EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 1886.
DEAR GAzam:—-The opening of the
present congress was unusually quiet and
uneventful. Perhaps the best commentary
on the president’s message that can be
given is the fact that no message for many
years has been received with so much ap—
parent lack of interest and impatience in
both houses of congress as the quite long
document of Mr. Cleveland’s. The un-
easiness to have its reading finished was
more conspicuous on the democratic than
on the republican sides of the respective
chambers. His position, or rather lack of
exact position, on the tariff question was
deemed anything but happily done. Mr.
Cleveland is not a success as a “straddler”
on any question. His mental and physical
methods are entirely too clumsy. But as
his tariff disquisition in the message has
infused new joy and exhilaration into the
hearts of free-traders, it may be set down
as of the national democratic platform
order of conviction as to protection to
American workingmen and industries,
i. e., “now you see it, and now you don’t
see it." Senators Morrill, of Vermont,
and Sherman, of Ohio, delivered able and
convincing arguments, Thursday, why
the tariff should be maintained. Senator
Blair distinguished :himself and made
good and venerable Susan B. Anthony,
who sat smiling behind her huge gold
spectacles while in the senate gallery, very
happy indeed by an elaborate speech in
favor of woman suffrage. Thursday even-
ing the senate adjourned over to Monday.
In the house last session‘s “steering
committee” bobbed up serenely and es.
sayed to propel the legislative wheel, but
instead of securing greatest velocity last
session it so muddled and delayed matters
before the house, that its record will kill
it for any usefulness at the present session.
The most interesting bill, to our readers,
thus far introduced in the senate was that
by Mr. Evarts, giving the government con-
sent for the erection of a bridge across
the upper end of Blackwell's Island, con-
necting the city of New York with its
Long Island suburbs. It is to have an
elevation of 155 feet, sufi‘lcient to clear
the tallest masts, and 25 feet more than
the present bridge to Brooklyn. In other
respects the plans carefully avoid inter.
ference with navigation, and this purpose
is facilitated by the heighth of the ground,
75 feet above the tide water mark, from
which the arch from the New York side
will spring. It is proposed to commence
its construction in the spring, and push it
to the earliest possible completion.
In the house the post office committee
have perfected a bill and will try to have
it passed, giving letter carriers to all towns
of 10,000 population,and where the postal
revenues amount to $10,000 per year.
The house then took up the electoral
count bill, which, it is thought, will be-
come a law at this session.
Representative Bayne says he does not
think there will be any legislation beyond
the passage of the appropriation bills this
session. He thinks the tariff legislation,
whatever there is of it, will be enacted by
the 50th congress. He says it will prob-
ably consist of repealing the tax on domes-
tic tobacco, and the duty on sugar. This
would reduce the revenue of the govern-
ment about $78,000,000.
The book of estimates of appropriations
required for the fiscal year endingJune 30,
1888, foot up for all expenses of the gov-
ernment $325,185,749, which is $14,403,759
less than the sum called for in the esti-
mates submitted last year, and $3,272,691
less than the aggregate of appropriations
for the present fiscal ,year. There is an
increase of about $4,000,000 for public
works, about $3,000,000 for the naval
establishment, about $1,000,000 for the
military, and about $1,000,000 for the
postal‘ service establishment. Tne in-
crease in the other items is small. In-
cluded in the estimates is one of $4,500
for salary of an assistant secretary of war.
No estimate is submitted for an assistant
secretary of the navy. The estimates for
public buildings under the treasury de-
partment amount to $3,444,014. An esti-
mate of $500,000 is made for continuing
work on the congressional library build-
ing. The estimates for river and harbor
improvements aggregate $30,281,749.
Mr. Jeff Chandler, of the government
counsel in the Bell telepone suit, says that
the government counsel will not appeal
the case to the supreme court, but will
carry the suit as early as possible to Bus-r
ton for trial. We would spend two years
before the U. S. supreme court to stand
just where we stand now; so that it has
been deemed advisable to take the case to
Boston.
The court of claims :last May decided
favorably to the claimants the general
principles applicable to French spoliation
claims Since then the government has
moved for a rehearing, and arguments on
this motion have been going onzfor some
two weeks. The court has again decided
the motion against the government. The
general principles decided in May are re-
afilrmcd, and the court considers in detail
other points, holding that a vessel could
not be condemned on the single ground
that her crew did not conform to French
laws ; that the decision of prize courts
are not binding on the political depart-
ments of foreign governments; that an
appeal to the court of last resort in France
was not necessary to the validity of the
spoliation claims, because such an appeal
would have been useless or impracticable,
and because France did not require it as a
condition precedent to a recovery of in-
demnity. The opinion discusses the law
of nations as applied to neutral rights,
and holds generally, while reserving par.
ticular cases for discussion upon their in,
dividualmerits,that the conduct of France
toward American commerce prior to 1800
