An Old Fashioned Belfrv.

Since bells have been used to call con-
gregations to worship a tower or Ecll
gable has formed an important part in
most churches. Sometimes this tower
is quite separate from the rest of the
church. This is often so in Italy, and
also in the case of some English churches.
In hilly countries the church was often
placed in sheltered valley, and the
belfry perched on the top of some height
near at hand. This was the case Of st.
Feve, in Cornwall, and at some places
in Scotland. Instead of building Il bel
fry it was not Unusual in Scotland to
hang the bell upon some convenient tree.
Two hundred years ago this rude con-
trivance might often have been seen
there.-Exchange.

IA thousand pardons, Signor Ferucci
but these are family matters"
Ferucci started to step aside. Monte
forte held him where he was.
"You can stay, my dear fellow. You
know in advance all that Don Agostinc
can have to say to me-"
every well, monsieur" said the father
in-law stiffly.
He took his position, knit his thick
brows in an Olympian fashion, tried tc
petrify his good natured face, and began
"Monsieur, it is with the indignation
of an honest man, of a father Or
"Oh!" interrupted Orlando, "if you
begin that way it will be long. Pass on
pass on, Don Agostno; l am familiar
with the TRADE"

have all the audacities. To the impro
priety -the-to-of your conduct
you add audacity. YOU
"Well, what is it that you want oil
me:" asked Monteforte.
"Your wife awaits you, monsieur. As
she is mindful of her duties she perhaps
will consent to forgive your unspeakable
conduct"
"Ah! good evening, Don Agostino,
answered the young man simply, passing
his arm under Ferucci's.
"Monsieur! monsieur!" cried Don
Agostino, clinging with all his might to
his son-in-law's garments: monsieur,
this conduct is not handsome. But we
will say nothing to you; we will pass the
sponge over the past. Come back now
to your wife"
Orlando stopped. The expression OF
his face was severe, almost hard. Cleans
darted from his eyes; and the old man,
frightened, no longer recognized in him
the son-in-law that he knew.
Monteforte answered coldly:
"No, monsieur. You know how
entered your family! And God knows,
however, what good will brought there,
in spite of everything. But we have not
been able to arrange things satisfactorily.
l need my independence, and wish to
owe nothing to any one. l resume my
pride, which have sometimes, through
weakness, allowed to be injured. Go
your way; l go mine. We are not made
for each other"
And this time, without possible return,
he saluted Don Agostino and went away,
without ostentation as without anger.

An Unkind Question.

''See that notch ON my finger nail:" said
one gentleman of leisure occupying a
seat in the City Hall park to another
equally tranquil person.
Yep"
"Well, made that when l borrowed
the last V. It's the only way kin re-
member. When 1 borrow V cut a
notch close down at the bottom of my
finger nail, and when the notch grows

"Only what?"
"When ther notch gifts to the top, does

There was a moments silence and
then, with scathing look of indigna-
ton, the first gentleman of leisure arose,
put his digital memorandum book in tho
remnant of pocket, and with cold con-
tempt spread upon his countenance,
strolled away.-New York Times.

"IMy Orlando, if you ,could come back. u
The next day Cardelli looked for the
most deplorable effect when his daughter
should hear the story of this converse
ton, which he greatly softened, espe-
cially SO far as his own words were con-
cerned. But what was his surprise to
find Teresa absolutely calm!
Without anger, she learned the story
and ate; then, when the meal was fin
ished, the young woman went to her
room and sent for the servant.
She left her room at o'clock that
evening with her hat upon her head and
dressed in her finest toilet-that which
she wore on festival occasions.
Then she called Raffaela.
The servant came Immediately, ready
to go out-that is, with gold pins in her
hair and her best shawl over her shoul-
ders
And without taking the trouble to ex-
plain this unusual event-the going out
of woman in the evening in company
with servant-Teresa said with firm
ness that admitted no reply:
Papa and mamma, do not push the
bolts; l may return at very late hour. "
They did not finch.
AT first they were astounded; was not
their poor existence completely upset.
Soon they might be obliged to live
strangely; they did not in the least know
what to expect.
If she could only bring him back, her
Orlando!
But Teresa placed bundle in the
servants hands; only her aunt saw it,
and she said nothing about it, not wish.
ing to worry the others or bring down
upon herself the blame of her niece.
But the poor old maid was very anxious
and greatly bewildered.
Ten minutes after Teresa's departure,
she bethought herself that it might be
the young woman's intentions to fly with
her husband. That would cap the eli

