There are limits to the toughness even of the democratic stomach. It swallowed Old Bill English without a grimace; but when it came to “Horse Leech Gray’’ {he dose wouldn’t go down. The Valparaiso Messenger says that Harry Francis, democratic Candidate for state senator in Laporte county, possesses the breath and the depth for a legislator.” The breath of a democratic legislator is a fearful and a wonderful thing, sometimes. If the declaration that “The wicked shall not live out half their days," is literal truth, then old Jeff Davis must have been planned for a pre tern at orally long life, The old traitor is eighty years old now, and still deals out treason as persistently as thirty years ago.

The memorial address of Col. W. C. L. Taylor, delivered at Rensselaer on decoration Day, is long but will well repay a careful reading. It was pronounced by common consent of all who heard.it one of the most eloquent and appropriate addresses they ever listen-' ed to. There is progress, even in methods of killing criminals. Ohio murderers can be executed only inside the walls of the state penitentiary and in becoming privacy. New York has just gone one better in that line and adopted arlaw substituting death by electricity for hanging. The election in Oregon Monday was the first gun of the campaign and the result is a big bomb-shell exploded right in the "face of the St. Louis convention. The Bepublicans carry the state by 40Q0 majority and have both houses of the Legislature, by large majorities. The Republicans fought the battle on a straight-out protection platform and carried the state by the largest majority since the war. No fear now of the Pacific states in November.

Eii The new Democratic paper will probably make its appearance before many weeks. It will not be printed on a new two thousand dollar printing outfit, however, but will be printed in H. E. James’ printing office. It is also safe to say that the 800 paying subscribers will not be realized, not by a very large per cent, 60 at least. No effort has been made to equitar bly retire Bra McEwen and he announces his intention to neither get off the track nor be runlover He will along at the old stand and the new concern will probably soon realize that the old man is a stayer from IV ay Back. The alleged statesmen who are working the revenue reform racket want to keep up the tariff on rice and sugar and put wool on the free list Yet the rice and sugar industries are very limited in ex-

tent and do hot thrive even under a high tariff, the production being no greater in either, than in 1869. On the other hand the production of wool is widely extended and has increased many fold siuoe 1860, under a protective tariff. Why then this illogical aud unjust discrimination? The answer is evi-dentXhe-prmbK!ticui..Qf,.jvool is carried on principally in Northern aud Republican states, while th§ Production of rice and sugar is confined wholly to the Sc,uth; and that section must be kept “solid.”

The National Prohibition convention, at Indianapolis, last week, was in most respects superior to any previous national convention of that party. There- was a larger element of good common sense, more of practicability, and discretion, and moderation. This fact is apparent in the.choice of a candidate for president. Gen. Fisk is a man deserved of universal respect, both in character and attainments. He is as much more deserving of respect in his character of a Prohibition leader, than {s the. mercenary and malignant sorehead, St. John, as, for instance, are some of bur thoroughly earnest and strictly conscientious prohibitionists of Gillam township, to the former chairman of their county committee. The cranky and impractical element w r as not absent in the convention, however, in fact was there in strong force, as was amply proven when a howling mob forced the impolitic women’s suffrage plant into the platform, against the better judgment of all the wiser members of the convention, who knew tha{ the plank would lose them many votes and gain them almost none. —L-

The Myth of Over Production.

A favorite assertion with free trade advocates is that this counTry manufactures more than jt consumes. So eminent an authority as Congressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky, in his recent speech, put such excess at one-third the total production. The remedy proposed is a cheapening of products, with the view to getting them into foreign markets. The weak point in this free trade position is that the facts are against it, that the manufacturers of this country come far short of supplying the demand for products which can be and are made here. By reference to the American Almanac for 1888, published by the Librarian of Congress, it will be seen that, among the imports of manufactured articles into this country during last year were the following: Clocks and watches f 1,583,023 Corsets..;. 1.058,708 Cotton goods 20,150,050 Earthen ami China ware .... 5,545,888 Fancy articles ...r Flax, hemp.jut#, and manufactures of 33,807,282 c. lass and gla."ware . 777.’ ~ 7,301,340 lilats, bonnets and hoods : r . .... 4,002,011 Iron and steel ana their manufactures 50,615,08» Leather goods *... 10,983,570 rarer audits manufactures 1,985,264 Silk goods .. 81,284,276 Wood and its manufacture* 8,223.504 Woolen goods 44,235,2‘^S Total ...» *237,718,132 Sundry smaller items bring the sum to fully 8240,000.000, but the list enumerated is - sufficient to show that the articles manufactured in this country (allowing 810,000,000 for the “raw- material’' in heiup, liax and jute), fall at least 1230,000,000 short of supplying the demands of the home market.

