IT FAILED TO WORK. Mr. No’.thorpa's Theory About the j Treatment of Woman. That man is only mortal and liable to error is a well-e stablished rule, and there are in the world a certain number of men, each of whom considers himself the exception that we all know is necessary to prove a rule of this kind. Charlie Nelthorpe was one of the number, lie was a prig- of the first water. lie looked at all things and discussed all things from a supremely ■ priggish point of view, but no subjeet displayed his priggishness to such advantage—or shall I say disadvantage— as the subject of women. On that subject he held himself an indisputable authority. There was no reason why he should, for he was young as yet, and had really had no very special experience of the opposite sex; but your fullblown typical prig generally rises superior to such a secondary consideration as reason. Charlie rose superior to it. and would expound his views and theories at as gre at length and with as ! much assurance as if he had ilevoted a i long life and highly-cultured intellect j to the study of that particular hiero- j glj-phic which is called woman. He was a great believer in what he I called “Systematic training.” That is ■ to say, he considered that women ought to be treated according to a cerjtain system that he hael evolved from his inner consciousness. The beauty ! of the system ih his e3*es was the fact that it required no modifications, but might with safety be rigorously enforced in every case. It could not fail. Charlie was the lucky possessor of an unencumbered estate with a very considerable ren t roll, and he intended to find a woman who loved him for what he was, without a thought for ■what he had, and who would have shared a mud hu t or a garret with him just as gladly as she would share his fine old nlace in Yorkshire. When he had found her, he meant to train her on his infallible system. That was his programme, and it never occurred to him to distrust his powers of carrying it out. His belief in himself was absolute, and the infallibility of his reasoning and judgment a thing that to his mind did >4aot admit of the slightest shadow of a doubt. When he became engaged, his male friends were quite excited in their anxiety to see the woman whom he had deigned to honor with his approval, and when they had seen her there was but one opinion among the lot of them.

“An uncommon nice girl, and any amount too good for that prig Nelthorpe. Well, well, fools for luck!” That was the unanimous verdict. Lord Dolly Dashwood. one of Charlie's closest friends—by that I mean one of a certain select circle who frequently borrowed fivers of him, which they forgot to repay—waxed eloquent upon the subject. “Sensible little girl, don’t you know. Knows how to talk to a fellow, don’t you know. Knows how to listen to a fellow, too. Thrown away on a chap like Nelthorpe. Beastly conceited cad, without two ideas. Any sort of woman good enough for him, don’t you know.” The favored few who were privileged to listen to this flight of eloquence received it with the reverence that it deserved. No one spoke. No one could spea k. Astonishment held them all silent. His lordship was not, as a rule, a brilliant orator, and the fact that he was capable of such a sustained and remarkable effort as the one recorded atove came upon his audience with quite a shock. It was nothing short of a revelation. Eva Carrington, the bride-elect, was a beauty. A softly-tinted skin,satin smooth and veined like ti e petal of a rose; fair, fluffy hair that shone golden bright in the sunlight; clear, smiling eyes of heaven’s own blue, and innocent, rosy lips that looked just made for the first kiss of love, were all blended together in a dainty anf i most fascinating whole. Her manner was childishly fresh and simple, and men fonnd her altogether delightful. Women had their doubts of her—doubts that were principally due to the childlike manner aforesaid, and to a certa in pretty trick of look

fag up quickly and then down with those great innocent eyes of hers—but women, of cowse, are invariably spite* ful and unfair towards their own se;c. Men, as we all know, have the monopoly of just and (generous judgment. “Well, Eva’s soft blue eyes and bright little ways wrought dire destruction in the ranks of the stronger sex, but she appeared quite unconscious of her power, or indifferent to it. To all intents and purposes, she was completely wrapped up in the man she had promised to marry, llis will was her law. and to please him the chief object of her life. In short, his Her total submission'delighted him. and he took every advantage of it. It was not in him to show generosity to a woman, or. indeed, to anything that he thought weaker than bimsexf. He was the sort of man who is brutal to his dogs and horses, and overbearing to his servants, who, in short, tyrannizes whenever he can do so without fear of retaliation. His nature asserted itself in his dealings with the woman he loved, and he took the keenest possible pleasure in trading on her forbearance, taxing her endurance to the utmost and showing off her pliant will and obe dient temper to the world at large. It was all a part of the system that could not fail. Ninety-nine jvomen out of a hundred would have torn the system to shreds and scattered it to the four winds of heaven. Eva Carrington was the hundredth woman. She submitted to everything with the most remarkable patience, and no word or complaint or reproach ever passed her lips. Hut after a time she grew quieter, and her bright spirits seemed to flag. Her merry, girlish laughter was not nearlj* so ready as it had been six months ago, and the corners of her pretty mouth began to droop with a wistful expression that was pathetic enough to touch the hardest of mascu

