BETWEEN the solid, compact and organized opposition of the Republicans in the senate and the small minority of democratic protectionists, the chances for genuine tariff reform are very remote. -

THE house of representatives has passed by a party vote, the bill for the reinstatement of clerks dismissed from the railway mail service betwfeen March 15 and May 1, 1889. The vote was: Yeas, 140; nays, 53. ' »

~ANDREW CARNEGIE, in an interyiew published in the Engincering Review, is quoted as saying that he does not think the United States now requires protection, which he claims is of little use for revenue purposes as manufactured imports haye fallen low,

RELIABLE INFORMATION comes from Washington that the trouble from which Senator Voorhees is suffering is bladder trouble, which is causing him intense pain. The Senator has been told that only an operation will relieve him, but he fears the ordeal and so has been postponing It. ‘ ’

THE Frankfort Crescent predicts

‘‘Before the active canvass of 1894 icommences the. tariff Issue will be dead as a smelt. The real issue upon which voters will divide is the silver question. Mark the prediction.” And in that contest the cause of genuiné bimetallism will, judging from present appearances, prove a winner. ;

ONE of the small economies coming into use on railroads is that of starting the fire under the locomotive with oil instead of wood. By the use of a little cotton waste and a spraying apparatus for the 011, ‘the fire ig started at a cost of about two and a half cents, while with wood it costs from eleven to thirty-five cents. The time required is about the same.

- Coasr defenses and battle ships come high but we must have them. The new iron-clad, the Indiana, just named after our own great state, cost half as much ag Alaska and ig one of the most formidable war ships in the world. A movement has been inaugurated by the Indianapolis News: for the purpose of raising $lO,OOO by voluntary subscription, to be applied in the purchase of a service of silver and a library for our namesake. This is a commendable and patriotic enterprise and all Indianians should take pride in lending substantial assistance, by forwarding to the Indianapolis Newg such sums as their patriotism may suggest.

ACCORDING to the report of the European agent of the department of agriculture, for June, wheat in Great Britain was looking remarkably well, and an excellent yield of all cereals was expected. In France the wheat and other crops are likely to be considerably above the average. In Spain and Austro-Hungary ayerage crops are promised; in the southern proyinces of Italy the prospects are described as yery good; and in Prussia the wheat crop 1s

expected to be quite up to the average though ryve and hay will. be shbrt. The reports from all parts of Russia show that crops will exceed the average except in Poland, where large areas are troubled, with rust.

THE last bulletin of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that for the year ended June 30, 1893, over 61 per cent. of American railroad stocks paid no dividends at all. Yet there are over four billions of dollars worth of these stocks owned by ' American people, mainly by persons in moderate circumstances. The year ended June 30, 1893, was a better year than usual. The year just closed, June 30, 1894, will show that three-fourths of these stocks will pay no dividend whatever. In a few years, the American stockholders of these railroads will be wiped out, but there are over five billions of dollars of bonds on these railways, drawing their interest in gold, and largely owned in Europe. =

THE bloody shirt orator will soon be out of a job. The politician that persists in cultiyating a seéctional feeling hereafter will certainly receive, as he deserves, the disapprovil of his fellow citizens. The south has gloriously demonstrated its loyalty to the government and its fraternal feeling towards the north. Gen. John B. Gordon has supplemented his magnifi‘cent speech in the senate with the following statement in conyersation:

I am commander-in-chief of the confederate union, which is an organization of confederate veterns similar to the Grand Army of the Republic. If occasion requires it I will march an army of old soldiers across the long bridge over the Potomac greater than Gen Lee eyer commanded, every man of whom will fight to the death to preserve the union and command respect for the old flag.. ‘

WHILE the exports of breadstuffs, provisions, cotton, petroleum, live animals, etc., from this country during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1694, fell off about three millions, the exports of manufactured products, machinery, etc., increased more than forty millions. But the Journal of Commerce admonishes itsreaders not to feel happy in contemplating this increase, for ¢‘the range of prices of exported o.rt_.iclesfhas been so low that the expansion. of exports must be regarded as an eyidence of depression rather than prosperity.”” This seems rather a pessimistic view of the subject, and the Rochester Post-Express neatly rebukes it, by -suggesting that, ‘“perhaps the foreign purchasers may like our manufactured products so well, and tind our farming and other machinery to work so satisfactory that they will contract the habit of buying them.”

