CRaRl.Hs READE.

With the death Of CHARLES READE,
whose decease 10 announced by the
cable, the world loses . practical re-
former as well as an entertaining novel
ist. Perhaps no writer of fiction ever
used his talent In that direction more
effectively to correct abuses and i'm
prove the social conditions Of his time
than the author Of "Hard Cash, +"
"Put Yourself in His Place." "Never
Too Lata.to Mend" and the half score
of other clever novels that now consti.
tute his literary remains. DICKENS
wrought at times in the same direc-
ton, but his labors as q reformer were
sn incident rather than purpose in
his career. With READE the motive
of the story was in most cases the de-
struction Of sham or the breaking
down of an abuse which intrenehed in
customs and presidents defed mere
argument.
Prison mismanagement, the misuse
Of private insane asylums, and the
abuses of trades-unionism were some OF
the evils which he did most to eradi-
cate in England, aud the sketches In
which they were depicted did much to
build up healthy sentiment on these
subjects the world over. He had the
courage Of his convictions and perth
uacity which no obstacles could battle.
In looking up the case Of an insane man,
alleged to have been killed by the keep
ers Of an asylum, he once offered $500
for proof hat the death was caused by
az attendant jumping upon and break
ing the patients breast bone. The
newspapers dreading libel suits declined
to publish READE's offer as an advertise
ment. He printed it in hand bills and
distributed them throughout the King
dom, and the attendant was subse-
quently convicted Of the crime named
and is now serving out a sentence fol
it in an English prison.
To q strong purpose he joined the
gift of crisp, vigorous style, inventive
powers Of a high order and an magma
ton which was never suffered to range
beyond the bounds of possibility. Hi:
books will hold prominent place in
English literature, as bright, healthfulr
Dgenious and entertaining stories, and
heir good moral effect will remain long
ter the incidents mentioned in them
| are forgotten.

TIE COLOREp CONGRESSMAN

The Presidents dinners now are done,
And over all the bother;
he dlned and wined 'em every one,
But not the colored brother.
He took the Congressman In turns
There's nothing could be fatrer-
But the one whose turn came not at all
Was Congressman OHAra.
In calling on the President
OF course his rights were stable;
He'd shake with "Chet," but couldn't get
His legs beneath aChets" table.
II, scenting out the dinners fumes,
He pinned for pork and "tater."
His only living chance would be
To ring In Is q waiter.
Or, crowded OF upon that track.
The next most likely swttch1n'
To HE him round in humber gutse
And chance it. the kitchen,
Which shows that black Is hardly yet
The color OF the winner,
Since good Republicans stin draw
The colored line ut dinner.

SATURDAY. JULY 5, 1884.

Throughout the numerous debates
that have sprung up in the Senate on
the subject of the tariff and other
forms of taxation Mr.. Bayard, says
the Baltimore Day, has always held
to the view that tariff legislation was
an exercise of the taxing power of
the government and could only he
exercised with view to the raising
of the necessary revenue; but he has
never objected to any resultant ad.
vantage to American manufacturers
in the way Of protection" as it is
called, provided the protection be
clearly the incident and not the real
object of the bill. He has for years,
ever since it became evident that
more revenue than was needed was
raised by the tariff, or that many du-
ties were laid not with view to Sc,
curing a revenue from importations,
but rather for the purpose of prohib
iting the importation of certain man
ufactures, been strenuous advo
cate of tariff reform and practica
worker to that end. In his gren
speech in the Senate in July, 1882
on the bill to reduce internal reve
nue. taxation, he quoted the late Pres
ident Garfeld's comprehensive ds6ni
milton of industry, which included
agriculture, commerce and transport
tation by land or sea amongst the in
dustries to be considered in forming ,
system Of taxation, with approval
and declared against any system
which protected" one of these indus
tries at the axpense of the others
The present tariff, he declared, afford
ed no such equal protection, but hac
become system for Substituting pow
erful interests at the expense of tn,
many. "Who," he asked, "has thu
far obtained the tavors of protection
in the history of this country? Ha
1t been the weak or the strong? Pro
lection carries in its very name tn,
suggestions of weakness to be protec
ted, but we have seen in the histor,
of tariff legislation that the stronges
lobby and the most powerful interest
have been the most successful in ob
tanning protection. have neve
known subsidy beggar who was no
millionaire" $50 1 say We hav
come to this pass in this country
that the protection is not to tn
weak--the protection is to tn
strong, and 10 him who grows stron,
by what he feeds upon, which is tn,
unequal and unjust exercise of tn
great power Of public taxation"
