ficant and one showing the utter rccklcssness
and uufitncss Of that party In dealing with so
important subject was plan to reduce nll
duties on imports 10 per cent on the first day
Of January, 1888, and 10 per cent more on
the first day Of January following. l never
have said or thought, although 1t has been
charged, that the mere reduction OF duty 10
or even 20 per cent would be followed
by widespread calamity. What ! say
is this To reduce the tariff on
al articles alike, including such ar
icles rs diamonds, brandies, costly foreign
Wines Is an act of egregious folly. To make
such blind, general reduction Is to preserve
whatever there may be of inequality and in-
justice in the existing tariff. But TO enact
that such reduction shall take effect at two
remote periods, one of six and one of eigh-
teen months, Is 10 cause oil the manufacture
ing industry Of the country to be conducted
on falling market. 1t is to compel every
manufacturer to buy his projected material
at high rate when the product is 10 be sold
at n lower rate; and to go through this pro-
cess twice. 1t is for period of eighteen
months TO reduce TO minimum the purchase
of all manufactures. This l hold would
cause widespread calamity to every manu-.
featuring community in the country.

sets factory or TO destroy or permanently

when he was IL years old his parents remov-

Hobart college with the highest honors of his
class when but eighteen years of age, studied
law and settled at Geneva in 1910. In 1851
he was county Judge of Ontario county, and
held the office four years. In politics he
was at one time known as Silas Wright
Democrat afterwards identifying himself
with the Barnburncrs, subsequently joining

There is nothing like leather" A shoe
makers poem on shoes must needs be
unique. 1t Is safe to affirm that Mr.. John p.
Headley's epic entitled "How to Make
Shoe" stands without parallel in English lit
crsture. 1t is not only poem, but an illus
trated poem. BY grace of st. Crispin, Mr..
llcadley has been able to yoke to his poetical
car both the Muse of the Pencil and the
Muse OF Rhyme. He has stuck to his last,
and yet enrolled himself amony the sons of
Apollo. The bea. of the hammer on the
lapstone and the suish of the ''waxed end"
as it was drawn through the upper" have
both passed into his verse. ''All that he
lives by is, with the awl y yet, with his
singing robes about him, he proposes to
'mend u.s." His aim is high, his purpose
laudable his achievement, volume which
the bureau OF education at Washington has
seen fit to distribute with note calling
attention to its merits. The Commissioner
trusts 1t will be examined with interest, as it
shows 1.-THE effort that is made to solve the
question of industrial education" 1t is GER

and every knack Of his craft from the meas
uring OF the customers foot to the burnish-
Ing of the heel Of the finished shoe. The
whole process and mystery of bodybuilding
are revealed in a sort of Yankee Doodle epic
poem. The first four lines of the proem run

Browns trial and discharge before Justice

AS such 1t has been pronounced "unmiti-

prosecuting attorney Evans, who having
been written to for instructions by friends
of the deceased, replied a week ago to
sheriff Kelly that no attention should be

complaint if made by J'Afret's friends
would hold the accused for trial before

Accordingly on Saturday last, Mrs.
J'Affret and Ed. Greigner, of Waldron
