gclmout (Chrumclc. THURSDAY, MAY 1890. The tariff bill has now passed the House, and that body of legislators is through with the measure unless it be to concur in such amendments as the Senate may Bee fit to make. As is inevitably the case the bill does not in all its provisions please every one. Omniscience could not draft a bill that would meet the demands of all men, and the bill is without doubt as good as man can frame.

So many interests conflict in an adjustment of the tariff, each interest wanting the lion's share of the benefit. that to make a bill satisfactory to all is an absolute impossibility. Mugwumps and others, whose bump of conceit is enormously developed, are pointing out the errors and inconsistencies of the bill, but thev can do no harm. It is their mission and the food of their soul to kick against what any one of superior knowledge has done. The bill rests on the foundation of the last Xational Republican platform, and on that platform the Republican party won in the strug gle.

It was not expected that the Dem ocratic leaders would like the bill, for it was not passed to gratify to pro tect the whole American people and re deem the pledge of the Republican par ty. The people, by their votes, asked for just such a measure, and now they are about to receive it. On its own mer its it stands, and the party that fathered it can justly feel proud that so much has been accomplished in so short a time. Senator Edmunds has introduced into the Senate a bill providing for the establishing of a National mversity at Washington. According to the provisions of the bill it is designed to make the institution of a breadth and width commensurate with the wants of the young men of the country, and to give powers and make it such a fountain of knowledge as has hitherto been unequal- ed.

Gen. Washington had a pet idea of a National University, and had express ed himself in favor of it whenever op portunity offered; and as an aid to such an end named in his will the sum of $50,000 to be applied to that purpose. AVashington, as the seat of government, is admirably fitted for the seat of a great university in affording the means of research in some lines which is denied in other places. But however wise the provisions for its government, it could not be wholly removed from the influence of politics, but would more or less partake of the political complexion of the ruling party, and this would act as a continuous influence to impede and restrict its progress. Churches which have hitherto had great success in conducting educational institutions, are looking toward Washington as a seat for universities, and probably ere long the city will number several large institutions where study and research will be conducted on an advanced scale.

In China it is said that when a man commits a crime not only himself, but also his whole family must suffer punishment, and for a crime of which the penalty is death, the entire family is exterminated, because they believe bad blood exists in tbeir veins and that it is likely to crop out in others. In this the Chinese seem to adhere to the theory of atavisim, and thus far they are somewhat in advance of the enlightened nations. A case showing "bad blood" has lately been brought to public attention. Ben Ishmael and wife lived in Kentucky and were regarded, and justly it seems, as lawless and vicious. To-day their descendants number 417 families in Indianapolis or vicinity, and it is said that every crime of consequence which has ever been committed in Indianapolis can be traced to some ot these families.

They are all poor, lawless, desperate characters and subsist on thieving, robbery, and murder. Had the Chinese custom been enforced against the crime-dyed propagators of this race of outlaws it would have rid the world of much misery and crime. If one family can breed so much vice, it does appear that the sooner our hardened criminal classes are killed off the-better, and that a dead criminal is better than a live one, if the progeny partakes of the character of its fathers. The newspapers of the South are raising a great fume because the Secretaries of War and the Navy will not allow military and marine bands to attend the dedication of the monument to Robert E. Lee, at Richmond.

It could hardly be the business of government bands to pack around the country attending the mourning services and engaging in a requiem of sorrow over the bones of dead traitors. As a private man probably Gen. Lee was a good average man, but his death was not a Xational calamity, while his life was. If his friends wish to raise a mausoleum above him, as private citizens they have a right to do so, but there is no call for anything in the nature of a Xational display, and at the same time the presence of U. S.

Military and Marine Bands might not be "peculiarly fitting." The "original package" decision of the Supreme Court has caused an uneasy feeling among the dairy farmers in some of the States. For if liquors can be sold in original packages in defiance of State law, oleomargarine, that terror of pure butter makers, can be imported into the States in orginal packages and sold as welL Congress is anxiously looked to to enact legislation that will avert this new danger to the genuine butter interests. Thirty-four years ago last Thursday Preston S. Brooks, of South Carolina, made his cowardly assault upon Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber at Washington. While our Southern friends do not fight with bludgeons in Congress now, recent events in the House show that they possess much of the same old spirit.

An earthquake shock was felt at Tribes Hill, X. Yv Sunday morning. T.ie talk of refusing to answer the questions propounded by the census enumerator will probably be reconsidered by most people at the projer time. The fine of 1X) for refusing to answer will have a persuasive effect on persons who do not want to tell that they have a mortgage on the house or reply to some other similar question, but the chances are that they will come down and answer with beaming sweetness. While some of the questions may seem impertinent, yet there is nothing that any sensible person would object to answering, and all the objections hitherto advanced largely lie only in the bloated imagination of the objector.

