A Protection Argumer

Says the Memphis Avala ache, = pro
lection organ, which pretends to be
Democratic; "Mr. Robert y. Porter
writes to the Philadelphia Press that
mems clothing are cheaper in Boston
than in Lon don" IL that is true 1t Is
a bad thiiIg for protectionists CLOTH
ing can. only be cheaper a this coun-
try tnan in England because the ma
tedal, wool, OF which IL Is made, or
the work Of making II, is cheaper
than in that country. Wool is a
protected industry, and protected be-
cause It's producers say they cannot
compete with foreign wool, which is
sold cheaper than they can cell.
Therefore wool is higher in this coun-
try than in England. The necessary
conclusion, then, is that labor, the re-
manning factor in the production OF
clothing, is cheaper than in England
and what becomes of the argument
that protection makes good wages =?
Mr.. Porter should pause awhile.

ANOTHER Englishman has made his
name famous. Prof. Richard Proctor,
II was, who gave the world scientific
analysis on the Outstanding game of
poker. The latest Is DIR. William Pool,
who figures with mathematical GER
tainty on the chances in the game of
whist. As a basis Of his calculation he
says the tlfty-two cards can be distrib-
uted in 1884, 1877 1913, 1873, 709 sS0, 2s7, :
10000 different ways. That is almost
as great variety Of changes as the
Dallas Herald has made In politics.

misuse Of its Ands. had brought upon
him. there las been no financial dis
aster wit Al so tr,gical consequence as
the f>dure of the New Brunswick
oanG in New Jersey. The story has
oeen told in THE GAzErrB's tele-
graphic columns. Two suicides and a
sudden death are the fruits Of the dis
honest dealings OF trusted bank Off.
Gals in this case. A million or more
dollars stolen from confding deposi-
tors, the ruin of poor families, and
wretchedness to everybody many way
connected with the bank are further
and minor results which in them
selves are enough to fs9ten upon the
guilty parties the odium of one Of the
greatest crimes OF the day.
There is an engaging text here for
the moralist; but beyond its merely
moral feature, THE GAZETTE directs
attention to the prime cause OF this be-
trayal OF trust and its attendant wide
spread misery. A former director Of
the bank exposed the rottenness ofthe
entire concern when he said: Charley
Hill (the delinquent CASHIER was too
liberal. The Republican party went
to him as banker for funds. He
doubtless took the banks surplus to
aid his friends" That is 1t. When
the Republican party needed money
to corruptly influence elections, the
cashier, presumably a good Republic
can who was quite ready to appropri-
ate other peoples money TO help the
grand old party" went to the vaults
and took out whatever was necessary
to meet the emergency.
This is an example of the party
which to-day is asking the voters of
the country to continue ii in power
and prolong its career of crime. 1t
robs the poor, ruins business, destroys
confidence and hurries its tools to de-
struction and death--to death by their
own hands-and dishonored graves.
There is no parallel to this instance Of
political iniquity, outside of the party
whose agents were capable Of commit
ting it. The great presidential fraud
exceeded it only In the degree that it
affected the whole country directly.
The robbery of bank in New Jersey
and the murder of those connected
with it is merely local affair, but 1t
shows the capacity for wickedness Of
the party which committed it, and is a
fresh argument against prolonging the
of that party. Clean out the
rascals, and put an honest man at the
head of government, who has shown
himself, as governor of the greatest
state in the Union, to be incorruptible
and iutolerant Of q suspicion of conup-
ton In his public servants.

ENGLAND and Germany don't
speak as they pass oy The cause Of
the unpleasantness Is that each wants
TO steal the territory from the African

THE American toadies who claim to

about the matter, but the case will
hardly come to trial before the cleo

KELLY, at last has Issued his letter
of acceptance and a feeling of relief is
felt throughout the country. There
has been more interest felt in this man
than in any of the side-show presiden-

has called around him his chiefs and
after hearing nom each severally and
in regular order, arose and announced
himself in favor OF Cleveland, and
urged that Tammany must support
the Democratic nominee, as It was a
Democratic organization to the core
This settles the question as to whom
Tammany win support.

