Tho tariff conywsiSh is unqucjf
tionably eliciting a vast volume of
information from tho representatives
of special interests, and arc doubt
lessly being1 amazingly onlightened
as to the cunningost methods of tax
ing ono class of citizens for the bene
fit of another. Tho arguments being
mado before them by tho presidents,
superintendents, agnts and feed at
torneys of speoial industries, must
naturally run in tho groove of a nar
rowed and selfish 'policy, and while
they may familiarize tho commission
with each particular industry present
ed for their consideration, they will
scarcely enable it to discriminate bo
tween the private and restricted in
: terests of the particular classes and
the broad catholic rights and inter
ests of tho general public. That
these arguments and statements are
full of interest, both to tho commiss
ion and tho peoplo, no ono will deny,
but are thoy calculated to oxpand the
views of the commissioners and so
enlighten them as to fit thoir minds
or form thoir inclinations to formu
lato a system that shall have duo re
gard for the people's side of tho
question? Shese representatives of
specialties do not argue tho effect of
their protection on other interests,
nor indeed are thoy expected to look
after .other interests than their own.
Their statements are confined to the
estimated advantages to thoir own
special business and their argu
ments are necessarily ex parte
Thoy show how the tariff affeots
the private or special interest they
represent, and their arguments aro so
shaped as to convince tho commis
sion that tho tariff ought tp be so
adjusted as to afford amplo proteo
tion and tho largest proportion of
, advantage to thonlsolves. I liuy arc
not concerned in tho rights and in
terests of tho masses of tho peoplo.
They seem profoundly impressed with
the fact that the commission was or
ganized in the interests of the pro
tectionists and monopolists, and it
never for a moment ocours to them
that the fifty-odd millions of people
of the common country have any
rights or interests that tho commis
sion is bound to respect. Tho fact
that this olas3 of persons were spe
cifically invited to appear before the
commission to onlightcn it as to tho
workiugs of the tariff, is ovidenoe of
a purpose to give more concern to
the protection of tho "infant indus
tries" than to tho interests of the
people at large. Tho commission
has thus far praotioally confined its
hearings to those speoial interests,
and so far as the publio knows tho
great questions of political economy
and the science of government as it
relates to revenues have beou totally
ignored. To quote a valued ex
change: "To-day it is tho steel man
ufacturers who toll tho commission
how tho tariff ought to be arranged
to suit them; to-morrow it is tho silk
manufacturers; next day it is tho
sugar refiners; and the day after it is
the sugar growers. Then come in
regular order, tho Eastern pot
tery manufacturers, the woolon
manufacturers, the knit-goods manu
facturers, tho wood-sorow manufac
turers, the paper manufacturers, and
and a procession of other manufac
- turers having their establishments in
tho East, all eager to convlnco tho
commission that tho tariff which pro
tects them respectively ought to be
made higher; or, at least, ought not
to be made lower. These special in
terests aro ablo to act promptly and
efficiently in presenting their claims
before tho commission, but thosa on
whom these protective duties fall
likei an indirect tax, tho consumers
of tho country, have no hearing be
fore tho body."
There is some hopo, however, that
the very conflict between tho favored
industries, and their unseemly scram
ble for special advantages in tho re
vision of tho tariff, will successfully
discover to tho commission how a
proteotivo duty which enables one
manufacturer to plunder injures an
other, and how tho complexity, tho
selfishness, tho sectional and partial
character, and tho utter unreason
ableness of tho whole protectivo sys
tem, operates to tho detriment of the
government and the people, and re
sult in tho gradual abolition of a
policy founded on favoritism on one
side and injustice on the other.
A IUUI1TEOU8 AOriOX.
Such do wo term the action of tho
people on last "Wednesday morning,
f hoy organized, escorted their men
boforo a regular justice of the poaco,
gavo thorn a fair hearing, in which
tho men only furnished additional
proofs of their guilt, recovered tho
stolen treasure, and then, in orderly
ranks, took the confessed and con
victed murderers, and hanged them.
That thero was no unreasoning mob
in tho affair is shown in tho fact that
in tho prison from which Grimes and
Hawley woro taken there wero sov
eral horse thieves and other crimin
als held for serious crimes, those men
woro unharmed; wero left to bo pun
ished by the law. Their vcrgeanco
was directed against nono savo me
fiends who now, with their victims
lie upon the silent hillside. Our best
citizens, our foremost residents, par
ticipated in tho movement, and our
entire population approved of 't.
" But," some ol our readers may
say, "would not the law inflict a suffi
cient punishment?" rf might, but
tho case is dubious. Law is popu
larly supposed to bo tho path of
Justice, but it is infested by high
waymen, so that if Justice takes that
devious road, thero aro many chances
that she will bo robbed of her pris
oner. The cases would havo been brought
boforo the District Court, been post
poned a term or so, until tho most
important prosocuting witnesses had
left the country, until publio feeling
over tho atrocity of tho crime had
been smoothed down by the hand of
Time, and would then havo been
brought before a jury necessarily
knowing but little of tho deed; an
eloquent attorney would feelingly
address tho jury in behalf of tho
prisonors, would confuso the oppos
ing witnesses with a fire of questions,
and the case would bo likely to end
in sentences of ten years or so being
inflioted. None can deny this, and
now wo ask: Whioh is preferable,
swift retribution or slow and doubt
ful punishment in the dim future?
In minor cases theso "legal" actions
aro always submitted to by the
people, but in crimes as black as
those perpetrated last Sunday, mod
eration finds no placo in the breast of
any honest citizen, and it is with a
fierco joy that he assists the assassins
upon their journey to eternity.
Globe Chronicle.
A oood deal of attention has been
aroused over tho value of oaths in
legislatures and courts by the Brad
laugh caso in England sand other
events emphasizing what has been
for some time a growing feeling in
regard to tho validity of such a pro
caution against falsehood and un
faithfulness. In tho current number
of the North American Review,
Judge Edward A. Thomas discusses
the subject in the light of practical
experience. In his judgment the
-onth alioulil Ue .cntiroljr dispensed
