THE

fact that labor gets the principal

benefit of tariff duties i* being prestnt*d to the Ways and Means Committee in a very distinct and forcible manner. Manufacturers and their employee by the scores have appeared and testified that a reduction of the tariff would be ruinous both to business and labor. Importers and foreigners alone have asked for free trade. The latter of course, will be favored. The committee is built that way.

September Blue and Gray, Mr. Edwin Lewis Suter makes a very forcible plea for a Pan-American Congress to adopt a system of bimetallic currency that shall bo uniform throughout all of America south of the great lakes. Mr. Suter thinks that by this means the United States oould not only oontrol all of the rioh trade of South America Central America, and Mexico, but could force all Europe to our terms, and bring the money center of the world to this continent.

a keg. In 1883 Americans paid $68 per ton for English -wire rods. To day domestic wire rods of superior quality cost $30 per ton. Ten years ago the American farmer paid 10 cents a pound for barb wire for fences. Now he gets his barb wire for 2J cents a pound. Yet the Democratic party wants to destroy the protective system, which has cheapened these products by bnilding up home industries in which American workingmen get more than twice as much wages as the same class of labor gets abroad.

is no mark of greatness lor a public man to forget tho common people who mado lilm, 11 was a characteristic of Lincoln, a tribute to Iris greatness that he never forgot to listen to the great plain people.—Franfc/ort Creoctnt.

This is a frank acknowledgment that the Democratic party during the war was not composed of the "great plain people," as man since the beginning of time was the subject of more wicked abuse and censure than was Abraham Lincoln at the hands of this same Democratic party. The Democratic press and speakers from the time he was nominated until be was struck down by a Democratic assassin's bullet denounced him in season and out of reason as a poltroon, and a tyrant. In fact the English language was exhausted in find ing terms to apply expressive of their derisive scorn and contempt for this the greatest and best man who ever occupied the Presidential chair. For a Democratic paper now to pay tribute to his greatness partakes too much of snivel ing hypocrisy.

Mt. Vernon Democrat is mad all

over at, the Democratic Congressmen who voted for the repeal of the Sherman act, in the House. It pays its respects to Congressman Cooper as follows:

Congressman Cooper, of the Fifth Indiana IMsirlct, who was elected on a platform demanding the use of both silver and gold for monej, broke his political neck Monday when lie made a speech In opposition to the Tree coinage of silver. Mr. Cooper fn deserting the put form which was good enough to be elected on, shows very plainly that Uncle Dan Voorhecs and his patronage pull have got In their work on him. His constituency should lose DO lime in retiring hlui from the position In which he Is now mlsreprentlng them.

The Democrat boils over in the following Blyle, also: Oh Patronage! Asa perrerter of statesmen's opinions, and as an Inducement to forget party platforms, thou art the "lulu bird with the Jong tall."

And does not let the grave and reverend Senators alone either. The Dem ocrat sajs:

Senator Turplo Is holding onto Unclc Dan Voofhees' coat-tails like grim death. It's the worst case of "Me Too" the people ot Indiana been ufllicted wl'li.

The Democrat should have turned its attention to Brookshire and the other Democratic Cnngresfiiuen who voted for

repeal.

A LONDON TRAMP WARD.

Breaker, and Cleaners.

Most people suppose that those luckless wretches who take refuge in the casual wards of -khouses havo a rather good time of it at the expense of the rate payers. Nothing- could be further removed from fact. Some unions and their officials treat "casuals" better than do others, but "bad is the best," and, as a rule, London unions rank worse than country ones, St. Giles being- the very worst of all, for the shopkeepers who constitute tho board of guardians—not of the poor, but of the rates—in thatparish impose upon casuals a task of stone breaking- which no able-bodied man, no matter how powerful or skillful—and there is skill or "knack" in stone breaking, as in other things—could possibly perform in'the time allotted, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Hence, as failure to perform the task means being charged at Bow street as a "refractory pauper," and as magistrates never, or hardly ever, believe aught the accused "casual" says, a night's lodging in the Macklin street, Drury Lane, "Bastille," usually means a month's hard labor in Pentonville prison to follow. The casual ward of the parish of St. Ursula is not far from a main thoroughfare and is not open until eight p. m. On the occasion when fate caused me to seek its shelter I had about thirty companions in misery—all ragged, all dirty and all down at heel. 'We were hustled into a large room, which had, of course, that harsh and chilling aspect common to all workhouses. The "labor master"—they used to be called "tramp masters"—who had admitted us took his seat at a table and commenced to take our names, etc. This was the way In whioh he went about it: "Now, then, No. 1, come on. If you are a-coming." The man nearest the bully crawled forward, hat in hand and body bent forward, the very picture of abjeotness. "What's your name—if you've got one?" "Timothy Snooks." "Fine name that. How old do you call yourself?" "Forty, please, sir." "I don't please. What are yer?" "Nothing." "So I should think," grunted Bully, and made an entry of some kind. "Where did you sleep last night?" "Nowhere." "Nowhere!" repeated Bully. "Ain't you a-going back to ther same place?"

No answer. "Where are yon going to?" "Any where." "AnywhereI Here, that won't do for me. You must say where you're going, even if it's only to make a hole in the water." Bully laughed at his own poor wit. Snooks muttered something and Bully wrote it down. "Have yer got any money?" "No." "Then take everything out of yer pockets and pitch 'em into that basket," pointing to one close by. And so went on the examination.

At last came my turn. Bully, who was evidently not a bad judge of men. at once discovered that I did not belong to the habitual tramp brigade and accordingly, in order to aggravate me, put an additional question—viz: "Are you a good hand at picking oakum?" "No." "Well, that's all right. You'll have a good spell of it to-morrow."

