FRIENDS of law and order may
we'll pause and consider where we
are tending. Such a sickening sue
cession Of atrocious crimes, large
and small, as have been reported in
the press the past few days would
seem to indicate that villainy is run
ning riot and that law is held in con-
tempt, or at least its usual restraints
are not operative. In a country
where the people hold the reins of
government and have the power to
punish brute violence and to restrain
the causes which are the precursors
of crime, a strange problem in NOR
ais is presented, why all this wrong
is tolerated. The question is asked
whether the wrongs of daily occur
renee here abound to the same ex-
tent in European countries, we can
not answer; the national disposition
to wrong action is probably about
the same in all countries. If there
be an apparent difference, it comes
from the proper enforcement of law;
the lack of this necessity for the sup
preston of crime is too apparent,

Washington Letter.

The President was so much
pleased by the news of Senator Al
lison's reelection that he sent for
Mr.. Allison to come to the White
House in order that he might receive
his personal congratulations. Since
the news arrived here Mr. Allison
has been compelled to devote the
greater part of his time to receiving
congratulations. Few men in the
Senate are as popular as the senior
Senator from Iowa.
Certain dignifed members of the
Senate continue to fret because the
wicked newspaper men will not tell
how they get the proceedings of the
secret sessions of the Senate, and all
sorts of remedies have been pro-
posed, Senator Blackburn even going
to the extent Of proposing to abolish
the press gallery entirely. tits much
more probable that it will end in the
adjustment Of the secret session.
1t took the House four days to
seat Mr.. Featherstone, the Repub-
lican contestant from one of the Ar
kansas districts, but he "got there,
Political lines have become some
what obliterated in the discussion of
the Blair bill. Senator Spooner
spoke against and Senator Barbour,
of Virginia, for it this week.
Invitations are out fer an excur-
sion through the south to be given
by the State department to the mem
bers of the Three Americas Con-
gress. 1t will start Immediately after
the adjournment of the Congress,
the date being somewhat uncertain
at this time.
The Democrats thought they
would create CONSERVATION among
the Republicans of the House when
they announced that Mr.. Pendleton,
of West Virginia, who was unseated
last week with less than a quorum,
would carry his case to the Supreme
Court by making a claim for his sal
airy as a Representative, but they
quickly discovered their error, for
nothing would please the Republl-
cans better than to get a decision
from the Supreme Court on Mr.
Reeds quorum rulings. They are
perfectly satisfied that the rulings
are constitutional and a decision OF
the Supreme Court would probably
quiet the loud-mouthed men on the
Democratic side of the House.
The Senate committee on Agricul-
ture has reported favorably on the
bill transferring the weather bureau

partment.

Free Trade in England.

The effects of free trade upon the
agricultural interests of England af-
ford a profitable theme for frequent
consideration to the American farm
er. In 1850 England imported TO-
ooo, 900 hundred weight of wheat.
In 1870 the imposts were 100000
hundred weight, in 1885, 6I,498, 1864,
together with I4,689,ooo hundred
weight of flour. This continued in
crease Of Importation has deprived
British farmers of much of their
home market, and their land is con-
stantly going out of cultivation.
Within a period of twenty years over
$500, 900 acres of land have gone
out of cultivation and are used only
for grass crops. In 1869 very near
~ half of the agricultural lands were
turned into pasture, in 1869, the per-
centage had increased to 55.8. In
twenty years the number of farm
horses had decreased 5000 and the
number of sheep 1900, ooo-the eff
feet of free wool, These are facts
upon which the American "tariff re-
former" does not delight to dwell.

Current Reading.

To the question, what is the gen.
eral character Of the current reading
it NAV be answered that in addition
to the quality, furnished by the
newspaper press, its quality is Of a
higher order than only few years
ago. Such at least appears to be
the fact in this quarter of the coun-
try. To the women especially, be-
long the literary credit of awaiting
themselves of the latest productions
of distinguished and popular writer's.
1t is interesting to notice when one
of this class of readers, is asked if
she has read the latest book, naming
it, the answer, in SO many instances
! comes in the affirmative. Another
pleasing evidence of the progress of
literary attachments is furnished by
the number of literary associations,
both in city and in country. Mrs.
Sheldon, of Madison, we'll known for
her literary requirements, and as a
successful instructor, has a class of
about twenty ladies from lead
ing families in this city en-
gagged in the study of English his
tory and literature. This class meets

Protection and Prices of
Woolens.

An industry has been especially
assailed by free trade advocates,
probably because SO generally affect
ing the interest of every household,
is that of wool manufactures. And
here, as elsewhere, the appeal has
been to the mercenary impulses OF
the voter, who is urged to believe
that the design and result of protec-
ton is to make prices permanently
higher. A glance at the history and
prices of some of the products Of
wool manufactures may be profitable.
The tariff on woods and wooden
goods has been at its highest point
since March, 1867, though for sew
eral years previous it was practically
nearly as high on account Of the pre-
MUM on gold in which all duties
had to be paid. A reference to quo
tations of recognized reliability
shows that in 1860, when a large
proportion of carpets used were
made abroad, the wholesale price Of
2-pIy ingrains was 70 to 723 cents,
and Of 3plys, 95 to 973 cents per
yard. Now wholesale prices are
very little more than one half these
figures, and very nearly all such car
pets are of domestic manufacture.
The tariff on these if imported would
be about IS per cent. on foreign
value, which if deducted from the
prices here would be below that for
which carpets Of equal quality are
sold anywhere in the world.
In the case of clothing COMPARE
son is somewhat more difficult. be-
cause styles and Qualities III wooden
goods have SO materially improved
since American mills have produced
the majority of fabrics worn by our
people, for it is fact that nearly
every article Of "oolen clothing in
common use is domestic made. This
is not so much because the tariff
shuts out foreign competition as be-
cause such articles made in this
country are better as well as cheaper
than similar articles made abroad.
Although it is SO persistently assert
ed that prices of clothing are higher
here than in England, comparisons
of price lists show this to be true on
ly of the finest fabrics, while true of
these in no such degree as free trade
advocates would have voters believe.
The machinery of this country is ca
pable of supplying all the wants of
our country for durable medium and
cheap goods, and hence competition
is so active that prices to consumers
are certain to be kept down close to
the minimum cost of production.

