THK experts ate lieyiimtng to think that Cleveland will be the democratic nomineeanyway. They aay it will be either Cleveland ami Gray or Cleveland and Boies. SoUTH CAROLINA, as the original uulificationist, ititi-protection, se cession state, ought to have one of the three kings who under the dem ocratic rules dominate the house. THB nominating conventions should bear the important fact in mind that no person "holding an office of trust or profit under the United States" is eligible to the position of presidential elector. Congkkss should have a half dozen more modern war -hips built at once. It is the best way to in nure peace, for when Kngland knows we have a navy she will not dispute with us the Behring Sea fisheries. Since The Hekald mentioned the name of Hon. R. B. Windham as a delegate-at-large to the repub can nominating convention for president, we notice by our ex changee that he is frvorably spoken of. . Secretary Foster has repeated ly said that the $100,000,000 gold re j ', 1 serve fund for greenback redeinp- tion will not be trenched upon.

Gen. C. 11. Grosvenor. ONE of the first advocates of free trade in this country, a senator of .-the state of South Carolina, once (said that the northern free laborers were all "mud sills" "greasy me chanics" and "small-fisted farmers" His meaning was interpeted by an other free trade apostle of his time, who more boldly declared that "cap ital shoul not own labor, white .or black." They were the fathers of existing free-trade democrats, but Vthe latter are less courageous and U honest. v The non-dutiable imports largely exceed the dutiable. From July 1. 191, to the end of January, 182, the free goods which came to the country were of the value of fJM.OOO.OOO in round figures, and the dutiable goods $21l!,000,0(l. In v corresponding period of the previ ous fiscal year the free goods amounted to only f 17o,IKX),)(K and the dutiable to $'J.)H,XK),M H. The McKinley law made the cnange. And yet the democrats say that that act increased the duties. CiOVEKXOK M l' K IX LEY of Ohio the other day received a letter of thanks for his championship of the tariff from a gentleman who has always voted the democratic ticket. This gentleman is J. B. F. Champ 1 i ii. of the Cattaraugus Cutlery Co., at Little Falls, N. Y und he thanks McKinley for making it possible to ' revive that industry in this country. With business questions before the country it is possible to give prac tical illustrations of the benefits of a party policy The McKinley act opened the ryes of many business and working men to the advantage of the republican policy of protec tion to American industries. SENATOR MILLS. OF TEXAS. , WOMEN IN THE COAL PIT. It is now nearly fifty years since i "It is significant of the abject con Texas had a distinct existence, first dition of labor in free trade Belgium as an independent republic, then as says the Mew York Press, that a one of the states of the United States number of women perished in the During all that time it has had on-1 disaster at the Anderlucs colliery, ly two public men to rise above the Among the victims was a girl four level of mediocrity, General Sam teen years of age; while children Houston and Roger (J. Mills. Neith- cried around the mouth of the pit er could claim rank among the great for their mothers entombed below. statesmen. Houston was a man of some genius and more eccentricity. He died early in the war, his death hastened, it is said, by an over whelming tense of the uwfulucss of civil war. Mr. Mills began his ca reer as a member of the Forty-third Congress, serving continuously evei since, until now he has been promoted to the Senate, such pro motion being the natural sequence of his prominence in the House. Mr. Mills did not attract attention until he became chairman of the committee on ways and means, af ter the forced retirement from Con gress of Colonel Morrison. With Carlisle in the chair Mills became tue leader of the democracy on the floor of the House. He had some glaring faults, some notable quali fication. He never could rule his own temper t.nd keep himself on ice, but what he lacked in prudence, was made good, perhaps in frank ness. His tarill bill of 1S88 was cer tainly less objectionable than the "horizontal bill" of his immediate predecessor. It was not so utterly indefensible if it was equally obnox ious to protectionists. It had the merit of being a fair and square embodiment of the principle of free trade, that is, as near as could be reasonably expected. He showed more intelligence, courage and sin cerity than Morrison. In the Senate Mr. Mills will find himself in a climate better suited to his temperament. He will be sub ject to lees irritation and proding. In the calm and dignified air of the Senate he ought to be able to main tain a serenity of eoul. He received such a severe setting back in the defeat of his aspirations for the speakership that he will hardly at tempt to pose as a leader, which no new senator ought to do. Kven Mr. Blaine when he was transferred to the Senate took a back seat, and Dave Hill will wish he had. Car lisle has been put forward some what, but he has a quiet way with him which isa shield against the shafts of envy. Mr. Mills maybe expected to make two speeches at this session, one on the tarill, the other on silver. He is supposed to feel supreme contempt for the piecemeal tariff of Springer, Hill, and the democracy of the present Congress, and to be in perfect ac cord with the Bland silver bill. He '! l.ardly allow thesession to pass .;out airing his views on both jects, especially on the tariff. o tot oniy opposeu 10 me inge.