MISTAKES OF HISTOW^T t Bmsn That Creep lata the Pepeilar Mtad aad Are Hard to Kradlcala “What is history but tnbnollj ao* cepted fable?” said a learned Smith* again professor. ‘‘I quote the great Napoleon. For example, consider Plymonth rock. In the town of Plymouth Sa a rock with a fence around it. It is a sort of local fetish. On Forefather’s -day every year exercises are held there commemorating the alleged fact that «a this rock the pilgrims landed. As a matter of fact, there is no evidence 'that such was the fact. Prof. Chaniung, the historical expert of Harvard, has traced the story back, and believes it to have been started by an old man named Faunce, who many years ago pointed put the ro«k to some children, caving: ‘‘Here they landed,” “History states that the pilgrims arrived on Sunday, hut refrain^ fr°m landing until Monday lest they should break the Sabbath. That is pure non* ootfmo- As a matter of fact, the women and children stayed on the ship, all winter because it was more comfortable. “The gorgeousness and high civilization of the ancient Mexicans at the time of the Spanish conquest have been permanently embalmed ini history. The whole story is a misrepresentation. Cortez naturally wished to give the impression at home that he had conquered a great and rich nation. In reality it was only a half-ci'rilized and untutored people. The mode of living was patriarchal, whole families of one hundred or more persons living in one house. The communal dwelling was of one story and necessarily of lanje liw These structures were described by the Spaniards as ‘palaces.’ The people ate only one cooked, meal each day, for the rest of their food depending on a ‘grub diet* picked tip anyhow. The dinners partaken of by so many individuals are reported in history as •banquets.’ •The schoolboy learns that Columbns was the man who first conceived the idea that the world was round. Nothing could be more nonsensical. The. truth is, that he merely accepted a notion on this subject which had been handed down from classic times by scholarly men. Strabo, the Latin author, was one of these. The conception was for many centuries as a faint light glimering in darkness. “Let me call your attention to an instance of the making of fictitious his- ! tory. There are excellent reasons'for believing that the Norsemen reached the shores of North America before Columbus. The records of their ^agas. however, give no notion of the locality where they landed. Only a few such non-descriptive facts are stated as that they found grapes grovring. Yet an enthusiast na.med Horsford, a trustee of Harvard, a few years ago built on the Charles river a tower between 'Waltham and Newton to commemorate the landing of the Norse I voyagers at that point. .The sagas tell of going; up a river and Horsford chose to assume that the Charles river was the river .referred to. Very likely the notion thus recorded by a monument will gain a general credit some day, though there is no more reason to suppose that the river was the Charles than that it was the Delaware or Hudson, or any one of dozens of other rivers. * “I quoted Napoleon a moment ago. Von probably know that, no battle was ever fought at Waterloo. Waterloo was a post dispatch station some miles distant. Dispatches were sent thence I to England, and hence t he name given to the battle. “Sheridan’s ride to Winchester was sot twenty miles—not over ten miles, think. There never was any foundation in fact for the story of Barbara Frietchie. The same is true of the yarns about Pocahontas and John Smith.”—Washington Star.

Conflicting Views of Eloquence, v! In the recently published life of George William Curtis there is an account of a conversation between Mr. Curtis and Roscoe Conkling on the •abject of eloquence at the time when the relations of the two men with each other had beq» undisturbed. Mr. Conkling asked Mr. Curtis what was the most eloquent passage of an author he could remember. Mr. Curtis immediately recited a passage from one of Emerson’s essays..- Mr. Conkling failed to approyq^it as the best specimen witain His knowledge, and gave :=£0s%fisrtfea.\ an extract from Charles Sprague's Fourth of July oration in Boston descriptive of the American Indian as onr forefathers found him. Mr. Curtis found this extract only ridiculous in the comparison, and confesses to have been so impolite as to laugh after it was recited. The effect upon the mighty Roscoe can well bo imagined.—Boston Herald. ^ His Maimer of Working. “Yes, I’ve been working like a dog lately,” grumbled Swiggles, leaning hack in.his chair at the club house. ; “Like a setter dog'1” asked the other ’fellows. ^ Without shifting his position Swiggles lazily pushed the button of th© -electric bell and oi-dered four largo hears:—Chicago Tribune.

