WHY rs 1T /!

The fight in Congress over the
tariff aud silver question goes on
aid grows warmer and more
earnest. If the great mass of
people would inform themselves
correctly aud think for them
selves, they would soon see that
atariff, such as We have, and have
had for the past twenty-five years.
is what the Supreme court once
.aid was "legalized robbery"
Yet they groan under it, but cling
TO it. In siiIit, this tariff is in
violation Of that clause of the
Constitution which fOrbids class
legislation, for It favOrs one class
Of persons at the expense of the
many. 1t fosters ii system which
makes the rich, richer and the
poor, poorer. Now, more forci-
bly, than ever before, that result
is being realized and still a large
proportion Of the people sustain
it. Why is iti
They complain and grumble,
and denouncc the effect and up
hold the cause. Why is it!
As for the silver question, who,
but a money king, or one seeking
to be such, pretends to urge sub
stantial reasons against the free
coinage of silver! The SUM Of
the matter is that a majority of
the people haze as good gov
ernment as they deserve. or then
they are deceived by their leaders.
If they deserved a better cavern
ment and were not deceived they
would have it. The majority con.
troll in this matter aud if, through
apathy, avoidable ignorance, par
ty prejudice or bigotry, or neglect
to perform their duty, they do not
control, then they are undesesv-
Ing Of a good government. This
is plain talk, but it is the truth
and all men know 1t. Our law
makers are chosen by thu people.
they are the servants Of the peO-
pie and are directly responsible
to the people. They are the rep
resentatives of the people and if
bad men are in Office il is because
the people were deceived into
selecting them. rhis is plain and
uudenable. Good aud 'true men
are sometimes deceived aDout
election time by men who ask for
their suffcages. Why is 1t?
All over this country men are
FESTIVE and disconteuted. The
masses of the people are doing
much more thinking now than ever
before. On one Of the great eco
nOmic questions men are being
driven by sheer force of circum-
stances to think. The next few |
months Is to determine whether
or not their thoughts have so
crystalized as to produce such !
action az will improve their |
condition. We shall see.

Gobs.in Tapestry.

When you hear people talk about
getting Gobelin tapestry" says G. r.
Clifford, of The Upholstcrer, they
usually don't know what they are
talking about. The Gobelin works are
in France. and are subsidized by the
government. They turn out goods de.
signed for state gifts, and the same
goods are not made in Philadelphia,
although as the manufactured tapes
tries she is the metropolis of the
world. 1t is not that we cannot make
tapestries as valuable as the Gobelin,
but who would buy themi No one
could make them without immense
subsidy. Chevreul, the great cente-
marian chemist, used TO be the chemist
of the Gobelin works. They spend a
year in turning out as much of the
article as could be made in a day or
two at our rate of working. People
frequently talk about Gobelin tapes
try, but they apply the word TO some
fancy work done by the women. There
is no manufactures of it here. "-Phila-

Some years ago one Of the present

his brother were examining the stock
of a pawnshop in London with the
hope of picking up some curiosities.
They came across a necklace Of green
glass beads. which the New York man
purchased for 81. so, intending TO bring
il home To his little daughter. The bro.
Their was surprised TO find in the shop
a counterpart of this necklace, which
he brought home 10 his little girl.
Two months later the latter showed
her gift 10 a jeweler, who pronounced
the glass beads TO be emcralds. and
who sold them afterwards for several
thousand dollars. The member of con-
gress, upon hearing this, took his
necklace 10 the same dealer. who pro-
nounced it To be composed Of glass
beads. The London pawn dealer had
purchased them of thief, who had
stolen them from "a wealthy woman.
The latter kept the omeralds in a safe,
and wore their glass cuunterparts. OF

OLD AGE.

The Oetogenarian Loves TO Read About
People of 90 Years and Over.
The feeling must of necessity come to
many aged persons that they have outlived
their usefulness; that they are no longer
wanted, but rather in the way, drags on the
wheel rather than helping them forward.
But let them remember the oft quoted line
of Milton:
"They also serve who only stand and wait
This is particularly true of them. They
are helping others without always being
aware Of it. They are the shields, the
breakwaters Of those who come after them.
Every decade is the defense of the one next
behit it.
At 80 the youth has sobered into man
hood, but the strong men of 40 rise in
almost unbroken rank between him and
the approaches of old age as they show the
men of so. At 40 he looks with sense of
security at the strong men of So, and sees
behind them the row Of sturdy sexagenari-
ans. When so is reached somehow
60 does not look so old as IL
once used to and 20 is still afar of. At 6
the stern sentence of the burial servic
seems to have meaning that one did not
seem to notice in former years. There
begins to be something personal about it.
But If one lives to be 40 he soon gets used
to the text with three score years and ten
to it, and begins to count himself among
those who by reason of strength are des-
tined to reach four score, of whom he can
see Q number still in reasonably good con-
dition. The octogenarian loves to read
about people of so or over.
He peers among the asterisks OF the
triennial catalogue of the university for
the names of graduates who have been 70
vears ont nf tha eolleoa and remain still
unstarred. He is curious about the bog
raphies Of centenarians. Suchs escapades
as those Of the terrible old sinner and an
cestor of great men, Rev. Stephen Bachel-
der, interest him as they aeyer did before.
But he can not deceive himself much

Hereafter You May Garry Your Own Type
writer In Your Pocket.
A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public. Typewriting
instruments now in the market are of con-
siderable size and weight-at least person
could scarcely think of carrying one about
with him regularly. The one under notice
is not only inexpensive, but is so small
that it may be carried in the waistcoat
pocket. The retail price will be under o
shiilings; it measures 81 inches by inches,
and weighs about ounces. Though SO
small it is not mere toy. The in
ventor claims for it that it will turn
out better work and be found more useful
than larger and more expensive machines.
With reference to its construction, all that
can be seen when specifically examined is
a disk about the size Of the face Of gen.
tleman's watch, in which the type is fixed,
and one or two small rollers. 1t will print
line from an inch to yard long, and pa
per Of any kind or thickness can be used.
Any one can use 1t. though, as in the case
of other instruments. practice is required
to enable the opeartor to write quickly.
Another advantage is that by means of du-
plicate types the writer can be used for diff
ferent languages. Patents have been OBJ
