The election in Pennsylvania Tuesday was another knock-down blow at constitutional prohibition. The majority against the amendment will be about 135,000. • It is the Chicago Times which gets this off: “Sim Coy, the exconvict, was back in his seat in the Indianapolis common Council last night and his desk was buried under a load of floral tributes. We are pretty loose in our ways in Chicago, but thank heaven, we are not as loose as this.” The laws passed by the late General Assembly of Bulldozers can not stKiid the scrutiny of even the justices’courts, and a justice has just dSfiared one of last winter’s acts unconstitutional. A man near Muncie was arrested for having a seine in his possession. Justice Eiler, of Muncie, held that the statute under which he was arrested is unconstitutional, because it embraced more than one subject. and he was released. ■■■nHHfUMaMaMMtanm The Democratic and Mugwump papers, especially the latter, are trying in every way possible, to blacken the character q£everybody appointed to office by the present administration and even have the supreme gall to try to institute comparison between the appointees of Harrison and Cleveland, to the disadvantage of the former. Their task is a mighty up-hill job, however, for the men chosen for office during the preseiiradministration are, almost or entirely without exception, men of good character and reputation, snd with ample abilities to ably discharge the duties of their various positions. In fact itisrcmarkable, considering the vast number of appointments that have been made since Harrison’s inauguration, that no unfit selections at all, have been made. On the other side of the question, the following extract from the New York Tribune of July 28, 1888, will be found interesting reading at this time, and valuable for comparison to every citizen who desires to judge fairly between the two administrations. The charges made m this article were sustained by over 800 clippings from newspapers which supported Cleveland in 1884 and again in 1888, and the charges have never been successfully denied or gainsaid. The following is the Tribune article: President Cleveland had appointed only seven Territorial Judges when he stated in a published letter that one of them was ‘morally and professionally unfit.” Within a week five of the seven were publicly named as answering the description, in the judgmentof people where they had lived and to whom they were best known. Three of the five the President has since retired for misconduct. Whether his judicial appointments' were exceptionally unfortunate the following -memoranda will help the public to judge. This savory list includes two murderers and the tools of two others, five notorious duellists and three rioters—one to be Judge of the very court by which he had been imprisoned six weeks. It includes five persons who had been indicted or convicted for frauds against the revenue, appointed to

be officers of the revenue service. It includes a jury-fixer, a dead beat, alawyer guilty of defrauding clients and an attorney who had cleared notorious bandits by contriving a defeat of justice, all appointed to be judges. Persons were appointed pension agents who had been indicted for violating pension Jaws. Persons guilty of robbing the mails were appointed post-masters or mail-agents—-one when appointed was in jail for robbing the very office to which he was appointed. Liquor-sellers, their sons or attorneys were appointed internal revenue officials. An impeached State Treasurer, defrauding county or town treasurers, seven forgers—one of whom had served two terms for that offence, but “knew Cleveland personally”—and men guilty of robbery, embezzlement, theft, malfeasance, tapping a church till, grand larceny, bribery, obtaining money under false pretences, of a printing steal, a mileage steal and a paten t f raud, of .keeping gambling houses and houses of resort for the vile of both sexes, of assault and battery, fist-fighting and insulting women, of assaulting a lady temperance lecturer with a club, of wife-beating, of blackmailing and selling offices and of selling official information, with an editor of a rogues’ paper and a Brooklyn police officer who was dismissed for arresting in her bed at two A. M. a sick woman against whom there was no charge and compelling her to walk a mile to a station —all these are chosen instruments of reform. The list of criminals embraces 137, not including 22 persons guilty of political crimes, and 59 other persons directly connected with the criminal classes. But besides these there are mentioned only 49 persons guilty of the crime of treason, though fully one-third of all the appointees of Mr. Cleveland, an army of thirty or forty thousand man, are of that tempt to enumerate appointments of copperheads, whose disloyalty once made them infamous, though 1G are named, and the new chief Justice heads the list. Among the Bebels, those who were the vilest in character come to the surface; like the person who wears a scarf-pin made, of the skull of a Union soldier, or the one who hoped “Union blood would be deep enough for his horse to swim in.” The men whose language about Lincoln and Grant, about Blaine or the wives of Union veterans was too vile to be printed, have found appointments from Mr. Cleveland, with one who personally insulted Mr. Blaine and another who insulted Gen. Logan, and two deserters from the Union army. There were living three, years ago, perhaps a dozen Rebels who had never sought removal of disabilities, and Mr. Cleveland selected three of these for foreign missions. . The same spirit selected rebels, deserters and revilers of Lincoln and Grant for officials of the pension service, with several men who robbed the Grand Army by false pretences. He who signed the order to restore captured Rebel flags has naturally ousted many Union veterans, some so disabled that they could with difficulty find other employment, to make room for party tools. If loyal veterans are offended, so decent citizens may well be by the appointment of blackguards, like Meiere and Button, notorious drunkards and “howling idiots.” When one foreign Minister.is on the point of being put off a train for intoxication, and another plays poker while receiving foreign diplomats, and a third is the “boss poker player” of his state, and a fourth becomes notorious by the death of his mistress in a vile den; when another at Rome refuses to dine with any Catholic clergyman, and one who, declares “Catholicism worse than paganism” is sent to Spain; when the minister to Columbia engages in a fistfight with his secretary; when Ministers to Peru, Chili and Venzuela represent private claims of a doubtful sort. Perhaps the worst feature of the sad record is the presistency with which men have been appointed after their bad character or unfitness had been exposed. Volumes of evidence were placed before the President, and afterward Higgins, Thomas and Resin were appointed. Beecher was put into three different offices which he disgraced Bancroft, rejected, for Collector, was made Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service. In several cases records of indictments for crime were sent to the President, as in that of Warner and the persons indicted were afterward appointed. Such is the Administration of President Cleveland as described by evidence drawn mainly from Democratic sources.

