The Mckinley Bill Certain To Be More -
furious to America than England.
LONDON. Oct. 2o.-In a long speech at w.
castle to-day Lord Granville said the I'd Is
pretended that they were confident of the res 81
of appealing to the country, yet they delayed
dissolving parliament as long as possible. Re-
ferring to the new American tariff he
said: Exaggerated language has been
used with regard to the Mckinley
tariff which will not injure US as much as was
expected. Il is certain to be more injurious to
America herself He added that the measure
would tell against American farmers and
artisans and eventually against American
manufacturers. He supposed that America still
desired to export. She could only get her ex-
ports paid for By imports. But FOR Canada's
protective duties It would be impossible to pre-
vent wholes ale smuggling. The speaker said be
wished particularly to express the opinion
that the new law was not enacted
out of hostility to England. After generally
censuring the government for its policy toward
Ireland, he strongly condemned the practice OF
.'shadowing." from which he said even felon
in England ia exempt.

THE BLAcKsMlTH's APRON.

why 1t Is Always Slit and Generally
Fringed All Round the Bottom.
Every one knows that blacksmith wears
leather apron, and must have noticed that
this apron is often slit and often fringed at
the bottom. As an English legend, it is re-
lated that, once upon a time, Alfred the
Great called all the trades together to APP
point trades king. He declared that he
would make that man king who could best
get on without the help of others for the
longest period. He made feast, and asked
. workman from each trade to come and
bring a specimen Of his work and the tools
used in making it. The blacksmith brought
hammer and horseshoe, the tailor brought
his shears and a new coat the baker his peel
and loaf, the shoemaker his awl and new
pair of shoes, the carpenter his saw and
nice box, the butcher his chopper and joint,
the mason his chisels and carved stone.
The tailor's coat was of such surprising
beauty that all the guests declared themselves
beaten and the horseshoe the bread, the shoes,
the box, the meat and the carved stone were
all thrown aside The tailor was pronounced
trades king by Alfred, and was duly installed.
The blacksmith was angry, and declared that
he would do no more work while the tailor
was king, and he actually shut up his shop
and disappeared.
One day as King Alfred was riding along,
his horse cast shoe, and he was the first to
need the services of the blacksmith, but he
could not get into the shop. Then all the
other tradesmen, including the tailor, tried to
shoe the kings horse; but each one not only
failed but broke his tools, and could not carry
out his proper business until they were
mended.
King Alfred and the tradesmen then broke
open the shop and tried 10 use the blacksmith's
tools. The king tried to shoe his horse, the
tailor to mend the shears, and each one en-
deavored to repair his tools
About this time the blacksmith walked in,
looking very angry. The king, however,
made a humble bow and said 81 was wrong
to be led away by the gaudy color of a coat,
and now revoke my decision and declare the
blacksmith king" All the trades, except the
deposed tailor, begged the smith to mend
their tools. SO he shod the kings horse and
mended the tools of all who had asked him;
but, in order to show his magnanimity, he
made the tailor brand new pair of shears.
The tailor, however, did not reciprocate
the backsmith's Kindness but, while the
others were singing, crawled under the table
and slit the backsmith's leather apron and
cut the lower edge into a regular fringe.
From that day no true blacksmith has ever
thought of wearing an apron that was not slit
and fringed at the bottom.-Electrical Re-
view.

THE PEN1rENT1ARY QUESTION.

Senator Moody should bear in
mind, that is il he expects to get his
penitentiary reformatory measure
adopted, that it is about time he was
putting his plan in shape and submit
ting it to the people for discussion
during the coming campaign. The
present lease has several years to run,
but unless this question is brought
before the people and made an issue
in the campaign no action will be
taken by any Legislature until the
question is forced by the expiration
of the lease, and then the Legislature
will find itself confronted with the
same difficulties that thwarted all
legislation on that question in the
last regular session of the General
Assembly. The time has come when
Tennessee Democracy must pay some
attention to prison reform. The lease
system has too often brought the
good name of Tennessee into disre-
pute and shame to the cheek of a
christian people; scandalous and dis
graceful reports have gone out
rejecting upon men whose names
should be above reproach. The
heated contest over the question in
the general assembly left its bitter
ness and was not creditable to that
body and was perhaps the cause of
some of the bunglesome legislation
that necessitated the call of an extra
session, which cost the State $40, 900,
and, after all, nothing was accom-
plished, and the releasing of the
prisoners was the only alternative
left. A new penitentiary must be
built in any event, which will be
very costly, and the contract should
be so let as to avoid all jobbery or the
appearance of jObbery.
Moreover, it is well understood
that the penitentiary lease control,
has been welding a powerful influ-
ence in Tennessee politics, and will
continue to do so as long as the sys-
tenn is continued. 1t is also plain
that such an influence is not exer-
cised for the general public welfare,
and it is not necessary to present any
argument why Democracy should
free itself and the State from such in
Hupncp
