The fact that there are two sides
to every question receives fresh IL
Iustration in the story Of Mrs. Ferry.
who has been telegraphed over two
continents as the faithless wife of
the Tacoma capitalist. The woman's
side of the story now appears, where
in she alleges her innocence of the
charges preferred against her aud
declares her lord to be anything but
a model husband, or even an ordinary
gentleman. The public now has the
sworn statement Of both parties to
this most disgraceful matrimonial
alteration, and can exercise the
royal privilege of believing which,

The strike fever seems to be
spreading to an enormous exte ut in
Germany. 1t is one way of indie at

the present order of things, and
ought to be a lesson 10 the young
emperor. 1t would be much more to
the purpose if the municipal authori-
ties of Berlin and the government
would use the large sums they pro-
pose to spend in entertaining King
Humbert in relieving the distress of
the people. Humbert, however, can
sympathize with the young emperor,
as all is not bed of roses in Italy.

They lived happily together until the
outbreak of the war, when the hus-
band shouldered musket and went
to the front. He served throughout
the rebellion and at Its close went to
St Louis. From there he wrote
letter telling her to sell the commun-
ity property and rejoin him, as he in
tended to go to California. She com
piled with the request, and on her az
rival at ST Louis she gave her husz
band what money she had and he dis

hind. She returned to her home in
Wisconsin. and iD 1881 she came to
California. In this city she met and
man named Teemer.
Several years ago Mrs. Teemer WIS.,
tied the Napa Insane Asylum. where

thing that astonishes me is the amount
of energy the man was constantly ex-
pending, up early in the morning,
writing letters, planning Improvements
for or visiting his plantations and en-
couraging and instructing his over
seers both at seed time and harvest,
directing carpenters, millwrights and
men at almost every kind of work that
he carried on to develop and improve
his plantations He had three fishing
landings on his estate. ferry and two
mills. These were all created by hia
own energy, foresight and manage
ment. He was in the habit of con-
tracing with merchants in Alexandria
or Norfolk to take all his hour-for the
season and all his catch of fish, both
herring and shad. other than what he
reserved for use on his plantations.
The fish were owned and stored
at his own fish-house, but at the risk
of the merchant contracting. He was
a thorough business man, neglecting
aOtulug tudt prOn1SeO a revenue anu
return for labor. He supervised all
his farm arrangements. He made
with his own mechanics, plows and
harrows, repaired the farm machinery
at his own shops and made substantial
improvements upon the pillow in use in
his day. After the revolution, when
he enlarged his mansion at Mount
Vernon and laid out the land at the
west of the house in an ornamental
manner, he endeavored to transplant
to it specimens of nearly every matt re
tree that could at all add to its beauty
or novelty. and his diary says that
while riding through the woods or
surveying wherever he saw a hand
some specimen of some tree not already
planted he would take note of its To-
cality, and at a proper season would
have it removed and planted in the
western lawn at Mount Vernon

UNBORN INDUSTRIES.

Though They May Never See the Light,
Yet They Must BE Protected.
The demand for protection to infant
industries has had greater growth
than the industries themselves. With.
in the last year or two this protection
has been asked for infants yet unborn.
This was noted last year in the dis
cussion of the Mills bill, when the
placing of tin plate on the free list
was vigorously opposed. It was
argued by the friends of the bill that
there was no tin plate manufactured
in this country, and that tho Govern
ment did not need the revenue; the re-
ply was tn at there was a fellow some
where in the United States who con-
templated establishing a mandatory
to make tin plate within few years
if he could see his way clear in MAX
ing it pay; and, for the protection of
this industry unborn, we are paying a
tariff of one cent a pound on the ma
terial of many articles of universal
use.
1t seems we are not laying enough
tax on this article of prime necessity.
The Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association, while admitting that
our importations of iron and steel are
about as small as they have ever been,
refers mournfully to the fact that we
are importing increased quantities of
tin plates from Great Britain, and
calls for such an increase in the duty
as will enable this country to supply
its own tin plates.
AS a specimen of the arrogance OF
protection, this demand is worth re-
membering. 1t is nothing to this IA
vored interest that the cost of the la
borer's dinner pail shall be doubled.
