A Queer Character.

Jesse Nelson. forty years ago. was a printer who lived in country town in eastern Kentucky. He had married a widow who had small farm. and Jesse had abandoned the ''black art. " He was the most shiftless and good natured human in the settlement and would work for any ybody but himself He would assist a neighbor in doing chores and leave his own undone. The wife was thrifty woman. who hal two or three hearty boys. the sons Of her first husband. and they titled the little farm. She would keep the cloth ing of the boys neatly patched when their Qarments needed such re-enforc- ing. but the old man steadily refused to ever allow her to patch his clothes. He would say. My dear madam, a rent in one's clothing may be the acci- dent of moment, but patch looks like premeditated poverty. and 1 won't have it.
 Nelson had much originality of ex pression. and one time when speaking of youth in the neighborhood who was tall gangling and bent for ward at the knees. backward al the hips. forward in the stomach and backward at the neck, and who had great head of hair the color of flax tow. Nel- son described him as looking like the foundation of a worm fence. and his head as if it had worn out seven bod ies s--ArkassaD Travssey.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The Kansas City Times says that MT. Elkins and Mir. Blaine are both we'll and unfavorably known.
 MT. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, put it neatly in the House when he said the promise of the Republicans to give sugar bounties is "as purely illusory as were the offers made on the Mount of Temptation
 The Providence Journal, Republi- can sheet, says that the West is not for Blaine. but the question is whether the delegates will have the courage and stamina to stand up against the tide in the convention
 Senator Ingalls, is the president pro tenn. of the Federal Senate. If his services in that position have been sat isfactory to the Republicans, they should nominate him for Vice Presl- dent as a matter of right. But will they? inquiries the Utica Observer.
 Some enterprising gentleman in the West, says the New York Graphic, is hunting up MT. Ingalls, war record. Although we have no absolute knowl- edye of the matter, we venture the opinion that it will not be great way ahead of the records of either Hancock or Mcclellan.
 The issue between the two parties in the coming campaign is thus succinctly stated by the Baker City Oil Drive aThe Democrats are in favor of cutting down the taxes to meet the expendi' tnre of the government, economically Administered, while the Republicans favor increasing the expenditure in order to eat up the present high taxes You may turn the matter in any shape YOU wish, but that is what it comes tc in the end

 Years ago, on boat on the North river. the pilot gave very sharp ring to the bell for the boat to slow up. The engineer attended to the machinery and then he came up with some alarm on deck to see what was the matter. He saw 1t was moonlight night and tbere were no ubstseies in the Ahy. flo went tc the pilot and said "why did rou ring the bell In that wayi Why do you want to stopi There is nothing the matter" And Inc p!lo. said 10 him: "There is mist gathering on the river; don't you see thatf And there Is night gath ering darker and darker, and can't see the way.n Then the engineer looking around and seen it was bright moonlight looked Into the face of the pilot and saw that he was dying. and then that he was dead. God grant when our last moment comes we may be found st our poet doing our whole duty; and when the mlsis of the liver of death gather on our eyelids may the good Pilot take the wheel from our hands and guide us into the calm hsrbor of eternal rest

Boys and Trades.

The other day th.ee Chicago news boys were arrested at their own request and brought before Justice, to whom they said they wanted to be sent to the Bridewell. Asked why. the spokesman of the trio said:
 Well, yer see. went out dare in der winter time. De coppers pinched me for cracking dago stand. Dey showed me how to make chairs an' dey gave mo better grub dan can get here. l was let go an ddn get tru learnin' de trade, an 1 want Ter go back so l can make livn' some way besides shinin' Of sellin' papers. Desc yer fellers wants ter learn do trade, too. so dats why we wants ter go out"
 Tho Justice was kind enough to fine the boys s5 each. and out to the Bride- we'll they went
 The desire of these boys to learn a trade. and tho impossibility of their getting chance to learn one. unless they went to prision. form subject which the trade unions of the country might discuss. perhaps with profit to themselves and the boys. We know very well that there are many thou sands of bright enterprising. industri- ous American boys, ready and anxious to learn trade. but debarred from so doing by trade-union rules. which limit the number of apprentices to a small percentage of the number of journey men employed in shop. Where the future supply of mechanics is to come from. unless from Europe or Asia. and what Is to become of the American boy. with the professional and light-labor market glutted. and the workshops closed to him, are questions which we often hear asked by citizens who do not happen to be members of trade- unions. We believe that three-fourths of the hostile sentiment encountered by trade-unions when they find it neces- sary to enter upon fight fortwhat they deem their rights. is due 10 line rules they have made about non-employment of boys. If leading trsde-union men were in position 10 hear the com. ment thus called forth. they would probably be astounded at its frequency and bitterness. and cast about with more earnestness 10 find some way of pre- venting such scenes as that one in the Chicago Justices Court.

