On his SEVENTEEN birthday the nation
paid him tribute of honor. The little
town of Odeuse was crowded with visitors.
A copy of his works in thirty-two Ian
guages was presented to him. Money
was contributed to erect his statue, and to
found home for poor children in his
name. 1t was very happy day for the
silver.haired old man, in whom the child
heart still beat.
Four months later, in the flush of Au-
gusts beauty he passed away from earth.
The day of his funeral every shop in
Copenhagen was shut, and the whole
town put on mourning. One of the most
touching incidents was that told by a by
stander, who saw poor woman lingering
in the church after the coffin had been car.

If high protective tariff is good for
the working man, it is strange that all
the strikes and labor troubles in the
United States, prevail in those districts
where the industries are protected.
Sometimes we have oyerproduction,
say of nails. As our tariff discriminates
against foreign iron, there is no foreign
market for our nails, and tho home
market becomes glutted, the supply is
greater than the demand, there 10 over
production. Then the manufacturers,
the capitalists, the monopolists, order a
reduction of the wages Of their en-
ployees, and tile latter strike. This
suspends the manufacture of nails for
awhile, and the price goeSup. In tho
meantime the strikers starve out and
have to go to work for wages fixed by
the manufacturers, who are the only
ones benefited by high protective
tariff on the one hand and by the strike
of their employees on the other. Am
erican industries need no protection.

trict Mr. Irion in place of Mr.. Lewis
These are all Democratic districts. In

Mr.. Boatner of Ouachita. worked the
State convention last winter in the in
terest of Gov. McEnery. He was then
opposed to boiling. Now his friends
being in the minority and not able to
control the congressional convention in
the fifth district against Dir. King, they
bolted and nominated Boatner anyhow.
Such 10 the Democracy of some people.
Political parties are machines manu-
featured by the politicians to get office,
and when the people undertake to run
the machine to suit themselves, the
politicians bolt and set up another ma

Should indianapolis Be Made a Differential
Point?

Yesterday the general passenger agents of In
dianapolis roads, or their representatives, met
at the Denison House to discuss the differential
rate question. The Decline was represented by
A. J. Smith, the Pennsylvania lines by H r.
Deering; the l., B. G. w. by H. M. Bronson; the
c., H. 6 I. by Sam Stevenson; the c., l., ST. L.
& G. by John Egan; the Wabash by E. G. Crane.
The remarks of the passenger men who We're
present demonstrated the fact that the Bee line
the Pennsylvania, and the c., l., st. L. & G.
people were of the opinion that indianapolis
should not be made differential point, while
thought the opposite, and as the l., B. & W. now
have possession of the differential rates they
have somewhat the advantage However, at
the meeting no illfeeling was shown, and it was
decided that the arguments pro and con should
be forwarded to the executive committee OF the
trunk-line passenger pool. for their considera-
ton. Mr.. Stevenson in his remarks said, how
ever, that if the differenta rate is continued to
the l., b. & w. the c., H. & /. would insist on
being allowed a different rate.