T wu several yeisrs ugo, when 1 was etiil in mj teens, and the ride I took was. one between Fort, Concho and El Paso. On this occasion there was no one but the driver and my

■elf, ana tne miu > _ “stage coach” was one in name only, being simply a backboard, with two seats and no top. It was the ride,, however, that I wanted, so the mode of conveyance cut but a small figure in the case. The driver, who was a naan of about sixty and an old frontiersman, confided to me, a short while after we "had started, the fact that he bad driven between Santo Fe and some point which he had forgotten, but that the present route was a much more dangerous one; then he asked me what weapons of defense I had brought along. 1 frankly confessed that I was unarmed, not even having a pistol in the rather heavy valise which I had put in the bottom of the vehicle. “Well, my young feller, it’s likely jrou’ll wish you had brought a pistol along afore we get to the eend o’ our trip,” he said, bluntly, % “I never once thought I would have use for a pistol,” I said apologetically, “especially when 1 saw yon had one in your belt. Do yon really think I will have use forbne?” “They’re handy things to have around when yon need ’em,” he said. senUintioualy. “I’d spoke about it afore we started, only I didn’t think Kain* tuckians ever went anywheres without bein’ fixed for fightin’.” . “Is there danger of our being attacked?” I questioned,a little dubiously, remembering my defenseless condition and the long distance that lay between me and home. “If we don’t see any Injuns, it’ll be surprisin’.” Then he reached down in front of him and brought from under some blankets a short gun which he handed me. “It moat be jest as well for you to earry this,” he said. “There’s nothin' like bein’ ready.” We traveled on quite a distance, and, after it had begun to grow dark, stopped in -a convenient spot by the roadside, kindled a fire, and, with the aid of some canned goods, ply pared a supper that we found mostappetizing after our long ride, j i Then we got into the br.ckboard once more and drove on. It was now s difficult matter to distinguish even the road, and the driver finally left the way to the intelligence of the two mules that were hitched to the buckboard. A cold wind was blowing and I had wrapped my blankets closely about me, allowing the gun, which had grown unpleasantly heavy, to slip down to the bottom of the vehicle. The road seemed on an up grade and the driver suddenly said: “If we air a-goin’ to ran agin any Injnns to-night, it’s my notion it’ll be some’eres in the nex’ two br three miles. The road bends around a small mountain jest in front of ns, an’ there’s one place where the road’s party narrer an’ steep. I’ve a mind the varmints'll lay for us in jest some sech a place as that There’s one. thing in onr favor, though—the wind’s bio win’ this way an’ the mules’ll scent ’em afore we’d know that Injuns was anywheres near.” It seemed to me that he had scarcely spoken these words, when suddenly the mules abruptly .turned from the road, and before the driver could check them they had dashed down a gentle declivity through the chaparral. I'

, me movement was so suaaen tnat the buckboard barely escaped being' overturned. I was totally unprepared for such a thing, and, lie fore I knew what had happened, I found myself going head over heels out of my seat into a mesquite bush by the roadside, and finally landed in a wholly undig* nified manner on the sandy soil out of which it grew. The mesquite, by the way, is the wood that is frequently broken with a sledge-hammer for fuel in this country. * For a moment I lay stunned, while the noise of the retreating team «nd vehicle crashing through the bush grew fainter and fainter; then it seemed as if the loud throbbing ofi my heart drowned all other sound. I held my breath and listened intently. The noise of the runaway team I now no longer heard, nor in fact any recognizable sound; but it seemed as if there was the stealthy movement of some unseen objects here and there about me, though it may have been only the wind among the bushes. Finally, even this ceased, and an intense quiet succeeded. Feeling that I could not lie there on the sand all night, or that if I did 2 might only delay my scalping until the morning, 1 determined to make an an effort to get away from that spot, although I had no definite idea as to where I wanted to go * I began to crawl cautiously along on my hands and knees, following as well as I could determine the direction the frightened team had taken; for after a little reflection I concluded that my greatest safety lay in finding them and the driver, though th is seemed an almost impossible thing to do, for I could not see my hand before me and had no idea of the points of the compass. If I had taken a calmer view of the mat ter I would have understood that it was a dangerous thing to leave the road and wander into the trackless waste, where I might get hopelessly lost

