Last Wednesday there was a heavy
snowstorm at Escanaba, Michigan, rev

inches of snow fell.
Democrats are very modest these days,
and are not insisting that the adherents
of their party at Washington are the
most capable men in the world to run
the government.
The United States senate has some
aged men. Morrill of Vermont is 84;

Prof. Willard Kimball has been

Both men and horses were almost, ex

Colonel Breckenridge, the jury awarding
her l.r,000 after being out about two

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has decided in the Masonic Home case
that charitable institutions which are not

effect and a reversal of former rulings.
People all over the country are be
ginning to find out that policemen do
just about as their superiors, the magis

that the mayors, especially of our large
cities, face toward the people with the
policy "enforce the laws," and towards
their iolice, "be easy with the toughs."
It isn't much wonder that the laboring
men are talking of Judge Campbell as a
candidate for president It would be
better for tho country probably if the
result in this case will induce workmen
to go into the courts, or to a board of

any grievances they may have instead of
by strikes, destruction of property, loss
of lives, etc.

The democrats of the national house
of representatives are as hard to hold in
their places as a drove of mule colts.
They seem to have a natural antipathy
toward attending to business unless they
are forced to, and their neglect of duty

put the party -in the ridiculous attitude
of being unable, in spite -of its large
majority, to transact any business.
Courier-Journal.
It is working magnificently, the Wil
son bill, to make states republican. It
is proving its efficiency wherever it is
-tried. We do not concur in the conclu
sion of our esteemed contemporary, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, that if this goes on
"the democratic party might as well be
disbanded." There will be no need of
any formal process of dissolution. The
Wilson bill, to make states republican,
will take care of that. New York Son,
" (Dtnocrctic.)
What Will Cove of it?
The query is whether Senator Wolcott
of Colorado has struck a partial solution
of the silver business, with a leading
towards the final adjustment of the silver
factor of the money problem for our
country.
A resolution introduced by him has
passed the United States senate request
ing the president to enter into negotia
tions with the republic of Mexico look
ing to the coinage by the United States,
at its mints, of standard Mexican dollars,
under some just agreement as to seig
niorage, method and amount of coinage.
In short, the proposed plan is to coin all
silver offered, into Mexican dollars, the
United States making a charge for the
cost of coinage and giving Mexico the
seigniorage.
The Mexican silver dollar takes the
preference of all others in China, in fact
she will have silver in no other form, and
why not take advantage of this, and thuB
have an outlet for some of our own silver?
It is said that Mexico last year coined
26,000,000 silver dollars, of which 25,
000,000 were exported to China, and that
she, in turn, exported a large number to
the East Indies.
We adjust our balance of trade with
China in gold, instead of which, if we
could arrange to give them some of our
surplus silver, we would be helping our
selves in more ways than one.
Last year the balance of trade against
us and in favor of China was $18,000,000,
which would give us quite a market for
silver, and probably result, in a few
years in a greatly increased trade with
China.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts sees
in this proposition a method of bringing
England to book on the silver question.
She is today the great enemy of any
effort for the restoration of the white
metal to the world's currency, says he,
and we want, if we can, "to force Eng
land to take the view of silver which we
believe is not only for our interest, but
for the interest of trade, of good prices,
of better wages all over the world."
We think there is entirely too much
deference paid to English opinion and
English methods.
Let tho United States do what she
thinks is right; right in her own inter
ests with herself and the outside world
in general, whether that happens to con
form to the English way of thinking, or
whether it happens to clash against it.
Let us fight for every industry we have
the production of gold or glass; silver
or sausage; cotton or corn; tobacco, tin,
tar or timber; wool or whetstones, no
matter, there is no industry insignificant
when it helps feed and clothe and edu
cate and make prosperous, one, two,
three thousand people, and those our
people, American citizens.
When we find that the yoke is galling
it is certainly high time to at least begin
to consider why we should wear a yoke
at all. The fact is that we sadly need to
come up to the point of declaring a new
declaration of independence, in direct
line with that of 76, and in the interests
of the great common people of not only
this nation, but all others.
They who corner money, corner every
thing else that can be bought, because
we buy money as other things are bought,

Washinqtos is no sooner done with
one cause of grievance than she is called
on to wrestle with another, and this time
it is puzzling the heads of the wisest to
tell what to do. The commonweal army
is moving by battalions from every quar
ter of the compass, to the seat of govern
ment The rule seems to be to treat
them as pleasantly as possible and speed
them on their way. There are all shades
of opinion as to the outcome of this state
of affairs. Maryland is apprehensive
that she is to be overrun with thousands
of idle and vicious men who must, at
least, be fed, and these, added to her own
poor, make the burden too great One
of our statesmen proposes that when
they get to the seat of government they
be kept a short time and transported, at
public cost, to their respective hoineB,
and the expense charged up to the states
whence they came. The greater the
number, the more serious, of course, will
be the problem, and so long as they
neither destroy nor threaten to destroy
property or lives; so long as people sup
ply them with the means of food and
transit what can be done except to
patiently hear what they have to say,
and help them to solve their problem,
How to find work and wages?
Representative Hainer of this state
knows a trick or two. He had a bill be
fore the House for allowing the carrying
of periodicals through the mails at
pound rates, but notwithstanding that
there were more than a million names,
the post office committee, to whom it
had been referred, refused to make any
report upon it. Our Nebraska rustler
took a new twist, drafting an amendment
to the post office appropriation bill in
corporating his ideas, and had Mr.
Springer offer it. Some pretty lively
discussion ensued; the amendment was
enlarged to include all periodicals issued
at stated intervals by benevolent, frater
nal, educational and college societies,
boards of health, etc.
Judge Ddndt gave expression in very
decided terms in court Wednesday as to
the order that he had made concerning
workmen on the Union Pacific, for which
he said he had been abused and malign
ed. When Attorney Howe remarked
that it was not necessary to swear Mr.
Dickinson, the judge spoke up. "Yes it
is; no man is elevated in this court. If
yon want Mr. Dickinson's testimony to
go into the case he must be Bworn. It
does not make a particle of difference
who a man is, he must be sworn if his
testimony is to be taken in by the court."
This was quite a hit against Judge Cald
well's insisting on Mr. Clark not being
sworn.
Patriotism will remain a holy flame
after partisanship is reduced to ashes.
To serve party well one must love coun

