One of the big combines has gone to pieces, that is the Harvesting Machine combination has gone for the present but may turn up after a while in a different shape to swindle the farmers.

JAI/.bS’ZZdZZ FIELD AND 3FKIXLEI'. I Marshall, Field <S s Co., ate heavy ; iraporte -. Last year they paid Si,-1 400,000 in customs duties, and ot Course were re-imbursed in some measure by consumers, who paid the price of the imported fabrics plus the duties. But the higher the duty the greater the hardshiji upon the merchant. The capital employed m his business must be greater, his risks of loss through failure of customers, ordinary Lad debts, and destruction by tire are enhanced by the amount of fb.e import duties. His interest account and local taxation are the heavier 'because ot them. The higher the duties are made the greater the prospect of ■ diifiinished consumption. The McKinley tariff law raises the customs duties paid by the firm from $ 1,400,000 to §1,800,000. ft it is lawful to exact such payment no protest from a merchant or a consumer will avail >ave as it creates public opinion that ultimately may result in the rep.-aj "r modification of the law. ihe McKinley law copsti’.u---tfomd.-' 'l'h. l question wa> raised in Nek York. It was raised also by Marshall, Field A Co. The board of apn'-.iisers decide perfunctorily against the Chicago firm. It said in doing so: “The inquiry is no: e itiieiy fiee from doubt. 'I here arc forcible leasons to be considered on b >:h -ides of the contention. But, a we ii; ve said, under a well ••ettl.il cannon of construction, tube m di'iil t is to sustain the law." j'c of c-iiifentioti his in I ib, ■ ::<s t ntioii that the bill signed by i the i'ia -ii'ent; who. as the Tun - ■ ipoiabd '.iiil on th? day it gained hi-I I sign ititi’c, never examined it and j . . *<» . i knew onlv in a g< nci ;l wav iluit it > ! p i-no.-el Ifgher tariff taws, w as net i |th • bill pii-se lby the Houses. I i omit led a - ; ul>stantinL inl« gral p iri . 1 of tne measure, thecl ni-c regarding | | the revenue to be derived 1 from to- | bacc a Tlie essentials of a -law of j 'he I'niitd States wery lacking. The Piesldei.t approved a measure width had not been passed by the Houses of Congress. In its grievous ha-te to plunder the- Kepublican party blundered. Tim mattyr now goes for decision to the. federal court of tins district. The machinery for popular government devised Ijv the Constitution of the United States does not move rapidly. In Great Britain the • response to popular demand is much more readily gained. We have an executive with a fixed term, w’ho has the right, as Harrison has done, to refuse recognition of the popular judgment regarding this very law. Substantially he has told the congress that passed it that the people in repudiating it were ignorant of their own interests, and . their verdict must .be disregarded. The Representatives in Kongress chosen last November will not take their scats for eleven months yet. Should ; they repeal the McKinley law and substitute therefor a rational revenue measure, the I’resident has still tK;> power of obstruction. Had the M'pnliir demand been respected, or weredt possible under the forms !of the government to give quick effect to that verdict, there would now be no need for Marshall. Field i Co., or any other importer to chalj lenge in the courts tlie suffmtentfy ! of ’.he higher tariff measure which ' the 'iopublican party thinks it has I enacted. But since progress will ' be neessarily slow; another prtsideu- ' rial election being necessary to give 1 efficacy to the judgment entered ; i?.-t No< ember, ii is well to prosl?e stvthe judicial inquiry.—< 7/moeo j 7'.-nns. Wil 11.e the legislature is so busy With the fee and salary bill, they I should not forget that there are ' other matters that the farmers and ' laboring nren are demandin'!. The ( rate of interest if it can be done | without .any serious injury to the ; business of the country should be I reduced to the very lowest possible irate that business men will stand ; gild not drain the money away from ■ this state to wiiere they can get a j larger rate of .'.merest for their money, and then the proviso in the notes for attorney fees they are ' asking that the law be amended so I that a note calling for anything but ' the face value w ith interest shall be | void. ! Thayer, the Ex-Governor, of Nebraska, refuses to vacate the 1 oflicc, and will have to be forcibly ■ ejected to get him out, he claiming that the governor elected at the last ’ election has never been naturalized, I and therefore is ineligible. It looks as though force will have to be used to remove him. It is like taking life to shake a Republican off from an office.

FA TEFAL Gzl.S, 1 The supply in Indiana is it suffi- ; cieut? The Indianapolis SeHtine’of ! last Monday publishes long statements from tho*e vho are in the gas belt, showing that the most of the fortunate ones are sure that the supply is inexhaustable or that there will be plenty’ f >r all time to come. While some ret or: the gradual decrease in the pressure so that time will leave them either without gas or they, like their unfortunate neigh bor, will be compelled to pipe .the same or do without it. We 4 ffnd that Portland is in that condition and Bluffton complains that they are afraid of finding themselves withoutjany gas some ot these cold rthblmings when they come to wake up, and in fact all the towns outside ot the gas belt are in the same condition. While Red Key, in Jay rounty, has an- abundance and to spare, they are talking of having the county seat moved there or at least to where gas is plenty. ! nr campaitxn be’ng over, the Decatu r y <>'i>■ >. c;' -houid pir its wrath in soak and strive to he as nood 41 local paper its eoivemporar v, the Democrat.— /iart ( i./v Bro.

The ringing of door bells, calling the lad* ot the house from her work, and then thrusting a quack medicine dodger into , h r a e, is not an evidence of good man ' n is or g< od racing, is never appreciated.
