PROTECTING .speeisI Interests,

In their unskillful effort to straddle the
tariff question the high priests OF the Dem
ocratic party do not forget to charge that
the Republican party is the champion Of
Especial interests" as againsts the general
welfare. Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts,
having occasion to speak about tariff and
parties, gives this free-handed sketch Of
Democratic tariff tinkering:
About every job"tha got into that bill was
wedged into It by free-trader. / will give
you some examples; There Is Russia Iron.
It needs no protection, for no one 10 this
here, and there Is but one establishment in
Philadelphia which produces q miserable
imitation OF this Russia iron. We did not
want to put any duty on 1t, but prominen
Democratic Senator, "a pronounced tree-trader,
was friend TO this American manufacturer,
and 80 his ears were buttoned up close. We
could do nothing with him. Again, in the mat.
ter OF crockery. There Is no clay 70 be found
in this country tltfor the best crockery manu-
facture. It IL not an industry which calls
for any protection. But there was Demo
cratic Senator VINO YVES interested In some
crockery col. :ern, aud so we could get the
duty cut down. Thsn In the matter Of rice.
understand there Is duty OF ITO per cent
on that purely agricultural commodity, and
vet every Southern free trade Senator is de.
terminedly opposed To any reduction. And
80 1t was with other particulars. should be
perfectly willing to leave the whole subject
Of the tariff revision to legislative tariff
commission, composed entirely OF flee ira
ders, am so confident that In the end they
would be forced TO take 3 position entirely
agreeable 10 the interests Of New England
manufacturers.
It Is not quite clear whether Senator
Hoar refers to clay digging or crockery
making as an industry not justitying pro
lection. 1t is to be inferred that he means
the clay. First, because we do make good
crockery in this country, without sufficient
protection 1t could not be made here, and
under protective tariff the industry has
grown to large proportions. Second
because clay was stoutly championed on
the Democratic side Of the chamber.
Senator Hoar might have added to his
list the sumac Of Virginia, the sugar Of
Louisiana, the plate glass Of Indiana, anda
long list Of items "too numerous to men
ton" which Democratic members Of Con-
press have been moved to stand nobly by"
A tariff ought to be laid with a view to Its
general fairness, but when special inter
ests" are mentioned Democratic fault
finders ought to initiate the oyster and

And LoI the American Was There.

A newspaper published at Constansti'
nople announces the discovery Of Noah't
ark; OF which it is not too much to say thai
it is "important II true" Certain Turkish
Commissioners, instructed to investigate
tho matter Of Mount Ararat avalanches
came upon "a gigantic structure Of very
dark wood protruding from a glacier" II
was nothing new to the natives, who fol
six years had been gazing on 1t in terror
for "a spirit Of fierce aspect had been seer
looking out Of the upper window"
The old craft had been good deaI
baoged about, but it was not damaged be-
yond recognition. For the comparatively
well preserved condition OF the ark We are
probably indebted to the fact that it was
found to have been "painted brown" The
Bible narrative tells US that Noah wa
commanded to "piteh it within and with
ont with PITCH" but il the Turkish Com
missioners find that 1t was painted brown
Noah stands convicted Of a hardness o.
head, after the fashion Of certain modern
builders. 1t will be admitted, however
that brown paint was much better for the
purpose than some Of the cheap tinti
which offend the eye and soon wash out
In the construction material Noah seems to
have done better; the ark is OF the gopher
wood Of Holy Writ
The account Of the fad relates that "an
American was soon on the spot, and nego'
tiations have been entered into [presuma'
bly, by said American on the spot with the
local Pasha for its speedy transfer to the
United States" This explains the spirit
OF fierce aspect seen looking out OF the
upper window" 1t is very evident that
the American concealed himself within
not having been "pitched without"-at
the time Of the landing Of, the ark, and
after protracted wait, Seeing that his
patient vigil was about to be rewarded by
discovery, put in ali his spare time fright
ening the natives, for sufficient commercial
reasons preiering to be discovered by high
functionaries OF heather government
Nothing is said about our flag, but Of
course it was on hand, either at the mast
head or wrapped about the manly form Of
the long delayed but highly enterprizing
American. The negations for the ark are, Of
course, merely formal, having due regard
10 the courtesy due from the representative
Of these United States to friendly power.
There is no record that the ark was ever
the properly OF the Porte. We shall ex-
pect this model OF early naval architecture
to be brought to this country. 1t
is not likely to 20 to New York, which
overstrained itself on the obelisk and is
now yainly striving to lind resting place
for the Bartholdi Statue. New York is SO
crowded that she hasn't roomior the ark,
and SO poor that she couldn't buy it.
Wheeling IS itch in hills, and If properly
approached on the subject would fix up
one Of her Ararats to accommodate this
relic Of an ancient civilization.
And now what next? When the pill
osopher's stone shall be found and split
open may we not expect to see the ublqui-
tious American step out and lay claim to
the property 1t hath been said. that We are
great people.

"Confound that scaly sinner; that's
the third time he's skinned my hook, I"
and he yanked up his fish pole and
prepared to rebait. 1t was on the
sunny side of the bridge, and for three
hours the two fishermen had silently
sat and the fish had been equally
silent. Attaching dainty morsel SO
that the point to be taken could not
be seen, he chuoked his sinker into the
water and then continued:
Just out by them ar sticks pulled

panion.