The individual ailments are not to be made public, and besides it is of general interest to know what per cent, of the population is healthy and what not. All the subjects upon which inquiry is made will possess interest when compiled into statistics, and the only sensible and reasonable plan to pursue when the enumerator calls on you, is to answer truthfully all the questions he asks. The Democrats maybe able to dis cern that in one instance at least their infamous partisan legislation is capable of working at both ends. A bill was passed last winter providing that in every city of the third grade it shall be the duty of the mayor on petition of one hundred citizens to appoint three electors as a commission to redistrict the city into wards. The bill was especially de signed for Springfield, which had a Re publican council and a Democratic mayor and that city was redistricted in accord ance with the provisions of the bill That was as far as the Democrats ever intended the bill to apply.

But Youngs town has a Republican mayor and a Democratic council, and fully meets the requirements of the bill, only it is on t'other side. The petition of one nun dred citizens has been presented, and hereafter the Republicans will have no trouble in securing a clear working majority in the city council. Poor rule that does not work both ways. Chairman Brinsmade of the Repub lican State Committee has issued his call for the meeting of the Republican State Convention at Cleveland on July 16th. The Convention will be composed of 739 delegates.

Belmont county is entitled to 12 delegates. TARIFF PHILOSOPHY. New York Tribune. "It will kill the Republican party," said a well-dressed and kid-gloved citizen on a ferry-boat yesterday, speaking of the Tariff bill which the House has just passed. His neighbor was a hard-fisted farmer who sends a deal of products to the Xew York market, and he answered: "Well, a bill which helps all the farmers, and a lot of the workers in the largest branches of manufacture, and supplies inducement besides for the employment of many thousands who can find no work now, does not seem to me likely to kill any party unless the one opposing it." The well-dressed citizen no doubt felt pity for the man who thought it would really help him to put a duty on Bermuda potatoes, Spanish onions and eggs from Holland, but despaired of convincing him.

Still the farmer had practical knowledge; the other man had read the books of British economists. This measure is pronounced a "scheme to enrich favored interests." One of the interests which a large share of the changes of duty is designed to favor embraces about half the inhabitants of the country, and the farmers really need to be "favored" bv reasonable defence against foreign competition at least as much as any other body of men. An other interest is the great woolen man ufacture which supplies a living for several hundred thousand workers when well occupied, but at present has many of its mills closed because of foreign competition. Another is the manu facture of iron, which embraces a still larger number of workers, and has dem onstrated its ability to supply the Xation with as cheap rails, nails, tools and machinery as can be had anywhere else, but in some of its branches meets damaging competition. Without add ing other industries which are also di rectly favored, far more than half the inhabitants of the country are directly interested in these three.

Legislation "for the greatest good of the greatest number" is apt to prove legislation for the greatest good of all. But the "tin plate monopolists have triumphed. In that one phrase is con densed ignorance deep enough, dark enough and desperate enough to account for the existence of a Democratic party There is not a maker of tin plates in this country; not a man or firm, or set of men, who have or can have any monopoly under the bill, or the slightest advantage over anybody else who may choose to go into the same business. There are literally thousands of manufacturing concerns which might under take it, and millions of people who might put their money into this kind of manufacture if they choose. "Monopolists" are they, these unknown individuals, any one of whom may strive on equal terms with any other to get the benefits which the duty offers.

Ihe only real monopolists are those manufacturers across the water whose trust has fixed prices of tin plates and fleeced American consumers at pleasure for years. Yet it is denounced as a "private tax," or a "tax for the benefit of individuals," when Government assists to break the hold of this foreign monopoly upon the throats of all Americans. The object of the tax is to set free sixty millions of Americans from bondage to a foreign trust, and to that end large profits are offered to those who may be the first to establish a manufacture here. Whoever pleases can take hold; the offer is for the good of the whole Xation. But whoever goes into the business will do so knowing that the domestic competition will soon be so sharp and fierce that he can expect only a living Xever mind these flings and ignorances and falsehoods, Protectionists of the Senate.

When your duty has been done, as thoroughly and as well as the Republicans of the House have done their duty, their will be a quick demand for the labor of a hundred thousand more Americans, if as many can be found idle. There will be life and hope among farmers who have long complained in vain. And there will be Republican yictories hereafter. THE DEATH OF AMOS GLOVER. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The Delaware of last week publishes the following particulars concerning the recent sad death of Capt. Amos Glover: It seems that last evening Captain (Hover, as has often been his custom, drove out to the residence of Mr. Simpson, which is pleasantly situated on the Panhandle pike, just across the river from the pumping station of the water works, for the purpose of spending a few days with his sister, Mrs. Simpson, and family, and as he jokingly stated before some friends yesterday "to have a fish once more with the boys." This morning at the usual hour the family arose, and at the breakfast table one of his nephews, Denny Simpson, stated that he intended going to the river and seining for fish. His uncle, the deceased, then spoke up and said that he believed he would take along the old army rifle and see if he could not have some luck in shooting fish.

