A Court street car in Brooklyn stopped
at Harrison to let lady wearing a
spring hat ahght- At the same moment
a lady wearing her winter hat wanted to
take the same car. They met face 10
face on the lower step. They were
strangers. The one with the spring hat
had the right Of way, and she tossed her
head in defiant manner. Winter Hat
felt that the odds were against her, but
she braced up and looked the other
square in the eye and refused to give
way.
"All outm shouted the conductor,
reaching for the bellrope.
Spring Hat would not bulge. Winter
Hat would not retreat.
"All aboard!'
Spring Hat glarcd at Winter Hat, and
the end of her nose was elevated bit.
Winter Hat returned the glare, and her
pug nose tried the same dodge, but
couldn't elevate.
Ladies, don't detain the carl" cried
the conductor, and his words encouraged
Winter Hat TO renewed exertions. She
pulled herself up the step, crowded
Spring Hat against the side Of the car.
and entered the door with smile Of
triumph on her face. The other stepped
off, gave her skirts shake and her head
a toss and walked away, but despite her
dignity and defiance the conductor
looked after her and said:
Finest spring hat on the whole line,
but the lady inside takes the gate re-

There Is a singular state of affairs in
Tennessee, in relation to the election
law sought to be passed in the last
Legislature in that state Is seems that
an attempt was made to pass an cleo
ton bin applying to counties having =
population OF fifty thousand, but IN
process of its passage the registration
clause was made to read "having q vot-
ing population of fifty thousand" Az
a fact, no county in the state has
"yoting' population amounting to that
number The blunder is the more re-
narkable, "a the preceding Legislature
made similar blunder, necsssitating
an extra session. Ii Is though. that the
Governor will again convene the Legs
latGre Ia another extra session, az the
error invslidates all the election laws
of the state. IL the average modern
Legislature would give less attention to
pedro. iunkets and jollity, and more
time to work, better legislation, at less
expense, would DO the result.

When the protective system was
adopted by this government, the dis
lance across the ocean and the imper-
feet means of transportation in those
days formed important elements in
the sum total of protection. A COM
paratively low tariff rate, n view Of
those circumstances. afforded ample
protection against foreign wares. But
after the Atlantic cable had expedited
communication and steamships had
practically annihilated the distance,
and subsidized lines had reduced
freights, everything was changed. Low
tariff rates are now of no use as pro-
tective measures. Higher rates on all
products with which we can provide
ourselves are now necessary to protect
our laborers against direct competition
with those of foreign countries. Tho
question of protection by Transports.

Tho Investigation Of Porter.

Tho special committee appointed by the
National Civil Service Reform League to
Investigate tho methods Of Mr.. ROBERT p.
PORTER charge that the Eleventh Census Is
grossly partisan and inaccurate: and they
attribute the badness Of tho work to PoR-
TER's failure TO select his subordinnteS by
competitive examination.
The general conclusions Of Mr.. FoULKE.
Mr.. BoNAPARTE. Mr.. MAoyEAaH. Mr.. DANA.
and Mr.. ROOMS about the worthlessness Of
the census are undoubtedly sound: but
theso gentlemen have managed to put the
cart before the horse.
An honest and capable Superintendent
might have conducted a satisfactory census
without holding single competitive ex-
animation. or appointing II single Democrat
rs supervisor. or enumerator. or special
agent, or clerk.
The main source Of the costliness and
fraudulency Of the most extravagant and
most dishonest census ever taken is In an
appointment that would not and could not
have been made upon the competitive ex-
animation plan under any circumstances.
This was the appointment Of ROBERT P.
PORTER as Superintendent Of the Census by
President HARRISON.
The scandal OF the Eleventh Census leads
directly to PORTER himself. 1t Is matter
of personal character and personal fitness.
The inevitable investigation by the Fifty
second Congress will be prosecuted on that
Tine, and not for the vindication OF any theory
