S1IOHT SIGHTED PROTECTION.
An enHtern paper, commenting on the
petition nsniriHt the Chace copyright bill,
rnnkeH the statuinenf that the petition is in
the interest of British printers ami publish-
ers. This is probably deemed the surest
way to condemn the petition. Tho interest
cf tho British printers comes into tho nITair
in this way: They perceive that if the
United States congress passes a law
to require that type bo set In this
country for nooks printed in both* count lies
the tendency of such a statute will be to
cause publishers under such conditions to
have their type setting done In the United
States and to make pin tea find ship thesamo
to England. That would bo done until the
British printers moved their government to
put a stop to the onesided arrangement.
The British publishers foresee that their
parliament will be called upon to pro-
tect British printers from (ui arbi
•y statute made at Washington, and
i with two arbitrary statutes,
to balance the other, the
k trade will be so much the worse off,
the printers and public also. It wchild
, nice thing for the craft in either coun-
to have a monopoly of type setting for
i, but it is something that neither can
>. It can bring retaliation by assuming
o so. The British publishers of course
•Id not mind for themselves if they got
photo-stereo-plates from typo set in Tim
buctoo or anywhere else, provided the price
were moderate, but they aro shrewd
enough to see a little beyond the end of
their noses, and to throw out u warning to
American printers who don't. Tiie protec-
tionists by their mad policy of greed have
driven England to developing wheat areas
which are turning out a product destructive
to the hopo of American farmers for any
profit on wheat growing. Protectionism in
any other* line will have a similar effect.
It to!s other people's wits at work
to find ways of doing with-
out us, and when they have a
large share of the world to operate in they
be come independent, and this nation is left
with surpluses of everything which it
readily produces, while at the same time it
of course has a lack of purchasing power
for other things which it needs.
SOUTHERN PROTECTIONISTS AND
REPUBLICANS.
Speaking of the Birmingham (Ala.) man
nfaeturers' address the Boston Post says:
It is intimated that thin movement of the
manufacturers has for ita ultimate object the
founding of a now political party In the south-
ern states, whoso basis shall be the Interests (if
invested capital. This is amost unlikely result.
Political, parties aro not made to order
in such fashion. They grow from the
necessities of the situation and are
not "promoted" like a corporation for the
development of mining properties. The work
of the gentlemen who have ottered to help geii-a
eral Harrison to divide tho solid south will be"
accomplished nobly if they succeed in giving
tho republican party such a standing in the
southern states that, as one of them said, he
"could Join it and retain his eelf-respect." When
that is done, the Contest for reform can he
fought out on Its merits, and the friemlt of re-
form have no doubt of the result.
The idea of tho Post is that when there
ore more avowed republicans in the south-
ern states the democrats will stand more
free from injury as a party by prejudice in
the north. Hero, then, is an argument
from common sense and expediency why
tho Birmingham protectionists should be
courteously regarded and made to feel com-
fortable. They have no other occasion to
hesitate about calling themselves re-
publicans than reluctance to incur
the odium locally attaching to that
party name. When it is to the ulti-
mate party advantago of the democrats
themselves to treat these men fairly and
with the respect duo to genuine avowals
and to honest consistency of conviction and
conduct, surely the democrats can afford to
accord such treatment. Do it., and there
will be no further talk of a separate party
co-operating as protectionists with the re-
publicans. They are convertible terms.
Those men are republicans. Treat them
decently and deserve honest treatment from
the quarters where republicanism is the
Strongest.
TJxdek tho title of scandalous business
the Spanish papers are publishing the text
of an application and .reply which passed
between U. S. Consul H. C. C. Astwood ac-
credited to Santo Domingo and the minister
of the interior of the Dominican republic.
The former solicited for an American show-
man the privilege of taking the bones
of Christopher Columbus and exhibit-
ing them for money in the United
States during four years, offering to
pay for a guard of Dominican soldiers
and monks to accompany and to share
the profits equally with the Dominican
government and guarantee not less than
$800,000 a year. The reply of Secretary
Figuerro is a dignified rebuke to tho specu-
lator and consul. The Spauish papers arc
right, and this country should awake to an
appreciation of the fact that such scandal-
ous propositions bring upon this nation a
share of that profound contempt which is
felt for officials who lend themselves to
such sacrilegous enterprises, revolting to
good taste and common decency, as well as
con'-non sense.
r. New York chamber of commerce will
a special display of cornmeal and
id products thereof at the great Erench
bition. There should be a great addi-
il consumption of corn bread in Ku-
when it is properly introduced in the
dus palatable forms known to the
ed American cook and baker.
