Mr. Turpie is right. Th j Dingley tariff is a good ihing forth trusts, but it is rough on tne feds era treasury Customs revenue ia derived from imports. The Dinglevtariff has reduced this re*, venue because it has levied praetically prohibitive rates. The Dingley law gives opportunity for exacting tribute from the lonsumtr, which opportunity the manufacturing combines are improvk g So that Dingleyism diverts revee from the treasuryinto the pockets of the monopolists. It is a “rob*, ber” tariff, just as all hign tariffs are robbers.- Lafayette Joui al (dtm.). The Mcnon for the thirdweek in June earned $62,914, an increase of $2,623.

I®” A new' swindle was operated by forgers in several towns in Hamilton county recently- Milliners Were made the victims. A man dressed as a farmer would appear at a store and signify h s intention of purchasing a hat for bis sister. When the transaction was about bonaumated a confederate woul 1 appear and ask the alleged farmer if he had.sold bis wheat and was ready to go home— The reply wns always ‘yes,’ and the second man left after premising to call ij a few minuies. This caused the farm er tojappear in a hurry, and a chfck, bearing the signature of a prominent ele vatot 11;m, wls presented, being several dollars in excess of the purchase- Of cour.-e the checks were forgeries. The purchaser always left the hat to be called for ‘when the wagon came around tor him.’ Gra*d Midsummer Excursion to Chicago,!

An eight year old girl out in a Kansas town was required by her teacher to write a composition one day recently, and the next day handed In the f Jlowing brief but starring romance “Once there was a poor young man who was in love with a rich giri whose mother had a large candy store The poor young man want) ed to marry the candy lady’s daughter but he was too poor to buy furniture Oue day a bad mau offered him $25 to become a drunkard The poor young man was dreadfully tempted, because he wanted to be rich enough to marry the canny lady’s daughter But when he got to the saloon door with the bad man he said “I will not break my p edge even to be rich Get thee behind me, Satan!’’ So he went home, and on his way found a pocket book with $100,<>00,(00 in if. SO he went and told the candy lady’s daugh ter and tijey were married They had a lovely wedding, and the next day they had twins Thus we see that virtue U its own rewaid.”

*‘A HXI ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

It is sot forgotten that Alger exerted every effort to humiliate Geneial Merritt. General Fitzhugh Lee ha j been kept from going to the front by the administration. McKinley has advanced Sampson more points’tban he did Bchlry* What for? It was Schley who destroyed Gervera’s fleet. In Birmingham, Alabama,where tberi are numerous great menu** faoturing plants,at the recent citetion, ont of a total vote of $2,000 the Democratic ticket received 1,800. It is intimated that Gen. Fitzhogh Lee will be made military governor of C üba u til such t.me as it may require this government to establish a stable condition of affairs in the island. The South Bend Times reaches the conclusion that “the immense Democratic majority in Alabama rather tends to show that the party of Jefferson is getting into fine fettle once again. Evidently it is training to make a grand iun eve rywhere this fall.” On the commencement of the war with Spain Captain Sampson was appointed acting Admiral thus advancing him o-.er the head of Commodore Schley. It was Sch;ey who lured Cervera into the ‘bottle’ at Santiago. And it was Sc’ ley who destroyed the Spanish [fleet when it attempted to escape out of the bottle.

While the interest in the war has kept the people from noting the doings of the spoilsmen, the administration has been very busy in their behalf. In Indiana, as an instance, 1,413 postmasters out of 2,218 have been changed since the 4th of March, 1897, and of the 143 presidential postoffices, all have been given to republicans but nine. T'he appointments in the army have also gone almost exclusively to republican partisans.

In an attempt to create a favorable impression for the Dingley law, l ssistant Secretary of the Treasury Howell is out with a set of figures which are being given space in republican organs. An examiraton of the statement show 3 that Howell resorts to jug ghng of the wors r . variety. Tak* ing the last five months as a basis for calculation, he subtracts from Le expenditures of the govern ment all the expenses oi the w i and adds to the Dingley law re ceipts the enormous revenu deflved from th 3 new war taxes during the month of July. More than this, the treasury reports previously i repared—we presume, in part, at least, by Howoll..show that the customs receipts from Dingley’s scientific schedules were more than $27;000,000 less in the fiscal yeir 1898 than the fiscal year 1897, aud that the total government receipts in 1898, less the mon y obtained from the Sale of the Union Pacific railroad, were $7,000000 less than in 1897. Howell’s figures will mislead no one who will take the trouble to analyze them.

Hon. Samuel M. Ralston, Demociatu candidate for Secretary of State, in his speech before the Frankfort convention, “ reviewing the monetary policy of this couni try, said: “In demanding the unlimited coinage of both gold and silver into standard money at a fixed ra* tio by law, we are not departing from the traditions of our party, or seeking to engraft a new or novel scheme of finance upon the country. We are but pleading for the restoration or the monetary system of our fathers, whose virtuous operation can be cited by its supporters in the absence of famine, starvation a t d the application of the gamblers’ art on the board of trade. Our position we know is impregnable, We in list that gold and silver at rates fixed by congress constitute the only standard of value allowable under our constis tutioD, and that the people have the right to the use of both metals m the monetary form, in the discharge of all dents, both private and public. We submit that if the constitution has made the stan* dard of value to c<.ns st of the two metals, congress has no authority to increase the value of the meass uring standard in the interest Ls the moneyichan -er and against the wealth - producer, by demonetizing silver, and thereby shifting the monetary demand responded tr by the two metals on to gold alone.”