- policy, and to Springer himself, but more especially to the tree-wool bill reported by Springer. Texas is a great wool state, and it is safe to say that if Mills had been speaker, or chairman of the com mittee on ways and means, the du ties on wool, not the last to come down, would certainly not have been the first to feel the knife. The democrats of the llill-Brice-Gorman junta who thought they had scored a point by crushing Mills last December may conclude before the year is out that they made a long primer mistake. The Senate is not the speaker's chair, but it is a coign of vantage in more ways than one. The stone which the builders rejected in December has not become the head of the cor ner by a good deal, but it has once more become an important factor in national poliics. Inter Ocean. The Richmond (Vn.) State mourns the loss of so many of the old Con federate songs, and urges the southern people to adopt some means of preserving those which are not already forgotten. There may be many of the Confederate songs which the people can pre serve and teach to their children without conflicting in any way with their teachings of patriotism and loyalty to the Union, but it is doubtful if they will ever take their place beside the songs sung in the north and in the Union camps, be cause these latter were songs of the L moii as appropriate now as in the days af war. They were filled with patriotic sentiment und love of country. Few of them were sec tional. All were pervaded by the spirit of loyalty to the tlag. It has often been said by Confederates that they would have had a better chance of ultimate victory if they had had the same inspiritigsongs to cheer their soldiers. The south had, like the north, learned to love "The Star Spangled Banner," and kindred patriotic airs. In the at tempt to destroy the Union the leaders were often driving the people against their better senti- 1 inents and a Hag they had been i taught to love. The Confederate songs, which are simply an out- growth of the rebellion, are bettor forgotten. In the United States, happily, there is no need of women going into coal mines for a living." THE SIGNS IN HIS FAVOR. A couple of tramps struck a south ern town just after a few .olorcd citizens had been served red hot for trying to vote the republican ticket and one of them was badly fright ened. "By gum, Bill" he said, "I ain't going to stop in no such dang town as this is." "Aw, come off" responded the va lorious William; "what's a eat in' you? Do you think these people will take a man dressed like you are and wearin' a red flannel nose fer a republican. IT is the motto of a great labor organization that "An injury to one is the concern of all." Free trade invitt s anil expects the competition in our markets of the products of foreign cheaper labor with the' products of our better paid home labor, on the plea that the foreign productsare cheaper than the home products. But it is not a plain case that home labor is deprived of compensation or employment, or both, to the extent of the use of these foreign products, or to the amount of the reduction of wages compelled by home competition with cheaper labor? The free trade scheme thus becomes an "injury" to all home labor of giant propor tions, dwarfing the promised bene fits of cheapness into a trifle, with even that trifle uncertain and delusive. Senator HiLL is cutting quite a wide political swath on his tour through the south, and he doesn't appear to care who knows the real animus of the tour.either. G. Cleve hind feels his heart in his No. Ill throat when he reads how warmly this Tammany leader is being wel comed in democratic hot beds. Mr. Hill's speech in Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday was as follows, or some thing like it: "Applause Mr. Chair man (Applause) I am a democrat. (Applausej So wasApplause( Boss Tweed.

At little Port Arthur alone the figures of the fishing industry for the market are astonishing. In 18SS the fishermen there caught aOO.OOO pounds of white-fish, HtSOKM pounds of lake trout, 4X.IXX) pounds of sturgeon, (X),fXXJ pouudsof pickerel and .5U,uoo pounus ot other tisn, or more than a million pounds in all They did this with an investment of IMI0 Jin boats and $10,000 in gill and pound nets. This yield nearly all went to a Chicago packing com pany, and it is in the main Chicago and Cleveland capital that is coir trolling the lake's fisheries. The white-fislf is, in the opinon of most gourmets, the most delicious fish known to Americans. The lake trout are mere food. Iain told that they are rather related to the chnr than to the salmon. They are peculiar to our inland waters. They average five to ten poi.nds in weight and yet grow to weigh LK) pounds; but whatever their weight be, it is a mere pressure of hard dry flesh circulated only to appease hunger From "Brother to the Sea," by Jt I.IAN RAI.I'H. in Harper's Mag a.iue for April JOHN BULL AS A DEMOCRAT. A little girl in Chariton recently perpetrated a good joke on the democratic parly. The best part of it was that she did not reali.e that it was a joke. A bright school teacher, that is the kind that are needed, hoping to teach her pupil interest in contemporaneous events, asked each p.tpil to write down the names of the five most prominent republicans and democrats. The lists did not agree, of course, but this particular little girl had a list as follows: Cleveland, Hill, Boies, Crisp and John Bull. The little girl had heard u' John Bull beinga .ree trader and naturally enough supposed that he was a democrat. The little girl is entitled to hono- rary mention in President Harri son's next message to congress. If John Bull, however, should be come thoroughly Americanized, love America as he loves his sea girt iide, it is possible that he would in time vote the republican ticket, for he has a habit of looking first ot all after the interests of his own people, which is a prominent republican virtue. It was this s.ime John Bull wlr a few yeais ago said through .lis principal organ, the London Times, that "one islunan in the United States voting lor free trade was better than lift lli.Mhincn at home" That remark shows the old fellow be not only a free trader and a niocrat, but a very shrewd one. Des Moines Register. THE POLL OF IT. The recent discovery of a rich silver lode in Colorado is used by the Philadelphia Ledger to draw itb'ntiou anew to the folly of legis lation providing for the "free and unlimited coinage" of silver. Under the proposed law, it points out, the government in buying the silver product would virtually be com pelled o pay to the silver operators $1.2!) an ounce "for what is worfh in the market only (X) cents, a free gift to them of 39 cents an ounce Ten thousand ounces of silver brought out of any mine, and worth 0,000 in the open market, would at once be lifted by act of Congress to irl2,lXX) with the pay sure and a market compelled to take it by law! Multiply the 54,KHi,UK ounces of silver, which the goverrment is now compelled to buy every year from the silver operators, by the 3! cents an ounce additional profit the gov ernment would becompelled to pay alter the passage of a 'free and un limited' silver-coinage bill' and you will have the imperial sum of Jf','1 000,000 a year to go from the pockets of the whole people of the United States into the pockets of those in terestcd in silver bullion and in silver mines CONFEDERATE BRIGADIERS AT TACK PENSIONS. The Confederate brigadier are beginning to make theniselve heard again in congress with no uncertain sound. People who have not met these men or heard their conversa tion in private can form no idea of the strength there is behind their opposition to the payment of pen sions to Union eoldicrs. Out of re spect to their Northern associates, who appeal to them to keep quiet and be careful what they s,y, they restrain themselves as much as possible, but they can't kn-p their mouths shut all the time. 'I'll us Gen. Patterson, of Tennessee, who claims to have been in command of the regiment in the Confederate service which was the last to sur render and lay down its arms, went out of his way in his speech on the tariff to declare himself as follows: I do say that the enormous sum paid in the way of pensions is a double hardship on the people of the South. It is a hardship because it is drawn, not from the wealth or property of the country, but from its consumers. Audit is a hard Hop because that pari paid by them is transferred from the South to the homes of these soldiers, thereby depleting from year to year the money in circulation. From all these causes it results that there is a dearth of money south of theOhio rier. At this point some Northern dem ocrats got hold of Gen. Patterson's coat-tails, and he promptly gather ed himself up and said he was speaking in "no sectional spirit." There can be no mistake, however, as to w hat he and his associates mean. He says that pension paying is " a curse and a blight" to the South because it draws money away from that section and puts it in (he pockets of the Union soldiers at the North. Believing this, the brigadiers onlj want to get the power iu(fheir hands, and they will make short work of pensions Whether Gen. Patterson was, as he claims, the last rebel to surrender, he is certainly the first to point out ch arly the new line of attack on the Union Soldier. TlIK Standard Oil trust has finally dissolved, and we believe forever. It might have accepted the Ohio dei isii.n for what it was worth, and otM'aui.vd under a New Jersey char ter, as the sugar trust did after the adverse decision of the New York courts, or it might have appealed to th'1 supreme court of the United St, des. But with its usual shrewd ness it dil neither. It knew that Cr icketfs rifle was pointed at it, anl it "came down" without wait ing to be shot down. It knew that the federal law would be likely to tackle it after it got through with the whisky trust. It knew that the party that enacted the Sherman an i trust bill was in earnest. And it hiirrendered unconditionally. If the sugar trust be prudent it will do likewise.

"I'm a democrat," remarked the woman, "and I'm in favor of the Springer revenue tariff, and all women ought to be." "Why':" inquired a bystander. "Because it helps the women inure than it does anybody else." j "Why?" again inquired the by stander. "You must be a republican," she snapped, "or you'd see. Dosn't he propose to cut of! $,r()0,0lX) duties on raw wool and $17,a'.X),0(K) as half the duties on woolen manufac tures'.'" "I believe so." "Well, that will reduce the price of clothing so that our husbands will be able to get two pairs of pants where they got one oefore." "What's that got to do with the women?" "Kvcrythiug, stupid! they'll have a chance to wear the other pair, and that's what they need to equal ize them with the men." "Ugh!" grunted the bystander, walking off, "I guess you don't need an extra pair." Kvkky state so tar that has chosen delegates to the Minneapo lis convention has chosen Harrison di'li-gates.