Tiie Rev. Dr. Bolles of New York city
propounded a new idea of religion in his
sermon of last Sunday. He said that but a
small part of a church should be used for
purposes of worship. "I would make of it
a vast hive of human endeavor, in which
there should bo everything to stimulate the
intellect, such as libraries and industrial
schools, where children could be taught the
mechanic arts. I would make all these
tliings free, and let the church fill itself."
Ruther a strange idea. It is to be hoped
Dr. Bolles has thought it out.
If it were not that New Mexico is
democratic the Chicago Tribune would
never have objected to admitting "greas-
ers" to statehood. Tho greasers serve it as
an excuse.
f
In the Boston city election last year, a
woman voter came back to tho ward clerk,
After having deposited her ballot and left
the ward-room, to ask if the ballot-box
might not be opened and her ballot taken
out, as she had been told that "she had
voted for a wrong person on the ticket and
ghe would tifco to put 1q * 4i£ertot ballot."
THE STATE niESS.
What the Papers Throughout Texas Are
Talking- About.
In commenting upon tho utterances re-
cently reported to have been mado at San
Antonio by ex-Governor Ireland, who,
while disclaiming any belief in or sympathy
with the doctrine of protection, and while
predicting the filial triumph of democratic
principles, said that "the time will come
when tho protected south will stoinl solidly
arrayed against a free trade New England,"
the Brenham Banner says:
The doctrine of protection will never
gain a stronger hold in this country than it
already has, and the watchword of reform
and progress at present is that the roldier
tariff must co. The republican party, tho
champion of the monopolists, Itself is be-
ginning to recognize this necessity, and
with a little more agitation tariff reform
will be accomplished. Uovolutiona never
go backward, aiul the labor troubles and
discontent which have been aroused among
the wagoworkers of this country will not
be stopped uu,til the wide breach bet ween
labor and capital is tilled up. This will
not bo accomplished until the protection
heresy shall have been forever done away
with.'
The Greenville Banner says Hunt county
produced $1,000,000 worth of cotton this
season even with the disadvantages, of a
short crop, and even with that ther»is talk
of hard times. Tho explanation is fur-
nished thus:
The trouble is that the said dearly beloved
million is not lingering in this section to
any great extent. It makes its annual trip
down here to move the cotton crop, but be-
fore it has beeu here long enough for tho
people to form its acquaintance it starts
tiack north and east to pay for bacon, flour,
farm machinery, boots and shoes, canned
goods and many other things that might be
produced here as well as anywhere else.
We
, beans, peas and other veg<
can be raised here to great perfection. This
iv'
oven send off for onions, cabbages, pota-
toes, beans, peas and other vegetables that
ought not to be so. While cotton is our
most profitable surplus crop, and probably
always will be, it should not monopolize
all our attention. Better mix other things
with it a little.
Among other laws which should be on-
acted at tho coming session of the legisla-
ture, the Menardville Monitor thinks it im-
perative that one should be passed for the
proper classification of school lands, as
some portjons ure much more valuable than
others, and says:
On much of this land water can only be
obtained by deep and expensive boring, and
where this is the case the price of tho laud
should be reduced.
The El Paso Herald says:
Mr. Clarke, who has long managed the
business of the Pullman Car company in
this section, and who makes El Paso" his
office headquarters, does not take much
stock in these statements to tho effect that
the completion of the Mexican National
railroad has badly injured the Mexican
bound passenger business via El Paso. Ho
says that the first-class travel into Mexico
over the Mexican Central is better than it
was last year.
Tho Herald says:
A knowledge of Spanish is of little serv-
ice to the man who wishes to make himself
a competent and patriotic United States
voter. He should master the king's Eng-
lish. Now Mexico's claim to statehood
would be greatly improved in tho east if it
became known that the teaching of the
English language would be made compul-
sory in the public schools of tho territory.
There is a strong feeling all over the United
States that those who donot know the com-
mon language of the country aro unfit to
vote.
In old Mexico the English languages is
now a common study. Iti his notes of travel
in Mexico in 1883 Mr. Howard Conkling
speaks of the general anxiety of the intel-
ligent class of people to liavo their children
taught English and to learn the languago
themselves. The peons care nothing for
education of any kind.
The Houston Post remarks:
Barney Gibbs says he is investing all his
surplus money at Aransas. A man witli
surplus cash is lucky.
"Barney" is probably happy, now, as the
Galveston contractors who are to deepen the
waterways of the "future great" west Tex-
as seaports are now about to begin opera-
tions, and will accomplish the desired re-
sult if possible. Galveston never was jeal-
ous of her little cousins down the coast.
The Hecord, published at Seguin by J. T.
Barbour, has entered upon its fourth vol-
ume, and asks for support solely on tho conj
tiuued merits of the paper, promising im-
provements as rapidly as patronage is in-
creased.
