I! i i ; i r I'KUYEllTlxU FACTO. President Harrison In very careless In tngklng statements in his public speeches at he "swings around the circle," or lie Is Ignorant oi the history o! legislation in congress. A few days ago we called at. tcntlon to his statement that "we have put coffee, tea and hides on the free list," when in truth, and in fact, (these articles have been on the free list for many years. Down In Tennessee and at other points in the south he said : "We have a common heritage. The confederate soldier has full, honorable, andjungrudged participation in all the ben. elits of a great and just government." This was said, as every one can see, for the purpose of courting favor with the confederates to make himself "6olld with them in his next campaign for the presi dency . But he should not resort to de ception or make anexhibitlon of ignorance about the matter. It Is all light, we sup pose for the president to repair his politi cal fences while swinging over the country but this repairing should not be done by sacrificing the facts of history. The truth is, that every confederate soldier Is abso lutely debarred from holding any position In the army of the United States, section mS of the Revised StatuttE, enacted on the aSth of July, 1S66, reading as follows: "No person who has served in any ca pacity in the military, naval, or civil ser vice of the so-called coi.federate states, or of either of the states in insurrection dur ing the late rebellion, shall be appointed to -Anv position In the army of the United jjtotes." The really significant feature of this matter Is, not the fact that Mr Harrison was guilty of a serious blunder cf ignor ance or forgetfulncss, but rather the fact that it was Mr Harrison's vol; In the senate five years ago this very month which turned the scales and kept on the statute book the most odious and galling ol all the discriminations which could possibly be placed upon the confederate soldier. On the 7th of April, iSS6, the senate was con sidering a bill to Increase the efficiency of the army, when Mr Gibson of Louisiana proposed an additional section repealing the section of the Revised Statutes just quoted, so that men who had served the confederacy might be eligible as ap pointees to the new places in the army created by the bill. W hen the vote was taker.,it resuited In 24 yeas for the amend ment repealing the statute and 25 nays. Among those recorded as absent was Mr Harrison, but he had taken the pre caution to make sure that his absense should net prevent his position on the question from appearing. The Cotignss inal Rcco'd contains this statement I Mr Berry (when '.he name of Mr Jones Ol Arkansas was called) My colleague Mr Jones of Arkansas Is paired with the Senator from Indiana Mr Harrison. If my colleague were here, he wonld vote 'Yea.' " Senator Dolph, "our Joe", made a speech on "protection" at a bunquet given by the Protective Tariff League at New York, Wed nesday evening, in which he said: The people of the Pacific coast understand that while New England manufacturers the wool grown upon the Pacific coast, her manu factures create a market for the Pacific coatt product, and not that alone, but for our food products also. The Senator has a design i.i this st&lemtnt to make farmers believe they, too, receive a a benefit from protection," but they are no longer to be hoodwinked by such clap trap. The food product of the Oregon farmer is wheat, the market for which is in Europe and not in New England. Mr Dolph can not be lieve his own statement. He knows better. It is not to his credit to make such a state ment, but he must have some kind of piop to stay the crumbling structure cf protectionism and the above seems to he the best he could obtain. The olfactometer recently exhibited to the Academy of S:i?nces in Paris is a little ap paratus for testing the smelling powers of in dividuals. It determines the weight of oJorous vapor in a cubi: centimeter of air which is perceptable by the olfactory sense of h person. In relation to his scheme for a tubular railway across the Strait of Do.'cr, Sir E G Reed points out that, unlike the tunnel, the tube can be destroyed, if required, with torpedoes or mines by the fleet, and hence could ncyer be used by an enemy to main tain the communications of an army of invasion. Six western utates show an increase in the winter-wheat acreage of 1,450,000 acres; Michigan, 5S,ooo Increase; Illinois, 12S,ooo increase, Indiana, 240,000 In crease; Missouri, 320,000 Increase; Kan sas, 527,000 increase, and Ohio, 177,000 increase. J ' i 'j One of the m t remarkable features of the presidents speeches which he is miking as he "swings around the circle" is the entire ab sence of any reference to the Force bill. Every endorsement of rtciprocitv is anen lorrement of free trade. Hear in minu that lllaine is one nf the most distinguished free traders ol the country. British gold in the hands ol the Cob.len Club is doing its mighty, telling work. CKKIHTAHI.i:, The Ortgoniau calls attention to the fat t that In the states of Connecticut, Rhcde Island, and New Hampshire the constitu lions require candidates to receive popular majorities, that Is a candidate for an olli.-e must receive rrtore votes than the aggro- gregate vote of all other candidates tnr the same oihee. Lnder this system the minority has been ruling for years in both Connecticut and Rhode Island. It Is creditable In the Ortgauhii to denounce this system as "utterly Incompatible with the theory of popular government." Year alter year the democrats of these states go to the polls and cast more votes for their candidates for governor and other 6tate officers than do the republicans for their candidates. Hut there are usually pro hlblilon and labor candidates who receive a few hundred votes and as the democrats are unable to cast more votes for fthclr candidates than for all others combined, the election Is thrown Into the legislature. Legislative districts are so gerrymandered that an ordinary "land slide would not Jen. able democrat to elect a majority of that body. Hence republican candldates.dtfeated byjthe people,are elected by the legislature, L.E.BLAIN'3 COLUMN. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE- To Geo V Patterson. A Uackleman.W V Crowder.