bearing a little note. The directions
were very precise, for he applied directly
to him.
"EXcellency, a note"
"All right" said the young man, start.
ing to put it in his pocket.
"Excellency, it is to be read at once"
A smile went around; most of those
present knew the jealousy of his wife,
and others knew also that he had left
the house. But they raised no question:
family life in Naples is very private
affair.
Monteforte read:
"Orlando, dear husband of mine,
would like to say few words to you.
Will you come out a moment? After
that you can rejoin your friends.

to the house, and prohibited his wife and
sister from visiting the young household.
AS for his daughter, he admitted that
she must obey her husband; therefore.
she would always find the house ready

His banker would send NJ. Monteforte
thousand francs every quarter; he
would see him no more.
This said, he permitted no further talk
about him.

I'M EARNEST ARnuT TT.

1t is refreshing to note the vigor with
which Minister Reid is pushing upon
the French government the wrong to
our farmers inflicted by the exclusion of
American pork from France. The
j ournal has published portions of the
correspondence between Mr.. Reid and
the French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
in which he showed the absurdity of the
ground of exclusion and its injustice.
1t appears in Mr.. Reid's last letter that
the French government has offered to
withdraw its ban from our pork if the
United States would repeal its duty on
works of art. 1t is not duty on
pork of which Mr.. Reid complains, but
the exclusion of American pork from the
French market. To the French Minis
ter's pretext that the ban on our hog
products is due to the unfriendliness
shown to France in the Mckinley bill,
Mr.. Reid replies that the exclusion has
continued during nine years in spite of
the efforts of the United States to show
that the meats exported are free from
disease. The Paris press has taken the
subject in hand since Minister Reid's
correspondence was made public and
the passage of the meat-inspecIion bill,
with its retaliatory clause, had been an
nounced, and every paper sees the mis-
take which the French government
made nine years ago, and the injury
which would come to France if the
United States should retaliate. 1t may
be added that all of the leading Paris
papers approve of Mr.. Reid's position,
and urge the French government to an
null the ban upon American pork. By
his earnestness and persistence, which
is in striking contrast with the course
of his predecessors, Mr.. Reid has
brought this wrong to the attention of
the French people and press; but he
would not have been so successful had
not Congress passed the meat-inspec-
ton bill, which contains these very i'm
portant provisions:
That whenever the President is satisfied
that there IS good reason To believe that
any importation is being made, or is about

WHY THEY HOWL.


