AMUSING FREE TRA.DE TALK. Tho Chicago Tribuuo is froo tnule paper it Iris ulwnvs oppose.1 tlio MeKiuley bill mid nil other high taritl'Iaws ou the ground that thoy raiso prices. Before tlio isiige of tho MoKinluy bill, it said tint nieasuro would immediately iuoreaso the prioo of ovorytliiug upon wliioli tlio tariff was increased. In tho light of theso facts, tho Tribuuo'a editorial on tho failure tlio rout Kittouhouse woolou factory at Passaic. •OS. J., is amusing iu tho extreme. It savs: "When it became certain that the

Molvniey bill would puss the munngcr of tho works, who is tho President of tho American Protective Tariff League, decided that ho would make a bold stroke for great profits, which would lift tho coucoru out of all iinaucial difficulties. Fully convinced th'it tho prioo of woolens would go up as soon as the bill was in force, [und that is what tho Tribune had told him he put million dollurs into wool during Juno and July. •In that ho ditiered from most of tho manufacturers, [who hud too much sense to believe the Tribune] who were sparing in their purchases. Most of this wool wa3 wcrked up into clotli, tho bulk of which was held for the expected rise.

But tho tariiT bill did not become a lrtw till a month or more after tho manager thought it would, und iu tho meantime foreign manufacturers wore pouring into tho country every yard of cloth they had on their sholves. So the expect rise did not como when it was looked for. It has not come yet, but will soon, as tho old stocks are being worked off rapidly."

It might bo said, than, that the

It is curious to note that the Tribune uov.-s admits that the McKinley bill has not raised tho price of woolou goods. Tho price-, lioweve r, is soon to rise, says tlio Tribune. But this has boon said for a hundred yoars, but tho time for tho rise like the milk'trickncas, is always just ahead.

Jauko was a young Hunga

rian who was ])assiouately i'oni\ of music and possessed musical talent. At tlio N'UUO time ho was of scieutilie nil meciunical turu of mind, nud the two sets of faculties developed together. The result was that he has invented a musical keyboard which promises to revolutionize piano practice. The revolution is already in lull force in Germany, where sixty-three factories are busy tuniiug out the new keybuar.ls.

Fancy to yourself a ty ewritpr keyboard, or raii'.or, perhaps, that of a church organ, with banks of keys one above another. Tiiis will Ljivo you a fair idea of tho keyboard lion- von Jauko has invented and is now exhibitin ,' 111 America. Instead of stretching the keys out one lieside another over a space covering seven octaves Jauko has cleverly placed tlieui one above another, so that a grand piano built with the new keyboard will occupy only half the space taken up by the old style.

Again, each key is built with three points at which it may bo struck. The points are in a lino from bottom to top, going up like stair stops over tho six banks or rows of keys. The keys are divided into black and whito for whole and half notes .*u! before, bui the black keys are directly alongside of the white ones.

The takim? up of only half tho space formerly occupied by a piano 13 one immense gain in these days of high rents and small houses. Bni, tliero is another which musicians consider greater still, and this oilier is the main reason tho new keyboard offers for its esistenc". In the old piano, with its spread out keys, it was almost impossible for a person with a short hand to reach across tho board to strike tho notes sometimes required from thumb to little finger.

Indeed, surgical operations have been occasionally performed to enable the third and fourth fingers to spread apart farther. The new keyboard renders all this painful and spasmodic sinachin^c unnecessary. Fancy yourself drumming upon tho window pane, thus— do, mi, sol, do. Notice the position your lingers naturally assume. They move easily, closo together, the middle finger forming a sort of point or angle, slightly ahead of the others. This is ex ictly tho position the fingers assume in running tho scale njion tho new keylward. They remain, no matter

Tho president of tho i'ramvrays Institute of Great Qribiin and Ireland, or, as a Yankee would miy, of tho Street Car association, gave some interesting facts before a convention of American street railway men not long since.

An amendment was offered providing that every Stato and National lecturer and every alliance organ shall support tho platform or suffer suspension, and that no candidate for a National office shall receive the support of tho allianco unless ho pledges himself in writing to uphold tho platform. Any alliance acting contrary to tins section will he subject to immediate) suspension. At'tor some discussion tho amended platform was adopled unanimously hy a call of States. Tho platform does not include the sub-Treasury schome, which is yet to bo adopted.

Tho principal pianks of tho plattorm are as follows: It demands tho atollUon of National hanks and the subslitn'ioa of l»-^iil-tcud«*r TruaMiry notes in lieu of N'alionul bsmU notes in suTticient volume curry on the busiuess of Iho countiy on a cash sy-iicm thut (Jonjrress prevent by la the de-Wing hi

Colonel Livingstone reported from tho

Dr. C. \V. Macuno, chairman of the National Execuiivo Committee, submitted his annual report of tlio work accomplished by that body during tlio year. It referred at length to tho work of tno coinmitieo in having tlio sub-Treasury bill drawn and presented to Congress. Tho report recommended a reduction of tho salaries of all National Allianco officers and the removal from Washington City of the National Alliance president's office, inasmuch as tho retention

usefulness.