line hearts. Charlie's friends all noticed the ehauge and commented upon it among' themselves, and applied to him a varied selection of opprobrious epithets. Lord Dolly Dasliwood displayed a surprising amount of fluency on the subject. “Beastly cad. No idea how to treat a woman. Ought to be horsewhipped, don’t you know. Shall have to out him, by Jove! Wouldn’t take a fiver from him now if he offered it. CanH stand “this sort of thing, you know, lleyond a joke." Thus his lordship, and a t ood deal more that would not look well on paper. Charley went on giving his petty arrogance full play, until, as was only to be reasonably expected, things came to a crisis. The wonder was they had not done so long before. On the occasion of Lady BrownJones’ ball he went the length of forbidding his fiancee to dance round dances with anyone but himself, and, though she recived his commands without a murmur, her soul rose fin passionate revolt against his tyranny. This last test that he had devised seemed to her the worst of all. As a matter of fact, she had submitted patiently to far harder ones; but we all know the feminine capacity for swallowing a camel and straining at a gnat, and Eva was no less inconsequent than the rest of her sex. The gnat stuck in her throat and obstinately refused to be dislodged. There always must be a last straw, and this was it. When the ball was half over Lord Dolly put in an appearance, and at that moment Eva happened to bs sitting quite alone. Charlie had left her for a minute or two to speak to a friend, and she w’as looking wistfully at the maze of couples that revolved before her. Lord Dolly made straight for her. “‘Not dancing, Miss Carrington! Luck for me, by Jove! Ripping waltz, this. Have a turn?" He stuck out his elbow invitingly, but Eva turned away, biting her lip. “No, thank you!” she answered, in a low tone, “1 can’t dance with you. Lord Dolly.” “Can’t?” echoed his lordship. “How’s that? What’s up? Not ill, are you? Not cross with me—eh?” Eva shook her head. “No, 1 am not ill or cross, but—but I have promised Charlie only to waltz with him. He doesn’t like to see me waltzing With other men.” Lord Dolly choked down a forcible, but inelegant remark, cleared his throat violently, and ran his fingers through his hair. The two latter proceedings were signs of severe mental disburbance. There was a slight pause. “And he dances so awfully badly,” Eva went on, with a queer little catch in her breath. “He 6an’t waltz a bit— not a little wee bit.! He—he holds you all wrong.” Her voice quivered and broke on the last word, and she^looked up at the man by her side with great tearful eyes, like forget-me-nots drowned in dew. That look finished it. Lord Dolly was only a man. “Beastly shame!” he said, hurriedly. “Come with me. Nice and quiet out on the veranda. A * fellow can talk ♦here, don’t you know? Come along!” And Eva went.

Charlie Nelthorpe was bristling with '^outraged pride and wounded selfesteem when he went to pay his customary visit to Eva^on the day following Lady l>rown-Jones’ ball. Therfact that Eva could forget herself and the respect' that was due to him so far as to sit on tlfe veranda with Lord Dolly for half an hour had been a severe blow to him, and he had not yet recovered from the shock. He had refrained from commenting upon her conduct at the time, buthow he meant to take it out of her, and reduce her to the state of abject penitence that he considered befitting the occasion. She was reading when went into the room, but she laid her book aside at once. “Oh! Chari^ft is that you?” Charlie rfjjrned. “How „ often have I told you, my dear Eva, that a self-evident fact re

