STABLE
Hon. Binger Hermann ought to
make an eflicient commissi^tier of
the general land office, having had
much experience in that line of
official work. Coming from the
West he is posted on the needs of
this section of the country in which
are situated most of the public
lands, and this should be of benefit
to him in the administration of the
office. Mr Hermann's appoint
ment will be generally approved in
this state.
The action taken by the various
stock associations in the counties
tributary to the Cascade timber re
serve, in sending a delegate to
Washington to properly present the
matter to congress with regard to
allowing stock to graxe on the re
serve, is a good move. Over 40,-
000,000 acres have now been with
drawn for forest reserves, and un
less some of it is thrown open it
will cause a large’amount of dam
ages to thousands of people in all
the Rockv mountain and Pacitie
coast states.
It is net surprising that college«
and other educational institutions
I should lie sending protests to con-
1 gress against that clause of the new
, McKinley tariff bill which will put
a stop to the free entry of hooks for
the use of educational -establish
ments. If protests would do any
good they would be poured |ic
against almost every item in the
bill.
Some of the left-over appropria
tion bill< were rushed through the
house at a rate of about a millioc
dollars a ruiuute

-
The new tariff bill i8 principally
framed in the interest of naanufae-
turers. The wool grower« haye
been given all they asked for,
it is doubtful if the very high dutie«
proposed on (wools will be of muck
advantage to them, because they
will not be able to control the price.
| That will be fixed by the big buy
ers and speculators. Even if the
wool growers receive some little
benefit,it will be small in compari
son with the vast aggregate increas
ed cost of woolen goods to consutn-
res As for other agricultural in
terests, all talk of their protection
by a tariff law is simply absurd.
Duties on agricultural products are
merely a “sop to cerberus,” a “tub
to a whale,” a patronizing pat on
the back which the sharper give«
to the flat with one (hand while he
picks his pocket with the other.
But the bill might be worse; it will
be well to pass it at once and be
| done with it.—Welcome.
The democrats. populists and sil
ver republicans of Michigan are
working in perfect unison, and have
uominated the same candidates for
sumpreme judge and regents of
state institutions te be voted for at
the coining election in that state.