THE WAR between China and Japan will bé ‘closely watched by the nations of the world. According to the dispatches, the torpedo. has already distinguished Itself. A Japanese warship, coming close to a Chinese transport, discharged a torpedo: at her. The death-dealing missile struck fairly. The transport went down, and nearly 2,000 lives were lost. Both nations haye modern war ships and modern guns, and a nayal conflict will contribute much to settle the certain mixed questions as to armor plate, speed, capacity” to quickly maneuver; gun power, ete. The contest may dissipate many.pet notions now entertained by naval officials. If it seryes to demonstrate that the speedy, easily handled and smaller warship is more than a match for its big, unwieldy rival, it will be the beginning of a small reyolution 1n naval architecture.

Hon. J. B. SToLL in an article defending ‘the senate .tariff bill says: There is an average reduction of oyer 50 per cent in the woolen schedule, In the metal schedule the reductions are systematic and thorough, scarcely an item escaping revision. The average reduction-is over 31 per cent.. In cotton manufacture the reduction is over 21 per cent. Wool and lumber are free, and the tariff on coal has been reduced from 75 to 40 cents a ton, In iron ore the reduction is 47 per cent. These reductions run. through the whole bill, the average reduction being 30 per cent. On many articles of common consumption the reduction is 50 and 60 per cent. A comparison of the senate bill with the McKinley law will convince any sane man that the difference is great enough to give encouragement and satisfaction to the tariff reformer who knowe what reform is. .

LAWLESS RAILROAD CORPORATIONS

One good result of the recent difficulties is that the attention of the country will be called in a most emphatic manner to the management of some of the extensive railroad lines, particularly to the violations of the interstate-coms merce law; these laws were passed to insure the fair treatment of all shippers by the same railroads and to break up long existing abuses in the way of discriminating rates. That these laws haye partially failed isshown by the investigation into the affairs of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe company since its control has passed into the hands of receivers. It is revealed that within the last three years alone $7,000,000 haye been’ paid to fayored shippers as rebates. That is, instead of giving these large and favored shippers lower rates, as formerly, they evaded the law by first collecting th and then refunding them. This woéfii indicate that the vast aggregation of railroad lines is being run in the interest of favored shippers to the loss of the stockholders, whose property has shriveled from par in 1886. o nothing in 1894. Those seven million of dollars would have gone a long ways toward .paying the defaulted interest on the bonds of the company. But the loss to the owners of the road is of little consequence compared with that of the great body of shippers who haye been discriminated against by the payment of rebates to competitors. Probably such favoritism is one of the most prolific causes of business disasters. The man of ample capital-and large shipments has the advantage of the best, but when, by paying back a part of his freight charges, it js made possible for him to undersell the scores of small competitors, a gross injustice is done to many men, and, incidentally that confidence which is the basis of business activity is shaken by the suspensions of firms who are forced tothe wall by reasons of the unjust disceriminations. The Sante Fe and all railroads which have evaded the interstate law by -rebates are lawbreakers and should be dealt with "as other offenders. If the interstate commerce commission has no power to compel these corporations to present their books a committee of the senate or house hag, and either of those bodies could render the people no more timely seryice than to inquire into the methods ~of some of the more important interstate commerce lines, as the receivers of the Santa Fe have into its affairs, tosee if the interstate law. designed to secure justice to all shippers, is bein%l evaded by the payment of rebates to here and there a favored person.—lndianapolis Journal, : o

How it Worked at Ashley.

