BEHIND THE BARS.

The roses bloom in the garden,
The bee comes wooinR the flowers;
The song-hird pipes to his nest-mate
Through all the golden hours.
The breeze Is frcighted with fragrance
From forest and field and lea,
But youth has fed
And hope lies dead,
SO what Is it all TO me7
The bluebird rocks in the tree-tops,
Free as the summer air,
Swings and sways and MARBLES
With never n fiutter of care;
Memories never haunt him,
No thought of the morrow has ne;
But the guarded wall,
Like a sombre pail,
OcrshadOws IL all for me
sit in the growing twilight
And gaze on the evening sky,
ON the glorious sunset banners
That athwart the hill-tops fly,
Till the diamond eyes of Heaven look down
On the bondmen and the free;
But l see the stars
Through prison bars,
So what is Il all to mel
All, the flowers have lost their perfume,
The summer breeze is chill,
The bees are naught but gluttons,
And harsh the song birds thrill;
In the mighty voices of Nature,
OF earth, or heaven, or sea,
There's naught of cheer
For the convict's ear;

WHo Is PROTECTED p-The strongest
argument offered in favor of pro-
tective tariff is that it keeps up de-
mand for price of American labor and
is in the interest of the poor working
man. Now if this is true why is it
that the laborers in industries which
receive the highest protection are
everlastingly complaining Of irpay
and inaugurating strikes to better
their condition It is a rare thing
for strikes to occur outside of pro-
tected industries. So far as we can
see, protection does not protect the
laborers. but is making ia few men
and companies SO enormously rich
and influential that they can and do
control Legislatures and Congress
and have the power to prevent any
not satisfactory to them.

Indian Commissioner Price is try
ing to break up polygamy among the
Indians. We think the Government
had better suppress it among the Nor
mons frat and then it will be an easy
matter with the Indians. The latter
have never known any better and
many OF the lazy Mormon men would
starve on the support of only one
woman. Anyhow. better for the
present leave the Indians alone with
their plural wife system. and deal
more vigorously with the Mormons.
The course OF the Government on
this Mormon-polyg question is,
IN our opinion, pusilanimously cow
ardly and dishonest. Il is a mere
pgetense and shallow sham.

How Canes Are Manufactured.

The horrible habit of Americans of
putting their hands in their pockets has
led to the popularity of canes in this
country. The Japanese gentleman
shows appreciation to the same feeling
when his costume is Incomplete
out his shutting fan, which he hangs at
his belt, over his right shoulder, or in
the breast folds of his silken gown. The
French or English gentleman for the
same reason never attends q full dress
party without his crush hat in his hand.
The fashion of carrying canes, how
ever, among the swells and lah-de-dah
lads of New York has each season its
rules which are observed with as much
exquisite punctilio as those of ladies
who wear poke bonnet one year and
scoop hat the next. Most of these
fashions originate in Europe. A year
or two ago there were two styles-the
shepherds crook, shaped like fish
hook, and the Zulu crook, a plain.
curved handle. The Zulu came from
Paris, the shepherd from London.
These styles in canes were introduced
in the spring, and were preceded by the
crutch. When our fathers were lads
the whalebone cane was the proper
thing. Now they are so scarce that
they are worth to the dealer from three
dollars to three and half. Last year
the fashion was to carry q silYer-baIl
cane. Then there is a style in CARRYING
cane, and this varies each wear. One
year it was to walk with spring gait.
with bent knees and arms akimbo as
lar forward as possible, and the cane
was held between one finger and thumb,
correctly balanced so as to swing grace
fully. Then came the aesthetic STYLE.
The cane was held in front of the BODY
by the first and second fingers of both
hands, and was allowed to hang limp,
while the elbows were still further for
ward, and the shoulders, if possible.
more round. Then there was fashion