A month ago the 15-year-old daughter
of J. Tuckish, a Bohemian, living near
Protikin, Howard county, Iowa, died. It
appears that the day before her death
6he had a tooth extracted, taking an
anaesthetic, and the following morning
was found, as it was supposed, dead in
bed. The interment occurred the fol
lowing day. A few days ago some one
in commenting on the death said the
family made a mistake in burying the
girl so soon, that possibly she was not
dead; that the effect of the anaesthetic
had not worn off. The parents had the
body exhumed Monday of last week, and
the glass of the coffin was found broken,
the girl's hands cut, and bloodstained,
her hair torn out, and the corpse on
its face.
Silver has been slaughtered in that
nest of assassins. Honest tariff reform
has been stabbed in the back. In no
wise has the admirable platform upon
which Cleveland and an overwhelming
democratic congressional majority were
elected been lived up to. Under such
conditions there is no reason to repine
at the reproof administered the democ
racy by the people at the late elections.

Senator Hill opposes the income tax
feature of the Wilson tariff bill, and
warns his fellow democrats that they are
pushing a measure that may lose the
party their control of the senate, the
house, the presidency, the electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut and probably every northern
state; that it is regarded as a scheme of
spoliation, an unwarranted sectional
attack upon their citizens of means. He
directs attention to 18G0 and the ultra
demands then made upon the democratic
party which resulted in its overthrow,
and the triumph of its political enemies.
In mentioning the names of congres
sional candidates in the Sixth district,
John T. Mallalieu of Kearney is being
spoken of a good deal of late. The Re
porter man knows John Mallalieu like a
book, and no better man could be select
ed by the republicans of the Sixth dis
trict to represent them in Congress. He
is honest and able, and has a faculty of
making friends that would make him a
very strong candidate. They are talking
of a number of good men in that district,
but none better than Mallalieu. Sew

ATTACKS THE TARIFF.
WiNon Kill Assaulted by Senator lHlxe for
it Free Trade Character.
Senator Lodge (Mass.) addressed the
senate Wednesday in opposition to the
pending tariff bill and in the course of
his remarks said: "It is always well to
look at things as they are, even if the
thing be free trade, to which some per
sons in beautiful language have conse
crated themselves. It is best, if we
would treat it intelligently, to know that
by itself and of itself the tariff is a busi
ness question and protection and free
trade only take on a different and far
deeper meaning when they are considered
as parts of a question between far-reaching
principles, which I believe involves
the future of our race and the existence
and progress of the highest civilization.
It is in the latter and far graver aspect,
as I have already said, that I prefer first
to treat them."
If, he argued, the American manufac
turer does not make money it is quite
certain that he will not employ labor,
and, therefore, the workingmen will not
make money either. Our manufacturers
believe that under free trade they must
either go out of business or reduce labor
costs. They naturally do not care to do
the former, for that is ruin, and they are
very unwilling to try the latter, because
reducing labor costs means lowering
wages, which means, in turn, vast indus
trial disturbances, and that is ruin too,
or something very near it.
a kf.cokd of disaster.
Turning from industry to agriculture,
he inquired: "Has English agriculture
been benefited by free trade as Cobden
and others of his school predicted? It
is a matter of public notoriety that the
record of agriculture in England of late
years is but a record of disaster. There
was nothing left them of the boasted
superiority of free trade over protection
but the promise to increase trade, and to
refute this claim he gave the percentage
of increase, by decades, of England and
the United States, which showed that in
the decade 1870-80 the trade of the Unit
ed States, under protection, had increas
ed nearly four times as much as that of
England, while from 1880-90 it was more
than seven times greater. Such an out
line had been the history and results of
free trade in tho only country which had
adopted it.
advantages of reciprocity.
He touched lightly upon the question
of reciprocity and showed the advanta
ges which had flowed from it and the
growth of trade which followed the
adoption of reciprocity treaties. Our
first object should be to hold our own
market, because it is the largest and
best; and that being done and our own
market securely guarded, our next object
should be to increase our outside mar
kets by any possible device. By means
of invention and protection we have been
enabled thus far to maintain higher
rates of wages in the United States,
while lowering the price of the necessa
ries and comforts of life and raising the
standard of living. If we abandon pro
tection we shall probably in many direc
tions increase prices, by withdrawing
American competition from the competi
tion of the world, and thereby raising
the world's price. In any event we shall
lower wages. Protection does not make
high wages, but it helps to prevent their
reduction.

crease, I believe to be essential, because
I believe good wages absolutely vital to
the stability of our institutions and of

aspect is something far more than a
mere question of schedules or of national
bookkeeping. It is an effort to defend
by legislation onr standards of living
just as the exclusion of Chinese and of
contract labor was. The reduction of
wages thus far made is trilling to what
will come if this bill becomes a law and
men seek to adjust themselves to the
new conditions. Such a lowering of
wages is not to be contemplated without
the deepest alarm. The country ia agi
