We speak of one of these reductions ns the McKinley reduction la-cause it followed the enactment of that law. It Is Just ns fair to nasert that It was the result of that law ns that Iho re duction now lielng made Is the result of the passage of the new Democratic tariff liill.

But this same department so careful In the per formance of many of Its duUes, has shown itself to bo inconceivably cor rupt. The rule seems to have been that where crime could not be made profit able It was vigorously repressed; where It could bo made to yield large reve nues It was carefully fostered and "squeezed." The burglar, the.- thief, the ruffian were pursued, but Uio keeper of n disorderly house, the violator of tho liquor laws—all who administered to tbo vice of men tor money—were allowed to Ignore the law ou condition that they surrendered most of thu earn ing* of their nefarious business to the police. Tbo investigation now going an would never havo been undertaken but for tho pressure of public opinion. Its re sults ore such ns to gratify the public In demanding It and ought to lie suffi cient to prevent tho department from lapsing Into tlio old slate of rottenness after It has once been thoroughly puri fied. JAPAN’S WAR. Tlio Japanese plan of campaign seems to havo been, first, to clear the sens of the Cblneso ships, to selzo tbo moun tain passes at tbo northern end of tho Corona peninsula anil then kill or cap ture the Chinese troops which had al ready made a landing, bo far ns can be judged from tbo brief and vague dis patches this plan of cnrapnlgn has boon fairly well carried out The Chinese fleet Is kept in port rather than take tho chances of n battle, and ns loug ns this Is true Chinese reinforcements can not reach Corea by water. The latest dispatches show that the Japanese are In full possession of tlio mountain pusses at the north. As .laiiaucsc rein forcements are being hurried Into tho country, It now looks ns If tho third part In tho programme will bo carried out without any grant difficulty. Tho Cblneso must regain command of the sea or they must break through tho mountains nt tho north before they can go to the rescue of tholr comparatively small army ulrcndy In Corcn. Tie- success of Japan In this wnr Is desired, wo havo no doubt, by nearly nil civilized peoples. She represents In this war the fight of western civiliza tion ngnlmst tho degraded conserva tism of tho east. Slio Is herself tho most Tcmorknblo example of tho ex tent to which Western Ideas can lift n nation from the slough of despond anil put It in tho path ot progress. GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. The editor of tho Uuttoch Times hits the proper corooeprlon of the fln.nnil.ll situation in this country. lie says: "It seems almost Impossible for some peo ple to distinguish between opposition to unlimited coinage of stiver uml op position to the use of silver as coin.

Chronicle. There Is a wild DropL-ail to get con gress to pass a law Interfering with the freedom of contract enjoyed bl cit izens of this country. It Is proponed to nuke n contract to pay In gold money illegal. This Is udvoetUed by Populists and tho Atlanta Constitution. Tills is nil Interference with a man's freedom. If lie Is disposed to mnkdiv gold contract It Is ibouauae he tblplpQig attains eome'objeut which nukes tt-’to his Interest to proposo o pay In gold. It Is no hardship, so long as ull our money Is bn a unrlty, gold, silver and greenbacks. Tho oontmot Is so nude on Uie part of money lenders because they fear that we shall have money that Is not on a purity wtth gold. The way to avoid any hardship In such a contract is for the maker nnd the country to favor good monel-. But If a man In spite of these ohances. mukes n gold contract, It Is because he mints tho money even tit that price, arid there can -be' no good to him In preventing, him from getting money even on the«e terms. it -wl I be said, perhaps, that a man I* in a very hard place, or he would not I"- \w)l:tiK to moke ituoh ;l contract, nnd we ought to tryt o relieve people. It trill be impossible to relieve him by making him get the money without the d.v.idt UK.lK*- Of such n contract. Laws cannot force money-lenders to lend momfiy contrary tattle r wishes and In terests. The result or sucfli a law would bo to atop the money lender from put- bn,: "Ut III- money ; r: all. Thus such a k»w, like most lnterterences with the freedom of n citizen under the pretence of bnefittkig Jrim, would really harm him. It may be hard tor a. man to have to nmke u gold contract In order to get money -that he needs, but if he needs It, and he must e the Judge of Ws own business, K must be a great deal harder for him not to get it. This extmor nbout gold contracts comes from Populists and other flat money people. The AX burin. Constitution hr* dune all It can to popularize their Idea. It has, we believe, got the idea Into the heads of some people .such a law can Vrevenx them from being foivM by law to observe such a con tract after they have made U. Such a lav cou\I have no effcot on contract already made. Tho constitution of the United State* Pub hi* 1.1. ns from Interfering with con tracts already Jn.uk-. Tile law would be UDOOfistltuUaanl and the courtq would so pronounce It. slid the nun who had contracted to pay gold would have to pay It. The United Suites and the seip.trate states would promote dkhoneaty If they ntiled In the repudiation of contract* already made, Popullate nnd their nlllee who write In favor of such Kws wrap the Incite ment to dishonesty up In such a way e» to conceal Its true character, nnd a) some people are deceived as to the true nature ot this pngndUon. It la dis honest to not carry out contracts, nnd It 1* dishonest to try to get the govern ment to do it tor you. a;i such advisors should be repudiated with scorn yb all honest people. They carry out contracts whether or not they are forced to do so by law. AT JEROME PARK. How the,Hemes lUti on That Truck Ycatvitlay. Jerome Park, Aug.