The lapse of time brings distinctive
friendships. The intimacy of to-day becomes
frigid, disjointed, incapable of readjustment
on the old basis, as time has carried it for
ward beyond the lapse of one or two decades
of years. The friendship that was to know
no end has faded in separation and the di
vergent pursuits and tastes of life. You are
looking forward, says philosophic observer,
to meeting with one who used to be your
greatest friend, but whom you have not met
for years. None closer than the two of you
used to be. You meet, and a glance shows
that you cannot mingle, that you are shut
out from one another. There is not the
common sympathy whose atmosphere you
can breathe. Perhaps you have grown and
he has not There are some old friends,
says Wendell Holmes, that are of no more
use to man than The log which the sailor
filings overheard to mark what progress he is
making. Orif they have also grown, it is
still worse, for the growth has been upon
lines divergent from your own. He is of
money, moneyed; you are of books, bookish.
He is as incomprehensible to you as stock
exchange list is to divinity student and
you to him as work on metaphysics is to
backwoodsman. Or he bears upon him the
scent of far off land, and in his voice there
is strange accent, or the colloquialism of
other cities and cliques makes his converse
tiou repellant; or he talks another kind of
''shop'' from you; and you dare not touch
on politics, and have nothing but the
weather to fall back upon. When that is ex-
hausted GU cannot in the stiffness of the en-
suing silence thank God for such RENE M

HELEN IN THE WOOD.
BY A. MARY F. ROBINSON.

left the yew trees shadow, thrown
Slantwise across the graves and grown
So long l knew the day waxed late,
And opened wide the churchyard gate;
Paused there, for from the church behind
2yoices of women clave the wind,
I And organ music rose and rang;
i heard the village choir that sang,
But /, who had no heart for song,
Sighed, shut the gate, and went along
The lane, where rows of elms, wind-vexed,
Nodded fantastic heads, preplexed
At Winters dimly BODIED woes
At last the trees grew thick and close,
The rain was over, but the copse
Shoots down at whites some after-drops,
Through sunshine, through wet branches seen,
Sheltered in living fakes of green,
And where below ground ivy grew
A fallen heaven lay darkly blue
So soon. The tempest scarce was done,
And all the web world sang and shown
Lovelier yet I think the place
Found but in grief an added grace
While 1.-The tears fell and / sighed
1t was a year since Helen died.
At length raised my eyes. Behold
The branches green, the bracken's gold
Gained new meaning in my sight,
That found the center of their light:
Was it a star? Was it glame?
No: there my Helen went-au white.
To shield her from the branches harms
She lifted up her lovely arms;
Just as of old, above the large
Sweet eyes her hair made golden marge;
Through tangled fern, through grass still wet,
Her feet went firmly on; and yet
knew, although no word was said,
She did not live, she was not dead
At last she neared my watching place:
She paused and looked me in the face,
Smiled once her smile that understood,
Passed-and how lonely was the wood
l trod the way went before,
passed the church's open door,
The hymn went pealing in the sky
"oh, love, how deep, how broad, how highl''

The Inst Centennial Girl.
Tshoe and Leather Reporter.l

George Washington was great and good as
everybody knows, but he had his little yexa-
tons, nevertheless. In a recent number of
the Magazine of American History is a letter
written by him concerning Harriet Wash
ington, young girl who had been living in
his family and whom he is sending to his sis
ter. "Harriet has sense enough - he says,
but no disposition to industry, nor to be care
full of her Clothes" and special stress is laid
upon the necessity of directing her Sin the
use and application of things to wear, ''for
without this,n he adds, '.they will be dab
bled about in every hole and corner, and
her best things always in USE" The aver
age girl of Washington's day seems to have
