Highway robbery and the conf
dence trick as means of obtaining
wealth without work are tiInii and
clumsy methods beside the perform
ance of a genius in Kansas a few days
ago. a farmer named Myrick rented
a piece of land near Norwich, n COLI
siderable distance from his farm and
a few weeks ago cut his crop, stacked
it safely, and went home. Two days
afterward a man who said he was
Myrick appeared at Norwich and
claimed the wheat. The real Myrick
was unknown in Norwich, and the
claimant passed for him unquestioned.
lie hired q threshing outfit. with
teamsters and all n~eccessar, help. and
had the wheat threshed out. lie an
nounced that q tendency 10 sunstroke
prevented him from working in the
sun, and the wheat was thrashed ut
night. Next day he delivered most
of the wheat to a buyer in Norwich
and collected the pay for it. Then he
told the thrashcrs he would be around
again next day 10 finish the work.
But he skipped Oh the east-bound
train without paving them and with
over $1,000 as the fruit of his clever
husbandry.

The New York Press, one of the
ablest edited papers in this country,
says:
A correspondent asks the following
question: IF protection advances
wages and free trade reduces them,
how is it that in England, since the
policy OF free trade was adopted,
wages have advanced in all occupa-
lions from so to 100 per cent?
Because the wages of an English
workingman have double since some
remote lime in the past, it does not
follow that he receives twice as
much value now as then. Wages in
England have however risen since the
time of the adoption of free trade,
though they are now only about one
half as high as in the United States.
Labor saving machinery and i'm
proved processes of production and
the discovery of new mines. land and
other sources of wealth throughout
the world have multiplied the effec-
~tivcness of n days labor. 1t is what
labor produces that determines its
pay. Labor throughout the world,
producing more from year TO year,
has received greater and greater re-
ward. In all countries on earth the
workingman has been thus benefited.
Ii England has advanced in this re-
spcct il has only done what China,
too, has done.
An important Of the high
wages in britain is the superior con
dition of labor in u W country,
which has enticcd millions of British
laborers hither, thus relieving the
glut in the labor market abroad. The
example OF our well paid, well fed
and well housed workingmen has had
a marked effect in e~levating condition
of labor in Great Britain. Taking a
comprehensive view of the facts it is
not too much to say that the improv-
ment in British laborers is chiefly if
not wholly due to the workings of
the protective tariff in the United
States.

The extra session of the Tennessee
Legislature. called for twenty days,
has used up eighteen of its working
days and is no nearer a settlement of
the trouble than when it began. Pro-
position after proposition has been
made, only to be abandoned. Resolu-
ton after resolution has been passed
in one branch of the Legislature, only
to be negatived by the other branch.
1t is pretty clear that the coal COM
pany, the miners, the Sheriff and the
Governor will be left to fight the
matter out.

The Bahama pirates have been
writing to the English press COLL
planning that an American revenue
cutter prevented them from CON-
pletely looting and carrying of the
American steamer Ell Dorado, which
had been stranded ON a British reef.
They 60 SO far in their anger as to
pronounce the act of cutting n "grcat
outrage" and an "open and undisguis-
ed violation of the territorial rights
of Great Britain" For the future
guidence OF these pirates, and to
save them from the e~nervating effects
of heated and turtle acts to pillaging
American ships, We may say that we
propose TO protect our property,
whether it be OIL coral reefs or the
high seas, at all hazards, even if it
takes a half a dozen revenue cutters
or the whole of the United States
Navy.

COGRflNG WIDOW.

There is any amount of fun in
counting a young girl who has not
become used to it. She swallows all
the soft things a fellow says but when
it ONE to popping the question, or
something of that kind, she gets
frightened more or less, and wants
time to consider until there are
enough loop-holes for her lover to slip
out through without the least bit of
trouble, if he happens TO see some
one he thinks he could love a shade
or two BETTER. Young girls are
timid and shy in earnest, and if a
fellow is not pretty certain he has
found precisely the angel he is look
ing for, he can manage SO as to have
the refusal of her for q year or more,
and at the same time manage 10 keep
his neck put of the reach of q breach
of promise suit when he happens to
meet another sweet-faced angel that
seems to him to be better suited to
his tastes.
1t is different with a widow. She
gets rid of all her shyness at the
earliest convenient opportunity, and
finds out the principal things she de-
sircs to know of him before she allows
him TO get acquainted. The school,
girl trusts herself to q fine young
fellow on sixty or ninety days sight
without security: but the widow. like
. thrifty wholesale house, goes out
nd examines the mcrchantile reports

IN her own terms for cash. She has

market, and when she looks as if she

iill never look any further, but will

The negroes have never been stirred
by the impulse of migration which
has manifested itself SO nightly in
other races, and there is little or no
evidence of any Enthusiasm among
them for this scheme of colonization
in Liberia. They cling to. the soil on
which they were born and reared
with a~ffectionate and almost invincible
tenacity. 1t doesl,ot follow, however,
that the colored people OF this country
may not hereafter. with the growth
of intelligence and selfreliance among
them, seek opportunities for lettering
their condition by ~einigrating to new
regions. Nor is it improbable that
the millions of negroes who inhabit
the jungles of western Africa may
not some day cross the NATION strip
of ocean that separates them from
Brazil and become the predominant
race in that country.
