CUT HIS FINGER.
What Lugo Got for Acting AS a
Peacemaker

B. A. Lugo yesterday swore to COM
plant charging Jose Arguello with dis
turbing the peace. The trouble grew
out of a social time at saloon on Los
Angeles street. 1t appears that Jose
Arguello gave Lugo bottle of wine to
hold. Santiago, brother OF Jose Ar
guelo, approached Lugo and said {;
"Give me the bottle of wine. 1 want to
play joke on my brother"
Lugo handed over the wine, and San
tiago hid the bottle. After the party
had another drink, Jose asked Lugo for
the wine. He replied that he had given
the bottle to Santiago. Jose went to
his brother, and they had words. Jose,
so it is alleged in the complaint, pulled
out knife and threatened to stab his
brother. Lugo stepped between them
to act as peacemaker, whereupon Jose
made lunge at him with the knife.
Santiago grabbed hold of his brother,
and got his finger cut for his pains.

MIR. Powderly Is Fond of Flowers

T. V. Powderly spends nearly as much
time in his garden as he does ut his desk.
When he is not studying labor problems
he is studying the growth of his flowers.
The only question that has an equal in
terest to Powderly is the question of
food. He is exceedingly abstelnious,
and doubtless could give the fasting
men who are coming to the front now
valuable points. Powderly never eats
more than two light meals day, and
thinks that he can do with less.-Cor.

IN THE HOUSE.
The International Copyright Bill FL
nally Passed.


WASHINGTON, Dec. BIN the house
this morning the speaker stated that the
pending business was further considera-
ton of the copyright bill. After argu-
ments against the bill by Springer, Pc
ters and Kerr, and in its favor by Breck-
inridge, of Kentucky, Farquhar, Nc
Adoo, Cummings and Butterworth,
Peters moved to recommit it with in
structions to the committee to report it
back with an amendment limiting the
life OF the copyright to fourteen years.
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, moved to
amend the instructions, by instructing
the committee to provide for the impor-
tation of books of foreign authors at the
rate now provided by law.
Both amendments were lost.
The question then recurred on the
passage of the bill, and the roll call re-
suited: Yeas, 1870; nays, 95.
The house then adjourned.

AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.

Rev. Thomas NJ C. Birmingham is a
presiding elder of the Methodist Church
South. His field is, or was, in the State
of Arkansas. He recently wrote book
entitled "Seriptural Politics the Way to
National Salvation" The Southern Meth
odist Book House at Nashville approved
and published the very innocent book. 1t
was generally successful and reached a
third edition.
But the Arkansas Democrats did not like
it, and they proceeded to say so in Ian
guage, and accompanied by manifestations,
that made Mr.. Birmingham's further resi-
dence in Arkansas unpleasant, not to say
dangerous. Unfortunately for the reverend
gentleman, he lived in the Clayton dis
trict, the scene of political tragedies
and murders. Mr.. Birmingham, because

ALL honor to Mamie Conelly of South
Lowell, Mass. Sunday night hearing a
noise in the house that she believed indi-
Gated the attempt Of burglars to rob the
premises, she arose, and proceeding to her
fathers library secured pistol and load
ing it carefully she proceeded to the room
whence the noise proceeded, and throwing
open the door covered the burglar with the
pistol and commanded him to throw up
his hands. He refused and sprang upon
the little woman, who fired thrice, putting
each bullet into vital part of the thiefs
body. Her father, aroused by the shots,
came to her aid and the accomplice of the
burglar was found in an upper room and
arrested. No wonder that all Massachusetts,
is to-day applauding the act of the young
woman. When burglars become con-
WINGED that our women are learning how
to handle fire arms, and are not any
longer afraid to Use them, the vocation Of
burglary will be much deserted and house
hold property become more secure from
the assaults of thieves.

THE CANADIAN AND HIS BARLEY.

