PRESIDENT HAEBISON'S letter of acceptance will be sent to the Notification Committee about the last of August or the first of Septemtrer. The letter is looked forward to with interest, as it will no doubt be a clear and compact statement of Republican principles.'

ANDKEV CA RI-CRGIE never had any trouble with his men when he managed his works himself, H. C. Frick, who is the managor now5 is a different kind of of a boss. A

Democrat

is out of place

at the head of an American manufacturing establishment, anyhow. His proper place is in England.

CONGRESS with its 150 Democratic majority has been in session seven mopths and the odious McKinley law has not been repealed. Only three or. four items of the 4,000 and over covered by the McKinley law have even been attacked, and one of these is tbo farmers' wool.

A GENTLEMAN who was at Yountsville a few days ago, talked with three Democrats who will vote against Brookshire because of his free trade record in Congress. Mr. Brookshire's constituents are mostly farmers and nearly all of them have sheep. A man who will not look alter the interests of a majority of the people whom he represents is not the proper person to be in Congress.

THE right thing for Gov. Chase to do is to fill Judge New's place on the Appellate Bench with a Democrat, and ubout this there should be no question. Every patriotic citizen of the State is hoping for the day when the judiciary can be divorced from politics and this "•Would be a step toward the formation of such a spirit in the public mind, as in time, might lead to good results. Besides, it would be but carrying out the intent of the law.

THE Chicago Xews is authority for the statement that William A. Finkerton, who is at the head of the notorious Pinkerton Detectives, is a Democrat, anc that 90 per cent, of his employee are Democrats. As the Xcws is a Democratic paper the authority would seem to be unquestionable. As H. C. Frick, the manager of the Homestead mills, is also a Democrat, it would appear that the trouble in the Pennsylvania town is a Democratic conspiracy to make political capital. Gradually the truth will ooze out.

THE Carroll County Citizen is the name of a new Democratic paper which has just made its appearance at Delphi A. B. Crampton, the former publisher of the Time at that place, iB the editor. Judging from the tone of the

neworgaD

it does not give a hearty endorsement of the nomination of Grover Cleveland. It quotes in an approving way the reasons given by the Denver Xeirx for bolting the Chicago nominations wliieb it regards as "full of interest to the business men and wage earners." The Citizen is ably edited and neatly printed.

WITH what are called labor riots springing up on every hand is it not time for demagogues to stop their unpatriotic attempt to excite the prejudices of the poor against the rich.' Every

man in this country has the same opportunity to get rich that any other one has and what more can bo done than to give all equal opportunities? Can any poor man rhow that his poverty is due to the fact that others are rich? If all were poor like himself would that fact increase his chances to make a fortune

BUY YOUR SOCKS OF AMERICANS.

One Michael Doran has been induced to write the following letter to Mnj. McKinley:

My mother sent me a dozen pairs of socks from Ireland a few days ago, each pair being worth about 20 cents. My cousin, who brought them to me, had to pay 25 cents a jwir tariff duties on the socks at the New York custom house. Will you please be kind enough to tell me to what foreign government I shall apply to have that S3 refunded to me? If the foreigner pays the tax, as you 6ay he does, I am entitled to get my money back, but I do not know just exactly to what foreign government to apply, and I hope you will be kind enough to inform me by return mail. Yours truly, MICHAEL DORAN.

Our advice to Michael Doran is to correspond with his mother immediately and tell her the next time she is prompted to send him a pair of sockb, to send the money instead of socks, as socks can be bought in this country, both better and cheaper than English socks Michael should have known that he« could have taken the 25 cents per pair

tariff he paid on the English-made

would shown both his patriotism iv tariff

hereafter he buy home-made and

avoid the terrible oppressions of \4'o-,

Kinley bill. But, whoever prompted

Michael to write this letter should have told him that the tariff on socks, under the McKinley bill, is only a very small fraction of 25 cents per pair.

A BARE FACED STATEMENT. Statistics show that wages have steadily decreased and the sliding scale of protection has increased cost of clothing and necessaries of life.—Star.

No greater misrepresentation of the truth ever found its way into a newspaper, than this paragraph presents. We challenge the Star to name a single article, from the foundation of the governmeot to this day, that was ever made higher in price, to the consumer, by the tariff. It is a fact well known to every one who buys and wearB clothing that a man can dress himself decently for less money cow than at any other time in the history of the country. Ard as to statistics showing that wages have steadily decreased, we call for the statistics. When, before in this or any other country, were laboring men driven to their work in carriages and home again at night with a compensation ranging from $5 to §14 per day, ae is the case in the Carnegie works at Homestead? It has been stated, and not denied, that most of the leading strikers at Homestead, are men whose wages are greater than the salaries of some of our highest officials. It was Btated, on the floor of the Senate a few days ago, in response to the vociferous demand of Mr. Voorhees for the killing of Carnbgie, that many of the employes in the Homestead works, were receiving wages in excess of Mr. Voorhees' salary as a Senator in Congress. In view of such facts as these, what are we to think of a newspaper that will deliberately publish to the world that "wages have steadily decreased The history of the country shows that the general average of wages is fourfold what it was at the beginning of the government. McMasters in

but 825 were affected, and these men were earning from 85.83 to 81!'.75 for eight hours work, and the reduction did not touch the wage list that ranges from SI.50 to $4.50 a day. The reduction was only from 12 to 15 per cent, nstead of 30 per cent.

THAT indorsement by the Kansas Democratic Convention of the People's l'arty ticket dosen't seem to indorse. Representative Democrats all over the State are denouncing the Convention for this action, and are threatening to put up a straight ticket or to join the Republicans. Harrison's majority in the Sunilower State will be somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000.

