CARNEGIE will deliver an address at the commencement of the Pennsylvania Agricultural State college, July 1, on “The American’s Heritage.” The Philadelphia Record says that he need go no farther than his own book, “Triumphant Democracy,” for the sub- Ject matter of his theme. Any one who has read that volume, which is chock full of meat, will agree with the Record. AGITATORS for the autonomy of Cuba have taken a “‘pointer” from the home- rule efforts of Mr. Parnell, and are de- manding of Spain a more liberal recog- nition of the right of the Cuban people to manage their own affuirs. The effect of the agitation has been to secure Ppromises of a fair and liberal policy of commercial and political reforms. Un- questionably Cuba cun present a case hardly less worthy of consideration than is that of Ireland. Wiy the manufacturers of cigars and oigarottes should desire to advertise their goods by means of flash pictures of an indecent character is something that the virtuous public cannot understand. Nenrly every cigar is now *‘decorated’ with pictures of this character which ought not to be tolerated. Itis encour- aging to know, however, that a move- ment against indecent advertising has at last been started, and the society for the suppression of vice, having its head- quarters in New York, will probably in- augurate a* vigorous warfare in every ity of the country against suchjimmoral advertising. Ir was Marshal Culumings of Omaha who hrst inaugurated the warfare upon the “Mother Hubbard,” which has since spread to nearly every city in the coun- try. The last chief of police to dis- tinguish himself in this way is Speers of Kansas City. He has issued an order that ‘‘Mother Hubbards" shall be kept off the streets. “It scems,” says the Kansas City Zimes, “to haye been tacitly understood all around that a belt or a wlose fitting waist should be an essential feature of the legal feminine apparel, | Why the police should take this stand - _and not attack also'the tell-tale pullback skirts is what the Kansas City social solence olub will shortly ask Chief Speers to explain, Merely as & single question At Is not of such penetrating importunce, ‘but as leading up to the thrilling general of police regulation of womankind's oies, it 18 well worth a few weeks of munion between Mr. Speers and the science club. .

No unprejudiced person who has read attentively the manifestoes and of Mr. Gladstone and of the aders of the opposition can have failed to be impressed by the very striking contrast thete is in their tone and tem per—a contrast not less marked and con spicnous than the superior verbal purity and rhetorical finish which so pre-emi nently distinguish the productions of the nder as to entitle them to a place among English claseics. utterance of Mr. Gladstone is terized by that ealmness, modera tion and dignity which should mark the discussion of a great national question that appeals to the reason and the sense of justice of the people Presenting in his manifesto, with plain and simple directness, the merits of the and making the aiternatives in volved so clear to the apprehension that the least intelligent among the voters of Great Britian could not fail to under stand them, in nothing that he has since said has he in the slightest degree de- parted from the simple and explicit text which he sont out ten days ago to his Midlothian constituents, He has been most caretul not to allow the clearly de- fined issue of the campaign to be hidden or befogged for a moment by any discus. sion ot details, holding the popular mind up to the contemplation solely of the question whethor imperial power shall continue to exact a coerced obedicnce from [reland, with all that such a condi- tion implies of oppression, hatred, law- lessness and the perpetuation of deadly fouds, or the Irish people shall be per mitted to manage their own affairs and be as justly and fairly dealt with as are the wpeople ‘of the other dependencies of the nation, with the as- surance of results politically, morally and materially advantageous to the em- pire. Nothing could be more admirable than the spirit and the sentiment which distingui the arguments of Mr. Glad- stone in support of his great cause. Very different are the appeals of the leaders of the opposition, from Salisbury to Churchill. The distinguished leader of tho tories has essayed both ridicule and abuse, and having set the example has been surpassed in both by his apt and readysatellite. ‘The mamfesto of Church- ill is an almost brutal piece of vitupera- tion, and if there is any sense of fairness left among Englishmen ought to drive thousands of them trom the support of a cause that requires such a defense and is championed by such an advocate. But if Churchill has gone a little beyond all the other leaders of the opposition to home rule in abuse of Mr. Gladstone and 1n appeal- ing to the passions and the fears of the peoble, it is simply because he is more bold and reckless than any of his col- leagues, and not because he feels any more strongly than they the sentiments he utters. Salisbury is not less bitter than Churchill, but he is far less cour- ageous, 1t is impossible that Englishmen who are not hopelessly fettered by traditional prejudice or strong personal interests can fail to be impressed by the wide dif- ference there is in the elevated charac- ter