Tnk-R0ttla Smith.

A recent writer on prison life in
England, Mr.. F. w. Robinson, gives
many saddening descriptions of the
women who pride themselves on being
"hard cases." and who render the lives
of the officials both exciting and bur-
densome. 1t occasionally happens,
however, that one of these prison
characters" may indulge in vagaries
more amusing than horrible. One
such was Ink-Bottle Smith, woman
who risked all her privileges for the
sake of obtaining daily store of that
fluid.
She would take her thimble to school,
fill it with ink, and secrete it in her
hair. Then, on returning to her cell,
she would ingeniously construct an
ink-stand from this same thimble and
bit of her dinner-loaf. When her
thimble was confiscated, and careful
means were taken that she carried no
receiver to school, she still found
means to abstract ink from the bottles.
and thus keep herself we'll supplied.
One day she was returning from
school with the rest of the prisoners,
looking very grave and thoughtful,
but walking with unusual haste. She
would have dashed into her cell and
closed the door, had not the suspicious
matron followed her.
whats the matter, Smith-are you
not well ?" was the inquiry,
Smith put her hand to her head, as
though schooling had been too much
for her.

She nodded.
"Ah! it's not worth while putting
your name down to see the doctor for
that, is tt"
Smith shook her head, and gave
vent to murmuring noise.
'Then why don't you say so? You
are not too i'll to speak,"
Smith groaned and looked dismally
at the matron, who was scarcely able
to preserve the dignity of Office upon
detecting small black riyulet oozing
from one corner of the prisoners lips,
and meandering down her chin. De-
prived of her thimble, she had brought
the ink away in her mouth!
Don't make report of this, urged
she, afterward. Give suffered orfully,

The Good Old Times.

Under Henry I. coiners of false
money were punished by the loss of
their right hands. and other mutila-
tions of various kinds were in common
use, says All the Year Round. In
116O we hear of heretics who had re-
fused to ALLURE their faith being hand
ed over to the church by the civil au-
thorities to be branded with hot iron
on the forehead, have their clothes
torn off from their waist up and
whipped through the public streets.
Boycotting was at that time legal
practice, whatever it may be now, for
the said heretics were not only for
hidden to worship as they desired but
forbidden to enter the houses of ortho-
dox believers, or even to purchase the
necessaries of life.
The popular notion of the crusaders
as an army of Bayards, sans peur ct
sans reproche. is hardly consistent
with the code of criminal law which
Richard Occur de Lion enacted for the
special behoof Of those with whom he
set out for holy Palestine. If any one
of them was convicted of theft, boil
ing pitch was to be poured over his
head, then q pillow full Of feathers
shaken over him, and he was to be
abandoned at the first port the vessel
touched. Whoever killed another on
board ship was to be tied to the corpse
and cast into the sea; whoever killed
another on shore was to be tied to the
corpse and buried with il. A blow
was to be punished by three duckings
in the sea, and the use Of a knife In .
quarrel caused the aggressor to lose
one Of his hands.

ON PROTECTION. WAGES AND
PRICES.
SENATOR Justin s. Morrill, in the North Anne
.t,nlr, rl..rrr !

| SENATOR Justin s. Morrill, in the North Amefi-
can Review
Free trade does not even profess rc-
| gard Tor the wages of artisans, and is
based wholly on the idea of supplying
| the demands of the consumer at the low
est cost. How the armies which deIye
in mines and work in mills and factories
are fed and housed, educated and paid,
does not concern the sdismal science" of
free traders-if only they can be cheaply
paid. They start in the race by chal-
longing the competition of the lowest
paid laborers Of all the world. That
wages under free trade, in such race,
can be equal to wages under protection
is glaringly preposterous. One fresh
illustration of the difference, however,
may not be inopportune. The late great
wage-strike of the London dockmen was
made to obtain an increase of one penny
per hour-6d. (12 cents instead of sd.
40 cents per hour-and the increase of
one penny per hour has been reckoned
as a GROWING victory But the long
shoremen, employed in the same kind Of
work on the docks of New York, are
paid 80 cents an hour for day and 40
cents an hour for night work. Twelve
cents an hour was stoutly resisted in free
trade London, while $50 per cent higher
wages still prevail under protection in
New York.
Protectionists claim, as Bismarck
claims, that protection puts the chief
burden upon the foreigner, who is COM
PEELED to pay the duty or give an equiv
alent by reducing the price Of his prod
ucts. They also claim that, In the long
run, the consumers supply their wants
of ho, IN
out protected home competition. For
example, years ago moquette carpets
brought IS to Sc per yard, but under
protection, and owing to loom invented
by an American, they are now sold at
$1.50 per yard, and sometimes for less.
Bessemer steel rails In 1867 brought $3.50
per ton, but with protective duty the
price In 1885 was only $2S. SO per ton,
and $s9.s3 in 1858. When the American
demand in 1872 exceeded the home sup
ply the British price at once was ad-
yanced from $50 shillings per ton to $50
shillings, and again in 1880 the British
price was for the same reason advanced
from ITO shillings per ton to 200. This
shows how merciless would be the greed
or foreigners were our manufactures
suspended for lack of protection.
Home manufactures planted in every
State alongside of the farmer large
ly save in distribution the heavy
cost and waste of long transportation.
The immediate proximity to farmers of
manufactures is an advantage so great
that the holdings of farmers in every
locality of America where such proximity
exists can readily be sold for more than
fifty per cent. above the price of land
where manufactures have not been es-
tablished, and annually yield much
larger income.