A TARIFF that only protects the em ployer and not the employed needs revision. It were better wiped clear out. —Star.

As the McKinley law protects both the employer and the emjjloyed it does not need revision. It is probably for this reason that no Democrat in Congress has introduced a bill to wipe it out

THEStewart free coinage bill which passed the Senate la6t week was killed in the House yesterday by a vote of 154 to 136. Almost all the Republicans and one-third of the Democrats voted against its consideration. It now goes the foot of the calendar beyond the hope of resurrection.

history of the people of the United States shows what wages were for many years after the establishment of the government. Men who toiled on public works were glad to get $7 per month, with .very coarse and common food, while the most skillful mechanics were fortunate if they made ten dollars per week, out of which they boarded themselves. The absurd statement that wages have been decreasing can mislead none except those who are utterly ignorant of what wages were fifty and seventy-five years ago. And not only have wages increased, but nearly all the necessaries of life that a wage earner inust use, are cheaper than they were years ago. The real truth iB that there is no other country on the earth where an industrious, tempt rate and frugal wage-earner enjoys so many of the luxuries of life as he does in the United States to day.

Tried to Steal a Child.

HUNTINGTON, Ind., July 14. Mrs. Christopher Kocher had a desperate fight to keep her little child from being kidnaped. For several days a band of Arabs have infested this city, peddling- from house to house. They became insolent at many places until the women about town became greatly frightened. Two of the Arabs called at Christopher Kochter's about supper time. They demancfed their supper and night's lodging, which Mrs. Kocher refused. They insisted and asserted that they would stay whether she said yes or no. Siie ordered them out of the house, but one drew a knife and as she stood back one of the fellows told Mrs. Kocher if they would not allow them to stay all night they would steal her child, which was with her. This frightened the mother. She seized a chair and made an onslaught on the would-be kidnapers. She beat them with her weapon and fought desperately for her child. The Arabs finally flew from the house and later were locked up. Wednesday morning they were released and left the city. An attempt was also made to steal the little son ol Mayor Dungan, but he escaped the Arabs.

ily physician and Dr. Field. There were moments when he was delirious, as is often the case in severe sickness, but these were followed by rational intervals. The end was peaceful.

I)Icl a l'oor Man.

Mr. Field had been suffering from physical and mental exhaustion brought on bjr the many troubles which have overtaken him during the past year. The funeral services will be held on Thursday afternoon at the house. The interment will be at Stockbridge, Mass., on Friday. Mr. Field died a comparatively poor man.

Iiiograpliical.

[Cyrus West Field was born November 30, 1819, at Stockbridge. Mass. His father was Rev. Dr. David Du-.'.'.ey Field and his mother Submit Dickinson. Mr. Field was educated at the schools in nis native town, and when 15 years of uge he located in New York city, where, through the influence of his brother, David Dudley, Jr., he secured a position in the house of A. T. Stewart. When he reached his majority Mr. Field embarked in the manufacture and sale of paper for himself. In t.ht course of twelve years he had amassed a considerable amount of money and partially retiree from active business. He made a visit of Bis months to South America and when he returned to New York was drawn into ihe scheme to eB' tablish telegraphic connection between America and Europe. With Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, Marshall O. Roberts and Chandler White, he organized the New York, Newfoundland & London Telegraph Company. David Dudley Field, Jr., his brother, became counse: for the enterprise, and active preparations were begun at once. Mr. JFielc went abroad and suceecded in pledging several capitalists to give financial aid. Then Mr. Field bought a fourth interest it the concern, and each of the other gentlemen named gave i'.M.OOO for the proposed line. Fron: 11J03 till 1858 the work was rapidly pushed, and in the latter year the first cable message was seni across the ocean. Meanwhile telegraphic connections had been established throughout Newfoundland. The cable soon broke, however and the civil war occupied the thoughts ol everyone till 1S65, when work was again re sumed on the transatlantic cable. The Greai Eastern succeeded in laying 1.-00 miles of th« new cable, when the line broke and the projeci was abandoned till the ensuing year. In 1S6( permanent connection was established betweer the t-.vo great lands. John Bright pro nounced Cyrus W. Field "the Columbus of modern tim-'S, who. by his cable had moored the new world alongside ol the old." Congress voted Air. Field a golc medal and the thanks of the people of America ai.d only the fact that he was citizen ol another country deterred England from con ferring great honors upon the man. In 186i the Paris exposition presented Mr. Field with the highest prize awarded—a golc medal In 1S69 Mr. Field attended the opening of the Suez canal as the representative of the New York chamber of commerce. During 1876 he became interested in the promotior. of elevated roads in New York and to his efforts is largely due the success of the enter prise. Mr. Field devoted much time and capi tal to the roads. In 1880 he made an extendec trip around the world. During the last few years the capitalist has been in poor health owing tc old age, and the disgrace attendant upon the failure of his favorite son, E'lw»rd M. Field (iuring the last months of last year shattered the aged merchant's remaining health anc strength. The crushing blow of his son's com mitment to an insane asylum was only anothei addition to the load, and all this year the demise of the successful merchant has been al most daily expected.

The Field family includes among its members David Dudley Field, the great lawyer: Hen ry Martin Field, editor and owner of the Evangelist, and Stephen Johnson Field, justicc of the supreme court. The late Stanley Matthews, associate justice of the supreme court, and David J. Brewer, another associate justice were nephews of the Fields.]

Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted.