THE STROLLER. The following verses were handed to the Stroller yc-steiday by u gentleman who Bald they had been »-‘nt to him by a relative In Kansas, who found them pinned to the -back of a car seat on n Kansas railroad. “We’re In a land of drouth and heat, Where nothing grows c>r ini-n to eat. The winds do blow with burning heat. And, oh. this land is hard to beat. Chorus— Oh. Kansas land, sweet Kansas land. As on thy burning ground I stand I look away across the plains And wonder why it never rains; But when I hear old Gabriel sound I know the rain hue gone nround. The farmers go Into their corn And there,they stand ami look forlorn. Their feelings, they receive a shock. They find -the shoot has missed the [Stalk. We'll have no wheat, we’ll have no oats. We’ll have no corn to feed our sbotes. Our chickens are too poor to eat And pig; go squealing through the street Our horses are of broncho race; Starvation stares us In the. face.

The gentleman says he Intends to write to his relative and Zell him If he can find the author or nny one else who he* suffered by the long drought In Kansas that walking Is cheap and that If he gets a move on him It will not take him long to get to Georgia, where the fields nre fairly teeming with luxuriant crops of corn, cotton, oats, hiy, Wheat, and in fnct everything that grows In the ground.

"This must be n fine country for fals ing hay," remarked a visitor to Mncon yesterday to the Stroller. “It’s n fine country for raising every thing except a fuss." replied the Stroll er, •‘but who* suggested your remark?' he added. “Why, I see right here in the city several very fine h'.iy forms. One in particular that attracted my attention was right up xhe street here near your City halt. It Is triangular In shape with s cannon planted In the middle of It. I thought perhaps ybu had noticed It.” "Why. that’s not n hay form, man, W a city park." replied the aston ished stroller. "That’s one of Macon’s beauty spots.” “I beg pardon, butt I declare I thought it was n hny farm, ns I noticed the luxuriant growth uf hay waving grace fully with each passing breeze," he said •s he changed the subject. “The slot machine Is n great Inven tion, said Ool.

The next morning I wanted a oocktnll and with thoughts of my luck the nlgUt before. I again tackled the slot machine nnd again pulled out 20 cents.

COULDN’T GET OUT OF DANGER. A Miner Whb Fired Giant Powder Fuses nnd Found Escape Out Off.

The dis tance was only about ten feet, but he hud no ladder on account af the Incon venience of handling It while shooting, and the only means of escape was by climbing a rope. He applied the light to the fuoo and etawed to climb the rope, but It was wot and sHppery nnd as soon as he made a few feet his hold would giveaway and he would slip back to the bottom of the shaft, where four pieces of fuse were sizzling their way to as many sticks of giant powder, ills first unsuccessful atiemept did not alarm him muob. an he had no fear of hln ability to get away, but as be tried again and again, and each time to only stM* back to the bottom, he began to renSxe chut his position was a. very critical one.

SMALl* PARROT’S DEVOTION TO ITS MATE. From tho Zoolobist. I have known two parrots \vhich hail lived together lor many years, wheu the female become weak and her legs swelled. These were symptoms of gout, a (aisense to which all birds of this family are subject in England. It became impossible for her to descend from the perch, or take- her food as formerly, but the male* was most assid uous In carrying It to her In his beak. He continued feeding her in th»s man ner during fonr mo«nths, but the Infirm ities of his companion increased from day to day, so that at last she was uu- able to Bupport herself on the perch. She remained cowering down In the bottom of the cage, making from time to time Ineffectual efforts to regain the perch. The male was always near her, and with all his strength aided the feeble at- temps of hln dear better half. Seizing the poor invalid by the beak or the upper part of the wing, he tried to raise her. nnd renewed his efforts several times. His constancy, his gestures and his continued solicitude all showed in this affectionate bird the moat ardent dewire to relieve the mifferlnf.i and assist the weakness of hlfl companion. But the scene became full more interesting when the female wofl ^Iler unhappy spouse moved around her Incessantly, hla attention and tender cares redoubled. He oven tried to open her beak to give her some nourishment. Me ran to her, then returned with a troubled look. At intervals he uttered the most plaintive cries, then, with his eyes fixed on her, kept a mournful ellence. At length his companion brealthed her from that moment he pined away and died In the course of a few weeks. FAURE SHOT (HIMSELF. The Young Newspaper Mhp Attempts Sutelde-'AM Right Today. > .