MJ ruling1 desire, however, mi to find my companion and his team, and, patting aside all other thoughts, I bent my every energy to this end. 1ly hands were torn and bleeding, and every now and then 1 would run head foremost into a cactus plant, at the imminent risk of putting out my eyes; indeed, it is a matter of wonder even to this day how they escaped utter destruction. At last I concluded that 1 could make better progress and that it would be equally as safe for me to take an upright position; and this I accordingly did. How long I wandered through the bush, or how far, I am unable to state; but when I grew utterly exhausted and hopelessly bewildered, I fell down on the sand and began to wonder what my fate was to be and how long I would probably live without food and water.

t or the first time 1 realized that l had no longer the traveled road by which to direct my course—that I had wandered away from the landmark even, and that 1 was lost in the wilds of a new country. If I had only held on to my gun 1 would then have had at least a weapon of defense and perhaps a means of sustenance, as I,might have been able to procure food by killing what small game came in my way. x But I had let the short gun slip down to the bottom of the buckboard, and when the violent lurch sent me flying out of it I had no time to provide myself with either luxuries or necessities. As I lay there in the darkness and silence, vainly endeavoring to formulate some plan of deliverance from my unhappy situation and almost unable to arise through sheer exhaustion, suddenly my alert ear detected a movement among the bushes a little to the right of where I lay, and then a welcome sound greeted them that I shall never forget: “Whoa! Jinny.” Jennie was the gray mule of the team behind which I had been riding, and the speaker was hone other than the driver. I had accidentally stumbled directly upon them. I was not long in reaching them, and even then I came near paying dearly for the privilege, for almost before 1 could proclaim my identity, I felt the cold muzzle of a pistol at my head. “Confound itl lad, you oughtn’t to have popped up on a feller suddent like that. 1 came mighty high taken you for a Injun!” exclaimed the driver, when I had hastily made myself known. “It’s a lucky thing, sonny, that somethin’ sorter prompted me as it might be you. That’s why I kinder hung fire.” For answer I burst inton low laugh. I suppose it was the reaction of the highly-strung tension to which my nerves had been subjected during the last few hours, but the driver attributed it to my ignorance of or indifference to the danger we had not yet fully escaped. “If them Injuns once get holt o’ you ’twon’t seem sich a laughin’ matter,” he said, impressively. After a brief consultation we decided that the best thing to be done was to remain quietly where we were

THE COLD MUZZLE OP A PISTOL AT MX HEAD. until the morning as it was quite out of the question to attempt to find our way back to the road through the bush and darkness. , Fjrst one kept watch, then the other, through the long hours that yet intervened before morning dawned, and by this means each one secured slight snatches of rest and sleep. When it grew light enough to distinguish objects, we found that the buckboard was slightly broken; but with the aid of a rope which had been brought along and some pliable pieces of wood, the damage was quickly repaired, and we finally succeeded in finding the road and making our way to the next post. I overheard the driver relating the adventure of the past night to one of the soldiers stationed at the post, and he ended by saying: “An’ don’t you think that young chap from Kaintuek jest laughed fit to kill when it was all over an’ he come up with me an’ the team? He’s the bravest an* coolest youngster I ever seen, or else the blamedest fool—one or t’other, I dunno which.”—Illustrated American. * V; Early Postage Rates. Ip the early part of this century the postage on a single sheet of paper was eight cents, and over forty miles the rate was increased, so that over five hundred miles a single sheet was twen-ty-five cents. But after a time these rates were gradually reduced, until in 1845 a letter not over half an ounce was five cents under three hundred miles, and over that distance ten cents. Sir Rowland Hill, who was at the head of the post bffice department of England at this time, introduced the use of postage stamps in 1840, and also lessened the charges for postage. In 1847 .the United States adopted the use of the postage stamp, the lowest-priced one being five cents. —Cape Conception. Cal., was called after one of the vessels in the fleet of Cortez. ■ f:-;.'•

WHAT THEY WANT. Tkm AaMricn Fretoettve Tariff I mgma After Um Eertk. • The organ of the American Proteo* tiro Tariff league (the American Economist) puDiished an article on wool, designed in part to show that there ought to be a high duty on the cheap and coarse wools which are used in making carpets, and which are impart* ed for the good reason that they are not produced in this country. More than 75 per oeut. of the wool imported in 1888 was of this class, the carpetmaker’s raw material, hnd the imposition of a dnty on snch wool has been one of the greatest absurdities of American tariff legislation. The old duty was even increased by the McKinley act, and in 1803 the McKinley law on this raw material was equivalent to almost 33 per emit. The American Economist asserts that our climate is “adapted to the growing of superior carpet wools.” “What a country may be able to do climatically,” it continues, “is. of little importance, however, if the financial side of the problem is not advantageous. The fact seems to be plain that we do not produce onr own carpet wools, and the reason seems * to be plain, also, via, that there has been less money for the producer in growing the cheap, coarse grades than in growing the fine ones.” and by its comments upon a letter from a wool dealer it leads the reader to infer that there has been “less money” in growing carpet wool simply because the duty has not been high enough.

