I.KVKLIXG WAGES.
There is nothing in mathematics more susceptible of demonstration than tlie proposition that free trade with European nations will reduce want's in this eountry to a level with the general rate of wages in the old world. Labor organizations can do much to keep up wages in all parts of the world, but no labor organization here can keep wages higher than they are in Europe, if we adopt unrestricted commerce with foreign nations. If our people who employ labor are compelled to sell in the markets with all other nations, without any restrictions, they mu-t hire labor on the same conditions as other nations. If they are compelled to sell their products with unrestricted and unhampered competition, they must hire labor under the same conditions or quit business. If our manufacturers must sell their goods in competition with nations which employ cheap labor. then they too, must have the advantage of cheap labor. Our Democratic friends virtually acknowledge this when they claim that our manufacturers should have the advantage of cheap raw material. If cheaper raw material is necessary, so is cheaper labor: for labor cuts a more important figure in most manufacturing enterprises than raw material. If two bodies of water are so connected that the water flows freely from one into the other, a lowering of the water in either one will surely lower it in the other. If you should take away the obstruction at Niagara Falls, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario would certainly come to the same level. It is only the dam at Niagara that protects liuflalo, Cleveland. Sandusky, Toledo and other cities on Lake Erie from destruction, for if the dam were out they would all be left for inland, and deprived of all their lake commerce. And so it is with the tariir. It is the dam that keeps wages here above the European level, and the moment you remove it the American and European rates will come to the same level as surely as would Erie and Ontario come to the same level with Niagara Falls removed.
THIS WILSON' BILL I'AijSEU. The Wilson bill, a bill to create a deficiency and not a revenue, passed the House yesterday by a vote of 201 to J40. Every Republican voted against the bill, together with sixteen Democrats. Even the eloqueut Ilourke Cochran voted for the measure including the income tax attachment which he so vigorously denounced but three days before. The bill now goes to the Senate where it will be cussed and discussed until midsummer, at least. Its fate is uncertain. It is safe to say, however, that it will not pass that body in its present shape. If the attempt is made to push it through as it passed the House it is believed that the Senators from New York, New Jersey, and Louisiana will vote against it. The votes of these Senators with the votes of the Republican Senators will kill the bill. Scores of Democrats voted for the bill yestesday conscious of the fact that it was their political death knell. Hut they were the "cuckoos" and had not the courage of their convictions. There were Demo crats on the lloorof theliouse who voted for it and who in their hearts agree with the New York Sun, which denounces it as a "bill for deficiency and larceny, a bill to reduce the Democratic party, provide a deficiency, eon
Untie culmination, leave the Constitu tion unvindicated, and for other and all other purposes save and except the production of revenue only." The Sun declares it to be "the work of statesmen by accident only, and statesmen for defeat only. It represents the ripe economic culture of alfalfa-gras: statists, and cow-yard financiers. It is as fair as injustice and as honest as stealing: and it shows a degree of wisdom that might do credit to a cretinous idiot."
Tin: New York Trifjunc speaking of the Faverweather will contest now in progress, and in which Wabash College is interested as one of the beneficiaries. makes the following sunsible observation:
The litigation over the Fayerweather millions is going on steadily, with a prospect that it may continue for a long time. A good many lawyers are interested in it, and of couse they all expect handsome fees, to be paid out of the estate. From present appearances there will not be a great deal left for the colleges which the rich leather merchant intended to benefit. The result in this case, as well as in a number of others, notably in the Til den wise, has been such as to discourage wealthy men who wish to dispose of tlieir estates for the advantage of other people. There is one obvious moral, however—namely, that if one wishes to establish a library or endow colleges or assist worthy charities, if he does so during his lifetime and gives the money away with his own hand, there will not be any difliculty about it, and he can rest assured that a large share of his property will not be con •timed in endless lawyers' fees.

