A Modern Tell.

Many who read romanceS about the
days of the Crusades, and whose hearts
beat over the romance of history-the
narratives like William Tell, who waged
holy war against the invaders of their
country-are unaware that as great G
hero lives in our day and is conducting as
holy and undying struggle. How few
care to read of Alb del kader! yet who
will venture to say that William Tell was
npbler! The Emir Alb del Kader is the
indomitable foe of the French, who have
conquered Algeirs, or attempted to colon
ize the neighborhood. He is native, land
hates the intruders. He is prince, and
hates the conquerors of his country. He
cannot drive them out but he has done
everything short of il. He leaves them
no peace or rest. They in fact own no
land but what they stand on. Every head
that is put out beyond the Gordon is cut off.
Every straggler from the camp disappears.
The settlers cannot till the fields nor go
OH commercial errands, for Alb del Kadef
comes down upon them whichever way
they go. A company cannot pass from
camp to camp without its numbers being
thinned. If there is burning sun, Alb
del Kader pounces upon their troops in
the hour Of lassitude. If wintry weather
comes up from the mountains, Alb del Ka
der comes up with it, as if he rode on the
blast. If snow blocks up the way, Alb
del Kader issues from the thiclzest DRIFT.
If there is drought, he drives the foe far
from the water brooks by darassing them,
flank and rear. He is always on the eve
of being caught; but no man has ever
canght him yet, nor touched his white
banner. His tribes are dispersed, his
stores taken, his supplies cut off, his hor.
ses shot under him. his allies bound over
10 deliver him up but he has always yet
escaped. He has worn out and brought
to disgrace French field marshais and
caused, destitute as he himself is, an .ex-
penditure of men and money such as no
nation can long endure for the sake of SO
paltry colony. He has now sent sum-
mons to the tribes Of the south to be ready
to renew the war against the invaders !;
and all but those who are in the immedi-
ate reach of the French answer with fer
vor to the call. One man can not bat
look forward wistfully to the lssue-to
divine the lot and death of such man
to watch whether his power of hope can
sustain itself against such odds; whether
he dies on the field, or in cave Of the
rocks-as warrior, or as prisoner. or
as one of natures princes in one of na-
lures palaces. The only thing we know
is that the man himself, his soul, will
never be conquered. Being we'll assured
of this it would be endurable shat his
country and native tribes should be bro't
under European sway, if there were fair
probability that it would be ultimately for
their real good. But it is for their inva-
ders to show that it would be so; and till
they do our sympathis must inevitably be
with the indomitaMe Alb del kader, before
whose majesty-the native majesty of the
soul-every Mahomedan bows his head,
and every invader quails.

Manufacturers Profits.

A very significant fact was ELECTED dur:
ing the trial Of Kennedy and Tillinghast
vs.. the Norwich Water Power Company;
reported in our last paper. The plain:
tiffs 1t seems claimed damages on account
Of the nonful6lment Of certain stipulasions
of their lease on the part of the Norwich
Water Power Company, and they were
obliged to show te amount Of damage
they had sustained in consequences there;
of. To do this they testified to their actual
daily net profits, which amounted to sirty-
fire dollars day, or about $50, 900 a year.
This Identical factory was alluded 10
by Mr.: Rockwell in his tariff speech in.
the last Congress as d section factory of
moderate size, which had on the whole
been bad investment" And he alluded
to it for the purpose of showing that it was
almost certain ruin for man TO invest his
capital in manufacturing. He said further,
that if the tariff of 1916 should be passed
s.the only course for them--The MessrS:
Kennedy and CO.. and others in the cOt:
ton manufacturing business-to pursue,
woiIld be- the reduction in the prices of
labor to such an extent, as to prevent a
loss and make small profit. let Nj:
Rockwell put the fact stated above
which was drawn out in public court
and his speeches together and see how
they compare. Whether he does or mot;
The people will do it. They will see ia
il what we have labored TO make them
understand before, that this cry about pro-
lection, SO profusely INDUCED in, by mo-
nopolists & their interested mouthpieces,
is all selfish and mercenary.-NOrwscE

"Thas," said Bias, "where the laws have

"That," said Thales, "where the inhab-

"That," said Anacharsis, the Scythian,
'where virtue is honored and vice detest-