of Mr. Gladstone’s advocacy of his cause and the bad temper of the appeals of the tory leaders, nor can it be doubt- ful what the effect of such an impression must be in determining the action of those voters who are accessible to its in- fluence. Private Pension Bills. The president has just been making liberal, and for the most part entirely commendable, use of the veto power. He returned to congress Monday, with his disapproval, fifteen bills, thirteen of which were private pension bills. In re- lation to these pension measures, the president observes that he is so thor- oughly tired of disapproving gifts of public money to indiyiduals who, in his opinion, have no right or claim to it, that ho interposes with a feeling of relief in where he finds it unnecessary to de- termine the merits of the application, He also states afact not generally known to the country, that a large provor- tion of the bills making promiscuocus and ill-advised grants of pensions had never been submitted to a majority of either branch of congress, “‘but are the result of nominal sessions, held for the express purpose of their consideration and attended by a small majority of the members of the respective houses of the legislative branch of the government.” In other words the practice inferentiall) is for those congressmen who are inter- ested in these private pension bills to muster as occasion may require in sufli- cient force to pass them, the mutual un- derstanding being to dispense with in- quiry and discussion as to their merits. Looking casually over a lute issue of the Congressional Record we noted no fower than thirty-eight bills introduced in a single day providing tor the grant- ing of pensions or increase of pensions. Perhaps this may have been an exce| tional day in the introduction of this class of measures, but no day of the ses- sion pusses without the presentation of bills of this character, many of which have not the slightest foundation of right or just claim to rest upon. For obvious reasons a grveat number of these grants have in the past been allowed almost without a question, and now constitute n very considerable part of the heavy annual charge which the pension bureau makes upon the government—a charge which any other people than those of the United States would regard as a very sovi- ous burden, and the increase of which even this most generous people will no longer regard with complacency or indifferenco. No citizen will demur to making just and generous provision for the defenders of the union and their posterity, but as the president justly sa; 'Heedlessness and disregard of the principle which under- lies the granting of pensions is unfair to the wounded, erippled soldier who is hon- ored in just recogunition by his govern- ment,"” and who should mever find him- selt side by side on the pension roli “with those who have been tempted to attribute the natural ills to which humanity is heir to service in the army.” It is manifestly time that greater care and a closer in- quiry were exercised with respect to al- leged cluims for peusious, to the ond that this enormous draft upon the public treasury shall not be enlarged by nuwar- rauted demands. There is need that a vigorous check be put wupon the industry of claim ageats the willingness of congressmen to vote away the public money to individuals who can make out, with the help of an astute attorney, a plausible | cage. There is a popular belief, evidently shared by the president, that there are few of the defenders of the union or their heirs who could present a just elaim upon the beneficence of the nation that have not been provided for, and the people will approve the action of the president in vetoing the private pension bills which he had reason to believe were not sup- ported by a just claim to favorable con sideration, thus notifying congress that its loose practice in this direction could no longer be assured of executive countenance Evwix P. Wairrre, the well known essayist, is dead. For many years he had held a prominent position in Boston literary circles. His brilliant essay upon Macaulay in 1843 first brought him into general public notice. This review was highly complimented by Macaulay on account of its high literary style. His other ess. and contributions to litera- ture generally attracted general attention upon their appearance, and many of them still hold high place in the estcem of careful and thoughtful readers. In speaking of Mr. Whipple the Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: ‘‘It is honor enough to say that in his prime Mr. Whipple was in good demand before the andiences which listened to Kmerson and to Dr. Holmes. He was contemporary with the remarkablé group of literateurs now falling by the way, knew them all, and enjoyed and contributed to their so- ciety. His talent was not eqnal to theirs, but it was his own, gave him a respect- aple place in their midst, and was exer- cised like theirs to lift the people up to the great moral and political evolution which the last half of his life has wit- nessed. ver did a school of essayists, lecturers, pocts, novelists and preachers turn the earth upon a revolution so mightily as did these men, and to the rreat end of freedom Mr. Whipple also labored. Achievement of that end, and the rise of a new school of literature, with different