In Great nanand

There was rejoicing in the McGilwaY house
hould. such rejoicing as is rarely known, says
the New York Commercial advertiser, save
when there's a boy baby born or papa's
named a winner. Cook forgot to be cross, and
the parrot in the front window sang sweet moth
ings unmolested to the small boy on the fence.
Down in his Office Pa McGilway winked his
matrimonial eye. In my lady chamber was
the busy hum of the sewing machine and the
eternal chatter of the dressmaker with her
mouth full of pins. D.

honors heaped upon her.
But not for long was darling Abbie coming to
make glad the hearts of her parents and to
cause the home Gf her childhood to bloom like
a sweet syringa bush with her presence.
In that long, cool parlor, where the white lace
curtains fiuttered in the June breeze and great
punches of June roses waited to challenge the
coming girl to the test of rival sweetness. there
sat that day in silence ten young men, With
hats in hand all save one were breathing soulful
maledictions against the others for being nearer
the door than they.
Since early morn they had sat there, waiting
the return of her at whose feet were to be laid

Made Himself at Home.

For some time Senator Coke's life at WASH
ington was made bitter as quinine by the visit
of a shiftless constituent who was in search of
a fat berth under Uncle Sam, says the Newark
Standard. During the Senator's absence from
his rooms in his clearinghouse bis devoted
friend would proceed to make himself at home
with brotherly familiarity. using up the sena-
tors paper and envelopes and smoking his fine
old Mexican tobacco.
One day Coke, on his return from the capitol,
found his beloved friend in lordly possession of
his quarters, when the following conversation
ensued:
You'll excuse me, my friend, observed Coke,
'sbut left this room looked when l went off
this morning. and I'm curious to know how
you happened to get in here"
Simplest thing in the world" replied his
genial guest. Rang the bell, told the girl /

parliamentary proceeding. Will you please go

Decidedly the liveliest constable heard of
this year is located at the Colorado village
of Eads. When he was recently told to col
lect from Jay .Gould's Missouri Pacific rail-
way the amount of judgment against an
employe for which the road had been
garnished. he tried several officials aud
waited quite awhile. Then he decided to go
for that SIT so and costs So he sued out an
attachment and applied it to the engine of
the first passenger train that passed. After
about two hours spent in an excited inter
change of kilograms between the division
superintendent and the general superin-
tendent orders were received to pay the
bill and start the train. Now United
States postal inspector who was aboard
threatens to bring suit against the con-
stable for intercepting the United States
mail. But nothing is likely TO come of
that, as his interference with the mail was
merely incidental.

Cholera TRlk

The Boston Herald suggests that from
what the United States consul at Osaka
and Hioga, Japan, says, in a communica-
ton to the Secretary of State, the danger
of cholera in that city this season is not SO
very remote. According to the consul
Asiatic cholera has prevailed to quite an
alarming extent In Japan during the last
year. There are business firms there who
are engaged in shipping rags to Boston and
other parts of this country. Some of the
firms disinfect the rags before they are
shipped, and others do not. Those who do
not expect that the rags will be disin-
fected on their arrival in this country.
1t is questionable whether it would not be
wise to prohibit the importation of rags
from countries in which cholera is preva-
lent Distinction at the ports Of export is
not likely to be very effective, and there are
ports in this country to which rags are sent
which are not provided with proper disin-
fecting apparatus. One Japan firm pro-
poses to send rags to Portland, Me-, and it
is very doubtful II the rags could be rem
dered innocuous there.
Too great precautions for the preserva-
ton of the public health cannot be taken.
At this season of the year the health officers
at all the ports should be particularly
watchful. Negligence, however slight
might open the way for disastrous cpl
demic.
And Japan is not the only country in
which cholera prevails. The other day the
marine hospital issued bulletin in which
it was pointed out that there is a great deal
of the disease on the borders of the Rec
| sea.
Nearly all of the ports of this country ar,
now under quite strict quarantine regula
lions. What is needed particularly is {

The Tin Plate Issue.