was illegal.
The house adjourned Friday almost as
soon as convened, because of the death of
Congressman Dowdney, which occurred
in New York that morning. The death
roll of this congress is without precedent.
Generals Sherman and Sheriden met the
E. A. Paul Grand Army Post at the White'
House Friday. The Post had dedicated a
monument at Arlington in honor of Gen.
Paul, who was a valiant regular army
oflcer, and the father of Colonel Paul,
who boarded several summers since with
Mrs. Wm. B. Swan on Main street. Gen.
Sherman expects to visit his brother here,
the senator, forsevcral dayq. and will then
return to New-York and pass the winter
at the Fifth avenue hotel. He and Mrs.
S. came east to be near their youngest son
who is at school in New York.
The pension» agency in this city has
during the past week'paid 19,794 pension-
ers,1,501 of whom were paid in person on
the 4th inst. ; $727,563.31 were disbursed
in making these payments. There are
6,200 pensioners to be paid by this agency
during the remainder of the present month.
"Lincoln Hall”, was entirely burned
down Sunday morning week.
This week the Baltimore & Ohio rail.
road will'complcte its connection in Phila~
_ delphia, and another through trunk line
from the seaboard to the west will be
running over the lines. An attempt will
be made to reduce the time between this
city, Philadelphia and New York.
The necessity for some legislation to
prevent the contraction of currency, makes
it a matter of serious consideration among
members of congress. There is such a
diversity of opinion, however, that the
prospect of action is not bright. The
treasury department is pressing the matter
and the committee on banking and cur.
rency is anxious to come to an aglee-
ment upon some measure. The members
of the committee have consulted and come
to the determination that they will do
everything in their power to avert con-
traction. On Wednesday there will be a
meeting of the committee, and Controller
of the Currency Trenliolm has been invited
to give them the benefit of his counsel.
axraxsrva PROPAGATION or sum.
The following summary of the propaga-
tion and distribution of shad during 1886
is from a forthcoming bulletin of the
United States Fish Commission. The total
distribution of shad fry for the season of
1886, aggregates over 90,000,000. As the
entire number of shad taken for market
is something less than 6,000,000, it will be
seen that for every shad taken from the
waters this season for market 15 young
shad have been artificially hatched and
returned. The entire cost of production
and distribution has been less than $20,-
000, and, therefore, the young fish have
been produced and distributed over the
entire United States at the cost of $215
f0r1.000,000, or 46 young fish for each
cent of expenditure. Another interesting
fact to note is that for the entire time up
to and including 1882 there were pro-
duced by artificial propagation only 200,-
000,000. The following is a statement of
how the shed have been distributed dur-
ing the season of 1886, arranged by river
basins :- Tributaries of Narragansett Bay,
2,534,000; tributaries of Long Island
Sound, 749,000; Hudson River, 2,312,000;
Delaware River, 21,618,000; tributaries of
Chesapeake Bay, 52,560,000; tributaries
of Albermarle Sound, 1,990,000; streams
draining into the South Atlantic, 4,188,-
000; Mississippi River and tributaries,
4,750,000; ColumbiaRiver, 850,000; total,
92,204,000.
mon.
A great deal of interest is felt by our
public 'men here in the forthcoming re-’
ports of the special committee on labor,
and the whole labor question now agitat-
ing and disturbing the industrial interests
of the country. Especial interest has been
taken in the recent developments going to
show that a widely disseminated organi-
zationamong workingmen is being pushed
throughout the country under the name of
“The National Tariff association." It is
claimed by prominent workingmen, hith-
erto attached to the two leading political
parties, that by the time of the presiden-
tial election of 1888, thousands of clubs
will be in existence in the north and five
southern states. The organization was
started in Tennessee, Georgia and Ala-
bama. State organizers were appointed.
The work is still going on, and will be
continued till the next presidential fight is
ended. In the coming year organizations
will be placed in the states of Virginia
and West Virginia.
The special committee tojnvestigate the
strikes in the southwest held a meeting
and adopted a resolution: “That notice
be given to the parties in interest that this
committee will hold an adjourned meeting
at Washington, on the 3d day of January,
at 10 a. m , at which time any proper ad-
ditional evidence offered relating to the
matters under investigation will be re-
ceived, and also that any party interested
shall be allowed to place on file with this
committee such briefs as such party shall
see fit."
PERSONALS.
William E. Scelcy, of Bridgeport, Judge
Deming, Collector Troup and Charles
Wheeden, of New Haven, were here. last
week.
Mrs. Cleveland has returned to Wash-
ington and resumed her drives and visits
to “the farm.” The president has recov-
ered from his illness from rheumatism so
far as to be able to move about the house,
but there will be no public gayeties at the
White House until after January 151.
Mrs. Platt, of Connecticut, is with
Senator Platt at the Arlington, but being
in mouming for her mother, Mrs. Bull,
who died in August last, she will not be at
home on Thursdays of the season. She
has been suffering from a cold and pros-
tration since her arrival here.
Kate Field. gives her lecture on Mor-
monism here, on Wednesday evening, at
the Congregational church. “Sunset"
Cox is to introduce her to the audience.

