The New York World favors the grant
ing OF pensions to the widows of the JUS
tees Of the Supreme Court. 1t saws:
ACbief J0stice suTrenders himself prse-
tically tor life to the Government when he
accepts his appointment. He is granted
a psGSiDT when superannuated, upon the
principle that no shall not permit any
anxiety for the wants of his old age TO pre-.
vent him from giving his whole attention
10 has dates. Bat the object of granting
the p~snSiOn is not gained when Re is still
troubled with the thought that his wife
will come to want If he dies before her. His
wants cannot be met in this particular IN
less hers are also.
Tue FOrld further remarks that the
widow of an Associate Justice should be
similarly considered"
Wouldit not be a better plan to pay these
distinguished public f~unctiOnaries a salary
that could be regarded as sufficient TO al
low them to lay by something? They
might then make provision for their fami-
lies Ike other men whose anxieties are not
mi!igated by the enjoyment of life offices
and high salaries - for surely the only
good argument for the pensioning of the
widows OF these Justices can be found in
an admission that their pay is inadequate.

After the war, when things looked very
gloomy, W. j. Jordan of Sumpter county,
Florida, took a unique way of expressing
his belief that the country was gone to the
dogs. The stamps which he placed upon
letters were put on upside down. As
things improved, according to his view,
he gradually turned them a little, and
when Cleveland took his seat az President
he began putting his stamps on his en-
velopes right side up and in their proper
place.

Her Spirit Pictures Reproduced by Natural
Means.
New YORK, April 27.-The examina-
ton into the case of Nine. Dis Debar and
her alleged co~-conspiritors was continued
to-day. The frat witness, d. F. Carvalho,
a photographer, exhibited the trick OF pro-
duciDg q portrait in colors of Adelaide
Nelson upon an apparently blank piece of
paper by rubbing q wet sponge over it.
He acknowledged that he could not pro.
duce a portrait in oils upon a blank car
vas.
William Ferran, a reporter, testified that
General Dis Debar had acknowledged to
him that he was not married 10 the
madame; that he had a wife in Philadel-
phia, and that he had been married at
Cincinnati; that he had bought canvas,
paints and oils at an artists supply store
and had taken then to "The Temple"
where be used them in restoring pictures.
The remainder of the session was &C.
cupied in listening to the testimony Of
spiritualists, all of whom declared their
belief in the mediumship OF the madame,
and several of whom had seen the pictures
of her producing in the progress Of ma
FERTILIZATION on the anvas. One of these
was the venerable John O'Sullivau, ex-
Minister to Portugal.

in reference to John the Baptist was de-

er q certain sum of money had been paid.
The defendant introduced one Fox. who
swere roundly to the fact of witnessing the
payment.
The most rigid cross-examination failed
to shake his testimony as to the circum-
stances. But when the counsel began to
press him with questions intended to test
his intelligence severe ordeal for the
average witness-things became interest

TIE TARIFF AMI wAGEs.

The REGISTEE has frequently observed
that the rate of wages in no part of the
world is influenced by a tariff one way or
the other. We find the following eommu-
nieAtion on the suhjecti in the Philadelphia
Record, which states the case conciseiy:
The advocates of o protective tariff are
fond of comparing the condition Of the
wOrkingman in free-trade England with
that of the United States. This is o false
argument. because the condition of the
EogliSh w~orkingman is not caused By free
trade, but is determined by many other
causes. England is much more thiekly
populated than the United States, and this
so-called iron law Of wages, the law Of
supply and demand, prevails in that c0uu-
try to its full extent. In Australia and
New Zealand, parts of the British Empire,
wages are quite rs high as in this country.
II we contrast the workingmen of free
trade ENGLAND with those of protected
Germany, France and Italy, all of which
countries are about equally thickIy popu-
lated, We will find the former quite as
well off IS the latter. Indeed, they get
better wages.
W "sscS

ulated solely by the iron law Of wages
the Law Of supply and demand-and the
onty eject OF our protective taIlh IS to has

Il the -workingusn will pauss a moment
aud think ON this subject thew will be con-
WINGED that thew owe not a cent of their
alleged high wages to the tariff. For in
stance. cav the United States instead of
60. O0O. 600 or 20, coo, 600 of population, hId
200, 600 600, with Just 40 many more men
10 every job, does any sane man believe
that even a p~rOhibitOry tariff would keep
the rate Of wages from falling in proportion
10 the increased supply Of workmep?
