THE mysterious "Bab," who writes a column and half of the most interesting kind of literature for the Sunday Star, is genius, and if "she" is horrid man as many of her readers and admirers are led to believe, tshe" possesses an innate knowledge of women's ways that is re- markable. Here is sample of her wares : 1T wouldn't trust woman who told me she didn't care for mems society. There is something wrong with her. She's abso- lutely abnormal, and certain to come to a wrong end. Even beating will not take from right minded woman her inborn liking for mankind in general and man in special There has never been one of these women who cared only for the society of women who wasn't fretful, tiresome, unhealthy in mind and body, and altogether burden to the earth Women should like women, of course, but they should like men better: It's horrid slang to say they're built that way, but it's the only thing, which absolutely expresses it."

G. D. GOULD had quite a picnic with a shark at Ponce park, Fla, last week. He caught the shark, cut his jaw off, cut his liver out and then put him back into the water, when the shark swam away and met some other sharks. He told them he had been on shore to be treated for tooth ache and liver complaint. MT Gould will show the sharks jaw to any one who doubts the truth of the stery.

THE railroad commissioners yesterday made an investigation into the cause of last weeks accident on the consolidated road. The derailment was due to move able rails, and as 80, 900 trains had passed safely over the bridge, it was considered the safest system yet adopted, and will be continued with few Improvements. It would be advisable for people to keep t ,lly of the number of trains passing over that bridge.

In the bill providing for the establish ment of bureau of labor which the senate passed yesterday the word tariff frequently occurs. Senator Edmunds, who never lets slip an opportunity to be very tech nical moved that wherever the word tariff occurs in the bill it should be stricken out, and the words customs laws inserted: He did so on the ground that there is no such word as tariff known to our laws, and that, therefore, its use made the terms of the bill ambiguous. Senator Blair, who had charge of the labor bill, begged the Yer mont senator not to be so technical, as it would involve the return of the bill to the house and create great delay. The word tariff, he said, was sufficiently plain to everybody, and no one could mistake its meaning. Mir Edmunds, however, as always, was immovable, and the bill was amended in accordance with his wishes.

The Democratic party is no more
for "free trade" than the Republican
party-not enough SO according to
the ideas of the GOLD LEAF-but it is
for freer trade. The average reduc-
ton as called for by the Mills bill is
only 5 per cent, or the difference
between Al and AZ per cent. The
contest IS not for absolute free trade,
but slight reduction of the tariff on
certain articles Of prime necessity to

WHILE Gen. Harrison, Republican
candidate for President of the United
States, has not been as conspicuous for
his hatred of the South as ingalls,, For
akeI, Sherman and others of that
stripe, he is nevertheless a fit Repre-
sentative OF his party, judging from the
following recent utterance of his. In
a speech at indianapolis, Indiana, Sep
TENDER 70, 1888, he said:
"The annals of war fail to furnish a
sadder story than that of the hosts of
Union veterans who suffered wars
greatest hardships-captivity. The sto-
~ of the Rebel prison pens was one of
grim horror. In the field our enemies,
always brave, were generally also chiv-
alric and humane. But the treatment
of the captured Union soldiers sur
passed in flendish cruelty the deeds O.
