| Norwegian Independence Day.

Some oi our schoolboys have opportu- nities to learn history without taking much trouble about It. In a large school there may be pupils of dozen nationali- ties-italian. Spanish. Swedish. Norwe- gian, French. German, Hebrew. Irish Finnish, Russian-and each of these has its own national days as we have ours on the Fourth of July and the Twenty second of February An American boy of inYuirlng mind will naturally want to know what those national lays are, and what they commemorate

People. Party Tactics in Ohio.

There is one feature in the situation
however, that is not far to see. The av-
enues are opened wide for the demo
cratic managers to carry on a system
attic trading Of democratic votes for peo
pies party legislative candidates, in re
turn for farmer votes for the democratic
state ticket. TIE democrats can afford
this. as they have reason to know the
peoples party managers are in sympa-
thy with them on many public ques-
lions, and the peoples party members
OF the legislature might easily be in
duced to vote for democratic measures
In return for the election Of a peoples
party senator, with democratic tenden-
cies. to succeed John Sherman. This
would particularly please Governor
Campbell, who has no love for John R
Mclean, the man who would probably
get the senatorship from purely dem
ocratic legislature, as democratic legis-
latures have a decided preference for
gentlemen residing outside OF Ohio and
possessed Of large bags OF Doodle. On
the surface the action Of the convention
looks favorable to the republicans, but
in the very depths is concealed the
scheme, agreed upon between the dem
ocratic and peoples party managers, to
run the latter as an annex to the Camp
bell democratic campaign.-Toledo

Cleveland a. q Protectioni.t.

1t is not little surprising that ex-
President Cleveland should give his
countenance to the doctrine Of protec-
tion in practical way, while at the
same time he stands as the exponent in
this country OF the ultra free trade
doctrine. But at Buzzard's Bay, among
his new found neighbors, Mr.. Cleve-
land sees plain needs through different
national affairs. He presided the 9TH
or night over meeting OF citizens at
Bourne, the object of which was to pro-
tect Buzzard's Bay fish from seines.
pounds and weirs. Mr.. Cleveland made
a speech IN which he said the fish
ought to be protected because it was
conceded that Buzzard's Bay was a
spawning ground, land such protection
was in accordance with the enlightened
procedure OF every state He went on
to declare, according to one of his
Mugwump newspaper supporters, that
lit was not a question of sport, but OF
industry" The meeting adopted reso-
lutions providing for the cooperation
of the citizens of the several towns on
the bay to prohibit fishing by nets and
weirs.
1t may not have occurred to Mr..
Cleveland while he was making this
neat speech in favor of protection to fish
that human beings have often been
likened to the living products of the
sea, and that il his theory about the
protection OF the fish of BuzZard's bay
was worth anything at all it was worth
extending to the inhabitants of the
United States, who want protection
from the short sighted theory that pres
ent consumers should have everything,
and that producers and future consum-
ers are entitled to nothing.
Such protection is 'in accordance
with the enlightened procedure" of
nearly all civilized nations of the pres
ent day. Indeed. in declaring that an
element of equality and equity entered
into the question, because by law in va
rious parts of the bay such fishing is al
ready prohibited. and the rule should
he universal in the bay. he announced
the doctrine of protection for the whole
world. II this policy as to Buzzard bay
fishing should be carried into the tariff
laws of the world, protection would be-
come the rule universally.
Mr.. Cleveland may not have meant to
give protection to American industry
and labor such a forcible argument
against the doctrine he has been preach
ing for seven years, but it is even more
fOrCible because he did it unwittingly.

The Billion Dollar Congress.

There has been so much noise made by
the democrats over the "bIllion dollar

know how the appropriation of 81. OOs.-

partment of agriculture for the farmers

THE KAIzER REPORTED DAFT.
An Odd Story. from the French, About
King Williams Queer Behaviour.


King Williams Queer Behaviour.
PARIS, Aug. 2I.-The Paris Eclair,
which is not given to sensationalism,
prints the following story as confirmed
by unquestioned authority: On the
night following the departure of the
imperial yahct Hohenzollern from Eng
land, the crew was beaten to quarters
and was surprised to find the quarter
deck brilliantly Illuminated. An alter
had been erected on the deck bearing
The Old and New Testaments and the
Kaiser stood by wearing white chas-
uble. with a crozier in his hand and
a black and white mitre on his head.
read the most warlike passages from
the Testaments and invited the crew to
respond. He then preached long sermon
on the duty of sovereigns to their peo-
pie, the whole service lasting from 10
d. m. to = a. IN. The crew was then
piped below, At dawn the Kaiser ap-
peared on the bridge in the uniform OF
high admiral, looking extremely hag-
gard. and addressing the commander,
said: ''Sir. retire to your cabin; |
shall take charge"
The commander replied: "Sire, per-
nit to observe that we are in danger
Gus passage, and that it is advisable for
your Majesty's safety. as we'll as that Of
the crew, that a sailor to remain COM
mand.'
The emperor responded: Never
mimi; God will inspire me-"
The commander bowed and retired.
The second officer remaining, the en-
peror angrily babe him retire, the officer
respectfully protesting.
The emperor then said: "You resist
wretched creature: you trouble the
spirit of God, which is in me. This is
the vengeance of God upon YOU" deal
ing the officer heavy blow on the
cheek.
The officer turned crimson, but re-
manned until the emperor seized him
by the throat and tried to throw him
overheard.
In the struggle that followed the en-
peror fell and broke his knee cap.
The sailors watched the scene, par.
alyzed with fear. The occurrence was
one that cannot be forgotten. The en-
peror howled with pain: his eyes started
from their sockets: he foamed at the
mouth: he swore terribly. and in fact.
displayed all the symptoms of madness.
The officers, after a brief consultation,
carried him into a cabin padded with
mattresses. Nobody was admitted but
the doctor and the empress, and men
were necessary to restrain him until
his leo was bandageG and straight
Jacket was put on him. The crisis
lasted three DAYS.