Accordingly, after breakfast, Denny Simpson and a boy named Arch Slawson, together with Captain Glover, started for the river which is situated about one-half mile west of the house. After getting to the river the boys went down a steep embankment and cast their seine, leaving the Captain sitting on a log upon the bank of the river. The boys state that they were busily engaged in fishing, and did not pay much attention to the Captain, but the last time they saw him alive he was sitting on the log with the rifle down in front of him on the ground. The river bank at that point is quite steep, and the boys were just able to see the Captain from their position down at the river. They had not seined long, however before their attention was attracted by a loud report, and on looking up to where the Captain had been sitting could see that he had rolled off the log and was lying beside it.

Fearing that something ter rible had happened him, they dropped their seine and ran to where he was lying. Here a horrible sight met their gaze, Weltering in his own blood, which oozed from a terrible wound in his mouth, lay the Captain, with the barrel of the gun tisrhtlv grasped in his hand. He was yet breathing, but it was evident that the little spark of life yet remaining was fast ebbing away. While of course no one saw the shoot ing. still the general conjecture and be lief is that the Captain after sitting down on the log, had allowed the gun muzzle pointing towards him to rest on the in clining ground before him, and that in pulling it forward towards him the trig ger had caught on a twig, thus causing it to go off.

The sad accident has cast a gloom over the entire citv, as Captain Glover stood exceedingly high in the estimation of those who knew him, That he should have met his death in this terrible manner is also a surprise, as the Captain was always noted as being unusually careful in everything that he undertook to do. The coroner stated that upon investigation he found that the ball had entered the mouth a little to the left center, striking the upper teeth and cutting through the jaw, shattering it very much, passing up it went under the nose and to the top of the head, shattering the frontal bones and also the parietal bones to the extent of two and a half inches. The upper lip was quite badly burnt where the ball had entered the mouth but the mustache was hardly scorched. The coroner is of the opinion that the muzzle of the gun must have been very near the mouth when it went off The coroner also stated that a man present at the inquest, who had been in the habit of going bunting with (japtain Glover, made the statement that it frequently was the custom of the deceased when out hunting and desiring to rest, to lean forward on his gun with the muzzle pointing towards him. From all circumstances connected with this case, it is now generally supposed that the Captain had sat down on the log on the hillside and unthinkingly had rested the butt of the gun on the ground with the mouth of the barrel either in his mouth or very near it, and in moving, the trig ger had caught on something, causing the gun to go off.

PROTECTION AND EXPORTATION. Cleveland Leader. A correspondent says he never could understand how protection, as claimed by free traders, precludes exportation, and wants to know why Republicans permit such a claim to remain unan swered. We believe the assertion has been answered a good many times. Protect ion may or may not preclude exportation.

It makes labor higher in price, and tends to restrain the exportation of goods in the manufacture of which other nations have equal advantages in the way of materials and facilities coupled; with cheaper labor. But even with higher priced labor we can still make a wide range of manufactured goods for export. The superiority of many of our goods is admitted, and gives them sale over cheaper goods of the same kind, and in some others we have virtually no com petitors. Protection on raw materials in some cases restrains the making of goods for export, when the foreign price of these materials is much lower than the price at home. The McKinley bill imposes a duty of only 1 per cent on the importation of raw materials for the production of goods for export, so that the free traders will have their mouths closed hereafter as to that.

All they can say after the bill passes is that the higher wages paid in this country preclude the making of some kinds of goods for export, to be sold in competition with the product of cheap foreign labor. Very well, let it go at that We are content We do not want to make any kind of goods for export if it requires a lowering of American wages and manner of living. The home market consumes over yt) per cent of our total products, and we can afford to choose what we will produce for export the articles that involve no reduction in wages.

The best medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past obliges us to admit that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact.

May 26. At o'clock yesterday morning the city was visited with a severe shock of earth quake. Large buildings were shaken, people were thrown out of chairs and out of bed and glass was shattered. The earthquake was preceded bv a loud rum bling sound. At the same moment the fire bells rang out and the whole city turned out, the excitement being in tense.

A small dwelling was burned. Later in the morning, when the excitement had hardly subsided, the fire bells again gave the alarm and a large brick building in the rear of the opera house was discovered to be in flames. It was occupied by Julius Cole as a laundry aud was entirelv destroyed. Another shock of earthquake was felt about noon, The shock was the most severe ever felt in this vicinity.
