THE way to stop divorces is to stop improper marriages.

THE New York Tribune has an article headed "Democrats Take Water." This will be genuine news to most people.

THB theory of increasing the revenue by lowering the duties simply means an increase of importB to compete with home products and reduce the wages of American workingnien.

IN selecting the next State tioket how would it do to relegate a few of the old stagers to the rear and infuse all new blood into the perscnnell of its makeup? THE JOUBNAII is decidedly in favor of the new blood theory.

THE Covington People's Paper has been sold by Mrs. .T. H. Spence to Charles H. Gwynn, formerly proprietor of the Covington Friend. The paper will continue to be Republican. J. H. Spence will remain as manager.

AN Englishman who has kept tab on the foot ball games in that country says that there were twenty-six deaths resulting from the game as played in England last year, twenty-two deaths the year before, and twenty-three deaths the year before that.

ONE feature of the revival of the odious income tax will be the creation of a lot of new offices. To work so inquisitorial a Bystem will require large additions to the revenue force. This will be pleasant for Democratic heelers, and those of our local politicians who got left by Jump will stand a show at the pie counter.

STRIPPED of all guides, Secretary Gresham declares that it iB the solemn duty of the United States to restore a lioentious woman to the throne of Hawaii. One has to pause and think in order to realize that the United States was largely planted by men and women who fled from the intolerable tyranny and immorality of monarchy.

THE New York Tribune says that a good deal has happened since the second election of Cleveland. The country knows much more about the Democratic party now than was known when it was placed in absolute power. A good many people may have gone into bankruptcy, bat the people have accumulated a very large stock of political experience which ought to be permanently valuable.

IN Paramount Blount's wonderful report the attempt is made to fix upon the public the impression that he was strictly judicinl and impartial. In a few sentences Minister Thurston punctures thi« pretension, and shows that Blount was exactly the opposite. Commenting on Blount's misinformation the New York Sun, a Democratic newspaper says:

Mr. Thurslon directs attention to a fact patent on the face ol the report, that it consists exclusively of prepared affidavits, or of answers to leading questions put by Mr. Blount himself at private interviews, no one else being: present but his stenographer. In no instance was a representative of tho Hawaiian Government allowed to produce counter testimony, or., by the cross-examination of witnesses to conti ndict them out ol' their own mouths. Mr. Thurston says, what everj- lawyer knowE, that this is a dishonest substitute for thothorough and judicial inquiry which it was the duty of Mr. Cleveland's emlssiry to 'make, if he made any at all

CONCEBNING the character and record which Benjamin Harrison left behind him when he retired from the Presidency, a Washington paper recently published the following:

Ol Mr. Harrison it may be Baid without the smallest flattery that into everythiag he says or writes he breathes the spirit of an intense and fervent patriotism, a passionate love of his country and his flag, which sets ail the better upon his words since he testified to it by the ofler of his life throughout the four years of tragedy and peril.

Those who know Mr. Harrison best bear witness to the sincerity of his character and the indomitable dignity and courage of his manhood. He never posed for mere effect he scorned to wear liis heart upon his sleeve to touch a shallow chord. Hut thousands who 'knew him here have had evidence enough that •.his feelings though they may have lain deep, were both tender and true, and Washington will not soon forget the simple beauty of Ills domestic life. He left nothing behind him but respect and sympathy, the memory of innumerable kind and gracious Sdeeds, and tho most genuine aspirations for,his happiness and welfare. Men looked up to him as a pure and upright magistrate, they honored him as a

