tract was raised to $1.35, and
this is the amount they receive forsim-
liar goods to-day. The letter of Mr..
Hide to Hurley & Duncan Informs the
American firm that Hans Kohler q
Co., whom he represents, can sell SIM
liar goods for 3 shillings and 6 pence,
or "a cents per 1000. The present tar
if on labels is % per cent, Adding the
tax for importation, the cost of these
labels delivered in New York would be
81. %, or % cents less than the actual
cost of making them in this country.
Mr.. Kinds, who is an ardent believer
in protection, says these facts show a
condition of affairs that he would like
20 see the free traders explain. His
firm employs several hundred laborers
and pays fair wages. The tariff duty
of % per cent. does not protect hum
sufficiently now to allow competition
with the foreign article. II that were
taken off he would have to pay his
laborers starvation wages or shut down
altogether. Laboring men in the
Eastern district have been talking
good deal about this practical demon
stration of the value OF protection,
and it is doing great work in showing
them on which side Of the question
their real interests lie.

NEWSPAPER OPINIONS.


Milford News and Advertiser.
A general, lively and natural interest Is
felt by the people OF the Peninsula in the
price that will be realizsd from the sale OF
their large peach crop during the next Elk
weeks. In the speculation as 10 prices. the
efficiency of the Exchange, and Bureau Of
Information, the ability OF tho transporta-
ton companies to distribute the crop, the
magnitude OF the crop, and many other
matters have been discussed and weighed
But the most important factor in determin.
ing prices has been little mentioned and
not at all IN public, that we have seen.
That factor il the weather. What will the
weather beg II generally clear and bright
pesches may be sent in good condition as
far west as Chicago, and north to Canada.
There will be many markets. On the CON
trary II heavy rains are numerous and the
air muggy, peaches will be full of water,
tender, and viii decay soon. In this con-
dition the fruit will bear transportation
but a short distance. say New York,
Philadelphia and near by cities and towns.
Very naturally these would receive nearly
all the fruit and be glutted to such an ex
tent thst prices would not be remunerative.
Again. IL the weather should be wet, as in
1885, much OF the fruit will speck and rot
In the orchards, while the Gamers and
evaporators will find It unsatisfactory. Let

resolution demanding ine weather OF the

Residents of the northwestern sec.
ton of the city have been complaining
much OF late of the unnecessary and
uncalled for racket that the engines of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad make.
Through the fall and winter, the
houses being closed more than in sum-
mer, the noise is not so Objectionable.
but when the heat of summer comes
on the continual screeching of whistles
and ringing of bells is very annoying
and exasperating. When the line first
started Mr.. Thatcher of the Seventh
ward circulated petition for sigma
lures, requesting the railroad authori-
ties TO issue orders to suppress the un-
necessary noise, but it availed nothing.
The Pennsylvania railroad, with its
two or three miles Of rail running
through the city, and with its vastly
greater traffic, is never the subject Of
complaint. This is no doubt due, to a
great extent, to the fact that it passes
through the business portion OF the
city where noise is unnoticed. On the
other hand, the Baltimore and Ohio,
with but half mile OF its line running
through the city, is a continual source
Of irritation to the citizens whose resi-
dences are situated on the hill, but
their repeated efforts to remedy the
evil have been steadily ignored. The
Pennsylvania state laws prohibit the
whistling of locomotives within its
limits. Why cannot the Delaware
Legislature enact a similar law?

What Is the sSbtle influence pervading the
moral atmosphere in New York which SO
markedly distinguishes what we call life here
from life in Parisl
1t is, / think, distinctly traceable to the
intense individualism which prevails among
us Magnificent results have followed our
devotion to this force; incontestably we have
through it spared ourselves both the acute
and the chronic misery for which the tyranny
Of society over its constituent parts is di-
rectly responsible We have, moreover, in
this way not only freed ourselves from the
tyranny of despotism, such, for example, as
is exerted socially in England and politically
IN Russia but we have undoubtedly devel-
oped a larger number Of self reliant and DO
tentially capable social units than even a
democratic system Ike that of France, which
sacrifices the unit % the organism, succeeds
in producing. We may truly say that, ma
terial as we are accused OF being, we turn

ourRAGE ON FAIR PLAY

Some time ago the London Times
made very grave and serious charges
against Charles Stewart Parnell and
the Irish members of the House Of
Commons, duplicating them in con-
spiracy against the government. The
latter very promptly demanded that
Parliament investigate these charges,
well knowing that, if the proceedings
were conducted fairly and honestly,
they would be completely exonerated.
A commission was determined upon,
and it was upon the personnel Of this
commission that the exciting debates
in the House of Commons during the
past week occurred. A more
complete exhibition of gag law,
of premature enforcement of
closure, has not occurred in this CEN
tury's legislation. The Irish members
were entitled to an impartial investi-
cation of the charges against them.
Their rights as members of the Imperial
Parliament should have been respected
and protected. They should have had
fair play This they have not had. The
investigation was directed in a spirit
of hostility 10 them and markedly
favorable to their accusers. The
language used in Parliament
airy debate was such as
has scarcely been heard in the worst
days of the Commons. Mr.. Parnell,
usually a quiet man, was at a white
heat all the week. Charges and coun-
ter-charges were made, most of them
unfounded. The contest between En-
gland and Ireland has re.opened. The

better thing than to re-instate Mr.. Glad.

REIDEL, the heartless murderer of
his wife and child, is losing his bravado
and defiant manner as his end ap-
proaches. The statement that he eats
little or nothing confirms this view.
The peculiar agnostical ideas of death
to which he holds, are characteristic.
A man who is so lost to ell feelings Of
parental and conjugal affection, as to
commit the cold-blooded crime of
which he is guilty, naturally finds
refuge in a belief that does not
threaten retribution for his acts.
Although efforts have been made to
obtain reprieve for him, it is not
likely to be granted and he will doubt
less be executed on Friday next.

But in this perfecting Of the means Of
