In wliich decisión Mr. Debs shows much w isdotn. He ought to have arrived at that conclusión sooner. It would have saved miuch trouble. The McKiivLey bill, with its high protective duties, just yieMed enougli revenue itx pay the expenses of the goverament nnd provide a fund for the redeniptiun of our outstanding boude. llnw can the Wlüson bill, with greatly reduced schedules, increase the revenue without greatiy Lncreasing hnportation ? With greatly inricascd inipmtation, how can the inarket.s for our home maiiuiactures be kept up ?- The Texas Miner. In demanding protection for their sheep, the wool raisers of California have simply nsked for justiee. Any tariff biU Whlch places American wool on tlie'ree list and dooms American flocks to Rlaugiiter is infamously uujust. The liorthern and western slieep gi-ower has precisely the same ïiüht to protettioiii as the southern sugar and rice planter, anuí no measuire wliic-h denles that riuht should ever be permitted to pass the American isenate.- Burlington Hawkeye. 'i lic Dutcli. when they carne to New Amsterdam, were alarmed lest some dcstruetive element Khould come ainonii -iliein. Bo they erected, overlooking New York Harbor, a large - a warning to all colonista who oame tlmt they must obey the lawe or die. To-day tliere should le raised a sigm of admonition at our ianmigrant stations ito the human rubbish coming üiere year after year. Let it be the American flag ■waviing frotn a thousaawl placee, that it may be tJie ilrst objeet which catches the eye of ,tJie new-comer to our shores. Tlie niaturalized foreigner must love Trat ome einblem- tdie Stars and Stripes. If Jie does, our future is secure. - Xorthvüle Record. If the republicans of Washtenaw county Kle.ire success they must get together, and pull together. This idea of fhiding fault with the vill of t.h: inajority is not good republicau politie. The jast must be buried and the future only looked to. A miistake made by nny republicaa s.liouM not be eterna-ïly treasured up aga.iaist ihian. A parent receives back Ilis '.hiild tliouglï he may have erred many times. So the republiean party caramot ostracize anj' one w.ho belives in ite principies and' desires to act in its ranke. The success of republicau principies is tlie first thing for ropaiblicans .to look to, personal feeüngs should be cast aside in the coming oampaign. The assassiination of President Carnot belongs to the new olass of political crimes that have been perpetrated withiin the last half of this oentury. Tlie killing of Henry IV. by Ravailiao and the Prkice of Orange by Balthazar Gerard, were acts of religious famaticisan. The assas6ins of two American preeidents were not actuated by the motives of the anarchiste. The various attempts upon the life of Napoleon III. by Orsinl amd later Ty the omissaries of llazzina, were lai-gely personal, intended to exprese antagomlsm to a policy rat lier tiha.n a social conditton. But the killing oi PrasMent Carnot was aimedas a blow at society, law, and goveniiment. It was the act of a class of mem who think that they possess lan absolute specific for doing away with all the ills of life, and they can only put it in practice by íirst entirely demolishing the present stmeture Of society. These new motives tfor criminal deeds, can not gain a great foothold among the Anglo-Saxoins., and those nations will Ésurely rise la-nd crush all such foreign ideas out of their body politie.
