The Onois Of the Tariff

Mr. Watterson in his speech at
Nashville, gave the origin of the
word tariff as follows: Upon the
southermost coast OF Spain, not far
from Gibraltar, there is a little island
connected with the mainland by a
causeway, and upon this island stands
an old town called Tariff. IL once
belonged to the Moors, who made il
when they we're a power in the world,
a port Of entry to the Mediterranean.
sea. They knew nothing about Gus
tom houses and schedules, and cared
less about home industries and inter.
national exchanges. A few junks
and fiint.locks sufficed 10 collect the
tribute they exacted from the pau.
per labor Of Europe" Hence the
origin Of the word tariff" I do not
find, however, in any history that
they levied bounties upon their own
people. They we're rude and honest
pirates, who did their pillaging in
the old.fashioned way, having enjoyed
none Of the advantages of that mod
ern economy which has discovered a
gentler method of scuttling ships and
cutting Threats. Doubtless, however,
the natives of Tarifa thought they
were doing a good thing for their
country in exscting tribute of the
stranger.

The Hawaiian Minister Dies of Vertigo
While Attending the Presidents Reeep-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-At the presidents
reception the Hawaiian minister, after be-
ing presented the president while on his
way to an ante-room, was attacked with
vertigo and spasms, and was promptly at

ward died in one OF the ante-rooms at the

was taken sick the music stopped, and af-

Tho announcement Of the death of Mr..
Allen followed 80 quickly on the first report
Of his illness, that they were almost sim11ta-

in company with his son preparatory to
leaving the building. He WAS chatting
cheorfully with some one whom suddenly
he became speeches. and fell back upon
the sofa. Past Assistant Surgeon Hanne-

man in attendance. He was quickly joined
by DR.. Basil Norris, of the army,

came apparently without yremniotion
excepting slight sensation of

LEON GAMRETr4.

With the incoming of the new year the
mortal spirit of Leon Gambetta passed
away. phenomenon in country that
has produced the most phenomenal men
of history, he has absorbed a large share
of the public attention for decade, and
passes from human vision at the moment
that his star is in the descendant. He was
peculiarly man for a great opportunity,
and, more fortunate than many others of
equal ability, he had that opportunity pre-
scented to him and grasped it.
Twelve years sgo the man who has since
been almost dictator in France, was uH-
known-a poor, struggling advocate and
scribbler for the metropolitan press. The
reaction from the revolution of 1871, when
the best minds of France were seeking to
bring order out of chaos and establish a
government of the people, brought Leon
Gambetta to the fore. He was bold, ag-
gressive, fearless, original, unhampered by
either moral or political principle. He
forced his way to the front, espoused the
cause of the extreme republicans, and
waged relentless forensic war upon b.
napartism, legitimatism, and all kindred
political factions. He became leader in
debate in the assembly, was looked up to as
saviour by the mass of the people, and
regarded with envy by those who had
other claims upon political leader
ship. For year or two, however, his
position was insecure. He estab-
lished it beyond cavil byan auda-
cious and successful assault
upon the clerical party, and in few short
weeks not only overthrow the government
that then existed, from the Marshal Presi-
dent down to his lowest cabinet officer, but
placed himself before the world as the I'M
crowned King of France Grevy, whom he
placed in the presidential Office, was his
servient tool, though his senior in years
and poitical experience. The cabinet off,
GERS were made at his beck, and did his
bidding with alacrity. By his self-assertion
and will force he made himself an autocrat
in a nation having more than its share
of ambitious men, and despite the
silent intrigues and open hostility of those
who had governed the people, temporarily
and spiritually, for centuries. He thought
there was no limit to his power and he
aroused enmities among those who should
have been his supporters by pressing
measures for which the country was not
yet prepared. He surrendered his robes
of Office not as ono who had been con-
quered, however, but as a hero whose work
is temporarily stayed, only to be resumed
under more favorable circumstances. He
forced compromise upon his successors,
and promised his faithful adherents, the
people, that he would soon again champion
their cause in the premier's Office. He has
since been as conspicuous as ever in the
chamber of deputies, but the French peo-
pie, always tickle, had begun to weary of
