The bill for a worlds—fair, in Chicago, as amended by the Senate, was passed by theJHouse Tuesday. The President, will sign it in a day or two, and the greatest show of the age, and right at our v ery doors, will then be a fixed fact, The democrats are falsely accusing Hon. W. D. Owen of haying dodged voting on the dependent pension bill, when it unexpectedly came up, one day last week. Mr. Owen was in New York city, at the head of his committee, doing the work Congress had directed him to do, in unearthing' the democratic rottenness connected with foreign immigration, and their false charges of dodging will do them no good. Mr. Owen never misses an opportunity to vote right on the pension question, nor any other question, for that matter.

It Lets us In.

There is a prospect that congress will pass a bill providing for the construction by the government at a great many of the small towns and. cities of the country of buildings for the post-offices. The House committee on post-of-fices and post-roads has authorized its chairman to .report sjich a measure. It authorizes the Post-master-general to construct, at his 1 discretion, buildings at any place i where the gross receipts for two 1 years or more preceeding, exceed $3,000, or $2,500 in county seats. This last provision will admit Rensselaer, “by a bare majority,” for the gross receipts of our postoffice last year were $2598.60 and for the year before $2512.35. This year they will continue to increase. The Indianapolis Journal publishes a list of some sixty of the towns of this state which will come in under this law but it unacountably leaves out Rensselaer, a mistake which we hope to see corrected. The only towns mentioned I by the Journal, situated in the Tenth congressional district, are Delphi, Hammond, Logansport, Rochester and Valparaiso. Tlie list of announcements of candidates continues to show a | healthy growth ;severalnev, names | being added this week. The new men as well as the old, are all good and deserving men, and we only wish that the nature of things were such that none of them mu&t lie” disapppiomfed in their aspirations. As that can not be, however, we can, at least, comfort ourselves with the reflection that, as we firmly believe, there is not a , .man. am o ng stor jiaffSTs to be among the un - lucky' majority of the defeated, know liow to accept the defeat m a manly, philosophical and sensible way. A man who does not possess that knowledge ought never, in fact, to seek a political office.

How Farmers are Cared For.

An interesting aspect of the tariff controversy is to the effect of Protection upon the farmer and agricultural workman who have all along been the objects of special solicitude with free trade attorneys, from Mongredien of the Cobden Club to the little captain of “reform” in the obscure town meeting. Farmers are urged to believe that their interests were p urposely ignored in the preparation of our tariff laws, while in fact agriculture has been neither overlooked nor discriminated against. Quite as many products of the farm are enumerated in the tariff schedules as of any other single industry. All the cereals, vegetables, meats, wood, products of the dairy and orchard are defended by duties ranging from ten to fifty per cent of their value. And the “reformer” who argues through all the other schedules that the price of the domestic product is materially enhanced by a tariff on competing foreign products, only stultifies himself in contending that the farmer gets no benefit from the tariff of 20 cents a bushel on foreign grown wheat, and half as much on oats and barley raised across the Canadian border and sold in the Unit- * " ' k ' - -•

ed States.. The 20 per cent tariff Collected on an importation .of $4,000,000 value of live animals in the last fiscal year was to that extent as complete a protection as the tariff on silks or any other product of foreign'manufacture. Further proof that the farmer .has not been discriminated, against in national legislation is to be found in our homestead law. Under this law any citizen who will occupy and improve the land is given a tract of 80 to 160 acres, according to location, upon the mere payment of fees for survey and record of patent. No equally liberal tre atm eh t has been accorded to any other industry. And it may be well to remember that this policy of giving homes to farmers found vigorous opponents among the same class of philanthropists who are now working for the untaxed admission of farm products raised in foreign countries. It is quite safe to class all turifl’reform wailing over alleged unjust" discrimination against the farmer, with the equally hollow pretense that the house-building trades command relatively higher wages because they are not enumerated in the tariff schedules.

Keeping the Party Pledge.

The words of Speaker Reed in Philadelphia, to the effect that the Republican congress is doing its utmost to keep every pledge which the national convention made to the people in 1888, must be regarded by all candid men who have read them as the siucer9 expressions of a man who, by his character and reputation, as well as by his official position, has a right to speak for his party in congress. All men who will candidly compare the line of action which congrees is pursuing with the text of the platform of the last national convention will be impressed with the truthfulness of the Speaker’s statements. The gieat difficulty with many individuals is that they assume that what they believe to be important and necessary is all there is, and they naturally denounce any action that does not come up to their requirements. Because this-is the case much .inconsiderate and, happily, entirely ineffective criticism is made. With these critics congress is doing nothing because it does not enact a law that they desire. It is not meeting the demands of the people because it does not meet their individual demand. it would be useless to argue with such men, lrwtwever honest, because the lionxen which .-shuts kr-their Tisiorrig~ all the world they know, and their own views are infallible. But a congress representing a largo country cannot be judged by such narrow tests. Its acts, its efforts and its general the criterion -by which it can be jndgetfr~ ; Wheftier or not it. is faithful to the pledges which the majority party to which “if belongs made to the country can be determined by comparing : its acts and measures with those pledges, not as the riinter or the ; political opponent declare them, but as they are printed. When the house met in December the Republican majority found itself confronted with a large minority, determined to prevent it from carrying out its pledges by resorting to revolutionary methods At the outset it found itself obstructed in determining the membership of the house by the device known as as quorum-breaking and and filibustering. With a courage that has never been surpassed in a legislative body, and with a unity that a party rarely attains in aggressive action, the Republicans adopted a policy which has restored to the house its functions as a legislative body. It can now legislate. It has passed a bill which provides for such an enforcement of the revenue laws as will put an end to many frauds; it has passed several appropriation bills and would have passed a more liberal disability service pension bill than than the Republican national platform promised but for the Democrats; its ways and means committee has prepared a tariff bill in accordance with the expressed views of the Republican party, which with a few changes, will pass; its financial* anti-trust and like measures in both houses are in aucordance with the party pledge. There are differences of opinion upon points, but these have been and are being harmonized. When the tariff bill, after consideration in committee of the whole, reaches the house nearly every Republican will vote for it. In fact, the Republicars'in both branches are in general accord, and are animated with a desire to keep the party • *

faith and satisfy the general sen- 1 timet:r <4 the progressive >?.nd inintelligent people in the. country,, particularly those who are in gen-* eral }:(*e<ud with the Republican policy as set forth in the last national pfivt form.- -Indianapolis Journal. . - 4

ISest Tiling lie Ever !*aw. The following is an extract from rartettev written by Mr. D. A. Reynolds, editor and proprietor of the Herald, Lyons, Mich., under date of January 11th, 1890: “You .will observe that I have given your advertisement position on the first page of the Herald, while other proprietary medicines have had to take the run of the paper. The reason for doing this is, that upon re coifing your “copy” a number of the cures affected seemed similar to that of which my little son was suffering, a ease of blood poison, or irritable sores-breaking out nil over hid body, Tu-drtv fie' is entirely free from disease, and one bottle of Swift’s Specific (S, S. S.) did the work. Now this is the reason for giving you the position, as I consider Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) the best medicine I ever saw. I wish you success in your business.” The above is a sample of letters which are coming to us all the time. S. S. S. is nearer infallible than any remedy made, and has probably done more good than any medicine known to mankind. We will mail a Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases to all who will send their address. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga
