RICE AND WOOL.

Iffree wool would be good for the American
woolsrower, why would not free rice be good
for the American nce-grower2- latelliosResT.
Wool growers depend on the wooden
manufacturing industry for their pros
perity, which in turn depends on an IN
taxed raw material and . consequent
cheaper product for its prosperity. Rice,
On the contrary, is all ready to be dumped
into the pot and boiled and eaten. This
is the argument that would apply to the
case were wool and rice on an equal foot
ing with regard to foreign competition.
Bnt they are not, although the MILLS bill
makes no distinction between the two, ex-
eept that il reduces the protection ON rice
more than it does the protection on wool.
"harA is no difference between the average

The IateligeHeer Of yesterday stated that
the majority of Prohibition votes come
from the Republican party. The follow

Democrat of July 4th, 1888, the leading
Republican paper west of the Mississippi
river, evidently thinks differ emily:
I'VE trust that our Prohibition friends
in Missouri will make better showing in
the present canvass than they did four
years sgo. They gave only 2,05S votes to
st. John. They should make the total

THE difference between the Republican
demand for the repeal of the whisky tax
and the Prohibition demand for the same
thing is just the difference between free
whisky and no whisky. A business that
the Government taxes isunder the Govern
ment's protection. The Prohibitionists
want to outlaw the whisky business and
prohibit it. The Republicans want to do
precisely the opposite of this Their sole
aim is to make whisky 20 cents q gallon.

Trying to Reform the World.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton recently told story about the way in which she began her work of reforming the world. When she was girl of 10 or 12, she used to see her father, Judge Cady, administering law from the bench. She noticed that the judge, in laying down the law or giving his decision, always referred to his law books for guidance.
 She set to work in his library reading these books, and as she thought he could not say anything but what he found there, she care fully tore out and burned those pages that contained principles of decisions of which she disapproved. How could he, while on the bench during a trial, make application of anything not to be seen in the books by which he was guided? She discovered a great deal that was offensive in every law book that she inspected in his library. Out came the pages, which she cast into the fire until the book suited her, and she felt sure that her father would be compelled to confine himself to such law as she left. She kept on at this work for long while, until she was caught at it; but by that tine great part of Judge Cady's law library had been spoiled in her efforts to reform the worid.-New York Sun.

HE LIKES EGGS.

Detective Frank Taylor Gets Away With Fifteen
 Detective Frank Taylor,o of Bridgeport man of short statue and one well known about town sat down to his supper last night with an enormous appetite. Frank likes eggs especially when he feels hungry. Accordingly when he seated himself at the table of his boarding place last evening he called for eggs. The waiter brought what he thought would make an ordinary meal, but he was soon called again to bring an other supply. The waiter thought nothing of this as Frank is always in the habit of calling for the second round. But when he yelled out the third time for more eggs the waiter became astonished and felt dizzy. He, however, said nothing and again supplied MT Taylor This supply followed it's predecessors, but still Frank sung out for more. They were brought, the waiter meanwhile gasping with terror. Finally after the genial detective had swal lowed 15 of the shelly fruit, he expressed himself satisfied, lighted a fragrant Figaro and sauntered out to hear the little birds tWitter

international Identity Cards"

The police authorities of Vienna for some time past have, on application, issued so called international identity cards" con- sisting of photograph, on which brief personal description of the owner is written in three languages German, French and English), and to which an official certificate and seal is attached in such way as to pre- vent the possibility of the exchange of the carte de visite photograph. The card is kept ill small leather cover, can therefore easily be carried, and for purposes of identification is fully as useful and even more convenient to travellers than a passport. This same idea was used in issuing press tickets to our Gen. tennial Exhibition in 1876 Each press ticket bore the photograph of the editor or reporter who presented it, and this precau- tlon prevented ''passesn from being trans- ferred.-Home Journal

A SECOND THOUGHT.

It is so long since thou vast lost to view,
 Through the dim shadow valley gone before, That with grief's wonted bangs there throba
 once more.
 The dread that my lone heart, however true As years take all-may lose thy likeness, too The ungraven image it can still adore.
 Vain dread! for calming time will but restore Those visioned love-limned lineaments anew,- As in a lake the mirrored moon may show Inconstant, dinmed by every blurring breeze, But pure and rounded when the ripples cease,- In my souls sleep shall thy reflection grow From wavering gli1npses perfect by degrees. As sorrows surge subsidies to waveless peace.

LOUIS J 0m0S In seOth6llOe
 It is sometimes said that Louis James is even grander than the eminent tragedian Mccullough, whose place he expects to take on the American stage. James has everything in his favor, talent, culture, handsome face and magnificent physique, and above all rich deep voice, of which he has at times spendid control. His ac complished wife, Miss Marie Wainwright, ably seconds and shares the honors with him. They will be seen at the opera house in 'sOthello" this evening.
 "He1d by the Enemy.''
 t'The excellent presentation of William Gillette's American drama, Held by the Enemy,'" which will be given at the opera house Saturday afternoon and evening, says the Boston Globe, recalled to many Boston resident the days of the great struggle between the North and the South and the thrilling incidents of those days of war. The author is to be con gratulated on the fact that in dealing with the stirring events of tho war of the rebellion he has so skillfully interwoven them and so equally divided the honors between the blue and the grey that whether in New Orleans or Boston the play meets hearty reception. The com pany that presents this stirring drama is strong and evenly balanced one, faithful in every detail to it's correct representation and equal to it's demands"
 ssTwo old Cronies.'
 The musical comedy "Two Old Cronies'' will be presented at the opera house Mon day evening by Frank M. Wills, John E. Henshaw, Miss May Ten Broeck.

Wills, Henshaw and Ten Broeck, with their excellent company, were at their best, and for nearly three hours kept up the contin- uous laugh"

Music a Modern Science.

Music is modern science, the complete scale, as we have it. being an invention of strictly modern times. Ancient nations en- ployed only the pentatonic scale, or scale having five notes, to wit-one, two, three, i've and six, and in the Orient today the pen tatonic scale is the only one known in their music. The Arabians, it is true, employ a scale somewhat different, having quarter tones instead of half tones like our own, some of the Arabian instruments being tuned to quarter tunes in such way that music adapted to them cannot be played upon a European instrument of any kind, or even sung by European without giving the Oriental the impression that the tune is false.
