 Dr. Schliemann does not always draw the line clearly enough between his facts and his theories, but I am one of those who admire his nluck patience skill, and self-sacrifcinO labor unlimitedly. Of course there are great scholars who will continue to sheer because his demonstrated positive facts upset their pet theories; but all such petty scholastic ob- stinacy will be swept away in a decade, and Dr. Schliemann will be honored as he de- serves. If ever a man earned his fame, it was this same doctor, who worked for fortune in order that he might settle these troublous questions oftheTroad, ,and then spent kig'por- tion of it in weary, unrelenting search. Such a man the world calls lobbyist until he achieves success, and even then he is stingily and reltutantly lionized by the jealous world of learning.
 The third city is just what we would ex- pect, hourishing center of Greek art. That it does not surpass the second in mapnif- cence of remains is nothing alarming since Homer represents the glory of ancient Troy as remarkable. The stratum is about ten feet thick, filled with mussel shells, fish bones, copper implements, and ivory instrr1- ments of music The walls are of small stones mixed with clay, orof sundrfed brick. Fragments of fine sculptureGt marble and granite are also scattered about.

Hundreds of feet below us rolled the river Mendere Here and there were traces of ancient walls. The view of the Plain of Troy was superb. Two of the tumuli are ascribed to Hector and Priam, another case of mere nomencla- ture of course. That there was an ancient city here was apparent, but excavations have failed to find remains contemperaneous with the Trojan era Mr. Calvert excavated the so-called tomb of Priam, discovering only a square altar of masonry, twelve feet by fourteen in dimen- sions. He also found metropolis outside of the walls, containing earthen jars, black glazed pottery, and unburned bones, mani festly later than the heroic age
 From Bounarbashi we rode up the Scam ander or Mendere valley to the tomb of Troilus, son of Priam, as the Khanai Tepe is now regarded and on to Villa Thymbra, a farm of MT.

KEEP THE ERASCALS OUT.

One of the war cries of the desperate Demo crats is ''Turn the rascals out!' They mean by this to insinuate that the Republican party has not honestly and carefully carried on the business of the government There have been some comparatively trivial frauds lately discovered in some of the departments and these are paraded in the Demo cratic papers as evidence of the thorough corrup- hon of the Republican party. The govern ment employs in all grades of the public ser vice one hundred thousand persons or more and disburses about million dollars day. At least one-fourth of the government em- ployes are in positions where they have op portunities to defraud the government, if they are dishonest and bold enough to at tempt it, and adroit enough to succeed. A few of them do steal just as some persons in business steal, and the Democrats cry out that the whole number must be judged by the few bad ones.
 Is this fair or in accordance with the facts? Let us see. Examination shows that the loss on each $1 ,000 of receipts during Washing toms administration was $3.72 John Adams was a man probably no more severe in his integrity than Washington, but he was more exacting, and withal better judge of human nature. He brought the rate of loss down to 91 cents on the $1 ,0OO. It went up under Jefferson, the original Democrat, to $2. 65; fell back under James Madison to $1. 10, and then steadily advanced until it attained its maximum under Martin Van Buren-$5.5 53 on the $1 ,000. This waa the most nOrr71nH and Drofioste adminis- tration in the history of the government. Since Van Burens time the rate has been coming down. It was only cents during Folks administration, but it went up to 80 under Taylor and Fillmore Since then it has been coming down by regular gradations. It was 75 cents on the $1 ,000 under Pierce; 62 cents under Buchanan, and, notwithstanding the enormous disburse- ments during the war, the loss under Abra- ham Lincoln was only 10 cents on the $1 ,OOO. It went up under Johnson to 63 cents, came down to g cents under Grant, dropped to four-tenths of 1 cent under Hayes and reach d it's minimum under Arthur-two-tanth of 1 cent loss on every $1 ,O0Ol
 Is there anything in this record to convict the Republican party of rascalitys In his let ter of acceptance Cleveland said: 'I believe that the public temper is such that the voters of the land are prepared. to support the party which gives best promise of administering the government in the honest, simple, and plain manner which is consistent with it's character and purpose" The record shows that the Republican party answers this de- mand

A Question. as bora abl,a and Aoxvs

Joy comes and goes hope ebbs and flows
 Like the wave; Change does unknit the tranquil strength of men. Love lends life little grace; A few sad smiles, and then Both are laid in one cold place,
 In the grave Dreams dawn and fly, friends smile and die
 Like spring flowers; Our vaunted life is one long funeral. Men dig graves with bitter tears For their dead hopes; and all Mazed with doubts and sick with fears
 Count the hours. We count the hours. Those dreams of ours
 False and hollow. Do go hence and find they not dead? Joys we dmly apprehend, Faces that smiled and fled, Hopes born here, and born to end,
 Shall we follows Matthew Arnold.

