Tbs tariff bill OF the Ways and Means
Committee is an attempt to give prsctlcSI
affect to the Tree trade theory that revenue
onpht to be raised without protecting
home industries, This measure is crude
hptit points strongly in that direction.
The suggestion was made by the secre'
tary Of the Treasury in his annual report.
"The preference OF the taxpayer, said
the Secretary, "ior duties upon articles
not produced in the United States is justi-
6ed by the fact that such duties cost him
No more than the Treasury Of his country
gets. As for duties affecting articles that
ave also produced in the United States,
the first to be safely discarded are those
upon materials used by our own manu-
iacturers,"
II is not necessary to explain that du-
ties on articles not produced in the United
states cannot be protective duties and are
laid for revenue only and for no other
purpose, This is tho iree trade plan,
which aims to raise whi!eitleaVes
"trade uuiettered," that is TO say, gives
foreign products and foreign labor the
same chance aa home products and home
labor.
The second proposition o! the Secretary
Of the Treasury which the Ways and
Means committee has sought to embody
in part Is free raw materials. Here 10
where free wool comes in. At first the
committee did not intend to put wool on
the iree list; but other attacked industries
were better organized than the wool'grow'
era, and the comnitte changedfront at the
eleventh hour.
The bill is about as bad rs anything
that has been thought Of, and it will not
receive the support Of ANYBODY who be-
lleyes in protecting home industries.

Thomas Axworthy, e1.City Treasurer Of
Cleveland, was at the Hotel Anderson last
night. When asked in regard 10 Cleye.
lands prospects for natural gas, he said /:
Cleveland is not suffering very much for
the want Of natural gas. Coal hasn't sold
as cheap for years in the lake ports as at
present, and our manufacturers can COM
pete with Pittsburgh at present rates,
when the extra cost Of getting the ore is
considered. A good many firms are put.
ting in apparatus for the manufacture Of
gas from coal slack. With that they can
make their own gas from the slack for 20
cents thousand feet, and that Is cheaper
than It can be piped from Plttsburgh."

1t was a mile and half course and a run
ming race, with dozen steeds fighting for
the blue ribbon. Ben Ais owner is Mr.. j.
B. Haggn, Californian. Because he was
a millionaire, he won S25, 900 on this race.
"Them that has gifts, the Bible says" re-
marked devout old lady, "All Kentucky
is dead broke" mournfully writes Louis
vile reporter.
1t was a race of 3-year-olds, and one of the
best ever run on the American turf. The
mile and a half was made by Ben Ali in
1861. This was half a second better than
the time made in 1879 which has stood as
the record ever since. Thus the record for
Swear olds has been lowered half IA second.
Ben Ali only won by the skin OF his teeth
Blue Wing, another famous colt, was only
half length behind.
Yet kentucky has one big consolation.
She was beaten with her own weapons. Ben
Ali is a Kentucky born and bred horse. lie
first opened his high-priced eyes on a farm
near Lexington, Ky, and gambolled on the
blue grass there till he was year old Then
some of the turfmen bought him for 81 500,
and they have been gambling over him ever
since The blue grass forever Probably
his owner would scarcely now take that
many thousands for him. Comparatively
few men earn so much money working at
days work in a lifetime
Ben Ali is a brown colt, and no great
beauty to look at.

The special presidents car of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad conveyed this year some
very distinguished visitors to Louisville
Among them was that jolly old boy, Gen.
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania. You see
him on the ri hit of the picture of "distin-
guished judges" On the left is Mr.. Leonard
Jerome, of New York. These two gentlemen
were among the judges of the Derby
Mr.. Cameron is well past 80 years old, but
he shows that he is still young by the lively

When the newspapers speak of Mr.. Leonard

Mr. jerome has that distinction. But really,
come to think, he is probably not to blame
because his daughter is a fool.
Well, with these two famous gentlemen
looking on, the horse Ben Ali won the race.

A NOTABLE CHARACTER.

One Of the queer characters of New York
is John Graham, the lawyer, who comes out
of obscurity to defend the alderman OF his
city from the charge of bribery. Grahams
makeup would appear to be intended solely
to attract atten ton, which is not the case,
though, for Graham is of n retiring disposi,
ton, and his strange clothes and other
freaks Of personal adornment are eccen-
tricities pure and simple.

FLoGolNG FOR WIFE BEArERs.

From Instantaneous Photograph
Delaware still retains the whipping post
and pillory. 1t is source Of great curiosity
to strangers, who, 1t is said, usually purchase
the cato mine tails after 1t has been used on
a culprit as a souvenir of their visit The
pillory is used for the perpetrators Of petty
offenses, and is an exceedingly humiliating
punishment to those submitted to 1t. For
some crimes 1t is said to have wholesome
effect on the offenders by advertising their
faces 30 they become afraid to attempt
the preparation of similar offenses again.

The whipping post is used for wife heaters
probably on the principle that like cures
like" or course there is strong diversity
of opinion even in Delaware to the value
Of retaining this old relic Of Eng ish criminal
law. The following letter from Frederick
Douglass, In answer to an inquiry put to him
regarding the advisability of fogging wife
heaters, will be Of interest in this connec-
ton:
DEAR SIR: II for any offensc in the world
q human being should be stripped to the
vast and dashed till his warm red blood
should stain the earth beneath, it Is the
offense of affecting his wife and the mother
of his children to that torture; but l am not
sure Of the wisdom of this sort of retaliation.
In resoring to fogging something more must
be thought of than the just punishment Of
the offender. We must consider the effect
upon the man thus punished and the man
who is required to administer the punish
ment, and If we succeed in whipping the
brute out of the one and at the same time
only whip the brute into the other little has
been gained to humanity and decency by
the operation. know of few things better
calculated to blunt and destroy all human
sensibilities than tearing the living flesh Of a
man with blood clotted cowskin. The man
who does it is untitled for all moral and
human influence, and diffuses brutality in
every breath. Sad indeed, it is for the
world if only by hogging can men be made
to refrain from beating their wives
Coming from a condition Of slavery as
have, where everything was done by the
whip, l have perhaps greater horror of
flogging than might otherwise have Be
this as it may, ] would try many other ex-
periments before l would resort to the
whipping post as remedy for wife beating

indicate my views on the point upon which
you have done me the honor to ask my

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE a few weeks since
offered to give, on certain conditions, $3.50, 900
to Pittsburg for the purchase of free library
Pittsburg protesting to be too poor to furnish
a building to hold the books, Mr. Carnegie
thereupon agreed to donate $3.50, 900 more to
supply that lack if the city would promise to
contribute $4,000 yearly thereafter for the
maintenance of the institution. This the city
fathers think they cannot afford to do, and the
rising generation is therefore to be deprived
of the educational benefits of library Be-
cause they cannot have books, however it
does not follow that the Pittsburgers are con-

money, and Mr. Carnegie is now being over

out his philanthropic purposes toward the
community. If he has $500, 900 to give away
plenty of people are ready to show him how to
do it. The general opinion seems to be that

public trust; that the tariff and import duties
