The guard of the mail-train running
from Rome to Naples Dec. q was
making his round as usual on the foot
boards on the sides of the cars when he
was asked by Prince Brancacia, a pas
senger, for light. The guard struck
a match. but the draught blew it out.
He went on trying one match after
another. all with the same unsatisfacto-
ry result. He got excited, and instead
of handing the matches to the Prince
TO light them inside of the wagon the
guard obstinately insisted upon con-
quering the outside draught. The train
neared bridge with very narrow rail-
ings, and before the guard was aware
of the danger he was crushed between
the railing and the car. The Prince
tainted. He afterward made the widow
of the poor guard a present of $4,000.

says that those who are known rs mug
wumps in that State will not renew in
1888 that support which they gave to
Cleveland in 1891; for" he says.
"while we are tariff reformers, we are
also Civil Service reformers. and are of
opinion that Civil-Service reform is the
more necessary" Mr. Foulke is the
gentleman who directed the investiga-
ton which disclosed the frauds and
cruelties of the Democratic manage
ment of the Indiana Hospital for the
Insane. He also was easily leader of
the Republican party in the State Sen
ate in 1888, and AGAIN in 1885, though
it was known that he did rot vote for
Blaine. 1t is to be said that he did not
vote for Cleveland or for st. John,
either. He supported the State Re
publican ticket and was politically dead
as to the National issue. Mr.. Foulke
is so thoroughly representative of that
body of dissidents which stood aloof
from Blaine. while preferring the Re-
publican to the Democratic party. that
his utteranee may be taken as
prophetic OF the return of the 5000

Why Tariff Tinkering Is Bound to IDJure
the Working Classes.

With the tariff on steel rails at the
present figure foreign manufacturers
are able to enter the American market
and lay down their products. after
adding ocean transportation and Gus
toms charges, at a price which leaves
only narrow margin Of profit to the
home manufacturer who meets it. In
other words, the rail-makers of Amer

at hand. find it no easy matter, even
with the aid of n duty OF seventeen
dollars per ton, to compete with mills
whose product. must be freighted a
distance of three thousand miles, and
then pay an import tax. Take away
any part of this import tax, and you
leave the American manufacturer but
one alternative-either to close down
his works aud leave his costly plant to
rust in idleness an6 his workmen and
their families to starve, or else reduce
the cost of production by reducing
wages. That is what it comes to at
last The American working-man must
stand the brunt of the Democratic
policy of wholesale cutting-down of

baltimore me ohio Net Earnings.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.--At a meeting of
the Baltimore and Ohio stockholders the
president submitted the sixty-second an
nual report,fo r the year ending Sept. 80,
1889, which showed total earnings for
thewyear to be SEQ. 1853, 49a. 81, and the
total expenses SD, 2l3, 008. 90, leaving net
earnings Of 81, 141, 462. o.. After adding
income from other sources and deduct
ing the earnings from the Washington
branch there was q total net income of
81 ,04S,39S.5 81. There is some whisper
ing going on about the change in the
presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, at the annual meeting to be
held Monday, at which time q board Of
directors will be elected for the ensuing
year. The president win be chosen by
the directors about q month later, and
there Is q movement on foot to place
United States Senator "A. H German at
the head Of the company This very
thing was mooted a year ago, and when
Mr. Samuel Spencer was. promoted to
the presidency, a very close friend of
Robert Garrett asserted that the new
management was only temporary. The
board of directors number twenty-three.
OF these sever representa- the stock held by
Baltimore and four that by the state Of
Maryland. These eleven members would
certainly vote for German for president
of the Baltimore and Ohio, and he would
need but one more vote to elect him.
The relations between Garrett and Sena-
tor German have always been intimate,
and it is claimed by those in the secret
that Garrett will use his influence in
Germans behalf. Bat even If this
should fail the director who represents
the holdings OF the Johns Hopkins uni
yersity can, it is believed, be controlled
80 as to give the senate the deciding
