Haskell was said to be in control

matter is, Haskell was not SO much
in control as he was on the right
side of the question. Had he espous-

and Murray espouscd the views that

FARMER BOY Welded UNDER

SNOW FOR HIS BRIDE.

Sterling, ILL.,. Feb. 2i.-Undismayed
by eight miles of snowdrifts, which
kept even the rural carriers indoors,
Joseph Beaver, a farmer boy, set
out tlis morning to claim his bride.
and married her seven hours after
the hour set for the ceremony. lie
had TO dig through drifts from four
to six feet deep. The snow ruined
his clothes. and he arrived at the
brides home practically exhausted
with both feet frozen. It was neceI
sary TO go to the home of pastor
two miles away TO have the ceremony
performed, as the wedding guests
would not come and the preacher
would not brave the drifts for the
marriage fee.

WOMEN LESS HONEST THAN
MEN.

Are women more or less honest
than men? The question is an old
one and no answer that can be Civ.
on is not likely to satisfy more than
one-half of any given number Of per
sons. It is raised again by Appleton's
Magazine in its March number, and
the answer, although given by a well
known woman-Mrs. Heaton Norse-
is against her sex. She does not as
scrt that women are more prone to
commit those crimes of which the
courts take cognizance, but that
their sense of honor is less keen
than that of the masculine half OF
humanity. She quotes a judge as say
ing that women are more willing

TARIFF PROTECTION SLIPS A
COG.

The nightly tariff protected glass
industry is in a bad way, which in
dicates that too much protection is
unfortunate for manufacturers or
workmcn. The issue of the National
Glass Budget of January 2j, contains
notices OF the bankruptcy of the Al
toona, Kansas, Cooperative Glass
Co. from inability TO market goods
produced consisting chiefly of fruit
jars. Then the old established Chris
tiana factory at Wilmington, Della
ware, is reported to have found it
necessary to shut down owing to in
ability to get cost of its product
Also another factory in New Jersey
did not resume this fire and the res
pousihle heads arrived at the conclu-
sion that the plan could not be oper-
ated at a profit if the workingmen
were to take a reduction of 66 2-3
per cent from the wages paid when
the plant was last operated. From
all over the country similar news
Of the breakdown Of prosperity can
be cited.
Sul the republican leaders contin-
ne TO declare that the protective
tariff produces prosperity and to
make sure that enough protection
should bc forthcoming to make the
glass industry prosperous the tariff
tax was increased so that as high
as 1oS.37 per cent is paid on one
kind and quality.
Similar conditions prevail in all
the more highly prote ted industries,
from steel trust products to those
of the pottery trust and more than
half of the pritected workmcn are
without employment, and those that
are fortunate enough to be working
are being paid reduced wages. Mean
while the trusts that control these
highly protected industries are hold
ing mp prices so that the public who
consume their products receive httle
concession in price But the foreign
crs are benefited by the dumping
of the surplus products at bargain
prices on European markets.
Is it not about time that our own
people Hcre offered some Of these
bargains? But they never will be as
long as they support the republican
party i'm standing pat To insure
competition and reasonable prices
for trus, products the tariff must be
reduced, or abolished, and that cannot
be expected from republican politi-
clans who have repeatedly declared
ana will probably declare again in
the forthcoming republican national
platform: Protection which guards
and d,,elopos d our industries Is a
cardinal policy Of the republican par
ty."

OKLAHOMA DEMOCRACY.

There are no factions in Oklaho-