charged servants to demand written
characters" is of interest to every
housekeeper. The Justice enumerated
the evidence in the special case before
him, which was that of butler who
was discharged for marked insolence,
his written character containing a
statement to that effect, and he re-
ceived no other consideration than his
months wages and his board wages for
the unexpired term. The Justice de-
clded that no master or mistress was
bound to give character" to a serv-
ant, though the practice had sprung
up OF servants demanding them. He
said, however, if person gave a
character" it must be true one; that
false one rendered the person giving
it liable to fine of G20O. No action
could lie against person giving dis
charged servant a bad character, if it
was true or if it was even merely be-
lleved to be true, as such paper was
privileged. Another important ques-
ton decided by the Justice was that
the board wages of the servant are not
to be paid him, only his months wages
in case he is discharged. This opens
a wide question. 1t is probable that
an American judge would render a
similar decision in similar case, and
this English decision could doubtless
be cited as precedent in our courts.
The English people are much more
careful in demanding reference from
servants whom they are about to hire
than we are in this country, and an
English servant consequently appre-
ciates more thoroughly the value of q
reference. American housewives, rather
than risk scene, will too often give a
good reference to a thoroughly bad
servant, while servants feel so secure
that they will not be looked into that
they often refer to past employers with
whom their conduct has been most
reprehensible. Such system as this
is thoroughly unjust to employers and
to good servants alike, and goes far to
render the servant question one of the
insoluble problems of our social system.
If there were here a penalty imposed
of 800 for the giving of false "char-
acter" to discharged servant, ladies
would be less in the habit of recon-
mending as sober, honest and indus
trious" women who had been dis
charged from their employ for intoxi-
cation.

infant Travellers,

a popular fairy tale among the chill.
dren Of Dickens time described q land
In which The children took the place oil
the grown people and conducted affairs
in an elderly way, while their parents
/ In pinafores were kept in the nursery
and obliged to obey all orders of their
juvenile superiors. says the Boston
Journal. This state OF affairs seems
amusing In q fairy tale Of old fashioned
days, when the children were supposed
to be kept under strict parental discip-
line. In this sage of young people,
when all are trying to please the chill
dren, from the minister who breaches
Ito reach the young to the fond reIa-
tives OF the child, prince or princess,
there is less novel romance ard more
reality in Dickens fancifnl idea.
Among the most self-dependent little
ones whom one meets are the infant
travellers now often seen in this season
of the year. There recently arrived in
Boston little girl Ct five years, who
had travelled alone from Detroit. "She
probably had never had such good
time in her life" said one Of the ladies'
in the same Pullman car "All the at
tentions possible were bestowed upon
her by the ladies of the car, and the
porter, in whose care she was placed,
saw that she reached her destination
without trouble. The other children
of the car played with her; she had mora
invitations to meals than she could ac-
cept, and she seemed as happy as pos
sible." This child had been forwarded
from her mother in Detroit to an aunt
in Boston. Only few days before, q
party of three children, the oldest OF
whom was ten years, had travelled safe
~ from Boston to Kansas City, each
child bearing tag on which was writ
ten his name and place of destination.
The sleeping car porters say that such
incidents of travel are by no means un-
usual
The children who are not given suffi-
cient freedom, and those who are quite
independent of restraint, are equally
unfortunate. Thackeray has mentioned
Ia his delightful manner the inutility
of close Watching. "How many of our
English princes have been coddled at
home by their fond papas and NAM
mas, walled up in inaccessible castles,
with tutor and library, guarded by
cordons of sentinels, sermoners, old
aunts, old women from the world with
out, and have nevertheless escaped
from all these guardians and astonished
the world by their extravaganza and
their frolics?" In this country and in
this age fewer children are walled up
than in Thackeray's time. Those who
are restrained too much belong to the
fairy story of the sleeping-beauty pc
riod. The independent young Amer
leans will be seen travelling, monopo-
izing the beaches and the piazzas Of
the mountain hotels, making their own
fairy stories after the version imagined
SO pleasantly by Dickens.

could not occur.

