A Great Country This.

A Scotch lady recently arrived in this
country exhibited great curiosity on
seeing some doughnuts brought to the
table.
What are they?" she inquired.
'They are bread nuts" replied wag

Bread nuts? Do they grow?"
''Yes, they grow on the doughnut tree,
and we call them doughnuts.'
After eating one she exclaimed:

The Araucanian people, inhabiting
the northern part of Patagonia, are of
medium height and great strength, the
principal popularity of formation be-
ing in the narrowness of the front of
the head and the size of the foot. Their
marriage is an odd mixture of ceremo-
MES. Theoretically the bridegroom is
supposed to steal his bride against her
will and in opposition to the wishes of
her parents: practically he buys her.
Strange to say, the match is generally
o ne of affection. AS in Spain, music is
the method of expressing feeling, but,
alas, the instrument is a jew's-harp
without which no lover is ever seen.

MORE FORCE WANTED.
Congressman Lodges Latest Plea in Be
half of His Bill.

Congressman Lodges argument to
prove that there is no force in the
| fraud and force bill excels any thing
of the sort on record. He goes into
figures to show that the voters of the
| United States could not be coerced I'M
der his proposed statute, because there
are not regular soldiers enough in the
country to furnish sufficient detail to
| overawe electors at every polling place.
But what's the matter, Mr.. Lodge,
| with enlisting an extra hundred thou
sand men or so, to make sure that no
vote be cast except at the point Of the
| bayonet? Such plan would suit the
imperialists mighty we'll 1t would
| mean more money to be spent, more
| positions to be filled, more fat contracts
| to be given ont and shorter and
| quicker road for the universal domino
| ton of the Man on Horseback.
1t would not be even necessary to in
crease the regular army, but only to pro-
| vide for the employment and uniform
of deputy marshals at the sweet will o.
Davenport & Co. That would be a glori.
| Gus plan, from the Lodge point of view,
and pretty sure, as the i'm perialist lead
ers look at things, to enable them to
| hire men enough to elect anybody any
| where.
| A curious feature about this argument
of Lodge is his cool assumption that
| soldiers would be needed at every vot-
| ing place at once. Our Democratic i'm
| agination has taken no such flight. We
have assumed that troops would be
only sent to close districts, where the
Federal power would be needed to in
suro a Republican Congressional ma
iority. But Mr.. Lodges partisan fancy
scars far higher. He evidently wants
| to have House of Representatives
| unanimously Republican, and every
man Jack of them elected at the point
| of the bayonet.-N. Y. Star.

Advice Well Worth Taking.

What we expect from the white man
in the South is the utmost tenderness,
consideration and help for the negro.
While there are spasmodic outbreaks of
rufi:lnism toward the negro, disheart-
ening in their character, we believe
that the sentiment as we'll as the inter-
est of the Southern men inclines them
to absolute justice and kindness in
dealing with their colored neighbors
and friends. There let the matter rest!
Let the President keep his hands Off!
Let our Northern people look we'll to
their own homes and mind their own
business. They will find at their
thresholds problems more appalling
than in any Southern community-pov-
erty, want, ignorance, crime and shame,
largely resulting from the manner in
which we govern ourselves and our peo
pie. An observer will see more to
grieve him in a weeks tour through the
mining districts of Pennsylvania than
in a journey to the uttermost limits of
the Southern commonwealths. So, Mr..
President, Senators and gentlemen, let
the South alone! Dismiss the force bill
to the limbo of secession. abolitionism,
nullifcationism and
the other dead and damned 'isms"
which for so long time cursed the Ma
t;op " Hara1d

TARIFF NOTES.

