veals still deeper depths OF wickelnes-
in its provisions than a mere general
increase Of tariff taxation, however
great that increase may be. During
the short ministry of the divine Nazar.
enc on earth it will be found that he
bestowed his blessings of the poor and

OPPRESSION OF TIE POOR.
The course OF increased taxation is
laid all along the line, from the be-
ginning to the end on the cheaper
grades of manufactured goods of all
sorts and kinds which are used by the
poor, while the blessing OF lower rates
is given to the rich Romantic robbers
Of brilliant fiction have been depicted
sometimes in the colors OF chivalry,
and as sparing the needy and dis
tressed while they politely proved upon
the opulent and the richly endowed.
The robbcr barons of this country
do not belong to so refined type of
predaceous chevaliers. They plumber
the poor as matter OF choice. 1t is
said that the poor have few friends
and make no new ones. They can
make but little noise in the world.
They have no newspapers, and their
sighs and sroans die away uhhcard,
and their tears fall unseen around
their humble hearth stones. Their
very helplessness invites the horrible
oppression contained for them in this
bill.
The laboring man cannot come here
to look after his interests. He is not
able to spare the time nor the money,
while millionaircs, for whom he works
As slave, and to whom he pays daily
tribute, are here in control of every.
thing, not only on the outside, but
also on the inside OF both branches of
Congress. Let lis look for moment
at the increased burdens and the addi-
tional chains OF servitude' prepared in
the measure before us for the bended
shoulders and the aching limbs of
that distant laborer, wherever he
may be, in his anxious, unrestful
home.
Standing in the presence of the
finance committee of the Senate, the
Oldest, best known, and most reputa-
bic importer OF foreign merchandise,
coming from Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Boston, and
from every other importing center
in this country, said:
ave contend that the proposed
tariff bill in almost all its sections pro-
vides for higher rate of duty on low
priced and staple articles accessory to
the well-being and comfort of the
people, and thus materially increases
the cost of living, especially for the
poorer classes, placing the American
artisan and producer at disadvantage
in the production of all kinds of COM
mOdities."

Our Mistakes About Each Other.

Not one man in ten thousand sees
those with whom he associates as they
really are. II the prayer of Burns
were granted, and we could all see our
selves as others see us, our self
estimates would in all probability be
much more erroneous than they are
now. The truth is that We regard
each other through variety of lenses,
no one of which is correct. Passion
and prejudice, love and hate, benevo-
lence and envy, spectacle our eyes and
utterly prevent lis from observing ac-
curately. Many whom we deem the
porcelain of human clay are merely
pot metal, and a still greater number
OF those we put down in our "black
books" are no further off from heaven,
and perchance little nearer, than the
ccnsors who condemn them. We ha-
bitually undervalue or overyalue each
other; and in estimating character
the shrewdest OF us only now and then
make true appraisal of the virtues and
defects of even our closest intimates.
If we all saw ourselves rs the world
sees us, multitudes would despise
themselves without sufficient cause.
and not few be pulled up with pride
for which there would be no honest
foundation.
1t is not just or fair to look at
character from a standpoint of ones
own selection. A mans profile may
be unprepossessing, and yet his full
face agreeable. We once saw a young
man, whose timidity was standing
joke with his companions, leap into
the Hudson and save boy from
drowning, while his tormentors stood
panic-stricken on the bank. The
merchant who gives curt answers in
his counting-room may be a tender
husband and father and kind helper
of the desolate and oppressed. On
the other hand your good-humored
person, who is all smiles and sunshine
in public, may carry something as
hard as the neither milestone in the
place where his heart ought to be.
Such anomalies are common. There
is this comfort, however, for those
whose misjudgments OF their fellow
mortals lean to the kindly side-such
mistakes so to their credit in the
great account. He who thinks better
of his neighbors than they deserve is
seldom bad man, for the standard by
which his judgment is guided is the
goodness of his own heart. 1t is only
the base who believe all men base-or,
in other words, like themselves. Few,
however, are all evil.

Generosity that Paid.

