THE Philadelphia Times the independent
roper with Democratic tendencies of that
quiet and Quakerish city, reads Mr.. Melon
aid a lecture on his tarff-for-revenueonl
foolshness, which, as the saying is, may be
good for his wholesome. 1t is altogether SO
pat and will be of such advantage to those
who may be deceived by the catter and
clamor of the freetraders, that we reprint
it. The lecture is based upon Mr.. Melon.
AIDS last interview as it appeared in the
News. The Times says
'.Mr Mcdonald, of Indiana, seems to be
determined to exercise the old Hoosier no
lticai prerogative of committing suicide.
Just after the elections last fall he came
prominently before the country as the
probable choice of the West in the next
Democratic convention. He rushed forth
with to Washington, where he talked with
such perfect freedom to everybody that it
was very evident he was willing and anxious
to sacrifice himself
After time some kind but shrewd friend
bundled him off to Indiana with an injunc-
ton against talking, since which time less
has been heard of him. AS result, his
chances have greatly improved. But it is
now evident that he has enemies, and that
they are determined he shall talk. The will
ing candidate has Just submitted to another
interview. He has evidently been down TO
Louisville to see Mr.. Watterson, and his en-
thusiasm has got the better of his prudence.
He insists upon a tariff for revenue only.
He is sure. too, that the tariff is the only ma
tional issue, and that the West and South
will unite against the present tariff and pro-
lection.

EXcITE,7ENT has been created in New York
commercial circles by the discovery that the
telegraph wires have been tapped for the ben
eft of bucket shops and whole buckets full of
market reports carried of. Just how to pre-
vent the robbery is the question, as skillful
operators can make as many taps as they like
without detection, and the bucket shops can
have a regular sugar camp so to speak, with
out costing them a cent.

1t would at once fall to insignificant proportions,
and 1t is altogether probable that not more than
one-tenth would be made. Thousands OF work
men would be cast adrift, and inevitable suffer-
ing must ensue. Hence the palpable necessity
of some one keeping up this tlme-honored OBJ
servance. And by the same process of reason
ing 1t must become apparent that he who be-
comes possessed of a 81 or $40 silk umbrella ia
much more publc-spirited than he who is con-
tent TO assume charge of a cheap cotton one.
The logic of political economy has pronounced
its verdict: The umbrella of high and low de-
gree is outlawed, and is made subject to confis-
cation the moment il is discovered outside of its
owners hands.

MADAME PATTI was invited to attend a dinner
party to be given in her honor by Mrs. Parar
Stevens, but the prima donna declined the invi-
tatiOn on the ground that, as it came the evening
before she was to sing, she could not risk the
exertion The same evening, however, she and
5ignor Nicolini gave dinner party to several
gentlemen friends, and apparently enjoyed them
selves greatly. To a prying newspaper man
who wanted to know what she meant by snoh
inconsistent conduct, the Madame graciously
explained that "where there are ladies at dinner
one has to do SO much talking that it tires me
very much, and always have 10 refuse such
invitations when the dinner is too near the
evening on which sing. I'm afraid of getting
tired and injuring my throat. Where the guests
are all gentlemen. it is not so trying to me, for
they usually entertain themselves. L do not
have to talk much.' After hearing this, New
York society gentlemen thought they had been
complimented, and triumphed over their talka-
tive lady friends until the latter inquired what
there was fatterlng about the claim OF being
easily and sufficiently amused with something
to eat. The general impression among outsiders
is that no one was complimented, and that some
one was snubbed.

A SUNDAY QUESTION:.

The debate continues in Washington rs
TO the propriety of opening the National
Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Con-
gresional Library, ETC., on Sundays. Ii
brarian Spoffogd strongly advocates the
keeping of the library open on Sunday.
In so doing he manifesto broad and con.
sentative sense Of what is proper. As it
is, employees of the Government, except
By taking time from hours due the nation,
cannot visit the library at all. Rev.
Robert Collyer Of New York has written a
letter fayoring the opening of the institu
tions named on Sunday. It is noticeable
how parallel are his views and those Of
Ingersoll on that subject. Says the for
mer: 1t makes Sunday more sacred TO
open such treasures freely to the public,
and especially to those who have no time
to drink in their beauty and worth on
week days" Says the latter 8" 1 am in
favor of hsing happy seven days in the
week" Rev. W. W. Hicks, Corgrega-
tional, Rev. J. J, Murphy, Catholic, hold
like views; but Bishop Andrews, Method
iss, DR.. Bartlett, Presbyterian, and Rev.
f. D. Power, Campbellite, oppose them.
l. would seem that So long as
dance houses, saloons, concert halls,
beer gardens, race courses aud thsa-
tiers may unrestrainedly invite the
public on Sunday, only b narrow
