AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Boston Journal recently presented
its readers with an object lesson showing
the benefits of the protective system which
has created a furry in the opposition camp.
The journal selects the article of cotton no.
siery as the subject of its object lesson. The
dutiable value of imported cotton hosiery
is stated at Sc, 389, 325 for the last year. 1t
is assumed that the pending tariff legislation
will keep all this imported product out and
that in consequence American factories will
do the work now done abroad. The estimate
is that forty knitting-mills and extensive
yarn-mills will employ 10000 knitters and.
spinners whose weekly wages Yiliamount
to S123000 The Illustration accompanying
this estimate represents fifty factories sur
rounded by~30O0 houses and long lines Of
Locomotives and freight cars employed to
carry the products of the mills to the vari-
Gus parts of the country. The object lesson
is nearly enough true with the understand
ing that for effect the journal has concen-
trated all the mills in one locality. There
is no contention that the work could not be
done in this country. but that it can be done
cheaper abroad. Our free-trade friends who
are so much alarmed at the possible cOnse-
quences of European discrimination against
our agricultural products are invited to take
a second look at this object lesson. The
10000 operatives who would do the work
now done in European factories would con-
sumo 4 portion of the surplus breadstuffs
we now send abroad. We now send cotton
to Europe to be made into articles of wear,
and we send grain and meats to Europe for
the European operatives to consume. In
stead Of sending the cotton to Europe to be
worked up into goods, and sending wheat
and meats to feed the operatives with, we
propose to do the work at home, consume
our own cotton and our own wheat and
meats This result will not be accomplished
in day, but we have been working toward
it ever since 1868. As experience shows
that existing protection is not adequate to
enable US to compete in a certain industry
we add to the duties. When an industry Is
once firmly established in this country
home competition keep prices down to a
fair profit. But our free-trade friends eX-
claim, what will become of our foreign
trade? No one knows exactly what will
become OF it, but it is reasonably certain
that we shall continue TO import articles
that we cannot produce with reasonable ad-
vantage at home.

A MEMORIAL SERMON.
Sermon of DR.. Harcourt on "Decorati
the Grayes of Soldiers"

Sermon of DR.. HRrcourt on 'DecoratiDg
the Graves nf Soldiers"
At the Howard street Methodist Episco-
pal Church last evening the pastor, Rev.
DR.. Harcourt, preached a memorial sermon
by request of Seven Pines Post, G. a. X.
The edifice was decorated with eyergreens,
flowers and the national co lOrS.
After eulogizing the deeds of valor of the
soldiers of our nation, and referring to
trials which they went through in the War
of the Rebellion, the speaker said:
81 like the custom of strewlng flo wers on
the graves of our soldiers. Thank God we
live in au age of the world when the rose
of Sharon is taking the place OF the cypress
vine and the weeping wIllOw-when sepul-
chral tones in the house of God are giving
way TO joyous notes and victorious dOXolo-
gieS. The association of flowers with
tombstOnes marks new era in the worlds
history"
The preacher referred to the war scenes
and incidents, bringing fresh to memory
the stirring and exciting times when Lin
coin issued his call for $4,000 men. He con-
graduated the boys in blue that the battle
flags were fGrled the regiments disbanded
and the tented fields cleared. The decora-
ton of the graves of the heroic dead Is,
nevertheless, he said, patriotic duty-a
debt of honor and affection. But in per
forming these rites we do not seek TO per-
petuate sectional animosities.
For the yanQuished who sleep beneath
the same turf which covers those VINO were
victorious in death We have Only tender
ness. The war is over, and the Union is
preserved, and there must needs be some
pity for the poor fellows who died in vain,
fighting for a cause already lost. No dis
tincti0n should be made between the graves
of Northern and Southern soldiers in places
where both Law under the same turf

BALLOT REFORM.

The Federated Trades has issued an ad-
dress in support of bill embodyiug the
principal features Of the election laws re-
Gently adopted in Massachusetts, New
York, Rhode Island and several Western
States" The two principal features of the
bill are the provision for nomination by
petition and the provision for an absolutely
secret ballot The first condition is defined
by the third clause in the address, which
declares that voters are accorded the right
70 nominate candidates for any or all Of
fees by properly certified petitions, signed
10y a reasonable number (fXed by law Of
qualified electors" The bill provides de-
tails OF procuring nominations in this way.
If we should apply the principles embodied
in the address to the coming compaign
much less Importance would attach to the
action Of the nominating conventions of the
two parties. If candidates were not pre-
scented in whom the people had confidence
it would be the work OF a few days to place
other names on the ticket, from which the
voter when "aloHe with his God and his
pencil could make a selection. But the
Coming campaign has to be fought on the
old lines SO far as the methods Of making
nominations are concerned, An uprising
Of the people may insure the election Of
members Of the Legislature who will enact
q bal!ot-reform law. The two conventions
wiA.nonlinate tickets, and if neither is ac-
ceptaDle to the people third ticket may be
put in the field, ana certainly should be.
But an Independent ticket has to contend
against the tendency of the average voter
to support his party ticket. A good many
voters VIII assume that one of the two reg
uIar tickets will be elected, and not unnat-
Urally cast their votes with their own
party. There are occasions, however, when
the machinery of both parties has fallen
Into the hands Of clearly corrupt men,
which inspire the voters to Independent
action. They sometimes cast party bonds
to the winds. Whether one of these periods
will occur this fall is as yet problem. No
d. body expects anything from the Buckley
convention, and the prospect of an accept
able ticket from the Republican Convention
is not so good as it might be- Most wrongs
right themselves in time. The eROrmity of
a wrong hurries along the day Of retribu-
ton. Whether the robbery to which the
people Of this State were subjected by the
last Legislature is sufficient to spur them to
action remains to be seen. If it is not, one
ortwo repetitions of the offense will suffice.

