LOVE AND REVENGE.

''Wassilyi for the first time in his life fell in
love with a woman He procured her a place
in business house and paid literally for her
support, although he made her believe that
she was supporting herself
For several weeks the girl, who had some
regard for her protector, kept straight in the
path Of virtue. But one day when wassilyi
visited her home, thing he seldom did, and
then only when an old guardian of hers was
present, he found that she was gone.
'-She had left a letter to him, in which she
said that, though thankful to him for all his
kindness, her life was now too 'ennuyant' for
her. and that she preferred to be left alone
''Wassilyi was in fearful mood after this.
He wandered so restlessly through the streets
Eight weeks afterward he disappeared. At the
same time Madeline, the woman whom he had
supported, was found murdered in the quarter
where she had formerly led life Of shame.
Two days afterward in quiet side street of
the Fauoourg st. German the corpse of an
other murdered woman was found. Three
days afterward phryne Of the Quarter Mouf-
fetard wis butchered at night time. All the
murders were perpetrated in the same horrible
way as those in WhitechapeL Jewels and
everything of value on the corpse remained
untouched. Five more victims were found
butchered in the ACCOMPLISHMENT DIES Pantheon
between the Boulevards- st. Michel and de
rHapital.
Then, in the Rue de Lyon, an attack was
made on street girl, who had the chance to
cry Tor help before she was strangled A throng
gathered, the police arrived, and the would-be
murderer was captured. 1t was Nicolaus Was
slyi. The mob wanted TO lynch him, but he
was protected.

"Under Existing Circumstances"

1t IS at once amusing and lnStruC-
tive to note, what ready refuge
EMBARRASSED politicians often find in
that convenient phrase "under exist
ing circumstances" President Cleve
land was recently invited to the
Gettysburg reunion of the blue and
the grey There was eminent pro-
priety in having SO important an
anniversary honored by the presence
of the highest officer of the great
Republic. Abraham Lincoln thrilled
the hearts of h S countrymen by
few memorable words spoken there
and there is boundless inspiration
i'll the very name of Gettysburg, to
a man in whose bosom throbs as
patri ,,ic a heart as h s was. But
Mr.. Cleveland couldn't trust himself
there. His audience was too mixed.
He could have gushed at Richmond
or Oh rleston. but ingenious sophist
as he is. he still lacked the skill to
round his polished phrase to suit
equally well at one and the same
time, the Union soldier and the ex-
Confederate voter. So under ex-
isting circums ances,' the patriot

MIR. John g. Carlisle has just imi-
tated his presidential exampler by
pleading existing circumstance"
as an excuse for not meeting Mr..
Mckinley of Ohio at the Georgia
Chautauqua in joint discussion of
the tariff question. If Mr. Carlisle
could have gone TO Atlanta without
having to encounter there, as able
an exponent of the Republican doc
trine OF Protection to American In
dustries, he doubtless would have
honored that city by his presen, e,
and made Georgia howl with the
ringing notes of his free-t trade elo-
quence. But to have as keen and
incisive a debater as the Republican
Congressman from Ohio at his elbow
to tear down the fair fabric OF his
oratory was not to be tolerated.
So Mr.. Carlisle pleads existing
circumstances as an excuse for his
absence from Atlanta. But outside
of this exhibition of moral cowardice
upon the part of Mr.. Carlisle the
public at large will resent his absence,
since MIR. Mckinley would doubtless
have made the meeting an interesting
occasion to the country generally as
well as to Mr.. Carlisle.

The Democrats propose to make the
sheet If IN wnrkman compete with iron
made at such low wages as ale paid in
England. Ii the men can do this, they
cannot expect more than the wages of
the English workman. If they cannot
they must give up their work and let
the English made sheets take possession
of the whole markets of this country.
The people of Cecil county will use
perhaps S, 900 worth of sheet iron per
annum for stoves, stove pipe, roofs and
other uses. Ifthey were to buy English
iron at low duties, they might get the
same quantity OF iron at saving of
ST. 900 per annum. But the North
East mills must close unless supported
by an adequate duty, and the county
would lose the $50, 900 to $500 900 per
annum that is now paid out in wages
alone at these works. That is, in order
to save them possibly 81 900, the Demo-
Gratis ask them to give up the sure
100000 which now goes into circula-
ton in the county.
The Democrats while reducing the
duty upon sheet iron and many other
forms of manufactured iron, do not re-
duce the duty upon pig iron, except by
an insignificant amount. Why2 Be-
cause pig iron is now made in large
quantities IN Virginia, Tennessee, Geor-
gia and Alabama-all southern states
and they dare not act consistently in
the matter Tor fear of losing southern
democratic votes. They are willing to
protect Alabama, but Cecil county may
take the hard knocks.
This is sample of their general
policy. Do they do anything in reality,
on the other hand, to benefit our citi-
zens of this county and reduce the cost
of their living9 Let us see.

