Mr. Turpie is right. Thj Dingley tariff is a good thing for th trusts, but it is rough on the feds era treasury. Customs revenue is derived from imports. The Dingley tariff h»s reduced this re. venue because it has la vied praotically prohibitive rates. The Dingey law gives opportunity for exacting tribute from the consume tr, which opportunity the manufactunng combines are improving Ho that DiDgleyism diverts revee from the treasuryinto the pockets of the monopolists. It is a “robber” tariff, just as all high tariffs are robbers. - Lafayette Joui a I (dtm,). The Mr non for the thirdwee k ? n Juns earned $62,914, an inorease of $2.623.

“The Democratic Sentinel styles the Wording of the call for the Democratic Gounty Con ention “a confession of weakness —an agonizing cry for help.”-Rensselaer Journal. So far as the call of the demo cratic county chairman ie concerned it is net so important “a con*, session of weakness” as that or, dered by the republican state com*, mittee and issued by tbe chairman thereof. The ol ject of the OUR* ty chairman, in bis call, was to af*» ford an opportunity for a number of Ms populistic a< visers and dn taiors to continue ito that relation with him- there was no cemocrat* ic committee, unless the rsply of out young friend, Art Nowels. sup* posed to be secretary, is correct, when he responded to ui query “who comprise the county d mocratic committee?”.. Dave Sheilds. The demo iatic party of Jasper county is not responsible for the phraseology of the call issued by Shields, who has no knowledge of the honest fighting strength of tbe the party upon which to base his fears?

On the other hand the phraseology of the ca l for the republican state convention was outlined by tne republican committee, and on its order issued ty the chairman tliereof It is fair to presume that the republican sta'e committee is fully conversant with the condition of the party within the state, which gives the wording of the call the great significance that must attach to it. The Wallace Shows nave the finest horses of any show on earth... At > ensselaer, Wednesday, August 3d. “Show your appreciation of our efforts to issue a good democratic paper, aDd ono that you need not be ashamed of, by subscribing for it... Jasper Countv Democrat. • You will have'to exercise great patience, neighbor. You see our people have read just such items as the above on several former occasions, and feel it a bou* den duty to orofit bv past experience. They soon discovered the writers capable of as great ‘‘efforts to issue a good re üblican paper, and one that you need not be ashamed of,’* or “a good populist paper, and ono that you need not be ashamed of,” and have no use for men of such versatile accomplishments. Then there are others who, like oui old friend, Syl. Omeara, say they paid their dollar, but the d. .cl paper went a glimmering. Be patient, neighbor. Everv exchange we uave seen remarks on the tact that tbs Wallace Shows is the one show that really exhibits everything that it advertises. At Rensselaer, Wednesday, August 3d. Henry Eiglesbacb had the first joint of the index finger of bis left hand taken off by the gearing of a windmill.

The Chicago Chronicle expresses surprise at the report that Gen. James H. Wilson,o. Delaware, is to be made military governor of Guba. General Wilson was a Jis* tinguished Union officer in the civil war and was appointed a' ma*jor general of volunteers in this war. His fitness for the office of military governor is not questioned, but the Chronicle says "Bj ill considerations both of fitness and sentiment thit position belongs to tbe man who is universally admitted]to be m< st conversant with tbe situation —the man who'fa ed danger and death in protecting tbe interests of Mb country and the lives of his countrymen and who left tbe island at tbe command of the President. “It is not necessary to recite the services of Fitzhugh Lee as consul general at Havana Every one knows of them For weeks he wa tbe central fig re in the events that preceded tfce war. The eyes of the American people a ere f cused up him and under that searching scrutiny his conduct was without a daw. He served his oountry with a fidelity and earnestness! that earned for him th ■ vindictive hatred of tbe Spaniards—hatred that m invested itself in the deliberate slight put upon him Dy Blanco at th time of his dope: ture. He is above all other , the American Spaniards hate and the Cubans trust. “He quitted Cuba with Spanish jeers rim ing in his ears. H should return to it as military governor of tbe island. To pass ever him in favor of any other nun would be the rankest injustice injnstice wnich would be resented by the Ameiioan people—Republicans as well ns Democrats There is enough septiment left t ♦his country tain ist that demands of poetic ju tioe shall be satisfied—that the man who left Cuba, hissed by the Spaniards, shall return to it as ruler and governor of thejisland.l Nothing less will do. “General Wil on ay be an excellent t ffleer ud an adminis rator of ability.— Wi have no desire to dispa age his mer its. But if be combined the mil tarv genius of Napo'eon with the statecraft of itio ilieu his claims lo supreme command in t üba woull not eighas mueh ns a hair in the balance against the considerations which demand the appointment of General Loe. "The d mauds of justice and the sentiment of the American people will not be satisfied wi'h any proposition whici does not include toe selection of Fitzhugh Lee as governor general of Cuba."

