HOW PROTE ;rION WORKS.
From the London Spectator.


No sooner is the first batch Of sta
tistics published th IN it becomes evil
dent that once again protection has
failed in its object. 1t is the old story.
Protection has driven trade in some
what different channels, has raised
prices to the consumer and has forced
him to use a worse article. Taken as
a whole, however, the Mckinley act,
with all its elaborate provisions. its
multitude of provisos and its bristling
schedules, has failed to exclude the
pauper labor in Europe. 1t has fined
the American consumer, and
has divided that fine be
tween the state and the capitalist
producer: but it still allows the for
eigper to "pillage" the Republic al
largely as he pillaged it before. The
statistics from which these conclusions
are deduced have been collected ant
published by the New York Associa
ticn Press. The figures dealing will

BITTEN BY A CAT.
A Child OF Mrs. Dillon Pain
fully Injured.

The Nevada Democrat Of yesterday
contains the following:
Mis-. Thomas Dillou of Archie,
Cass county, No., arrived in this city
on an early morning train accompan-
led by her little boy four years old.
Mrs. Dillon inquired as to a maidstone
and was directed to H. L. Millers
drug store. The facts developed that
her little child had been attacked and
bitten in one foot and alb out the ankle
by pet cat. The animal, it is sup,
posed had a fit as it was ferocious in
its attacks upon the child. When the
mother heard the child's screams she
ran out doors and found that the
child was seated in a swing and the
cat was attacking the child savsgely.
The cat had the first toe Of the foot in
its mouth and had to bs beaten and
choked off The animal was subse-
quently killed.
To-day Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Tucker
applied the maidstone fifteen times in
about as many places and the stone
adhered. The child was then made
as comfortable as possible. The
mother and child returned home on
the afternoon train.
Much interest is centered in this
distressing case and results are awaited
with great interest.

FAMILY MANI ARISTOCRACY.

AMlL1 NAN AhISA0NnASA L.
From tbs New York World.
The trainers of the American con-
stitution are fortunate in being deaf.
1t spares them the distress of learning
from letters written by the wise ones
Of this earth to the newspapers how
badly they did their work.
1t was one of their pet ideas that
there should be no unnecessary tests
or determinations in politics. They
thought the people ought to be left
free to choose their fittest men for
Office without religious, class or social
distinctions. The wise ones know
better.
The latest critic of the fathers writes
to On infallible Republican journal to
point out the tendency Of democrats
to elevate bachelors to Office quite as if
they were respectable members of
society. Buchanan, Tilden, Cleve-
land before he married, Hill all these
men have been supported in their sins
BY needless and wreckless Demo-
cracy, and in the opinion of this re.
former it is time to put stop to such
iniquity. The Constitution must be
amended. Office mus: be sacredly
reserved for family men," Ii MN
with political ambitions neglect to
marry they must take the corse-
auences. Bachelors must be anathe-
ma maraniha, and by necessary H.
ference childles. married men like
George Washington must give the
pas TO men with sons of the Russell
Harrison order.
So shall domesticity lie exalted {!
The milk bottle shall dec 1ate the
front windows of the White House,
and the sound of jocuud spanking
shall be heard within the precincts.

intentions beaming from his face. 1t

happy. Undoubtedly there will be
chroniclei in q day or two marriage

Dock Gross has Just returned fro m
a trip through Henry, st. Clair. Dade
and Cedar counties. 1.-The crops"
he said, to the Gos,iper, "are splen-
did ell through that section-espe-
cially 40 as to corn and wheat. The
fruit crop also is ine-superior if
anything to that Of this section. Ap-
Piles and peaches sell at the Greenfield
evaporator for fifteen cents per
bushel. A good deal of fax is raised
through that section, but the crop
this season is short"
"The city is as quiet as l have ever
known it to be, as regards disturb
ances." remarked Judge Halftead tc
the Gossiper yesterday. "There have
been scarcely a half a d'zen cases in
this court during the week. Com
pared with other cities of similar size
you can see that Sedalia is a model Of
quietness and good order. An occa'
sioual case Of intoxicatiol or of rail
way trespassing is about the sum tots
of infringements on the city ordi-
nauces.

Rapidity of movement is apt to be ac- companied by sacrifice of dignity, es- pecially if you happen to have vicious dog at your heels. It would be stretching point to say that our spring suits have any dignity because the term is not usually applied to inanimate objects, but if they have no dignity of their own they at least impart dignity to the wearer who in return may be said to invest them with sort of personal animation. If there is anything in this life that is positively depressing it is the unfortunate who is condemned to wear an unbecoming suit of clothes. He may try to appear unconscious of the atten- tion he attracts, but he is victim of in ward embarrassment, even though he gives no outward evidence oft. You will have no cause for embarrassment if you buy your clothing at our store, without stretching it particle. We can say that we show the nobbiest and best fitting line of Suits, Spring Overcoats and Pants to be found in this city.

It is very much easier to get into a lunatic asylum than it is to get out again, which leads the New York Con. tinent to argue that there ought to be a more formal and public investigation of the charge of insanity than now pre- cedes a commitment. The same law which frowns upon the attempt of a husband to divorce himself "quietly and easily" from the invalid wife of whom he has wearied furnishes him with every opportunity to rid himself of her presence by the aid of complacent, or often ignorant, physicians and private insane asylums and retreats. The pu = licity attending an open examination by a commission would no doubt frequently occasion much suffering and mortifica- tion in worthy households, where the dreaded specter of insanity had suddenly entered. But far better all such suffer ing than that a single individual should be wickedly and cruelty deprived of his or her liberty,

Serenadtd the Editor.

The editor of the Aroostook (Me.) ) North Star was serenaded by COW a few nights ago. He says: ''She sta tioned herself directly under our bed room window and began to ring the changes and variations on the most un- earthly and discordant COW bell that ever was turned out of a foundry. 'Ifng-a-ling, clapety-clap, ding-dong, whang-bang, tickle, tickle We had been expecting that the addition of a prominent North Aroostoo!l granger to the editorial management of the Star would elicit some agricultural response, but we had not expected the response to take the shape of a serenade by an 1ld cow at two o'clock in the morning." After listening to the doleful and dis training sound for half an hour the editor arose in his wrath and his night gown and with a club convinced the cow that she had walked up the wrong journalist. Such is newspaper mans life in northern Maine. e