AN EMPRESS AT CHURCH.
How the Consort of Germany's Rul


How the Consort of Germany's Ruler
Behaves at Service.
When one goes to church with an En-
press and when that Empress is the En-
press OF Germany, Of course he should tell
about it.
1t was last Sunday, cool, bright morn
ing, and the Dome Church was thronged.
The Empress. with a lady of the court,
came in at 10 in the forenoon, taking seat
in loge or royal gallery on the right of the
nave She is of medium size, and there
was nothing in her appearance to in-
dictate that she was other than mid
dle-aged woman who could not afford
expensive dress. She was dressed in long,
dark-mixed garment with cape, a sort of
wooden ulster. dark gloves and hat. She
knelt as she entered her seat, and in a few
moments servant brought her Bible or
book of psalms and ritual. When the choral
service opened she arose with the rest of the
congregation and joined in the responses.
noticed that she exercised her eyes freely
and ms pected the congregation between the
lapses of melody. She is a comedy young
person, with a somewhat severe cOunte-
nance, which she relaXes when in CONVERSE
ton.
An Empress in church is quite like any
body else in church, only more plainly and
economically dressed. | think there were
few women in the Church of the Dome in
Berlin last Sunday SO plainly dressed as
the Empress of Germany.-From Berlin Let

SENATOR CARLISLE.

Washington dispatches say that Demo-
cratic Senators are standing back and wav-
ing Senator Carlisle to front seat in The
body to which he has just beeE elected.
Senator Vest is a conspicuous figure in this
act of self-sacrifce. he Missouri Senator
has tr3i6fitl0nal right to the vacancy on
lit Senate Finance Committee created by
the death of Senator Beck, but he has joined
with other Senators in recommending the
appointment Of Carlisle to that vacancy.
The Vice-Presideut will, of course, be
guided by the wishes of Democratic Sena-
tors in Iilling vacancy created by the
death of a Democratic Senator. This action
on the part of the Democratic Senators Is
commondable. The man for whom the I'M
written laws of the Senate are disregarded
has won his reputation in a legitimate way.
What he is he has made himself. He is not
d rich man nor has he ever been charged
with being an attorney of rich corpora
ton. lie reaches the Senate without the
expenditure Of money and without making
pledges thatwill mar his future usefulness.
Il is not pleasant, however, to see man Of
Mr.. Carlisle's prominence giving crcula-
tiOn to such views as are expressed in his
letter to q member Of the Farmers ALI
dUCts III Indt ibllcE Ue ShNS LlhL equal
justice to all and favor. to none is sound
Democratic doctrine, and adds that "if it
had been adhered to in Congress during the
last quarter of a century the evils Of which
farmers and other classes of our people
justly complain would have been avoided
and the whole country would now be pros
porous and contented." II Senator Car
Isle were not a blind partisan he would
realize that the country is prosperous. The
period WITHIN which he speaks of Congress
rs having departed from correct principles
Of government is by far the most prosperous
the country has ever known. Twenty-Five
years ago about all we had was the Union
so much blood and treasure had been ex-
pended &c preserve. We had national debt
approaching in magnitude the debt England
had incurred in series of costly wars
Owing to our lack of credit the yearly bur
den of that debt was greater than the yearly
burden of the English debt. We had just
escaped great national peril with our
lives Now, if Mr.. Carlisle would study
the contrast between the condition of the
country twenty-five years ago and its pres
ent condition he would realize that the
country has prospered and is prospering
The protective system which he thinks so
injurious to the country has been in opera
ton all Of that time. The single term in
which the Democracy has lad control of
the Government was rendered harmless for
i'll by the refusal Of a Republican Senate to
accept the Mills-CarliSle Tariff Bill.

wife lies buried. he simply shakes head
and, pointing to the grave, says: Maybe
she was buried there, too"
Surely as one looks at these mounds of
earth and thinks of those long buried there,
reviewing their lives and works, he is at
loss to account for this seeming neglect.
Who is there who can read the works of
these great masters and not love them, toop
But we must stop moment. for there is
one whom we have not mentioned. 1t is
ThOreau. You doubtless know of him, and
are familiar with these vivid scenes which
he has drawn, enacted in the wilds of
Maine.
For years his grave remained unmarked,
but, thanks be to the generous impulses Of
Mr.. Thatcher, a handsome monument of
Maine granite stands over his grave, and
contains the names of his wife and children
buried there. This deed is a most worthy
one, Thoreau having been only distant
relative to Mr.. Thatcher, and the quiet
manner in which it was effected reflects
great credit upon him. AS long as it marks
the grave of Thoreau it will also stand af
reminder of the generosity of him through
whose kindness it was erected.