with, as doing more harm than good.
He declares that the conscientious
man will tell the truth, when legally
called upon to do so, as thoroughly
without oath as with it; and that dis
honest porsons are seldom restrained
by tho utmost solemnity of form. .In
short, ho believes that the oath has
lost its force us a restraint, and is
merely the formula of an exploded
superstition. This will hardly bo the
conclusion of thoso who attend the
courts, and it cannot bo honestly said
that there is not a considerable class
who aro influenced by it to the de
groe of telling the truth, when other
wise they would not. That its force
is neither so strong nor universal as
it used to bo is also evident, and
where criminals or interested parties
aro testifying in their own behalf, it
is littlo more than a mockery. As a
theoretical it would be well if ro
ligious suporstition were not dragged
in to the support of honesty, but as a
practice it will probably bo continued
as long as thero is faith in its effi
cacy. The multiplicity of oaths,
however, might bo diminished in this
country, as is being done in Europe,
without harm to tho forco of law and
improvement to tho sentiment of re
ligious reverence, which is unques
tionably harmed by their use on
frivolous and unmeaning occasions,
in whioh they aro given and taken as
a mere matter of form.
The Democratic County Central
Committee, in its deliberation on
Tuesday night, acted wisely. The
two main resolutions passod, covered
all tho debated ground, and asserted
a sure remedy against fraud. The
first provides that tho presidents of
tho clubs, assisted by tho advice of
tho secretaries, have authority to
erase from tho club rolls all names
not properly belonging thoro. Tho
second recomends that where the roll
of any club is neither inaccessible for
voters, or being only manipulated,
tho Democrats of tho respective
wards iorm a second club, tho met its
of eaoh and all to bo determined by
tho county convention, whon it
meets. Theso resolutions, if proper
ly carried out, will do away with tho
possibility of fraud, and render tho
will of the majority paramount.
Thoso wlio now rofuso to hanr.onizo,
may be counted as non-believers in
an honest ballot.
There is a whispered report that
Henry C. Dibble is not an enthusias
tic advocato of the election of De For
rest Porter.
A Roman Catholic Bishop at Three
Rivers, Canada, has issued a pasto
ral against bangs and frizzes on the
part of the' females of his flock on
pain "of excommunication. And not
long ago, females were banished from
tho choir by tho same austoro func
tionary. This is carrying things with
a high hand. Tho bishops in the
Roman Catholio Church lay down
the law, but it is safe to say that in
matters of taste, ladies should be
left to judge for themselves. Tho
fashions are always changing, not
only in dress, but in the arrangement
of the hair and tho wearing of orna
ments, and even tho church may find
it is stretching its authority too far
when it commands ladies to abjure
those little habits and modes which
good society prescribes. While we
are all willing to admit that the wear
ing of bangs exhibits a detestable
taste on the pa-t of iadies, still thoy
should be allowed to rcgulato their
own personal adornment without
suggestion or command from priest
or prelate.
The suspicion is becoming general
that Dorsey never sent the impudent
letter alleged to have been written
by him to Garfield, but that it is a
recent product designed to secure
the sympathy of President Arthur
for tho star route thieves. It is
argued that although Dorsey may be
a rascal ho is not a fool, and would
never have written such a letter to a
President whose favor he was anxious
to secure. Tho belief that Dorsey
wrote the letter within the last few
days and antedated it, secures sup
port from the statement of Colonel
Bliss, that at tho time the letter was
dated Dorsey held entirely different
views from those which the letter ex
presses. But whether the letter was
bona fide or not it gives good evi
dence of Dorsey's character and of
the methods which aro resorted to
among "praotioal politicians" to over
ride high considerations of state for
the gratification of personal spite and
the furtherance of factional jeal
ousies. Again the Indian question is com
ing home to roost. The slaughter of
industrious settlers in the Sonoita
and Santa Cruz valleys, chronioled
in our news columns yesterday, is
sufficient to make one's blood run
cold. Tho government, if not actu
ally, is certainly indirectly respon
sible for the lives and property thus
sacrificed. The temporizing policy
of the government has done more to
encourage Indian outbreaks than
even the tameless blood that flows in
the aborigines' veins. Eastern sen
timentalists and Sunday-school pro
fessors haye dictated the Indian
policy of the government, instead of
the western pioneer, who is compe
tent to judge of the Indian character
by practical experience. Just as long
as tho present Indian polioy is ad
hered to, tho lives of sottleis will be
at stake, and their hard earned
accumulations a prey for Apache
rapacity.
It is to be hoped that the Derro
crats of the county will select dele
gates to the convention whoso sde
aim and ambition will be to nominate
omdidates who can draw out a f'lll
party vote. This can only be dene
by nominating men for tho differ 311 1
offices whose ability to discharge tho
functions peitaining thereto is un
questionable. There is not a doubt
but that tho county of Cochiie is
Democratic by a handsome majority,
and it devolves on tho convention to
place candidates before tho people
worthy of party support.
When tho Democratic County
Convention meets, much care should,
be exercised in the appointment of
the committee on credentials, as it
may be called upon to decide dis
puted representation from various
precincts. Testimony as to alleged
fraud may have to be taken, requir
ing time and good judgment. It is
to bo hoped that thero may be perfect
harmony, and there aro no good
reasons why there should not be. A
fair ballot is all that is required.
The average Cochise county Re
publican is about as uncertain as a
woman's temper. A few months ago
a iiost of them were rejoicing ba
causo Porter was driven off the bench
in disgraoo. Now, the weight of
their intellect is directed to the her
culean task of finding out whether
ho is a saint or an angel.
Senator Hoar issues an address
to the peoplo of Massachusetts de
fendincr his voto on the rirer and
harbor bill. But tho people havo
had enough of Hoar, all tho same,
and will teplaco him, in good time,
by a man whose statesmanship does
not grovel 111 tne teed trough.
There is no let-up to the news
paper talk about the river and har
bor bill. The Congressmen who
thought it was not going to be much
of a storm after all, are out with
boat hooks trying to hold on to
their fence.

