Few people have any idea of the

period of time of that sold bv single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told bv individuals to the
amount of the alcholcid which thew
have consumed and if it has not been
quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide a comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This
time of year, overcoats are out of season
and the question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-

KNOWLEDGE VS.. THEORY. ,

1t is common practice with certain
class of writers to denounce representa-
tives of established domestic Industries
for occasionally appearing before Con-
g essional Committees when legislation
affecting their interests is under discus
sion However wide the man'sexperience
however long and unsul)ied his business
life, for him to make protest against
legislation inimical to any great indus
try is to call down upon himself the
sneers and abuse of men as innocent of
knowledge of the influence of legisla-
ton upon country's industries as they
are ignorant Of tie detail of those indus
tries.
This wing Of the free trade army might
find it profitable to recall the admission
OF that good Tree trade authority, Prof.
Sidgwick, of England, in laying down
the proposition that "no mere theorist
has the right to dispute the practical
business man of affairs on the effect of
law enacted by nation ON the industry
and labor of the country in question,
unless the said theorist has an equal ar
ray of facts and statistics to sustain his
position" Admitting the correctness of
view, but one conclusion is possible,
when the fact is recalled that clouds of
witnesses in behalf of Protection have
been forthcoming for a hundred years,
backed up by figures from their business
and facts within their experience-and
that these are disputed almost exclu-
sively by men v no have neither their
own experience nor that of practical
producers to support their theories.
The history of manufactures the world
over shows that not supremacy alone,
but the bare independence of nations in
the support of their peoples, 80 far as
manufactures are concerned, has disap-
peared in the face of free trade with
more favorably circumstanced and rich.

Trere is no more philanthropy be-

MOVING DAY.

MOVING DAY.
 May Day is "moving day" in this country and there are signs that it may be moving day in Europe this year. On May 1 in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London and other cities there will be labor demonstrations and there are fears of trouble. In every capital city special orders for police and for troops have been issued, and extensive preparations for the suppression of possible riots have been made. In London there will be no ate tempt at opposition to the la bor meetings on the part of the authorities, though police and troops will be kept in resdi ness for any grave emergency. In France, where the ex- treme socialists seem to have gained control of the movement, the situation wears a very serious look, and the garrison at Paris has been reinforced by eight regi- msnts, whose especial duty 1t will be to pre- vent processions and to arrest "delegations' to the chamber of deputies that are tanta- mount to processions. In the principal cities of Germany outdoor meetings and process sions have been forbidden. Austria appears to have rather overdone the matter, both by such manifestations of force as have already been made, and by threats of the use of grape shot and rifles against the working men if they dare to carry out their proposed program.
 The news from Europe will be very inter- esting next Friday morning, and possibly startling. But the expected does not always, or often, happen, and it is probable that the demonstrations will be carried on pretty peaceably,

A YALUARLE WIFE,

At last it has been legally recognized that some wives are worth more than others, and that the husband of good wife ought to have more damages if she is killed than the husband of poor wife. The case was in Virginia. On the trial evidence tending to show that the deceased had been a superior wife was offered, and, presumably influenced by this, the jury gave the complainant a verdict for six thousand dollars. The de- fendant objected to proof as to the character of the wife, and carried the issue to the highest court of the state. The tribunal holds that such evidence was perfectly proper as a means of estimating the damage and conduct of the wife," says the court, "bs such that her death will cause but little sorrow, suffering and mental anguish to the husband, then the fair and just proportion of the damages to be awarded by the jury will be measured accordingly T wife be loving, tender and dutiful to her bus. band; thrifty, industrious, economical and prudent-as the evidence in this case proved Mrs. Mcconnell to be-then "her price is fsl above rubies," and the loss of such wife, oi such a helpmeet. of such influence, of such g blessed and potent ministry and companion ship,is proper element of damages to be con- sidersd by the jury in fixing the soIatium te be awarded to the husband for tearing he, from his heart and home.