Sir John Macdonald having told the
Canadian people that under the new tariff
law of the United States the Canadians
would have to lose the sum of the tax per
bushel-15 cents-some of the Demo-
cratic papers have started in on this side
to tell Sir John that he did not know What
he was talking about. They say: "You
are wholly mistaken; for while it is true
that if American grown barley sells at 81,
and the tariff on Canadian barley is ID
cents, and the Canadian must put up with
So cents as result if he sells in the
United States, yet we can show you that it
is the American who pays the tax. And
this is how it is, Sir John. The American
consumer has to pay the Canadian grower
the amount of the duty over and above
what he would have to pay if there were
no duty. Don't you see If the Canadian
can get 81 bushel and pay the tax, he
can sell barley for S. cents when there is
no tax; so the American consumer really
pays the tar1n tax after all.
That is all very pretty in theory. But
the fact is that the American pays since
the tariff precisely what he did before the
tariff for bushel of barley-that is to say,
81. In other words, the imposition of the
duty has not increased the price of barley,
but it has secured for the American grown
product home market, and to just that
extent it has benefited home people all
around and insured more growing of bar
ley. The grower in the United States I'M
der the new tariff will receive just what
ever gain there is In the removal of Cana
dian competition, and that is an enlarged
market. If the price in seasons of varying
character rises and falls, the profit, what
ever it is, will go into the American
farmers pocket, and not cross the line,
Beer will not be a mill higher, nor will
ale or porter advance solitary cent to the
consumer, neither will the glasses be re-
duced in size 1t is fact that the Demo-
cratic theorists ignore, that when the
Canadian farmer with the Is cents off had
full opportunity to sell his barley at IS
cents, he did not do so. He sold for the
most he could get, and no one blames him
for it. The demand for barley fixed the
price, and just that the Canadian took, and
The whole of it, as he should have done.

STANDING UP FOR ENGLISH IN THE
SCHOOLS,

The public school teachers of Illinois
are emphatic in their Endorsement of the
laws Of that State demanding the teach
ing of the English branches in English.
The Democratic and foreign opposition to
such laws in Wisconsin has not at all
frightened the people of the adjoining
State Indeed, the leading Democratic
papers of Illinois are just now engaged in
lashing their brethren of Wisconsin for
making such consummate asses of them
selves. The Schoolmaster's Club, which
is the same as "The State Teachers Asso-
Citations" in other States, is composed of
men of all political shades, but they are
unit on the Bennett school law issue. They
say sit is not schoolmasters' question, it
is question of the entire State, and all
the people. 1t is a question as to whether
the genius of the American people shall
dominate in Illinois or that of foreign
spirit. The first step in the solution of
this question on the part of the enemy is
to challenge the right of the State to con-
troll the education of its children; to pose
in the attitude of religious bigotry and
thus divert attention from the real issue.
The man, the paper, that sees the peril,
the offensive foreignism, the undigested,
anti-American mass arrayed against the
schools and the future welfare of the
State will more wisely serve the State and
more deeply endear himself to the hearts
of its people than can now be imagined"
1t is very pleasant to be able to record
the fact, that now the more intelligent cit
liens of foreign birth are coming out as
friends of the law and are denouncing the
bigoted men who assume that liberty in
America means license to do as one pleases
unrestrained by any authority. Even in
Wisconsin, several thousand naturalized
citizens have signed manifesto saying
that they have not been, and will not be-
come parties to any scheme to break down
the Bennett law. They declare that
English is the official and recognized Ian
guage of the land, and that the children
must be taught in English that they may
be able to read and understand the laws
of the land.

munity composed of men whe cannot be Set
ter described than as aindiferents." They
are the men who do not do political duty
of any kind, and think him the best citi-
zen who withdraws from the work of gov
concentrating and controlling. These
are the men who mourn because of venal-
ity and maladministration in office, but
never assert themselves as units in the
community that have the power to shape
the courses and determine the activity of
political parties. All the bad politics
known to our system result directly from
the non-actiyity of the "indifferents," the
people who are too good to take part in a
primary, too busy with private affairs to
devote any time to the State of which
they are integral parts, and the protection
of which they enjoy.

