''PAUPER LABOR"


If there is any one evil on the face of
this broad earth, mental, physical or tenn
poral. which the protectionist will not as
sure you high tariff viii cure, it is yet to
be known. In America we have a protec.
tive tariff to protect the skilled labor" Of
America against the ''pauper labor" of Eu-
rope, while in Germany they have the same
sort OF legislative monstrosity to protect
the 'pauper labor" of Europe against the
skilled labor of America. In either case it
is glazing farce. In Germany, protection
as means of raising revenue, has been
singularly unfortunate; the addition OF 116
articles to the list has produced a revenue
under $780, 600, considerably less than the
cost of collecting it, while the duty on zinc
in bars yielded exactly $3.50 and on lead
$3.50. Take it all in all, Germany is fol
lowing brilliant example.

A BUSY LIFE.

The state of the English Lord Chancel
lor's health is giving rise to considerable
anxiety. He has now had relapse which
will probably necessitate his never again
resuming his judicial duties. He over
worked himself while at the bar From
the time as Rounded Palmers he was called
by Lincoln's Inn, in 1887, he labored more
hours per day than any of his brother pro-
fessionals, and after he became a @. c.
the extent of his practice allowed him no
rest. The daily habit of his life was to
rest only two or three hours out of the
twenty-four, and eat but little. The enor-
nous amount of work he got through was
the establishment of all who knew him
Notwithstanding the extreme pressure of
his business he never looked at any of his
papers on Sunday; but even then he was
not idle, for when he was not in his place
of worship he was engaged in Sunday
school teaching.

JOHN KELLY.

Kelly is now poseing as an snti-monopo
list and the spectacle is superlatively ri
diculous. Kelly is politician nothing
more or nothing less, and his advocacy of
any set of principles is simply determined
by the capital he can make out of it. ii
John could see his way clear to any per-
sonal advantage by the support of the
Prince of Wales as hereditary sovereign
of this country he would howl himself
hoarse in his cries for the god given right
of Kings John Kelly is political shys-
ter of the most INSCRIPTIONS character,
and would no more hesitate to sell out the
party whose principles he pretends to up
hold thanJudas did to betray bis master
for twenty pieces of silver; the only troub-
lie being that so far Kelly has failed to go
and hang himself and thus relieve the
party of a most unfriendly member.
John Kelly has about as much of truth in
his claim of belonging to the democratic
party as in time of war a spy has of aid
ing the side whose operations he is watch

more than one of Corwin's famous speech
es. Back in the valley of Turtle creek,
is the sleepy old town of Lebanon. The
Corwin family consisting of one married
and one single daughter, the latter lame
and below the average in intellect, and
with complexion as dark as her fathers
still reside in the old mansion near the
cemetery. Corwin died in 1865 in Wash
ington,, and nearly every man. moman and
child in Warren county focked to his
funeral when his remains were taken
home. They buried him with great pomp,
and then began to talk about monu-
ment. The family thought the county
ought to erect it, and the commissioners
said it was plainly the duty of the family.
Nothing was done by either until Inger-
soils message fell among them like hot
shot. and turned the town upside down.
Corwin's son-in-law, Cincinnati, lawyer,
named Sage, then ordered Quincy shaft
thirteen feet high, and it has just been

THEATRE FIRES.

Since 1910, 523 theatres have been burnt
down in the old and new world, AGO dis
asters of this kind having taken place
within the last hundred years Cup to 1879
while from 1915 the average rate was
13 theatres per annum. In the list of
localities, London with 81, is at the head;
Paris with 30, follows next: the youthful
city of New York has %, and the yet
younger San Francisco 81. Barnum's
Theatre, in the Empire City, has been
burnt down no less than five times; while
Astley's, in London, and the Grand Opera,
in Paris, have each been destroyed four
times. Her Majesty's Drury Lane, and
Coyent Garden have been thrice laid waste
by fire; while numerous London theatres
can boast of double eonfagrations, the.
Oldest in the list being the Globe on Bank
side, which was burned down A. D. 1913.
Though the Vienna disaster, with some
eight OF nine hundred lives to its score,
ranks first for fatality, there have been
several very nearly as bad. When Leh-
mann's Theatre, in st. Petersburg, was
destroyed 1880, between six and seven
hundred lives were sacrificed, though the
official accounts returned but half that

the 72d year of his age, having been born
at Liverpool on the goth of December, 1909
Having been elected to Parliament fol

he has entered upon the fiftieth year of his
public life. OF the members of the Cab