quires no asserting?” be asked, in hi a most dogmatic tone. She shrugged her shoulders. “How often? Oh! I don't know. A | hundred times, I dare say. You look j cross, Charlie.” Charlie frowned again. There was an intangible something in Eva’s tone and manner that was not wont to$>e there. Something that he could neither define nor understand, though he fedt it instinctively. “I am not cross, Eva, but I am grieved—grieved beyond measure. ! Your conduct last night caused me ! acute pain, the more so as you ex- I pressed no rtegret for it. But 1 hope J you are in a better frame of mind today, and ready to say you are sorry for what you did. Until you have done so, I really don’t feel that I can kiss you.” Charlie fully expected that this stupendous threat would reduce Eva to the lowest depths of despair, and bring her, figuratively speaking, to her knees; but for once he was out in his calculations. She drew up her slender figure and pursed up her rosy lips with an air that made him feel vaguely uneasy. Was it possible, he wondered, that she intended to defy him? Yes. Her next words proved that it wa§ so. “I am not sorry,” she said, ‘‘not a bit. I am glad. I would do it again.” Charlie gasped. The situation was so unlooked for that he could not rise to it all at once. “As for kissing me,” Eva went on, with a little disdainful moue, “well, you will never have the chance of doing that again, so you need not excite yourself.” Charlie found his voice then. “You are talking at random now, Eva,” he said, severely, “a bad habit against which I haye always warned you. Will you be kind enough to ex- - plain yourself?*Eva tilted her small nose in the air. and a horrible doubt suddenly assailed him. ‘ Was there—could there be a hitch in the infallible system, after all? The thought appalled him.

“Oh, certainly,” Eva answered, “I can do it in a very few words. Lord Dolly proposed to me last night and 1 accepted him.” Charlie gasped again. “But you are engaged to me,” he ejaculated. “You must be mad. You can’t seriously contemplate throwing me over for Dolly Dashwood. The thing’s impossible.'* She looked at him and smiled. “Incredible as it may seem to you, I do contemplate it.” “But—but—but,” stammered Charlie, “this is very er—extraordinary behavior on yonr part, Eva. Are you aware that you propose to treat me in a most dishonorable way, and—and— er—in short, very badly?” Her face grew grave. “I should be sorry to do that,” she said, more gently, “I—I don’t want to be dishonorable, or to treat you badly, Charlie. But I am only human, and no one but myself knows what I have gone through in the last few months. You have tried me too hard. I was very fond of you at one time, and if you had treated me fairly I should have been very fond of you still. But you would wear out a saint—and I am only a woman. I don’t think Lord Dolly will be hard on me. He may not be very brilliant, but at all events he is a man—the sort of a man we call a gentleman—and knows how to be generous even to such an altogether inferior creature as a mere woman.” She paused and looked critically ait her rejected lover, who now presented a truly pitiable appearance, with all the starch taken out of him, and a general air of limp depression pervading his being. “That is all,” she went on presently. “But before you go there is one thing that I should like to impress Upon you for future guidance: It is always worth a man’s while to be just i and fair—even to a woman.” She paused again and contemplated him with her big blue eyes, but he said nothing. He was too bewildered to speak. It seemed to him that all the laws of creation were reversed, and the whole scheme of the universe turned upside down. There was a hitch in the system somewhere. It had failed.—London Truth.

On Turning Up Trousers. I am asked to explain why some men think it fashionable to turn up the bottoms of their trousers, and how such a fashion originated. Men may turn up their trousers in wet weather without i reproach, because the doing so is neat and thrifty; but to turn up trousers in ; dry weather was first thought of by a lot of London bank clerks, who sit on the razor-back tops of the Oxford street omnibuses, and are apt to rub the bottoms of their trousers against the hardware of the seats. To keep them turned up through the day probably struck them as economical. But I have never seen men of fashion in London turn up their trousers under any circumstances. In wot weather they take cabs, but for one of them to appear on Rotten Row in the season with his trousers turned up would be justly considered as a serious breach of decorum. I am aware that a noble earl at a wedding recently in this city appeared at the altar with his trousers turned up. ■< But 1 am forced to conclude he intended that as a cynical practical joke on the anglo-maniacs and weak imitators he had met at the New York clubs, who think it is English to wear trousers turned up an inch at the bottom.—N. Y. Press. Ships That Pass In the Night. “What kind of a ship is that?” she asked, as a vessel crossed the moon’s track while they were gazing opt upon the sea. “That is a schooner yacht,” he replied. “Ah,” she murmured, “how I should like to have a schooner yacht.” “Well,” said he, “as you cannot have a schooner yacht, what do you say to a little smack?” and he suited the action to the word, and she was satisfied.—N. Y. Prqss.

