 Henry E. Dixey, the comedian, is very fond of children and he never meets poor lad on the street in trouble but he stops him, sympathizes with him and generously assists him. It is not so very long ago that Dixey himself was a poor boy, and a childish voice complain ing of misery, whether it be true or not, cuts the gentle comedian to the quick, and his ready hand always supplies the means to soften the distress. While walking along Bank street Thursday evening Dixey met a DEMOCRAT news boy crying as if his heart would break. It was raining and pedestrians were hurrying along without paying atten- tion to the child, until the comedian stopped him and learned from him that an older boy had destroyed his papers by throwing them into the mud. With out waiting to hear more the comedian gave the lad a half dollar and sent him on his way rejoicing.

It will surprise many to learn that the net cost of the large plate glass window in D. H. Tierney's block on Bank street, which was placed in posi- tion this week, was $345. The window was broken by stone last November. Through J. G. Jones 1t was insured in the Loyd's Plate Glass Insurance com pany of New York, who after the holi- days cabled the order to the best com pany in Frauce, but they refused to ac- cept the order on account of the large size of the glass. A firm in Belgium finally took the order and the glass reached New York about two weeks ago. Considerable trouble was exper- fenced in shipping the glass from New York as there is only one car in the east upon which such large sized plate of glass can be shipped. The trouble and expense was all caused by a small boy and stone.

NJ. de Freycinet was a man of fine char
acter and ability. Before he became a poll
tician he was liiIful engineer. When
he was president If the judicial council a
man who WIS accused of helping tear
down the NendoIne column, in 1871. was
brought before him. The man confessed
his guilt, but pleaded that he was Young
and fanatical at ne time, and that he had
been drawn into helping pull down the
column by his pride as an engineer in ar
ranging scaffolds and ropes to accomplish
the feat.
You are a Grim nal, f." said the minister,
severely. You iusulted the history and
the glory of the country in destroying that
column. But"-hs reflected Il moment
chow did you do it; As question of en-
cheering | should like to know "Oh,
it was very simple replied the accused;
and he sat down at table, drew plan,
and calculated lines, curves and angles,
while the minister bent over him, follow
ing the work with intense interest. AS it
went on, however, Freycinet shook his
head, shrugged his shoulders and smiled,
and when it was nished took paper and
pencil and said, That isn't bad; but you
might have done it much more easily and
economically"
Then, in his turn, covering he paper with
curves, angles and calculations he proved
that twice as much time and msney as
were necessary had been expended. "How-
ever" he concluded severely, you were
guilty of high treason against the nation
and must pay the penalty" The engineer
did not escape light sentence, but he had
much satisfaction in replying, "Ah, mon
sieur, did you not just now say that it had
cost me too much already s''-San Fran

Stuffed Cabbage.

The following is an excellent way to cook
cabbage: Choose a firm, nice cabbage,
pick off the outside leaves and plunge the
cabbage into boiling water, pressing it
down in the center to allow the water to
penetrate and loosen the leaves. Then
place the cabbage on meat board and
open each leaf gently until you reach the
center, out of which cut a piece about the
size of an egg. Fill this space where you
have cut out the heart with mixture of
minced cold meat or chicken, chopped
bacon and two well beaten eggs: bring the
nearest leaves well over to reform the
heart and fill each space between the leaves
with thin layer of the mince, bringing
each leaf back as nearly as possible to its
original place. Lay two strips of bacon
sideways over the cabbage and tie it adj
around with thick thread so it cannot fall
to pieces. Make nice brown gravy and
pour over the cabbage; in this simmer the
cabbage gently for four hours

The rage for draping every article of fur

Women are content now with square of

silk and plush thrown in careless folds
about it and knotted here and there, or
tied with cords and tassels.
Crewel or stem stitch embroideries, car
ried out in softly tinted silks on white
silk ground, are very delicate. One of the
prettiest has light design, worked in
pale green and pink silks on a white
ground. A length of this combined with
olive or chestnut plush Grapes an easel

The best cushions are now covered on
both sides with the same material and fin

the necessary substance, besides which

The Nigilantes and Ballot Box Suffers
Notorious ballot hoX suffers and other
desperate cE cters were a curse to Cali
fornia. Every one admitted it, but no eff
fective action had been taken against
them. In many cases they held the polls
at election and attacked manned and ter
rified those vorers who We're opposed to
their friends. If arrested, such was the
dread they had inspired and so great their
influence with the courts that conviction
was almost i'm possible. This immunity
from punishment increased their insolence
and violence, and il was evident that no
reform could be made while they remained
in the state. What was to be done with
them? They could not be hanged; they
would be a source of expense and trouble;
safe and satisfactory Imprisonment was
plainly impracticable.
1t was therefore suggested that if, after
fair trial, the charges against them We're
proved, no course would be so satisfactory
and safe as Punishment, with a warning
never again to return under pain of death
This was adopted and a blacklist was
made of all these notorious characters.
Evidence was collected and orders were
soon given for the arrest of these men
wherever they could be found in the state.
They were tried convicted, sentenced and
uepOrteu, many CA them as 1rSt class pas
sengers, by sailiI z ships and steamships,
at the sole expense Of the committee, and
in a style far above their deserts This
was not apprecia ed, but fattered and ex-
allied them to the belief that they were i'm
portant pers0naces and had suffered great
damages, and they brought suits against
the committee.
Singularly, or perhaps naturally, these
suits were only brought by those who were
best treated. Those who were shipped in
the steerage never brought suits and were
never afterward roublesome.-William I.

