THE CHICAGO WAY.

1t is perhaps the privilege of every
city and town or hamlet to have its own
peculiar way of doing things. This
way is sometimes bad and often good.
An opinion is formed about most mat
tiers from relative circumstances. But
there can scarcely be two ways of look
ing at an incident in which two police
officers took part in Chicago the other
day.
A man by the name of JOHNSON took
a butcher knife last week and plunged
it twice into the neck of his aged
mOther-a place where it did not be-
long, obviously enough. This, it
seems, JOHNSON was not long in per-
ceiving, and being a tender-hearted
fellow, and seeing that he had done
foolish act, went out into the
wOodshed and hanged himself. Through
some extraordinary concentration of
events difficult to understand. because
entirely without example in police an
nails, the officers of the law got wind of
the affair and several of them eventu-
ally app cared on the scene of the trag-
edy. Finding no mischief for their idle
hands to do about the dying woman,
they went into the woOdshed and, cut
ting Mr.. JOHNSON down, restored him
to life and to society, of which lie was
so brilliant an ornament. Their pur-
pose is not explained in the dispatch,
nor is it easily eonjectIred. The man
was comfortably hanged already. with
out costing the city cent. Why restore
him to life for the purpose of hanging
him over again at the public cost of
many thousand dollars? These are per-
tinent inquiries which we have no
doubt the inconsiderate police, who
committed the act of folly in question,
would find it difficult to give a logical
answer to.
The man Should have been left to
hang il peace. 1t was inconsiderate to
interfere with Naturalization of princi-
pies of practical economy, and will put
the city of Chicago to useless expense
and Inconvenience.

BRITISH FREE TRADERS.

1t is not susceptible of denial that
nearly every public man of any emf
nence in this country, including GRANT,
GARFIELD, ARTHUR, BLAINE, ALLISON
and SHERMAN are British free traders.
That is, they are British free traders
if the Republican argument be true.
that all persons in favor, or who have
advocated a revision of tariff taxes are
entitled to that epithet. For everyone
of these men has repeatedly avowed
himself in favor of a modification of
the tariff in the direction taken by the
MILLS bill. General HARRISON says
that it is the direction and not the
length of the step taken that makes
the OffenSiyeness of this measure.
What will he now say of the senate tariff
bill? That is also a step, and a pretty
long one, too, for it proposes to cut off
S70,000.000 of revenue. as was shown
in the GLOBES Washington dispatches
of yesterday. Having taken this long
step, according to the logic of Gen.
HARRISON, all the Republican senators
are British free traders.
If the ARTHUR commission of 1883
had sub mitted the MILLS bill as reduc-
ing to detail the principles upon which
their report was based, it would have
been acceptable to everybody, barring
the placing of wool. salt and lumber on
the free list, as fair translation of the
report into the form of project of law.
But no 'protectiOnist" has ever de-
nounced the ARTHUR commission as a
gang of British free traders. In now
remains to be seen whether they will
characterize with that term of opprobri-
um the senate Incubation.

NEW USE FOR THE SHAWL.
A Novel Idea That Surprised
LOungers at Saratoga Hotel.

Loungers at Saratoga Hotel.
Letter to Albany Argus.
While sitting upon the side piazza of
the United States hotel few days
ago, watching and admiring the many
costly and beautiful carriages that were
rolling along Broadway, my at
tention was called to little
side performance that was truly
interesting. The gentleman of
color who stands at the entrance of the
United States hotel to attend to the car
riage doors and the wants of the old
folks and young folks who pass in and
out of them had his accustomed position
close beside the curbstone. He was
dressed faultlessly for one of his posi-
ton, and his high standing white collar
was close fit under the chin.
This important Individual carried, be-
side bit of wicker work, which. when
applied to a carriage wheel, acts as
mud or dust protector and saves many
dress from ruination, black shawl.
This shawl was tossed over his left
arm, and there it remained until
an equipage, containing a very
charmingly attired young lady,
the daughter, no doubt, of man of
great wealth, put in an appearance. She
motioned that she wanted the shawl
brought into use. The colored man,
quick as wink, sprang to the front of
the carriage, when, to my utter surprise
and that of twenty or more bystanders,
he held up the shawl shoulder
high until the lady of fashion
had alighted. If she had pretty foot
or delicate ankle no one was the wiser,
because that black shawl served as
Japanese screen would have done. The
shawl act is new, but many of the girls
who visit Saratoga have tried it and
like it.

TO SURPRISE HIS GIRL.
Instead, However. Young Mr..
PoOts Was Very Much Surprised
Himself

Texas Slftings.
The young man Poots went to see his
sweetheart on Austin avenue the other
evening, and, being quite at home with
the family, thought he would just slip
into the parlor unperceiyed and hide be-
hindthe sofa, just to give her little sur
prise as she came in to light the gas, for
it was early twilight.
He hadn't been in his place of con-
cealment but few minutes when there
was ring at the outer door, and mo-
ment later his hearts delight ushered
another young man into the darkened
parlor. the young lady not seeming to
think illumination necessary quite yet.
They sat down OH the sofa together,
and the young lady said: "Oh, George,
/ am so glad it is you. When the bell
rang / was almost sure it was that
dreadful bore, POots."
Poots silently gritted his teeth behind
the sofa.

man, slipping his arm around her waist,
"who is this fellow PootS?"

lie stayed and stayed, and they kept
billing and cooling until after midnight.
Poots' position was very uncomfortable,
squatting behind the sofa, and the love
making that was going on did not add
to his ease. There is no knowing how
long the entertainment would have
lasted had not the young lady's father
come down stairs in his dressing gown
and slippers and dissolved the parlia-
ment.
When they were gone, and all was
still, young Poots tried to tiptoe out,
but he stumbled over a chair and made
such racket as to alarm the house. The
head of the house yelled police"
from the upper window, and Poots
managed to get into the cellar. from
which he escaped by crawling up
through the coal chute in the back yard
and climbing an alley fence. He
doesn't call on that girl any more.

1,4l2 strikes, with 1888 establishments

that these strikes were forced by labor
organizations, and not invited by COM

true in a given sepse, the statistics of
''lock-outs" of labor by combinations of
corporations are valuable commentary

Merriam elected, but because thev do not de-
sire the defeat of the remainder of the ticket.

Laughter of Recent Origin.

Because man is the only only animal
that can laugh, we would naturally con-

such is not the case. At least. laughter,
as our expression of merriment or
pleasure, has only been in vogue
for a short time as compared with
the age of the race. The Puri-
tans and Quakers who came to this
country couple of hundred years ago
held it to be misdemeanor to laugh
boisterously or heartily, and even to
this day their descendants regard laugh
ing as being INDIGENOUS, If not actually
unbec0ming to Christian.

extensive covering of ''shOrt'' contracts
reported few days since, and which
followed the recognition of the fact that
one man had entire control of the Chi
cago market for September contracts,
and the enormous sales made to realize
profits before the market should react
from the artificial advance caused by
the September corner, would be fol-
lowed by period of weakness in the
markets until prices should be read
justed to a parity with values on the
seaboard. But the craze to buy wheat
is as wild as ever, and the markets East
and West are rapidly advancing without
regard to export trade conditions or to
the existing disproportiOns between
quotations in the various markets.
