WHY the treaty was made. We said
in last Saturdays issue that the Reciprocity
Treaty was conceded by the American Con-
gress in order to maintain American in
fiuence in his kingdom and by n mail
which arrived subsequent TO our publica-
ton, the San Francisco Merchant came to
hand, in which reasons are given "why
the Hawaiian Treaty was made" "To
give the Islands such benefits by our gene
rosity that they would become more and
more under American, and less under
European influences" And it furthermore
says -" No corrupt pool could have de-
feated the intentions of the United States
i'll this initiation Of a new policy, for every
object contemplated by the Cabinet Gin
making the treaty, by the Senate in con
firming it, and by the House in passing the
necessary revenue law to carry ont its pro-
visions, has been accomplished"

How long have you been here? > asked.
''We came here on the I'd of July" they
said. The very day papa was shot!n
'And do you like living here as well as in
Washington"
We like it better here" said they; G be-
cause there are more boys, and because we
can play out of doors more"

visit great many persons thought the Prest
ident would get well.
"Now, then" said, ego on with your fun,
and let me see how you fight the battle"
You should have seen the stormy time
that came when / said this. First, one side
would throw at the other until all the SOL
dlers were knocked over, and then the other
side would begin. This made the enemy
beat for a while, and then the Americans.
The sport lasted for long time, and when
went away it was not because / wanted to,
but because l had to, in order to take the
train on the railway. As l sat in the car,

CHARGED,

Changed! Yes, confess it, ] have changed;
do not love you in the old fond way;
J am your friend still; time has not estranged
One kindly feeling of that vanished day.
But the sweet glamour that made life dream,
The rapture of that time, its glad content,
Like visions Of vanished home they seem
And yet l cannot tsH you when they went
Why do you gaze with such accusing eyes
Upon me, dear? Is it so very strange
That hearts, like all things underneath God'
skies.
Should sometimes feel the influence of change
The birds, the flowers. the foliage of trees,
The stars which seemed so fixed and so sublime
Vast continents and the eternal seas
All these do change with every changing time.
The face our mirror shows us year on year
Is not the same. Our dearest aim or need,
Our ligh:est thought or feeling, hope or fear,
Ali all, this law of alteration heed.
How can we ask the human heart to stay
Content with ftncies "f youths earliest hour?
The year outyrows the v;oe;s Of May,
Altho may be- il finds no fairer flowers.
And life may hold no swceter love than this,
Which lies 50 cold, SO Voiceless. and so dumb,
And viii miss it, dear?" Why, yes, we miss
The vioets always till the roses come.

THOUGHT He HAD GLASS LEGS.

A French paper mentions as an extraordi-
nary instance of hallucination that one of
the members Of the executive council of the
Bank of Brussels was many years ago seized
with the conviction that his legs were of
glass, and positively refused to move. A f.
nancial crisis came, involving to some extent
the bank. Mr.. B. got up and went to Brus-
sells, where by his energy and skill he largely
assisted in getting the matters straight. At
the end of a month he returned home, re-
marked how marvellous it was that he had
not smashed even one of his legs, and taking
to his bed once more, never again left it.

PLAY-DAY AT MENTOR,

One very hot day, last July, I left the
Lake Shore Railway train at Willoughby, a
little station eighteen miles east of Cleveland,
III the State of Ohio. Some business took
me to Mentor, three miles away. and. while
/ the boy was driving me over there, thought
| should like to make q call for pleasure
also You know that President GARFIELD
lived in Mentor, and you viii guess that l
wished to call upon his two youngest boys,
who were then at the Garfield homestead.
The house does not seem like a farmhouse
at all. It is more like a dwelling in village.
or in city, set in little piece OF lawn, and
sheltered by three great locust-trees. I
knocked at the door, and was asked to enter
the parlor. After little talk, Iasked about
the boys and was told that they were in
"the Office" q little one-story building, back
of the house, used by their father for a study
or working place.
Then l was led out through long hall.
where tall clock looked down on me. and
just outside the rear door was the office. A
narrow path led out to it, and l followed
along and stepped upon the floor of the little
porch that covered the only door there was,
which was the front door The study was a
very small building, with window on each
side of the door, n window at each end, and
window just opposite the door, A mite of
a chimney came out of the middle of the
roof
The door was open as stood on the porch,
and L could see four boys playing on the
floor. said to them: "Well boys, is this
fort ?"
Now the reason I thought it was fort
was, that | saw some pieces of white chalk,
which the boys had mounted on blocks and
set on the floor, so as to look like cannon.
This was all that could see from the door
when l asked the question.
But when / was inside the room [ saw a
lot of paper soldiers standing up, and found
out my mistake before this answer came to
my question:
"Not much fort. We are deploying
troops in the field" said one of the two Gar
field boys-whether Irwin or Abram forget
Just now. The other two boys were cousins
of theirs, and they were rather younger.
then looked more closely. Besides using
crayons for cannon, they also had brass
casters for cannon-wheels, and their soldiers
had been cut out of cardboard with Jack
knives. Small stones, nails, and peas were
the bullets and cannon-balls Small paper
flags showed which side was the enemy, and
,vhich the American
"And who is the enemy in this game?" I
asked.
"My brother" the elder Garfield replied
"He doesn't want to be, but he has to be-
because he is beaten so much"
"But l beat you the other day." chimed in
the younger Garfield.
"Yes, and the way you did it was to bring
out q lot of soldiers that had been sent to
the hospital the day before. That was no
fair"
By this time the boys were again sprawled
upon the floor, and ready to begin the battle
over again.
While they were picking up the stones to
throw I looked about the room. Several
large bookcases were filled with the Presi
dents books, and desk at the back window
opposite the door, had upon it an inkstand
and pen that had seen better days. The floor
was bare and painted