That Big Secret
The great secret now known as the Wil-
son-Moen mystery, is apparently a secret
yet. The great question is, what was the
compromising secret which old Moen paid
young Wilson $250,000 to keep quiet?
Wilson says it was the fact that he was
Moen’s illegitimate son. Moon says it is
false, and others, evidently in position to
know, assert that the story is without
foundation. However, as Wilson was
smart enough and wise enough to bleed
the old gentleman to the tune of a quarter
of a million dollars, he maybewise enough
to be classed with that exceptionally
“wise child who knowcth his own father.”
If, however, as seems to be the case, Wil-
son’s story is untrue and the awful secret
is yet undivulged, what a strike some
wide awake reporter could make by gain-
ing Wilson’s confidence and pumping it
out of him. Possibly his secret, which
Moen has already paid a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars to keep from the world,
might show him to be the man who struck
Billy Patterson. 0r perchance he is the
author of Beautiful Snow; or the inventor
of the chestnut bell.

The Judlreshlp.
The Bridgeport Standard brings out
Judge A. B. Beers of that city, as a can-
didate for the to be vacant J udgeship,
and says: “1f the locality argument is to
weigh, surely Bridgeport has claim equal to
that of any of her smaller sister cities.”
Certainly, and that claim is implied in the
comparison—Bridgrport is larger and
ought to have her way. That inherent
yearning to possess the earth and the fnl-
ness thereof cannot bekept from asserting
itself. But we opine that Bridgeport will
have to be content with what she has good
reason to be proud of—one Judge, His
Honor S. B. Beardsley, on the superior
court bench. Judge Beers is undoubted-
ly capable and qualified, but he can ren-
der better service by staying in the city
court and relieving his “curate,” Deputy
Judge Doten, when the latter’s heart
weakens, and he fails to “let the punish-
ment fit the crime.”

Church Dissension.
There is a row in the Congregational
church in Willimantic. The pastor, Rev.
S. R. Frcc, preaches a theory which istoo
Free to suit some of the strict orthodox
pillars, and a church meeting was called
a few days ago to act upon a resolution to
dismiss the pastor. The meeting was a
warm one, the assembled saints pitching
into the contest with a zeal worthy a more
worldly minded assemblage, and a vote
resulted 49 to 47, against the minister.
The societyis divided on the question and
the feeling is intense. The society proper
will have to act upon the question of dismis-
sal before a formal release can be issued,
and whichever way the cat jumps there-is
going to be music. What the nature of Mr,
Free’s objectionable theology is, deponent
sayeth not. But the theme and burden of
future teaching in that church should be
charity and brotherly love.