The people of the United States are proverbially the most liberal 1 buyers in the tvorld. Their cusi tom is worth more than that of all ; people within' possible reach of ! American commerce. The manuj facturers of Europe aad their allies on this side the Atlantic recognize | this fact, and hence their anxiety to breakdown all barriers ana add to the 8230,000,000 our people now contribute to the wealth of other countries, all of which could as well be kept at home for the employment of our own people and enrichment of our own country. *■' Newton County Republican: Have you read the announcement, in our announcement columu this. week, of B. W. Marshall? Theefficiency of this gentleman need not be paraded through our columns. A man giving so universal satisfaction as he has cannot be benefitted by newspaper notices. r —iM———— Jpoh Ingersoll says of President Cleveland’s free trade message: “His argument was all for free trade, and he endeavored to show to the farmer that he lost altogether more money bv protecUom because he paid ft higher price for

for manufactured articles and. received no more for what he had to sell. This certainly was an argument in favor of free trade. And there is no way to decrease the surplus except to prohibit the importation of foreign articles, which certainly Mr. Cleveland is not in favor of doing, or to reduce the tariff to a point so low that no matter how much may be imported the surplus will be reduced. If the message means anything it means free trade; and if there is any argument in it, it is an argument in favor of absolute free trade. The party, not filling to say “free tiade,” twes {{i.e word “reform.” This is simplv a mask and a pretense. The party knows tlrat the President made a mistake.. The party, however, is so 1 situated that it can not get rid of Cleveland and consequently must take him with his mistake —they must tase him with his message and then show that all he intended by “free trade” was “reform.” Goodland Herald: Prosecuting Attorney R. VV. Marshall, of Rose Lawn, paid hia respects to the Herald (office on Monday. Mr. Marshall is a candidate forjre-elec-tion to the office of Prosecutor. So far rs Aye has have been able to learn has filled the position during the present ternq to the. entire satisfaction of all, and we predict his re-election.

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic couqty convention last Saturday afternoon was a very quiet little affair. Forty or fifty of the brethren assembled and dutifully ratified the slate ticket that the bosses had fixed up ber forehand. L. E. Glazebrook, their county chairman, called the convention to order and made a very flowery little speech. He freely lauded the Democratic party, bP course, and also admitted that in the Republic can party they had a respectable foe, whom it would be no dishonor to be defeated by. Mr. Glazebrook is to be congratulated on the possession of such sentiments. They will greatly assuage his sorrows next November.

Ira W. Yeoman, of Remington, was chosen permanent chairman, Jhs. W. McEwen, secretary and Victor E. Loughridge assistant secretary. A calling over of the names of the townships showed that at least one person was present from each of them, unless some accommodating individuals took it upon themselves to answer “here” for townships which were not represented. The convention then proceeded to nominate by acclamation, the men who had been previously settled upon at the store-bqx caucus down the street: W. H. Wells, of Remington, for treasurer, John C. Chilcote, of Rensselaer, for sheriff, A. M. Lakin, of Union, for surveyor and Victor E- Loughridge, of Rensselaer, for coroner. In nominating candidates for commissioners the third district was begun with, by mistake of the chairman, who thought it was the first. The names of James Clowery and Ed. W. Gulp were put forward, some oue evidently not being informed as to how the slate had been fixed up. But the name of Mr. Clowery was withdrawn and Mr. Culp nominated by acclamation, and the convention spared the unpleasant necessity of calling the roll and showing how very slim were the delegations from the out townships. In the second district J as. T. Randle, of Rensselaer, was nominated, without opposition. In the first district the names of Daniel H. Turner, of Wheatfield, and Fred M£iser, of Walker, were proposed. The convention was again disquieted by the prospect of a roll call, but the danger was happily averted by the withdrawal of Mr. Meiber’s name, and the nomiination of Mr. Turner, by acclamation. The convention then ad-' journed.
