As a result of the Mckinley tariff

As result of the Mckinley tariff bill the farmers and consumers of this Country will suffer robbery in two ways. On account of 1t France and other European countries have raised their tariff on wheat and corn from l5 to B per cent. coming from this country, while it is not increased from any other nationality. This will reduce the price of food pro- ducts to the great injury of the pro- ducer. And all manufactured arti- cles will cost him more under the Mckinley law. Things are coming to a pretty pass under the corrupt rule of rabid Republicanism.

The TcXarkana Democrat asks .Is Capt. Mat White q candidate for Congress in this district? Will some body that knows please answer this question. It has been reported that Capt. White contemplates per hitting Hon. T. C. McRae to mop the earth with his political remains, though nothing definite is yet known. An analysis of the Democratic ma iorities recently boiled in the coun- ties composing the Third District is not calculated to increase the ardor of statesmen ambitious to succeed MT. McRae; but we take it for granted some one will be found ready to throw himself in front of the Democratic pulverizing machine. -

gan, Rhode Island, Maine, Florida and
MARYLAND it is two hours longer; but
the clauses in all enactments of the
kind contain the distinctive pro-
viso, ''unless otherwise agreed" and
addendum which doubtless owes Its being to
the fact that by the American Constitution
the several States are prohibited from pass
ing any laws lmpairing the obligation Of
contracts. Law or no law it comes to the
same thing with those concerned. As every
where else, so in America, the length of a

As will be seen from the above statistics,
the position of British workmen may COM
pare favorably with that of workmen
abroad. OF course this remark does not ap-
ply to special classes of British workmen,
sucn as those who serve the needs OF the
travelling public, and whose hours are in
many cases unquestionably too long. The
skilled artisan in Britain, as well as the
agricultural laborer, appear, however, when
compared with their contemporaries on the
Continent and the States, to be in a much
better position as regards hours of labor.

altogether, and sometimes, but not always,
from abstinence. Members of the Greek
Church may take neither meat, fish, eggs,
milk, cheese, wine. beer, nor oil on any
Wednesday or Friday in Lent; and
throughout the same season, in the Coptic
Church, no eating, drinking or smoking is
allowed until the service is over in the
church at about P. NJ.
IN DAYS OF OLD.
It is interesting to remember that, when
the rules about fasting were far stricter
among Roman Catholics in England than
they are now, such thing as eating flesh
during Lent being unheard Of, and the fast
days at other times being then much more
numerous than at present, it was very diff
cult for those living inland to get any fresh
fish, caught in the sea, and that the potato
to say nothing of certain other vegetables,
had not yet been introduced into this coun-
try. Tea and coffee were unknown, as also
were tobacco and many other little luxuries
which tend to make day of fasting or ab-
stinence far from intolerable in modern
times. Nor should it be forgotten that eggs
were not allowed on fast days in the Middle
Ages. Cheese, milk and butter were long
forbidden. The permission to eat meat at
the "one meal" on every day in Lent except
Wednesdays and Fridays and the last four
days of Holy Week is very modern, indeed,
nor is it universal.
Another modern innovation is the tolera-
tion of the custom of taking little tea or
coffee with few mouthfuls, which are not
to count at all, at breakfast time, as we'll as
the half meal" which, with certain re-
strictions, is allowed under the title of Col
lation. later on in the day. We fear that.
however convenient and consoling these re-
laxations NAV be to those who profess the
Roman Catholic religion. thsy can have no
interest to the archeologist, except, perhaps,
by way of contrast, In making him wonder
at the marvellous powers Of medieval in
sides. But we must tear ourselves away
from subject which offers much opportu-
nifty for contemplation and research to the
antiquary, the historian, and the student of
human nature.

He Says the Money Was Given TO Haughey
on Account of tho GIue Company.
The answer of Gregor Meyer. trustee Of
the Real Estate Loan and Trust Company,
to set aside certain judgments held by him
against the William A. Baeder Glue Com
pany, was filed yesterday. Mr.. Meyer says
it is true the judgments were obtained by
confession of L. c. Haughey, who managed
the Pittsburg end of the defendant COM
pany's business and was also a member of
the firm, but denies that the judgments were
confessed by him to secure individual in
debtedness, but claims ha. they were for
loans for discounts of business paper and
large sums of money advanced or loaned by
plaintiff to the defendant company from
time to time.
He also says that all the money obtained
by L. c. Haughey at plaintiff bank was
given on the faith and credit of the William
A. Baeder Glue Company, and that the de-
fendant company is still indebted to plain
tiff in the sum of $4,000, and that L. G.
Haughey was not indebted privately or in
dividually to the plaintiff bank.