Beauty in Architecture.
If that man is a public benefactor who
makes two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before, what shall be said
of the men who devote their lives and
talents to dotting our country over with
tasteful and beautiful houses and homes
for our people, as has been and is con-
stantly being done by “The Co-Operative
Building Plan association,” of 191 Broad.
way, New York. They have just issued
No. 3 of “Shoppell’s Modern Houses,” 3
volume which contains all that is richest
and best to be illustrated in house arehi.
teeture since their previous volumes, Nos.
1 and 2, were issued. These books are
but $1 per volume, and are worth ten
times that to the carpender and builder or
anyone contemplating the erection of a

Another Startling Railroad Rumor.
Railroad rumors are thicker than the
sands of the sea-shore once more, and
their actual value is about as great, we
should judge. Still they are not uninterest-
ing, and we give some of them as.thcy
reach us, without vouching for their au-
thenticity. It is said that the old common
stock of the Housatonic road, stock worth
nothing, save t) vote upon at the annual
meetings, has been picked up by certain-
parties connected with a Montreal railroad
combination which has heretofore used
the Vermont Central and New. London
Northern as an outlet, striking tide water
at East New London, and this combina-
tion proposes to charge its tide water con-
nection, using the ousatomc and Dan-
bury road to Wilson’s Point. To obtain
control of this connection, the “old com-
mon stock” aforesaid, of the Housatonic
railroad, has been picked up andaggrega-
ted in the proper hands, till it will at the
next meeting place the holders in control
of the Housatonic, unless some other
movement is made to head off the accom-
plishment of this design. It is said that
parties in Bridgeport, among them an ex-
President of the Consolidated road, held a
controlling amount of this “ common
stock" till recently. when they parted
with enough of it, at a tempting advance
in price, to lose their control, and through
the channels devised by the parties to the
new deal, to turn over that control to the
new combination which will now proceed
to turn out the present management, select
its own officers for the Housatonic road,
and to run that institution in its own in-
terests. This, the same rumor sa 5, can
be headed off by the lease of the ousa.
tonic road,and its branches to the Consol-
idated, if that lease can be consummated
soon enough, and therefore there is a
revival of the former rumors to the effect
that the Consolidated road will sopn dan-
gle the scalp of the Housatonic at itsbelt,
while a Bridgeport man will be Prcs1dent
of this newly constructed combimitlop.
What there may be of truth or falsity In
these rumors must be developed Within a
short time, and the public Wlli not have to
' wait very long to have them substantiated
or disproved—Skmdard.
We were informed two weeks or more
ago that Hon. William D. Bishop had sold
a large block of Housatonic common stock
at figures that had really startled him, as
well as other railroad magnates. He had
not desired to sell and did not suspect, (as
he represented),that there was any market
for it, and when he set his price so far be-
yond any figures ever thought of in connec-
tion with this stock and his offerwas in-
stantly taken up, it is said to have made
the old railroad magnate‘s. head swim, and
not till then had his suspicions been
aroused as to the mighty Pennsylvania
Central Railroad syndicate being behind
it all. But the suspicion is general that
our great “Consolidated" cat will be found
quietly nestling beneath all this meal,
when the public shall finally be allowed
to know “what’s up.” The rumor that
Mr. Bishopfiwill succeed President Watrous
is also denied, but wiseacrea stilldeclare it
to bea settled purpose and if it is not car-
ried out it will be because present plans
miscarry.

Our Contemporaries.
The Seminars serial history of the gal-
lant Seventeenth regiment, is one of the
most interesting contributions to the local
war literature that has yet been pub-
lislicd.
The triangular fight between Litclifield,
Winsted and New Milford, for the pos.
session of the Litchfield county courthouse
waxes hot. It has arrived at such a des-
perate, seething white heat that the usual-
ly serene and placid Bolles of the New
Milford Gazette actually calls Hickox of
the Litchfield Enquirera“confirmcd spec-
tacled antiquarian." Hickox doesn’t
come right out plainly and say so, but he
intimates that Bolles is a horrid thing.
Our Jeffersonian contemporary, the
Danbnry Democrat, has our congratula.
tions on its achievement of a prosperity
that enables it to add a new press, a
business manager, and a$10,000 libel suit.
It is a lively paper, for its editor is Swift.
At the recent town election in New Ha-
ven, as a joke four editors of the princi-
pal city papers were elected hog haywards.
In order to complete the joke their friends
propose to turn a drove of hogs loose on
the park and demand that the haywards
do their duty by catching them. It’s a
hoggiSh joke but it bristles with fun.
The Portchester Enterprise and the
Journal are “by the ears." The former
threatens to sue the latter and the latter
tells the former to go ahead. Better form
a ring, dearly beloved brethren, and take
it out in slugging. It’s cheaper than
law.
The Seymour Times is a year old and
very healthy. Editor Whiting never
drinks nor smokes, but since he went to
Seymour the local bakery has been obliged
toxincrease its facilities and put another
wagon and man on the route, either
because the Times is a good advertising
medium or because its editor has a big ap-
petite.
The second number of “Work and
Wages” is on our table. It contains ex-
haustive and able papers on the labor
and capital problems, including a charac-
teristic article by its editor, F. H. Giddings
on “Who and what are the unemployed."

