We Americans affect to scOrn rank, the
nobility which birth gives, the insignia Ct
office. decorations for brave deeds, etc,
but it seems to me that there is no race
which is more readily captured by that
which appeals to the eye than we.
could not help thinking of this on Satur-
day evening when [ was walking into
town behind young man who belonged
to some military school, He was dressed
in a parade suit red silk sash, everything
lust as pretty as one Of the figures on a
| tea wrapper or Oh the back Of a national
war song. He walked with that stiff
martial air which proclaims to the ''Vul
Gar crowd Il am soger boy Every
one in the street turned to look at him
when he passed. and every one seemed &c
| wish would were like that, or would
had those clothes" Admiration, love
confidence. were inspired by those gar
ments. and have not a doubt that the
Young man could, on the strength Of that
| suit. have borrowed five dollars from any
one IN the crowd | mad twenty-five
cents. and am sure if he had stopped he
and asked me for it. he should have had
it, such is my respect for rank and the
insignia of rank. The fellow who told
me all about the Chinese told me also
about the grandeur Of the Odd Fellows
parade. He noticed one man in particu-
lar. who must have been grand Tatri-
arch. He was declled in a gorgeous suit,
gold braid. plumed hat. swordsash. but
his shoes spoiled the tout ensemble. ;
He was standing on the sidewalk uncer-
tain where to stand, where to go, when
one of his companions seeing him. called
aloud, "Chevalier. Chevalier. come in and
take something with me-" and this repre-
sentative of by-gone cbivalry, who il

clothes was Chevalier, went in and took
something Doubtless if he wished the

him. Such is our respect for tiummery.

ECHOES OF THE WEEK.

Last week when the agent and collector
Of Scribner''S was in town delivering Stan
| ley'S book, | had a talk with him, and
finally we touched on the book which he
was delivering. He said tnat it was one
of the best investments that his house hrd
ever made. Over one hundred thousand
copies had been sold, and orders were
coming III from every part of the country.
| Forty thousand dollars was the sum paid
to Stanley for the book, and the publish
ers will, no doubt, make clear profit of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
A small fortune that Why did | not
purchase that book, and contract with the
| TELEGRAPH COURIER to publish it !?
What a boom it would have been to the
new building, what boom to the book,
and what boom for me- Several thOus
andS of dollars thrown away All, 1T is
my luck. | am always losing OppOrtun-
ties which if taken in time would Lead
well, somewhere or another. The lady CT
the house told me to-day that | was al
ways making mistakes told her knew
that | was and that there was one mis-
take which | had made, and which al
ways filled me with sorrow. 1t was that
| should have been sent into the world
without one million dollars. | was not
consulted at the time, but if ! had been
and if | had possessed then the wisdom
which | now have, | should certainly have
stipulated that my share Of the contract
be one million dollars. A man who has
not that amount ought not to live. Then

been leased by some clever Americans for
period of ninety-nine years. | was only
an infant in arms at the time, but it was
lost opportunity All, | have lost all
those chances and many more. AprOpOs
of Stanley's book, the Gdzette man says
that it is poor English. 1t may be. 1t is,
but it was hastily prepared for the press;
then the Gazette adds a wish that Mark
Twain had been on the expedition in or
der that the incidents might have been
more graphically related. What taste
that man has Mark Twain writing a
book of travel to afford information All
[ can say is that Scribner would not have
undertaken the contract, nor should |
have regretted that [ had not purchased
the book for the TELEGRAPH-COURIE [
could not even have read it, as one grows
SO tired of M. T.; and furthermore | do
not think that such joker could have
lived through SO many varied trials to his
humOr, as he would have laughed him
self to death over The Zanzibaris, or his
companions would have poisoned him to
be rid of his vile Jokes and villainOus
chatter.

