The “Providence Journal” would
like to see railway strikes put on the
same footing-before the law as mutiny
at sea. It argues that the reasoning
which justifies stern suppression of
mutiny applies equally in the other case
since the nature of the offence is the
same, in that disobedience to orders
"or abandonment of work endangers
lives, imperils the ship or train,.and in.
terferes with transportation service
which is for the common good. The
“Journal” suggests that railway men
he engaged under a requirement to
;.~ we a certain sufficient notice of inten-
turn to leave the service. This is to be
made binding by penalties like those
now provided for mutiny at sea, and
conSpiraey to hamper the operation of
the road being open to similar punish-
men t.

The John Brown Monument.
The project to erect a granite shaft to
the memory of John Brown at Harper’s
Ferry on the site of the building which
he and his sons converted into ”a fort
deserves to be encouraged. It is emi-
menti y fitting that this movement should
ties headed by men like Frederick Doug-
.Eass, Blanche K. Bruce and John R.
L—Lynch. It is easy to understand the
:gra-titude in which the colored race
‘holds the memory of the rugged old
hero of Ossawotomie. The proposed
' monument, however, should not be
I reared. solely by the colored people.
‘flt‘he fame of John Brown is part of the
glory of the Republic, and his sacrifices
.and services were rendered in the cause
«of freedom and humanity. The Harp-
« er’s Ferry monument should be the tri~
lbute of the people! regardless of ’ race
yparty, section or or: ed.