Winter in Spring.

The first spring month, March,
was ushered in with the rigors of old
time winter, much to the disappoint-
ment of many of the poor people.
They had been led to believe they
had escaped the winter months when
considerable supplies of fuel would
be required for personal comfort.
Children had been looking forward
to the near time when the grass
would be green, flowers in bloom,
and the usual summer amusements
would be enjoyed. The approach
Of the vernal season is pleasing an
ticipation for all classes. More par
ticularly so IS it for many a poor
family, whose stock of wood or coal
is running low. The poor widow
whose comfortless dwelling is on
street; no, she is not a widow,
but better would it be for her were
she one; then she would have one
less for whom to provide food by
her scanty earnings. It need not be
stated to whom or for what her hus-
bands small earnings go; the aver
age reader guesses it all. Suffice it
to say, it is Legal.

weekly and consists mostly of
married women An acquaintance
with English history is an accom-
plishment, eminently fitting women
who have a little time to spare for
reading and study. English history
is the foundation of our American
institutions, and England has
long been called the "mother
country" From this it may
justly be inferred. that the
intellectual tastes of the reading
people are improving. The demand
for yellow covered literature" SO
popular few years ago, is on the
wane. This perhaps may be &C
counted for in part because SO
many city daily papers devote SO
large a space to another kind Of
reading equally prohtless and de-
moralizing for the young: prize
fighting, boxing and coarse trial
games of all descriptions by man and
beast find space in some papers. The
stories of bandits and robbers are
given place and the boy reads the
narrative of daring adventures for
plumber and encounters with high
waymen; he admires the herolsm
and courage displayed in conquerlng
the adversary, and longs to take a
hand in such encounters. Many a
boy has had his mind perverted by
false pictures of life, painted with at
tractive fiction. If the history of
many Of the inmates in jails and
penitentiaries were written, their
ruin would be seen traceable to their
indulgence in reading trashy liter
allure. 1t is the duty of legislatures
to interfere in matters destructive to
public morals. The uses of govern
ment are to protect society; the evils
complained of are legitimate sub
jects Of legislation and have been so
in all the States. Hun
dreds of parents will have reason to
thank lawmakers for the enactment
of statutes for the suppression of
temptations which entice the young
to become criminals and ending their
lives in disgrace 1t will not be I'M
derstood that what is here said is
to any considerable por
ton of the press in this state; it on
ly applies to the few.

PAPER OF THF COUNTY

In order to inculcate patriotism in
the rising generation Grand Army
posts have been distributing Ameri-
can flags among the schools of New
York State. One was offered to St.
Augustine's parochial school at Lam
singburg, whereupon the priest in
charge notified the donors that he
did not want the flag hoisted over
his school and would not have it. It
wouldn't be bad idea to send this
very Iiberal-minded gentleman as
missionary to some cannibal island.

REFORM is getting right down to
business in Russia. Nihilists have
been skulking about in back alleys
and meeting in cellars for long
time Matching plots to kill the Gar,
but they never did anything. Now,
however, a woman has come boldly
forward and sent letter to the Gar
telling him that unless he modifes
his reactionary policy she will take
his case in hand and will carve him
up in small hunks all by herself.
This looks like the genuine article.

true that the total distance from the
Alaskan to the Russian shore is between
fifty and sixty miles, but the stretch is
broken midway by the scattering Do
mede Islands. OF this group three
large, well-known and inhabited islands
are SO situated as to supply convenient
stations, if the route chosen were from
Cape Prince Of Wales on the American
side to East Cape on the Siberian shore.
These three are Fairway Rock, Krusen-
stern and Rasmanoff, and between the
two last mentioned runs the boundary
line laid down by the agreement OF 1867.
The first is distant from the American
shore barely dozen miles and the last
is separated from the other side by an
expanse of water twice as wide. There
is still another inhabited island on the
proposed line of route and survey

would materially advance the possibili-
ties of the proposed bridge. Even il

GAS DEAD AS CHELSEA"

In the nostrils of the good people of
Chelsea, Mass, there is little fragrance
in the well-worn adage that a rose by
any other name would smell as sweet.
II they were compelled to have recourse
to anything of a proverbial nature, they
would be more likely to grimly declare
that it is only necessary to give a dog a
bad name to ensure him the worst OF
fates. Chelsea has grievance. Its
name is frequently taken in vain, it has
become by-word and scott unto its
neighbors, and the hearts OF its innabi-
tants are cast down within them. To
the stranger and the uninitiated, it
would be somewhat puzzling question
to determine why such an ancient and
ouphonious appellation as the town
bears should act in any way as bar.
rier to it's progress. But the Chelseans
are the victims of the intensely personal
character of the time and it's rage for
novelty. The SMILES and comparisons
that suited the tastes of our forefathers
are no longer sufficient for the modern
world, and in his desire for fresh and
racy forms of speech the man of to-day
does not hesitate for moment to pass
the threshold of the conventionalities
and levy upon the inmost sanctity OF his
neighbours purely private matters with
out bestowing thought on the pain OF
positive loss the invasion may bring to
the unfortunate. 1t is true that Chel.