Primary and Secondary.
The candidate of the Norwalk GAzn'r'rr.
for the judgeship to be vacated by Judge
Granger is the Hon. Asa B. Woodward,
of Norwalk. The GAzrms: urges him,
first, because he is a Fairfield county man;
second, because he is by natural judicial
judgment, instinct, tastes and education
fitted to be a judge. Seems as if the latter
reason ought to have been ut first, even
in Fairfield county. We’ll cave it to the
GAZETTE itself if it wouldn’t have sounded
better that way—Palladium.
Certainly not. He is our candidate,
primarily, because he is a Fairfield county
man, a good and potent qualification,
especially when backed up by such a
powerful secondary claim as his eminent
fitness “by natural judicial judgment,
tastes and education,” etc. However,
our neighbor’s proposition, generally con-
sidered, is all right: fitness first, locality
claim afterwards—when applied to candi-
dates outside of Fairfield county.

Unhitched Horses.
There ought to be a law prohibiting the
leaving of horses unhitchcd on_ our public
thoroughfares, A few mornings since,
seven were left between the post ofilce and
the-corner near the brid e in Birmingham,
and were seen so stan ing at the same
time. Suppose one of them had taken
fright and dashed in among the others—a
thing liable to occur at any time—what a
trouble might ensue.——Amonia Sentmel.
Truer words were never written. Half
of the runaways in the country, (ofhorses
we mean) are caused by their not being
hitched when left by their drivers. We
had a case in point only last Week
here in Wall street, and except for the
alertness of Messrs. W. S.Moody, Jr., and
James H. Bailey, who spoiled a first-class
local item for us by seizing an untied
double team just as it was starting from
in front of-our office, another perilous
runaway would have been ours to record.

Dons vs. Docmas.
Rev. Colonel Anderson sat at the ’edi-
torial desk in the GAzsr'rn sanctum last
Wednesday morning reading a galley
proof of the Congregational gconcert pro
gramme, while his big black dog made
himself at home, frequently nosing a
ragged-looking hole under the closetdo or-
sill, evidently suspecting this to be a “rat”
office, when Rev. Father Slocum entered,
followed by his snuff-colored dog. Greet-
ing the Rev. Colonel, while the We dogs
proceeded to get acquainted, the Rev.
Father jokingly observed :
“Well, Mr. Anderson, I see you are
occupying the editorial chair, and shall
look for some fireworks in the old GAza-r-rs
next week.”
Just then the two dogs began to growl
and square off for a Sparring match, and
Father Slocuniinterposed and crowded
them apart with the remark:
“I thought likely you dogs would have
to get into a religious controversy before
you got through. Here, Snuff! go lie
down, and don’t let your Roman CatholEc
zeal get the better of you."
“You see,” said Colonel Anderson, ad-
dressing the scribe, who stood by in ex-
pectant apprehension, “how ‘nicely Father
Slocum and I, the Papist and heretic, can
agree; hilt our dogs don't. seem to be able
to understand , that there isn‘tdifIcr-
ence enough to warrant even a dog fight.
Bruno, lie down, and show your true
Protestant meekness."
It was only chafi', but it served to point
the moral that broad minds, capable of
grasping broad situations and digesting
broad truths, have neither time nor ten-
dency to fight over means, while the two
pugnacious dogs afforded a not inapt
illustration of your little, narrow bigols,
who measure the intensity of their piety
by the bitterness they can exhibit in
“hatin’ each other for the love 0’ God.”

