but there was not room for the second.
She tried several times to force the
second one in, but TO no effect. Sag-
gestions as to what to do were offered
by the lady's companions, and finally
they called an usher, who explained
that they must put q dime" in the
slot, as nothing else would do. Then
they asked him for the nickle they
had already put in, but he explained
that he had no key that would enable
him to get it for them.

This was a stroke they thought,
and a dime was put in and the box
opened, the glasses were taken out,

THE Central, N. J., Herald invites
its Republican contemporaries to cite
a case in which protected manufa C
turers have raised the wages of their
employees since the passage of the
Mckinley bill. 1t is needless to say
there are nc responses, down to date.
There was a vague m about a
South Jersey button maker who
talked of raising his peoples pay as
Dol as the bill passed; but we hardly
think 1t can have been true. or we
would have found something about
it in every Republican paper in the
country. The conclusive proof that
the Mckinley act has not raised
wages is that the Republican organs
do not even claim that it has done so.
As a matter of fact, the direct con
trary may be asserted Wages have
been reduced in the Paterson silk
mills and the Trenton potteries, and
the Clark Thread Works have taken
advantage of their protected position
to grind the faces of their people with
new rigor. Truly the Mckinley tariff
is a blessing to the toiler, and it has
not taken long to find out how great
a blessing it is.

passengers by his continual shrieks,
kicks and screams, and his vicious
ness towards his patient nurse. He
tore her bonnet, scratched her hands,
and finally spat in her face, without a
word of remonstrance from the
mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness. the mother chided her
sharply. Finally the mother turned
her back to the nurse and child, and
kept looking out through the win
dow. just then a wasp came sailing
in and flew on the window of the
nurses seat. The boy at once tried to
catch it. The nurse caught his hand,
and said, coaxingly.
Harry mustn't touch 1t; it will bite

But Harry screamed savagely, and
began to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without turning
around, cried out sharply:-"Why do

scream also caused the mother to look

dishonesty

poraries TO explain how the revenues of the
country are - be raised. II not By the present
system Of duties on imports. Ii viii be impossi-
bic to extend the free list as they propose IL the
revenues are to come in this way. Their tariff
for revenue only war cry must go. They cannot
keep that up IL they insist on put
ting protection down. for it is clearly
demonstrated that with sugar on the free list
tariff revenues sufficient to pay the government
bills cannot be raised without protecting to
some extent home industries. OF course free
traders can never do that, The Democratic
party will have to abandon its tariff for revenue
only and come out for a tax on incomes.
The cool assumption that the
Democracy is a free trade party is
ABOUT as d~isingenuous as anything we
have ever seen in political con-
troversy. The Democratic platform
calls for Tariff for Revenue with
Incidental Protection. There is no
occasion for explanation or definition.
The position of the party has not
changed in twenty-five years on the
main principle. There are differences
on matters of detail. But, on the
broad question. none.

very derelict in enforcing the snow

many places on the Hill are in very
bad shape today through the failure
Of the property owners to do a plain,
simple duty, and the failure of the
police to compel them TO do it.
Roundsmen and sergeants should
make it a very serious matter for
patrolmen along whose beats un-

a matter in which the general con

as a Tobacco Association Exchange

Vance Says he is For The Farmer.

A Washington correspondent
quotes Senator Vance rs saying that a
late press dispatch, stating that there
is combination between the Farmers
Alliance and the Richmond & Dan
vile railroad to defeat him, is false on
its face.
"For years. added the Senator,
"there has been a constant warfare be-
tween the farmers aud the Richmond
& Danville road, and through it
all l have been the champion Of the
farmers. 1t is natural that the rail
road should oppose me, but 1 have
nothing to fear from the farmers. Up
to the present every convention for
the nomination Of members of the
Legislature has endorsed me. Besides
all the judicial aud other conventions,
with one exception, have endorsed me.
I am informed that one convention
declined to enorse me solely on the
ground that as it had nothing to dc
with selecting members of the Legis.
lature, it was none of its business to
interfere.

Rocky River, Cabarrus county, but
who has been living in Laurinhurg for
the past few years, is on the road to
fortune and fame through an inven-
ton. Like all. great inventions. it is a
simple one. 1t is patent door bell and
alarm combined. In ordinary use it
is door bell, but the turning Of q
knob sets it as an alarm which rings
the moment. the door is opened. 1t is
said to be splendid trick. An At
lanta firm offered Mr.. Ritch $65,000
for the right for three States, but he
refuses the 0ffer. He has already
sold $4,000 worth of State rights.