WONDERFUL SMITHSONIAN
INSTITUTION.
The Greatest Clearing House Of
Literature and Science in
the World.
Special TO Commercial Gazette.

Special to Commercial Gazette.
WASHINGTON, August N.-The
Smithsonian Institution is the greatest
literary and scientific clearing house
in the world. It's scope in this field
is universal. Any person can send
mere any number of copies of a scien.
ti6c publication, addressed as de-
scribed, and the Institution sees that
they are delivered without cost to the
sender. An American author can
thus distribute an edition of a learned
treatise through foreign countries, near
and remote, as we'll as his own, while
foreign writer's can in turn reach every
learned society and student in this
country or in other foreign countries,
Practically the exchanges are made in
most cases between societies rather
than individuals, and some idea can
be gained of the proportion of the
work from the fact that the institu.
ton now has 3l5l societies or agents
with which it is in regular CORE
spondence. The report for 1881, just
published, gives 29O8 foreign GORE
spondents in that year, distributed as
follows: Africa, 36; America, outside
of the United States, 1875; Asia, 68;
Australasia, 50; Europe, 2578; Polyne,
sia, 2; miscellaneous, z. Ten years
ago there were only 1885, while in
1850 the institution was in communi-
cation with only 1877.

Secret Information.

During times Of war, messages have
been transmitted in many curious
ways. The intelligence which enabled
Cyrus to overthrow the Median Mon.
archy was conveyed in the body Of
hare sent him as a present. The inN
stigator of the Ionian revolt against
Persia sent his agent a trugty slave
with verbal orders to shave his head,
when the necessary instructions APP
peared traced on the skin beneath.
During Mohammed's wars letters OF
this kind were frequently plated in
the long hair Of female slaves The
mediaval fashion Of writing in ink
which only became visible when held
to the fire is we'll known; but Cardinal
Richelieu surpassed even this by his
device Of a dispatch whose alternate
lines made an entirely different sense
from that Of the letter as a whole.
During the French war an important
letter was concealed in q roasted crab.
Warren Hastings, when blookaded in
Benares by Cheyete Singh, apprized
the English army of his situation by
dispatches written on rolled up slips
Of parchment, which his messengers
carried in their ears, instead Of the
duillS usually worn there. A story
that sounds Mgnckausenish states that
a French SPY, in 1870, carried a pho
tograph dispatch through the German
lines in the hollow Of one Of his false
teeth Human ingenuity is almost
limitless when great object is to be
gained.

About $4,000 of the bonds of the
State were received by the board yes
terday to be converted into the 5O>3

BAI.TIMORE's ORIOLE.
Imposing Arrangements for the
Monumental City's Great
Carnival.
Special to the oOurIer-JOurnal.


WASHINGTON, AugustH.- THE Bal
timore press has been kind and gener-
Gus in its notice of the great Exposi.
ton now in progress at Louisville. In
return for this the Louisville press
should occasionally boost the Balti>
more Oriole. The show lasts from the
18th to the 18th of September, and it
Is going to be a magnificent "afair.
Mr.. j. b. Pangborn, Of the Baltimore
and Ohio road, who has done more for
the success Of the enterprise than any
other man, and from him your cor
respondent cleaned the following facts:
Thousands Of visitors are expected in
Baltimore during the 0riole festivi-
ties. The South and West have
been informed of the coming
event by all sorts of fanciful posters,
as well as by newspapers. Advices
from all parts of the country show
that the Oriole is being talked about.
The railroad companies are doing
everything in their power to make the
carnival a success. The Southern
trunk lines will follow the example of
the New York pool commission in is
suing halt rate tickets. At points as
far south as New Orleans excursion
tickets good for thirty days will be
sold. Arrangements have been CONS
pleted with the United States Electric
Light Company for lighting the streets
on pageant night, along the entire
route. Four lights, with rehectors,
will be suspended on each block; 100
calcium lights will also be used, in
addition to which there will be an ar
ray Of torch bearers. The brilliancy
of the illumination will bring out the
effect of the richness of the tableaux.
Besides the many attractions already
announced, preparations are being
made to have a tournament at News
ington Park.
The prizes will cost $500, and will
be announced at q grand coronation
ball to be given at the Academy of
Music. Most of the Maryland ceun-
ties will be represented by riders.
Knights are also expected from Vir-
GINA and Pennsylvania.
The invitation cards to the ball are
very artistic in design. They are cir
cular shaped, and have two folds. The
outside, divided into thirds, shows a
picture of the city, a drawing of
knights engaged in contests, masks
and decorated inscriptions; also the
following quotation from George
Eliot: There is no pleasure in living
if you are to be corked up forever,
and only dribble your mind out by the
sly, like leaky barrel" On the in
side Of the card Lord Baltimore floats
on the Chesapeake in q shell drawn
by two swans, whose necks are
wreathed with roses. There are also
many ether pretty conceitS. The adj
mission cards for the ladies are in the
shape of an orioles wing, and those
for gentlemen are shaped like q key,
both being old gold in color.