The strike at Ashley is settled, and so far but few of the old men are being taken back. A number of the unmar= ried men have already left town, seeking jobs elsewhbere. Outside of the shopmen, a bare half dozen .of the old men have been put to work. The yards are full of new men looking for jobs. They are examined, given a trial trip and if found competent are retained, otherwise dismissed at once. Master of Motive Power Barnes says the Wabash has 725 new men employed ‘in the locomotive department, and ‘that enough strikers had returned to 'work to make the full equipment -of 950 men.— Ashley Times. -

The New Telcphone Line,

The Kendallville Sun of last Saturday says: [Each day now marks great improvement to the development of the new telephoneline. Yesterday the line was completed to Albion and today our people are chatting very pleasantly with their neighbors there. The line Is<=now completed to South Milford and Wolcottville, connecting with the line to LaGrange, Valentine, and Rome City. The new line has been extended from HKome City to Albion and is now in working order. The wire will soon be stretched on poles from here to Avilla and arrangements have been perfected to run a line from Avilla to Garrett where a connection will be made with the Fort Wayne line now in operation. This will require another week or ten days. Mr. Weathertord has purchased the line from LaGrange to Rome City and the whole will be put under one management. He has also contracted material for a new line from Lagrange to Goshen via Shipshewana and Middlebury. When all these additions or extensions are made we will be within easy touch of the outside world. Mr. Weatherford has secured the seryices of Miss Maude Lester of this city, to take charge of the central office in this city. She is very competent and has always been faithful in the discharge of .all duties assigned her. She has many friends here who will be pleased to learn of her appointment.

Current Politics.

The Democrats of St. Joseph county will hold their county convention at South Bend on August 18th. Things have not begun to get lively in the political line just yet, but we can expect quite a hustle before the battle closes. Hon H. D. Wilson, candidate for judge in the LaGrange-Elkhart circuit, spent considerable of his time at Rome City during the assembly. He is making hay while the sun shines. K We had thought that the. Democrats were monopohizing all of the party quarrels and fights this year, but we are constrained to the opinion that all isnot serene in the ranks of the enemy. Judge Johnson, of Valparaiso, states in a card that under no circumstances will his name be placed before the Logansport convention as a candidate for congress. The judge has had enough to coutend with during the past three or four months to etfectually cure him ‘of further congressional aspiratious. ‘

A well known Populist was in town last Saturday talking about what that political organization expected to do this fall. . From the trend of his talk one would think that both of the old parties had gone out of business. He says that the Populists would poll more voles in Noble and DeKalb counties than either of the old parties. It now looks as if the question of the renomination of Congressman Conn, in the Thirteenth district, will not be settled until Mr. Conn’s return from Washington. Mr. Cenn still insists upon being a candidate outside the platform lines of his party, or else not all, and the convention takes the position that thay have no - power to recognize any but a simon pure democratic candidate. . - _ - Republican day at [sland Park last Friday came very near being a dismal failure. No erowd putin an appearance and the speakers adyertised were not on hand, a telegram from Gen. Gibson’s physician being the only word receiyed from the principal orators. W. D. Owen was not there either and the talking was done by Ketchem of Indianapolis, and J. E. Watson of Rushville. =

Hon. E. Vol Bingham, the democratic candidate for judge in the LaPorteSt. Joseph circuit, is a Demccrat for whom it seems it would be a pleasure and. duty to yote. No man stood higher in the estimation of his colleagues in the Indiana senate than did Senator Bingham and no senator was ever more conscientious, painstaking and loyal to what he thought to be the best interests of his people than Hon. E. Vol Bingham.

The next Republican congressional convention in the Tenth district will be hela at Logansport, Aug. 22. Judge Chase and Attorney Wilson, of Logansport; Judge Hammond, of Rensselaer; Hon. C. F. Griffin. of Hammond; George Holman, of Rochester; Judge Crumpacker, of Valparaiso, and Judge Gould, of Delphi, are mentioned as possible candidates but it is not at all certain that Editor Landis will not again strive for the nomination. A

At Goshen last Saturday evening the township caucus for the nomination of trustee, etc., resulted in the nomination of the ring ticket, but peculiar methods had "to be employed, For trustee 420 votes were polled of which E. W. Hess received 247. S. S. Whisler an opposing candidate took advantage ot his motion to make the nomination unaminous to talk plainly about bal lot box stuffing, ete. Upon the next ballot when the assessor was nominated but 270 votes were cast, showing how well the fine workers got there on the first ballot. - :

