Representative Hunsucker /

Representative Hunsucker has intro
duced bill in the Washington legisla-
ture which, if it becomes law, will
compel the Union Pacific to not only
operate the portage road on the Washing
ton side of the Cascade rapids, but will
force them to carry freight from oppo-
sition boats, over the portage, at the
rate of 45 cents a ton. We devoutly
hope the bill may pass. The more ways
for competition with the present monop-
oily, the better for the people.

A Farmers Predicament.

A western Nebraska farmer, having
no corn to feed them, loaded up wagon
box full of shoats and took them to
Broken Bow to sell. No one would take
them, and he turned them loose. The
marshal told him he would arrest him
unless he took them out of town. He
then drove home and was going to kill
them when some one told him that he
might be arrested for cruelty to animals.

THE TENNESSEE TROUBLE.

The trouble in Tennessee calls attention
sharply to an evil which prevails in sew
eral southern States. This is the leasing
out of convicts in gangs to mine owners
and other large employers. The plan
has been common in the South and it
brings to the State a considerable revenue.
But it is not economical in the long run
and its application is almost invariably at
tended with disgraceful cruelties OF serious
disturbances. Workingmen have right
to complain of system under which con-
victs are sent by the State in large gangs
to take the place of other workmen in
mines or in the employment of corpora
tions. Such labor is necessarily cheap.
The contractors have to subsist and to
guard the convicts, whose labor is of un-
certain value at best, and they conse-
quently get their labor force at a low
rate. This would be bad enough if the
| convict labor. were merely brought into
competition with free labor, but in the
Briceville case it was especially exasper-
ating to the miners because they were on
strike to obtain better terms, and the
| convicts were leased from the prison
authorities to take their places. The
State, by supplying cheap labor to the
mining company, became the real compel
| itor with the strikers and rendered Their
case hopeless. And such competition does
not do the convicts any more good than il
does the workingmen.
1t is to be hoped that the trouble can be
settled without bloodshed. The governor
of Tennessee is, of course, right in de-
manding that the law must be obeyed a.
long as it is a law, but change ought tc
be made as soon as possible.

SAVED!
Not long ago it was seriously feared by
many that the Chinese would overrun this
country in an industrial way, and many
learned essays have been written to show
that when they chose to make use of their
resources they could also do in military
way very much as they pleased. The idea
was that their hundreds of millions could
acquire the arts of war which prevail in
civilized countries and that then they would
be irresistible. But this idea is finding op-
position. It is asserted that the Chinese
do not make good soldiers. Officers can
be taught all the technical branches of
military duty, but no teaching will in
spire them with the qualities re-
quired to make them organizers or
leaders of men. It is in these
higher respects than the Chinese have,
thus far, entirely failed to adapt them
selves to the>new condition of things An
English military officer, who has made
personal study of the Chinese army, says
that their instruction is of little use, as
the Chinaman will learn anything, but will
fail altogether to act up to the spirit of
what he has learned. Where the custom
is followed, as it still seems to be in China,
of having allotted to each regiment a
certain number of executioners for the
purpose of keeping the soldiers up to the
required standard of discipline, it needs
little further evidence to show an inapti-
tude for intelligent warfare.
Good. 1t is relief to be able to feel
that the Chinese are not likely to march
from San Francisco to New York except
as laundrymen

MAN HAS MANY mAKE-UPs.
The Secrets Revealed by Tailor,s Log
Book.