'A Jacksonian Democrat.
The country is to be congratulated
that it has for President a man of the
true Andrew Jackson grit, a man who
believes in enforcing the constitutional
authority of the Federal Government.
How different from President Cleve-
land’s prompt and courageous action,
was the timid, vacillating and even
cowardly course of Buchanan. . There
was a ring of Lincoln’s honest, patriot-
ic firmness in Cleveland’s treatment of
the railroad strikers.
This is not a time for partisanship.
While we‘difi'er in our point of view, or
in the logical development of our con-
stitutional ideas,we are really all funda-
mentally at one in loyalty to American
institutions, and patriotic men of what-
ever party will give cordial and earnest
support to the President'in the enforce-
ment of law and order.
Two such loyal and patriotic utter-
ancee as ,those from Senator and ex-
Confederate General John B. Gordon
of Georgia, and of Senator Davis, Re-
publican, of Minnesota, representing
as they do the twoextremes of partisan
and sectional difference, go very far
towardsobliterating entirely, old time
party and sectional bitternesses in the
higher andfnobler purpose to stand by
the Government and the President as
its legally constituted authority.
Statehood for Utah.
9 In “a very few days the legislation
necessary to the admission of Utah as
a member of the family of states will
have been completed, and President
Cleveland will have the honor and
pleasure of signing the charter of the
forty-fifth member of the Union house-
hold. As everybody knows, Utah would
have come in long ago—in advance of
at least six of her predecessors—but for
the practice of polygamy by a portion
«of her people. Neither of the leading
parties in Congress deemed it advisable
to admit a state that insisted on the
maintenance of this Oriental custom—
a state controlled by a religious body
that made polygamy a religious obliga-
tion. But the Mormon Chui'ch finally
decided on a peaceful revolution, and,
in conformity with this decision, it
lifted polygamy bodily out of its creed
and consigned it to the list of things
obsolete. Because revolutions do not
go backward the condemned and dis-
carded institution is in no danger of
being recalled to life. It would be as
easy to re-cstablish slavery in Virginia
as to restore polygamy in Utah, and
there is no evidence that any consider-
able number or people anywhere desire
the restbrationof either of these insti-
tutions. '
With her cities living in obedience to
the law and in harmony with the teach-
rings of modern' civilization, says the
_“Washington Post, the. new state will
‘ enter upon what promises to he a great _
career. In 1890, according to the cen-
. sue, the territory contained a popula.
tion of 207,905, while in theState of
Nevada there was only 45,761 popula-.
tion, and in Idaho 84,345, and in Wy-
oming 60,705, and in North Dakota—
182,719, and in Delaware 168.493, while
New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhone
Island have not much larger popula-
tions. So large a body of people cer-
tainly ought to have the right to elect
their own local officials and to be rep-
resented in 'both Houses of Congress.
In other respects the territory is ex-
tremely well fitted for statehood. The
census shows that in 1890 there were
47,720 a greater number than that in
the schools of Delaware, or North Da-
kota, or Montana, or Nevada, or Idaho,
or Wyoming. There were 427 churches
in 1890 and 61.62 per cent. of the popu—
lation were church members. No state
exceeds this percentage, and no terri-
tory except New Mexico equals it. It
is shown also that the debt of the ter-
ritory is only $767,501, or $3.69 per cap-
ita, while the debt of every other state
and territory except West Virginia is
greater than this per capita. Her min-
eral wealth is great, with prospects of
immense additions. Her agricultural
products are varied and abundant, and
she has many flourishing manufactur-
ing establishments. Few states have
come into the Union with so splendid
an outfit as Utah possesses, and it is a
'matter for national rejoicing that her
troubles are past and her smiling face
is set toward a bright future.
As a Compromise.
The warring elements among our
Democratic friends at Washington as
regards the tariff, leads us to indicate a
simple way out of the woods. ‘It is now
plain as a pipe-staff, that the Wilson
Bill can never become a law, and it is
equally evident that the .“diluted” Mc-
Kinley bill of the Senate is foredoomed
to a defeat. ,Leaving the McKinley
bill on the statute book will not, how-
ever, cage the tarifl bear; That this
country believes in seme sort of pro-
tection is certain, but that it is irrevoc-
ably committed to' some of the ultra
features of the McKinley tarifl; admits
of astrong doubt. That it is a ques-
tion which should be settled all agree,
and none more than thelmerchants and
manufacturers of this country. Tarifl'
agitations are harmfulrandl'tarifi' chang-
es much more so. Every change in the
tariff has been followed by a financial
“squall” of greater or less importance,
and yet the politicians of both parties,
decline to leave the question alone.
Strictly speaking, the tariff has no more
connection with politics than the bait-
ing of a fish hook, but it is a question
that has got into politics and it will
stay there until the American people
rise up in their might and cry out
“hands off.” '
In view of the present'situation, we
believe the question capable of a settle-
ment and a permanent one at that.
We advocate no experiment or crank
legislation, we simply suggest that Con-
gress re-enact the tariff of 1883;- and
our reasons are: it is no experiment as
it was on the statute book for seven
years; it has. been through the courts
and would call for but few, if any at
all, further judicial explanations; the
Treasury officials know all about its de-
tails and administration; merchants and
manufacturers are acquainted with its
previous workings and effects upon
their business; as a revenue producer
it has a record as was shown during the
last year of President Cleveland’s pre-
vious administration. Our Democratic
friends could consistently support it,
because. it substantially reverses Mc-
Kinleyism, and because the denuded
condition of the Federal Treasury re-
quires cash more than anything else.
Our Republican friends could not re-
ject it because it was framed and passed
under Republican 'auspices, and it
might lead to an agreement to leave
the tarifl’ alone for the next twenty'five
years. But best of all, we have a
“ready made” law that could be passed
and signed by the President inside of
two hours if Congress had any disposi-
tion to expedite matters, and settle this
troublesome question. Here, in our
judgment, is common ground ‘where
all the warring elements can “get to-
gether” and give us a law that is in no
sense experimental, but that has been
tried and tested; that is a step in the
direction of alower tariff and one more-
over that has yielded ample revenue.
If Congress had any regard for the
American people; if they desired to see
business revive, factories run and the
thousand activities of the countyre-
sume, they would settle this question.
If, however, they wish to see the coun-
try languish, and idleness and want,
the right hand of anarchy, continue to
work mischief, they will keep this
question popen indefinitely.

and Lockwood buildings on Main street

Hood’s Sarsaparilla
You smile‘at the idea. But
if you are a sufferer-from'
Dyspepsia
And Indigestion, try a. bottle, and be-
fore you have taken half a dozen doses,
you will involuntarily think, and no
doubt exclaim,
.. That Just Hits It!"
“That soothing efiect is a magic
touch!” Hood’s Sarsaparilla gently
tones and strengthens the stomach
and digestive organs, invigorates the
liver, creates a natural, healthy desire
for food, gives refreshing sleep, and
in short, raises the health tone of the
entire system. Remember