At the conclusion of tho roport Dr. Macuno addressed tho convention upon tho policy of tho alliance, especially with reference to It position upon loading public measures and its attitude toward tho Democratic and Republican parties. He told tho dologates that tho peoplo in tho Southern States wero not prepared to embark In tho third-party movement that they had not elected delegates to this convention that tho people of soino Western and Northwestern States had already embarked in the movoment and considered that the prosperity of tho order demanded some action of that kind to sustain them in thoir ofTorts. In this omergency there was a great necessity for conservatism and caution. Ho recommonded as a compromise that a convention bo called to meet, in February, IStl'J that it bo composed of delegates from all associations of producers, and that the next annual session of the supremo council elect delegates to represent tho order in that convention.

Dr. Macuno's speech was frequently Interrupted with applause, especially that part winch outlined a policy for the National Farmers' Allianco relative to a third party, thus indicating very plainly the temper of the delegates on this question. Tlio roport was referred without debate.

At tho afternoon session Chairman McDowell presented tho report of tlio committee appointed to investigate tho charifos affecting tho official conduct of Messls. I'olk, Livingstone and Macuno. The committed finds nothing to shako its confidence in the integrity and loyalty lo tho order of any of the gentlemen mentioned, but regrets tho official connection of Dr. Macuno with tho Georgia Senatorial contest. The report was adoptod.

The election of oflicors resulted a3 follows: I'resident, L. I,. I'olk (reelected) Vico-I'residont, 11. H. Cover, of Kansas (re-elected) Secretary, J. H. Turner, of Oooi'triu National Lecturer, J. S. Willels, of Kansas. Tno National oxcculive board remains unchanged— Macuno, Wardall, Tillman and I'olk.

Mrs. Neville, of Kansas, offered tt resolution placing women in tho Farmers' Allianco on an equal footing witb tho men as to liabilities, fees, etc. Mrs. Fanny I!. Vickeroy. of Kansas, offered an amendment to strike out Hie word "male" from the constitution. This was referred to the committee on tho good of the ori!er.

Tho return of theso important indictments is the result of several weeks' investigation on the part of the grand jury on general charges that tho interstate commerce law had been violated relative to rates on grain shipped from Northwestern and Western points to Chicago for rates less than those established by law. It was in this investigation that Charles Counselman, tho Hoard of Trade man, and James C. 1'eraeley, treasurer for the Hurlington road, woro brought before tho court, lined and committed for refusing to answer questions pertaining to the same subject matter, but theso two gentlemen wero not indictod.

Wlmt. -'St. Nicholas" Mas Done Kor Hoys und iir!s. Up to th" 11 in- of the issue ol tho St. Nicholas Maga/.me seventeen vrars ago literature and children's magazines were almost, connadirtorv tenet bill the new perieoical started out with 1 lie Idea that nothing was too goi lor childien the result has been a juvenile magazine genuine with conscientious purpo-e.--the great/ st. writers eontri btiting to it, with the. best artists and engravers helping to beautify it.—and everything tuned to tho kov note ol youth.

It has boon the special aim of St. Nicholas to supplant uclioalthv literature with stories of a living and healthful Intel est. It will not do to take fascinating t.ad literatuie out ot the bovs'hands, and givo them in its place Mrs. llarbauld and i'el.er Parley, or tho work ol writers who think that any "good-v talk will do for children, but they must have strong, interesting rending, with the blood und sinew of real life iu it,—reading that will waken them to a closer observation »f the best things nbout them.

In tho seventeen years of it life St. Nicholas has not only elevated the children. but it has also olovated the tone ot contemporary children's literature as well. Many ot Its stories, llko Mrs. ISuruett's "Little Lord Fauntleroy," have become classic. It is not too much to say that almost every notable young people's story now produced In America lirst seeks the light In tlio pages of that magazine.

A OKI AT AMKRlCAN TRIBUNE. :.:

Tho Success of "Tlio Century" and It* Pluns for 1801. The Centuiy Magazine is now 60 wellknown that to toll of its past success seems almost an old history. Tho N. Y. Tribune has said that It and its companion, St. Nicholas for Young Folks, issued by the sano house," aro read by erery one person in thirty of the country's population,"—and largo editions of both aro sent beyond tho seas. It is an interesting fact ihat a few years ago it was found that seven thousand copies of The Century wont to Scotland—quite a rcspectoblo edition in itself. The question In England Is no longer "Who reads an Ameaicnn book?" but "Who does not see the American magazines'!1"

About two years ago tho Century about doubled its circulation with the famous War Pupois, by Gen. Grant and ethers, adding many inoro readers later with tho Lincoln History and Kennan's thrilling articles on tlio Siberian Exile System. Ono great feature for 1H91 Is to be "•Tim OOLI) HUNTEHS OK CAI.I 1 OitNIA .' describing that remarkable movement to the gold llelds in '19, in a series of richly illustrated articles written by survivors, including the naratives of men who wont to California bv the different routes, aac'ounts of t.io go discoveries, life in the mines, the work of the vigilance committees (by tho chairman of th* committees,) etc.. etc. Gen. Fremont's las!, writing was done for this series. In November appears the opening article, •'Tho First Emigrant tinin to California. "—OIOSHIUK tho Itocki'