At Rensselaer, Wednesday, August Bd. It is said that Me Kinley is thoroughly aroused over the delay in the of General Miles and the expedition under his command to Porto Rico, and has issued personal orders to Admiral Sampso that he should proceed immediately to Porto Rico with General Miles, that the instructions are imperative, and juscepti ble of no misconstruction. Bamp». son's polit eal backing from the Hanna-Elkins following may not s ve him from a r< buke from the administration. The Wallace This Ilg circus iD .Shows stitution is making a splendid re* cord this season, receiving nolhiug but words of prai efrom the rress of every c : ty visited. The following is taken from a leDgthv article which recently appeared in the Mt. Carmel (Pa ) Star: “Bpac3 alone will not permit our giving credit that is justly due to Tne Wallace Gircus which showed here yesterday For good, honest, conscientious v ork they deserve a lot of good things being said of them. The man that advertises his wares, and then gives even bettr r than he contracts for, is a phili tbropist and his name is "few’ and Mr. Wallace can be classed among these few. \\ hy go into a 1 ingthy dissertation o the individual features of the show? Their- own press notices deal in that kind of •~oods and we know, now, that they are ot a quality j st a »hade superior to what it 18 claimed foi them If mention must be made, the first to demand recognition would be the Nelson family. Their act is one whole show in itielf, and storms of applause greet their work. They They stand unsurpassed. A clos" second is found in the Stirks, in their bicycle “turn.” Their control of the silen* steed must be seen to be appreciated.” At Rensselaer, Wednesday, An gust 3d.

Sampson as Admiral Sampson a Gbabbbeb, has a peculiar habit of t yiug to grab things which belong to somebody else. He grabbed the prisoners Schley ban captured when the Cristobal Colon was sunk,he tried to grab the credit of Schley’s victory over Cervera, and he attempted to grab the Spanish ships lying in Santiago harbor and surrendered to General Shafter by General Toral. So far Sampson has not had very good success in his scheme of grabbing. The people of the United States have decided that Schley is the m. n who deserves al the credit for smashing the Spanish fleet commanded by Cervera, and the government authorities have derided that Sampson has no claim to the shipe surrendered by Toral (

If Sampson was as anxioms to grab the property of Spaniards as' he l to seize things which belong*' to Americans, he would probably m ke a good reeord before tne end of the war. But now reports come to hand that he is jealous of the army and is delaying Miles' departure for Porto Rico.” If th's report is true, Secretary Long should grab Sampson and put some one m hit* place who is patriotic, dashing and broad minded. Commodore Schley is that kind of a mao, and has bravely earned the title of admiral, Heroic Schley. After Schley had smashed Cervera’s fleet, it was suggtsted to Sampson by the war board at Washington that the admiral sho’d take his fleet into Santiago harbor. Sampson replied that in his opinion the task was too dangerous, and that to attempt it would be foolhardy. Schley wanted to enter the harbor when he bottled Cervera, b«iji orders from Washington prevented ihe bold commodore from doing as his experience and courage prompted. Now that Santiago has fallen it appears that Sohley was right and Sampson wa« wrong. An inspect tion of the torts and batteries has shown them to be incapable or much war work of modern kinds. Some of the guns were unprotected even by earthworks. Morro Castle vas formidable only in appearance There was “not a gun mounted within or on its crumb ling walls.” Referring to this matter the New York World says: “It s discovered now th t there were do defenses—either forts or mines—that could have prevented Schley from entering the harbor at the beginmng, destroying Ce.vera theieQind capturirgtqevery thing that the army ou shore has 1 ad to capture at so great a cost of life.” Again has Sohley been vindioaU ed as to his judgment. Not only is his the honor of discov ring Cervera’s hiding place, of destroyj iDg the Spanish fleet when it en deavored to escape, but of preoar iug a plan to capture the city and the ships without the aid of the army, which .vents show he could have successfully accomplished. Sampson, ly grace of political pud is admiral of the fleet, but Schley by popular consent is the naval hero of Santiago.

A new and peculiarly fatal disease has appeared among the horses m northern Lviana, according to a Laporte telegram. The an is mai is first attacked with a pro fuse perspiring. T» is is followed by a chill, then the head swells. There is a heavy discharge o: mucus and death speedily ensues.