REVENUE REDUCTION.
What the Outlook is For the Coming
Session.

Special to the Plain Dealer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-As the time
for the reassembllng of Congress ap-
proaches the various interests desiring
legislation are organizing for an advance
upon Congress. One of the most ener-
getic lobbies is that in behalf of tho to-
bacco trade. The old hue and cry is al
ready raised and the pressure promises
to be greater than ever to abolish the
tax on tobacco in all its forms. The ab-
olitionists are greatly encouraged by the
position taken Ivy The Treasury Depart
ment and Judge Kelley. A great many
Republicans are still opposed to repeal
ing the tax on distilled spirits and fer
mented liquors. But there is better
prospect than ever for the abolition of
taxes on tobacco. The internal revenue
bill will probably be called up in the
Senate, where it is now pending, very
early in the session, when the exciting
discussion of last year will be renewed.
The amendment of Senator. Beck, re-
ducing the tax to twelve cents pound,
will probably again be voted upon in the
Senate when the bill comes before. it as
whole, and an effort will be made to
wipe off the tax altogether, with per-
haps more fa-orable result.
Congressman Speer. of Georgia. says
the Ways and Means Committee is bad
ly divided upon the revenue question.
He should stand with Judge Kelley in
defense of protection and the complete
abolition OF the internal revenue system.
Dunnell would go with Kasson in favor
of retaining the tax on whisky and to-
bacco and abolishing the other internal
revenue duties. The strength of the tenn
perance sentiment in the Northwest
would make it embarrassing for Dunnell
and Kasson to vote for untaxed whiskey.
Morrison, Carlisle and Tucker would dis
regard the wishes of their constituents
for untaxed whiskey and tobacco and
would vote as ''doctrlnaire" free traders.
1t is the opinion of best informed persons
however, that owing to the shortness of
the session and the pressure OF other bus
iness no tax reduction bill will be passed

A I,aborious Escape.

Nine months of hard and ingenious
labor by Johnnie Sansome, convict in
the prison at Folsom, CAL, enabled him
to escape. By thrusting wire down
between the granite blocks in the floor
in his cell, he discovered cavity un-
derneath, which was an abandoned
sewer. With n chisel which he snug
gled in from the workshop, and heavy
piece of wood, he broke one of the
stones. This required month, because
he could only strike blow when door
was closed, or some other noise was
made to hide it, and he frequently sat
up all night without being able to strike
more than once or twice. In the day.
time he was in the shop. After remov-
ing the half square of granite, he dug
slowly down through three feet of stone
and cement, first boring hole, and af-
terward letting the chips fall through 1t.
At the end of three months he got into
the sewer and found it plugged with
stone and cement ten feet thick at its
former outlet. The remaining six
months were spent in digging through
this obstruction. He worked at night,
and naked, leaving his clothes so ar
ranged in bed that the guard supposed
he was in them. Foul gas in the sewer
nearly suffocated him, loss of sleep made
him i'll, and his weight fell off twenty
five pounds. But he got out at last
Within three hours an officer recognized
him, and he was again q prisoner.

How Weapons First Game to be Used.


The idea of employing weapons for
assault or defence was logical result
of the first contest that took place be-
tween man and man. In these con-
tests the strongest man, with his native
weapons-his tists-was unconsciousiy
the father of all arms and all armed
strength. for his weaker antagonist
would early seek to restore the balance
of power between them by the use OF
some sort of weapon. The shorter
armed man heightened his striking
power by the use of a stick, and found,
after time, the help its leverage and
weight afforded him. The first case in
which the chance-selected, heavy-ended
staff or club showed that weight or
hardness had its value, was a first step
toward furnishing it with strong head.
Hence, the blow Of the fist was the fore
runner of The crushing weapon. In the
same way the pointed stick became the
lance or dagger; and the thrown shaft,
helped, as knowledge increased, by the
bow or "throwing STICK was the pre-
cursor of the dart and arrow. The char
acter of the first weapons was largely de-
termined by the nature Of the material
from which they were derived, and their
shape partly from this and partly by
copying the forms of the weapons pos
sessed by the animals the primeval men
slew. Hence arises the general SINH
larity in character and shape of the ear
liest tools from all parts Of the world.