One of the Commonest free trade
cries is, that the present tariff system
tostt rs all sorts of trusts" and ICON
binatlons' which rob the people. And
yet the three most conspicuous iniqui-
Ties OF this class, are the Standard Oil
Trust, the Coal Trust and the Coffee
Trust. Still there is no tariff on An
thracite Coal, Coal Oil or Coffee, while
two out of the three of these trusts
which so openly rob the people are run
by prominent Democrats who are free
traders, Mr.. Payne of Ohio and VIM
L. Scott the Presidents Pennsylvania

trader and has recently aided in raising
the price of coal twenty five cents pei

The Mills Bill passed the lower House
OF Congress on Saturday last by vote
of I6e to I4o. The number OF Dem
ocratic Congressman who voted against

presumption that this proportion will
be found to exist among voters OF the
two parties throughout the country ex-

A Difficult Task.

1t will be found exceedingly difficult
to convince our capitalists and work
men that the former can continue to
realize fair profit from their operations
and the latter fair wages for their work
il the barriers ale reduced or destroyed
which now lessen the importation of
the products of pauper paid labor. The
conclusion is obvious that if our mar
ketS are to be thrown open, to lesser
or greater degree, to alien manutac-
lures OF all kinds, either our industrial
employers must pay a lower wage rate,
or they must close their works. Our
markets, glutted with ]ow-priced foreign
goods, will afford no room for those
produced by our own well paid work.
men. All the latter ask is that duties
shall be fully protective more than
that they do not ask or wish. But
they do ask that, and, while the Presi-
dents message and the Mills bill do
not sweep away protection, they go SO
far in the direction of tree trade, by re-
ducing sone duties and repeating
others, as to create the suspicion in the
minds of the mass of the people that
the policy they suggest is but the enter
ing wedge of free trade, which, with
Democratic success, would, in the full
ness of time, split the log of Protection
into splinters.
Such being the popular impression
the general dissemination CT the Presi-
dents message and the Mills bill as
campaign documents by the Demo-
Gratis does not promise to achieve the
successful results which tie "tarlff re-
formers" anticipate.

1t is apparent on every hand that the
cry of free whisky raised against the
Republicans by the free traders and
mugwumps IS having very little effect.
The public generally understands that
the proposition in the Republican plat
form to repeal all internal revenue taxes
in certain contingency, is presenta-
ton of an economic question, and not
a declaration in favor of an unrestricted
liquor traffic, and that the warmest ad
vocates Of prohibition bitterly oppose the
tax on whisky, holding that the Gov
eminent should not become partner
in the traffic in liquor.

What the Mills Tariff Bill Would
do for Cecil County.

The Mills bill reducing the tariff on
impC rted articles has been passed iii
the House Of Representatives at Wash
ington by the Democrats, by a party
vote. 1t represents tine policy of that
party, and while it will not become a
law they proclaim that it shows what
they will do in regard to the tariff, if
the November election should result in
their favor. 1t defines the issue, and
is the only real question in the coming
campaign. Therefore 1t would be we'll
if each citizen of the United States
would examine closely the provisions
of this bill, and see how it affects his
own personal welfare before deciding
how he will vote. Every man, woman,
and child in this country has direct
personal interest in this struggle, If they
would realize it, such as they seldom
have had before, and the philanthropists
are few in this day and generation, who
are wiling to Injure their prospects or
their Incomes for the general good.
Those proclaiming such willingness
would naturally be suspected of insin-
cerity or of having some concealed axe

selves in order to confer vaguely pos