Quarter-Master General Olmstead.
Err-postmaster Charles Olmstead has ae-
ccpted the appointment of Quarter-Master
General, tendered him by Governor-elect
Lounsbury. The appointment is a worthy
one and does honor alike to the recipient
and the appointing power. Mr. Olm-
stead’s excellent record as a militiamen
stands as an eloquent testimony to his fit-
ness for the ofilee, and the appointment,
from every standpoint, seems in direct
recognition of the eternal fitness of things.
It is becoming by reason of the intimate,
confidential, long-standing friendship ex-
isting between Mr. Olmstead and Mr.
Lounsbury; and it is a fitting tribute to Mr.
0’s. “offensive partisanship,” which is of
that unmistakable, straight-out, republi-
can sort that admifsof no question as to its
sincerity, and which he demonstrated as
a member of the state central committee,
in the late campaign, when the result in
this district showed the most effective
work and thorough organization of any
district in the state.
In the appointment of Mr. Olmstead,
Gov.-elect Lounsbury makes no mistake,
and its excellence is such as to inspire
the utmost confidence in his future course
as the chief executive of this Common-
wealth.
O
Mystcrlous Manifesto;
Sr. Pn'rlrnssuno, Dec. I4.—The agitation
recently fomented by students, and which
onlyafew days ago resulted in a fight be—
tween students and the police, continues un-
abated. Almost every day there is issued a
fresh “manifesto” against the Russian ofii-
cials, unmistakably the work of students, and
the police have made a large number of ar-
rests in their efforts to ascertain their origin.
None of the students arrested will tell, and
thepoliee areasmuch as ever in the dark
concerning the place where the manifestos
are printed, or by what agency they are
issued.
The Imperiled Schooner.
PHILADELPHIA, ’ Dec. l4.-—Tho schooner
Mair and Cramer, from Georgetown, D. 0.,
for New York, which was reported a few
distress, with the low of rudder, has arrived
here. Her captain reports that Mate Sarn-
uel L. Allen, of the schooner, belonging to
North Tesbury, Mass, jumped into the boat
sent by the Knickerbocker and was lost.
The captain knew nothing of the loss of the
chief oflioer and four men from the steamer,
including Mate Allen, until informed of the
fact by the captain of a tug.
Protestant Home Rulers.
DUBLIN, Dec. 14.—A large meeting of
Protestant home rulers was held here, at
which resolutions were passed unanimously
favoring free speech, open air meetings and
fair play for Catholics Magistrate Clarke
made a stirring speech in support of the reso-
lutions, in which he asserted that Lord Ran-
dolph Churchill did not believe in the policy
of the Conservatives; was, at heart, opposed
to it. Yet he had not the courage to declare
his convictions and withdraw from that
party, believing that it were better to reign
in hell than to serve in heaven.
Banker Lane's Plea.
Bosrorv, Dec. 14.—The trial of the criminal
case against Richmond J. Lane, cx—president
of the Abington National bank, is fixed for
Jan. 24. It is claimed that some weeks will
be necessary in examiningthe books to find
where the money went to, as none of what is

. Rheumatism
Usually settles in the back or limbs, and
often so completely overpowers its victims
that all business or labor has to be aban-
doned. Our readers should remember
that Hood's Sarsaparilln is not recom-
mended as a positive specific for rheu-
matism; its proprietors doubt if there is
or can be such a remedy. But many
people who were most severely afilicted,
state that they have been positively cured
by Hood‘s Sarsaparilla. The disease is
often the result of impure blood—hence
the power of this great medicine over it.
Its success in many severe cases justifies
us in recommending its use to all sufferers
from rheumatism. 100 doses one dollar.

Tim Rsrusnlcm aims to be a news a r In the
broadest and highest sense. It ringer] the
legitimate news of the day without ear or favor,
unembarrassed by personal or partisan obligations
and In com act, well-a d form. Its facili-
ties for get critic and publishing the news are
unsurpassed outside of the largest cities and are
constantly improving.
Tun erusnicnl is distinctively a New En land
newspaper although its reputation is nat onsl.
Its local field embraces not only Springfield, but
western Massachusetts. Northern Connecticut and
Southern Vermont and the news of this section it
resents with I care and fulness. In no other
ournal can t e dwellers in this region find so
complete a daily record of home affairs.
In Its political attldude Tun erusuom main-
tains a thorough independence, giving a fair hear-
Ing to all reasonable men and parties in its col-
umns, but asserting its own convictions on public
issues with vigor and clearnesa. It Is op to
unjust monopoly In every form, to oppressive and
unnecessarv taxation, to any misuse of public
trusts. It favors tariff reform in the interest
especially of the poor man, civil service reform In
the broadest measure, suspension of silver coin-
age and the acceptance of the commercial world’s
money standard, and the promotion of American
interests by natural and sound methods.
THE REPUBLICAN Is an earnest advocate of tem-
perance, of social simplicity and purity, and of all
the good causes that help to make life better.

takes to Instruct and entertain its readers by the