Points for the Farmers.

The Sentinel has commented on the
wonderful growth of the cities Of this
State during the past ten years. The
population of tho cities containing 5000
or more ten years ago has increased
about 225, 900. In 1880 there were but
twenty-four of our cities with q popula-
ton OF 1900 or more; now there are
thirty-four such cities in the State.
The marked disparity in the rate of
increase of the city as compared with
the rural population is due TO the devel-
opment OF manufacturing enterprises,
which in turn is largely the result of
the policy of protection.
Each one of these cities forms mar
ket for the agricultural produce of the
adjacent country. The growth of each
contributes to benefit the farmer, by en-
larging the number of those who con-
sumo his products. They furnish the
most important market, the home mar
ket. They take from the farmers in
large quantities articles which will not
bear transportation to distant market,
and thus tend to diversity the staples
cultivated by the farmers, while enhanc-
ing their price.
The Democratic party, which is now
professedly feeling very deep concern
for the farmers, would change all this.
They propose policy which would close
up many OF our manufacturing indus
tries, and depress most of them, driving
those to whom they now give employ
ment upon the land to become the pro-
ducers OF grain and other farm staples
instead of consumers.
We believe that the farmers of Wis.
cousin, when they reflect Oh this subject,
will prove too intelligent to be led into
the support OF policy so clearly opposed
to their own interest.
Senator Brown, Of Georgia.: Not only
that but the price Of land is greatly in
creased by their proximity to and dimin-
tshed by their remoteness from manu-
featuring centers. You may find land
selling at $50 an acre within few miles
OF manufacturing town, and you may
buy the same quality of land at S5 an
acre 80 or 100 miles from manufacturing
centers. And why so? Because not only
the good housewife has a market for her
butter and chickens and eggs and cheese,
and everything Of that character that is
produced upon the farm, but the farmer
himself has market for every bushel
OF corn, wheat, rye, etc., and for every
apple, peach, pear, melon, and every
thing of that character that he makes
upon the farm when located near man
ufacturing center, and he gets the best
price for his corn, -four, meat, and other
necessary articles produced upon the
farm. So, In every view of it, no class
of people in this country are more bene-
fitted by the increase of manufactures
and the diversity of labor, thus putting
down the price of manufactured articles
and putting up the price of labor and
the farm products, than the farmers
themselves. Sentinel

Iowa and the Whisky Power.

We may as well calculate the power of
resurrected whisky this fall. The DOW
er has temporarily gained new lease of
life. Like the dead in the valley, they
have come together until there is q very
great army. The original package sa-
looms are running in almost every town
in Iowa, and making money fast, that
they will divide with the political party
that stands with them. We will waste
no time In guessing what party will get
the benefit Of that power. 1t requires
not the aid OF inspiration to tell before
hand, now. The Democrats in every
county count upon it; and for every
package sold to minor, drunkard or tip
pier the Democrats will get royalty to
help the party, and to continue the sa-
loon in some of it's forms and features,
This is a strong power. The package sa-
loon Is the recruiting place of the Demo-
cratic party. Plans will be laid there,
inspirations will be gained there. The
future veal or woe of the families of
Iowa will be greatly Influenced by these
places. There are good influences
enough in the State to meet and defeat
these saloons at the polls, but 1t will not
be done by the third parties, nor by in
difference, nor by sulking, nor by
scratching, nor by staying from the
polls. Earnest work. school district
work, must be done. 1t is interesting to
study the affiliations of this saloon pow
er. Wherever Democratic majorities
are heaviest, there the liquor power OPP
crates. In the towns and cities among
ignorance and vice the whisky power
finds fellow feeling. The godlike in
fiuences of the State must awake and
come to the rescue. The country home
is all right. All the votes must be
polled. The villages are all right. They
generally turn out. The cities are not
all Democratic, They must be thorough
ly awakened, else whisky takes control
of Iowa. These nests of every unclean
