How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the inherent
strength Of the body suffices to enable
it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces to such an extent that there is
little or no help. In other cases
little aid to the weakened Lungs will
make all the difference between sud
den death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms OF a
Cough, Cold or any trouble OF the
Throat or Lungs, give that old and
well known remedy-Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands say oft to be,
the ''benefactor of any home.

economy OF time has forced the ebb and
i1ow of travel through the former to the
virtual disase of the Inter. 1t has been
said however, and with great truth, that
the great trunk lines of this country fol-
low the courses of the principal streams,
and it may not be unfair to assume that
in the steady march of Improvement the
public landings may once more be
crowded with bustling humanity and the
"impedimenta" of commerce.
The above illustration is fair view of
the public landing in Cincinnati of
the ante-b ellum period. The majestic
bow of many a commodlous packet is
thrust agtnn the bank. Volumes of
smoke bclch forth from aspiring stacks
and the frequent blows of whistles an
nonnoe tie arrival or departure of
floating palace freighted with passengers
and merchandise.
The banks present q busy scene.
Loaded carts and bales of cotton, black
muleteers with cracking whips and stem
torous voices robust negress1s in clean
white aprons and gaudy bandannas, trav
elers in haste to or from the wharves,
and now and then a petite blonde, with
such a form, sunny hair and laughing
blue eyes, tripping along, whose
''Feet beneath her pstticoat
Like little mice stole in and out
As though they feared the light"
But what change a quarter of cen
fury has wrought. The evidences of u
prosperous commerce gave way to the
stern realities of war. The loaded wagons
and bales of cotton were replaced by the
laundering caisson and horrid wars
munitions; the tripping of tiny feet to
the measured tread of the Sons of Mars
in the accoutrements of the tented
ground and battle field; the beast of bur
den to the mettled steed whose nostrils
scented Che smoke Of battle from
afar
Tho return of peace has not been fol-
lowed by the resuscitation of the old
river commerce. The continent has been
covered with q nat work of railways, and
a the solitary packet, with its freight re-
duced, slowly ploughs up or down the

bauer an agnostic an infidel and an
atheist. But he never lied about his
crime. ~ most Of the goodv -goody murder
ers do. and he did not pretend to die in
the hope of "a blessed immortality. "
However much we must pity the man who
regards this life as the beginning and end
Of things for himself, ii is more manly Ia
tell the truth than it is to lie and pretend.
Whether Riedcl was an atheist or an ag-
nostic. or neither. simply because he was
the victim Of disordered brain. does not
now matter. The autopsy c0nclusively
proved that however lax the Delaware
authorities may be in dealing with brutal
murdeTers TO the manner born thev at
last summoned courage enough TO hang a
man who wanted to die, but whose brain
was not in the condition to enable him to
form a responsible Judgment
Riedel claimed 60 have received the
bullet found in his brain in the Franco
prussian war. If that be true then Riedel
was insane when he killed his wife and
child and attempted to kill himself. The
doctors declared Mt the time that the bull

not enter the skull, but was detected.
leaving only a scalp wound. An inteli-
gent surgeon could not be easily deceived
about that. 1t was the general Impression
that Riodel was insane after the crime
had been committed. Admit that this i'm
preston was well grounded, and it would
appear probable that he was insane when
executed, and that cannot be justified on
any pretence whatever, unlessit be on that
of the absence Of any provision in that
state for such persons. We suppose that
TO have been the real reason why the au-
thorities did not reprieye Riedel But
there is no state so poor as not to be able
TO provide asylums for the criminal in

any insane person should be executed.
Even if sane when the crime was pcrpe-
trated, if condemned person afterwards
becomes insane, the law should halt until
sanity returns IL Is shocking to think
that it should be otherwise. PHILADELPHIA

TARIFF TALk.

The determined opposition in New
Jersey to the Mills bill snd free trade i.
nowhere more marked in that state thar
in and around Orange, where the hat
manufacturing interests give employ
mcnt to from 3. 900 to 5000 men The
sentiment rs to the Mills bill il one Of
strong condemnation. Although free

manufacturer lit will make IL worse for

the same price hero as abroad then
! everything that goes into the manufacture
of the material must be cheaper. and
labor is the thing that enters mainly into
the manufacture. So long as wages are
higher here than abroad hats must be
higher, and we must be protected If we
are 10 give our employees better wages
than are paid abroad
Gilbert z. HAYES, a lawyer Of this
city, who has been making a special
study Of the hat question mt Orange and
of other manufacturing interests in New
Jersey, said yesterday "Tho anticipa

wages in this country, especially such as

enables these firms to put these hats on

domestic hats. The pretense Il made by
the promoters of the Mills bin that furs
and skins for hats are raw material.
They are really manufactured article.
Skins and fnrs are only raw material

are manufactured article after being

which these four firms ! have mentioned

what the competition would be without
the duty, and points out to my mind as
clearly rs anything can that the reduc.

competition between foreign and domestic
wages And what the result would be
