THERE is too much free-trade talk
about overproduction being the sole re-
suit of protective tariff. The present
circumstances of England prove as
much. If there is any foundation for
it, why is England just now suffering
more from overproduction than the
United States or any of the European
countries which adopt the protective
policy?

IT was discovered a short time ago
that the eminent mugwump, George
w. Curtis, had half-brother hidden
away in a government berth at a snug
salary. But the democrats smoked him
out, the other day, and gave his place
to one of the hungry but inoffensive
partisans. After little time the mug
wumps will cease to have much in
fluence with this administration.

THE " offensive craftsmanship" hypoc-

THE New York ETdminer says: "Sen-
ator ingalls, of Kansas has been making
a discovery. Like other western states
men, he has had positive opinions on
the Indian question; but they were not,
he has recently learned, according to
knowledge. 1t seems he has been Oh
visit to Indian Territory, and, to his
great surprise, has found that they are
making rapid advances in self-govern-
ment, and, so far from being the brutes in
human form they are so often pictured
in fervid western oratory, they are dis
playing some admirable virtues-such
as would adorn the most enlightened
community. Among the seventy thou
sand inhabitants he found no paupers,
no one supported at public expense
and no one lacking home. In addi-
ton to these rather remarkable indica-
tions of progress, he learned that there
are no laws for the collection of debts,
owing to the very creditable fact that
the standard of commercial honor is so
high that none are needed. AS a re-
suit of this visit, it is said, Senator
ingalls, has become warm advocate of
Indian civilization" General Crook,
the most noted of Indian fighters, has
declared that he has never known an
Indian war that was not caused by the
fault of the whites. They are gener-
ally caused by such wrongs as could not
fail to provoke resentment.

An amusing side show Of the present
international contest may be found, says
the New York Sun, in the attempted
change in phraseology among American
yachting men. Here we say the Puritan,
the Priscilla, the Genesta; but an English
man always says Puritan, Priscilla, Genes
ia, and the English newspaper reports
never use the participle. Certainly the
English seem to have logic on their side,
for their is no more sense in saying the
Priscilla or the Puritan than there would
be in speaking Of the Freeland or the

little best to speak in the orthodox English
fashion, but 50 far their efforts have been
anything but successful.

sensation is attached here to the Spanish
German difficulty by rumor giving Prince
Bismarck's reason for the seizure of the
Caroline Islands. This rumor attributes
to the chancellor determination to obtain
possession Of Cuba, and explains his con-
duct in taking the Carolinas as ruse to
secure an understanding between the
United States and Germany in regard to
outlying Spanish possessions, as a result
Of which Germany would permit the
United States to secure the Philippine
Islands if the Washington Government
would consent to Germany's annexation
of Cuba.

has been devised, are prepared as follows.
Have the bones evenly sawed about three
inches in length, 50 that they will stand

call it a dainty one.

10 the Editor Of the Herald ::

Having heard very unjust criti-
cism passed on the novelist "Ouida,"

sion to write little vindication Of
her writings, believing that she is
highly moral, and if it should reach
the eye of my opponent I trust she
will remember with leniency her
fellow tourist, A. G. T.
Among the many noyeiists of the
nineteenth century is one who has
been made the subject Of a great
deal of unjust criticism. She seems
to have brought down the censure
of, doubtless, a very learned and
moral, but bigoted people, until she
has been branded by the terms ex-
travagant, vulgar and even immoral.
And in this age Of free thought and
reason, as many are pleased to call
the period in which we are living,
are few who dare to openly express
their admiration for her works in
fear Of being considered of de-
PRAYED taste. I write of Louisa de

the general result of borough and county
elections on Saturday, but the exact posi-
ton of the parties will not be determined
until the drawing to close of the elections
early in December. Lord Salisbury will

passed it by without comment, while the
Conservative press critic lses it in sighting
manner. Mr.. Parnell in speech at Liver
pool to-day said he indorsed every word Of
the Irish manifesto. The Gladstone govern
ment, he said, were the authorities of the
coercion act, a measure that rendered life
and liberty unsafe, and at the moment OF
their downfall they were contemplating the
renewal of the worst clauses OF that act.
The Conservatives, on the other hand, had
partially restored liberty. Every 1rishman

