A TRANSPARENT HumBuecERY.

The OhlO Napoleon, MCKINNEY, is not
above clap-trap in his demagogis appeals
to the people of Ohio. He has collected
a number OF interesting statistics about
the consumption by the American peo-
pie of different staples, which is sup
posed, by some inscrutable process of
logic, to have resulted from the McKin-
ley bill, whose only apparent effect so
far seems to have been to paralyze bust
ness and reduce the revenue to mini
mum. At the conclusion of one of his
fervid appeals, Ohio's ''sweet William"
asked, "Why shouldn't we make tin
plate ?" Nobody sees any special
objection to making tin plate, but
a great many people wonder why
some encouragement was not given to
the tin miner. As matter of fact, the
duty on tin plate was increased $25
ton, but the promoters of the infant in
dustry of producing tin were not en-
couraged to the extent of a sou marquee
in the way of duties. Block tin is ad-
mitted free of duty, and yet the only
man that is worthy of encouragement in
this whole business is the producer OF
block tin. When Harrison passed through
Southern California there was great
jubilation at the exhibition of several
tons OF block tin in the windows of the
Santa Fe railway Office. This tin had
been produced in the Cajalco mines of
the Temescal range, and foolish Repub-
lican bloviators said, "Lo and behold
here is the effect of the Mckinley bill |!
See how it has already encouraged home
production" Then these jealous zanies
began to find out the fact that block tin
was admitted free of duty, and they
closed up their boomerang bazoo. They
could toot it no longer In view Of the
truth. With all the blather about es-
tablishing tin plate industry in the
United States, there has not been any
made yet, though Mr.. Niedring-
haus, of st. Louis, in let
ter to the New York World,
says he hopes to be able to produce some
by the 18th of September. He expects
to do this by the importation of Welsh
tin plate manufacturers. And thus is
American labor protected. Sweet land
OF Columbia, thy name is humbug. The
HERALD showed, some weeks ago, that a
profit OF nearly eight hundred thousand
dollars was made in California alone on
the inportations of tin plate which had
been made in anticipation of the
passage of the Mckinley bill
and we assumed that, if the San Fran
cisco custom house could exhibit such a
result, the country at large must surely
show profit to the Republican McKin-
ley ring of at least eight million dollars.
That is pretty good starter for the
great American industry that has thus
far probably manufactured three or four
hundred dollars worth of inferior tin
cans! Any one who should look for a
greater result than that must be pesti.
lent fellow, not easily satisfied, and un.
worthy to train with the Mckinley
crowd. Yea, verify! 81.

GlRdsto in Debate,

Gladstone's aptness in debate does not
diminish with his increasing years. OF
late he has husbanded his strength for the
more important affairs of state; but, I'M
less the recent attack of illness has inn
paired his faculties, he is still the master
orator of the house. No one can match
him in oratorical fnesse. His voice
strong and resonant, his diction clear
and forcible, he can at times bewilder by
redundancy and circumlocution. When

of concealing thought ly the use of Ian

ton, and with an air Of frankness which
often disarmed suspicion, led the oppo-

there was apparently no outlet.
Gladstone would finish with a high
sounding peroration, but neither his
friends nor his enemies at times could
pick kernel of useful informant N from

A MOTHER OF SOLDIERS.
DEATH OF A WOMAN WHO GAVE
SIX SONS TO THE CONFEDERACY.

The Most Noted OF the Number Was Gem
eraI John III. Morgan, Famous for His
Raids Through Ohio and Indiana-A
Distinguished Family.
Mrs. Henrietta Morgan, who died a
few days ago in Lexington, KY, was
the mother of the famous Confederate
leader, General John II. Morgan, whose
raid through Kentucky, Indiana and
Ohio, in 1864, is conceded to have
been one of the most daring episodes of
the whole war. Mrs. Morgan was
eighty-six years of age. Her illness was
short and her last hours peaceful. She
gave six sons to the Confederacy, and
two daughters were married to Con-
federate generals, one being the wife of
General A. P Hill, the Virginia leader,
and the other the wife of General Basil
w. Duke.
The writer happened to be in Lexing-
ton on the day of Mrs Morgan's funeral
The remains rested in the parlor OF the
handsome mansion, large, three story,
old fashioned brick structure, where she
had lived for half a century. Only rela-
tives and a few friends were present at
the last rites. Some of General Nor

Wesleyan college at Richmond, Eng
land, who accepts the theories of the
German critics relative to the author
ship of the Pentateuch, and is to Eng
hSh Wesleyans what Professor Briggs is
to American Pr sbyterians.
In few days the long expected battle
will be Joined in the New York presbv-
terry over the orthodoxy Of Professor
Briggs. The doctor recently arrived
home from Oxford. where he has been
busy all summer on a Hebrew lexicon.

the origin and growth of this seminary,
and what it stands for and means in the

inhabits, does not look like nest of her
etics. But 1t has never been a safe"

But to resume the narrative. In 1859
augurated which turned the corner.
In a year 100000 was raised and
soon another 100000. Presently an
other plum of $150,00O dropped down.
Next an appeal for 100000 was met.
Then came splendid gift of $780,
600 for the purpose of making the en-
dowments of the professorships-$S0, 900
each. Finally, chief among the great
donations, came that of Governor Nor
gan of 100000.
OF course on the principle that "to
him that hath shall be given" other do
nations of liberal though less amounts
came pattering down until in 1884 the
seminary was able to move from its re-
stricted quarters in University place to
its present site In one of the choicest
spots in New York city.
High among the other names which
have made Union illustrious as a theo-
logical fortress is that of Henry B.
Smith. The initial impulse did not
come from him, but he it was who put
the stamp on Unions theology which
it has worn ever since. His reputation
was never widely popular one, but in
theological warfare he was admitted to
be a master spirit. And, like a great
warrior, he was greatest in making
terms of honorable and lasting peace.
When, after more than "thirty years
war;" old school and new school grew
weary of fighting, it was due mainly to
Professor Smith of Union that the breach
was healed. His pre-eminent services at
this crisis drew from President Patton
of Princeton the oft quoted panegyric
that Henry B. Smith was the hero of
reunion"
Professor Smith came to Union in
1850; he relinquished active service in
1874 and died in 1877. Thus his quarter
of century of leadership brought the
seminary from struggling infancy to
fixed and lofty place in theological life.
But many other strong hands contrib
uted in this toll. Union has, in fact,
been wonderfully fertile in great men.
No doubt verdict by the presbytery
that the writings and teachings Of Pro-
fessor Briggs make him an unsafe guide
Cor youth intending to enter the Presby-
terrain ministry will hurt, for the time
being at least, Unions influence and
prosperity But her friends are facing
the approaching trial With bold front.

A Baron Before the Mast.

Baron de Sede is a young Frenchman
who has lots of leisure. plenty of money
and taste for yachting. At his club
in Paris one evening some weeks ago ne
got into a discussion with friends re-
garding seamanship. and declared that
a yachtman's experience qualified him
for nearly any sort Of work on ocean
going vessels. This proposition being
disputed a wager Of several thousand
francs was made, and to win it the baron
shipped under an assumed name as a
common seaman on the Red Star liner
Noordland.
He reached New York the other day
with bronzed face and blistered hands.