SPORTING NEWS.
kilrain and mitchell.
St. Louis, Mo., December 30.—The Kil-
rain-Mitchell exponents of the Delsartean
movement arrived in St. Louis to-day and
will give an exhibition of their skill as
boxers at the nattaorium to-morrow night
under the auspices of Professor Bill Clark,
the "Belfast chicken." Kilrain and Mitch
ell kept closely to their rooms at the South-
ern during the day, and Parson Davies did
the talking. The "parson" stated that a
letter had been forwarded to-night to ICil-
rain's New York backer to the effect that
he would meet the Sullivan party in Buffa-
lo, N. Y., January 7, and the parson
stated that the match would be closed with-
in ten days, or tho party who refuses
to fight will be shown up. Mr.
Davies claimed that Kilrain was
not only willing but anxious to meet Sulli-
van, and would agree to anything in reason
to bring abouta match. As to Jackson, the
Australian wonder, he did not see money or
glory in meeting with tho black. There was
nothing to win and everything to loso. The
parson thought that McAuliff had been
uverestimated. Bill Bradburn had de-
feated Giover in nine rounds. It took
McAuliff forty-nine rounds to beat him.
His defeat of Conley was a chance blow.
Kilrain and Mitchell think that they have
been misrepresented, and that adverse com-
ment is the cause of their shabby treatment
wherever they go. _
PRIVATE SECRETARY HALFORD

indianapolis, Ind., December 30.—[Spe-
cial]—Regarding a special cable from Lon-
don purporting to give an extract from a
letter said to have been written a few days
since by E. W. Halford to John C. Reid,
formerly of the New York Times, wherin
Mr. Halford is said to have stated that Hon.
John C. New did not desire to go into Gen-
eral Harrison's cabinet, and that Indiana
would probably be represented by General
Lew Wallace as postmaster-general, Mr.
Halford says that since his appointment as
private secretary to General Harrison ho
lias not written a word regarding the cabi-
net or its possible composition to Mr. Reid
or any one else. _

MEMBERS ELECT
To tlio N«t Hons#, to the Number of 350,
Send in Their Certificates,
Washington, December 30.—Clerk Clark
of the house of representatives has re-
ceived the certificates of 350 members elect
to the next house, and has been officially in-
formed that certificates have been issued in
all but three congressional districts. Of cer-
tl ficates issued 103 are to republican and 1591 o
democrats, and of those districts still in
doubt two of them aro West Virginia and
ono Tennessee. In all of them tho repub-
lican candidates claim majorities in face of
the returns. However, should the demo-
cratic candidates get tho certificates their
party will not have control, as the republi-
cans will still have a majority of 1, anil will
organize the house.
The question is whether it will be one or
seven. Several republicans who are elected
to the next house are in uncertain health.
Several whoso names are often mentioned
are regarded as having a very uncertain
tenure of life. Every indication of ill health
on the part of a member of the
next house is regarded with
anxiet® and adds another argument
to the many advanced in favor of au
extra session. This being the case the can-
didacy for the speakership is becoming mora
heated every day. Of 103 republicans who
have received certificates of election it id
said that Mr. Cannon has 49 pledged to vote
for him, Mr. Read 38, McKinley 23 and Mr.
Burrows 53.
There are sixteen unpledged southern
members. Tho other fifteen members arc
scattered between prospective candidates,
and there is no telling for whom they will
vote.
DAVE HILL'S INAUGURATION.
Democrats Will Attend tlio Blow-Ont -t
What They Will Do.
Washington, December 30.—The demor
crats are very much interested in the great
big show that is going to come off at Alt
bany, N. Y., next week, on the occasion of
Dave Hill's inauguration as governor of
that commonwealth. The eastern demo<-
crats here make no denial of their intention
to force the nomination of Hill for presi-
dent in 1893. The western, and more es-
pecially the southwestern democrats are
aware of this intention, and it does not make
them happy. The southwestern democrats
have no use for Hill. They believe that he
knifed Cleveland and further that he knifed
Cleveland for the purpose of displaying the
expediency of malting him (Hill) the nomi-
nee of the party for president in 1893. The
New York followers of Hill are eoing to
make a tremendous blowout on the occa-
sion of his reinauguration. They are trying
to coax the democrats from the southwest,
from the west, from the south and the
northwest to attend for the purpose of giv-
ing it a tinge of a national character.
It is very doubtful if the Hill people can
induce many democrats not hailing from
New York to join in the big blowront, and
If the sentiment honestly expressed here
now keeps on top for the next three years
there is not much danger that Dave Hill
will be the next candidate of the democratic
party for president.