of his book and his fitness, was nominated
in that State for Superintendent of Public
Instruction by the United Labor party.
At the same time, in response to generous
offer, he began to write letters to the
Philadelphia Press, in which he criticised
the election methods of his fellow citizens
of Arkansas very freely, but truthfully.
Thereupon, under these accumulatlng
@offenses," the Democracy of the Second
District of that State proceeded to hang
the Reverend Birmingham in efigy, and
shortly after he was notified that his
absence was desirable, or, if it could not
be secured, that he might be sent to travel
the road poor Clayton trod. He accord
ingly left the State, but, being poor, could
not take his wife and children with him.
So Birmingham is wanderer without
home.
Yet all this occurred in the United
States of America, in the year 1890, in a
country where and at time when it is
supposed men are free within the law to
write and print their views on all matters
affecting the welfare of the people. 1t
will astonish readers to learn that in all
Mr.. Birmingham has written there is moth
ing nearly 50 harsh as appears in any one
of the San Francisco papers at this time
concerning the candidates that such papers
oppose, or the methods of the bosses that
they do not approve. 1t is quite evident
that the beams of enlightenment have not
yet penetrated Arkansas territory, and that
there is need for the expenditure of some
missionary energy in that direction by the
good people who bewail the ignorance and
cruelty of the distant heather.

of the disorganizers next Tuesday. Let
Republicans refuse to trade, no matter
how tempting the offers. 1t is better to
vote ones own choice than to seek to gain
advantage for any name on ticket by
trading off some other name. The hope
of the disruptionists is in trading. Let
that hope be defeated by fiat refusal in
every case. If any man approaches

lot in one case, to gain vote in another,

INQUIRY is made of us concerning the
much-talked-of tariff on tin plate, and in
examining authorities and statistics for
answer, it is found that since 1880 there
have been reductions in the price of iron
and steel of from 25 to So per cent but
none at all upon tin plate. 1t is made of
81 per cent. of iron and per cent. of tin.
Tin has been all the time free of duty, but
there has not in all that time been anv
lowering of the price of tin plate. That
is to say, while we can procure tin free of
impost, and can mine it at home, and can
make sheet iron as good as is turned out
anywhere, we have not entered upon the
plating of the iron with the tin. The tin
plate has been made mainly in England,
and the manufacturers there have i'm
ported the tin for the purpose, just as we
can do, if we choose. So we have paid all
these years money to England that if we
had manufactured the article we could
have kept at home. The Republican
programme is to make the tin plate in
America and save the output for imported
tin plate.

THE Boston Aduertiser sent out its re-
porters to find out if the charge of the
Democracy is true that the new tariff bill
has increased the prices of necessaries of
life. The entire corps came in and re-
ported that there had been no advance in
the price of beans, and the Advertiser i'm
mediately went to press as usual But
seriously, whenever the examination has
been made fairly it has been found that
there is no advance in prices of staples.
But there have been made disclosures of
rascality, where merchants have put up
the prices on certain lines of goods, and
told their patrons that the new tariff bill
necessitated it, when the articles referred
to were listed at precisely the same for
duties as under the old law. In one case
it was found that merchant had put up
The price on goods that actually are free
listed. A Democratic orator recently de
clared from the platform that the tariff
had caused a great rise in the price of
guns, when in fact there has been no in
crease whatever in the price of American
guns, and will not be. The largest gun
dealers in the United States have written
letter to the Inter Ocean of Chicago testi
flying to that fact, and in elaborate detail
explaining why it is so. On double-ba
relied breech-loading shotguns of foreign
make there is an increase of duty. This
is to enable the American manufacturers
of that class of guns to learn to make
cheaply, but on all the guns that our
artisans have learned to make cheaply the
new bill reduces the tariff by ten per cent.