Carpets and the Tariff.

During the recent campaign in Massa-
chusetts, where the tariff was the great
issue, the republican candidate for COVER
nor. Col. Allen, and all his friends upon
the stump, commended that the Mckinley
bill had actually lowered the cost of the
necessaries of life. The following letter
from the well known treasurer of the
great Lowell carpet works, which con-
tains some striking facts, was contributed
to the discussion and printed in the Bos
ton Herald
To the Editor of the Herald The ad j.,
vance in cost and price of carpets seems
to be peculiarly annoying to the republic
can polltclans, who are now trying Ito
show that protection reduces prices. At d
as they do not understand or do not fairly
state the facts, it may be desirable to re.
fer TO some facts again.
Lowell carpets, both Brussels and in e
grains, are known all over the country as
the best OF their kind in quality and style,
and their prices are On record as the stan
uard 1or very many years. OF course |
did not expect that Mr.. Reed would know
how the Mckinley bill had affected the M
and as he does not understand nv views
as TO the tariff or my connection with
many protected industries, need only
say that getting all the materials you want
free and getting all the duties you want on
your goods is not my may of looking at
the interests of the country as whole,
but 1t is of the very essence of modern
protectionism.
OF course, as different mems wants in
terfere, tariff bill is great log rolling
scheme, with very little regard for the
pubic interest. though to carry along the
public and get their votes great deal is
said about the interest of tie working
man, and now that nearly all kinds of
merchandise have fallen in price since
the passage of the Mckinley bill the in
terest OF the consumer (hitherto igpored)
are talked OF with great deal of affec-
tionate sympathy.
But Col. Alien once bought a Lowell
carpet about 20 years ago at TWO or three
times todays price, and. as he lives in
Lowell, he might have been expected to
understand little better than he seems
to do'the reason why carpets are cheaper
than they were 90 or 10 years ago, and
why the price of Lowell shares went up
after the passage of the Mckinley bill.
AS hundreds of stockholders who live 10
Lowell can tell him. the price of the stock
went up because the price of carpets ad-
vanced.
That increased the profits of the COM
pany for the time because it had wool on
hand at the old and lower price and was
selling carpets at new and niger price.
The price OF the shares advanced, not
S57, as he says, but 800. But dull trade
has begun to tell on the prices, which
have fallen again. and yet the increased
costs and the annoying restrictions and
antiquities Of the law remain.
said something about the methods
aud inventions that had reduced the
costs Of goods in the past 10 or 20
years. There are several kinds OF 'inven
tioni one of them is that kind of thin
that omits half OF the truth, and quotes q
part only of sentence. When one says
that the tariff is the cause of the fall in
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1891-11-21

prices. and that inventions are merely
concomits nts. he should not omit the
important fact that prices have fallen
equally in free trade England. Ii it is Of
any comfort to Col. Allen. l can tell him
that Lowell carpets have fallen about 40
per cent in the past 10 years. and his
neighbors in Lowell can tell him that
nothing but the changes in mechanical
work and in the methods and manages
ment of the work have made it possible
for the con pany to meet without ruin the
immense fsll in prices. But this reduc
zion in prices, as the result of improved
machines and methods in 10 or 20
years, is very different from change in
price as the result of dull trade from any
temporary cause, whether it be failure
of crops, ruinous failures in the Argen-
tine Republic or the Mckinley bill.
One thing is certain; the manufacturers
who ask for and obtain high duties, hoped
and expected to get higher prices. They
were not fools enough TO think that thew
could make money by putting down
prices. Prices have tumbled about their
ears much to their disgust. Ii excessive
American competition, started recklessly
into existence by the Mckinley bill. has
reduced prices. it seems TO manufac-
turer more Injurious than the former Eng
lish competition If protection reduces
prices as speedily as they have fallen since
the Mckinley bill, manufacturers have
had enough Of it. If so per cent protec-
tive duties were not high enough, 100 per
cent seems to be worse still. and we shall
owe to this last reckless and moDstrous
tariff act the opening of the question of
free trade.
If it is the Mckinley bill that has aG-
vanced costs and reduced prices. to the
disgust of tie manufacturers, is it also
the Mckinley bill that has brought to
stands,ill more carpet looms than have
probably been Idle for 10 years?
And ifso. are the carpet weavers and
the spinners Of carpet yarns as grateful
for restrictions and protection for stop
page of work as the republican speakers
profess 10 to be for the general fall in
prices! Did the republican proiectionlst
manufacturers who went to Washington
in 1888 and 1890 give TO the sc members
any idea that it was q fall in prices they
were seeking for through high duties?
ARTHUR T. LYMAN.
Boston, Oct. "a, 1891.
The letter shows two very important
facts. Oae is that the Mckinley bill was
passed at the request of the manufaetur
ers, as reiter a'ed time and again, and
second that whenever protection incress>
es production and reduces prices it does
so at the cost Of the workingmen engaged
in the industry protected.
