THE success of the United States in ma

THE success of the United States in ma
terial development is the most illustrious
of modern times. The American nation
has not only successfully borne and sup
pressed the most gigantic and expensive
war of all history but Immediately after
ward disbanded its army, found employ
ment for all its soldiers and marines, paid
off most of its debt, given labor and homes
to all the unemployed of Europe as fast as
they could arrive within its territory, and
still by a system of taxation so indirect as
not to be perceived, much less felt. Be-
cause it is my deliberate Judgment that the
prosperity of America is mainly due to its
system Of protective laws, urge that Ger
many has now reached that point where it
is necessary to initiate the tariff system OF
the United States.-BiSmdrck.

THE civilized world has been shocked
from time to time by disclosure of
facts concerning the African slave
trade of to-day. The lazy Mohamme-
dan, whose religion does not forbid it,
still clings to holding his fellow in
bondage, but the growth of Christian
principle has made slavery 80 atrocious
that it has become difficult for native
chieftains to find purchasers for their
war captives. Now come letters from
Africa saying that captives which can
not be sold as slaves are murdered out
right. One tribe is said to have de-
stroyed village and carried away
nearly two thousand prisoners. A sac
rifcial feast of three days was held,
and not even child escaped the hor-
rible massacre. 1t is generally adj
mitted that the approaching extinction
of the slave. trade is making African
warfare more merciless. Here GER
tainly is need of missionary work, and
that speedily.

THE new copyright law went into
effect on July l. Itapplies to citizens of
Great Britain, Belgium, France and
Switzerland, no other countries having
complied with the requirements of the
law. This law insures the same pro-
lection to foreign authors as to Ameri-
can, when such foreign state or ma
ton permits to the citizens of the
United States of America the benefit of
copyright on substantially the same
basis as to its own citizens"

THE democracy is beginning to real
ize that it must do some tall "hustling"
to make respectable showing in the
next campaign. Chairman Brice of
the national committee is out with a
vigorous appeal to the rank and file to
organize clubs, as republicans have
been doing for some years. {" 1t is evil
dent that they expect decisive results
from their extensive and well-organ-
lied system of republican clubs" he
says. He is right. Republicans ex-
pect an old-time victory, to be won on a
protective platform, just as the victory
of 1888 was won. There are some in
dications that the protective sentiment
will show itself in the South in the
next campaign-and, if it does, between
that and the Farmers Alliance the
democratic party will have reason to
ask where its electoral votes are coming
from. Chairman Brice is naturally
alarmed, but coming events are not
likely to abate his anxiety.

WE had it in mind last week to call
the attention of our readers who are
not farmers, and who may not have
turned to the agricultural department,
to DIR. Hoskins' very sensible editorial
on the silver question. 1t is not often,
in currency discussions, that the lead
ing points in the case are so clearly,
concisely and intelligently stated. We
commend also To the attention of those
who have been quoting DR.. Hoskins
as discouraging applications for the
government bounty on maple sugar
what he says on that subject in his de-
partment in this issue.

HANNIBAL HAMBLIN died very sud-
denly last Saturday evening at Ban
gor, Maine. He was in a club-room in
the afternoon, playing game of cards,
when his head fell forward on his
chest. The efforts of physicians to re-
vive him were unavailing, and he died
at quarter-past eight O'Clock, in the
presence of his family. So passes
away another historic figure. Vice
president during Lincoln's first term,
he had also been speaker of the Maine
house of representatives, member of the
national house, governor, senator, col
lector of the port of Boston, and minis
ter to Spain. In this great variety of
responsible positions he served his
state and country well. He was eighty
two years of age.

Had Seen Such Weather.


 The other day citizen who rides down town on the platform of a Cass-avenue car every morning received 8 postal card ask ing him to call at a fourth story room in & down town block, and he lost no time in putting in an appearance. He found the occupant to be man who often rode on the same car with him, and the latter at once got to business by saying:
 Thursday morning last we rode down on the same car, rememberf'
 "Ye-s. It was showing. I gave you 8 light for your cigar" |. Exactly. About 100 feet west of Cass avenue you asked me if ever saw such March weather"
 sYes."
 "About D feet after we had made the curve from Ledysrd street replied that never had. I was honest in that reply, but got to thinking the matter over and de cided to consult my weather record. now find that misled you" "Howf
 'I find that March, 1s47 and March, 1862 | were exactly such Marches as this. 1thsre- seen such March weather. I beg youl pardon and express my regrets"
 "But-but-" "That is all Good day." He went out and shut the door after hin and then stood there three or four minutes undecided what to do. He finally walked of to the head of the stairs, took of hi overcoat and pushed up his sleeves ant waited for forty minutes more but it wa in vain. The mistaken man did not sp pear.

