MISCHIEVOI'M REPKESEXTATIOX.
Congressman Boutelle, of Maine,
has been aroused by what lie regards
aa serious and mischievous misrepre
sentation of the leaders of the repub
lican party on the tariff question,
and expressed his views on the sub
ject In the following vigorous fashion :
"I have no patience,", continued
Mr. Boutelle, "with any republicans
who permit themselves to be cats-
paws by the democratic and mug.
wump newspapers that are laboring
to beiittle and break the force of the
great protection victory of 194, by
intimations that the republican party
has in some way weakened, or retro
graded from its former stand, upon
the tariff question. It is an old trick
of the democracy to invent a phrase
or catchword which they seek to
make odious by iteration, and then
use it as a bugatioo with which to
scare (timid and feather-bra in ed re
publicans. Weeding Kansas,'
'Woody Shirt' and 'Force Hill are
examples, and Just now, after the
degree of prosperity ever attained by
any people.
"The battle was fought squarely
on the Issue between the fruits of the
republican legislation of 1890 and
the paraiysU and disaster that fol
lowed the democratic Urlff-tmaahlng
assault upon that legislation. The
result of the battle, from Maine to
Iowa, from Connecticut to the new
states aud territories of the fur West,
has been so emphatic a verdict In
favor of protection that no political
party will ever dare to put free-
trade plank in Its platform, or ask
the? people to open the American
market for the products of the cheap
labor of foreign lands.
"Instead of retreating, the great
army of protection has advanced Its
standards and lifted them Tileher
than ever before. The demand for
the preservation of the American
market for the products of our own
industry, and for such protection as
will guarantee to American work
ingmen the greatest practicable di
versification of employments, and
the highest possible wages consistent
with the general welfare of the whole
people, has been uttered at the polls
this year In stentorian tones, and
any man, or set of men, In any party,
who disregard or aeek to misinter
pret that mandate will fail to muster
corporal's guard of supporters
among the Intelligent and patriotic
citizens who form the future hope
and safeguard of the republic."

"The transparent trick is to ask
some unsuspicious repuoncan
whether our party 'will re-enact the
McKinley law,' and, if he answers
that future conditions may indicate
some possible change of rate in some
item of some schedule, the demo
cratic paper instantly reports said re
publican as having declared that 'Mc
Klnlevlsm Is dead and that the
party will never think of restoring it.
Of course, the obvious purpose is to
get the impression abroad that the
republicans have repented of, or re
pudiated, the tariff legislation of 1890
as too pronounced in the line of pro
tection, and that the result of the
recent elections has caused the repub
licans to become conservative as to
the Importance of preserving our
home markets and encouraging our
own industries.
The falsehood of this pretense is
shown by every fact of the recent
campaign. Never before in political
history was there a contest In which
the main issue was made so over
shadowing, or Its triumph so pro
nounced, as In the elections of this
year, when the principles of protec
tion to Amerscan Industry received
the most overwhelming endorsement
ever given by the American people;
and it was not only a victory for
the principle, but a conTete triumph
for the system of republican protec
tion enacted in 1890, as against the
assault made upon It by the Wilson-
Brtee-aorman monstrosity enacted
by the democrats.
'The attempt to impart a preju
dice against the tariff resolution of
1890, by characterizing it as 'Mc
Kinleylsm,' and representing it as
something Indefensible, is an insult
to the republican congress that gave
to the country two years a0
what was incomparably the
wisest, most thoroughly systematized,
most carefully considered, and most
beneficial tariff legislation ever
framed. It represented not simply
McKinleylsm, but Aldrichism, Alli-
sonlsm, Reed ism and republicanism.
None of the leaders of the republican
party were then anxious to assign to
the distinguished chairman of the
committee of ways and means all
the responsibility for all the glory of
that great achievement of legislation
in the most difficult of all fields. It
was recogniited, with its splendidly
beneficent features, and Its unavoid
able but minor Imperfections, as the
work upon which the republican
party would appeal for the support of
the people; and while misrepresenta
tion defeated us at the elections held
bsfore Its effects were apparent, the
voters of the United States have this
year, with unparalleled emphasis,
denounced the warfare made upon it,
and commanded a return to the
principles and systems that gave the
Voited .tales In 1392 the higheet

