-
President Cleveland for presentation
at the Denver convention now in ses-
sion. Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends
maintain that the resolutions reflect
upon the course the Nebraska candi-
date has taken in opposition to what
is known as the Cleveland faction in
the Democratic party, and they seem
inclined to dig into the grave of the
ex-president and hold his corpse up As
an object of scorn in order to place q
feather in the hat of the Peerless
Leader. This is supposed to be a
christian land, and any man or set of
men who make ghouls of themselves
to make political capital to advance
the prestige of any man are unworthy
of a seat in any convention or the res
pect Of any man. Let Cleveland rest.
His work is done. He served his
well. He placed patriotism
above party subserviency-hon
above dishonesty and followed the
right as God gave him light to see the
right. To cast reflection upon his
motives now, when his voice is hushed
n the silence of the tomb, would be . |
moral crime which should be con-
lemned by every true American.