moral purposes, if any at all, has hurried the world along, and it is doubtful if Mr. Whipple will leave much which will be read in the future.” AMONG the immigrants which come to the United States there is no classs more acceptable, and none which contributes more by its industry and thrift to the general prosperity, than the sturdy peo- ple from the north of Europe included in the generie name of Scandinavians, It is stated that for a number of ye vast the annual flow of these people to Amer- ica has reached from nearly all of whom have found homes in the northwestern states. Minnesota has received a liberal shave of these people, as have also fowa, Kunsas and Dakota, while according to the census of 1880 Nebraska had 10,164 Swedes, 2,010 Ner- wegians, and 4,511 Danes. past six years the population of Nebraska has been very largely augmented from this source, probably no other city in the country of no greater population having au present so many Seandinavians among its residents as Omaha has. These peo- ple are in every respect a most desirable and worthy clement of the population, being not only industrious, prudent and law-respecting, but having an intuitive love of free institutions which renders them politically the best ot citizens. Ac- cretions to our population from this source are always safe and to be heartily welcomed. E——— Tre United States senate has given very positive notification to the demo- cratic opponents of civil service reform that they may as well abandon for the present all hope of destroying the law, whatever they may be able to accomplish by way of crippling or embarrassing its operation, When the bill of Senator Vance, to repeal the civil service act, came up a few days ago a motion for its indefinite postponement prevailed by a heavy majority, including eight demo- crats. It maybe noted also in this con- nection that a report from Washington states that since his return from India Mr. Holman, who joined with Randall in an effort to nullify the civil service law by putting a rideron the legislative ap- propriation bill,has experienced a change of heart on this subject and will probably desert the anti-reform element, The un- happy condition of the democracy re- rding this and other reforms is an in- teresting spectacle, if not an edifying study. Ir is understood that the annual fight on the Fitz John Porter bill will be re- newed in the senate on vext Thursday, and accompanying the announcement is the quite comforting assurance that Mr. Logan has ‘“‘boiled down'' his usual three days' speech into one that will consume only a few hours, while other senators having exhausted themselves on the sub- ject will have nothing to say. Congress, in common with the people of the coun- try, is heartily tired of the controvesy, and there is most favorable promise that it will be finally disposed of at the pres- ent session by restoring Porter to the army, an act of justice that has been most unwarrantably delayed.

He has retained his hold upon his people in a manner rarely enjoyed by any other public man. Congressman Dunn, of the First Arkansas district, has notified his constituents that he ‘wants a re-election,but that he shall continue at his post in the house and trust to their “chivalric sense of justice ana fair play” to keep his fences in order. Senator Hawley claims that the senate has initiated all the important legislation this session, and that the house does not even at- tend to the business sent’ from the senate. ‘I'his important legiskition' which the senate has originated must bé the Blair educational and pension schemes designed to bankrupt the treasury. According to the Washington Hatchet, it is the habit of congressmen to get up a reputa- tion for vast information By stealing table and extracts by the yard. There Is vory lit- tle original ability in eitheér body. It may be seriously doubted Whether one-tenth of the members have a clear understanding of even the most frequently discussed issues of political economy which occur before that body. A gentleman who has investigated the subject gives some figures relative tothe re- ligious complexion of the present congress. which he says are reliable. Of the 408 sena- tors, members and territorial delegates who compose congress 73 are Methodists, 63 Bap- tists, 41 Episcopalians, 37 Presbyterians, 38 Catholics,15 Unitarians,8 Lutherans, 10 Chris- tians (Campbellites) and 2 Quakers, making a total of 283 who are actively connected with some church-organization. This leaves 125 who either never belonged to any church or have drifted out of such associations. It would appear from these figures that congress is a pretty good misslonary ground. Regarding Senator Kenna's reluctant ac- ceptance of the championship of the demo- cratic congressional campaign committee, the New York Sun says: Senator Kenna isa capable and shrewd politician; and, more- over, his ideas are thoroughty democratic, There is no civil-service reform nonsense about him, and he believes in giving the oftices to demoerates only. Perhaps he would have been more willing to act as chairman of the congress committee if he felt that the democratic workers i the various congre: districts were likely to work in the next col gress elections with as much vigor as it their efforts were sure of appreciation and reward by the administration.

