h. THE DAILY PTCAYUNE NEW ORLEANS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1892. THE FORCE BILL THE MAIN ISSUE. The force bill is really the issue on which the Republican national campaign is being made. It is indeed the only issue on which the Republican leaders can rest, for the doctrine of protection to American labor has become so complete a failure in the light of the widespread labor troubles that it must be abandoned.

If under the magnificent protection promised by the McKinley tariff American labor is so nn prosperous and so much dissatisfied that strikes for more money and shorter time are the general rule, then it is useless to preach to the people the benefits of protection, and some other issue must be found, and that a sectional one, upon which to make the presidential campaign. There are more voters in the North than in the South, and if the Northern people can only be arrayed against those of the South the South will be beaten again. The force bill furnishes a sectional issue, and about the only one available, and therefore that has been adopted, This is all set forth in the New Haven Palladium, the leading Republican paper of Connecticut. We quote from a long editorial expression on the subject Whether thigh tariff, as claimed by the Republicans, or a low tariff, as claimed by the Democrats, is tha better policy for the country. Is a question upon which men may differ conscientiously, and their views, if intelligently held, will be governed by the business In which they are ens aged, the section of the country in which they live, or the education, in political eoonomy they have received.

The question of free suffrage and honest elections, however, is thoroughly a moral question, and is otherwise one that takes hold of the foundations of onr system of government. There la no donbt whatever that the Bepnbllcan party of to day looks upon the question of free suffrage and honest elections as the most important before the eountry. A large majority of the members of both the Republican and Demooratio parties believe in free suffrage and honest elections, bat the two parties differ radically concerning the best method of insuring that which all lovers of our form of government desir. The Demooratio party believes that questions of suffrage and eloe tions should be remitted to the several States The Republican party, on the contrary, is committed to the theory that free and honest elections can be best secured through federal legislation and the protection of the Federal Government. Nearly all of the Republican leaders at Washington stand upon the doctrines of the Minneapolis platform.

The Republican party believes these rights of the citizens can be beat secured through the action of Congress, enforced by the executive department of the National Government. The administration of Mr. Harrison baa heen committed for three years to the doctrine that a federal election law is necessary for a maintenance of the electoral rights of the citizens. Senators Piatt and liawley are committed by their speeches and their vote in tho Be date to this dootrine. If Mr.

Harrison is reelected, as we believe and trust he will be, there is no donbt that the most earnest efforts of his administration will be extended toward the passage of a federal election law by Congress similar to that wbloh passed the House of Representatives of the last Congress. Thus we have the policy and intention of the Republican leaders fully stated in plain and temperate terms, but the statement is all the more formidable for that reason. The tariff issue is abandoned as one of minor importance. The working classes are to be left to shift for themselves while the campaign for the control of the Government is to be made on the basis of an intention to take away from the States the right to make their own laws regulating suffrage, and to replace it with federal dictation executed by posses of United States marshals or federal soldiers. And while the Southern people are frittering away their strength in foolish factional disputes in the interest of agitators and office seekers, they are in danger of losing some of the most important rights of self government and home rule.

This is a most formidable campaign for the Democratic party. Let it lose control of Congress this session and it will never have another opportunity to regain it, Place the State elections for Congressmen under federal control, which will mean the control of the lie publican party, and there will never be another Democratic Congress. That is all there is of it. Let the Southern people, who are running away after the Farmers' Alliance and the Third party and other strange political hallucinations, take this to heart. GERMANY STRIVING FOB SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

According to recent advices Germany has concluded commercial treaties with the United States of Columbia and Hay ti, which will accord German trade interests favored treatment. Germany has been for some time back jealous of the growing influence of the United States in South American affairs, and ever since the reciprocity treaty policy was adopted the Government of that country has displayed a strong fear that the European nations would be sooner or later prevented from trading with South America on an equality with this country. That Germany has been seeking for some time past to offset any possible advantages our reciprocity treaties might give ns by negotiating treaties herself with the Latin American States has been well known, and the success met with in Hayti and Colombia is evidently but the first step, as the energetic Germans are endeavoring to effect arrangements with others of the South American States. An influential German publication entitled "Knhlow's." expresses editorially great gratification over the success in Colombia. It asserts that the South American Republio exports but a single article that might possibly compete with German products, namely, sugar; but as Germany produces so much sugar herself, there is probably little reasons, adds the German paper referred to, to fear competition even in sugar.

