And the Poors keep on fighting. Not the least crime to bo laid at the doors of the. trusts is the admitted fact that they sell their goods abroad cheaper than they do at home. The Attorney General says it is all right to consider the Philipines foreign territory that is exactly what Aguinaldo has contended all the time. Harrison waited until after his words could do any good in guiding the country aright before he spoke. Arid he seems rather proud of his lapse from duty into the bargain. Sixty odd millions for rivers and harbors! Whew! The committee evidently must have come to believe some of those prosperity stories that ar.* being circulated so freely. Yes, thank you, The Democrat * man knows exactly “where he is at,” but it is said that the Washington street editor and his expert printer of the Barnacle are somewhat muddled. The President warned Congress to be economical and in reply it is considering the most extravagant River and limber bill ever projected. Now let us see whether McKinley will have the nerve to call down its promoters. It was somewhat, nervy wasn’t it for Mr. CnimpHcker of Indiana to fall foul of tin* south on the lynchingquest oi in his report on the apportionment bill when the bodies of three im n lynched in his o\ut state were scarcely J-et cold. For a wonder' the House killed tha G. A. U. bill to turn all tho goverment offices over to the old soldiers. However the demandwill certainly be renewed and may ultimately be granted. Tho G. A. K. is still a force in politics. •lust suppo- c the supremo court declares that t here can be no tariff barriers between the United States am! the Philppines, what then? What will the Republicans do? Consent to free trade or “scuttle’' out of the islands? A Martinsville concern is putting in machinery that will make 2(H),(.MX) clot! . .-liins a day. It is thought tlv: i great deal of the product can is* sold to republicans of the Pii „ i>■ Harrison, Wallace et al. strip \ f»r use when casting their vote;, What a f:.r< < the reciprocity provision in '.lie Diugley bill are. Congress has not yet ratified n single tica; negotiated under it, and will m »t do go, morover, it was never,mended tlmt it should do so i'Vi n \ those who drew the pruvi ion in ii:is bill. Judge McCabe, formerly of the Indiana Suptv.ne bench and n jurist who has always stood high in legal rnnlm , s well as a citizen, has saitl that he b ‘doves that a law providing f.u the use of voting machines is no institutional because the coustitut on provides thut we shall vote b\ ballot. J iulgo McCabe l>*iie\ that voting by machine is not voting by ballot and says that the s umiard dictionaries bear him out ut his view. He says he has never heard the question discussed. By the wnv, we believe the Barnacle “editor" had considerable to say some time ago about oui making an overcharge g;i those health notices, but he lias closed up completely since his old pard Marshall, ii t> be given an opportunity to prove the truth of tho charge. It might be a good idea to also give the Barnacle “editor’’ tho opportunity to prove whether <;r no he was right in making the charges, after Marshall has established (?) to the satisfaction of a jury that wo did make such overcharge.
