repugnant system of slavery now exist ing. The British government some time ago had several war vessels in the South Seas hunting for man-stealers. They abolished slavery in their own domin- ions, and drove the notorious slave ship Bully Hayes" from the South Pacific waters. It's strange that they should never have overhauled the slsve-trsders. w1ich are owned, chartered and sailed under the Hawaiian flag. which nation not only permits it's citizens to deal in slavery, but which carries on the trade so actively that every official and agent Of the Government is empowered to make contracts which put men tn a system of peonage.

The East River Bridge.

The people of New York and Brook lyn are beginning 10 utter loud com pIaints about the magnificent East river bridge which, after tifieen years work and eNpeuditure, still remains UncOm- pleted The expenditure on itup to this time has been Sl3.224, ,O00, and this does not represent its entire cost, for II is stated that SIS. 1q9, GOO in bonds has been issued by the two cities for bridge work -S4. .S3S, GOO by New York and S9, ,462, GOO by Brooklyn. The issue of these bonds began in 1889, and as the interest on the whole amount is about S20C0 8 day, the bridge debt and payments cannot be far from 100000 The structure was es. timstei to cost S3,OOO,O0 at a height of 200 feet The elevation was reduced to lS5 feet, but, strange to say, this reduc- ton of the difficulty of the undertaking has made it cost five times the original estimate.
 Some day or other the noble structure will be completed, but when and al how much additional cost no one seems able to tell. But the question is now pre- sented, what shall be done with it when 1t is finished? IL will be 8 noble road way between the two cities, but, says the Flnaac.al Chronicle, merely to get across the river will never be worth the bridge" Nobody imagines that 1t will pay direct lv. The annual interest on this cost will be nearly Sl ,O0O 600, in addition to the cost of managing 1t and keeping it in repair. and it is admitted that fl it be limited to a mere foot and carriage way between the two cities the tolls will not amount to this sum. IL is proposed, therefore. that it be made part of a scheme for annexing to the metropolis an accessible suburb which it does not now possess. This, it is thought, can be effected by building underground rail roads from the Brooklyn side of the bridge to the country beyond the city, so as 10 open up Co the crowded metro. politans a region where they can have pleasant country homes, and at the same time aiiOrdthem the means of reaching il in few minutes Unless tho bridge shall in this way be made part of sys-

The Editor and Inc Shoemaker.
Carsor INevI Appesl


 One day an editor, hard at work try. ing to devise plan to make delinquent subscribers pay their dues, was called upon by shoemaker who dropped in to give the editor some valuable hints on running newspaper. The editor. oyeroyed al the opportunity, gave the man his best cane bot m chair, handed him fresh cigar and listened attentive ". Quoth the shoemaker, as he lit the weed: "Nour paper needs hundred i'm proved features. Ton don't grasp the topics of the day by the right handle: you don't set the locals in the right kind Of type; VOLT telegraph news is too thin, even the paper itself is poorly manufac- tured, not thIck enougl and of too chalky white: you don't run enough matter, and what you do run ain't of the right sort; your ideas about protective tariff are internally foolish, and your stand on the Conkling matter was bad. bad. tell you these things because l want 70 see you succeed. I tell vou as & friend. l don't take your paper myself, but 1 see it once in while, and as q paper is public affair l suppose 1 have as good @ right to criticise IS anybodt t If man wants 10 give me advice let him; I'm glad to have him, in fact" ]"
 That's exactly it" said the editor. kindly; T always had a dim idea of my shortcomings, but never had them so clearly and convincingly set forth as by you. It is impossible to express my gratitude for the trouble you have taken. not only to find out these facts, but to point them out also. Some people, knowing all these things perhaps nearly as well as you, gre mean enough to keep them to themselves. Your suggestions came in most appropriate time; 1 have wanted somebody to lean on, as it were, for some weeks. Keep your eye on the paper, and when you see weak spot come up
 The shoemaker Jeff, happy to know that his suggestions had been received with such Christion spirit. Next day, just as he was finishing boot, the edi- tor came iu, and, picking up the mate, remarked:
 'I want to tell you how that .boot strihc me. h the first place the leath- CT is poor; the stitches in the sole are too wide apart, and in the uppers too near the edge. Those uppers will go to pieces in two weeks. It's all wrong, my friend, putting poor leather in the heels and smoothingit it over with grease and lamp black Everybody complains Of your boots; they don't last; the legs are too short, the toes too narrow and the instep too high. How you can have the gall to charge twelve dollars for such boots beats mo. Now, tell you this as 8 friend, because 1 like to see you sue ceed. Of course I don't know any more about shoemaking than you do about a newspaper, but still take au interest in you because you are so well disposed to me. In fact
 Here the exasperated cobbler grabbed a lapstone, and the editor gained the street, followed by old knives, pinchers, hammers and awls, sent after him by the wrathful cobbler, who, on regaining his seat, swore by the nine gods that no impertjnent lopeared idiot should ever come round trying 10 teach him his trade.