Holdier and a patriot, and they admired him us a brave and honorable man. •/,

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bill which Mr. WilecD, of the WayB and Means Committee, is to report to the House in the assembling of Congress, bears the ear-marks in almost every provision of having been framed under the influence of foreign manufacturers and foreign importers. Thomas G. Shearman and David A. Welle, both of whom have long been the hired tools of foreign manufacturers and foreign importers residing in New York, have repeatedly been before the committee, urging their views upon that body, and it seems that they have succeeded in securing just such a bill as these foreign manufacturers and importers desire. The strongest evidence of the foreign origin of the bill is the radical change made in the tariff syBtem, from specific to ad valorem duties, that is a change from a certain number of cents per yard, pound, etc., to a per cent, on the valuation. It was demonstrated by Mr. Webster in hip elaborate Bpeech in the Senate, on the 27th of July, 1846 foreign importers had made vast fortunes by sending goods to this country with two invoices, on=s for the purchaser aad one for the custom house, the one for the custom house being very much lower that the real cost of the goods. And thus the amount of duty was lowered and the revenue defrauded. All who wish to understand the villainy of this new tariff measure should read Mr. Webster's speech in full. It so thoroughly exposes the frauds that were perpetrated under the plan of udvalorem duties that the intelligence of the country has ever since favored specific duties. It is urged that the reduction of duties will encourage foreign importations, and by increasing foreign importations we shall make up for the loss of revenue. But to the extent that we increase foreign importations we decrease home manufactures, and it is therefore as piain as anything can be that this new tariff bill is framed in the interest of the foreigner and against our country.

A RADICAL FREE TRADE BILL. The bill for the complete destruction of American industries, hatched by the majority of the Ways and Means committee, was given to the country Monday. It is a more radical free trade measure than had been expected even from the most rantankerouB advocates of that policy. If this bill becomes a law industries in this country must prepare for such a competition as they have never had before. It means larger importations, smaller home productions, reduced wages and an increased crop of labor troubles. The reduction in the revenue by this bill it is estimated will be about $55,000,000. And this, too, in the face of A 850,000,000 deficit under the present law. It is proposed to meet this deficiency by an income tax. Such a tax was never resorted to but once in the history of this country and that through the necessities of war. It was unpopular then. It will be unpopular now. Democrats denounced it then as unconstitutional. There has been no change in the constitution. It is safe to say, however, that the bill oan never get through both houses in its present shape. There are too many Democratic Congressmen not yet ready to retire to private life.

THE administration views tho matter just right regarding tho Sandwioli Island business, that is to reinstate the Queon over tho country she once controlled, and assume no control over the islands whatever.—Review.

For the United States to attempt to "reinstate the Queen over the country she once controlled" means to declare war against the present government formally or informally and overthrow it by threats or by force of arme. The power to declare war alone reBts in Congress, which the Review can learn by referring to Section 8, clause 11 of the constitution. The present government has been declared the legitimate government by the nations of the world. Shall Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham tell all these foreign nations that their judgment is wrong? It is not now a question of annexation or whether the United States shall "assume control over the Islands," but whether the President and his Secretary of State shall overthrow by force or otherwise an established and recognized government.

THE free trade papers continue to howl about the burdens heaped on the people by the McKinlev bill. They conceal all the time, so far as they can, the fact that every artiole of manufacture, on which the MeKinly law increases the tariff, is cheaper to the consumer than it was when the McKinley law was passed. Fortunately all the people have to go to the stores to buy goods, and the most ignorant at once detect the falsehoods with which these papers try to gull theio. A majority of 81,000 votes in Ohio made manifest their indignation at the way they had been imposed on, and thev will do the same thing in Indiuna when they get a chance.

MR. WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE, the Indiana independent, takes Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Whitney severely to task in the December Forum, for the appointment of Mr. Van Alen as Minister to Rome. He Bays:—"In the Van Alen case we are confronted with corruption in its most naked form. The President has told us that dollars alone, when given to the right person, at the right time, are sufficient to secure as high a place as that ot Minister to Italy. We are informed that the mission to Rome is for sale, and the President ought not to wonder if we resent the insult. It will not do to lay this at the door of any one else. We cannot relieve the President upon the plea of lack of ordinary information. He made this appointment with his eyes open and against the protests of his friends and the people, whose offices are thus given over to the methods of the auction mart, must hang their heads in ehame.''

THE Democratic cry in Ohio was, "Down with the robber tariff!" The people answered by 80,000 majority, "Down with the tariff liars!"