ADVANTAGES OF A HOME MARKET.

The (ull extent to which a well sustofnra 'home market contributes to the general advancement cannot be even approximately estimated without taking into consideration the increased facility with which purchases can be effected where industries are thoroughly diversified. Articles purchased near home can be paid for by the sale of either one of a large number of domestic products—many of them more readily obtained by the would-be purchaser than the few he will be able to exchange for articles purchased abroad. Imported products must be paid for chiefly in breadstuffs, meats and cotton, these being the American products wanted by the foreign seller. What cannot be thus purchased must be paid for in gold and silver. On the other hand, domestic products, in the interchanges of trade, can be pit id for in labor, professional service, farm produce, fruits, and any or all of a thousand products of the field, the mine, water or forest—many of them otherwise valueless. Thus it is found that even if the claim of the free trade advocates be true, that Protection makes the price of domestic articles higher when measured in dollars and cents, than would be similar articles purchased’ abroad, such-en-hancement is more than compensated by the greater convenience in purchasing, and the profits on the materials exchanged, to say nothing of values given to otherwise worthless articles. A man’s ability to buy depends more upon the price he can obtain for what he has to sell than upon the price of the article to be purchased. But the claim of higher prices for protected products has no foundation in fact. On the contrary, every day’s experience is full of its refutations, and brings added proofs that the tendency in prices of domestic products defended by tariff laws is steadily in favor of purchasers. Not a single tariff protected article is as high in price to-day as before the tariff . was laid; many are not half so dear as formerly; some of them not one quarter the price; -Strong as the case thus stands in favor of supplying the home market from home resources, there can be added an equally conclusive argument, urged by one whom Free Traders are quick toquote as an opponent of a protective policy. Adam Smith pointed out the fact that-tlie building up of domestic industries was coupled with the advantage of giving employment to two domestic capitals and two sets of citizen laborers, while the purchase of products manufactured abroad confines employment to the capital and labor represented in the domestic prpdocts given in exchange. > The labor cost of the foreign-made articles, as well as the profit on their production and sale, inure to the advantage of foreigners. These under the policy of protecting thejiome market are insured to ouFown citizens.

“REPUBLICAN” SPEAKS AGAIN.

Mr. Editor: By your kindness I will make a third report by way of review on a case of mild politicalJeprosy, affecting one of the editors of the Fowler Republican. The disease usually begins in personal malice towards one man, This malice spreads so as to mark for wrath the community, township, county, district, state or section where the object lives. The attack is relieved by causing the subject’s mind to revert to the original source of malice. That editor (?) seems to have had a crow to pick with some one not living in Benton county, and the lingering “ Confederate idea is sprouted in vigorous style of LOCAL LAUDATION. Four weeks ago came the positive assertion that “Benton county is justly entitled” to the district offices. No merit could, in that mind’s eye, blinded by a Confederate mote, be then seen beyond a county line. The words were in the present tense and measured with the strictness of a Pharisee. An antidote was given and a fortnight later the Confederate virus had a second discharge in this unique style of ' LOCAL DETRAfITION “Since the formation of the district Newton and Jasper has hogged the Judgeship. Senatorahip and Prosecutorship ” The counties of Jasper and Newton are charged with oppression and asked to “quit your meanness.” The word “has,” however, betrayed the unit origin of the Confederate infection. A farther healing potion was administered, and last week the Confederate pus sack was drained in the form of PERSONAL PROSCRIPTION. “Simon wants to ‘agitate’ but not ‘proscribe.’ Proscription in his indi-

vidual case is what is needed, A ‘merfe geographical line changes neither the tea or heart of a tr&e Republican/ but it is a demonstrated .fact that to avoid the loss of a legislative seat -some true’ Republicans are, and have been, willing to forsake principle and friends to gratify ambition for place. Benedict Arnold was just such a man. We want men who are not afraid to defend the principles of the party who places them in power.” - The circle is complete, commencing aud ending in personal hate. The subject is himself again, and with the object Iff his wrath we do not wish to meddle. The dogma of “county rights” is near of kin to the right of Confederate secession by states. Let us so build our nominating conventions that each voter may individually, equally and easily have or help make a membership in the nominating jury. The “true Republican idea” differs from the Confederate idea, and that difference should be emphasized in transacting party business. Proscribe Confederate phrases and conduct, but not localities. Agitate, but do not pioscribe Re-

publicanism.