Catching Rat under Difficulties.
Boston Globe

A cat, rat, 8 pretty and stylish young lady an and intrepid and valorous clerk form the dramstis persone oT this narrative. l. all happened last week in one of the most fashionable shoe stores in this city, located on Washington street. For some time past the store has been troubled by an inroad of rats, causing great detriment to the stock and annoyaIce to the proprietor. 4 eat WAS then procured which at ouce began to catch them, 10 the great joy Of all con- cerEed. One day last week she brought up a vigorous rodent from the cellar and began to toy with 1t, before killing, after the manner Of her kind. Suddenly Il was discovered that IL bad made its es, cape, and almost simultaneously the per sons in the store were startled by fem mine shriek emanating from 8 pretty young lady who had been Tn the act Ot irving on a pair of boots. The look of horror and disgust on CT face bore am~ ple testimony to the truth Of her assers tion: Oh heavens something has bitten me" One of the clerks, a young man justly noted for his courtesy and
 allantrv to the iair sex and whose iden- tity will be edectuany concealed under the name of Smith, sprang forward and grasped the lady's dress skirt al a point she indicated inst below the waist It was the missing rat who had there sought an asylum from his feline foe. Alr, Smith held him tightly and invited the lady to the rear of the store, where, with as much delicacy as the Circum- stances would permit, he removed his ratship from beneath the dress by the tail and dashed it on the floor. At thls point the lady tainted from fright and nervous strain. By the kind attention of those present she was soon restored and able 10 depart, which she did, but not without first learning the name of her preserver. For day or two after this Mir. Smith was subjected to a great variety of teasing remarks from his fel~ low clerks, some even asserting that he would now have rats caught and brought there, and other remarks equal " ill-natured and unjustlfable. On the shird day, a large package was Jeff al the store for Mr. Smith, who refused for a long time to open it, being apprehensive that the aforesaid iokers had sent him a halt.doZen rats Ot assorted sizes. His curiosity eventually triumphed over his fears, and amidst great though sup pressed excitement on the part of all present, the package was opened ana was found to contain an elegant and costly cigar stand, fashioned in ebony and gilt. Thus were the foolish testers silenoed and thus courtesy and daring rewarded.

snccess in Business.

A. F.. Burkhardt, one of the most sue cessful business men of Cincinnati, in an address delivered before the Commercial Club of that city, said:
 T have cast my minds eye hurTiedly back over my experience in Cincinnati, and 1 am fully convinced that in fifteen years, with the advertising l have done, have pushed my business to g standing that it would have taken thirty years to reach without advertising. In truth, it is doubtful if l could at all have attained the results have without the aid of the newspapers. Certainly the newspapers are the cheapest medium for making your trade known to the greatest num- Der of people, Printed circulars may possibly reach a thousand persons whose names you know, your old customers. Your announcement in leading iourn- al will-reach 8 hundred thousand whom you never heard of New dealers con- ing into the field will see your name and business, and know where to find you. Your standing advertisement is stand ing notification to buyers that you are alive and there. It is perpetual letter of introduction for your travelling sales man. He has only to mention your name for the country merchant to say, "Oh, yes, that's the Diamond Ham man, isn't it?' or that's. Rock and Rye, sin't he?'" He will be twice as apt to buy as if your firm name was one he had never heard of, or, having heard of, thought you dead.
 This applies to an even greater extent in the country than il does in the large cities, and it is safe to say that merchants are plodding along making bare living, who might witt the judicious aid of ad- vertising build up an immense tradeand accumulate a fortune '- WarsdW Rep,ib- bcGp.