The treaty is therefore regarded as a very good thing for Germany, as it will insure German goods a. sure footing in Colombia, while it will effectually prerent any other power from in the future securing more favored treatment than Germany. The treaty with Colombia, says Knhlow's, will give a start to the other South American States, and it is a good counter move to the Pan American policy of the United States. The editor of the aggressive German journal hopes that his Government will proceed further and seek to secure treaties with other Sooth American Republics. He particularly advises that those States be approached which have cause for unfriendly feeling toward the "Great Republic." such as Venezuela and Chili, while he predicts that Argentina would also prove good working ground.

All these countries, it is pointedut, produce goods which are freely consumed in Germany, while reciprocity arrangements could be made with the German Empire, which would not, as in the case of the United States, involve the necessity of replacing tariff duties by levying burdensome direct taxes. It will thus be seen that we now have an active competitor fox trade of South America, and as the German merchants are energetic and are. probably better posted as to the needs of South America than our own, we will have to bestir ourselves if we do not desire to to see Europe rendering our reciprocity policy of little value. SURPASSING OCEAN RECORDS. Yesterday was an exceptional day in maritime circles as no less than two records on prominent ocean routes of travel were lowered.

Tho building of fast steamships for the purpose of shortening the time of ocean voyages so as to deliver troth passengers and freight at their destinations as speedily as possible, has become one of the most pronounced features of business enterprise of recent years, hence the breaking of the time record on any of the important routes is a matter of general interest. The first record broken yesterday was that for the voyage between New York and Qneenstown, the usual route of most of the fast passenger packets engaged in the transatlantic traffic The fastest time recorded heretofore was made by the steamship Teutonic, which made the voyage in 5 days 21 hours and 22 minutes. Yesterday the City of New York, of the Inman Line, one of the ships soon to be registered as an American ship and fly the American flag, arrived at Queenstown, having made the trip in days and 20 hours, that is 1 hoar and 22 minntes faster than the voyage has ever been previously made. Of coarse the lowering of a time record by little more than an hour is intrinsically not a very important event and would probably make little difference to passengers or freight, but the continual striving to shorten the time of the ocean trip, which tho frequent lowering of the record by small fractions of days represents, brings about in the course of years a very considerable redaction in the time of the voyage. We have only to remember the great saving in time that has been accomplished during the past five years to gauge the possibilities of the future as long as the record breaking competition is kept up.

The other record broken yesterday was the time of the sea trip from New Orleans to New York. The new steamer El Sad, of the Morgan Line, made the trip from port to port in 4 days 11 hours and 40 minutes. This is only 55 minutes faster time than was made by the steamship EI SoL of the same lino, in July, 1891; but when it is remembered that the El Snd is on her maiden voyage the importance of the achievement will be perceived. Good authorities on maritime affairs state that new ships rarely make the best speed until they have been in service sufficiently long to get their machinery running smoothly. It is therefore argued that if the El Sad broke all previous records on her first trip she can be depended on to shorten the time very materially after she has been in service for an entire season.