DEMOCRATS NOT IN POWER. Vkr W Tariff Reform Has Not Been * Brooch* About. The democratic party is not in power at the national capital. It cannot control legislation in congress. It is help- j less to pass an important and vital measure, which was promised in the democratic platform of IS93, and which by an enormous majority the people demanded at the ballot box. The plighted faith of the democratic party stands unredeemed. It has been powerless to fulfill its pledges. The work which it was appointed to do—which declared should be done—has not been done. One year and four months ago a democratic president was sworn into office, and the term of a national congress l&gan with a nominal democratic majority in both the senate and the house. There was no such majority. Eight or nine senators elected as democrats have aeted in alliance with the republicans. They have not cast' a democratic vote on the tariff bill. They have voted just as McKinley would have voted had he.been in the senate. It is an error to say that the democrats arc in power while a faction of senators classed as such—enough in number to destroy the democratic majority in the senate—are casting republican votes, conspiring with republican leaders to defeat the democratic tariff bill and are in open insurrection against the democratic sentiment of the country. The president and the house of representatives are united in a determination that the demociatic pledges of 1893 shall be kept in good faith with the people. They have presented a tariff bill which was the best that the necessities of the .case would authorize—not perfect, but a long step in advance - a measure of practical re

lorm. Tho senate refused to accept this measure. Under republican control— by a majority composed of the regular corrupt republican forces and a guex<rilla contingent of bogus democrats— the democratic tariff bill appears destined to defeat If anything shall be saved, it will be- merely what the house and the president can extort from a hostile, undemocratic senate. The coal senators, the iron ore senators, the sugar senators and the collars and cuffs senator have repudiated democracy, repudiated the platform of 1892, repudiated the popular instructions adopted at the ballot box, and are determined to force on the country a tariff dictated by tru^l deed, by the monopoly combine and by and by the republicans, or they will prevent the passage of any tariff bill. These recalcitrants and renegades are not democrats. They are republicans, bearing a false name and carrying false colors. • These senators misrepresented their states, the democratic constituncies of the country and the body of the people. They are a bushwhacking detachment of the party of trusts, monopoly, protection and organized fraud. They have betrayed the country. They have been false to the duty which they were instructed to perform. If these false democrats shall be successful now in defeating reform tariff legislation tho result will not be chargeable to the democratic party of the nation. It will be simply another republican victory—a victory of the' party of trusts, monopolies, class legislation, of corporate greed and extortion, reenforded by a group of sordid an<l faithless politicians who have violated party allegiance and forfeited the name of democrats. This will bo a calamity. But it will be no reason for giving up the fight. It will be a reason for fighting '.he future battles of reform with increased vigor, courage and zeal. The people have been betrayed. But the cause is not lost. The contest will be continued. The faithless, the cowardly, the trimmers and the traitors will be driven to tho rear. This reverse will be retrieved. Better men will be clothed with thh trust to which these recreants were untrue, and it will be discharged in the spirit of the instructions given by the voters to their representatives. — Chicago Herald. «s _

