GERMANY RAISES OBJECTION.

Sagar Schedule of the Tariff Law Not to Her Liking. An international question involving the United States and Germany has been raised by that feature of the new tariff law which inspired the most domestic trouble—the sugar schedule, The German government, through its ambassador, Baron von Sanrmai*Jeltsch, has made a strong protest to the Secretary of Stato against that clause of the act which Imposes an additional duty of ontenth of a cent per pound on sugars imported from those governments which pay an export bounty on the article to the producers. It is held by the German government that this feature of the new tariff act is more oppressive in Its action against the sugar producers of that country than any other and violates the spirit of the treaty arrangements between the two governments, particularly in view of the concession bv which the embargo against American pork, for a time enforced by Gerthtftiy, was raised. Germany thinks that her commercial Interests in this matter snonld be npnn the same piano as the most favored nation—to use the common treaty term of Europe.

CLOSED DOWN.

A dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa.. Sept. 29, says: All the tin-plate plants in the country closed down to-night, and there is no indication as to when they will again be put in operation. There Is a wide difference between tne manufacturers and the workers on the subject of wages, and the latter insist that notwithstanding the reduction of the duty the wages agreed upon in June can be paid the balance of the scale year. Two important reasons are given for the action taken by the Manufacturers’ Association. Ono is that the closing of the factories Is being done to discourage prospective builders of tin-plate plants. There are at least ten in course of erection in the United States, while manufacturers of tin-plate machinery are enlarging their works. It was decided to put up some of these factories after it was known that the cut in the duty would be one cent per pound. turers is that under Secretary Carlisle’s ruling 46,009.000 pounds of tin-plate, now in bond, can bo put on the market, Monday,by paying the new tariff of 1.2 cents a pound. This will fill all the demands for some time to come. On the other hand, the workmen assert that the shutdown is merely a scheme of the manufacturers to compel their employersi to work for less wages. j

"THIS A. P. A. MONSTER."

In his October pastoral. Bishop Matz, »f Denver, says the church in Colorado is passing through an appalling crisis. “It Is.” he says, “sectarian bigotry which, led >n by a set of fanatics, blds fair to outdo die followers of Cromwell and the maniacs Bf the French commune. It is a fact which has called forth the amazement of the most remarkable men of our time that in age like ours and a country over which Boats the American flag should have fostered this A. P.

He Nailed the Central Thought.

Lewiston Evening Journal. Into a Maine village where he had preached when he was a licentiate I with more hopes than fame, there came a few Sundays ago an elderly ' and prosperous doctor of divinity. After the morning service an old, white haired man approached the doctor, and, holding out his hand, ; said: ‘•Glad to see ye. T want to thank ye for what ye said this morning, and to tfe'.l ye that ye preached a sermon here years ago I’ve never forgotten.” Pleased by such remembrance,the doctor graspod the proffered hand ' heartily, and said: “By the way, what was that sermon? I don’t seem to remember.” “Well,” answered the old man, “I don’t remember the text, nor I don’t remember what you called the subject, but the central thought was that theology ain’t religion; no not by a d-d sight!”

Harper’s Magazine.

What is so cheap as a good Magazine? Apparently the answer to this question is, “Nothing.” Harper’s, for example, durin r the past year has printed two novels, “Trilby” and “The Golden House,” which, in book form, will sell for the subscription price of the Magazine, or a little less. Add to these sixty short stories (enough for five books) by the,, best American and English writers, as many illustrated articles descriptive of travel, or of sceintific interest, the comments on current events in the “Editor’s Drawer,” cn l the humorists anecdotes of the “Editer’s Drawer,” and reader has every year twrj volnmes of nearly a thousand pages each, filled with the best literature and the best illustrative art, in a variety that a large library could hardly surpass.
