BROOKLYN. counsel for Mrs. Katherine
Chase Sprague. to-day sent from here a
letter TO the editor of the Vfadtcnto9', OF
Staunton, Va, referring 10 statement
published IN that paper in which Gov
Spfague was represented as having said
TO the clerk of the court, TO the common
wealth's attorney and to Rev. }. ID Hat
lihon. in order to procure license TO
marry and to induce the minister to per
form the ceremony, that he brought suit
against Mrs. Spraoue, asking for adivorce
on the ground of adultery, ana that she
answered charging him with the same
offense: that afterwards she Withdrew
CHARGES against him, bat his remained,
and that lie was granted divorce on the
ground named n-his petition aud that
the court divided the custody of the chill

For the sake of accuracy the minister
reduced the above statement to writing,
The counsel say they can hardly belieVe
il possible that such perVersion OF facts
could have been made, but as they have
been with no contradiction they ask the
Tihdicat0r 10 publish the facts as they
are in Justice to Mrs. Sprague. They
then feclte that Mrs. SprhSue DtouBht
suit for divorce in Rhode Island, charging
adultery, cruelty and failure to support.
He answered by a cross bin charging her
with adultery She prepared proof 70
support all her allegations but al the
trial Gov. Spragne and council proposed
that if Mrs. Sprague would waive proof
as to his adultery, he would withdraw his
petition and permit the case to pass on
the milder chargeuof non-support.
: The proposition was. accepted, and the
Gleeree was granted Mrs. Sprague on this
ground, and was given the custody of the
three younger children, the other child
being, under the laws of Rhode Island
not subject to the controlof the court.
In view of all these facts the connscl say
they have advised Mrs. Sprague to avail
herself of the permission of the court tc
resume her maiden name.

THE TARIFF.
The Philadelphia Idea of the Tariff
QuestiOn-Nut to Crack.

Amy democratic member of the next
| house who thinks it will be worth his
while to uphold the Philadelphia ideas OF
political economy by voting for Mr.. Ran
dali will do well to read the following
communication published in the Herald
and signed Harvard. The communities
ton is tinged with the mild protectionists
IFS and butts" taught by Prof Dunbar
at Harvard college, but the truth flames
through in these closing sentences:
1T is conceivable that a system of
exclusion of all foreign articles may re-
suit in use and equal protection to all in
dustries, but aside from this Chinese
method which is impracticable, the ess-
enee of protection is its Inequality. In
proof of this let one glance over the com
pedinm of the census and consider the
different conditions of the peuple of the
country. They are classified under
several heads. First, agriculture. Well.
protection has been extended to aoricult-
urs in a certain way, but 1t is impossible
to extend the system so as to affect all
farmers alike, for the reason that not 5
per cent OF the farmers of this country
could be suDiec ted to foreign competi-
ton under any conceivable conditions.
Second, trade and transportation. Sure
~ IHese people CANNOT ne IlfOIccbeQ; IHefe
is no possibility of foreign competition
with them. Third, professional and per
s0nal service. The same rule applies to
this classes no possibility of foreign com
petition. Fourth, manufactures and
mining. On the whole perhaps 10 per
cent, of the products of mines and fact
cries which are consumed in this country
might be imported from abroad, not over
that proportion. Pig iron, for instance
is consl dered very important article,
although it gives employment TO less
than 100000 men and boys in mining
coal and ore and in blast furnaces, who
earn on the average of 81 per day, while
Mr. r. r. Porter testifies that their com
petitors in England earn 20 per ceut|
more. We might possibly import one
fourth of the pig iron which we need for
use on the seaboard, not more. The
whole consumption of pig-iron IN this
country is worth less than 800, DOC, 0Otl
or less than / per cent. of the value of
all our products. less than % per cent. of
the value of all our manufactures. IF
any one will glance over the list of man.
ufacturer sin the census it will at once
become apparent that just and equal
protection, even to all manufactures. is
absurdly impracticable, and unless the
larger part of them are taxed in order to
sustain very small part, there can be
no beneht and no harm from the system
IL Is the gradual PERCEPTION of these great
facts which Is killing the protective
system. In other words. without anv
very precise or logical method of reason
ing, the common sense of the community

THE INDIANA COMING MAN.

