The New French Tariff.
[From the Boston Journal.


1t is the boast of the farmers of the
new French tariff bill that they have
avoided both extremes---that they
have provided for the protection of
French industry and at the same
time have not offended foreigners for
whose good opinions they are solic-
itous. The Paris correspondent of the
London Times is unable to tell
whether this boast is wholly justified,
but he is certain that they have
avoided the free-trade extreme, and
he is not a little annoyed in conse-
auence. A feature of the new bill
that has been limited at In the dis
patches is its provision for two tariffs
"a general tariff which may be in-
creased to fixed maximum against
nations discriminating against French
goods, and q minimum tariff repre-
senting the utmost cons 'ssions that
can be made by French industry to
countries imposing no differential or
excessive duties on French exports.
The bill raises duties in several inn
portant particulars. The linen and
hemp manufacturers get additional
protection, and so do the manufacture
ersa5f jute and cotton, but the silk
and wooden duties are mostly re-
tanned at the old rates. Eventually.
however, the Times correspondent
dolefully predicts that "the protec-
lists will propose the increase of al
most every item"

ADreary Christmas.

LONDON, Dec. 3l.-Londoners have
arrived at the conclusion that the
good old-fashioned Christmas wealth
er, belauded by story-tellers and ver-
sifiers, is an impudent fraud. They
have been shiverlng and groaning
under it for full month, and consid.
or themselves competent to form no
opinion on the subject. The temper
allure is too low and the death rate is
too high to suit their modern tastes.
Above all, they pine for sight of the
sun, which has been scarcely seen for
weeks past. In Westminster abso-
luteIy no sunshine has been register
ed since November 26.

Prehistoric Mining i'm Africa.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Mashona-

remote part of Africa, until recently
almost unknown to Europeans, they
have found evidence OF former occu-

as shown by the remains of extensive
alluvial works and shafts and exca-
vations for small rich leaders, quartz
from which has been ground on large
slabs of granite rock. The round
stones used as crushing rollers lie
about in hundreds, partially hidden
by the accumulated soil and tropical

THE democrats in Congress could
find no fault with the superintendent
bill to give them even the semblance
of an excuse for opposing it, but they
kept up the reputation of the party
as kickers by Juggling into the short
debate which proceeded the passage of
the bill all of the exploded and
senseless newspaper charges about
the incorrectness of the census that
have been printed. Such actions as
this furnish fair idea of the calibre
of the would.be statesman of the
democratic party.

Set Carried on in Broad Day

The crooked element that is in fest.
ing our city at present, has gotten
down to robbing even places of pub
lie worship. One such case was dis
covered yesterday afternoon when the
janitorof st. Marks Episcopal Church
found that the silver communion
set OF the church, consisting of q sill
yer fiagon, three silver goblets, three
chalices and one platter, had been
stolen. The set is merely silver
plated one, worth not more than fifty
dollars. 1t had been stolen once be-
fore, but abandoned by the thief who
had at Grst taken it to be full solid
silver. The thief was COM
PEELED to enter the vestry room
by going through the church
which is open throughout the entire
day. 1t is not known who committed
the depreciation, but some tramps
who were lounging about the place
for aims and shelter, are suspected of
the theft, which undoubtedly was
committed in broad daylight, while
the church was open. Detective
Crawford has the matter in hand.