Reformed Parliament, to whom the speech
OF King William was addressed on the 9th

CHICKEN STEALING By NEGROES.

Robbing hen roosts by negroes has gen.
orally been treated by writers humorously,
and collection of anecdotes on the sub
ject would make bulky volume; but the
Vicksburg Herald, mentioning the case of
a thief who confessed to stealing 81 fowls
within month, makes this serious com
ment: 1.-The above is specimen of the
state affairs, in respect to chickens and
other fowls, that exist in every town and
city in the state The money that is sent
to the West every winter from this section
to pay for eggs and fowls. is no inconsider-
able amount, and it is a crying shame that
enough of them cannot be raised in this
favored climate to supply the needs of the
limited population. But the chicken
thieves render it impossible.

AN AFFIDAVIT.

Coroner Morris'i is out with an affidavit,
at least Simon Hirsch made it but Morris
uses it; to the effect that he, the Coroner,
never said so, at least he never intended to
say so; and if he did say so he did not
think so, and at any rate he can whip the
man that said he did.
AS matter of plain fact Mr.. Morris, or
any other man is very foolish to pay any
attention to a story of any kind that comes
from the scource this one did. Every one
would put it down as a lie, and perfect
Indifference is the best course

Tuesday. January II, 1882,
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.

The feeling aroused by the appointments
for committees made by Stalwart Keifer.
is liable not only to be lasting but to re-
suit in something like arevolution in future
proceedings of like character. Keifer, a
mostunwise selection, was chosen Speaker of
the House as the stalwart candidate He was
never intended by God or man for the pos
ition, but political methods and careful
use of the spoils put him there. His elect
ion was mistake, but his actions ever
since have been greater ones. He owes
his position entirely to the spoils system
and in consequence has been forced to pay
the debt ever since. His principal means
of payment was of course the committee
appointments and as far as they went. he
has been using them to honor the drafts
by the men who elected him. But at the
outset he has been hedged in with difficult
les; in the first place, there were not enough
offices to 60 around, and secondly he was
obliged to slight the men who, from their
ability and prominence deserved the APP
pointments. This has aroused double
howl, from the men who deserved them
and did not get them, and from the men
to whom they were promised and who
were likewise unfortunate. The feeling
thus engendered is likely to take the form
of a radical change in the method of APP
pointing the committees. Orth will intro
duce resolution providing that the House
shall appoint its own standing committees,
as the Senate does, in which case the re-
publican members would make their own
assignments, and the democrats theirs. 1t
appears that up to 1910 the House of Rep
resentatives always retained the power in
itself to appoint the standing committees
of the House, but the rule was to adopt
a resolution requiring the Speaker to make
such appointments. There is some talk of
removing the Speaker on account of his
gross Partially and fsvoritism.

ST. JOHNS, y. F., August S.-The steamer
Curlew arrived from the west coast last evening,
and reports the fishery prospects very discourag-
Ing on the so called French shore. Fresh compli-
cations have arisen between the New Foundland,
and the French fishermen, the latter insisting
upon the exclusive right TO fish there, while the
former persist In claiming a concurrent right, ac-
cording 10 the treaty. The French are very arbi-
trary In their conduct, and serious disturbance
Is feared. Evidentally the matter Will have TO be
submitted TO the French and British governments
again. AdyiceS from Labrador report an entire
failure OF the fishery on the northern part OF the
coast.