• no tariff wav me American people could be induced to impose could make an intelligent American wool grower use his time and labor in keeping a sheep whose coarse fleece, suitable for carpets, must always and everywhere he worth much less than a fleece of fine clothing or combing wool, so long as he should not he forbidden by law to use the same time and labor ill keeping a sheep whose fleece must be worth at least twice as much. But if there are people "In Asia who are willing to grow that kind of wool, this country may fairly buy their wool and derive benefit from their willingness to supply it. Does the league believe that any practicable tariff could enable the wool grower in this country to sell coarse carpet wool at the price of fine clothing wool? & Has the American Protective Tariff league forgotten what it said not long ago in this same weekly organ about the tariff on carpet wool? If so, we will refresh its memory by directing its attention to the following, its own utterance; ■ “The assertion is again advanced that the United States is capable of producing the bulk of the carpet wools used in the country. We think thfesis^ an unfortunate position for the wool growers to take; for it is very far from an undisputed truth that the lower grades of carpet wool can be produced in this country except under such conditions of protection as would make the business an absurdity. It is well known that the lowest grades of carpet wools are from wild sheep, and could never be produced in this country at a cost for production which would require from 500 to 1,000 per cent, of protection. It would be far better to concede this truth, and endeavor to reach a combination with the carpet^ manufacturers based upon a reasonable and fair statement of facts.” Will the tariff league now, using its own estimate, recommend the imposition of a duty of “from 500 to 1,000 per cent.” upon carpet wool, in order that domestic wool growers may be encouraged to produce carpet wool “under such conditions of protection as would make the business an absurdity?” The McKinley tax on the coarse carpet wools of Asia has been cut off, and it will never be restored.— N, Y.

THE SUGAR COMBINE. Exposure of the Secret Connections between the $n«ar Trust and Wholesale Grocers’ Associations. -v There is one phase of the sugar trust which the public is but little .familiar. Most people know something: of the trust’s ability to dictate prices of both raw and refined sugars; to close refineries and throw men out of work; to manipulate its stocks in Wall street, by means of false rumors as to prospective dividends or profits; to defy laws and courts by refusing to give statistics to the census department; or to allow senate committees to examine its books; and to bribe enough senators to | procure favorable^ legislation. But I few people,4 however, .know that dur- ! ing the last four years the trust has , built up nearly forty wholesale gro-: cers’ associations which now cover all ] parts of this country and _ has so planned them that their most impor- ; tant function is to serve the base inter- ! ests of the trust. Yet such is the case, j By an ingeniously devised system of ] rebates to the grocers who are mem- j bers of wholesale associations and who : sell only the trust’s sugars (or sugars of refiners aiilied with the trust—as ; practically alji how are) at prices fixed daily by thmrust, the grocers’ associations beeome the instruments of the trust in sustaining prices so that no ' person in this country can obtain sugar j except at trust prices. More than that; the profits from the rebates have been large enough to make allies and defenders of these natural enemies of the ! trust. Several times, when called up- j on, these grocers have sent in hundreds i of telegrams to congressmen from all parts of the country begging or threatening them not to favor legislation which would destroy some or all of the unholy profits of the sugar trust. Congressman John DeWitt Warner, who secured the passage of the free si%ar bill through the house, and who is, perhaps, the best posted on sugar trust matters of any man not connected with the sugar business, has written a very interesting pamphlet, printed by the Reform club of New York, entitled, “The Sugar Distributing Combine.” He has maide a great collection of original documents, correspondence, etc., upon the subject and gives thp '’most accurate details of the heretofore secret history of this gigantic trust and &