BRIEF NOTES OF NOTABLES.

According to Hamilton W. Mablcy tne “Scarlet Letter” and are the best American novels. Lady Colin Campbell, erstwhile editor of a little paper called the Realm, Is a noted swimmer and fencer. Sir Julian Goldsmidt, who left about 11,000,000 to his daughters, has done so on the footing that if any of them marries a Gentile her Share Is to be reduced to half. Gov. Coffin pf Connecticut is good enough to say that reporters have been of service to him In reporting his speeches much better than he had delivered them. Those who think the Bamum white elephant story of a few years ago a fake may find a record in the New York custom house, where Hon. P, T. swore that the animal was worth $200,000. The Church Union, of which Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis has been the editor and proprietor tor more than ten years, has been sold to Rev. Samuel T. Carter, one of its contributing editors. Rev. Thomas Vincent Tymms, principal of Rawdon College, Leeds, Eng., and president-elect of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, is a man of brilliant scholarship. Among the books he has written, “The Mysterious God” is best known. Alfred Pereival Graves, M. A., the author of “Father O’Flynn,”‘is without doubt the most popular poet of Ireland alive. Mr. Graves has for long been one of her majesty’s Inspectors of schools,- and resides a,t Taunton. He comes from a distinguished people, being a son of the bishop of Limerick, and a son-in-law of the late Von Ranke, the German historian. Lord Arthur Hill, who may succeed Sir Henry Blake as governor of Jamaica, had a romantic wooing. His present wife was companion to his mother, the Marchioness of Devonshire. Thinking that a marriage with her would be against his interests, she suddenly disappeared,and it was only with difficulty that he could discover her whereabouts and induce her to reconsider her determination. It was this episode she embalmed In poetry In the well-known song, “In the Gloaming.” ;

ODDS AND ENDS.

An average of 1,000 pigs are eaten In London dally. Hollow glass bricks are now in use In Paris buildings. A pinoh of soda on a hot stove drives away disagreeable odors. The fastest train In France makes 58% miles an hour between Paris and Lille. Seven members of the British parliament hold 186 directorships in stock companies between them. Steam an old fowl before roasting it, and put a few sticks of celery inside the stuffing to flavor it. A cycle cleaning brigade Is proposed for London, the boys to be stationed at street corners, like the bootblacks. Cancer can be relieved and probably cured by local applications of calcium carbide, according to Dr. Guinard, of Pails. The annual increase of the German nation during the last five years has been more than five times as much as that of the French. Sir Henry Hawkins, Hon. Mrs. Henniker and a number of other prominent persons are thinking of building in London an animal’s hospital. Verestchagin, the painter, has. devised a revolving glass studio, which he turn* with a windlass, thus preserving light in the same direction all day long. A slice of common onion rubbed oh the spot is a certaip cure for a wasp sting. If the sting be in the throat or mouth an onion should be slowly chewed and swallowed. A pitcher of ice water laid in a newspaper, with the ends of the paper twisted together to exclude the air, will remain all night in any summer room with scarcely any perceptible melting yf the Ice.

SENSE AND SENTIMENT

Walls have ears. ( ~ Wedlock’s a padlock. *- Good clothes open all doors. £> Idleness is the key of beggary. V Good is God, and long Is eternity. Great trees keep down the little ones. Fortune helps them that help themselves. Idleness must thank itself if it ge barefoot. God healeth, and the physician hath the thanks. Nothing comes out of the sack but what was in it. For whom does the blind man’s wife paint herself? ’Tis In vain to kick after you have once put on fetters. We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Fools and madmen ought not to be left In their own company. Fools may ask more in an hour thaw wise men can answer In seven years. Patch by patch is good housewifery, but patch upon patch Is plain beggary.

Suspension Bridges.

The Romans built the first stone bridge across the Tiber. Suspension bridges are of remote origin. Klrohen mentions one made In China, with chains supporting the roadway, 880 feet in length, built A. D. 65, and may still be seen. The first large iron bridge was erected over the Severn In 1777.

Woman Suffrage a Success.

Gorged with Its Own Trash.

I do not believe that the English book hade is affected by what is called the financial depression of the times; I believe it has gorged Itself on its own trash, like the boa constrictor who lately swallowed his own blanket and died thereof. It suffers also from what every other trade suffers from in this lentury—the overcrowding of the tanks. What are wanted are a few great publishing houses—a very few. 'nstead of what should be this choice tew there are scores of firms Imbued with the same views of selling books as a grocer has of selling sugar and spice. Regarded merely os a trade* how far, how very far, is the publish*tog 1 trade of London removed from that 9t Paris? I contrast the cheapest Trench editions of my books with those if the cheapest English editions of them, the first so neat and simple in their glossy, plain paper covers, with their good paper and admirable typo within, and the second so atrocious in the gaudy pictorial cover, which ii deemed needful to attract the eyes of the British multitude!
