The Columbus Dispatch is much
pleased in making the announcement
that Gov. Lowry has vetoed the Rail
road Supervision bill.
II saws mo matter what reason in
1uenced him, Gov. Lowry has aligned
himself with the progressive and wide
awake element Of our people, those who
are in favor Of building up the State,
rather than retarding its growth. We
congratulate the Governor upon his wise
lecision in the matter"
Let us sec whether the Dispatch is JUS
t fed in aligning Gov. Lowry with the
lnti-superyisionists Of raiways-for 80
sc understand the meaning Of It's ar
.icle.
In the veto message, the Governor
,ays: ave are pledged to the super.
vision Of corporations Of every descrip.
ton, within constitutional limits, in the
interest and for the protection OF the
people, and the time has come when this
ledge is TO be redeemed" He further
,iys: ut IA fortunate for the cause of rail
road supervision that these (objections)
nave been discovered this early while
there is yet time for their elimination,
md the passage Of another bill"
Which does our contemporary claim a.
the progressive and wide-awake element
Of our people? The supervisionists or the
friend, Of monopoly? Again, does the
Dispatch remember the plank put in the
platform on which Governor Lowry war
eectedi We give it to remind the
friends-exclusivc friends, of corpora
tons and monopolies-of the position OF
the Governor before the people.
Corporations of every description
upervisab' within constitutional limits
~ State authority, aud subordinate {,
State legislation, in the interest and foI
the protection OF the people"
Was there Democratic paper in the
State who did not 60 into the contest OF
is platform, and have any Of them de
serted it since? The monopolists ar
gaining ground on the people, perhaps
but the people are wide a,oake, as our
cotemp, rary says, and they are not t.
he deceived by pretended friends or enc.
mics in disguise. This contest is on,
that cannot be ignored or pretermitted
by public servants.

Give the Manufacturers a Chance,


From the Erie. Penn, Herald.
Skilled workmen ough, to be solidly in
favor Of putting raw materials on the free
list In many instances where duh trade and
declining prices have compelled manufac.
turers TO reduce wages the necessity of re-
duction would have been avoided if cheap
or raw materials could haze been procured.
Free trade therefore, not only encourages
American industry, but proteota American
labor.
The POOR manufacturers, who have had
protection in their infancy to enable
them to stand alone, and which has
lasted nearly or quite one hundred years,
and are still unable to stand alone, but
must have government protection at the
expense of the consumer, now come and
ask for free trade in the raw material SO
they can get 1t cheaper to enable them
to make more money. The rich must
be made richer and the poor poorer, 1t
will not do to let the poor get rich, they
will come in and divide spoils with the
rich miliionaires who now aspire TO rule
the government.

In nm interview in New York, Gen. Han.
cock said cotton planting in Mississippi
was a profitable but precarious business
It requires large capita! TO insure an!
degree II success. In case OF failure o
crops, or overflow, money must be had a
3hatevcr interest. He considered the prin
cipal drawbacks, overflow, the cotton worn
aud too much heat or cold In his trip h,
saw largo amount of cotton unpicked fol
lack of labor, Generally speaking, cotton
planting is good business.
Yes, it is good business, so good that
people plant too much of it. In the
Mississippi Delta more is made general
Iy than can be picked out. Even when
floods and the worm and cold weather
come, cotton is found in the fields in
February and March, Would the plan
tiers raise more corn, hogs, cattle and
mules than they do and plant less cotton
they would live more beautifully, be
more independent, and make more money,
but they will not do it. No planter can
make cotton with hired labor or on
shares at s and 10 cents, and buy mules,
corn, meat and other necessaries and pay
taxes, Last year we had floods and
drought'; this year begins with floods
and may end with droughts. Every
planter should husband his resources
this spring and summer. Sow oats,
make gardens and attend to the grass
crop.

THE National House of Representa-,
tives, on the 10Th inst, by large major.
ity, refused to scat Mr.. Manning on his
credentials pending his contest with
Gen. Chalmers, In doing so, the House
has departed from its invariable rule.
II Mr. Manning had filed the certificate
of election issued to him, his right to
occupy the seat, pending The contest,
could not have been questioned. This
action on his part, coupled with what
the Committee on Elections considered
to be their duty under the instructions
of the House to investigate the returns
on which the certificate was founded,
doubtless influenced the decision. The
case will come up for adjudication on
its merits, In other words-to deter
mine who is the lawfully elected mem.
Der from the Second District. Should
Mr., Manning be declared not entitled to
the seat, it does not follow that Gen.
Chalmers will be seated, 1t may be
revealed that his apparent majority was
vitiated by corrup, and illegal practices
in the election, and that the seat will be
declared vacant and new election or.
dered.