Is Free Trade a Failure?

Under this heading the London Iron
mOnger's Journal reprints the table
found in the American Economist show
ing the relations between price. produc-
ton and duty in the case of wire Fails,
which showed. that in 1882 we made
$4,000 kegs OF wire nails. which sold at
the average price of S.32 cents per
pound, and that the duty of 4 cents
per pound imposed in 1888 raised the
price to S.33 cents per pound, so that
while for every 100 pound keg of wire
nails consumer used, an Ubiquitous
and illogical tariff levied tax of four
dollars, the consumer paid just one
cent. And further, that in 1889. the
last year in which this oppressive fax
of four cents per pound was levied on
our long-suffering consumers, our pro-
duction of wire nails had increased to
200. 900 kegs aud the price had fallen
to 2.96 cents per pound. Consideration
OF the table induces the Journal to say:
These figures are almost calculated to cause
the bodies of Richard Cohen, Adam Smith. and
a hist OF other free traders to turn in their
coffin

Old Doctrines Revived

The Hon. John Cade, formerly of
Blackheath, seems to be editing the
Peoples Advocate, the official organ of
the farmers alliance of Kansas. His
name does not appear at the head of
that remarkable newspaper, bnt We can
not be wrong in attributing to him these
pleasing recommendations for the bene-
fit of debtors:
the collection of all debts. which would be as
much a matter OF economy as OF justice. The
public. not being taken into the negotiations
preceding the contraction OF debts, ought not to
be called in to compel their payment. Those
who sell property or loan money do so in the
hope or expectation to reapa profit and often
grant the credit when they would not do so IL
the law did not stand behind them to enforce
their claim. 1t would also induce those who
loan money TO invest It in some legitimate bust
ness The abolition OF such laws would perma-
nently destroy credit business, and, coupled
with the government lOaning mo ey to its own
time witnessed silce the formation Of society
There can be no better evidence Of
the stability Of the state of Kansas and
of its prosperity than that its credit
is able to survive the maniacal attacks
of the farmers alliance. That concern
seems to be in the hands of men who
are either hopeless lunatics or born
idiots. 1t must 90 TO smash before long.
and the sooner the better for the state.

the farmers alliance continues to yell

The French labor bureau In the Rue
de Grenelle, Paris, is now in working
order, or soon will be. 1t is founded
upon English and American lines, and
the main object of it is to collect and
arrange all kinds of statistics and gem
eral information in relation to capital
and labor, strikes, cooperation, savings
and so forth, for the use of the govern
ment and the public at large. Fol in
formation of this kind the authorities
have been largely dependent hitherto
upon chambers of commerce, syndicates
OF private persons. The new labor e1-
change, or Bourse du Travail, will also
be opened soon by the Paris Municipal
council. The exchange will concern
itself chiefly with matters relating to
wages in France and elsewhere.

An Indiana Hermit.

MADISON. Ind, Nov. 26.-Nelson
Perdue, an old soldier and we'll known
farmer of Versailles. 10 the adjoining
county of Ripley, who had gradually
given himself up to intemperance and
other evils, disappeared suddenly from
his accustomed haunts some months ago.
and could not be found. despite the most
strenuous efforts on the part of his friends
to solve the secret of his whereabouts.
Perdue lett no one in charge of his farm.
which was stocked with the finest horses
and cattle, and no business representative
whatever to look after his financial inter
ests, which were important. No cause
could possibly be assigned for his disap-
pearance, as he was in good circumstance
at the time and was not involved in any
way so far as could be learned. 1t was
thought by some that he had been muir
dered and his body hidden, but as
the community is a peaceful one, and
Perdue was without enemies, this theory
as to his absence was soon cast aside and
the people gave up the problem as one
impossible to solve. Yesterday while a
party OF hunters were securing a wild and
~uninhabitable portion of the county in
quest OF game, they discovered a rude hut
or save dug out of a hillside, and on
entering found 1t to be the abiding place
of a human being. A few moments later,
while they were continuing their %investI-
cations, they we're surprised by the en-
trance of a man, whose clothes hung
about him in %tatters, whose hair and
beard were so matted about his head and
face as to give him the appearance of
being an animal. but who, despite his
metamorphOsis, was soon recog-
nized as Perdue, the missing farmer.
The man acknowledged his identity,
but refused to disclose his reasons
for assuming the life Of a hermit, and
could not be induced by the most urgent
persuasion to return to his home and
friends. He had the appearance of being
well starved, but refused to touch a
mouthful OF food offered him by the
hunters. Yesterday his brother and
| several Others started for his hermit home
with the view of bringing him back by
force if necessary. but on reaching the
place they found it deserted and a note
tackled on the inside of the door to the
effect that he had gone to seek a a hiding
place where he would never again be
molestcd. The mans action Is unac
countable and furnishes a topic for con
versation in every household h%ereabout.

Different labor organizations of Phila-
delphia are discussing the question of
building a large and spacious head
quarters for all the labor societies in the
city, to be known as Labor Temple.
At the last meeting of the United
Labor league one of the leading dele
gates said that the workpeople of this
city pay for hall rent something oven
$50, 900 a year, and that this sum If guar
anteed would be sufficient for a first pay
ment on a building equal to that being
erected in Chicago. The shares will be
placed at twenty-five dollars each, pay
able weekly in sums of one dollar and
over. The location of the temple will
be central, SO that all the unions from
different parts of the city can reach it in
good season for their meetings.
