After tire defeat of the Morrison
tariff bill, Congressman Hewitt, of New
York introduced bill, that he is now
pushing, nodded after his ideas of
tariff reform. Last week ex-tarif COM
missioner Henry W. Oliver, himself a
large manufacturer of wire rods, barb
ed wire ETC., came out with letter
charging Mr.. Hewitt, who is also a
metal manufacturer, with manipulating
the bill in the interests of his company,
as follows:
First-He increases the duty on wire,
of which he is one of the largest manu-
facturers in the United States, half a
cent per pound.
Second-He doubles the duty wiz
increases it from Clio to 1910 cents per
pound) on iron rods, of which he is the
largest manufacturer i'll the country.
Third-He places steel rods, (which
he is large consumer, and which he
does not manufacture, practically on
the free list.
He concludes by saying that "Mr.
Hewitt's bill, the title of which is, "To
Modify Existing Laws Relating to Du-
ties on Imports" leans so favorably
towards Trenton, N. j., that l suggest,
so far as the metal schedule is con-
cerned, that it might appropriately be
placed on the private calendar and en-
titled "a Bill for the Benfiet of Coop
er, Hewitt e. Co."
To this Mr.. Hewitt retorts in kind,
making substantially the same charges
against Oliver, namely: that under the
Oliver tariff wire rods, barbed wire,
etc., well known specialities of Oliver
Brothers and Phelps, the like favor
was shown, and inquiries: GLOW does
it occur, that under the operation Of the
Oliver tariff you have been compelled
to purchase two new wire mills, one
blast furnace, and partnership in the
Hartman mill, while other mills are
content with old fashioned ten per cent
How does it occur that under the benign
operations of the Oliver tariff the Oliver
mills in Pittsburg were enabled to run
the whole year while other iron mills
run on an average but four months
How many of your one dollar and fiji
teen cents per day employees enjoy the
benefits of the Oliver tariff?' And in
conclusion gives the following Roland
for an Oliver: ~ would suggest so faI
as wire rods, barbed wire, etc, are con.
cerned, that the Oliver tariff report
might be appropriately termed "a Bill
for the relief of Oliver Brothers anC
Phillips y.
This in our humble Judgment fairly
illustrates the whole matter of protec
tion: individual manufacturers real
the benefits, while the people foot The
bills. at is fun for the boys, but dcatf
to the frogs"
And the difficulties in the way of ;
proper adjustment OF tiie ,ariii lies IL
these diverse interests.
Mr.. Hewitt, who is consumer Of
wire rods, would put them on the fret
list, while Mr.. Oliver, who manufac
lures these rods, wants heavy protec
ton, and rice ycrSd.
And now steps in the wool growers

4 THE DISGRACEFUL FAILURE.
The affairs of the firm of Grant Il
Ward grow more bewildering from day
to day. ''Ten millions of liabilities and
no assets and no business" appears to
be the showing of the bankrupt estate.
1t is now stated and generally believed
that the Government contracts which
the firm induced multitudes of innocent
victims, male and female, to believe
that they had under their control, yield
ing enormous profits, were altogether a
myth, and that they never had a Gov
eminent contract, great or small. The
business of the concern consisted SIM
ply in taking the peoples money and
paying them large "profits" out of the
principal as long as it lasted, and then
going to smash.-[N. Y. Nation.
This Congress ought to enact ma
tional bankrupt law without delay. The
privilege of selecting preferred credit
ors has become great swindle in the
hands of half the bankrupts of this pc
riod.-[N. Y. Graphic.

A Jersey Bird Story,

A remarkable instance Of how birds
are attracted by light at night occurred
recently in the northern part of New
Jersey. Two young men, sons of a
Sussex county farmer, were bobbing
for cells in the Waikiki. They were in
small boat, and, as the night was
very dark and rainy, they had provid-
ed themselves with common stable
lantern. 1t was near the witching hour,
and, save for the croaking of the frogs
and pattering of the rain drops, every
thing was as still as death. The drow-
sy pumpkins were about taking mp
their bobs preparatory to going home,
when suddenly an unearthly shrek
close to their ears raised their hats up
on their heads.
Il never heard such a yell in all my
life" said one of them in describing
the occurrence: lit was fearful. Then
there was rush of wings and flap
ping overhead, and l thought the devil
had come for me. Something sharp
struck me, then was sure the devil
was sticking his pitchfork into
me. | hallooed out and tried to
ward off any more such prods, and hap

what is the strangest thing of all, that
night three other herons came from the
kin and circled over the barn, and
quacked and called, but how the knew
the other heron was inside we can't
imagine. They did the same thing
for several night until the captive her

The Song of the Wood Thrush.

The song of this bird defies descrip-
ton, though it has inspired both ex-
travagant and Pc -Iical attempts from
the most prosaic of writers. When
heard from distance it sounds very
deliberate: succession of detached
passages, with frequent pauses. ending
in trin, sometimes easily distinguish
ed as such, but often so rapidly deliv-
cred as to resemble the syllable
'.che-e-e" with peculiar and hides
cribable thrill in it. If you are near.
however, you find the pauses filed with
low notes. having, apparently, no con-
nection with the song. One cannot
help but fancy them irrepressible
words of endearment, ineffably sweet
and tender, and wonderfully enhancing
the charm of the performance.
He IS not chary of his gift. He sings
at all hours of the day, excepting in the
heat of noon; but he seems most keenlv
to enjoy the fading light of afternoon
and the evening until long after dark.
Not little of the mystery and melan-
choly that poetical minds find in his
music is due to the thoughtful twilight
hours in which it is heard. 1t is in itself
far from sadness Indeed, there can
be no more perfect picture of deep Joy
than this beautiful bird standing tran
gully on his branch, while giving slow
utterance to notes that thrill your soul.
The weather is a matter of no mo-
ment to the wood thrush; he has a soul
above externals. Other birds may BIZ
full of song, or moping on their perches;
be it wet or dry, sunshine or rain, he
sings, and sings, and sings.
"Howsoeer the world goes i'll,
The thrushes still sing in it,
The strongest attraction of a certain
home in the Allegheny Mountains is the
song of this bird. Around the house
feathered visitors are numerous, but no
wood thrush is ever seen. Late in the
afternoon, however, when other song
sters are settling themselves for the
night, and, save the robin chatter, no
sound of bird is heard, out of the deep
woods which surround the small clear
ing, comes the stirring evening hymn
of the thrush. 1t begins with a clear,
far-off prelude of three notes on an as
cending scale; then a deliberate rest,
! followed by three other and different
| notes, and ending in rapturous trill.
After a decorous pause, another takes
up the strain. There is no haste, no
interruption, never a clamor of song.
Each one enjoys his full length of time,
and though there may be a dozen sing
ers within hearing there is no confu-
sion. Each rich solo is a complete
whole, perfect pearl. To sit on a
balcony of the house through the long
tranquil hours of the approaching night,
listening to the grand and lofty SYM
phony, is a Acknowledgements expe-
rience; lifting the soul above the earth,
