FOR STYLE.

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons proposes to go to the relief of our rich
and dudish representative at foreign capt.
tails, oy making them ambassadors, in
stead of ministers A minister from
the greatest nation on earth must take a
back seat if an ambassador of fourth rate
power is around. This is official etiquette
among diplomatists and official high life
Our representatives do not find fault with
the etiquette which keeps them in the rear
and gives them seats at the second table, as
it were, but they do complain of their own
government which restrains them from
going to the front with all the style and
display imaginable. Sometimes we
send abroad man of sense and
Judgment and one who loves the Demo
cratic simplicity of his country, but oftener
the United States are represented by men
selected on account of their great wealth
and their generous contributions to the
party campaign fund, their fitness or quail
fication fer the duties never being taken
into account These men get nothing from
the office save the notoriety as
"swells,n and when all their money cannot
get them to the front with the handy
legged, poverty-stricken ambassadors
from other nations they grow weary and
indignant. The Senate foreign relations
committee has taken up their cause and
will try to transform them into ambassa-
doris. The committee will hardly, how
ever, command our representatives to
forego Democratic clothes and array
themselves in court dress and span
giles. Something will be left to
indicate that this is republic in name and
style, though the inclination of so many
of our citizens is In the direction of mon
archy.
When the Senate has gotten through with
the matter, the House, whose members

a glance at this listwill demonstrate how
much of love for the poor there was in the
hearts of the committee when they were
fixing the rates. Thus, the poor buy

been increased 30 per cent, while the rich

lamp shades are such as the lab ring

only "A per cent. But think of the duty on
the common lamp chimney being multiplied
by ten. There are people who would resent
this outrage of doubling the cost of neces-
sary articles by substituting tin plates and
cups for pottery and glass, but this action
on their part has been guarded against by
increasing the duty on tin just 100 per cent
It may be remarked that dealers in these
articles are sending to Congress numer-

On MONDAY the United States supreme

as to the keeping of consuls at some of the
more important cities of the old world.
There IS absolutely nothing for our min
listers to do. Every question that occurs is
not only referred to Washington but it is
decided there, the minister bearing serenely
the Importance of a figure head. If some
thing should come up which could not be
settled by the secretary Of state but would
require the presence at foreign capital of
an American representative, the mat

minister, but special commissioner

GRINDING THE POOR.

The publication of the new Republican
robbery scheme, otherwise called the
MCKINLEY tariff bill, has aroused a good
deal of indignation, especially among the
poor people who are already taxed until
they grow nervous every time they look at
a poorhouse. An exchange prints a brief
table showing the changes proposed by the
bill in pottery and glassware, the percent
age of duty being stated.

Chicken Picking In the Dark OF the
Moon.
Some of the boys in this burg-if
reports are true-have risen above a
state of dependence, and have struck
out for themselves, having organized
themselves into a business organiza-
ton, which of late has been paying
a big interest on the capital invested

spying out chicken houses in the dark

and softly to the roosting apartments

ing from its perch the domestic fowl
without first disturbing its quiet
dreams, and nabbing it in such a
manner as to shut off the possibility
of squalling protest when the fowl
awakens to an unpleasant realization
of the situation. All this the boys
accomplished with commendable skill,
and they have been climbing the
ladder of fame and fortune, being
spurred on by the indwelling spirit
of ambition. The chickens (which
the firm owned by right of capture,
possession, appropriation, and other
things, besides labor and skill, ETC.,
employed) they lugged to the Celes-

such low prices as to cause the buyers
