Saturday afternoon reporter stood
watching the employees of one of the
largest moroceo factories In the city
getting paid. About 200 men were in
line, and as they crowded and surged up
the marrow steps to the aperture through
which she cash was put, many of them
appeared 20 anxious TO get there In time
that they seemed to dread that all might
be gone before they were paid. The
writer was FIRST impressed with
the belief that those anxious ones
were either in hurry to
return to their work, or to 60 for dinner,
but this belief was dispelled when he saw
those who had done all the crushing and
pushing, hurrying along to the nearest
saloon without even taking time to trans
fer the cash to their pockets. The men
who came afterwards did no pushing,
carefully counted the money on receiv.
ing u, transferred II to their pockets
and then went their way. Rum attracts
more powerfully than a magnet.

The census enumerator called at the

Chinese Justice,

London Standard.
In China acts of homicide or MUIR
der committed by lunatics are rare in
the extreme. In that country the
iron hand of justice works inexorably
and the plea of insanity is not ad-
mitted as a mitigation of punish
mept. In the last Imperial Gazette a
laborer was sen fenced to death in the
usual manner appointed for the crime
of parricide, while the relatives, who
had neglected to inform the district
authorities that the man was insane
were each sentenced TO receive one
hundred blows with a stick. Ac-
cording to western ideas, this pun
ishment of a lunatic is cruel; but
there can be but little doubt that the
severity adds largely to the protection
of the public, as is evidenced by the
rarely of crime by lunatics in China.
There are few lunatics so mad as to
be altogether deficient of self-control,
and the knowledge possessed by all
Chinese that, whether mad or sane,
they will be punished for any crimes
they may commit, acts upon all alike
as determent.

UNITED AND ENTHUSIAsTIC.

UNITED AND ENTHUSIASTIC.
There have been few campaigns in this
State in which the Republicans of New
Haven county were more united and en-
thusiastic. This happy condition of things
is largely owing to the fact that such good
nominations have been made. Of course
Lieutenant Governor Merwin's name is a
tower of strength in thislneighborhood.
The Republicans are glad to have an op-
portunity to show their admiration of and
respect for him. His associates on The
State ticket are all that could be desired,
and harmonize well with it's head. Mr.
Hubbard, the nominee for congressman,
is of the right sort. He is man of the
people, he has taken an active and credita-
BILE part in the struggles for free
dom and the Union, and is a
worthy representative of the toilers
and producers. Leutenant-C Colonel Lee,
the nominee for sheriff, is very strong
candidate. He has the respect and good
will of all who know him and the hearty
friendship of many in all parts of the
county 1t looks now as if he would sur
prise those who have looked upon the cleo
ton of Tomlinson as certain. In this city
we have in Mr.. Hamilton candidate for
State Senator who has special fitness for
senatorial work, and the other candidates
who have been nominated are good ones.
No wonder the republicans are industri-
ously and hopefully at work. They have
good principles and good men to work for.

lamentation, the whole coaeh-load, driver

GUS Highlanders standing as high as the
lurching of the coach would let them,
pounding their palms and each others

ments, each almost singing his wildly ear

English ears, and all reaching climaxes of
eloquence or hurting thunderbolts of doc
trinal logic, with a half-yelled ssNis.-

But far up the strath our horses were
changed at a little clachan. Then here
and there, where foot-paths turned to the
heights above or the valley beneath, peas
ant doctrinaries one by one descended and
disappeared with departing shot of
scriptural ferocity, harder and fiercer
than all the granite crags above us. The
shadows crept in and were marshaled in
dark phalanxes in the strath-bed far down
there, thousands of feet below. The riv-
er, now broad and CLASSY, now a foaming
torrent, and again feathery waterfall,
only disclosed its course in sound. Hints
of great hunting lodges, like castles, We're
revealed by ghostly turrets sharply cut
against the leaden sky above the darken-
ing trees, or by tremendous gates before
great avenues of sycamores, or by Everied
servitors standing at the roadside to catch
the mail-pouches flung to them as We rat
tied by. And finally, five little fiaxen
heads, apparition-like bobbing beside the
coach, and growing and shouting to the
"Pappy" beside me, told me We were at
last in the heart of grand Strathglass; and
that the great square pile behind the lar
ches, from which the welcoming lamp and
fire light shone, was the sweet old Manse

There are at least two sides to the tariff
question. One Of them receives illustra-
ton in the button business. A few years
ago in the single city of Newark, New Jer-
sey, twenty-one factories were busily en-
ployed turning out pearl buttons and en-
ploying thousands of workmen at high
wages Congress was misled into reduc-
ing the duty, and almost instantly the
market was flooded with pearl buttons
made by Austrian and Bohemian peasants
at wages sometimes as low as five cents a
day, and with buttons made in Austrian
prisons, the product of which is forbidden
sale in Austria and consequently poured
wholly ON the United States. Four-ffths
of the Newark button factories closed.
The new tariff protects the button indus
try. One of the button makers says: I
have just ordered new machinery and I
shall double my working force as soon
as I put it in. Last week my
men asked for an advance of 10
per cent. in their wages, and they
didn't have to ask twice. They got
it. They have been making when at work
from sig to S15. Now they will get as
high as $18 and will have steady work. l
already feel the effects of the new law in
the orders coming in, but the real benefits
will come by and by. You see, the i'm
porters had plenty of warning of the tariff
law and they laid in big stocks of imported
buttons-enough to last for some months.
But men who have been waiting and hun
gering for years can bide little time like
that to reap the harvest that is coming.
At present there are less than 200 persons
employed at pearl button making in New
ark and their work has been pecacious.
Two years from now you will see 5000
men at work all the year round in this city
alone. Last year the total output of ali
the Newark factories was only $4,000
In two years the output will be SO, 100000
This great increase in work will benefit
Newark even if it does not meet the ap
proval of the free traders.

during his visit to a little Silesian town,
whece certain military maneuvers were
conducted recently. The Burgomaster
took it upon himself to introduce various
of the town dignitaries to His Majesty.
Fourteen of them were standing in a line
and the Mayor began as follows: s.Herr
Peter Paul Schmidt-His Majesty, the Ger
man Emperor, King of Prussia, Margrave
of Brandenburg. Herr Heinrich Wilhelm
Sauerkraut- Majesty, the German
Emperor, King of Prussia, Margrave of
Brandenburg." When the Burgomaster
proceeded to introduce Herr Leiberwurst
to His, ETC., etc." the Kaiser interrupted
him, laughingly, with the remark: "That
will do, Herr Burgomaster; I suppose the
gentlemen know who I am Just mem
ton their names and then there will be
some prospect of little refreshment be-
fore nightfall."
Recent improvements in small arms, the
introduction of smokeless powder, and the
consequent possibility of battle between
far distant forces, have directed the atten-
ton of military men on the continent to the
necessity of clothing soldiers in less con-
spicuous uniform. The reform in question
has been discussed at length in France,
although the comparatively modest shades
of the French uniforms give far less cause
for apprehension than the classically bril-
liant garments of the German military.
The polished helmets, the scarlet and blue
of most German soldiers, the white collars
of the Cuirassiers, and the rainbow tints
all over the Hussars make the wearers so
remarkably distinct to the eye at long dis
tances that the destructive work of hostile
infantry or artillery is greatly facilitated
Even when behind an earthwork or in a
trench the infantry is betrayed by the long
protruding metal spikes of the helmets.
Russian and French infantry are almost
invisible when they lie on the ground, and
when marching at distance are exceed
ingly indistinct targets.