The steamship El SoL of the Morgan Line, made the trip between New Orleans and New York in 4 days 12 hours and 25 minntes in July, 1S91, and the Louisiana, of the Cromwell Line, established a record of 4 days and 13 hours in July, ,1890. There is, therefore, no scarcity of fast ships engaged in the coastwise trade of this port, and this city is justly proud of these fine vessels, as they are not only sis speedy as any that fly the American flag, but they contribute, in no small way, to the commercial importance of the port. The question of speed is a matter of no small consequence to the Morgan Line of ships, as the Southern Pacific Company, to which the ships belong, is enabled, because of the fast time made by the vessels, to deliver freight from New York to San Francisco in several days shorter time than any of the all rail transcontinental routes. SECURITY FOR INDUSTRIES. The propriety and practicability of establishing an authoritative tribunal for the adjusting of disputes concern, ing the rates of wages between employers and employes deserve to be widely canvassed.

It is held by some that such a court would be unconstitutional, bat there is no inhibition or declaration against it in the constitution. The controversies that Would be brought before it are of such a nature that they may well become the subject of judicial examination. They are matters which not only are capable of producing widespread social disorder and industrial disorganization and pecuniary loss if not brought to authoritative adjustment, but they have by reason of failure to provide for such settlement already wrought such destruction of property, such loss of life, such disturbance to commerce and industries, such shaking up of the foundations of social order, that the resulting disorganization has caused muoh distrust of the stability of onr free institutions. If. then, there is no power in the State and national legislatures to provide any efficient remedy for these great and growing evils, our political system is indeed dangerously defective.

The States should first essay a solution of the problem, else, confessing their impotence to deal with it. they may surrender to the Federal Government a vital principle of inherent right of home role and regulation of their internal order. We repeat that the subject should enjoy the widest discussion, so that it may be considered from every point of view, and all its limitations and possibilities be learned. The vast industries of the country cannot be left to drift through the storms of anarchy and of despotism. Either of those evils threatens shipwreck and devastation of the most important interests.

To Hunt Down the Brigands. It Is laid that the Italian Government is making preparations for an organized attempt this fall to exterminate the brigandage In the marshes. Many persona follow it as a regular profession. Their leader, Tibuiii, is known to have committed twenty three murders in the last ten years, and is suspeeted of twelve more. Several weeks ago he was reported dead, bat on Monday a Naples detective caught a glimpse of him, and on Tuesday he was seen on the road by several persons.

There is a price of 10,000 lire on his head, yet nobody la eager to eaten him. Consequently about 600 troops will be sent oat to beat the marshes tor him and his gang. Declines to Fight.

One Hundred and Forty one Rattlers.

A snake story of extraordinary dimensions comes from Kentucky. Timothy Gates) and his wife, who dwell in a small cabin at Gates Station, were arooaed the other night by the barking of their dogs.

The voice of the dogs were soon hashed in death. Mr.

Gates dared not get oat of bed till daylight, for fear lest some ot the snakes had made their way into the house. When morning came he found hand reds of snakes In the yard. He managed to hall a passing neighbor, who collected other armed with guna and whips, and after an hour' battle the snakes were driven off. after 141 of them had been killed. Eleven dog fell victims to the reptiles.

Lippal. a distinguished Hungarian painter now living in Venice, haa finished a portrait of th young King Alexander of Servia, which ia to bang in the royal apart ments at Belgrade. The likeness so pleasad the youthful monarch and the regents qf Bervia that the artist hasbecn commissioned to paint two additional portraits ot Alexandria, one for the emperor of Austria and tbe other tor the emperor of Russia. M. Lippal recently finished a liken ess ot the archbishop of Venlo, which gave him considerable fame in Italy When a sailing master wishes to buy oysters In the ports ot the Chesapeake he runs up to the maathsad an oyster basket, and presently ha plenty offered at tbe vessel's side.

Down at Chlneoteague Island the basket at the masthead Is sometimes accompanied by a flag of concentric squares in different colors. During the closed season for oyster the basket and flag Indicate that the master wishes to buy clams. The Chlneoteague clam digger works daring the greater part of the year, and a very spry man la a spot where clams ar thloa can tread out a great many hundred in a day. Clams fetch from si to II 50 per 1000 at Chin ooteague. which sms a great deal for the money when one thinks of clam elowder at a fashionable restaurant.