If the growers were really benofited by the duty and obtained the 10 conts per pound themselves, there would not be so much objection to the tax; but they do not get the 10 cents. 1t is doubtful if, i the long run, they get even so much as cent. It is something like some of the money raised in the name of charity, that is only suflicient to pay the agents and other’ expenses In the opmion of those best eonvers ant with the trade, wool has not ruled higher the past vears, and is not so high v now as it would have been free from duty.

So would the Cobden club of to-day the reduction of the tariff, so exult in that this country could be flooded cheap labor products of Europe. To-day the —republican party, true to the traditions handed down to posterity by the fathers of the republic, from the time of the immortal Washington to that of Blaine, the statesman still uphold the principles of protection to American in- dustry. What is wanted now is not a reduction of tariff, but protection to American labor, Henceforth strictly prohibit the im- ‘)ormlion by any methods of cheap oreign labor; cause a tax to be levied upon all labor coming into the United States, also that all )}J]ersone coming into this country shall have as much money as will nu&;port them for six months. That would protect us against the governments of Europe sending their paupers here to glut the labor market. Our men here in such organizations as the K. of L. have advocated the reduction of the hours of labor so as to give em- ployment to some of the thousands of in- dustrious men of work,but what will their sacrifice avail them if foreign govern- ments are allowed to dump their surplus population on our shores? It cannot go on. We must protect home labor. It must not_be a one-sided protection any longer. Labor is entitled to the same protection given to capital. In cvery period of our country's Lis- tory, when protection principles were departed from, depression and general bankruptey followed. Permit meto refer Mr. Morton to the compromise act of 1833, which was in reality an abandonment of the ]xwr(nclple of protection, which brought in its wake commercial disaster from 1837 to 1842, when the country had to return to nigh protection principles, which restored prosperity to the peoplo. History proves that protection fills the coffers of the treasury. Democrats, when in power, always adyocated a pu]lc¥ of free trade, which has been, as it wonld be now, de- structive of the prosperity we now enjoy, In the past their reason was asit 1s to-day, that the revenue is in excess of government expenses; in other words, a tariff for revenue onl‘y’ The experience of the past scems of no benefit to the party; they would allow the specio to be given in exchange for foreign manufactured goods, which would result in leaving our Citizens without employment, Manutacturing competition and the rivalry ot traders will secure to the con- suming masses goods as cheap us it is possible to produce them. It scems to e that Mr. Morton falls into the popular error that it is only the manufacturers that are protected. He seems to tnink that farmers have no pro- tection. Mr. Editor, althongh I have extended this letter longer than 1 intended, allow me to state, for the information of the gentleman who thinks that the agricul- tural west has no protection against for- eign computition, to quote a few of the import duties on agricultural products: Timber, spars and piles, 20 per vent; oranges, per box, 25 cents; tobiccos, per Im“ml' o §1; flour, 20 per cent; tin- ber, square and sided, per 1,000 feet, $10; wool, per pound, 6 cents; live aniwals, 30 per cent; hay, per ton, $2; honey, per gallon, 20 cents; butter and o 0, 4 Cents per pound; oorn, 21 per cent; milk, 20 per cent; oats, 25 per cent; potatoes, per bushel, 16 cents; wheat, 21 per cent; other vegetables, 30 per cent; butter 20 per cent; cheese, 40 per vent; hops, 80 per cent. rom the above the experimental tariff reformers will find out that our furmers will not allow & reduction of taril’ thut would allow the farm products of Rus- sia and India to compete, duty free, with American produce in our hone niurkets, Thinking Mr. Morton might go unan- swered, I have hastily collected a few facts that may enlighten some of our citizens who have not studied the ques- tion from a practical standpoint.

Special dispatch to the Globe-Demo- erat from Fort Worth: A judge and jury in a Texas district court have found a man guity of stealing his own horse, and sent him to the penitentiary for twelve years. It is a most remarkable case. L. W.Owensis a wealthy citizen of Erath county. He has a spledid repu- tation for integrity in his community. In 1855 he branded a mare colt out of a mare belonging to him and tarned it out on the range. Owens camo to Fort Worth and remained for some time here on business. While away one W, H. Bosey saw the colt and took 1t up as his property. Owens returned, and finding his colt in Bosey's hands, demanded pos- session of the animal. Bosey refused to ive it up, saying the aniibal was his.