Internal Revenue Returns.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The annual
report of the commissioner of internal rev.
enue shows that the total receipts from in
ternal revenue taxation for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1885. were S112. 421, 121, as
compared with S121, 500, 030 for the previous
year. 1t was estimated the receipts for the
last fiscal year would be about S115, 200, 900
and that they fell over $4,000, 900 short OF
the estimate, resulting from the seven
months extension allowed for the exporta-
ton of distilled spirits abroad, which. to
find market, will have to be reimported.
This, with more than ten million gallons
that had on June 80 last been in bond for
three years or longer under the seven
months extension, afforded ample margin for
assuming the receipts for the current fiscal
year would aggregate at least S115, 900, 600.
A table giving the receipts during the last
two fiscal years shows that there is de-
crease of SO, ,394, TT in collections on spr-
its, and an increase of S344. .6SS on tobacco.
an increase of S145. S37 on fermented liquor.
all increase of S24, 55S from banks and
bankers The total decrease was SO, 1858, 919.
The largest collections were made in Illinois,
amounting to S23, ,075, S65: Kentucky sec

with S13, S23, Gas; Ohio fourth. with S12.-

ter of the present fiscal year were s2s, ,670.-

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-''The danger of
obtaining, of keeping and of spending
riches" said Mr.. Beecher this morning. lis
one OF the most solemn and repeated OF the
eXhortations of the word of God. 1t is the
abuse OF riches that is denounced. They
are great power and a great blessing.
God made them so. The Bible dissuades
US not from obtaining them nor using them,
but from making them an idol, worshipping
and loving them. The procurement Of
riches has been found by experience so to
sacrifice the higher qualities of the soul, as
TO be almost inconsistent with morality and
certainly with spiritual life, but with God
all things are possible. By His help man
can go through fiery furnace of mammon

WORK OF RELIEF.
Plan Devised to substantially
Aid the Galveston Sufferers.

Special to the Globe.
GALVESTON. Tex, Nov. 22.-The past
week has been busy period for people of
Galveston. Such moving about of families,
hauling furniture and doubling up of tene-
ments was never before witnessed in Texas.
The citizens relief committee has worked
necessarily. Seven hundred and ninety
seven applicants have been passed upon
and S46, 900 applied, cut of total subscrip-
ton of S410,6S Thirty-fve insurance ad-
justers are adjusting losses as fast as posi-
BILE. Two hundred and ten thousand dol
lars has been paid by insurance
companies, and the adiusters expect
to pay S500,000 additional next
week. About one hundred and fifty unin-
sured householders in the burnt district
have taken steps toward organizing build
ing association. with view of borrowing
money with which to rebuild. Gen. John
NJ. Claiborne is father of the movement.
His idea is to inaugurate the movement
and apply to some money center for
$1,000, 900 for five years, at 5 per cent. in
terest, to be loaned solely on losses by fire
and not negotiated or borrowed through any
syndicate eXacting a toll. Gen. Claiborne
advocates the selection of committee, to
consist of prominent citizens, to ascertain
take money at per cent. and give proper
real estate security. the amount that
each desires. the character of security
offered, and all other information necessary
upon which to base negotiations for the
loan, this committee to also place the sure
ties in such shape as to make the invest
ment by capitalists absolutely safe. An
agent is then to be sent to some money
cent er for the purpose of making negotia-
tions. This work is to be solely in the in
terest of those who lost by the fire. 1t is
believed the money can be obtained in New
York and Boston. The statements made
by the Hon. Thomas P OchiItree yesterday
before the Philadelphia relief committee
are the subject of much comment here.

affliction is bad enough without Tom Ochil-

SpeCldI W luO oiooS'
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-The story
comes through diplomatic circles that the
Austrian government has decided to leave
the mission to the United States vacant and
that the Baron Won Schaeffer, who has been
minister here for SO many years, has been
placed upon the retired list. This is the
sequel to the Kelley incident. 1t shows
that the Austrian government is not content
to accept the snub which the administration
has attempted to put upon it. If the
United States mission to Vienna is to re-
main vacant because the Austrian govern
ment did not choose to accept Kelley, the
Austrian mission to the United States is
also to remain vacant. 1t is difficult
to see what the state department
has lgained by diplomacy of this
sort The Austrian government has re-
turned the snub to the United States in the