Now came the food. A regular pauper, or Inmate, entered, carrying a wooden tray upon which were slices of bread, and each casual was ordered to take one slice. This was our supper. Having eaten it, we were marched into a shed and were told to undress. Then each man had to walk across a courtyard and plunge into a bath of water. The one supply of water did for the whole crowd (at some provincial unions, notably Melton Mowbray and Northampton, the same uncleanly kind of cleanliness prevails), and soap there was not. Next we were marched into the dormitory, which is simply a brick-floored shed like a barn, along the 6ides of which were ranged rows of what looked like shallow coffins, but which I, from previous experience gained at the Salvation Army salvage wharf at Battersea, knew to be sleeping bunks without bottoms except the floor of bricks. In each of these was a straw palliasse and one rug or blanket. As we had left our clothes done up in bundles in the bath shed, it may be Imagined how we shivered that winter night through.

At six in the morning a bell rang and the tramp master entered. "Now, then," he roared out, "out of it, all of youl Tumble outl No skulking here. Boll up your mattresses and put your shirts on top of 'em." (I forgot to mention that each man had been given a "collection of holes with rags around them," supposed to be a night shirt, when he left the "bath" over night.) Quickly we dressed and then marched out into the yard. Some of the men were selected as cleaners, others as stone breakers and others as oakum pickers. I was among the last. Each man was handed a bundle of short pieces of tarry rope, almost as hard as iron. These were to be unraveled into spun yarn almost as fine as floss tilk. There was a time when such a task would have seemed to me impossible. But practice and experience, if they do not make perfect, at least teach one even to pick oakum, and by the aid of the worn heel tip of my boot I managed to achieve my task in the course of the day.

For dinner we were served out six ounces of bread and one and a quarter ounces of moldy cheese for supper, the same as for breakfast. Then we were marched off to "bed" (?). At six a. m. we were turned out into the streets—breakfastless.

The Ingredients For a Newspaper Ian. My son, I don't know if your youthful conception

Hath breadth in the scope of its nebulous plan To wield comprehension of that one exception

To workaday mortals, the newspaper man. But if you'll agree to a feeble description From one of their number, I'll do what I can To blend in the way of a little prescription

The mixture that's known as a newspaper man! Take a brain that is steeped iu solution of knowledge.

Most varied and picturesque under the sun: Then add just a pinch of the salt of tho college, A Aav«r of wit and a soupcon of fun— For a relish Bohemian sauce is the caper—

And a mind that will stretch from Beersheba to Dan In fancy or fact, when It comes to the "paper,"

For the world of today that is ruled by the pen. Add the honesty of friendship, the dew of affection

And the esprit do corps that gets down to hard pan. And paste in your hat the whole mortal col lection

MEMENTOS OF SHAKESPEARE.

A Jof and Cane Which Once Belonged t« the Avon Hani.

So lamentably few and far between are the authentic relics of Shakespeare, says a London journal, that considerable interest will be aroused in the minds of all English speaking people by the recent sale at Christie's of two apparently genuine mementos of the poets of all time. One is described as "Shakespeare's jug." It is of creamcolored earthenware, nine inches high and sixteen inches round the largest part, and is somewhat in the shape of a modern coffee pot. It is divided longitudinally into eight compartments, each horizontally subdivided and within these subdivisions the principal deities of the heathen mythology are represented in rather bold relief. It is stated that at the beginning of the present century a silver top and edging were added, with a small medallion of the poet, inscribed "William Shakespeare at the age of forty." Accompanying the jug is a Malacca cane in beautiful preservation, four feet seven and a half inches In length. These two articles. It is declared, were bequeathed by the poet to his sister Joan, who married Mr. Hart and the relics remained in possession of the family until the first years of the nineteenth cen tury. No doubt an acourately verified pedigree exists of the changes of hands, if any, which these objects have undergone since they have passed out of the keeping of the Ilart family or their descendants. The bidding for the two articles started at the small sum of five guineas, and the bids gradually advanced to one hundred and fifty-five guineas, at which certainly not inflated price the jug and the Malacca cane were knocked down. Assuming the trustworthiness of the pedigree, the produotlon of which would be absolutely Indispensable, it would be difficult to maintain that the jug and the stijk did not belong to the Swan of Avon apd there Is, besides, a tolerably strong body of extraneous evidence which might be quoted to prove that the jug, at all events, is authentic.

Artificial miniature auroras of the borealis variety huve been produced by both De la Rive, the French savant, and Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In Prof. Lenstrom's experiments, which were made in Finland, the p*ak of a high mountain was

Bur-

rounded with a coil of wire, pointed at intervals with tin nibs. The wire was then charged with electricity, whereupon a brilliant aurora appeared above the mountain, in which spectroscopic analysis revealed the greenish yellow rays so characteristic in nature's display of "northern lights."

I have been a great sufferer from dry catarrh for many years and I tried many remedies, but none did me so much benefit as Ely's Cream Balm It completely cured me. M. J. Laity, 39 Woodward avenue, Boston Highlands, Mass.

Things Worth Remembering. When you feel a kind of goneness about the stomach it is a sign Hint your blood does not sit well and that you are about to have a fit of indigestion.

When you begin to feel rvous and arc unable to sit still comfortably: when your clothes suddenly seem to lose their lit and become too tight in places tlie tit of indiges tion is surely upon you.

When this fit of indigestion is repeated from day to day it finally resolves itself into dyspepsia.

Remember that from thrco to ton of Brandreth's Pills will cure tho worst case ol indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that a

regular

emirso of them, say two or

three every night for a week or ten days, will act as a preventive of either complaint.