~An Indianapolis dispatch says the democratic state convention was set for a date unusually late because the party managers did not want the convention to meet until .congress had passed the tariff bill and had adjonrned. There is some fear now lest the tarifl' bill may be still in the hands of congress when the convention meets, It is possible that if congress has not disposed of the bill by the first of week after next the convention may be postponed a month. - Latest dispatches from Washington indicate that the tariff question will be settled within a short time; hence postponement ofithe democratic state convention, fixed for August 15, is not probable. : ‘

Brakeman Fatally Injured at Cromwell.

Last Monday morning at Cromwell‘ Albert Bloomfield, a brakeman on the B. & 0., was fatally injured by being run over by a part of his train. The‘; young man who had had considerable experience in railroading undertook to climb upon a rapidly moying car; not noticing that the lower step or stirrup had been broken he made the step that cost him his life. Both feet were thrown under the wheels and his left handswas also badly mashed. He was immediately taken to Garrett where an effort was made to saye his life by amputation, but the shock was too great and he died Tuesday afternoon. Bloomfield was a -Noble county boy, having resided -at Kendallyille and Swan. He was popular and well liked. -He was married, -

A Horrible Accident at Cromwell.

Last Friday morning the B. & O. track in front of the Cromwell station was the scene of a horrible accident in which Sherman Mullen, a twelveyeéar old son of John Mullen, lost his life. Young Mullen was at the station early "in the morning, missing his bredikfast. On his way to work Mr. Mullen stopped at the depot and told the boy to hurry?home if he wanted something to eat. The father walked eastward along the. track while the boy started in the opposite direction toward his home. A rapidly moving freight train was approaching from the west. As the boy was about to step off the track in -front of the approaching engine he was suddenly attacked with an epileptic fit, falling across the iron directly in front of the engine. The engineer was powerless and was horrified to see the poor boy ground to pieces. The body was horribly mutilated, death being instantaneous. Mr. Mullen had not gotter out of hearing and was called back immediately. The little fellow had been afflicted for several years with these falling fits, but had not had an attack for-some time.

Remarkable Presence of Mind.

In the days that are to come, when men congregate in their favorite resorts and the reminiscent fever takes hold on them, Earle Brown can tell of an experience thatis of the hair-rais-ing variety and one that can scarcely be discounted by any man who has any respect for the veracity of his statemenft. i

Sunday morning Earle Brown came into Laporte on the first 62, a fast freight, about 7 o’clock. A number of trains were in the yard at the time, and as the Lake Shore’s capacity for track room is rather limited at this noint, considerable ** see sawing ’’ had to be done in order to get out on time. The train Brown was on was to sidetrack and to this gentleman, who was working on the rear end, fell the duty of throwing the switch. He stepped off the rear end of the caboose and seeing the yard engine coming on .the track he wanted, waited until it passed when he stepped onto the track for the purpose of throwing the switch. No soon‘er was he between the rails than a moving car struck him, throwing him ten or twelve feet directly ahead. His presence of mind is all that saved him. Rolling himself near the lefthand rail he flattened his body out and lay there while twenty cars passed over his body. His right arm, above the elbow, was terribly mangled by the brake beams, and his back was bruised in many places. When the last car had rolled over the man he arose and walked to the station house, his elothing all torn and twisted, and dirt and cinders all over his body. For seyeral minutes he sat there holding his arm and enduring unutterable pain, thinking all the time that this member of his body would have to be taken off at the shoulder. A special car under Conductor Curran and pulled by engine 8, brought the injured man to his home, arriying here at 5:15. A narcotic was administered and an examination was made. Dr. Short does not think the amputation of the arm will be necessary, although the injury is a serious one. —Elkhart Journal. . .