its powerful allies in every elate At the end of his 24-page pamphlet Mr. Warner thus sum marizes the startling details of this wonderful trust: “With the Spi-eckels in control of Hawaii, and the Havemeyers extend* ing their plantations in Cuba, the trust dictates to every branch of sugar pro* dnction and distribution in the United States, taking under its,wing every one concerned—except those who consume sugar. From its office, at 117 Wall street, cable messages fly daily to iut agents in Cuba, fixing the price of raw sngars there; to San Francisco an* nouncing ‘Cuban parity,* at which arriving Hawaiian sugars are to be valued; to Louisiana telling her planters what—in view of Caban and Hawaiian, prioes—the trust condescends to offer for American sugar; and to its representatives all over the world, giving the limit—baaed on Cuban parity—at which they can pick up Austrian, ! Javan, ’ Philippine, Braidliaii and ! other sugars, when these are tempo- > rarily depressed in price. In an adv joining room thequotationsat or above ; which the subservient dealers through* ! out the country are permitted to sell sugars, are daily settled, and through the four great sugar brokers who stand nearest the throne these are « passed to the forty others who await the sugar trust’s nod at New York and telegraphed to the waiting hundreds in other cities of the land. These in turn so promptly notify their patrons, the thousands of wholesale grocers of the country, that before their doors are opened all dan* I ger of any purchaser getting his sugar below trust prices is over for the day. | By discount from this bill or periodical I remittance, as the ease may be, each ■ faithful wholesaler is promptly and I liberally paid for his loyalty; and \ whenever, in the crisis of legislation, | be hears the bugle call of the trust, he \ I nstantly steps into line, ready to bom- | bard his congressman with telegrams or fight him with ballots at short range until the sugar trust cause is | triumphant.” Such is the grandest trade organisa- | tion the world has ever seen. The sugar trust dictates the tribute that shall be rendered it by the American people. The wholesale grocers are rewarded by whatever of largess the trust thinks necessary to insure their loyalty. And the public? — “the public be d—d”—and it is. , B. W. H.

VERY LUQID. A Protectionist Organ Has an Explanation That Does Not Explain. Among the score or more of wage advances, in large mills, reported since the new tariff bill took effect is one by the Whiting Manufacturing Co., oi New York. The New York Press of November 18, in reporting this advance makes an interesting comment and admission. It says: “The restoration of wages to the former standard is believed to be the direct result of the recent overwhelming republican victories. In this particular case some four hundred men are benefited thereby. The assurance of a republican congress le^ds the firm to believe there will be no further reduction in tariff duties, and they therefore look for a speedy revival in business.” The headingover the article removes all doubt and says the restoration is “directly due to the recent republican victories.” It is probable that a majority of tj»e gullible readers of this high protectionist paper will believe the explanations of the Press. But there must be a considerable minority who ask themselves: “Why should this company advance wages on the strength of higher duties three or four years hence?” O, I see; wages are not advanced in anticipation p:f higher duties but on the belief that “there will be no further reduction in tariff duties.” “But,” says this intelligent minority, “isn’t that a queer explanation to find in my protectionist paper? With a 45 per cent, duty on silverware wages were reduced; now with a 35 per cent, duty wages are advanced. My protection logic may be out of repair but it seems to me that it would be proper and honest to credit snch wagt^advances to tariff reductions and to say that it is probable that a still greater reduction would have caused a still greater advance. The people are not all fools even though the republicans did have a big majority at the last election. They cannot be caught with such thin sophistry* and cheap buncombe as this is. Tariff Kkformeb.

Tit* Duty of Confess. As a rale but little is expected from, congress in its short session, and especially when its majority party has been defeated at the previous election. But the democratic leaders at Washington should remember that their party was not beaten because its policy bad been carried out, but because its promises to the people had not been fulfilled. If those^ leaders are jwise, therefore, they will do their utmost to show the country .that they understand and will heed the lesson of the late election.—N. Y. World. Worse than Highway. Robbery. President Havemeyer has changed his mind about closing all the refineries and now says that one-half the men employed by the trust' will be permitted to return to work. The most serious thing about it all is that it should bedb the power of a single man to stop the operation of a whole great industry on which every family in the United States depends for its supply of a practical necessity of life. —Buffalo Express, Rep. ? At Its Old Tricks. The action of the sugar trust in shutting down its refineries and depriving thousands of men of employment at the opening of winter is the ordinary trust plan of stopping production as a meaas of extorting higher prices. w Got Macht Mr. H. Q. Haveaaeyer receives a salary of $75,000 a year as president of the sugar trust and 825,000 a year as trnsp tee. Do his salaries stop with the shut* down, like the wages of his laborers?— N. Y.
