Saloons on Wheels.

The saloon business in Sioux City,
Iowa, has assumed new phase since
the Law and Order league began prose-
cutting the saloon men. The cases are
taken before the justice of the peace,
and fifty-dollar fine assessed by the
justice. With this decision as evidence,
the cases are taken to the district
court and injunctions secured against
the property. The law requires that
the property and building shall be de-
scribed. Nearly all the saloons are in
small framed, veneered buildings As
soon as such a motion for Injunction is
made, the saloon men move the build
ings to other lots, SO that the injunc-
ton is rendered worthless. The saloon
men move frequently, and thus the
business is becoming a migratory one,
conducted in buildings onpwheels.--N.

Mr.. r. G. Jenkins, one Of the largest
manufacturers of tin plates in Wales,
is reported as having concluded to move
his works to this country. William
Williams, the Welsh ''tin plate king"
is also contemplating the same step.
There is just one reason to keep them
from coming. 1t was stated by the Lor-
don Economist some time ago "The

Economist 'is likely, then, to have the

As a matter OF theory, tariff sof

absolute free trade, inasmuch as abso-
lutte free trade excludes the idea OF any
sort Of tariff on foreign importations,
while tariff for revenue only not only
permits, but requires the levying of inn
port duties However, while the two
are not synonymous in theory, they
may be, in effect, equivalents, 80 far as

labor Of foreign lands may be con-

no account of this competition. 1t
makes no provision for the difference
between two conflicting conditions-one
at home and the other abroad. On the
contrary, tariff for protection recog.
nizes these opposing and unequal con-
ditions, and, as Mr.. Randall expresses
1t, mo two industrial systems. side by
side, with labor in one receiving double
the wages Of labor in the other, could
long exist under free trade between
them" The schedule of duties under
tariff for revenue only may be based
upon so low grade that, while bring.

it would depress the rates Of American
wages to ruinous point, destroy the
facilities for production, and drive in

domestic industries, thereby surrender

for they do not, in fact, agree in either

apart in their convictions. But never

when they supported the democratic
presidential candidate last year. They
voted for free trade because they fol-

THE DRINKING HABIT.


1t IL Not Respectable, and Business Men
Dislike 1t.
A writer who has spent some years
as Washington correspondent, has re-
Gently been making tour of the fash
ionable summer resorts along the At
lantic coast from Cape May to Mount
Desert In one of his letters he sum-
marizes the results of his observations
regarding the matter of temperance.
He says:
There is less dissipation among the
men at watering-places than is gener-
ally supposed. In fact, it may be
broadly asserted that there is less dis
sipation among American men than
there was in the past, and. furthermore,
it grows less and less year by year.
As long as men are men they will eat
and drink and have some fun; but
there are all gradations in the process,
from the hummer who falls into the
gutter or the savage who fills himself
with firewater and raw dog, to the gen.
ueman who, in the cafe takes adrink in
good fellowship with some friends. or
in his club, or in his home, eats his din
uer and comforts himself with glass
or two of wine in pleasant companion
ship.

in the railroad and financial world,
is now an invalid, and her mother is q
daughter of A. Haworth, M. P. From
the years 1885 to 1889 Miss Potter was
engaged in assisting Charles Booth in

to articles on the docks and the tailor

educated girls-teaching. She found,
a. she herself says. that she "did not
know anything" However, she perse-
vered. After teaching while in coun-
try schools she came to Philadelphia.
For ten years she was principal OF the
Friends school at Fourth and Green
streets. In the course Of time she
opened school of her own, starting
with fifty pupils Finally her health
broke down. and she went west to re-
cuperate, and taught there for year.
She came to Philadelphia for surgical
treatment, Is she was lame, and while
there began to cast about for something
to do. Dr. Hayhurst has most active
mind, and since she left school, up to
the present time. has always taken up
some study every year. She began at
that time to study medicine. Chem
istry came in the course of her studies
and 1t SO interested her that she finally
decided to attend the lectures at the
Philadelphia college of pharmacy. 1t
was then, of course, an unheard-of
thing that q woman should attend the
lectures, but she had no difficulty either
in gaining admission or in securing re-
spectful treatment while at the college.
Perhaps this was because her attend
ance was personal matter, not ques-
ton of sex, and the permit she received
was an individual one. She did not
matriculate then, but some years later
was urged by her friends and the pro-
fessors at the college to take the exami.

becoming q regular graduate.
Her fellow students, the men, treated
her with nothing of the rudeness aid
disrespect which might have been sx-
pected. She was an object of curiosity
to them, but it was good-naturcd curb
osity. They really seemed proud Of
her, and when she graduated they all
came to see her and overwhelmed her
with congratulations.
She never practiced medicine, but 90
cepted an offer to take charge Of the
drug-room of the woman's hospital,
where she has remained ever since Is
pharmacist-in-chief. The work was
hard the first year. but she speedily
grew to like it.
As before mentioned, DR.. Hayhurst
can not bear to do nothing. She says
that it always falls to her lot to do the
things which no one else would do. She
has her own tool chest and is quite
handy in the use of the various tools
On occasions she has attended to the
business Of the drug-room and been the
housekeeper Of the woman's hospital
during the absence of the matron. The
garden also is her special domain, there
being, she says, not tree or shrub in
the hospital grounds which she has not
planted. -Houskeepers Weekly.

An erroneous impression seems TO

true that present prices are lower. APP
preaching the time Of the enforcement
Of the Mckinley tariff last season, the
spectators, as they always do on such

above their true basis. It is the reaction
from these fictitious prices which makes
it appear that wool declined considera-
bly, under the operation of the Mckinley
law.
The Economist has carefully COM
pared market quotations and can find
little justification for the exaggerated
assertions going the rounds about the
great decline in prices Of American

and the Republican nominee Al. 300. In this
fight the Republicans exhibited an astute-
ness which. emulated by the Democrats,
would murder the national Republican
party. In order to get Carter Harrison to
run they loaned him the Chicago Times,
and that paper made strong fight for him.
When it is seen that they divided the Demo-
cratic vote, which was 80 600, and elected
their candidate with only 1890 votes, their
Ehrcwdness as political workers cannot be
