Robert P. Porter. the census taker. is
dong great deal to explode the hum
bug pretenses of Robert p Porter, the
protectionist ranter. Porter's special
line Of work as a protectionist has gener-
ally been to try to gull the American
farmer into voting for high taxes. He
tells the farmer, for example, that 1.-The
direct benefits he receives from the pro-
tective tariff are far in excess of the
benefits received by any other class"
But Porter's recently published fig
ures showing the increase Of wealth in
the various states of the Union during
the past ten years are crushing answer
to his astonishing protection nonsense.

JUSTIFYING ITSELF.

The exports from Sheffield, England, during the quarter ended June 30 show a decrease of $35O, ,000 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. McKin- ley did it. We are using no less cutlery and hardware this year than last, and the falling off of $35O, 900 in Shefield's trade represents similar increase in the trade of American manufacturers of cutlery and hardware. The S350,OO0 heretofore paid in one quarter to Sheffield is now paid to Americans and largely goes into the pockets of American working men.
 Another illustration of the working of the new tariff comes from Irwin, Pennsyl- vania. where a plate glass factory has just been established as re- suit of increase of duty on glass. This establishment, which is to start up about the fifteenth of this month, for the manufacture of frst-class mirror glass, will utterly disprove the statements of American free traders, who few years ago claimed that on account of the lack of good materials in this country no fine plate glass could ever be made here. Now that wise protective duty on foreign plate glass has made it possible to produce fine plate glass in this country, and at the same time to pay American wages to the workmen, our people can in the future buy this article at lower prices than have ever before been offered.
 One thing is becoming very evident, and that is that there will. be no lack of good campaign material for the Republicans to use next year. The new tariff is doing even better than it was expected to do.

How Jockeys Train.

 It is no wonder that so many jockeys die young or that their faces have 6 pinched and tortured look. saw one of the boys come out of the Morris park track stables few days ago after under going Newmarket sweat He was the most pitiable object have seen for many a day. He was a big boned lad, and he had attempted to take of seven pounds from an already overstrained body in two days. He failed by pound, and he cried like a child in his grief. Perhaps the tears were due more to the nervousness of an overwrought frame than to anything else, howevsr. He had slept only seven hours out of forty-eight, and he had taken three Russian baths in that time. He had remained in the baths from two to three hours on each of these occasions, had drank no liquids except little lime juice and seltzer, and had starved himself cru ely.
 On the final morning he had put on & lot of heavy clothes, including a thick ea-jacket, and taking hold of the tail board or an express wagon which was used for carting supplies to and from the village, had run five miles in the dusty road hanging on to the end of the wagon. The horse moved at brisk trot, so that the boy had to do some hard running. When he got back to the stable he was bundled up under heavy blankets, with all his clothes and even his hat still on. He drank hot lemonade and lay there for half an hour. When they pulled the blankets of they were almost saturated with moisture. The lad was rubbed down with cold water, and then, weak and faint, with his face horribly drawn up, he went on the scales. He was still too heavy to ride, and all his torture was in vain.

THE KILLING AT SING SING.


 The killing of four murderers at Sing Sing yesterday is notable for two things: First, it was the second "electrocution" that has taken place in New York, and, judging from the meager information thus far obtainable, was much more successful and far less horrifying than the first. Sec ond, it was victory of law over lawyers who have been laboring most consistently, and at times with success, to obstruct the course of justice. A defect in the habeas corpus act of congress left it in the power of lawyer for any condemned murderer to stay the execution in defiance of all authority, and there were lawyers who did not scruple to abuse that power. No doubt the trifling with justice would have been carried still further had not the Court of Appeals distinctly signifed that the offenders would proceed at the risk of dismissal from the bar. And in spite of this warning one lawyer kept at it until few hours before the final scene. There is no doubt that all the four murderers were guilty, but the lawyers didn't take that fact into consideration.
 But the whole performance, as we said concerning the hanging at Bridgeport the other day, is no argument for capital punishment. There is no good argument for it. It doesn't punish the guilty, and it doesn't deter others from murder. The only thing that can fairly be said in its favor is that it clears the earth of some of the material that encumbers it.

There's Nothing Like Precision.
 TEror, fha pall Mall Gazetfs


 Redgrave repeats in his diary several good stories which he had from Sir c. Eastlake, P. R. A. Here are some exam pies:
 Among other stories of Rogers, the poet, he told us one of him when in Paris with a very old friend, trifle vague in his mind. Rogers said to him: 'T have been walking to-day in the Campes Elysees, and I was met by an old lady who stopped and, look ing f1edly at me, said: Sir, isn't your name Rogers" Pausing moment, he was interrupted byhis friend, who said: ''well, and was iti''
 This reminded Charles Landseer of like incident: "A few nights ago" he said, q was in the pit of the theater, and the duke and duchess of Wellington came into box. Some persons-evidently country sight seers in town for few days only-were sitting next to me, so said to them: ''That is the duke of Wellington who kas just en- tered the box Indeed, sirf they simul- tsnsously said-'the present dpksfn

power of speculator having s100, 0,000 in' cash to buy and hold $500,0 worth of cotton under the government warehouse scheme simply by reinvesting his 30 per cent. advances, and in this way it would require only s6O, ,00O, 900 of active capital to control the entire cotton crop, which the Mississippi farmer roughly estimates to be worth $500, 100000.
 France is following the example of Ger many and Switzerland in framing laws regulating the manner of paying the wages of factory hands. The French gov ernment intends to embody in its project the Swiss feature of semi-monthly pay ments, and to limit deductions for fines or for the purpose of guaranteeing 'em- ployers against uncalled-for stoppage of work, etc., to three-tenths of the amount due the laborer. In Germany, factory wages are paid indifferently weekly or bi-weekly, and in some establishments only once month; and deductions for any cause whatever are limited to the amount of one weeks wages Both in Germany and Switzerland the principle of these regulations is being attacked by the labor parties.
 They are finding fault in England with the census just as they did in this coun- try. The municipal authorities of Liver pool are especially disgruntled. It seems that the enumeration taken shows that the population of that city is now less than it was in April of 1881, when the last census was taken. At that time the city was stated to have 552, 900 populations gain during the preceding decade of rather over twelve per cent. The municipal suthori ties believed that in the last ten years the city had increased quite 100000 in popu- lation, and upon this basis the health re- ports were figured out, which went to show that the city was an exceptional place on the score of mortality. But now the emu meration shows that instead of increasing to the number of 100000 inhabitants, Liverpool has retrograded in number of people, and is slightly smaller in popula- tion now than it was in 1881.