Book.
[From the London News.
The ''Tailor's Log" is printed only for
private circulation. Its authors are mem
bers of the Amalgamated Society of Tail
ors.
The great majority of journeymen tail
ors, it should be noted, are allowed a GER
tain numbers of hours for the making up
of garment, and are paid, in good shops,
at the rate of sevenpence an hour. This
is the key to the system upon which the
log is arranged. According to the time
stipulated for the making up of each gar
ment, so is the workman to be paid.
The work under consideration is gener-
ally alluded to as "The Log" but, as
matter of fact, it consists of several logs
There is, among others, a coat log, a trou-
sers log, vest log, machine log, and also
log for ladies' riding habits and other
tailor made clothing. But it would be un-
generous to expose the secrets that under
lie the manufacture of these more exquisite
garments. To disclose the mysteries of the
riding habit log would show a want of
chivalry. With its revelations of padding
and pinching it might disenchant us of
that most charming sight-a lovely woman
on horseback in the Row.
Nobody will be angry with us, perhaps,
If we dive into the mysteries of the ''frock
coat log" except the gentleman who occs-
sionally advertises in the matrimonial
papers his possession of "nice square shoul-
ders." Such shoulders are often made to
order When made of haircloth or extra
canvas, the journeymen charges one hour
for them-that is, If they do not exceed
nine inches-and one hour more if they ex-
ceed that measurement, or part of 1t.
For padding or wadding basted on can
vas in shoulder" the log specifies half an
hour extra, with one hour for ''wadding
fash bastsd through sides" and two hours
for shoulders built with from two to three
piles ofswadding, canvas or cloth"
An ordinary coat that does not conceal
inequalities of the figure can be made up in
thirty-five and one-half hours. Yet any
one putting on q coat of this simple manu-
facture would be surprised to hear the
mysterious processes that are involved in
the manufacture of it. Here are some of
them, with the time to each, all duly set
down in the coat log;
Putting in thread marks and fitting up,

TWO CONSCIENTIOUS PEOPLE.

A"o SoNoClENTlOUSP PEOPIE.
A consistent woman is Mrs. Mary Smith
Hayward of Chadron, Nebraska, who hay
ing set her face as flint against the fash
ion Of wearing birds and fragments of
birds as ornaments upon bonnets will not
let muscle of it relax. This would not
be surprising in itself, since many women
have made the resolution never to wear
them, and have vigorously adhered to it,
but the resolve, but then their purses were
not affected by the resolve, unless perhaps
for the better. Mrs. Hayward, however,is
milliner, owning a large and handsome es-
tablishment, and in all her stock no bird
nor wing of bird is to be found. She will
not be party to the traffic in slaughtered
birds, though her income should be mate
rally lessened.
Another bright example of consistency
is found shining in the East. A gentleman
now engaged in literary work in Boston
was requested to write an advertisement
for prominent tobacco firm, his price for
an advertisement, written in his peculiar
and attractive style, being one hundred
and fifty dollars. He refused, explaining
that as he did not himself use tobacco, and
as he believed it to be injurious to those
who did use it, his conscience would not
allow him to recommend it. Verify there
are few people to whom money, little or
much, is of less value than the elf-respect
which is founded upon adherence to prin-
ciple. HILARY.

hold land in that. State has made itself

hold land in that State has made itself
felt. The American cotton company
which was organized several months ago
in London, with capital of $25, 200. 900,
bought out the Kansas City, Kans., cordage
company, and an option was secured on
100 acres of land. An agent was sent to
buy the land, but run up against the alien
law. He consulted attorney generals all
over the country, but the lawyers rendered
an opinion to the effect that no foreigner
can hold land in Kansas under the law.
This decision has caused great alarm
among unnaturalized aliens in the State,
who fear that recently acquired property
will be confscated.
Mr.. Cooke, the London magistrate who
presides over the Marlborough Street
police court, has just given decision of
great importance to the notorious Pelican
Club and other similar institutions. It is
to the effect that clubs are only clubs, in
the legal sense of the wore, when the MEM
bers are joint owners and cafry on their
affairs in partnership. Proprietary clubs,
in which. the proprietor is manager and
sells food and drink to the members. are
not clubs at all, he saFs, and are subject
to the ordinary license law, which would
subject them to police inspection at all
times, and compel them to close their doors
at the same time as other public-houses
The 'Pelicans," it is needless to say, have
appealed against this ruling, which would
end in their speedy suppression, as pub
lie nuisance. They have been the chief
patrons of prize fighters and kindred black
guards of even lower degree, and have

THE GRAY NUN,

THE GRAY NUN.
There comes, each dying day to bless,
A little while before thenight,
gentle nun in convent dress
OF clinging robes all gray and white.
She lays her cool hand on my face
And smoothes the lines of care away;
Her tender touch, with magic grace,
Dispels the worries of the day.
She folds the mystic curtain by
That hides from view the shadowy throng,
And gives me those for whom sigh,
The vanished friends for whom long.
Sometimes she brings perfumed spray
Or flowers that bloomed long y ears ago,
The breath Of Summer laid away
Meath many a Winters drifted snow.
No other guest gives such delight,
Nor can of peace bestow the same
And Twilight is the gray nuns name.