Young Mr.. de b. is a broker, anC
like most men of his walk of life, gen
erously disposed. AS he left his Of
flee one day last week he was accosted
by rough-looking, raggedly-dressed
man who requested the gift of fifty
cents with which to purchase din
ner.
Why should l give you fifty cents
for your dinnerf" asked young Mr.. B.
"What claim have you upon me9"
"None said the beggar. "That is
no more than the hungry and penni.
less always have upon those who have
something to spare"
"Do l look as if l had something to
spare?"
You are a broker" returned the
alms-seeker. 81 never knew a broker
who had nothing to spare to hungry
man."
"Why don't you so to work."
al may have to if you decline to as
sist me?'
"That is strange. What is your
work."
"Pil tell you. l am a pick-pockct,
and | have just this afternoon been
discharged from prison. l have no
money, no friends. l am, as have
said, hungry. You see what | am
brought to. Starvation or crime. If
l can get a good dinner 1 may be al lie
to stave off the other alternative for
awhile"
Young Mr.. de B. was impressed
naturally SO, think. Putting his
hand into his trousers pocket he drew
forth half dollar and handed it to
the ex-convict.
There" he said, "there is your
dinner. l shall be glad if l can save
you from crime even for little
while"
AT this young Mr.. de b. started on
his way, but the beggar was at his
elbow.
Il say, my FRIEND" said he.
Well?"
would you mind telling me the
timer"
"There is the clock in the steeple." !"
"I know that-but your time.
What is it2"
Impatiently Mr.. dc b. felt for his
watch. 1t Was gone.
al have been robbed!" he cried.
Precisely" said the ex-convict.
&" And here is the WATCH" taking it
from the pocket of his greasy coat.
"I took it while you were hesitating
about giving me the half dollar. The
Lord helps them that helps them
selves, but he also helps them as helps
Others. Take your watch. 1 don't
need it. You got it cheap"
And so saying, the beggar turned
and walked down the street, and was
soon lost to view.
Then young Mr.. de B., replacing his
time piece in his pocket, sauntered
homeward, thinking deeply all the
while, and thanking his stars that
being a broker, he was, like most men
in his walk of life, generously dis
posed.

HARDLY A ROSY OUTLOOK.
The Republican Chances in the State Are
Not so Good as Quay's Friends Tell Him
An Uprising Against Delamator.

1HS hepuDican finances IN the state Are
Not so Good as 0uay's Friends Tell Him
An Uprising Against Delamater.
There is great deal of quiet smiling in
Harrisburg over the way the alleged
leaders who have had Senator Quay's
ear at Washington, have been plating
that statesman's hair in telling him of the
rosy outlook for Delamater. The fact is,
from information received from various
parts of the State, the outlook is not only
not rosy for Delamater, but there is an
undercurrent of opposition that is decId-
edly alarming. The expose of the way in
which Chairman Andrews worked Cam
bria county for Deamater has set people
to talking, and politicians from different
parts of the State are outspoken in their
denunciotion of a campaign in which the
State Chairman uses the party machinery
to further the interests of particular can
didate.
Especially Is there kick in the oil re-
gions. Prominent Republicans in that
section who have been asked to be dele
gates have refused on the ground that if
Delamater is candidate, they would not
then be free to fight him, which they pro-
pose to do, tooth and nail.
Especially aggravating to the free think
ing voters are the dispatches sent out
from Washington, under Andrews's di
rection, to the effect that any man who
enters the field against Delamater does
so at his peril, and to the injury of his
future political prospects" This warning
to clear the track or be smashed will not
be tamely submitted to.
Another subject of comment is the alb
surd habit of the Delamater people have
of claiming everything. Last week they
claimed that Miller, the delegate from
Snyder, was for Delamater, when the fact
is he defeated the Delamater delegate
and is for Hastings. In Harrisburg, if a
vote of the people is taken on indorsing a
candidate, Hastings would defeat Della
mater two to one. The delegate will be
Lyman d. Gilbert, and he is not pledged
to any candidate.
There are stories to the effect that
Chris L. Magee, Wharton Barker, James
McManes, Charles w. Stone, Daniel T.
Hastings, William r. Leeds, Lewis w.
Emery, Thomas B. Cochran, Barton d.
Evans, e. Nevin Pomeroy, and other
prominent men of the party will combine
and make vigorous fight against Della
mater on the ground that if he is nomi-
mated there will be a repetition of 1889.
This may be interesting for MIR. Quay to
cad in Philadelphia tomorrow.

