His Curiosity Was Too Strong.

A delightful story Of the exhibition in
an S-year- old boy of weak human natare
that fails sometimes to be equal to the
strain put upon it comes from Brook
lyn. This small boy has not the virtue
of humility very prominently developed.
Indeed, he is what is known among chill
dren of his own age as proud" and
wont to remind such of his playmates as
are less fortunate than he in worldly
station of his advantages. Now his
mother, who has class in Sunday
school, to which her little son also be-
longs, had given his outgrown overcoat
to another boy in the class.
And then, knowing the failing of her
offspring, before setting out she told him
he must not tell the new owner that the
coat had ever belonged to him. And the
boy promised. But it was terribly hard
work, especially as he sat next the object
of his self restraint during the entire
exercises But he didn't say any
thing, and the mothers heart was
easier. At last. however, just before
school was over, his state Of grace de-
parted from him. Leaning over the
other boy, with cautiously extended
fingers, he said, II just want to see if
that hole is in that pocket yet. New

Self Locking Envelopes.

Doctors have inveighed against the
dangerous gum which is used on some
envelopes, and mishaps have been fire.
quent as the result of damping the gum
on envelopes with the tongue. All pos
sibility of such accidents is removed by
the automatic lock envelopes which have
been patented. On the flap of the en-
velope are two projecting fanges, and
all that is necessary to do to close the
envelope is to fold these fanges by ready
stamped lines, and insert the flap thus
narrowed in a slot provided, whereupon
the folded fanges automatically lock
themselves in the slot, and the envelope
cannot be opened without tearing it.
The operation sounds much more com
plcated than it really is in practice, for
one of these new envelopes can be closed
as readily as the better known gummed
envelopes. New York Telegram

Another Now Gas Lamp,

A new type of gas lamp that has been
introduced abroad consists primarily of
an argand burner inclosed in a globe,
with the air for supporting combustion
admitted both above and below the
fame. The lower supply of air passes
through the center of the burner, while
the upper supply enters from above the
burner into the globe, which incloses
besides the burner a metallic defector
upon which the flame impinges and is
conducted to porcelain bell mouthed
exit above. The supply of air entering
from above isthus highly heated in its
passage. The result of the well balanced
proportions of gas and air admitted to
the globe, which practically becomes the
combustion chamber, results in brill
liant bulb shaped light of high illumi-
mating power.-New York Telegram.

Farmers and the Wool Tariff.

The tariff on wool is all right and the
farmer of this region wants to keep it
right where it is. He will do what he
can in this direction if he knows what
is to his own interest. The republican
party is the only party now on deck
that is in favor of the present tariff on
wool The democrats are bowling to
have it taken off. They are looking
after the man who wears woolen cloth
ing. As the Pioneer has said before.
the settler in these regions, who has to
put up with blizzards, frosts, drouth,
lack of society and the many other dis
advantages of frontier life, is entitled
to little sugar in at least one direc-
ton. He gets it OF the wool he has to
sell. The one industry that is helping
our settlers more than anything else
is the sheep industry, and yet there are
some people. and some of them live
right here, who want to take away
from him what profit he gets ont of his
wool clip. 1t is Wonderful thing that
there should be men who will, for the
sake of a political idea, work and vote.

Some rather startling conclusions as
to the future conditions of the American
plate-glass market, and the prices that
are likely to rule, as well as some forci-
ble illustrations of the operations of a
protective tariff, may be drawn from
the above figures, with other contempo-
raneous facts. Prior to 1883, the i'm
portation of plate glass for glazing pur-
poses was very large. Since that time,
however, the home product so largely
increased each year that the impOrta-
ton steadily decreased until 1890, when
it entirely ceased, so far as glazing
quality is concerned. According to the
above table, the product will be seventy
per cent. larger before the close of 1891.
and plate glass become so cheap that it
can be used in the most ordinary struo-
lures
Fifteen years ago plate glass was SELL
ing at an average price of about g.. 50
per square foot land the manufacturer
lost money at that, but to-day the aver
age price per foot is about sixty cents.
and the margin of profit is still large.
These changes, both as relate to prices
and the supply of the home market by
home product, have been achieved
under fostering tariff, and in the face
of the fact that the product has been
far short of the demand until the past
year.
The only plate glass of any large inn
portation now is the silvering quality of
small sizes, which American manufact-
urers claim they can not afford to pro-
duce under the present low duty on
glass under ten square feet
The benefits of this protected indus
try to the country may be briefly
summed up in the complete supply OF
our entire demand for grazing quality
glass at less than One-fourth the price
formerly paid for it. the employment
meanwhile of vast numbers of work.
men, and the retention in this country
of the money we formerly sent abroad
for glass, thus encouraging our own
shop and store keepers, agriculturists,
and producers and manufacturers,
rather than those of Europe. The plate
glass manufacturers have just now, it is
true, problems of serious moment to
work Out-the need of more skilled
labor and the possibility of overproduc-
ton. Bnt the former will come at their
own risk. when they understand the
situation, and reciprocity will provide
means for disposing of the surplus
product--N. Y. Press

The Issue.

The democrats have not the power to
make the controlling issue in the next
campaign. The issue is already made.
Nobody can dodge it or get rid of it
Politicians do not generally make the
issues for which the people really care.
The millions decide what they want or
do not want for themselves. And they
are going to vote mainly on the tariff
question in the next campaign.
cratic organ unweariedly shouts. But
it will sing small when the next con-
gress has finished it's appropriations
1.-The force bill'' is favorite topic with
southern editors. If they could only
realize how close northern democrats
are to utter disgust with their party,
and to abandonment of it, because of
its defense of southern infamies for
twenty years past, they would change
their tune. Unlimited coinage of sill
ver." western democrats cry. But they
are beginning to unders: and that they
can count upon the loss of every eastern
state as absolutely certain, New Jersey
not excepted, if they commit their party
to that idea, and they do not know
whether they or the Farmers Alliance
will catch the silver vote, of the west.
Meanwhile the tariff question con-
Germs the labor and the business of
every man in the country. Taken with
its natural and legitimate adjunct, the
reciprocity policy for expansion of trade
with Central and South America, it is
SO strong that democrats would like to
dodge it if they could Nor are they to
blame. They can not agree among
themselves what sort of change in the
tariff they want. A large portion of
them know that the new tariff is help
ing the industries of the country beyond
all calculation. They know that any
attempt to frame a different tariff
would split the democratic party. for
Mr.. Randalls death did not take from
the east all the democrats who can see
daylight. The organs of importers at
New York tell the party that it must
fight for free-trade or be beaten.
Against them is the personal interest of
every American worker, every Ameri-
can manufacturer, and all the farmers
who are able TO comprehend what is
going on in the world. The people are
going to vote about the tariff question
in the next presidential campaign, be-
cause there is no other that so directly
concerns their happiness or their indi-
vidual prosperity.-N. y. Tribune.