How He Sat up With his Girl all Night

There was little quiet trouble on the
fourth at Oshkosh, which has just leaked
out. A number of special policemen
were appointed for the fourth, and
among them was young man who has
a girl. He performed his duty well
during the day. and at evening he
had to 60 add call on his girl. to show
her his star, and to explain to her how
the handouts he carried were used.
While conversing with her he playfully
handcuffed her, calling her his little
prisoner Finally it was time for him to
60 on duty, and he took the key to un-
lock the handouts, and broke it in the
lock. He tried every means known, and
finally decided there was only one way
10 get them off, and that was to file them
off. He got file and worked four hours
on one handcuff. and got it off and then
commenced on the other, and 1T was
near daylight on the morning OF the 9th
before she was free, pen-hearted girl.
It is probable that no Oshkosh girl was
ever set up with more diligently than the
amateur policeman's gid was that night.
One thing that was very annoying about
it was that after the handouts were filed
off it was found she could have slipped
her hands through them at any time. her
hands were so small, but they were SO
excited they never thought OF that way
of getting out of the scrape. He gave up
his star to the chief right after breakfast,
and said he never wanted to look upon
one again. The chief asked him where
he was, all night, and he said he was
watching suspicious looking party.

The Presidents Habits.

The President devotes one hour, and
only one, on each of the three days each
week to audiences granted plain citizens,
and then a Congressman or other Gov
ernment dignitary sending in his card, is
given precedence, snd the whole hour
may be monopolized by stilted officials.
Then the plain citizen must wait a day
or two and try, ass...., sc.. and tEsu or three
weeks may be wasted in the effort to se-
cure an interview of two or three min
utes duration. The President claims
Monday as his own day, when none can
see him unless he ask for them, or I'M
less they be close personal friends or
great office-holders. Two days of each
week are devoted to Cabinet meetings,
when he is invisible, and then the people
of the United States-fifty millions of
them when the imprinted and forgotten
census was taken, some three years ago
are assigned to one fixed hour on each of
three days. The President has spent the
summer and fall junketiDg about at Gov
ernment expense, in Government ship.
He has roved over New York, New Eng
land and Canada, and it seems that he
might now leave that delightful retreat,
the Soldiers Home. take his proper place
in the White House, dismiss his rollick
ing companions, and devote himself to
the service of the people, who invested
him with Office that he might right their
wrongs, hear their petitions, and see that
the humblest as we'll as the proudest cit.
izen has perfect justics meted out by the
Presidents subordinatcs. Mr.. Arthur's
head is surely not so light that it becomes
| L h,,t
shoulders. He has not forgotten the old
oft.quoted apothegm of Epamanondas
uttered when sweeping the. streets o
Thebes: "a man may do honor to any
office, but no office can do honor to any
man." Surely the President does no
now despise the common herd" Ther
let him see or hear them daily.
This studied precedence given the ricf
and powerful and the placeman of th'
day cannot be tolerated among peopl
thoroughly imbued with the principle
and philosophy of government inculca
ted by Thomas jefferson. A department
clerk, whose head is no bigger than one
fist and whose wisdom and aspiration
are bounded by the four white walls il
which he learned to excel in trifiing Ger
ical tasks that breed idiocy, may becom
arrogant and exclusive, and he may swell
tremendously when set over q dozen o
two of his wretched fellows. But q Pres
ident of the United States cannot eve
comprehend it is supposed, miserabl
little vulgar vanities, illustrated in tn
conduct of the uplifted clerk.
i We write this not to injure Mr.. Arthur
much respected gentleman in socis
life. We are impelled by no partisan
feeling to assail him and destroy his hol
upon popular respect and confidence. w
propose only to give him an opportuuit
to remedy mistakes Of conduct, abou
which much complaint is constantl
made.--American Register.

Gnrernor neudrIck,s Condltion.

INDIANAPOLIS, November 27.-The con-
dition of Governor Hendricks continues
to improve, but very slowly and it is yet
regarded with anxiety. The story going
the rounds of the press about his illness
is simply stupid nonsense. The SeEttneI
this morning editorially saws: Those
who are permitted to enter the chamber
where this great man with pstient Sc
renity awaits the recuperative processes
of ature and skill, have their confidence
in his ultimate recovery. strengthened, as
everything betokens health except the
foot where the troublesome disease is sit
uated, and this infirmity is yielding to
such remedial agents as the best medical
skill can supply. Among the most inti-
mate friends OF the Governor however,
the probability of his ultimate death is
freely admitted"
