In all these efforts he deserves and will have the support of all law-abid-ing citizens. It matters not whether the season be good or bad,all things considered, the best advertiser will get the largest part of the business. And the bulk of the business of a poor season is equal to a fair shamof a good season. Every day of delay by the Senate in repealing the .purchase clause of is weakening the faith ofthecountry in that body’s desire to pass the measure. The action of the House in passing the repeal bill promptly was taken by business men as a promise of speed3’ action by the Senate. But that body has developed an enormous supply of surface gas which, forsooth, must be allowed to escape while the country calls for action. The result is a reaction from the buoyancy with which business was affected two weeks ago. We do not believe the silverrepeal bill is the most important that can engage Congress, yet it stands second only to the tariff. And under present conditions’should be passed at once. Then there will remain no excuse for failure to take up tariff legislation at »*ice. From present indications, however, the Democrats are loth to this much needed(?) work. “What thou doest, do quickly,” is the call of the country to the party ia control, but it seems to be moved to action by no cry of distress. Factories may remain closed, workingmen idle, business stagnant, and still it refuses to say what will be done, or even that present arrangements will be left undisturbed. Anything is better than this uncertainty. It Won’t I*o In Practice* The desire even of Democrats for protection when it affects their own locality was strongly brought out before the Ways and Means committee. Free trade is all right so long as it affects only a distant part of the country, or is used as a votecatching theory, but when it is to be applied to practice, it dosen’t fit very well. An amusing instance of this is the story told of Governor McCorkle, of West Virginia, who was before the Ways and Means committee. The result is best set forth in the press report of the proceedings; Governor McCorkle, of West Virginia, said that he was not a mine owner, but the Governor of a State which has 16,000 square miles of coal mines and is just in the beginning of progress. Continuing the Governor eloquently spoke of the natural advantages of his State and made an earnest plea for the retention of the duties on coal. He said he wanted protection for the greatest industry in his State. When the Governor had finished Mr. Tarsney asked: “When were you elected Governor of West Virginia?” “Last November,” “The platform upon which yon were elected was for a reduction of duties, was it not?” “Yes, sir.” “Then why are you advocating protection?” “We are great producers of coal, and I think we ought to be protected.” Mr. Reed told the Governor he thoroughly agreed with him. but he would like to have his assistance in bringing the Democratic members of the committee to the same«nderstanding of the question as he (McCorkle) seemed to have. Mr. Reed said he had in vain attempted to explain to the Democratic members the fallacy of their position, but with the assistance of a Democratic Governor elected on a Democratic platform, he might finally ac< omplish his purpose. These humorous remarks on thepart of , x-bpeaker c--sed much ; M

merriment, and the Democratic Governor, who had advocated protection so eloquently, retired amid great laughter. In u Nutshell. The policy of protection as advocated by the Republican party, has for thirty years given to the American workingmen bettec. pay, better homes, better clothing, better food, better facilities for education and better opportunities to gel along in the world, than the wage earner of any other country upon the globe. And if the Democratic party will just say hands off of the tariff, and let the policy of protection to the American homes alome, that will restore confidence and prosperity in this county. —Seymour Republican.

The auction sale which was to have taken place hero next Saturday has been postponed for a week or two on account of the farmers being busy sowing wheat. The brain of a man is a peculiar thing. The more you put into it the more it will contain. The fuller it is of facts the more room there is for more facts. The less it contains o' knowledge the fuller it feels. Queer isn’t it? —Ex. The proprietor of the Occidental is sometimes absent minded. Monday morning his wife informed him that meat was needed for breakfast. He hastened to the shop, bought a nice piece, paid for it and returned home leaving the meat lying on tin shop counter. No grass grew unde: his- feet when ho made the return trip.

THE BIG FOUR SITUATION. Two thousand unemployed workmen throng Workman’s Hall, says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and discuss the situation from day to day, wondering what the morrow will bring. This is a bad time to think or talk of striking. The trainmen of the Big Four are assembled in this city, and they, too are discussing their grievances. Their wages have been reduced and they have determined they cannot stand the cut. Monday their Grand Chiefs will confer with President Ingalls, and unless a compromise can be reached a strike is threatened. A strike of that kind would be a serious affair. It would involve the happiness of 2,500 families. It would be a bad thing for the Big Four, a bad thing for the men, a bad thing for the city of Cincinnati and the towns on the line of the road. Mr. Ingalls pleads that the present condition of affairs has made the reduction of salaries necessary. The depression which is felt in all other business enterprises has reached the railroads as well. Mr. Ingalls has been a kind and ever-considerate chieftain. His actions throughout have been friendly to the workingman, friendly to organized labor. When the times made retrenchment an imperative necessity he exempted those whose wages were below $600 a year from the reduction. His men have not forgotten it, and their hearts are with him. They will listen to friendly council. When the same condition of affairs existed on the L. & N., public opinion was against a strike. The Grand Chiefs recognized this fact; they recognized the hardships that would result from the crippling of a big system. They decided against a strike, and sent the men back to work, with the understanding that their condition should be ameliorated as the times improved. The same question is involved now. Will the Grand Chiefs be consistent, and follow the established precedent? Or will the men be made to suffer, the city be made to suffer, because they cannot be brought to appreciate the exigencies of the situation. Geo s. cool DEALER IN DUMBER, LfVTH AND SHINGLES.
