The Queens Beef-Eaters.

"Beef-eaters' is familiar name for
the yeomen of the guard, corps organ
lied by Henry VII, for his own protec-
ton on the day of his coronation, Octo-
Der 80, 1885, and which has served as a
body guard of the English sovereign
ever since. The word is usually de-
rived from buffetier, but the etymology
is doubtful, as the yeoman never had
charge of the royal buffet or side-board.
Preston ("History of the Yeoman of
the Guard 1889 suggests that they
may have received their name from a
bird called beef-eater, whose strong,
thick bill bore some resemblance to
their partisans. Indeed, the yeomen
were often referred to as "bill-men, y
because they carried a weapon with a
hook like the beak or bill of bird.
The tower wardens, an entirely diff
ferent body of men, are uniformed like
them, and popular parlance classifes
them all as "beef-eaters. ''-AmerlcQn

great care not to awake him in doing
so. Then he rang his bell violently,
and called out:
"Karl, come heren'
The sharp, stern voice effectually

saw Frederick keen eyes fixed upon
him.

As Karl sprang eagerly forward tc
obey, the money, which had been put
loosely into his pocket rolled out
again, and fell ringing and chinking
upon the floor.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A DEAR LITTLE BRIGAND.

Oh, he is a terrible brigand
All through the long, long day,
With his crimson sash and his fierce mustache
And his hat with its feather gay.
Yes, ne is a terrible brigand,
AS he hides in parlor or hall,
And PUSHES out with triumphant shout,
To capture Mamie or Paul
But he is dear little brigand
When the sun sinks low in the west,
And with sleep in his eyes he drops disguise,
Begging to be undressed.
Yes, he is dear little brigand
When his childish prattlings cease,
And he holds my hand till he's safe in the land
Where brigands are all at peace.

Washington Is fortunate. In other cities the
hanging overhead wire has usually killed. The
newspapers have been full of such casualties In
this city the hanging wire has merely thrown
down a boy and tossed a man several feet, the
shock producing the blisters which, by the admls-
sion OF Senator HOar. might be raised by the
electric-railway wires. so that the shocking and

Mr.. Clevelands letter OF acceptance follows the
general lines OF last winters message and the
great issue OF the campaign Is still the choice be-
tween protective tarin and a tariff for revenue
only, between reduction OF the surplus by cut
ting the internal taxes, rernodelng the tariff on
protective principles, and expending the fund on
hand In seaboard fortincatiOns and public i'm
provsments, and reduction made almost en-
tirely In the tariff and following the lines
laid down by the free traders Mr.
Cleveland shows the same constituencies in the
letter as in the message at the suggestion that he
Is advocating free-trade. Technically, OF course,
he Is not doing SO. The actual legislation pro-
posed for the present moves only slightly in that
direction, abrupt and radical changes which might
endanger domestic Industrial enterprises are dis
ayoHed, and as no new plan is suggested OF rails
Ing the necessary revenue beyond that OBJ
tanned from internal taxation it appears that
even the elimination OF the reform IS
TO be a tarn for revenue only and
not absolute free trade. AT the same
Time the Presidents arguments are the free
traders arguments, and both indicate vigorous
disapproyal OF protection In itself. Indeed the
President assumes Off-hand the correctness OF the
main free trade argument when he finds it "need-
less TO explain" that the tariff duties cause
responding increase In the price both upon i'm
ported articles and upon domestic productions OF
the same kind, ignoring the contention OF the
protectionist that a protective tariff by remov-
ing control OF the market from foreign
monopOlists who sell at low prices
only until home competition Is destroyed, and by
rendering possible competition among the homepro-
ducers, soon causes prices to be cheaper than IN
der free trade. The contention that by the re-
moSal OF duties, foreign markets will be opened 10
our manufacturers In which they will appear as
equal competitors with the manufacturers OF Eu-
rope and that Industrial enterprises viii be sttm-
lated and the condition OF the nottingham irc-
proved by such a course is also free-trade argu-
ment, that is, an argument which points to any
thing short OF absolute Tree trade as a condition