THE CAUSE OF CONTENTION. What the Republicans and Assistant Republicans Are Striving: For. “If the senate bill be not passed, the McKinley law will remain on the statute book,” declared Senator Vest, defiantly, speaking not for himself alone, but for many of his colleagues. And what are the special provisions of the senate bill whose acceptance the senate demands under threat of McKinleyism as the only alternative? 5 All the differences between the house and senate were found easy Jbf adjustment by the conference committee except as to sugar, coal and iron ore. The senate is prepared to defeat all tariff legislation unless it can get a differential duty on refined sugar, which will benefit the sugar trust, and a on coal and iron, which certain senators demand as the price of their votes for the bill. The president of the sugar trust is quoted freely and without contradiction as having declared, as long ago as 18S3, that sugar can be refined in the United States at a cheaper labor cost than in England, France or Germany. The common republican defense of a protective duty, adopted by the Gorman party in tho senate, is that it must bo enough to make up the difference between cheaper foreign labor and American labor. There is no such difference in this case. The foreigner has already the best of it. The proposed tax is not for the purpose of holding up American wages, but of swelling the profits of the greatest trust that flourishes under our laws—a trust that pays enormous dividends and fears publicity so much that it is engaged in desperately resisting the efforts of the state of Massachusetts to force it to comply with the law and make a statement of its financial condition. Coal is an article whose price not only plays an important part in estimating the cost of living in every household, but figures largely in the oost of manufactured products. The I

people are entitled to cheap coal. That a tax upon it is necessary for increasing- the wages of coal miners is a pretense that no man can seriously, urge. There will be a market for every bushel of coal mined, with or ' without a protective tax, and at prices that will,justify reasonable wages to the miners. The recent coal strike dis>* closed the fact that the existing duty on coal was totally ignored in fixing wages of miners, whose wages had been needlessly cnt to less than the tax imposed professedly for their benefit It has been our boast that we can produce iron cheaper than any country in the world. We do not yet know how far we can go in reducing the cost of it A Birmingham firm has recently turned out iron at six dollars and fifty cents a ton. and throughout the south and the northwest there are advantages in the location of beds of iron ore that no other country in the world possesses. The proposed taxes on refined sugar, iron ore and coal are bounties pure and simple. Yet the senate proposes to vote them or to make the country put up with the McKinley bill.—Louisville Courier* Journal #

JTHE SUGAR TAX. Why the Bcpobllmni Stick So Closely to the McKinley Bill. tt is obvious that the alluring shibboleth, **a free breakfast table,” is the influencing' cause of much of the opposition to the sugar tax in the pending tariff bill. There is a fascination in the idea that the essential elements qi the poor man's matutinal meal shall be exempt from all elements that might add to its cost, and there is a more or less widely diffused delusion that under the present law sugar is free from taxation. But, as a matter of fact, it is taxed to an extent without parallel. The two eents a pound bounty to the growers of raw sugar and the fivetenths of a cent tariff on all the products of the sugar trust combine to create an enormous levy, and, though it is collected on the clothing and blankets of the people, and is presented bodily to the beneficiaries, does not in the least degree alter the facts in the case. It is a tax just the same, and a tax that is criminal because it is an unconstitutional robbery. The plain truth of the matter is that because of republican profligaoy and the inefficiency of the McKinley bill as a revenue law. the country is confronted by an impending treasury deficiency. To avoid such a calamity it is necessary to discover new sources of revenue. With that idea in view, the pending bill provides for withdrawing the unconstitutional gratuity to the sugar growers and the sugar trust and divert an equal amount of the money that is taken from the pockets of the people into the treasury. The bounty to the sugar growers will amount this year to about §25,000,000. The “protection" to the trust is §20,000,000, making a total of §45,000,000 of taxation on sugar, comparatively little of which goes into the treasury. The pending bill will draw about an equal amount from the people, but every cent of it except that which goes for expenses of collection will go into the treasury and be available for the ordinary expenses of the government, relieving the people of taxes on other necessaries to that amount. We would be glad if it were possible to secure tbis reform in the revenue system without affording' protection to the sugar trust, but the democratic majority in the senate is so meager that the defection of a single vote would put the whole measure in jeopardy. The sugar trust, like all other trusts, is obnoxious to the demo tic party, and any legislation that would destroy it would be welcome to the democratic people. But according to the best information attainable it is not possible to accomplish this result. One or two senators who hold title to their seats through democratic suffrage declare their intentions to bolt unless the odious concessions are made to them. The consequence would be the continuance of the McKinley bill, which is what the sugar trust and the republican party desires. The late Gov. Moses once said, by way of encouragement to his carpet-bag associates in the south: “There are a couple of years good stealing in the south yet." It is an analogous sentiment that influences the republcans to adhere to the McKinley bill with such marvelous tenacity.—Kansas City Times.
