An Inducement to Marry,

A dispatch from Detroit to the New
York San says curious viii has just
been admitted to probate Ann Arbor.
1t was made by Luther James, an old
bachelor resident Of a rural township,
who was reported to be worth several
hundred thousand dollars. A nephew
named James L. Babcock, of Chicago,
who has been very closely connected
with his affairs for number of years,
gets much the largest share of his
estate, but on the express condition
that he marries in the next five years.
He gives this gentleman securities to
the amount of O,0O0 face value, real
value double that sum, and the inter-
est on about $3.50, 900. This is to con-
tinue for five years, when, provided
Babcock is married, he is to get the
principal. If at that time Babcock is
dead and his widow or children sur
vive, they get one-half, and the other
legatees the other half. If Babcock
fails to get married the other legatees
get it all. These other legatees in
clude two sisters and twenty-one
nieces and nephews, who each receive
$5, 900,

The yellow Fever Epidemic

The telegraphic dispatches from
Jacksonville, Fla, inform US that the
population of the city, which was 30,-
900 souls five weeks ago, has been re-
duced by the exodus of people flying
from the yellow-fever epidemic to
5000 Of whom 1900 are colored and
1900 are whites. The total number
of fever cases up to Monday night was
295 the deaths to that time were SO,
and the cases remaining under treat
ment 1873. It is difficult to imagine
a more distressing situation than that
of Jacksonville just now. All around
in Florida and in the adjoining States
strict embargo is laid upon outgoing
freights, and nearly all the places Of
refuge have been quarantined against
the unfortunate people. OF the cities
within easy reach of rail, Atlanta. Ca,
seems not to have shut its gates as q
place Of refuge, and all who can get
away seem to be flocking to that point,
where the elevation is good and yellow
fever not likely to effect a lodgment.

SUDDEN Death orBig Winnie johnson


Winnie Johnson, a colored woman
of immense proportions and weighing
$40 pounds died suddenly late Monday
night, of fatty degeneration of the
heart. She was on exhibition last sea-
SON at dime museum on Baltimore
street. Owing to her great weight, it
was impossible to dress her body for
burial. Messrs. Evans & Spence, uu-
dertakers, took charge of the body, and
not being able to find a coffin large
enough, made a large box, five
feet eleven inches long, three
feet eight inches wide and three
feet two inches deep. The
box containing her body was lifted
by eight men through the aperture
made by the removal of large bow
window, and placed in an express wa
gon backed over the pavement to the
window, no hearse being sufficient to
carry it. Winnie was born in Henry
county, KY, September ~, 1889,
When fifteen years old she married
slave named Johnson, and she was the
mother of ten children, two of whom
were twins. Her husband died six
years ago in Kentucky. When she
married she weighed but ninty-six
pounds. Ten years later her weight
was 1886 pounds and it increased to 401
pounds when she was 81 years old, 511
pounds the next year, and to 635 pounds
when she was AZ. Her weight last
January was 6114 pounds, and last
Saturday she turned the scales at $40
pounds She was feet inches high,
and measured 8 feet 10 inches around
the body, 53a inches around the thigh,
had a 22-inch ankle and wore an 81
shoe. Baltimore Sun, September S.

The Evils of the Tariff.

That taxation for protective pur-
poses has resulted so far in a con.
tinuous waste of capital and labor in
this country is conclusively shown by
the present condition o. the so-called
protected industries, and by the his
tory of our legislation on the subject.
The early advocates Of the system pro-
posed it only as a temporary expedient
to aid in the permanent establishm ent
of certain industries, and insisted that
after few years of dependence upon
the bounty of the government and
people they would bs strong enough to
stand alone and compete successfully
with their rivals, not only in the home
market but in all othe.s. Under the
influence of this argument the first
protective tariff was enacted in 1916,
and yet, after seventy years have pass
ed, many of the same industries which
then asked temporary assistance only
are now demanding more than double
the rates of duty then deemed sufi-
cient, and their accredited committees
and organs unanimously declare that
unless these enormous bounties shall
be indefinitely continued the indus
tries must cease to exist. According
to their own showing, the policy in
aagurated nearly three-quarters Of a
century ago for the purpose of render
ing them independent and self sustain
ing has had exactly the opposite effect.
Its constant tendency has been, and is
now, to impair their ability to COM
pete with the products of similar in
dustries elsewhere, and to make them
more and more dependent upon boun-
ties and special legislation for suppol;.
1t has added largely to the cost of pro-
duction by Increasing the price of
machinery and materials and the ne
cessaries of life it has confined the
products of the so-called protected in
dustries to the home market exclusive
ly, SO that the amount of production
must be regulated by the domestic de-
mand alone, and operations must be
suspended when that demand it salts
fed; it has obstructed International ex-
changes, thus partially excluding the
products of our other industries from
profitable markets abroad, diminishing
their earnings and arresting their
growth and prosperity it has provok-
ed other governments to resort to re-
taliatory measures, discriminating
against our products and trade in their
own ports and markets and giving pre-
ference to the products and trade Of
our most formidable rivals /; and here
at home, by encouraging capital and
labor to rely upon Legislation for pro-
fits rather than their own capacity,
it has greatly impaired that spirit of
Independence and enterprise which is
absolutely indispensable to the sue
cessful prosecution of business In this
age of improvement and progress