It Has Lonar Been a Popular Artlole of Food.
A Favorite Dlih with the ltonaai of Old —An English Eli| "Wb.o Preferred the Whea It
Was Stale.
We eat every year Ta this country about five and a half millions of oysters—raw, stewed, fried, roasted, pickled, scalloped and in a pp.te, says the Youth's Companion. But as a single oyster may contain at one time eight hundred thousand embryo oysters there need be no fear of a famine in this delicious food, provided proper provision is made for its culture. Oysters are wholesome because they are easily digestible and please the taste without exciting to surfeit. Prof. William Mathews, in his essay on "Oysters," quotes Brillat-Savarin, the master of French cooks, to show that it is not easy to tell where satiety begins in oyster eating: "The despair of my life is that I can never get my fill of oysters," said a friend. "Come and dine with me and you shall have your fill," replied Savarin. The friend, one M. Laperte, came and for one hot. devoted himself to eating oysters. When he had swallowed thirty-one dozen and was proceeding to eat tho thirty-second the host rang for the soup, saying: "Not to-day, my friend, will destiny allow you to eat your fill." M. Laperte did ample justice to the dinner which followed.
But tho Frenchman was excelled by tbe gluttonous Yitellius, who is reported to have eaten a thousand oysters at a sitting. "He was a very valiant man who first ventured on eating of oysters," King James was wont to declare—a sentiment echoed by the poet Gay: The man had sure a palate covered o'er With brass or steel, that on the roclty shore First hroke Iho oozy oyster's pearly coat.. And risked the living morsel down his throat.
The Romans were as fond of oysters as Americans are, and were divided in opinon about the lusclousuess of the produce of different beds. Juvenal, in his "Fourth Satire," says that a gourmet of Rome. "fat-paunched Montanus," could tell at the first bite from what coaRt an oyster had been taken. Whether oysters were bred at Clrcael. or At the Lucrlne rock, or sent forth from the
Rutuplau bottom,
He knew well to discover at the first bite. Oysters once played an important part in Englisfi history. One of the objections of George I. to the throne of England was that, he could not find in all England oysters to his Hking. He grumbled at their queer taste and want of flavor and threatened to return to Ilanover. As the departure of the king might lead to tho return of the Stuarts, his ministers devoted themselves to finding which sort of oysters the monarch liked. On discovering that he was fond of stale oysters no time was lost In procuring some with a good, strong rankness about them. Tho king smacked his lips and consented to remain on the throne.
UNEARTHED ANCIfcINT RELICS.
Bones itud Weapons of Mound nullders Disinterred in Kentucky. While digging a well near Sand Spring, Ky., recently a number of human bones were disinterred, together with a quantity of weapons, spearheads, arrows and axes of copper, obsidian and very good brass, the axes especially showing very fair workmanship. The bones all belonged to male skeletons, with the exception of oue of the best preserved, which was that of a woman, about whose skull was bound a crown or sort of diadem of silver, set, with an opal cut with skill, and of extraordinary size and luster. From the appearance of these remains, says the Philadelphia Times, it is probable that this was an ancient battle ground on which the slain were buried as they felL Local arohteologlsts, who have examined the skulls, declare that they are not those of Indians, but of a people of superior intelligence. Some of the skeletons are seven feet in height, one measuring eight feet four inches.
This latter's breast-bone is shattered by a copper knife which was still sticking in the severed bone. The presence of the woman's remains is not to be .ccounted for, except that she may have been the queen of tho tribe and in person led her host to battle, sharing their lot and being interred with them. Among the relics is a lamp provided with a wick which has hardened almost to a stone, and on the body of which runs a curious inscription cut into tho brass. The lettering resembles that of Egyptian monuments. There Is also an engravingon it of.an insect'strangely like tho scarabei of that country. Another reminder of ancient history is found in the fact that one of the skeletons has seized another by the heel and his teeth are still to be seen fixed in it, crunching tho bono in his grasp. That these people were identical with the mound builders is more than probable, for it is known that that vanished race was particularly numerous about here.

JAPANESE DUTIES.
The One Law Governing Domestlo Relations Cnder ConfnclanUm. In "Tho Ethics of Confucius, as seen in Japan," tho author says that to keep tip tho house and not let tho family name be extinguished is the supreme wish. This is tho immortality of the east. The house lives on, the individuals are but fragments of the house.
If there lie no natural, heir, adoption readily supplies tho deficiency. The magnificent scale on which adoption Is practiced shows a foreigner at onoe that the words "father," "son," can hardly liaro tho same depth of meaning they have in the English language. "Why did Washington let his house dio out?" was once asked mo by a Japanese gentleman, who couldn't conceive any reason for suoh neglect, lie thought our great general might have adopted some one to keephis house and name from perishing. "IIow long has he lived there?" I asked once concerning a certain person. As "he" Is ono of tho pronouns that had to be translated into the mental contents of my pupil's "brain, he took it to mean "house," and replied: "Oh, he has been there two hundred and fifty years." "IIow long have you lived here?" I asked a merchant. "Three hundred years," was the prompt reply, with a look of satisfaction at '-he thought of his house having passed through ten generations.
We can hardly use the word "parent" without thinking of the duties he has to his child. But here, the prevailing thought in this relation, as in all others, is that of duty from the inferior to the superior.
They had a high ideal, and the noble words are in their books that "the first duty of the parent is t-. instruct the child in the way," .ind "the most efficient teaching is by example." Yet the burden of the teaching was that children owed everything to their parents. And this obedience lasted for life.
ALUMINUM TICKETS.
They Are Used on Street Cars in Kalamazoo and Work WeLL The latest use for aluminum is for street oar tickets, and it must be oonceded that the metal is singularly adapted for the purpose, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. A street railway has just made its first issue of these light and ornamental tickets, which are about the size of a silver quarter dollar. One is round, for ordinary fare, the other ootagonal, for children. The adult's tickot is sold by the railroad company to the public at the rate of six for a quarter, and the child's ticket at the rate of ten for a quarter.
The company does not allow its employes, either conductors or motormen, to sell tho tickets to the public, and disposes of them in ten dollar lots to the several storekeepers, who handle them exclusively. This method of distributing the tickets overcomes to a certain extent the difficulties which have always attended tho sale of tickets by employes in connection with the receipt of cash fares. Tho aluminum tickot has also the great advantage of requiring no cancellation. As soon as the tickets are turned in by the publio to the railroad company they arc done up in packages and sold again.
It is said that the tickets arc much in favor in Kalamazoo, where they have been introduced, and that they arc handled by a great many storekeepers, and even by some of tho banks as cash. The use of the tiokets does not clash in any way with that of the ordinary quarter, from which it is easily distinguished, both by tho difference in shade of the metal and by its lightness.

hk breath of a chronic catarrh patient is often so offensive that he becomes an object, of disgust. After a time ulceration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, and frequently destroyed. A constant source of discomfort is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat, sometimes producing inveterate bronchitis, which is usually the exciting cause of pul inouary disease. The brilliant results by its use for years past properly designate Ely's Creaui Halm as by faV the best and only cure. Call upon you druggist for it.