At the National Veterinary Association s general meeting recently held at Manchester, England, an animated discussion arose dur ing the afternoon on paper read on the sub ject of docking horses of their tails. Several speakers defended the practice, and it was strongly condemned by others, particularly in the case of 'spolo" animals Dr. Fleming, chief veterinary surgeon in the army, said that for twenty years docking had been stopped in the service, and his experience was that horses which were allowed to retain their tails were more useful. The following motion, proposed by Prof. Axe, was adopted unanimously: "That in the opinion of this meeting the operation of docking horses is 8 means of averting danger to man, and is not a cruel operation when shown to be neces- sary." ,-s-----

 the rapid spread Of the anti-slavery idea. It seems that this idea has become powerful in

Against Pauper Labor.

WASHINGTON C1TY, Feb. ga petit
ton against imported foreign labor
which has been signed by many thou
sands OF persons, one of the forms hav-
ing 10000 signatures, is as follows:
We call upon yon in the name of the
Intelligent wage-workers in the United
States. We call your attention to the
fact that this custom is growing into a
steady menace to the stability of Amer
lean institutions, and aims direct blow
at the commercial life of the Union by
attempting by unfair means to reduce
to the starvation level Of Europe the
wages of our workmen. To snch an
alarming extent has this system been
developed that we find the attention of
foreign cOnsuls drawn to its manifest
evils, and in some instances it has been
the snbject of special reports. We well
come gladly to our shores those who
have burst asunder the chains of Op-
preston and come into our midst free
moral agents, but we sternly protest
against the landing Of bands of foreign
laboTers, unon whose bodies blood-mo-
ney to the extent of $50 per head has
been paid and whose liberty has been
fOresworn before their native land
passes from their view. We call upon
you to enact such laws as will make it o.
criminal offense to bring to this coun-
try bodies of men whose freedom has
been purchased, as it is the easiest thing
IN the world to send an agent among
the ill-fed, ill-paid and population
pressed labOrers in almost any of the
industrial centers of the world and OBJ
tain Il sufficient number Of voters ready
to go anywhere at any time and at al
most any price,

A tinware peddler called at house
on Fourth avenue the other day to ex-
change some of his goods for paper
rags. The woman brought out a sack
weighing ten or fifteen pounds and the
peddler held it up on his spring scales
and announced
''Dere vas shust six pounds, so help
me gracious"
Her husband came out at this moment
and replied that he would not accept
any such weight. He knew there were
at least ten pounds in the sack, and he
didn't propose to be sWindled.
My friend, do you pellet / sheat
you 7" asked the peddler.
ou would if you got chance.n
1t was agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself, but he was no
sooner out of sight than the peddler
drove off and did not stop for FIVE
blocks. In the afternoon the man met
him down town and asked:
"Ah, you rascal, why didn't you wait
for me ?'

Importing Pauper Labor.
Chicago Herald.

| There IS no protection for labor. II
is governed by the inexorable laws OF
supply and demand. The tariff never
put dollar in a wOrkingman's pocket,
and never will. Employers buy their
labor where they can get it cheapest.
1t the mechanics of Pennsylvania will
| not work for the wages which are offer
ed their places are supplied by foreign
lmportations. The wages offered them
are never in excess of the amount at
which it is profitable for employers to
import labor.
While the Workingman must submit
to this worldwide competition, his en-
ployer is not similarly troubled. By
the terms of the tariff laws the consum-
er who may wish his wares cannot buy
abroad at cheaper rate, for the duties
are an efectual barrier to transactions
of that kind. The home producer
makes his prices a shade lower than
those OF foreign wares plus the freight
and duty, and, by taking advantage of
an unrestricted labor market, reaps
profits which In a few years enrich him.
Ihls is only one of the beauties OF pro-
lection, but it is interesting. Il shows
that while trade in everything else is re-
strlcted labor may be had anywhere
and everywhere as free as air. There
are no laws to protect it.
The recent importation Of Hungarians
into Pennsylvania is case in point.
They take the places Of American la
borers who refused to work for the
wages offered. These Hungarians are
not settlers. They come under contract
to work q certain number of years, at
the expiration of which time they are to
be returned to their homes. If protec-
tlon protected the workingman would
these wholesale importations Of pauper
labor be possible or profitable y
