The effect of the tariff on coal. it can be
seen. is to force dividends out Of consum-
ers for capital created only by resolutions
in meetings of directors and 10y a stroke
OF the pen. Wipe out this over capital
cation and there may be legitimate talk
of comparing wages with fair profits; but
the opportunity does not exist in the case
OF a monopoly backed. directly or indi-
rectly, by tariff. The tariff in this case
does not help the workingmen at all. 1t
only sustains such tremendously over
loaded and abused properties as the
Reading and other corporations of its ilk
And IN the meantime workihgmen of all
descriptions have to pay higher prices
for fuel.-New York World.

cans, Only once was when Senator Sher-
man called the attention Of his Ohio col
league, Senator Payne, TO the resolutions
Of the Ohio Legislature requiring their
Senators to vote against Lamar, and asked
him why he did not obey them. Senator
Payne replied with some anger that tho
Legislature had its own way OF thinking
about tho matter, but that they could hardly
expect him to give up his own opinions
and adopt theirs. In other words, he would
tako his own course, without regard TO
what the Legislature resolved. Senator
Sherman made vigorous speech, going
over Lamar's record, and showing him to
be thoroughly unit on constitutional
grounds for the place. Senator Edmunds,
who led tho speaking, made an argument

by an accident before going to the whita
House. The boy was killed ia a railroad 40
cident. As President Buchanan was bach
eler and his unmarried niece, Miss Harriet
Lane, was his presiding lady, there were no
children then till the advent Of Lincoln, who
had three boys, Robert Willie and Tad.
Robert was at Harvard during four years OF
his fathers presidency, but Willie and Tad
were boys. Willie, aged IL, was taken sick
during the dark war days of the winter Of
1862, and died in two weeks. After his death
Tad became more than ever a favorite with
the president, who took him about with him
a great deal, especially on his visits 70 the
army In Nirginia. Tud lived TO be IS years
old, when he died IN Chicago, about fifteen
years ago
Andrew johnson brought flvo grandchil-
dren TO the White House, the children Of his
two daughters Mrs Patterson and Mrs.
Stover. While they were all there together
chlldrons party was given, during which
the presidents invalid wife came down into
the drawing room Tor the first and only time
during his occupancy OF the White House.
President Grant brought family Of chill
drcn into the executive mansion, the most
marked OF whom was Nellie, now Mrx Sar-
toria An incident occurred during her
fathers Inauguration which must have had
q pleasing effect on those who witnessed it.
While her father was reading his address
Nellie, alarmed at some shouting which oc-
curred, left her mother, ran to her fathers
side, caught his hand and held it until a
chair was placed for her beside him. Then
sho sat IN it till the address was finished.
Nollie seems to be a fnted namo for Tho
White House. There was Nellie Custis,
Nellie Grant and then Nellie Arthur. But
Nellie Arthurs homo during her fathers
administration was chiefly with her aunt,
Mrs 1lcElroy, at Albany, n. Y.
Both President Hayes and President Gar
field were men Of family. The Hayes boys
are now grown, az are most Of the sons OF
Garfield. In each case thero we're several
boys and one girl Mollie Garfield is now
grown, and Fanny Hayes must bo well along
in her teens,
OF all the children who have dwelt with
presidents the most engaging and beautiful
was Nellie Custis; Of all the sons Of prosi-
dents tho greatest was John Quincy Adams,
and Of all the daughters OF presidents the
most beautiful was Abigail Adams. To no
other American family has such a rare eni-
nencs been accorded.

shall doubtless hear many things this season
which are only good tin after the election.
Tho various labor, temperance, Know
Nothing and Greenbacker parties have ef-
fected much, not by running elections, but
by compelling other parties to accept some
OF their views But, Of all the third parties,
none attained to such dignity, exerted such
power in its time or promised such important
consequences as the so called "Union" or
Beli-Everett party Of 1860 These candidates
received GO, Ia popular votes and the cleo
toral votes Of Maryland, Kentucky and Vir-
ginia. 1t was no small compliment 10 the
great orator. Edward Everett, that the
names of tho candidates were always Joined
in the popular speech and hyphenated in the
press. II was universally recognized that
the candidate FOR vice president was the
more national and prominent Of the two
and so the ticket was uniformly printed and
pronounced Bell-Eyerett.n And it is an
amusing comment rather a satire, on the
vagueness az party platforms that whilo this
party took the name OF "Union,n and pro
fessed TO DO organized especially TO hold
north and south in close friendship and dis
countenance agitation" yet in six months
after the election Mr. Everett was support
ing the most extreme measures OF the Lin
coin administration, while Mr. Bel was
ardently supporting jefferson Davis. Buh
those were days in which men moved and
scenes shifted very rapidly.
John Bell was already an old man when
the war began, having been born near Nash
vile, Feb. lS 1TY7, but be had been for forty
years power in Tennessee politics. He was
elected to the state senate when but 30 years
old. In 1887 be defeated Felix Grundy-
next to Andrew Jackson the most popular
Democrat IN the state-and entered congress
70 stay many years In 1884 he was chosen
speaker against James Il. Polk. In 1885 he
turned tho state against the Democrats for
ths first time He Aftcrwnrd served In the
United STATES senate, where he was de-
nounced as that unusual being, "a southern
man with northern principles" Edward
Everett, on tho other hand, was occasion
ally, but not so fiercely, denounced as yield
ing too much TO the south. He was born in
Dorchester, Mass, April II, 1874, and was
noted as a scholar at the early age Of IS He
was rated for years as the greatest orator Of
his time and after an active official life his
last political act was, as elector at large, To
cast the vote OF Massachusetts, for Lincoln
and johnson, in 1866, and his last public ap-
pearance was in an address asking aid for
the people OF Savannah, Ga He died iusi
before the close Of the war.