That left 100 to cause death. The best au.
thorities state that 10 per cent of current
Is stopped at the point of contact, and that
IS per cent. is thus expended in the body.
Eghty-fve per cent. of the 700 volts not
consumed today by the test lamps is sos
volts OF pressure. This is not enough
to surely kill man instantly with good
contact, and that of today was not perfect.
The warden says all was working right
this morning, Though last night at mid
night his appliances were in such order
that he was not certain whether the exc
cution would take place today. even though
he had summoned his guests to the prison
at an early hour this morning.
Warden Durston has been through q
terrible ordeal. and the knavery of man
has been pressed upon him so much and
where least expected. that as he says, he
scarcely knows whether to trust himself
The concensus of opinion among the
witnesses here today is that not the slight
est doubt exists that human being may
be instantaneously killed by 1 900 volts APP

ued twenty seconds.

morrow in the prison burying ground with

Democrats Dfstort Blaine's Letter Into
Attack on Mckinley Bill.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug 6.-The Senate
resumed consideration of the tariff bill, the
pending question being on Morgan's 8
amendment to the paragraph in regard to
iron ore. German resumed his argument
and spoke at great length in favor of re-
duction OF the duty on Bessemer ore, hay
ing IN the course of his remarks colloquies
with Sherman, Spooner, Blair and other
senators. German said that with reduc-
ton on foreign Bessemer ores the result
would be steel ships built as cheapIy in
Baltimore as on the Clyde. With that adj
vantage. he said, the prediction of the
great Republican secretary of state would
be verified.
Frye Immediately took the door in an
swer to Gorham and said:
The secretary of state has been quoted several
times in the Senate as arguing that the Nc
Kinley bin does not in any of its features open
up markets. Now the secretary of state was
dealing in that letter entirely with foreign, and
not home markets / do not understand that in
q protective tariff there is an especial purpose
to open mp foreign markets. 1t is the purpose
of protective tariff to create home market,
which is worth infinitely more than any foreign
market. and that was undoubtedly the under
standing of the secretary of state, and not the
purpose to reflect at all on the Mckinley bill
except so far as there was nothing in 1t intended
TO open up foreign markets and he desired to
have something put in IL in the way of reeip-
rocity by which foreign markets might be
opened up.
Gray spoke of the remarkable gloss put
by Frye on Blaine's letter, and he went on
to rea extracts from the letter to show
that Frye's Interpretation of 1t was not the
correct one.
Frye stated in reply to Gray that Blaine
had criticised the bill in simply one regard,
numely, the provision making sugar free.
In his judgment Blaine had simply criti.
cized it because the free sugar provision
was not accompanied with provision that
would open up the markets of the South
American countries to the products of
American farmers. There was no other
criticism made by Blaine on the Mckinley
bill. and he himself sympathized in that
criticism.
Gibson denied the statement that Blaine's
letter referred to sugar alone, and asserted
that ii referred also to hides and wool and
ores. The secretary of state stood COM
mitted, he said, to broad policy of reci-
prOClty Will TIC Stash AucLiCau anu (eu-
tral American states.
German withdrew his amendment in or
der to allow Morgan to offer an amend
ment reducing the duty on iron ore from
IS to so cents per ton.
Plumb moved to amend the amendment
by making the rate 60 cents. German ac-
cepted the amendment. The amendment
was rejected. yeas 81. nays %
The paragraph was then agreed to as re-
ported by the finance committee.
Vance moved to reduce the duty on pig
iron. the next paragraph, frem $40 of q
cent per pound to s. ton. Without dis
posing OF the amendment the Senate ad-
iourned. -

CANADIAN Pac,f,e competltlon.

WAsHIEGToN CRY, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Window sent today to the Senate letter
in answer to the resolution calling on him
for information regarding the shipment in
bond of merchandise between Atlantic and
Pacific ports over Canadian railways. The
secretary says that merchandise in bond,
appraised and unappraised, and goods of
domestic origin, are forwarded over these
railroads under bond. and. on the arrival
of such bonds at Vancouver, transhipment
is made under the supervision of United
States officers, who certify the facts upon
the manifesto.
The secretary quotes the authority under
which such transportation is permitted,
and expresses the opinion thar. as under
the regulations of the department Ameri-
can vessels only are allowed to be employed
in transporting goods, the laws of the
coasting trade are not violated. He further
says he has no knowledge that the Grand
Trunk railroad has violated the revenue or
coasting laws OF the United States in trans
porting merchandise between places in
the United States.
