MY I'llANCKS M'C(II Mrs. l'.onton sat in her tidy little kitchen, ripping up her gray Henrietta dress. She sat in the kitchen because its smooth painted iloor was easier to free from the hits of thread and scraps than a carpeted one. She did her own work. There was u little line between
her eves, which deepened as su snipped with the sharp scissors. "I could cry if it would do the least .rood," she said, having acquired a habit of talking to herself. "1 want a new

rather uneoinfortanie.
She resolved to see Fred before speak

much during the tune. reu was om.y too glad to secure her .services, so she

Such a comparison reveals the fact that in 1890 the assessed value of property was 2501,309,771, while the total value of Missouri sheep was 1,914,023, or less than one-third of 1 per cent, of the 1 tin-able wealth of the state.

called protective tariffs can never bc i,..,rU- nroved than by the com
parison our correspondent has suggested. Hut the iuetneacy of tariff laws for the development of the wool industry can ba even more clearly proved. Official statistics and tables of prices
show that in 1802, witiim a year 1 the adoption of the McKinley law, 11 rrndes of wool had dc-
elined heavily. The greatest drop in price was 10 cents per pound and the smallest 3 cents. What is equally puzzling to sincere advocates of protectionism is the fact that within the three years following the adoption of the McKinley law the importations of foreign wool showed a steady increase. In 1S90 the percentage of foreign wool consumed in tho United States compared with the home-grown article was .. . 1 t , I t 1 1 Q

Our correspondent will be' able to see frem these statistics that he is not more opposed to a revival of the conditions under which they were possible than is the iitellitrent wool grower who has studied his
business and the effect of high tarills upon its promotion. If we might concede that it is ever justifiable ov desirable to employ the taxing power of the government to ocvelopany industry to a self-sustaining

For some time past tho McKinley newspapers have been filling a great part of their space with dispatches and editorial articles relating to the value 1 under the now tariff.

corresponding monius 1 - year ending on Juno 30, 1S93. a year m which the sacred McKinley tariff was
in force. , . , The treasury department published a few days ago a summary of the imports for the nine months ending- on March 31 and beginning on July 1. ISO I It will be noticed that the new tariff was m force for a little more 41 nf thsn nine months. In
the following table tho values of tho imports of the leading articles or kinds of goods for the nine months ending on March 31 last are compared with tho values for tho corresponding nino months ending on March 31, ISM, during which the McKinley tariff was io operation:

to be equivalent to an election, it might natv rally be supposed that every republican state at least would have its candidate, if not two or three of them. Hut the list continues to Ik? a very shor. one, albeit John Wanaraalccr has demonstrated with how little trouble a pushing man may find a place on it. and the friends of Gov. Morton, of New-
York, have made it plain that a pretty modest endowment of ability, somewhat blunted by age. may bc a suitable equipment for a candidate. The trouble seems to be that the practical politicians of the party arc "lying
low," or are contining tlicmseives 10 declarations of hostility rather than of preference to this or the other candidate. These gentlemen will doubtless be heard from at the proper time, and all the more surely because nothing recommends an aspiring statesman quite so much to the public nt the present time as a disposition to thwart the bosses. , Perhaps, however, the causes of th coyness of republican candidates lio deeper than the cautious attitude of the machine made party leaders.

Hat in the afternoon (v. 20) ol "that same dav" He appeared to "two ol them." It is expressly implied iu verse 33 that they were not apostles. 14. "And they talked together of all these things." Their conversation naturally turned on the, to them, all-absorbing question of the hour, the unlooked-for fateof their reverend teacher, the sudden overthrow of their hopes, and the startling and incredible news
of His resurrection. 15 "While they communed," the same word as talked together in verse 14. The conversation "flowed like waters after summer showers." "And reasoned," more exactly, questioned, 01 debated together. They were so absorbed that they did not notice at firs, when "Jesus Himself drew (was drawingi near." "The use of the imperfect here is verv beautiful. Jesus was already walking with them when the? observed Him." M. It. Vincent. 10. "Hut their eves were hohlen:" In what wav it is not said, but a partial
explanation is found in Mark 10: 1-. 1". Jesus began with oriental free dorn to enter into their conversation with the question, "What (omit mannet of) communications," words, "that ye have one to another:" literally, throw back and forth to each other. As Tennyson savs: ' Discussed a doubt and tossed It to and fro." "And are sad:" Rather,
"downcast": not merely a passing sadness, but as if their hopes were blighted. 15 "And the one of them whose name was Clcopas isee on v. 13) said unto Him: Art Thou a stranger in Jerusalem?" The literal rendering iv. Dost l'J. "Ami He said unto them: What things?'! In order to draw out their-
opinions. A propnet, miK and word before God." However the death of Jesus may have made them waver in their faith that He was the Messiah, the Iledeeincr, they had no .1 1.. t.n it.. wna 11 nronhet. for they
knew what He had done, and had heard His teachings. 20. "Our rulers . . . have crucified Him:" Treated Him as a talefac-i..Y-,,.t ;i :i uronhet.
i "Hut we trusted." Rather, we ho'pcd, we wore hoping; "with hope stronger than faith." Stier. The imperfect implies that this had been their habitual qectatlon for some period ot time, "That it had been He which
should have redeemed Israel: xnau He wss the Messiah. 25. "Then He said unto them, O foöls " This is an unfortunate translation in the light of the populaV use of the word "fool." The word is equivalent to dull of perception, and refers to'their understanding, as the next phrase, slow of heart, goes deeper and contemplates the region of feeling and moral rcsponsibilitj'. 20. "Ought not (the) Christ (the Messiah to have suffered these things?" The verv things which shook their faith in Jesus as the Messiah wer essential to His Messbhship.
