In felicitating our esteemed contemporary, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, for its urgency that the Republican party should attack the great trusts by putting on the free list the articles which they monopolize, we said: That cause [tariff reform] is bound to prevail, and it is a wise Republican paper that thus paves the way for its party toward that end instead of allowing it to go blindlj into a cul de sac with the cause of monopoly and thus become identified with it in the popular mind. We find almost simultaneously the same thoughts stated in severer terms by the Philadelphia Times: Nine-tenths of all the mono - poly trusts we have are the logical creation of excessive tar iff taxes, and it is worthy of note that trusts have multiplied rapidly since the last election. because monopoly tariff taxes are regarded as secure against reduction. It is worthy of note also, that, while monopoly combines have rapidly increased since the election to increase needless taxes upon consumers, there has been a steady and almos universal reduction of the wages of labor in our highly protested industries. The people now see the truth, because it can be no longer hidden from them, and one of two things the Republican power of to-aay must choose—either the complete overthrow of monopoly tariff taxes or the complete overthrow of Republicanism.— Which will it choose? There is something more ahead for the Republican Congress and administration than office patronage. The implica tion whichjthe Senate tariff bill was meant to be will have to eventuate in a measure of reform; real reform, too.— Since 1883 we have had experience in sham reform. With a tariff to-day as high almost as the highest point reached during jthe war; with trusts rapidly “cornering” the necessities of life, bleeding the people millions of dollars a year in extortionate prices, the tariff which shields thosej trusts and largely enables them to exist at all has got to be reformed. The Dem jerats made vain efforts at first under Morrison and then under Mills—fair conservative measures, both. They were defeat ed and laughed at for their pains. They are out of govern ment entirely. The Republicans are responsible Their apprenticeship will begin with the coming Congress. We shal 1 ■ee whether “the spiritfof the times has taught them speed.” —lndianapolis News, republican.

A Glaring Indecency —The appointment of Mary Ann Dougherty to a place in the agricultural department is only one of many similar inde cencies of which the Harrison administration has been guilty. But it is a glazing one.— Th© only reason for it is the Cleveland veto of the special pension bill for her benefit.— It does not appear that she was sober enough in the last campaign to be personally of service to Harrison, but she furnished a text for hundreds of campaign lies, and so she has been picked out of the gutter, and rewarded for her sacrifices —St. Louis Republic.

The papers have frequently noticed the comical application of ill- constructed sentences that brought one part into connection with another that was not meant for such ciation at all, as in the advertisement of a “lost umbrella, ■ilk, belonging to a lady three feet high, with ah ivory head.” About the funniest of these oddities we ever saw occurred in*a news item going about through the press- “A Xenia (O.) boy has been in the habit of drivmg a cow to pasture on the back of a horse.” Clover Pile Remedy, 18 4 positive specific fur al forms of Che dwMse.

It Would Be Infamous.

Judge Woods has prostituted the judicial power now in his hands to protect inciters of bribery and corrupters of the suffrage because the rascals were of his own party. No other construction can be put upon his extraordinary course in reversing his own rulingin his original charge to the grand jury with the Dudley letter in view, Judge Woods said the law ‘makes any one guilty who counsels bribery”— that “it is a orime to advise another to make the attempt.” It his second charge, made a few weeks later, and after, as he admitted, hearing from Washington, Judge Woods charged that “it results, of course, that the mere sending by one to another of a letter or document containing advice to bribe a voter, or setting forth a scheme of bribery, how ever bold and reprehensible, is not indictable.” To promote to the supreme court the s uthor of this shameless stultification done to protect the rascals who carried Indiana for Harrison by organized brioery and corrup tion would be the most infamous use of the appointing power ever made in this country.—N.Y. World.

The inventive fertility of the female mind has again exhibited itself, and in a very useful if not imposing direction. A reporter of a New York >aper the other day observed a nice looking woman in the post office, who after buying fifty cents worth of stamps deliberately rubbed the gummed side of the sheet over her back hair. To a female companion who in surprise asked her what in the world she was doing that for, “Oh if you do that your stamps will never stick together. There is oil enough on your hair always to keep them from getting in the tight wad to which they incline in hot weather. The reporter made a memorandum of the incident, and when he got an opportunity he tested the scheme on his own person. He put two bunches of twenty stamps each in tt e same vest pocket the one having first been rubbed over his hair and the other put away just as received. Examining them a few hours later he found that the bunch that had been treated after the woman’s formula was just as he put it in his pocket, while the stamps of the other bunch were hopelessly stuck together He at once proceeded to print the discovery for the benefit of the readers of his paper, and now, thanks to the woman’s ingenuity and the newspaper man s alertness, nobody need be annoyed hereafter by stuck together postage stamps.

In some forms of headache a towel or a napkin wrung out of hot water—as hot as can be borne -and wound around the head affords relief. Over 2,000,000 pike have been placed in the Kankakee river this year.
