Steamships DO Not Want Corpses.

who was bringing the body of his wife
from Constantinople to Cincinnati We
each suspected the other of the same
errand from the first. Poor devil! He
had had hard pull getting across the
continent. In one place the railroad
officials forbade the carrying of the
body, but he got around it by hiring q
whole car and bribing men to let him
couple it to the train himself. It was
his wife's last wish to be buried at
home. ] often think If people realized

The Rock County News, paper
which in politics is anything to be on
the winning side, sees that sugar has
been cheapened by removal of the duty,
and then asks why the Republicans do
not 60 on with the good work and let
in everything free. AS Congressman
Dolliver would say, the editor of the
News ought to go to night school.
Sugar, as are also tea and coffee, is al
most exclusively a foreign production.
1t can be imported into this country
free of duty, simply because 1t is an ar
ticle that is not raised here and does
not enter into competition with home
production. That, as much as any
thing, illustrates the policy OF tie party
of protection. In other words, it is to
pass all such laws and fix such duties,
as will enable our people to make
their own goods; to encourage Ia
Dor at home instead of exchange
of money for goods manufactured
abroad; to assist our neighbor here
before helping out competitor
acorss the sea; and to foster the idea
idea that if the European mechanic
wants to profit by American sales, there
is plenty of room in America for him to
come over and do so. The protective
system was devised to build up the
whole country; to knit together all it's
industries, and not to lop off one that
another might receive a temporary
boom. Cheap prizes are nice enough,
but it should be remembered that there
IS not near so much to be gained by know
ing where to spend a dollar to the best
advantage, as in knowing where the
next dollar is to come from. Give a
man all the tempting inducements of
low prices that you will, and, If he
hasn' the wherewith to buy, what prof
it is there in it to him? The protective
system would reverse this. It works
Ion the theory that encouragement of
the manufacturing industry, encourages
all; that adding to the consuming class
adds 10 the benefit of the producers; that
. a thriving labor element in diversified
country like .his, means a better condi-
tion of things all around, higher prices
perhaps, but more money with which
( to meet them. When there is nothing
Ito protect, as in the case of sugar, the
protectionist believes in removing duties.
It hurts no one then, and helps every
body. But when there is an industry
to protect, looping off Of tariffs cannot
help nybody and must hurt every body;
for the Industries of the country are so
dependent upon each other that to III.
jure one, Injuries all. That is at least
one reason why Republican congress

those articles where they thought It
was needed.

Another buiWark Of liberty who's

maintenance is essential to the perpe-
tuity Of our institutions, is a free, fear
less and incorruptible press. No other
agency is 50 potent for good or evil in
our midst. Before it tyranny is power
less and vice assembling fugitive. It is
at once, the molder and the oracle of
public opinion, and, while its warning
voice is sounded from the watch towers
of society, the state is safe alike from
outward siege and internal plot. Not
less incumbent upon the patriotic citi-
zen is the duty of supporting the sys-
tenn of popular education. Foreign
commentators, who are disposed, per-
haps, to give too little credit to our
form of government, are accustomed to
attribute our prosperity chiefly to this
feature Of our political and social sys-
tenn. It is not probable that we, who
have experienced its beneficial effects,
will be disposed to underv,.lue this po-
tent element of our prosperity, but it is
appropriate on this occasion to suggest
that its usefulness from the standpoint
of the patriot. might be enhanced, if
more attention were given to acquiring
familiarity with the institutions under
which we live and lively interest
in all that awakens and promotes patri-
otto zeal.-From the Memorial Address
of Hon. Hiram F. Stevens of St Paul.
There is however no use of counting
on an election for Merriam or any other
Republican in '93, as the legislature
will be overwhelmingly anti.Republi-
can.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
The editor of the Herald shows very
!itele knowledge of politics in penning
the above. If Merriam ever goes to
the senate, it will be through just such
a legislature as the Herald predicts for
1898. Merriam doesn't want the de.
Gliding votes to be those of Republicans.
His actions ana appointments of late
show that he expects his support from
Alliance men and Democrats, and he
knows that staunch Republicans would
have none of him in theirs. Between MIR.
Donnelly and himself an understanding
exists, and when the time comes, what
ever is Donnelly's will be Merriam's.
This seems clear to US and we fail to
see why it shouldn't be equally evident
to every political observer. Give Mer-
riam and Donnelly an Alliance-Demo-
cratic legislature to work upon, and
Merriam will go to the senate as sure
as the sun does not fail to rise in the
east. Let the legislature be Republi-
can, and the chosen one will be that
brilliant statesman, Cushman Davis,
who in point of ability, to use the words
of Ingersoll, is as far above Merriam
as ''the domed temple is above the beg.

fair Cutting in the East.

In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then being
considered manageable. Up to that
time it is coiled ON the top of the head
and adorned with fresh flowers. When
the great day for cutting comes there is
a grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was presented at a royal hair
cutting tells us that the darling of the
harem was robed in long flowing gar
ments of silk and lace, confined at the
waist by a golden girdle. Her long hair,
confined for the last time, was fastened
with diamond pins, which cleaned and
glittered among fresh white flowers and
green leaves like pearly drops of morn
ing dew. There, in the presence of the
ladies, her father and an officiating
priest, surrounded by her maidens, some
ZOO in number, she knelt under a can
opy of flowers and leaves while prayers
were chanted.
Then the beautiful tresses being un-
bound by her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rose water and drawing them
carelessly over her head, clipped off
about an eighth of an inch of hair and
threw it into a golden basin, depositing
at the same time on a great salver
placed ready to receive them, presents of
jewels and gold. The priest cut the
next piece, her mother the next and so
on, each guest serving in turn until the
little lady was shorn.
All gave costly gifts intended for her
marriage dover, princes, ministers of
state and dignitaries of all sorts, who
waited in the outer courts, sending in
theirs by the attendants. The day ended
in feasting and a display of fireworks
