SMALL AND EARLY.

When Dorothy and took tea, we sat upon the
floor.
No matter how much tea drank. she always
gave me more:
Our table was the scarlet box in which her tea
set came,
Our guests, an armless, one-eyed doll, a wooden
horse gone lame.
She poured out nothing. very fast-the teapot
tipped on high
And in the bowl found sugar Jumps unseen by
my dull eye
She added rich (pretended) cream-lt seemed
willful waste.
For though she overlooked the cup il did not
change the taste
She asked; Take milh.' or Sugar? and
though answered NO"
Sne put them In and told me that 'n2ust take
it sor'
Sne d say: Another cup, papa? and 1: mo,
thank you. ma'am."
But then had to take it-her courtesy was
sham.
STILL being neither green, nor black, nor En-
1t did not give her guests the '.nerves'-what-
ever those may be.
Though often upset my cup, she only minded
when
would mistake the empty cups for those shed
I'LL again.
She tasted my cup gingerly, for fear I'd burn
my tongue;
Indeed, she really hurt my pride-she made me
feel so young.
I must have drank some two-score cups, and
Dorothy sixteen
Allowing only needful time to pour them, In
between.
We stirred with massive pewter spoons, and
slipped in courtly ease.
With all the ceremony of the stately Japanese
At length she put the cups away. Good night

And I went to a real tea, and Dorothy to bed

The removal of T. B. Fowler

safe to say, is not in the line Of the

has expressed no desire to resign.

PoRTER's QUEER EDIcTs.

A Man Who Should Be Closely Watched
by All Honest Citizens.
Every thing that Census Superin-
tendent Porter does seems to be
viewed with suspicion, and the singu-
lar part of it is that about every thing
Mr.. Porter does il calculated to arouse
suspicion. When he was appointed it
was proclaimed all over the country
interest of the monopolies, who relied
on him to manipulate the census sta
tistics so as to make favorable show
ing for the protectionists. Possibly
the accusation was unjust, yet it IS
certain that Mr. Porter has done
nothing in his own vindication. On
the contrary, every move that he
makes is calculated to confirm the i'm
preston that went abroad when he
was first appointed. Not long ago it
was suggested to him that the census
force should be appointed in the way
p rescribed by the Civil-Service
law. This suggestion was scout
ed by Mr.. Porter, and he
made an elaborate argument to
show that examinations for ap-
pointment would be detrimental
to success in census taking. just as
the country had made up its mind to
let the census superintendent have his
way about it. he reverses his opinion
and decides that examinations are
necessary. But he doesn't propose to
allow the Civil-Service Commission to
have finger in his census pie. SO he
announces that he will establish an
examination system of his own. indie
pendent of the Civil-Service law and
rules. just where Mr.. Porter gets
his authority to establish q system of
special examination Is not apparent
1t occurs to us that, if examinations
are desirable at all, the census super
intenden: should be governed by the
general law, which does not except his
bureau from its operations. This
special examination business is really
suggestive of son of Africa being con-
cealed in the census wood-pile some
where. At all events, it will be nee
essary for the people of this country
to keep their eyes skinned while Mr..
Porter is taking the census. We want
an honest census, and nothing short of
that will satisfy the people-St Paul
Globe.

CONCERNING WAGES.


Baneful Workings al Tariff for the Benz
eft of Aonopolists-
In their campaigns the favorite
argument of the friends of q high
tariff has been the statement that pro-
lection increases the wages Of work.
men. and its absence acted with the
opposite effect Such theories they
have preached from one end of the
land to the other. and they have often
found it effective with people who do
not care to investigate for themselves
and discover the falsity Of such con-
clusiOn-
England is the highest type Of low
tariff country, and it has not yet be-
come generally known in the United
States that wages are advancing
greatly there. accompanying the
steady Improvements of trade in all
parts of the United Kingdom This
has been accomplished SO quietly that
little public attention has been at
tracted to the matter, even in Great
Britain herself During the latter
part of last year the coal miners of
Lancashire. Yorkshire and the mid
land counties of England obtained an
advance in wages of ten per cent Some
time ago they asked for another adj
vance of the same proportion. and.
after little delay, it was conceded
them that they should have an in
crease of five per cent. the first of this
month. followed by five per cent on
top of that at the first of October.
These satisfactory conditions are
not confined to the coal miners of
Great Britain, but 1ron-workers, slip
builders and employees in all kinds of
manufactures are rejoicing in an in
crease of wages. These pleasant re-
suits have been brought about without
recourse to strikes. and are the natural
consequence of Great Britain's i'm
mense trade monopoly, secured by adj
laws
In the meanwhile, things are not
going so well in the highly protected
United States. Thousands of work.
men in the iron region of Pennsylvania
are on strike; the $500 employees of
Carnegie must take great reduction
in wages; at Brazil, Ind. the coal
miners will have to make a choice be-
tween starving on scanty pay or
starving without il; at Braidwood,
Ill. they are in the same condition;
throughout the Union it is story of
strikes and restitution. all under the
sheltering and beneficent wing of the
high tariff. Great strikes are of such
common occurrence here that they
have ceased to be news. In England
there has lately been only one-that
of the seamen at Liverpool and Glas-
gov. As wages go up with the En-
lish, they go down corresponding
distance with US.
These baneful workings Of the tariff
are becoming so plain that the people
can not much longer remain blind to
the facts which are every day forced
upon their notice. Here are two ma.
lions of the same Anglo-Saxon race; one
enjoys over the other immense adj
vantages in the way of extent and free
government; they employ precisely OPP
posite commercial systems; in the
small, overcrowded country the masses
are daily improving their condition
and increasing their earnings; in
the other. where, under the same con-
ditions, it is much easier to prosper,
their wages grow smaller every year.
How can we ignore these things?-