as the Federation of Irish Girls County Societies" There will be different lodges, each named after county in Ireland. The objects of the organization will be to support sick members, to obtain employ msnt for girls just arrived, to protect i'm migrants from wharf sharks, and lastly to promote marriage among Irish colleens and lads of their own nationality.
 The children in the Boston public schools don't have enough to do, and therefore it is proposed to add to their list of studies the study of color. The purposes of this study, as stated by it's advocates, are to answer the child's instinctive need and de- sire, to make him acquainted with his en- vironment, to furnish opportunity and material for observation and expression, and to elevate and refine the taste and eul- tivate the appreciation of beauty. An elaborate scheme of study of colors, tints, and shades, separately or in combination, is marked out, and its introduction into the course of study into the public schools is strongly urged.
 The big breakwatsr that the United States is building at the extreme end of Cape Ann will turn the quiet cove known as Sandy bay into one of the finest harbors of refuge on the American coast. The broad mouth of its V is toward the east, and when the breakwater is finished this mouth will be closed-all but sufficiently roomy entrance at each extremity. The magnitude of the harbor thus afforded will be something remarkable. The entire area of deep water thus set apart as a fair ha- ven for storm driven craft will be almost 1,700 acres, or about the same size as the harbor of Chsrbourgh in France, and one fourth greater than that of Plymouth in England.
 Massachusetts is we'll civilized, except perhaps in the "hill towns" in the vest ern part of the State. There are in the State 175 towns and cities which have li- braries, owned and controlled by the town, and free for circulation to all the people, 2S towns having free libraries in which the town has some representation in the management, % having libraries for which the town appropriates money, but has no representation in the management, 21 hay ing free libraries with which the town government has no connection, two towns owning libraries which are not free, but which charge fee for their use, and 103 towns having no public library. More than two-thirds of the 351 towns and cities have free public libraries.

He Hung On Too Long.


 I had some important business to trans act with merchant in an Ohio town, but we had scarcely got seated in his private office when in came drummer from a Chicago house. He was probably new on the road, and he wanted some of his cheek shaved of. He was politely informed that nothing whatever was wanted, but he talked and hung on, and had to be fair ly turned out. In half an hour he returned to the attack with fresh supply of gall, saying:
 II know you must want something, and I'm bound to have an order."
 Again he was turned away, and again he returned to the attack. The merchant was now mad all the way through, but he con- cealed the fact and quietly remarked:
 Come to think of it, do need a few things. Get out your order book"
 "Ah, ha! I knew you would give me an order if ] hung on long enoughl" exclaimed the drummer. Nothing like perseverance iu this profession"
 The merchant ordered 2.OOO pounds of sugar, 10 chests of tea, 1 900 pounds of cof- fee, and lot of other goods, figuring up a big bill, and the drummer was on his high heels as he withdrew.
 Pretty big order" observed.
 ''No order at all, {" he replied
 'iHow."
 Hell mail it to Chicago tonight, and tomorrow I'll countermand by telegraph. Did it to get even with him for hanging on. you see. All the fun in this thing is not on the side of the tr aveling men"

He Sat Down and Waited.


 One Monday, which is the decision day in the supreme court, Reverdy Johnson advanced to the bench. Decisions were then being read. Justice Davis was the next in turn. He had an important deci- sion lying in front of him. Reverdy John son, one of the most prominent lawyers in that court, intimate with Justice Davis, leaned over to him just before he began to read and said,s sI have got a train to make. It leaves in 20 minutes. I am obliged to go to Baltimore for an important engage ment I will therefore be unable to re- main for the reading of your decision. As you are to read it in the next five minutes, trust you will not regard it as indiscreet | if ask you to give me just the point of it, as I cannot wait to hear it read.' | Justice Davis looked down at him with 8 shrewd twinkle in his brown eyes.
 "Mr. Johnson" said he, Git will take me 9 minutes to read that decision. If I tell you the point of it now, you can get to the telegraph wire within five minutes. You will then have 20 minutes advantage of any stock operator in the field, and am told by those who know that if your informa ton is correct 20 minutes advance is a good as year. I think you had bette break your engagement in Baltimore ant sit down and wait"
 Mr.Johnson smiled backed off sat down and made no attempt to leave the cour room to keep the important engagement that he had mentioned.