LEG BROKEN IN TWO PLACES.

Adam Roidle, of Woodvale, Beaten by
Thugs on Saturday Night
On Saturday night about II o'clock as
Mr.. Adam Roidle, of Woodvale, was on
his way home from having been down
street, he was beset by some thugs and
badly beaten. The affair took place in
Conemaugh borough on Railroad street,
not far from the Haynes street crossing.
He was taken to his home in Woodvale
by some friends, and DIR. II. F. Tomb at
tended him. Besides bruises on the head
and face and being otherwise used up, one
of his legs was broken in two places by
being kicked. One of the bones only was
fractured, the two breaks being between
the knee and the ankle.
The assailants of Mr.. Roidle made then
escape. Yesterday evening he was getting
along all right, but may not be seen on the
streets again for two months.

swINDLING FARMERS.
\ New Device for Obtaining Their Sigma
lures to Promissory Notes,

4 New Device for Obtaining Their Sigma .
lures to Promissory Notes,
A neat and ingenious device for swind
ling farmers has lately been put in prac-
tce in the interior of the State. A
stranger called upon well-to-do farmer
of the town of Coventry and exhibited
plough share, which he claimed to be of
an improved pattern over old styles, do
ing its work better and with easier
draught. lie was introducing the plough
share, he said, as the agent for Buffalo
agricultural machine warehouse. He
offered to leave a ploughshare with the
farmer on trial. If satisfactory, Il stipu-
lated price was to be RENTED to the
Buffalo house, and the farmer was to
recommend the new tool to his ncighbors.
If not satisfactory, the ploughshare should
cost the farmer nothing.
The proposition appeared so tair that
the Coventry man accepted it, and, as
matter of form, the agent said, signed his
name to memorandum of the agreement,
which the agent wrote out on the spot
with fountain pen that he produced
from his pocket. A few days later the
farmer was amazed by the presentation
for payment of his note of hand for $3.50.
The note was presented by a neighbor, to
whom the agent had sold it, with plaus-
ible explanation and at a slight discount.
At first the victimized farmer Indignantly
pronounced the signature forgery, but
revived recollection of his deal with the
plowshare agent and closer inspection
of the handwriting sat SIZED him that the
signature was his own.
How did the sharper work the trick {?
The accepted theory is that he wrote opt
the contract with an ink that soon faded
out, and then substituted for the farmers
use in signing the document another
fountain pen filed with common ink. The
trick gave him, after the fading out pro.
cess was completed, piece OF paper free
of any mark except the genuine signature,
which he converted into o promissory
note. There is no concern in Buffalo do
ing business under the firm name given
by the sharper.

Body Of a Woman Found.

On Friday evening body, that of a
woman, was found at Conemaugh Fur
mace, eight miles below this city, at the
old dam, which did service in the days of
the canal. 1t will be brought to this city
to-day, when a complete description will
be made out.
The body is described by the finder i.
5. Shaw, foreman of the Sang Hollow
division, Pennsylvania Railroad, as hav-
ing on it a brown coat and brown dress,
high buttoned shoes, about No. 3, and
black ribbed stocking, brown dress, cardi-
nal trimmings, brown hair faalse teeth
gold band ring, inscribed, "John,"
Nov. 1885, gold ring with set.
There is an impression among the rela-
tives of Mr.. John j. Gels, of Salina, Kan
sas, who live in this city, that the body
found is that Of his wife. The ring an
swers well. Mr. Gels was married In
October, 1885. Some of the clothing as
described does not correspond 20 that
which sic wore, but there may be some
mistake about that The difference in
the date of the ring and the marriage may
be explained.
Mrs. Gels, it will be remembered, was
visiting here at the time with Mr.. Geis's
folks. She went down in the flood, and
has never been heard of yet. unless the
body described is hers.