1t seems it is ii mistake to suppose
that Mrs. Mackay, the wife of the
millionaire, is always attired in the
marvels Of gowns which are described
IN the Paris papers. 1t is only on state
occasions that she displays anything
very elaborate. AT her own home,
the superb hotel in the Rue Tilsitt,
shei fond of wearing black, with Or
naments of black pearls, and at din
ner parties she is sometimes seen in
simple pale blue silk with an edging
of white crepe lisse at the throat and
ornaments Of turquoise. She seldom
wears diamonds, nor does her daugh-
ter, Miss Eva Mackay, who has an
nouncod her intention of marrying an
Americln-when the right American
comes alcng. Foreigners do not hest
tate to ask Mrs. Mackay in so many
words the amount of her daughters
fortune, and her invariable reply is:
"Miss Mackay will have no dot
whereupon they take speedy depar-
ture. Mrs. Mackay prefers to con-
tinue to reside abroad. Several years
ago she returned to San Francisco
with the full intention of remaining
but she found it out of the question.
AS for New York, she argues that iC
would be like beginning her life over
again to make her entrance there. In
Paris her relations are established and
secure, and she feels at home The

Here is a vivid little picture, says
the PAU Mall Gazette of what goes
on in Egypt in thename Of the govern
ment which we fought at Tel-el-Kebir
to save, and which at this moment
is absolutely dependent upon our
bayonets for its existence, The scene
is described by a Swiss, by name NJ,
lIilaire Gay, recently captain in the
Egyptian police, and the victim had
been guilty of some slight offence
against the prison regulations;
"The victim was placed on one of
the slabs with his clesk resting on the
stone, in which position he was held
by two of the eXecutioners. Two
others next raised his legs until his
feet were in a horizontal position, a
position in which they were
retained by means of cord
fastened to either end of stick. On
this the fifth torturer, who had taken
no part in thepreliminary proceedings,
came forward, holding in his hand u
sort of lash consisting of five strands
of twisted gut or hide The tormentor
raised his hand and struck with the
regularity of pendulum the upturned
feet of his helpless victim. At the
fourth stroke the Arab uttered cry
of pain, and at every fresh stroke the
cry was repeated. But soon the cry

her confirmation as Roman Catholic,
which was performed by the papal
Nuncio, was bracelet from which

however, she turns deaf ear. These

A letter from Arabia says: All the
bravest men steal their wives, but
there are some who do not. Their
moonlight highland a moonlight in
the tropics is far more beautiful than
here-you may see an Arab sitting be-
fore the tent of his inamOrata picking
a stringed instrument something like
our banjo and singing song of his
own composition. This is his court
ship. They are the most musical peo-
pie in the world. The courtship only
lasts a week or two. If the girl is OBJ
stinate he goes elsewhere and seeks to
win another girl by his songs and
music. Sometimes the fathers make
the match, but always the girl is the
obedent slave. Her religion, her peo-
pie, her national instincts, the tradi-
lions Of her ancestors, all teach her to
be the slave of her husband The
power of life and death is in his hands,
and she bows before his opinions with
the most implicit obedience. 1t is only
when the fair-faced Frank comes, with
his glib talk of woman's highest duties
and grander sphere, with his winning
manner, with his marked respect, so
tlattering to woman's soul, that she
leaves her husband, forsakes the teach
ings of her childhood, gives up home
and friends, and risks death itself to
repose in his arms.

of Lake Tanganyika a band of from
six to twenty is usually to DO found

man on slight provocatiOn, and are
feared by the natives more than the

is about four feet three inches, but the
shoulders are very broad, the arms and
thighs muscular and the entire frame
ample and massive The nest of the
sake is a structure Of broken bonghs in

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


In East Africa nearly every woman
wears the pelele. When she is little
girl a small hole is pierced through the
middle Of her upper lip, and into this
is pressed u small wooden pin to pre-
vent the puncture from closing up
After a time this is changed for a
larger PIN, and so on till the hole is big
enough to admit ring. In proportion
as the pelele is made gradually larger
so the lip enlarges also and comes to
look like Il snout An average speci-
men measures | ii inches in diameter
and almost an inch in length. When
she becomes widow fashion compels
her to take out her pelele, the lip falls
and the great round hole, called upper
e1e shows the teeth and jaw quite
plainly, making her hideous.

Of very curious construction, known
as Apostle locks" were also common
in medieval times. These locks had
on the front the figure of one of the
Apostles and on touching the hand of
the figure the bolts dew back. In tho
reign of Queen Elizabeth, enc Mark
Scalist, smith, constructed lock
consisting of eleven pieces of iron,
steel and brass, all of which, with u
pipe key, weighed only two grains
of gold, That great inventor, the
Marquis of Worcester, who nourished
in the reign of King Charles J., devils
ed lock containing a steel barb,
which was perfectly harmless so long
as the right key was used, but if u
wrong key were inserted the barb
sprang through the keyholo and
'caught the hand of the intruder az u
trap catches fox 1t is said that
while the inventor was experimenting
with this curious lock he was scarcely
nimble enough in removing his hand,
and was caught in his own trap. At
Willenhall, in Staffordshire, which is
great seat Of the lock trade, silver
padlocks, the sides Of which are much
smaller than three-penny piece are
still made and are quito perfect in
their mechanism. Lo-ks containing
signal bells and even chimes, which
sound an alarm when tempered with
by a false key, are among the modern
curlosities of the trade. Common
padlocks are largely made for the
natives of India and Africa at Walsall.
A lock and key complete are sold by
the maker at hallpenny, and mer-
chants abroad state that many of the
natives string these locks together, so
as to form necklets and wear them q
"charms. "-Little FOLKS.
