THE LOT OF TWO GIRLS,
COMPANION PICTURES OF EVERYDAY LIFE
IN NEW YORK.

At4 o'clock yesterday afternoon q
daintIIy attircJ woman stepped from her
coupe to the south curb Of Fourteenth
street not far from where that throngcd
thoroughfaro pours its Saturday pleas
ure-scekcrs into sixth avenues stream
of humanity, A pretty little girl OF
seven or eight ycors sprlng lightly out
after her, put Aor mittencd hand in her
mothers well-g.oved fingers and walked
jauntily off. They were good to look
at, these two in their fashionable
drapery becoming head-gcur and
polished boots. They mixed readily in
the current of promenaders, for they
had money to spend while the coupe
waited and delicate tastes to crafty.
They turned into a shop door not far of
and took places in u row OF other we'll
dressed women and children waiting
their turn to be supplied with tickets
by busy little brown haired cashier.
The shop was filled with the rustic Of
female skirts and bright with kalcido-
scopic mass of brilliant bonnets, Lig-
plumcd hats and pretty ribbons.
The short counters on either ha1u
stopped at row Of cabinets, each just
big enough for three chairs and mir
ror. Some Of the hardwood doors OF
tho cabinets were open, and outside
them all customers waited for a chance
at the crimpinG- the shears, the
clipper a4d the cologne bottle, over
which the big-cycd, white aproned girl
within p resided with grace and alert
ness. There was perfume in the air,
and everywhere a suggestion of futter-
ing laccs, crisp bank notes and jjngIing
portemOnnaies.
When EtheIs turn came she climbed
into the big armchair in front of the
mirror. Her mother sat down by her

said the attendant; ''why, how fast
they do grow, to be sure" and she
raised the thick sunny locks from the
chiJd's smooth, white forehead and
weighed them on her ninbe fingers.

the chair first, and while I'm waiting
for her I'm to have some chocolates,

girl-barbcr, ">ure enough. Aad you'll

Then all three laughed. There was
nothing too good for Ethel, and she
knew it as well as they.

TIN PLATES IN OMAHA.
AN object Lesson for Democratic Work
ingmen to Study.

Tin plates to the value of 50, 09S were
received at the custom house in this
city Saturday, on which the duty was
81 054 20, and the genial democratic
officials were pointing with pride to
it as an illustration Of the beauties of the
Mills bill, which would put tin plates on
the free list and save to the consumers
in this country the 81, 054.20. Are these
gentleman aware that TIN plates are iron
plates coated with tin in the proportion
of nine parts iron and the one part tint
That to admit tin plates free is to admit
iron free, which even Mills does not
favor? That tin is already admitted
duty free. while we have an abundance
of iron, so that we have all the raw ma
terials, duty free, to manufacture tin
plates. and that the reason we do not
manufacture them is because the present
duty does not cover the difference be-
tween wages in this country and abroad
IL the democratic party wants to build
up an industry which will give thous-
ands Of men in this country employment,
while at the same time stopping the
revenue from imports of tin plates, LEI
it advance the duty instead of repeating
1t. Four-tifthS of the cost of tin plates
is IN labor. but our friends prefer to pur
chase theirs abroad rather than pay labor
reasonable wages for manufacturing it a
home Omaha Republican.

PERSONAL CHIT CHAT

Henry Gillig, of the late American ex-
change, London, is again in New York.
He Gays lock out, for ne shall bob up
again.
Mrs. Cleveland is worth 100000 in her
own name, and the president has accumu-
lated $250,O00 more.
Henry Willard says that he attributes
his success as a railroad man to the
knowledge he gained of human nature by
newspaper work.
President Carnot, of France, has be
come an authority on masculine fashions,
and ths color of his cra7ats and the style
OF his coats are being zealously copied
by the cIubmen of Paris.
Lady Randolph Churchill takes great
interest in the presidential contest, and
she has written to friend in New York
that bets on the results are freely ex-
changed among the American colony in
London.
The late Gen. Solomon, ex-president OF
Hayti, was a splendid specimen of the
negro race. He was essentially polish
ed, dignifed gentleman, and outside of
politics had few if any enemies. One OF
his marked characteristics was his love
for classical music.

TIE FREE TRADE CRUSADE.
How tho Democrats Have Been Brought
into Their Present Attitude.