To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
The reason for the Supreme Court res0lu-
ton in the Democrrtic platform is as pitt
able as that resolution itself is outrageous
The Supreme Court is assaulted because il
overthrow purely partisan and plainly un-
constitutional legislation. The last Demo-
cratic Legislature. with hunger for Office
as fierce as its Ignorance was dense, passed
an act to provide for its partisans. In this
it followed the precedent set by the dis
graceful Democratic Legislature of 1883,
which passed a law whose only purpose
was to take the Statisticians Office from a
Republican and give 1t to a Democrat.
This. and this only, was the purpose of
these acts. This purpose was frankly
avowed at the time, and is,
by every one, acknowledged now.
The Legislature, whose business is
to pass needed laws. wisely considered and
properly framed, abandoned this high func-
ton and turned itself into a Democratic
convention for the distribution of offices to
the hungry. Decency was thrown out Of
the Legislative halls; public business was
left sitting on the bench of necessity; the
Constitution was erased-all this and more
sans in Office. The Offices of State Geologist
State Statistician, State Oil Inspector and
State Mine Inspector were made elective
by the Legislature only that the Legisla-
ture might fill them with Its partisan pets.
The voices of the Constitution, of political
economy. of experience were ignored. The
utterances of all great statesmen of all
parties and all times were unheeded. Dem
ocratic politicians were out of a job and
must be fed. So these absurd, unconstitu-
tional and void laws were passed.
1t is for overthrowing these acts that the
Democratic platform froIhs at the mouth.
1t is because the decision of the Supreme
Court destroyed this unspeakable game
and took the spoils of that game from the
mouths of its benetciaries that the Demo
cratic platform is made to utter anarchy
and speak denunclation of courts and laws.
The News notes that the platform is silent
on the question of taking the benevolent
institutions ont of politics Does it not
also note that it is the savage hunger for
gar and violent lawlessness? The News
notes that "White-capismn is not de-
nounced. How far is this denunciation of
the Supreme Court from being white
capism" ITSELF How could that conven-
ton condemn "White-capism when guilty
of the same crime itself in its platform
declarationsf
Judges Coffee, Berkshire and Olds did
what they made oath that they would do
support the Constitution. Unawed by
threats they did their duty. They struck
J down these spoilsmen's laws because the
Constitution commanded them to do so.
They called q halt to such reckless partisan
legislation. Hereafter no political party
in Indiana can put partisan measures like
these through the General Assembly. That
body has forever ceased to be a machine To
make sp0ils for office-seekers. And 10 these
brave judges be the credit and the praise.

Naturally, these legal guardians. represent

involves intrinsic values and dollars and
cents. and do not allow their
minds to wander from the main
point under consideration. Animated
by lofty commercial principle, and un-

to unreasoning women. they firmly resolve
to burn coal and wood upon the domestic
hearth until next July, if need be, rather
than pay the prices asked for gas. Instead
of meekly regarding this attitude as noble
resistance to base injustice. the wives and
daughters rise in revolt. Instead of pre-
paring amiably to do their part in routing
the grasping corporation-their part con-
sistng simply in carrying the coal and
ashes for the fires preparing kindlings and
occasionally splitting the cord-wood-in-
stead of lending their willing assistance in

economy, these unreasonable women de-
mand personal sacrifices from the husbands
and brothers. With unheard-of effrontery
they ask al ordinance compelling male
members of the households. under penalty
of fine and imprisonment, to perform all the
domestic offices involved in the use of coal
and wood as fuel This bold stand has APP
parently paralyzed the Shelbyville city

has been made to the women who have no
greater appreciation of the workings of
lofty principle than to interfere with them
in this frivolous way. 1t is to be assumed
that the Council will not be moved from

THE HOUSE LABOR BILLS.

Some weeks ago Washington CORE
spondents raised cry that Speaker Reed
and his associates on the committee on
rules had refused to assign days for
consideration of the bills of the COM
mittee on labor, and proceeded to de-
nounce these gentlemen in their usual
set terms. The members assaulted
made no explanation, and then it was
assumed that the measures of that i'm
pOrtant committee had been pigeon
hOled for the session. Two weeks ago,
however, this much-abused committee
reported resolution setting aside three
days for consideration of those bills.
Several important measures were taken
up, debated and passed. One of these is
the eight-hour bill. 1t provides that
eight hours shall constitute days work
for all laborers, mechanics and workmen
not only employed by the government,
but by contractors doing government
work. 1t also prohibits the use in gov
eminent works of any material made by
convict labor. During the Cleveland
regime complaint was made by labor or
CARNATIONS that stone cut by contract
convicts came in competition with that
of free labor. driving the latter from
the field, but it was not Needed This
is the most comprehensive eight-hour
law that Congress has ever passed.
Another bill was passed during the labor

tains all the provisions which experience
and investigation can suggest, to put an
end to what Representative Buchanan,
of New Jersey, has stigmatized as 'pur-
chased emigration" The House has
been able to pass these bills because the
Republicans at the outset adopted rules
