Blightsng Effect OF the rarifr.

gross Of steel pens can now be pro-
ducedfor eight cents. They formerly cost
$35. This little statement is floating
moughh the papers. but ulany persons
probably fail to catch its significance. It
illustrates the bliglKing influence of that
terrible tariff. The duty upon pens is nine
cents per gross. Under tariff protection
American producers have reduced the cost
from SSS5 per, gross to eight cents, or one
cent less than the tariff charge upon the
imported article. OF course, every &C
countant and ~schoolboy realizes the OPP
pressive taxation he is subjected to by the
operation Of q tariff capable Of working
such resultg.-Troy Times.

Chicago, May 9-Judge Iuley has
rendered q preliminary decision in q
tested will case that is of considerable
importance to all children born in
slavery and TO many OF the descendants
of such children. He pronou .ces such
children illegitimste, and holds that
they cannot inherit property from the
father. It ia claimed by Mr.. Fish, who
represents mi OF the parties to the suit
that whatever may be the statutes on
slave marriages prior to She war, the
effect Of the emancipation proclamation
and the constitutional amendments WAS
TO restore 10 the slaves all those rights
Of which they had previously been de-
prived. When they became free all the
rights of free men attached to them re-
troactively, SO that the children born to
them in slavery became Legitimate. OF
late, however, it is said southern de.
~cisions have leaned the other wsy. It
is stated that the matter has been
brought TO Congressman Mason's atten-
ton and that he will introduce = bill in
the houRe declaring that the intent and
effect Of the emancipation proclamation
and the constitutional amendments were
TO validate all slave marriages and
legitimatize The children.

intellectual Hnnrer in Cuba.

A singular evidence of the aspiration
toward enlightenment under difficulties
In any land is In an odd class of folk I
have discovered here In Havana. Books
In Cuba are few and costly. There are not
as much news and miscellany in any
single issue Of q Havana newspaper as are
given In three columns of any American
daily. But the intellectual hunger must
be satisfied, and there have grown out Of
these conditions q large number Of lectors
or readers. These go from one shop to
another, and often from house to house
among the lowly, and read and comment
upon the insignificant worlds news which
the lifeless papers occasionally print.
They are well paid, for, as they must roar
like mad bulls in their readings. SO that
the 500 or 1000 hands In a great cigar
factory can all catch the precious words,
they soon lose their voices altogether

ANOTHER RECORD OF FAILURE.

Secretary Haynrd's List as Long as that
Of His worthy Chief.
Recently The New York Sun printed
the failure record Of President Cleveland.
The "heads Of departments" are men Of
his own choice, and as like seeks like, 1t
Is but natural that they should all be as
great f~silures In their respective Lines as
their CHI lef. All their failures are simply
a part 5f his, and when all are put to-
gether they will make q big volume. The
failures Of Whitney in the navy are fully
equalled by those of Villas in the treas
ury. The new postmaster general, Don
Dickinson. is making a run which aston
ishes the older heads. He has already
nearly outstripped them all These will
all be compiled In time for handy refer
ence. The Cleveland Leader has supple.
mented The Suns failure record Of Cleve-
land with Bayard's failure record in tho
department of state as follows:
Under Secretary Bayard's management
of that department the United States has
been disgraced and made the laughing
stock of the diplomatic circles of every
country with which we heve had any ex-
tensive negotiations. What Mr.. Bayard
has tried to do and what he has done is
shown In the following:
He unnecessarily prolonged the settle
ment OF the North Atlantic fisheries
trouble, and finally effected a SETTLE
ment" that really settled nothing except
Canada's right to charge u fishermen for
ommon commercial privileges.
he has mixed things up inexplicably in
the Behring sen seal fisheries dispute and
seems disposed to maintain a policy that
will eventually force us to give up our
rights in the North Pacific.
The ~extradition treaties with Russia
and England have been neither compre.
hensive nor equitable.
By the Sandwich Island treaty he
thought he was securing the right in per
petuity to the Pearl harbor, when, in fact,
the grant is measured by the life of the
treaty-seven years.
In the Samoan difficulty. he allowed
himself to be wretchedly b~rswbeaten and
bullied by Bismarck. and failed to main
tain our rights in the Samoan Islands
against German aggression.
supported by the ruling OF The secretary
of the treasury, he has allowed the Cana
dian Pacific railroad to compete, at q
runious rate, with American Pacific
roads.
he refused to assert the Monroe doc
Urine In the Venezuela troubles, thereby
allowing England to secure valuable ter
ritory in South America.
He disgraced the country by a cowardly
attempt to bully Mexico in the Cutting
case and by sending his cockney pet, the
drunken Sedgwick. to the City of Mexico
as a special envoy.
BE has failed to secure any satisfaction
from the sultan CT Morocco for confirming
American citizens. q gross insult. He has
negotiated a new Chinese treaty that is
declared by the most competent authority
on the faciiic coast TO DO Incapable Of eff
fecting relief from the grievous evils of
Chinese immigration.
In every important diplomatic relation,
he has shown himself incapable of direct
ing our foreign affairs to the honor of this
country. Thank goodness there will be
an end of all this on the 18th Of March
next.

Feast of Ren,ecost.ss = {

In the Christian Churches Pentecost
was celebrated Sunday. commemorative
the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the
Apostles, bestowing upon them the gift or
tongues. The feast has been kept as a
Christian festival from very early times.
The word was used both for Whiisunday
and for the whole period of fifty days
after Easter The Vigil Of Pentecost
was one OF the two days in which solemn
baptism was conferred. and the Missall
still gives a form for the blessing oktlie
font on that day. In some places in
olden times the blessing of the candle,
the blowing of trnmrets at the Sanctus
Spiritus in the mass of Whitsunday took
place. The name whitsunday is most
common ia England. 1t decends from
the Angle Saxon Invita- Sunnandaeg,
and means White Sunday In the Catho-
lie and German churches the feast g cele-
brated with more soIemnity. Easter and
Pentecost were for many ages the times at
which bapfisms were administered. and
10 colder climates like our own Pentecost
would be preferred to Easter. as baptism
10 those days was given by immersion