disaster, writes from Lakeview,
under date of January 1st, giving
hurried, but accurate details of the
Christmas eve holocaust. He says:
"I shall endeavor to give you all
the data in my possession, which will
be accurate, having been noted by
menmpon the sceue after the fire, but,
owing to the fact that I am very busy
professionally, 1 cannot take time to
write of the disaster in detail, cloth
ing it In rhetoric calculated to bring
tears of grief aud sorrow for the suf
fering and disconsolate people of Sil
ver Lake, I shall, therefore, note
briefly the facts."
The following are the facts as stated
by Mr. Daly:
The population of Silver take and
the valley surrounding was about
250. The building that was con
sumed by the fire contulned about
160 people when the Are began. The
Are was caused by some one striking
his head against a lighted lamp,
causing the oil to take fire after it
was splashed out of the lamp by the
Jar. Just at that moment the peoplt
became so frightened that another
lamp, which was setting on an organ
in another part of the room, was
thrown to the floor and exploded
The building, being built of pine
lumlier, caught fire so rapidly that its
nterior was in a blaze in 1-mh than
two minutes, and in ix minutes from
the time it took fire it was so fur con
sumed thut all life within was ex
tinct. The list of the dead, as sriven
by the doet.ir, Is as follows:
Mrs. C. F. Abshire, David llulck,
Lela Ruiek, Kd Bowen, Fred Bulck,
Mrs. L. Coshow, Mrs. Jeff Howard,
Harry Howard, Bessie Howard,

movement which will probably take
the shsjie of a resolution In the next
legislature urging him to resign bis
position as a representative of Texas
iu the United States senate. The
specific complaint against Mr. Mills
is that he does not in any way repre
sent Texas, and sneers at all proposed
measures that are calculated to be of
benefit to the people of that state.
It Is charged that he treats people of
Texas when they iro to Washington
in a manner that shows his contempt
for them, or the business that called
mem mere. Individual cases are
cited, aud one of them Is that of Col.'
I). L. Malone, of this city, who was
snubbed by Mills wheu he called on
him in Washington. Another case
Is that of Hon. Win. Capps, who
received about the same treatment
that Col. Malone did. Besides this,
letters have leen received from Mr.
Mills in which he is said to have evi
deuced the utmost indifference and
contempt for the wants of the people
of this state; and when requested to
interest himself in behalf of a nation
al bankrupt law, which would bene
tit a large numU'r of the people he is
supM)sed to represent, he derided
the idea and dismissed it as un
worthy of his consideration. It i:
also charged against Senator Mills
that though he bus lived off tin
emoluments of office given him by
the people of Texas, lie refuses most
contemptuously to interest biiiis.ll
In any way in having a Texan a p.
pointed to any position, deeming
such mutters as being beneath tin
dignity of a man in his position.
Prominent men of this city are at
the head of the movement, and it Is
sttid have framed the resolution to be
introduced at the next sitting of the
state legislature. Who will bring
the resolution before the body is not
known, but it is said that Represen
tative Bailey, of this district, w ill do
so.

When Mr. Gladstone was chancel
lor of the exchequer, Sir Francis was
one day dining with the vicar of St.
Martin's) in -the-Fields, to which
church Mr. Gladstone used to igo
when living in Carlton House Ter
race; it was then that he heard this
story from the vicar. The vicar had
recently been to see a crossing
sweeper In his parish, who was ill.
Asking him if any one had lxsn to
s him, the sweeper rcplb-d : "Yes;
Mr. Gladstone." "Which Mr. Glad-
stone?" asked the vicar. "Mr, Glad
stone," repeated the poor invalid.
"But how came he to see you?" in
quired the vicar. "Well," answered
the crossing sweeper, "he always
had a nice word for me when he
passed my crossing, and when I was
not there he missed me. Heask'd
my mate, who had taken my place,
where I was ; and when he heard I
was HI he asked for my address, arid
when he was told he put It down on
paper. So he Caiied to sew me,"

It is stat.sl by Portland ice denlers
that this has been the best year for
business on the Keimel.ee since the
great season of 1S90. One man say
that some is four years old has Ls-eri
sold. "Tiiis is very unusual," say
the Portland Press. "Ice that is four
years old costs more to get out of the
house than it costs to cut it in the
first plais. For it is the Ice that Is at
the bottom of the house, and has
lc'n consolidated Into a solid mass
by the water flowing down from the
melting cakes above and freezing
these underlying cakes together. To
run out a block from this Is very dif
ficult, for it is like .marrying stone
from the solid ledge. It is a g')od
thing that it can lie sold, if only for
the cost of handling it, lcause it
must be got out of the building some
how. Generally they Is.re hoi. -s in
it with an auger, put in a stick of
dynamite and blow the ice into
fragments, which are then shoveled
out."