A Free People.

Senator Fairchild could hardly have said better thing than he did say to the Brooklyn democratic club. It was: "The question involved tin tariff re- form is not free trade, but free gov ernment and free people,"
 MT. Carlisle could hardly have closed the tariff debate better than he did when he described the progress of the country during the low tariff period between lS47 and 1861.
 Drawing the distinction between manufactures as they stand now, largely controlled by monopolies which limit production and keep down in ventions, it is apparent that the country's manufacturing interests would develop faster under moderate tariff than under one so high that it Is in many ways prohibitive. As MT. Carlisle said, the manufacturing states would, if the Mills bill is passed, be coming up solidly in few years asking for still greater reduction of duties.
 The fundamental error nursed by the monopolists is that the manufacturing progress is due to the war tariff. If that error can be exploded the cause of tariff reform is then won. The fallacy that the rate of wages depends upon the tariff falls to the ground with the other. They are mutually dependent. The facts about the relative advance in manufactures and other interests during the two periods the low tariff decade between 1850 and 1860 and the high tariff decade between 1870 and 1SS0-are therefore better than volumes of theories and figures not so readily applied and un- derstood.
 Speaker Carlisle's speech shows the was the period of greatest prosperity, and that the manufacturers enjoyed as much of it's healthy benefits as the farming interests.
 Government freed from the blighting influence of monopolies and class leg slation. A people freed from the ex- cessive burdens imposed by tariffs con structed by specially favored combi- nation of few men who accumulate huge fortunes. Mir. Scott showed that the Edgar Thompson steel works, where there was recently strike, pay profit of 5000 900 a year. One mem Der of the firm admitted drawing out in one year profit of S1 100000. The average cash income of the Kansas farmer, is not, at best, more than S300 a year. This steel manufacturer draws out profit in cash equal to the earn ngs of 5000 hard working tillers of the soil. In sense, 1000 farmers are his slaves, for he and his combination are able to dictate the price of railroad steel and many other instruments, inn plements and materials which the farmers have to pay for sooner or later. Why can not the Edgar Thompson steel works proprietors give up a little of their enormous profits for the benefit of the class which pays most of the taxes and does most of the workY
 A free people under tariff arranged for the general good will show what real progress in wealth is as they started to do between 1850 and 1860.

How He Beat the Bank.

"Did you ever see any person beat this game of rouletteP'
 "Yes, and it is hard game to beat It was in Tom Hayer's on the Bowery. one Saturday night in July. 1888 l dropped in on my way downtown to the hotel about l2 O clock at night. Big Tom was at the wheel himself and he was pulling in the shekels by the dozen. A "boss" carpenter coming from the bank early in Inc afternoon with over $400 to pay his men dropped in and thought he would take few hacks at the wheel. He did so to his sorrow. He played roulette until mid night dropping every cent of his money.
 After losing that amount he asked the pugilist. who was packing up his money preparatory to clos ng, to loan him $5. Hyer refused to do tn and tied the money mp in bag.
 '.As he did so he took hold of the bag in his right and held it out straight from his body. I'll bet no man here can hold out this bag for two minutes, he said.
 The carpenter immediately took the bet and said, I Will not only do that, but will walk to the door and back three times before let it down.
 There was over $l. 100 in silver and gold in the bag. Heyer accepted the proposition. and the carpenter took up the bag. He went to the door and back. and when he got to the door the second time it was open and he ran of. Hyer ran after him. but the Bowery was crowded and the bag and the man were lost to sight.
 With the great excitement that Hyer caused a policeman came running up. and the house was immediately locked up and no information of the affair whatever given to the bluecoat as it would be the means of breaking up the gambling. Hyer never saw the carpenter or money afterward."