Josiah b. Markley and Amos L. Ebert,
two farmers of Montgomery county, Pa,
the latter OF whom was last year a can.
didate for the Republican nomination
for sheriff, have recently failed.
There has been another large failure
in the wooden manufacturing business.
This time the tariff lightning has struck
Philadelphia to the extent of $50, 900.
The starch makers have held a meeting
at Buffalo to organize a starci trust.
Starch is protected by duty of from 2
to p cents a pound.
A large number of New Englar man
ufacturers of iron and steel have petit
toned congress to remove all du ties on
iron ore, coal and coke, and to reduce
the duties on pig iron, scrap iron and
scrap steel to "a per cent. ad valoIem.
The United States senate has refused
to include the statistics of farm mort
cages in the census to be taken tn is sum-
mer. Is it because light on this subject
would produce a stampede among the
farmers for a reduction of tariff taxes?
There has been great opposition among
tbs importing merchants of New York to
the Mckinley bill for regulating the col
lection of customs. One authority est.
mates that the bill would damage the for
eign commerce of that city to the extent
of $500, OO0, 900 annually. The New York
Commercial Bulletin, which is "A non
partisan paper, says that the bill appears
to have been framed with the intention
OF destroying the import trade Of the
country.
David A. Wells, the greatest s.atisti-
clan Of the United States, estimates that
the additional cost to this country of
steel during the ten years from 1873 to
1887 in consequence of the tarif was
S140, 900, 900.

The Springfield Register contains the
following excellent explanation Of the
work Of an improvement association
such as Rock Island has, and may be APP
piled with equal propriety to Rock Is
land. Read. mark, learn and inwardly
digest:
The statement cannot be repeated too
frequently or too much emphasized that
the citizens OF Springfield should make
an earnest and determined effort to de-
velop our manufacturing interests. The
citizens association Is daily receiving
good propositions from manufacturers
desiring to locate at Springfield. but until
our capitalists are willing to offer the
same inducements as other cities having
less desirable facilities. manufacturers
will locate elsewhere. The Citizens
improvement. association is simply
q bureau OF information. The or
ganiLstion is supported and off,
cered by our best aud most public
spirited citizens, and combines influence
and responsibility. and the prime object
in Its formation was for the purpose OF
gathering aud disseminating reliable in
formation in connection with the manu-
featuring interests and calling attention
to our advantages as an industrial CEN
ter.
II is no puff bureau or boon agency"
established for the purpose of enticing
| capitalists to make investments on illu-
minated statements or generslities. but a
medium OF reliable informstion-a source
from which prospective investors can oh
tain the facts and needed assistance in
their efforts to establish new industries
| II is intended as help TO all who wish
TO locate in this city and develope any
legitimate business, aud its information
is free to all who apply.
The association eheerfully furnishes in.
formation concerning eligible sites, prob~
able cost of ground and buildings, freight
rates on manufactured articles. labor and
its cost, the source from which supplies
will he drs xn, and trade obtained after
the plant has been furnished and put iu
| operation. In brief, the association was
established to assist manufacturers and
capitalists desiring to make investment
here and render all possible aid TO old
and new enterprises that will likely cons
duce to the success OF the commercial in
terests OF the city. The association
should receive the hearty cooperation of
the capitalists and business men In gen.
ersl OF the city. as without their aid il
will be almost useless TO secure any new
manufactures.

lsbors for the purpose OF arranging for q

should be held this year In accordance

Moline that Of last year. at first msni>
tested but little interest and were not

clared their desire TO celebrate the ami
versary as has been done by the Odd
Fellows of the three cities for several
years past. The arrangements were ac>
cordingly carried forward and the invi.
tstions we're already to send out when al

the Davenport gentleman backed out en-
tirely, saying that they did not want q
celebration. This will undoubtedly end
the matter for this year. says the Moline
Republican. as 1t is considered 20 be now
too late for the Moline and Rock Island
Odd Fellows to arrange one on their own
account with any expectation of having
any great number OF visitors from abroad
The anniversary will, however. probs.
bly, be celebrated in a quiet way by the
members Of the order in Moline. The
Tri-Clty association is deemed to be vir-
tuslly something of the past. though the
Davenport members would not withdraw
from the association.
