John Roach Continues His Testimony Before
the Senate Sub Committee.
New YORK, Sept. 12-Johu Roach, the
shipbuider resumed his testimony this
morning before the senators of the education
and labor committee He wished to correct
some misapprehensions which seem to ex-
ist in the minds of the public regarding his
previous testimony. He denied emphatic
ally that he testified that ships could be
built as cheaply in this country as in Eng
land. He said materials were as cheap here
as in England, but the cost of labor was
greater, which increased the cost of building
Mr.. Roach believed in the protection of
labor in order to develop properly the re-
no person would have an opportunity of
developing his genius unless those indus
tries existed in which his talents could
be exercised. He claimed that without
protection no industries except farming and
mining could be carried on. In the case of
the three commodities, cotton and wooden
goods and iron, the average value of the
yearly mportation for the last ten years was
$1,17S, 100000. These facts Mr.. Roach con-
sldered dangerous sign, especially as they
existed under the present tariff laws. The
WITNESS prOceeu0u 10 give the cOnnlIIee
further enlightenment on the question of
free ships. At the present time Great Britain
had one thousand millions of money in
vested in the shipping business. 1t was her
most profitable industry. Ten years ago
England had 142, 900 men engaged in the sail
ing merchat service and $500 in the steam
merchant vessels; to-day there were 1910
men in the sailing service and 1866 900 in the
steam service. Last year the earnings of this
immense merchant feet were $400, 600, 900.
This enormous stride of the British people
was accomplished at the expense of
this country. The interests of the
workingmen were neglected by those who
ought to guard them, and this was the secret
of the decrease of American shipping in Mr..
Roach's opinion. On the question of hours
of labor, Mr.. Roach believed that if the
eight-hour system was established by the
government it would be necessary to increase
the protective tariff in order to counteract
the influence of the increased cost of produc-
ton Getting down to bottom facts, Mr.
Roach said the only way of benefiting the
condition of labor in general was to give it
chance at land. If the government would
give $50 acres of land to every man who
would go west and cultivate it himself, there
would be an easy solution OF the labor ques-
ton. In order to do this effectually the
government should appropriate a certain
sum for transporting emigrauts to the West,

Churches ought not to close in
summer unless it is impossible to secure
supplies. One service a day and the
Sunday School service are necessary to,
the welfare of the church. Especially
bad is it for village churches to close
their doors for month, at the very
time when city people are in the coun-
try. An open church all the year
around, be the weather hot or cold,
wet or dry, is the prosperous plan.

a MODEL GARDENER.

Bill Hedger was gardener
Who earned his daily meat
BY toiling zealously all day
His zeal was hard to beat.
He was a man of tender parts,
And thoughtful for his years
Fen when he cut his onions down
His eyes would fill with tears.
He was so pitiful and kind
He'd dread to cut his lawn;
But though he'd never shock his friends
He'd often shock his corn.
A score of carrots oft he'd give
To feed widows kline;
Such gems of charity are rare
Full twenty caratS fine.
His wretched horse could hardly creep,
Bill propped him while.he grazed;
He said he'd have better steed
When his celery was raised.
He'd sometimes califlower to him
When he had done his work
He loved it stewed in buttermilk,
Or boiled with greens and pork.
But death at last moved William down,
And they planted him in loan,
And gave him for his epitaph-
HE found sweet pease at home?

The Hedge-Ho Husband.

Kindness is good investment at any
time or anywhere, but in no place does
it give better returns than at home.
There, above all other places, is it bread
cast upon the waters that will return a
hundred times in the love and affections
of your family. If a man does not pos
sess the hearts of the little ones that
gather around his fireside, he is humid
red times bankrupt, though he owns
stocks and bonds, and lives upon the
interest of his interest.
1t would be time wasted to attempt
to paint the loyalty of woman to the
hedgehog husband. He knows that if
his own parents should disown him to-
morrow, and misfortune overwhelm
him, he could still find pillow for his
cares on the bosom of his wife. While
we appreciate that nothing is gained by
reasoning with this creature, there is
some satisfaction in letting him know
occasionally that the world is watching
him.

A Born Niggah Gemmen, Sab!

A storyis going the rounds of the Lon

time Tweeds valet, and is now the valet
of a well-known American in London,
is the hero. A young gentleman, fear
ing he might play and drink too heavily
at club he was about to visit. induced
Luke to accompany him to bring him
safely home. Arrived at the club, per-
mission was obtained that Luke should
remain in the card room, instead of be-
ing sent to the servants waiting-room.
AS the night wore on and the players
became excited and boisterous, one of
them, who was losing largely, began
swearing at everything in general, and
at Luke in particular, and inquired sew
eral times "what business that id
niger had in that ROOM" Luke said
nothing for long time, but, as the
young man did not seem inclined to
drop the matter, but grew more emphat-
ic in his demand that the niger be re-
moved, Luke finally took card from
his pocket, and with great dignity placed
it on the table, saying, "There, sir, is
my card. If you want any satisfaction
you can find me. You are loafer, sir;
but am born niger gentleman"
and while the players were recovering
from their amazement, walked coolly