Mr. Cleveland gave deliberate assur-
ance, in order to secure an election,
that under his administration the tariff
question should be treated with strict
regard to the needs of American indus
tries and the interests of the working
men. Undoubtedly he then meant to
pursue a prudent and moderate course.
But the extreme free traders gained his
ear and his confidence. Into mind
curiously i'll informed they poured their
specious theory that the way to promote
American industry was to buy raw ma
terials abroad, because there they could
be bought most cheaply. They persuad-
ed him that denomination and re-elec-
ton depended upon adoption of their
views, upon unreserved championship of
their course, upon taking the leader
ship himself Of the great popular move
ment, az it was represented, for tariff re-
form. The result has been the inaug
Grafton of free trade crusade against
the policy under which the country has
prospered marvelOusly for twenty
years. The measure proposed by the
presidents supporters and strongly sup
ported by him with open use for his
patronage and his official power is the
most violent and radical change of the
tariff ever proposed by any political
party, and q change more violent and
radical than any party ever has made.
The reduction Of duties in 1888 was
gradual, extending over several years.
The reduction in 1916 was not more
than ones sixth Of the aggregate duties
collected In 1858 the reduction was
even smaller But the Mills bill would
cut off at a single stroke more than $40,
100000 of customs, revenue out of 1919, :
10000. or nearly one-quarter, and would
establish absolute free trade for pro-
ducts of several hundred industries.
Thus the question has come TO be dis
tinctly this, whether the country means
to be governed hereafter by the worst
and most dangerous tendencies Of the
democratic party. Men have come to
see that Mr.. Cleveland by himself repre-
sents nothing and means nothing, save
as he is the instrument of that same
southern oligarchy which misgoverned
the country so long. which forced upon
it pro-slavery and sectional policy, and
which sought to destroy the govern
ment when it could no longer control it.

The Mayor Takes Steps to Avoid Conflict in
Indianapolis Saturday Night.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29.-Mayor Denny,
to-day, called together the chief marshals
of the democratic and republican parades
set for Saturday evening, also the chair
men of the democratic and republican
county committees. They were in
consultation for long time both parties
refused to abandon their intended
demonstration and each have published
long list of officers for the occasion.
1t was finally agreed that each party
should parade only upon certain
streets of the city and to this end
the mayor drew up formal written
agreement giving the line of march and
the time for starting and disbanding each
column, and both marshals have signed
the agreement. The mayer hopes
that this arrangement may avert
any conflict, but is dissatisfied
that both will not agree to abandon
their demonstrations. The chief mar
shals have pledged to take special efforts
to prevent any troubles. In the mean
time both sides are redoubling their eff
forts to get out all their clubs and make
a great showing.

The Old Wife.

By the bed the old man, waiting, sat in vigil
sad and tender,
Where his aged wife lay dying. and the twi-
light shadow brown
Slowly from the wall and window chased the
sunsets golden Splendor
Going down.
SIS it nightf'' she whispered, waking, for her
spirit seemed to hover,
Lost between the next worlds sunrise and
the bedtime cares for this.
And the old man. weak and fearful, tremb-
ling, bending over.
Answered, Yes.
Are the children imp she asked him. Could
he tell her? Ali the treasures
Of their household lay in silence many years
beneath the snow;
But her hearth was with them living back
among her tolls and pleasures
Long ago.
And again she called ar dew-fau, in the sweet
Old summer weather:
where is little Charlie, father? Frank and
Robert-have them Gomez
"They are safe,' the old man faltered; "a1
the children are together,
Safe at home"
Then she murmured gentle soothings. but his
grief grew strong and stronger,
Till it choked and stilled him as be held and
kissed her wrinkled hand,
For her soul, far out of hearing, could his
fondest words no longer
Understand.
Still the pale lips stammered questions, lula
byes, and broken verses,
Nursery prattle Il all the language of a
mothers loving heeds.
While the midnight round the mourneE, left
to sorrows bitter mercies,
wrapped its weeds.
There was stiffness on the pillow-and the old
man listened lonely
Till they led him from the chamber, with
the burden on his breast,
For his wife of seventy years, his manhood 8
early love and only,
Lay at rest.
Fare you we'll" he sobbed, my Sarah; you
will meet the babes before me;
'Tis little while, for neither can the part
ing long abide.
And you'll come and call me soon, / know
and heaven viii restore me
To your side"
TT was even so. The spring-time, in the steps
of winter treading,
Scarcely shed its orchard blossoms ere the
old man closed his eyes;
And they buried him by Sarah-and they
had their diamond wedding
In the skies.