After little girlish talk Ruth said,

aOh, Miss Chittenden, / have just

would you teach p''
"Only the classes in arithmetic
and algebra" Annie answered. ~
"Then you certainly may accept the
position tonight. And we win work
all day to-day, and then you can sure
ly review the rest by yourself. It will
be only the beginning that will be
troublesome"
It was hope and sympathy that
Annie needed, almost more than the
books ; and that night she went home,,
with the books under her arm and new
resolutions in her heart.
And Ruth went to the mountains for
the fresh. bracing air and beautiful
scenery. But there was nothing that
brought to her more strength and
beauty than letter from Annie, only
one short week after that first day Of
Ruth's summer"
Dear Mss CI,ittenden:-" Mother
died yesterday. You know what q
sufferer she has been for long time,
and how she would not consent to my
helping in the sewing, for fear that I
too might break down. Her only fear
of dying was that she should leave me
homeless, and now I will not be so, as
I have definitely engaged to teach.
Among mothers last words was a
message to you. She said: Tell Miss
Chittenden that her kindness to rs
will not be forgotten and that my
prayer is that her cup of cold water
may bring her abundant blessing.
That prayer is mine, too. And though
I can give you nothing but thanks, I
may find some one next winter to
whom I may give as I have received.
Yours always,

And hold her as his own,
But now his hopes were lost in pain,
And joy fole'er was flown.

The Democratic Party and the Tariff
Thus it appears that from the birth
of the Democratic party down to the
present time It's every official utter.
ance save one has been against the
policy of a tariff for the sake Of pre-
lection, and that one exception, made
by the convention that nominated
Horace Greely, was a mere evasion
of the question which the convention
remitted to the people of the various
congressional districts. Such differ
ences as existed among Democrats
before the Civil War afford no evi-
dence that during that period a single
member of the party could have been
found to countenance or defend such
q tariff as now exists-one that levies
duties higher than Henry Clay ever
dared to SO suggest, and yields a sur
plus more than twice as large as the
whole revenue of the government af-
ter the close of the Mexican war.
There is no longer any pretencs that
our taxation has for its primary object
the raising of the revenue, and its
advocates practically admit that pro-
lection is its object and revenue the
incident. Throughout its whole exis-
teDce the Democratic party has new
er, through legislation shaped by it,
or in its official utterances, failed to
indicate its settled hostility to such a
scheme of taxation. The pretended
Democrats who aid the Republican
party in the maintenance of such tar
iff seek to. Justify their conduct by
false statements as to the past atti-
tude of the party, and by quoting the
tariff plank of 1894. Unsatisfactory
and un-Democratic as is their inter-
probation Of that plank, it does not
justify such a position. The expert
encs of the past four years has shown
how preposterous is the pretence that
the wages Of labor are maintained by
such system. The chief benefciaries
of protection, many of whom have
amassed enormous fortunes, unblush.
ingly hire Pinkerton detectives to
drive American workmen from their
mills to make way for that "pauper
foreign labor" against which they i'm.
pudently pretend that the tariff pro.
tects American workmen. The other
false pretence, that protection event.
ually cheapens the products of domestic
manufacturers, is effectually disposed
of by the formation of trusts to pre-.
vent the reduction of prices through
home competition. William T.

peared, and for six years he has not had

AMUSINGLY AUDACIOUs.

In their extremity the Republican
leaders have appealed to CARL SCHURZ,
now sojOurning in Germany, to come
home and take the stump for the Re
publican presidential ticket. In the
dispatch which the GLOBE prints this
morning Mr.. SCHURZ declines, for rea-
sons so clear, pungent and unanswer-
able that it may well be inferred it will
be anything but agreeable reading to
the prOtectiOniSts. Nothing" he says,
"cOuld be more amusingly audaciOus
than the efforts made to persuade the
American workingmen that their wages
depend absolutely upon the tariff" and
that in case of revenue reform "Amer-
lean labor will be depressed to the level
of European pauper labor" The high
compliment which the distinguished
German-American passes upon Mr..
CLEVELAND's administration, coming
as it does from an Old-time Re
publicad statesman, is one of the
greatest ever given to a political
opponent. He calls it "a gain to the
morals of our political life," and gives
to its purity and fidelity the tribute of
his admiration and approval. A letter
like this cannot fail of an important in
fiuence upon that vast body of our citi-
zens who are of the same nationality as
the writer, and who have regarded him,
as do many Americans, as statesman
of unsullied morals and patriotic i'm
pulses.
The voice of CARL SCHURZ has never
yet been raised for the treacherous. the
oppressive or the unclean in politics.