81 Lons Republican,: The appoint
ment of Judge Gresham, of Indiana. to
the vacant postmastership has had an ex-
traordinary effect on the part of the re-
publican party. 1t has BETRAYED it into a
confession of well nigh hopeless pre-
dicament which this obscure and medic,
ere Hoosler alone can help it out of. A
week ago the republicans did not know
who, IN the wide domain of the limited
States would be an electable candidate
Tor president. They are in ignorance no
longer The problem is solved The
new postmaster is the man. He annears
like the new Mohammedan nronhet of
the Soudan, IN an out-of- they and
unsupported place, and, like the Soudan
prophet, he appears at o time when the
faithful are in most detected. forloru
ana helpless condition-two unerring
signs that he is the very man they have
been looking for. What wonder then
that they abandon themselves to trans
ports OF delight, greet linn with hosannas
and prepare to crown him king of the
party? He comes from a doubtful
state. Very good. He is popular in
that state and can carry it. Still
better. As postmaster general he will
WELD large patronage in behalf of the
party in Indiana, overshadowing such
wrangling, lesser lights as John G. New
Senator Ben Harrison and Gov Porter
and shoot up in the sky as the one
supreme and irresistible claimant to the
party nomination. This completes the

countries at the present moment, SAYS:
Dynamite Is solidifed nitro-glycerine,

simple, the component parts being com
mon glycerine. nitric acid and silica AS
the ingredients taken separately are use
fal in ordinary manufactures, and two of
them at least perfectly harmless, it is
difficult to see how it is possible to pre-
vent their sale. As they are articles of
common traffic, any person with very
slight knowledge of their chemical quail
ties and little skill in mixing them, can
manufacture the explosive in small anan-
titles in any ordinary private room. 1t
will thus be seen how difficult it will be

destructive in the hands of organized

it Is Ridiculous nonsense for . parcel OF
members Of congress tnsattempt to reg
uIste prices and wages by statute. either
directly OF indirectly. Most of the menu
bers of congress understand this fully. and
therefore all their work in the last session
with a few conspicuous exceptions, was
a mere game of grab. each seeking q
little plumber for his own district. The
most conclusive proof of this is the great
fact which the census has lately disclosed
to wit That the earnings OF the great
body of manufacturing operatives. outside
Of textile factories and iron works, Who
cannot be protected, but are hardened
and taxed by the tariff, are much higher
than the earnings of those in whose be
half the protective system is assumed to
be established"

Inherited Strength.

Prof. r. A. Proctor found ut Reno,
Nevada, a man who claims to be the
strongest man in the world His name
is Angela Cardella. He is an Italian
aged thirty-eight, and stands five feet
ten inches in height, weighing l3s pounds.
His strength was born with him, for he
has had no athletic training. He differs
from others chiefly in osseous structure
Although not of unusual size his spinal
column is double the ordinary width and
his bones and joints are mdde on SINH
lar large and generous scale He can lift
man 200 pounds with the middle finger
of his right hand. The man stood with
one foot on the floor. his arms out
stretched and his hands grasped by two
persons TO balance his body. Cardella
then stopped down and placed the third
finger of his right hand under the mans
foot, and. with scarcely any perceptible
effort, raised him to the height of four
feet and deposited him on table near of
hand. Once two powerful Irishmen
waylaid Cardella with intent to thrash
him, but he seized one in each hand and
hammered them together till the fife
was nearly hammered out of them. He
is OF quiet and peaceful disposition,
and his strength is inherited. for no
states that his father was more power
full than himself.
