The New York representative Of the
Bigelow Carpet Company, Of Clinton,
Mass, yesterday denied the statements
made a few days ago in the Providence
Journal that the Company's mills are
closed for lack Of orders, and that the
firm is in favor Of free trade, as being, a
benefit TO manufacturers and the work
ing class in the carpet industry. DE
said: 1.-THE report is full Of errors. Our
mills are, and always have been in Gin

Can not the bridegroom present
the trousseau?"
..Yes, he can; but as far as could
ascertain there were certain restric-
tons. The newly-married couple
never go on a honeymoon, the univer-
sal custom being to allow them to re-
main at home for eight days. At the
expiration of that time the cards are
sent out. Then there is merry max

ment."

Yes. it does Still there are pure
love affairs even in Italy. and man
doesn't expect dover from the rela-
tives of a poor orphan whom he loves.
In this country but few Italians re-
gard their country's custom. Some
believe in the wisdom of receiving the
mayors and church's appreciation.

festivities are entirely disregarded. "

a Political Weathercock.

In his recent tariff speech Senator
Sherman said that the Scent revenue
tax on tobacco ''was a burden to the
farmer and to the consumer. On
February 10, 1888, pending the eonsid-
Grafton of the clause relating to in
ternal taxes on snuff and manufactured
tobacco, which the bill, as reported,
placed at u cents per pound after July
l, 1885, Senator Beck moved to make
the rate 8 cents, which was agreed to
despite the fact that Senator Sherman
voted No" II the 12-cent rate was
not burden to the farmer and to the
consumer in 1888, what makes the s.
cent rate so now? John Sherman is a
fraud and weathercock. On Febru-
airy 16, 1888, Senator German moved
for the repeal of the internal-revenue
tax on tobacco, snuff and cigars His
motion was rejected by q vote of z
yeas to AZ nays, Senator Sherman vot-
ing NO." as he did upon every prop

THREE GOOD PRINCIPLES.
Why the Spirit of Democracy Is Opposed
to Unjust Taxation.

The Democratic party, through its
traditions, its platforms and its Presi-
dent, is committed to these principles:
~ The Government has no con-
stitutional or moral right to collect
a revenue in excess of the needs of its
economical administration. Unneces-
sary taxation is unjust taxation. I'M
just taxation is tyranny, whether inn
posed in monarchy or republic.
ca a surplus III the Treasury is a
National evil, and may become Ma
tional peril. 1t is a standing tempta-
ton to extravaganza. 1t may per-
petuate high taxes for long period
by leading to the Inauguration of ex-
penditures that will be continuous.
The way to deal with a surplus is to
stop its collection.
60 The taxes to be first abated are
those which bear heaviest upon the
greatest number of people-namely.
taxes upon universal necessities and
the essentials of manufactures. Hence,
the food, the fuel, the shelter and the
clothing of the people and the raw ma
terials of the manufactures should be
first relieved in any reduction of taxa
ton.
These are Democratic principles.
They should constitute the Democratic
policy. Whatever compromise may
be required to secure the best attaina-
BILE result it is the business of statesman
ship to make. Craftsmanship has been
defined to be .sthe science of the prac-
teal" and the practical duty before
Congress is the prevention of the sur.
plus
But the President is entitled to the
thanks of the country and to the
united support of his party in his cour-
ageous stand for sound principles

The Debate on the Tariff.

Mr.. Sherman seems to be democrat
lied by the exigencies of his candidacy.
His speech on the message was mere
rehash of Mr.. Blaine's cable, and dis
plays poor Mr.. Sherman in the I'M
pleasant attitude of one of Mr.. Blaine's
most abject followers and imitators.
So closely did he copy his master that
he even suggested distribution of the
surplus. piece of idiocy on which it
was generally supposed Mr.: Blaine
held a patent, with the disposition TO
prosecute all who dare infringe it. Mr..
Sherman's speech must have disap-
pointed his friends in the Senate, and
will disappoint Western Republicans,
who see that to oppose all reform
of tariff is fatal to them, because it is
to be false to the pledges of their party
and is opposed to their own just de-
mands. Mr.. Voorhees, made a very
forcible defense of the message which
Mr. Sherman had attacked. exposing
the wrongs and mischiefs of the sur
plus taxation and the war tariff, and
urging free raw material for the bene-
fit of American manufacturers. He
declared rightly that the Democratic
party, in seeking to effect a wise and
conservative reform of the tariff laws,
is the truest friend of the home manu-
facturers and of their work people.

A POWERFUL BIRD.
Remarkable Strength and Endurance OF
the Condor of the Andes.

Remarkable Strength and Endurance OF
the Condor of the Andes.
Darwin, while watching the long
and lofty flight of the Lammergier's
American cousin, the condor. in its great
circling sweep at enormous attitudes
above the CHILEAN plains wondered at
the bird $ power of thus sailing. hour
after hour, in those great sweeping
circles without any apparent motion
of the outspread wings He arrived
at the probable correct solution of the
puzzle which has bothered a good
many other observers in watching the
spiril flight of the eagle and the red
tailed hawk. The extended wings
gave not a single flap, but seemed to
form the fulcrum on which the move-
ments of the rest of the great bird
his neck, body and tail-acted. IF
the bird wished to descend the wings
were for a moment collapsed, and
when again expanded. with an altered
inclination, the momentum gained by
the rapid descent seemed to urge the
bird upward with the even and steady
movement of paper kite. "
There is something attractive in
such spectacle. The condor is known
to soar far above the loftiest peaks of
the Andes, which lift their snowy tops
to elevations four miles above the sea.
Indeed, it is known to rise six miles in
vertical height-far above all ordi-
nary clouds-and there, in that rari-
fed region, in which human life could
not exist his eagle eye surveys the
world below in search of prey. and
finds in those spaces of the sky his ma
tive air. That company of three or
four condors can, and actually have

its sight before killing him and dining
off his carcass. is a fact which is said
to have been witnessed by those who