The progress made in establishing facto-
ries for the manufacture of tin plate in this
country is not at all gratifying to Maj.
Mckinley and his high protection friends.
They have been proclaiming with great
show Of enthusiasm that by July 1, the time
fixed for imposing duty on tin plate OF
2-10 cents per pound, equivalent to about
40 per cent. ad valorem on the average price
OF tin plate imported last year. there would
be factories in operation sufficient to supply
a very considerable part of the demand for
tin plate. But there have not been any fac
tories established yet 1t is true there has
been a little tin displayed, alleged TO be of
American manufacture. but the supply Is
so limited that, it is said. it was not possible
to get enough American made tin plate for
badges for the delegates to the convention
in Ohio at which Maj. Mckinley was nomi-
mated for governor.
There is no doubt that tin plate can be
manufactured in this country, and doubtless
considerable will be manufactured. The
only thing in the way is the cost of manu-
featuring it, and that can be overcome pro-
vided the tariff is high enough to shut out
effect July l, is very high. and will place
pretty heavy bur den upon all who use tin
ware or food products put up in tin cans.
The question is this: Is it good policy
to tax the whole people to establish and
maintain manufacturing industry when
the manufactured article eau be obtained
from abroad at much less than it can be
produced at homel The men who will be
employed in the tin plate factories will have
to be taken from other eInployments which
can be conducted profitably without taxing
the people. Ard the increased price of tin
will likely force out of employment many
persons engaged in making tin articles
which are marketed abroad. 1t is difficult
to see. therefore, what is to be gained by
trying to force the establishment of an
industry which does not promise to become
self supporting and which will have to be
maintained by money contributed by the
people.
The congress which imposed the tin-plate
tariff had grave doubts whether the tin
plate industry would ever become PRO-
ductive enough in this country to supply
the demand for tin plate, and so it provided
that after six years trial if the amount sup
piled by the American factories was not
equa, to one-fourth of the consumption of the
home market tin plate should be admitted
free. But it made it imperative that the
people should be taxed about s15 1000, 900
a year to make the tin plate experiment.

Getting Ready for Campaign Work.
The democratic leaders recognize the fact
that the result of the political cam
paigns in the different states this
year will have a very important
bearing upon the national campaign
next year, and they have already
taken steps toward arousng enthusiasm
among the democrats and placing the lead
ing issues before the people. A conference
was held in New York last Thursday In
which it was decided that the headquarters
Of the democratic clubs should be opened in
Washington at once, and that Senator Cor
man sfould have charge OF the national
democratic commit ee in the absence Of
Chairman Brice, who starts for Europe
next Wednesday for a brief visit
During the conference there was strong
expression Of opinion in favor OF holding
the next democratic national convention in
Ohio. 1t is expected that the democrats
will carry that state this fall. and it is con-
sidered important that every possible effort
should be made TO carry it in the presiden>
tial year. The holding of the national con-
vention in some of Ohio's cities would. it is
thought, help to accomplish that object.
In the Ohio campaign this year the tariff
will be the chief issue. and the tariff will be
the leading issue in the national campaign
next year. There are other issues, of course,
in the Ohio campaign, but the fact that
Maj. Mckinley leads the republican ticket
makes all other issues of secondary i'm
portance. Maj. McKinley's name is SO
closely connected with the present tariff
that it is not possible to give any other issue
so much prominence as the tariff has.
And the democrats are willing that the
campaign shall be conducted upon that is
sue They are confident that they will win
upon it. They can show that about every
thing of which the farmers complain is
either the direct or indirect result of the
protective tariff system which the Republic
can party has fastened upon the country.
A democratic victory in Ohio this year
would go long way toward electing a
democratic President next year.

OF all the arraignmonts of Defaulter
Bardsley that of the rampantly repubh-
can Philadelphia Inquirer is far the rough
est. But the Inquirer only tells the truth
when it says that Bardsley's confident man
ner, lately assumed, is the result of assur-
ances that ne will be ''taken care of" by the
corrupt republican clique that has held
Philadelphia in its grasp for the past thirty
years. 1t is fifty described by the Inquirer
as a combination of thieves and political
pickpockets." This is the machine that has
sustained such tricksters as Quay and the
notorious Bill Leads that Harrison recently
made United States marshal of the city,
to handle all of the money that is used in
the federal courts. Yet this glitterine
coterie is backed and sustained by such staid
exemplars of virtue as John Wanamakel
and many others equally as thrifty anC
sanctimonious.

a civil inquiry encouraged the major 10 again

When Connecticut deacon recently fell
asleep during services and snorted until the
chandeliers began TO shake and the timbers
in the holy edifice to rattle, some panic
stricken brother undertook to awaken the
old man 30 impetuously that he started
up with an ultra-sonorous snort and
began to swear at the untimely interruption
of his slumbers in way that amazed and
Mortified the good brethren no little.
After he had given everybody a

satisfaction some indignant brother
had him arrested. When the magistrate
had heard all of the descriptive eloquence
on both sides he assessed the sonorous citizen

neighbors to the circus for much less money.