Death of Louis Ruch,

C. Louis Ruch, the well known painter and decorator who has been doing business in Petoskey for a number of years, died shortly after eight o’clock Tuesday night. Mr. Ruch was able to perform his usual .duties until about a week ago, when he was suddenly taken with what he at tirst supposed was painters’ colic. The disease proved to be peritonitis. - The physicians did what they could for him and he -seemed better Monday afternoon. The apparent improvement in his condition proved to be only the last rally of the failing powers before dissolution, and was speedily followed by the sleep of death. Mr. Ruch was a good musician—a member of Ruch’s military band, and had been selected to sing a prominent part in ‘‘Pinafore.”” He hadrehearsed his part, but was taken ill the same day the opera was presented in Petoskey. He leaves a wife and child, father and brother to mourn his sudden death. The funeral services were held at the residence near the corner of Lake and Division streets, at 4 o’clock p. m. on Thursday. The Rev. F. L. Thompson, l pastor of the M. E. church, and Rev. Wylie K. Wright, pastor of the Pres'byterian church, assisted in the services which were under the auspices of ‘the National Union, of which deceased iwas president, and of the Uniformed Rank Knights of Pythias. In the procession Ruch’s military band led, followed by the uniformed rank and subordinate K. P.’s and National Union. Mr. C. Louis Ruch was born at Warsaw, Indiana, May 16, 1859—and was therefore only a little more than 25 years old. He was a splendid workman, a good-hearted, genial companion and a deveted husband and father. His aged grandmother, Mrs. Merriam, of Ligonier, Ind., arrived several weeks ago to spend the summer with her grandson, little thinking that she would | be called to perform the sad duty of following his body to the grave. The broken hearted wife and all the members of the family are nearly prostrated with grief at the sudden death of Mr. Ruch. —Petoskey’ (Mich.) Daily Resorter. ; : i

John Everly, twenty-three years old, of Kosciusko county, met death most singularly a few days ago. He assisted Wm. D. Fawley and Milton Black in running a traction engine, which broke down, and while his companions repaired the machinery he threw himself on the ground in front of the engine for a nap. When the repairs were completed the men started the engide and he was crushed to death. g '

Obituary. - Alice E., daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. J. J. Knox, was born in Eikhart township, Noble county, one mile from Wawaka, Feb. 13, 1859. She entered into rest in Ligpnier, July 27, 1894, at the age of 35 years, 5 months and 14 days. She came with her parents to Ligonier in the fall of 1881 where she has been permitted to spend thirteen pleasant and profitable years. KEarly last spring she contracted a cold which took hold upon ker lungs and speedily developed into consumption. It made rapid progress and baflled the skill of ’p‘hysicians.. She joined the Methodist church in 1870 when but a small girl under the pastorate of Rev. A. E. Mahin. Her life has been a constant exemplification of the gospel of Jesus Christ: She loved the church of her choice and has been one of its most faithful workers. Her seat was never vacant unless away or sick. She has been a teacher in the Sunday school for many years and her place will be bhard to fill. When taken sick she had ‘a large clags of young men who for months have clung with a lingering hope that she might be restored to them, but today with tender hands and a precious recollections of the wise teachings they bear her to the silent tomb. She did not win her scholars by flattery but by an intense interest n their welfare and imparting unto them valuable and wholesome ilnstructions. She was also an earnest and intense temperance worker, being a prominent member of W. C. T. U. In this she was truly conscientious, believing the liquor trafic to be a dangerous and subtle foe, So long as she had strength to reach the church she regularly taught the children the dangers of this common enemy. In this her influence will be abiding. Her last illness embraced a period of over four months and was attended with a good deal of sufl'erix:fi. But through it all she was patiedt and suffered as a true child of God. She was not heard to murmer or complan. but was possessed of great Christain fortitude. When she’ became conscious of her condition ghe did not shrink but manifested her usual, unselfish spirit, expressing a desire to live not for herselt but for others, her parents and her sister. She truly ‘‘endured as seeing the Invisible,”” She spoke freely of the beauties of heaven and of its attractions for her. Some weeks ago she said ““I do not have o get ready to die.”” *So thorough had been her life that all these years the pre- | paration had been goinZz on. Her work on earth is now completed, but her influence still lives among us. The battle has been fought the victory over death has been achieved and she has gone to receive the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, hath kept in waiting for her. % % ¥ o