A Now Yorker, taking a Sunday stroll not tar beyond th city limits, was surprised at the conduct of two score of sparrows that flattered in the air a foot or so above a bare rock in th midst of an empty pasture. Now and than a bird would light on tho rock, bat most of tho time the grayish brown flock poised uneasily Just over the spot. It looked at first as it the birds were catching insects, though none waa viaible. On tbe human Intruder's nearer approach the birds still In the air took flight, and almost aa many more sprang oat of the grass Immediately about the rock. At the same instant th head and rapidly moving tongue of a large blaoksnake became visible Just behind the rook, and he, too, made off.

It waa apparently a clear case of bird charming by the enake. I Among the American notables In London this aummer baa been Bishop, Phillips Brooks, ot Massachusetts. He haa preached In Westminster Abbey and several prominent ohurohes, and has always won golden opinions from crowded congregations. it is said that tbe republican divine objects very strongly to being called "My lord." and on one occasion when aa English clergyman asked him to preach in his church, interlarding his remarks with "My Lord" and Your lordship at every turn. Dr.

Brooks replied brusquely, decline to preach In your church, sir," and turned aw ay in deep disgust. Garden Cady. at the age of 10. ia still in demand as violinist and prompter at dances in and around Central Village, as he has been for more than half a century. Gur den Is prepared, to some extent, for the inevitable, for he had set ap years ago a shaft of his own design.

On one side is carved a violin, and above it. "All ready. Mr. Cady, and below It, "At rest." On the opposite Bide is out a cow, with "Rosle, my first Jersey cow," above, and below. "Record, 3 lbs.

Harper'a Weekly: Tbe rules that govern good oonduot In an Individual are those that should prevail In the offices of newspapers. There is news enough in the world in which the publio to rightly interested to fill the columns of our newspapers every day In the year; but the trouble is that gossip and scandal are often more interesting than matters of real moment. The rule of gentlemanly conduct ought to be the role of the editor and publisher as, bappily, it very often to and, a Judge Wallace wisely pointed out, mere gossip and soandal mon geriog are not excused by the answer that the patrons of a newspaper want what they ought not to have.

Philadelphia Ledger A paragraph was started on ite rouada some time ago that has done Injustice to a patriot's memory. It was to the effect that Matthew Thornton, a signer of th Declaration of Independence, became an English sympathizer, after the war with Great Britain, and that bis bones are now lying In a dishonored grave in a Canadian border village, Thornton never wavered In his loyalty to the cause of the colonists, and died ullbf honors at New buryport In 1803. Above bis gravo at Thornton's Ferry. N. stands a marble slab inscribed with his name and age, and the epitaph "An Honest Man." Farther more, the New Hampshire legislature In 1887 voted Siooo tor a monument to be placed over hia grave.

In introducing his paper on "Washington, the Evergreen State," in Harper's Weekly tor September, Julian Ralph says: "I have called Montana the "Treasure and have shown that it Is vastly larger than Pennsylvania, with prospectively many times its wealth In minerals and in the variety of its resources. Bat muoh that we find promised in Montana la amplified within th territory ot Washington. The hopeful inhabitants of the former boldly adopt the motto. 'The last shall be as if to ay that amid the riches of which they find suggestion and promise all around them, they see for themselves a greater wealth producing future than is boasted at present by any of the older states. I cannot follow them so far.

There to a certainty that Washington has mora varied resources than Montana, and I think that, with or without irrigation. Washington will support a larger population; bat with both states It is too early for closer Speaking of eggs, her la the little experience of a finical man, showing tbe dooeitfulaes of his fellow beings and the futility of trying to force moral results. 00 Now being finical. 1, folJelTT55 of course that this msnskonii his egga not only freh, b1 order to issue this, heoflJ. 1' 3 dealer a fancy prloa and with a red p.rWnts kfc.