VOTE TAKEN
ity a Dakota Journal on lhe Question of
Single or Doable Statehood.
St. Paul, Minn., December 30.—A vote has
been taken by a Deadwood (Dak.) paper on
questions of single or double statehood, and
it is shown that little more than five-sixths
of those answering are in favor of a division
and admission as two states. Answers re-
ceived are from various parts of southern
Dakota, and those voting are of all occupa-
tions and all political faiths. This vote is
believed to be a fair representation of pub-
lic sentiment on a matter which daily grows
stronger.
From Washington it is reported that the
Dakota bills will be taken up and passed at
once after the appropriation bills have been
disposed of, and action by the present con-
gress would not be altogether surprising,
although the people seem scarcely to expect
it. The southern half of the territory has a
population sufficient to entitle it to two
congressmen, and action for such legislation
is already on foot.

Formerly of Galveston, Now Treading the

New Orleans, La., December 30.—At the
Grand opera-house to-night Hill's Union
Square Theater company scored a greatsuc-
cess. The play is entitled A Possible Case,
and is a fine production of modern charac-
ter. Among the members of the company
is Adelaide Reubens, who made a good im-
pression as Ethel Serrevo. What will some-
what surprise Galveston society undoubted-
ly is the fact that Adelaide Reubens is none
other than Mrs. Prince, well known in Gal-
veston amateur theatricals, who has adopt-
ed the stage as a profession.

Dead-llattle With Oyster Fi-
rates - Criminal Notes.
St. Louis, December 30.—Information of
a shocking tragedy comes from Craighead
county, Ark. It appears that somo days
ago the wife of William West, who was
somewhat of a desperado, left him and
returned to her mother, Mrs. Mary Dairey.
West wont to see his wife, who refuse'l to
receive him, but her mother wont out on
tho poroh, taking with hor a young child
of the couple. West began to abuse Mrs.
Dairey, charging lier with being the cause
of tho trouble between his wife and him-
self. Stephen Dairev was attracted to the
porch by the dispute and ordered West to
leave the place. West replied by pulling a
pistol and firing two Bhots, one passing
through Mrs. Dairey's hand and the other
striking Stephen in the face. Dairey then
got a repeating rifle and the two men ex-
changed Bhots. West was shot through the
heart and dle-l instantly, and Dairey was
hit in tho eye and lived but a few hours.
Battle with Oyster Pirates.
Baltimore, Md., December 30.—Informa-
tion has been received of a desperate fight
between the police sloop Julia Hamilton
and a fleet of illegal oyster dredgers that
took place last Thursday afternoon in Fish-
ing bay, on the Dorchester county coast.
Captain Tyler of the Julia Hamilton dis-
covered the pirates at work and attacked
them. The battlo continued several hours,
over 600 shots being fired from the police
boat, and a great many from the boats of
the oyster thieves. An unknown dredger
was shot through tho arm, and the boats
were badly riddled with bullets, though no
serious damage was done. The pirates wore
finally routed. On Friday morning the
state forces were strengthened by the ar-
rival of the steamer Governor McLane, and
five dredging sohooners were captured and
towed into Cambridge. Their captains
escaped.
What He Took with Him.
CniCAGO, 111., December 30.—Thomas
Vines, assistant timekeeper of tho Adams
and Westlako Manufacturing company,
disappeared suddenly yesterday evening,
taking with him the week's salary of 700
men and boys. The amount of money
carried off was about $10,000. It was done
up in 700 packages ready for delivery to the
employes. Vines does not usually handle
the money, but apparently foresaw that he
would on this occasion and had an express
wagon in waiting. An unusually larj.e
number of police and detectives were set to
work almost immediately after his depart-
ure, but up to midnight there was no clew
to tho whereabouts of the man or money.
Shooting at Montgomery.
beantley, Tex., December 30. — News
reached here to-day of the shooting of Jim
Priddie by Charles Smith of Montgomery.
The particulars aro not known, but the
trouble seems to have arisen over a raffie
for a music box. Priddie was shot in the
back, the ball coming out at the pit of his
stomach. He is not expected to live.
A slow rain lias beeu falling for the past
two days, and business is entirely suspend-
ed on "account of tho weather and Christ-
mas, the latter passing off quietly, with few
lights and a general good time.

Dyspepsia
Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head-
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc., are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears tho
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
" I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had
but little appetite, and what I did oat distressed
me, or clld«me little good. In an hour after eating
I would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone
feoling, as though I had not eaten anything.
Hood's Sarsaparilla did me au immense amount
of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving I had previously
experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired,
all-gone feeling*. I have felt so much better since
I took Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to
recommend it." G. A. Page, TVatertOwn, Mass.