lleKsins'K Death li-iileil.
Los Anqei.es, August !I0. Dan
H. Barling, of Guaymas, a mining
partner of Boss Hessing, who arrived
in this city to-day, says that tho
reported killing of Hessing is a
canard. He left Hessing but a few
days ago, miles away from tho scene
of "tho murder. IIo says the report
grew out of the killing, by Apaches
of two men named Chord and Noble,
whom Hessing had sent to Guaymas
to procure money to pay off his
hands. Dan Barting further denies
all tho stories in circulation in refer
ence to the revolution in Sonora. He
savs the government has merely
called out troops to suppress the
Apaches, who have recently becomo
bad in that state. Dan Barting, says
direct railroad connection will be
made between Benson and Guaymas
in a few days.

by A. C. Hessing's family regarding
his alleged death. Tho Staats Zeit

and Mr. Washington Hessing
concurs in this opinion, arguing that
the consul would not telegraph a
contradiction except on positive
information.

much for humanity and so much for
freedom as the Republican party had
accomplished by enlightened law
during the past twenty-seven years.
But the party could not live on its
tradition; it must drink anew of the
orignal fountain of its inspiration.
Wo must meet new questions with
the old courage. t

kell, of Alameda, moved to amend,
by omitting the candidates for Su

hoped tho amendmont would not

Before tho Ilntlot.
Sacramento, Sept. 1. Estee, in
his speech before the ballot unreser
vedly endorsed tint platform, and
scoied tho railroad company in the
most vigorous manner. He said they
were a menace to the liberties of the
people, to commercial freedom and
eqnal distribution of government.
He had made no "promises, had not
spent a dollar to secure the nomina
tion, and would not do it to secure
his election. He pledged himself to
a faithful performance of duty.
Mayor Blake, speaking before the
ballot, approved of the platform in
its entirety; believed the people
needed protection moro than corpora
tions; had no intimacy with railroad
management and had received no
favors from them ; would
mike no pledges except
to the convention and to the people.
Referred to his publio record as his
best claim to the nomination. Russ
said he was not au orator, and would
not inflict a speech on the conven
tion. Ho was pledged to no one,
and endorsed every word of tho plat
form. Shafter spoko at some length
in au aransing style, saying that
about two thousand persons had told
him he had ought to be Governor and
United States Senator, but they had
never voted for him. Tho conven
tion then proceeded to ballot. Estee,
after the nomination, oontcnted him
self with thanking the convention at
some length, and saying that he had
no enmity against any one and be

cessful one.