Tariff Bill Bursted.
After months of dreary, vexatious
scheming and tinkering of the proposed
Reform Tariff Bill, the Democrats of
the Conference Committee of the two
Houses, emerge from their seclusion
and rep )rt an irreconcilable disagree-
ment! Thousands of millions of dollars
have been lost to this country and to
our laboring masses, by reason of the
threat to destroy our own American
industries and give our future orders
to the manufacturers and. their pauper
paid laborers in Europe.
looks as if we might be compelled to
endure the McKinley law for another
year at least, and run the terrible risk
of a return to the distressingly pros-
perous times preceeding the last'Presi-
dential election. when all our factories
were running, all our laboring masses
at work and a period of business activ-
ity and success, unprecedented in this
'or any other country, everywhere pre-
vailed.
There is u. hailing cry of distress go-
ing up all over the country calling for
a halt in this Tariff scandal and butch-
ery of all our business industries.
“Disagreed” indeed! Well, the Peo- ~
ple of this country have disagreed with
the ruinous Tariff performance through-
out, and have shown that disagreement
at every election which has taken place
since the lamentable farce opefi’ed.
They will continue to “disagree” in the
elections now to follow.
A Word as to 1896. ~
“An ideal candidate,” is the caption
of an editorial in Col. McClure’s inde-
pendent Democratic journal which
nominates Senator Cushman K. Davis,
of Minnesota, as the only fitting Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency
in 1896. The Times asserts that—
“The present assault of anarchy
against free government in the majesty
of its laws has developed but two great
men. They are Grover Cleveland, the
Democratic President, who has sized
up to the full measure of his great du-
ties, and C. K. Davis. Republican Sen-
ator from the state of Minnesota, who
gave to the country the first manly,
patriotic, and courageous utterance in
the support of the government. Mr.
Cleveland is not thought of as a candi-
date for 1896, as he has been twice
chosen for President; but Senator Davis
has made himself the ideal Republican
candidate for the great battle of ’96,
and if the Republican leaders are wise
they will present no other name to the
next national convention.”
After commending Senator Davis for
“the promptness and unmistakable ring
of his protest against the lawlessness
which has disturbed the. peace, the in-
dustry, and the commerce of the coun-
try,” the Times says:
“While Congressman Reed and Gov.
McKinley have been shivering over the
issue in silence, and err-President Har-
rison have. been forced to explain him-
self after the backbone of anarchy had
been pratically broken, Senator Davis
is the one man of the Republican lead-
ers who had the patriotism and courage
to place country above party. and law
above anarchy. Considering that the
most vital issue of 1896 .will be the
supremacy of law, the maintenance of
order and the tranquility ‘of business,
the one ideal candidate for the Repub-
licans for President is Senator Davis,
of Minnesota. With such a candidate
the Republicans could command the
support of hundreds of thousands of
Democrats who regard the majesty of
the law and the prosperity of industry
and trade as vastly more important than
party success.
It is doubtful if Senator Davis or his '
party will feel truly grateful to a Demo-
cratic editor for suggestinur the head of
the Republican Presidential ticket, but .
virtue is its own reward, and Col. Mc-
Clure is rich in such emoluments. The-
Mi-nnesota Senator has been almost uni-
versally commended for saying the
right thingjust in the nick of time, and
the incident will long be remembered
to his credit, althoughit may not secure
for him a Presidential nomination.
Electric Llne to Brldgeport.

In Private Practice.
Such strong proofs of the marvelous
cures made by Dr: David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy have, brought to pub.
lic notice lately, through the various
newspaper investigations, that .it has
become new the standard medicine for
the disease for which it is prepared.
Dr. G. H. Ingraham of Amsterdam,
N. Y., states, where the regular pre-
scriptions used in a case of kidney dis-
ease and gravel utterly failed, . he pre-
scribed Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite. Rem-
edy, and it cured the patient) _
Dr.Jewett Smith,of J ewett's Heights
N. Y., prescribed Favorite Remedy for
Mrs. Casper Brooks, 'of Athens, N. Y.,
who was suffering from kidney disease,
ulceration of the stomack, complicated
with sickness peculiar to her sex ; after
the second day, steady. improvement
was noted, and final permanent recov-
ery. - .
Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy acts
directly upon the kidneys, liver and
blood, in cases of nervousness. dys-
pepsia, rheumatism and Bright’s dis-
ease ; it has made most pronounced
cures, after all other treatments have
failed. Druggists sell it.
