An Attractive Exhibition

An ingenious piece of mechanism is on
exhibition in the show window Of Frank
J. Murphy's credit store, No. 1T Market
street, which attracts a great deal Of at
tention from the passers-by. The entire
space Of this show window is covered by
a high fortress. with soldiers and cannon
ready for action. To the left is wind
mill in operation; to the right is forrest,
saw mill. with split and circular saws,
saving logs, attended by the soldiers
from the fort. On the side Of the noun
tain runs double tracked railroad over
a suspension bridge The trains can be
seen emerging from tunnels on opposite
sides In the background can be seen q
waterfall coming down from the noun
tain rocks and running a water wheel
On the lower ground are a running foun-
tain and two merry 81 rounds and gon-

to Newport. 1t mas been lurking in the
woods for a long time and things have been
decidedly UNPLEASANT. Sunday afternoon
two women engaged in wool gathering

Of alternating the affections Of her sweet
heart and reproRched her in terms as
forcible as they were inelegant. Words
led to blows and in few minutes Eve of
the dRrk-eyed damsels were engaged in a
deadly hend-to hand conflict The
woman who had begun the fight was
co mpletely knocked ont, and then the
men took hand III the encounter. The
patriarch ot the tribe told them that the
strong arm eff tho law would reach them
if they did not desist. The bellgereut
Bohemians dsregsrded the gypsy's
warning and fought to finish, all Of the
participants being very badly battered ur.

THE subsidists propose to deal with
che unsatisfactory condition Of the
American merchant marine in the indirect
and wrong way. Two plans have been
tried to increase the carrying trade and
both have proved disastrous and expsn-
siVe failures. Subsidies have been
granted 10 steamship Tires without in
creasing the trade between the two ports
where the ships piled. But it did develop
system Of lobbying and log-rolling at
Washington which became national
scandal The scheme TO pay subsidies to
ships, fnds its sole justification in .he
assertion which is false, that the English
ship ping trade Is msintsined by subsidies
Tue English Government does not
pay subsidies to ships, but even
If it were true then the
assertion comes from these people with
bad grace because they are the same per
sons who regard the English policy Of
free trade as false and hurtfuI. Thu
true plan for increasing the shipping
trade is simple and universally accepted
by al persons who have given the matte
any honest thought. The subsidists. o
course, have not done that, and in th
mature of the case they cannot. The

THE errors in the Porter census
enumeration in New York and other
cities sink into insigni6csnce, though
they may determine false congressional
repre- sentation for ten years, when com
pared with the dreadful lnsequences the
arrors have for the Indians. The cities
Of the East and the states in the South
suffer chiefly in pride and from decrease
Of political influence, because Of the par
sfsan unfairness Of the count. But to the
INDIANS it forbodes starvation. The
supply Of rations is regulated by the
number Of Indians, so that every man,
woman and child uncounted by

for the starvation Of the indians, for the
