A RULE THAT WONT WORK BOTH
MAYS.

Tariff organs defend or at least ex-
cuse the recent cut in wages at the
Carnegie iron works by citing the re-
duction of the duty on steel rails from
ST. to S13.44 ton, effected by the Nc
Kinley bill. This contention is made
in spite of the fact that the difference
in the price of English and American
rails is now hardly enough to cover the
freightage on the former. With this
exception ard the tritie OF brokerage
and Insurance, there is no difference in
prices. 1t is not stated that Carnegie
has made any reduction in the price OF
his manufactured product. 1t is there
fore to be supposed that the alleged
loss resulting from a reduced tariff was
borne entirely by his employees.
Thoughtful and thrifty Mr.. Carnegie.
1t appears from this particular case
that lowering the tariff on a given
commodity carries with it a reduction
in the wages of the operatives engaged
in the manufacture OF 1t. But nowhere
can a man be found whose wages has
been raised by an increase OF the tariff
on any particular article of domestic
manufacture. Governor Campbell has
challenged the Republican party OF
Ohio to produce one man whose wages
has been so increased, and the man is
not forthcoming. 1t is said to be a poor
rule that does not work both ways, and
this is evidently one Of them. The rule
operates charmingly when Mr.. Care
gie's profits are threatened, but not at
all when the wages of his worliiugmen
are concerned. And yet it is urged at
election time that the tariff was or
dained for the protection of American
labor

THERE are few papers having such a
record of uninterrupted prosperity as
that OF the Evening Scimitar of Mem
phis. The success of this journal is
due in large measure to the indefat-
igable energy and enthusiastic work
OF A. B. Pickett, editor and mana
ger. His wise direction is not only
evinced in the conduct of the paper
but also in the preparation of souve-
mir, edition that is without rival in
beauty and comprehensiveness. This
edition is printed on rose-tinted pa
per and has an illuminated cover beau
tifully designed and executed. In
turning the leaves of this edition the
artist is pleased with the fidelity
of the work, while the man OF figures
and facts is gratifed to be able from its
pages to learn not only much of the
paper, its staff and its workshop, but
also to find here an exhaustive descrip-
ton of Memphis, its homes and its

visit of De Soto in 154l, of the later
settlement, of its progress and its vi
cissitudes is well told and the interest
is enhanced by fine views of buildings,
old and more modern, and of points of
interest in and about the city. There
are portraits of the working force of
this enterprising paper, not sighting
the valued servitor in all newspaper
offices, the humble colored janitor In
an extensive portrait gallery are also
portraits of men prominent in the va
rious callings that go to make a pros
porous city. AS a complete guidebook
of Memphis this souvenir edition of the
Scimitar is beyond compare and it is
uuquestionable that not only the ad-
mirers of the paper, but all who would
place Memphis fairly before the world,
will avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty to acquaint their friends with the
business and other advantages this city
holds out to men of capital and enter
prise. The Scimitar has done noble
work for the town in the presentation
made.

"BRIGADIERS" IN OHIO.

The chairman of the Republican ex
pertinent dispatches to Congressman
Mills and Crisp ironically thanking
them for their assistance in electing
Mckinley, and requesting their serv-
ices in the same cause at the LeXt Ohio
election. Every manly man will view
this conduct of Chairman Hahn with
the contempt that it deserves-but
there are a great many men who are
not manly men, and they will applaud
Mr.. Hahn's kilograms as fine specimens
of smartness.
Did the presence of two such men as
Mills and Crisp in Ohio during the
tendency of the political contest really
make for the Mckinley cause, and why,
if so? They made strong arguments
in behalf of tariff reform; and it is
childish to say that the effect of their
arguments was to turn men against
tariff reform. How, then, could they
have helped the Republican cause by
taking part in the Ohio canvass, as
the Republican chairman says they
did?
Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Crisp were dis
tinguished soldiers in the Confederate
army. In the North they are ''rebel
brigadiers." 1t is highly probable that
the sight of them may have revived the
dying hatred of some of the men who
remember the war with bitterness, and
that these men, who may have been
convinced by argument that tariff re-
form was the best policy for the coun-
try, nevertheless voted the Republican
ticket because their preiudices were
aroused by the presence of these two
''rebel brigadiers" in the contest.
Looking at it in this light, the dis
patches of Chairman Hahn may have
some meaning.

JEWELS AS MEDICINES.

Popular Superstitions Which Once Infiu-
enoed Wearers of Precious Stones.
Although popularity supposed to be itself
q deadly poison, the diamond has from re
mote ages been credited with the power of
protecting the wearer from the evil effects
of other poisons. a reputation which it re-
tanned until comparatively recent times
According to Pliny. it also keeps off in
sanity. Amber, too, was supposed to pos
sess the latter virtue. Besides the diamond
several other stones were supposed to pos
sess medicinal virtues -
The ruby was considered good for de
rangements of the liver as well as for bad
eyes.
The sapphire and emerald weresalso cred
tied with properties which rendered they
capable of influencing ophthalfnic DIR
ders, and there is superstitious belief that
serpents are blinded by looking at the lat
ter stone.
The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop
critics so far as disease was concerned, was
nevertheless regarded as kind of sympa
thetic indicator, the intensity of it's color
being supposed to fiuctuate with the health
of the wearer The latter moreover, by
virtue of the stone he carried could, it was
said. fall from any height with impunity
The Marquis of Vilena's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when be
reversed the popular superstition in his as
sertion that the wearer Of turquoise
might fall from the top of high tower
and be dashed to pieces without breaking
the stone.
The opal was looked upon as thunder
stone, and although many women now ap-
pear to have strong superstitious preju-
dice against wearing one, it was in bygone
days held in the highest estimation. for it
was supposed to combine the virtues of
several other gems. On the other hand,
the onyx-so named on account of its re-
semblance to the color of the finger nails
could scarcely have been nice stone to
wear; for, according to MEDIEVAL supersti-
ton, it rendered one particularly suscep-
tible to annoyance from Nightmares and
demons.
Temperance advocates, If they have any
regard for the beliefs of the Greeks and
Romans, might, according to Chambers
Journal, seriously consider the ACCESSIBILITY
Of distributing amethysts among drunk
ards. for it was supposed that these stones
prevented intoxication. Coral was made
use of by the Romans as a protection
against the evil eye. and popular supersti-
ton has credited the topaz with the power
OF depriving boiling water of its heat.

a GREAT many people write, rejoice

election, while, in reality, not a tenth
of them will be the better or the worse

THE expulsion of Dom Pedro from
Brazil has not wiped out the loyalty OF
his friends. who are trying to get up a
revolution in favor of royalty-for tina t
is what the troubles in that country
mean. Dom Pedro was a good man
and wise and progressive ruler.
The worst thing to be said against him
was that he was king. The people
of Brazil had nothing to complain of,
except that they were ruled by mon
arch in the name of a king, while their
neighbors were ruled by tyrants in the
name of the people. So, being restless
and dissatisfied, and oppressed by the
peace that Dom Pedro had given them,
and longing for trouble, they rose and
threw off their monarch, that their
mob might reign" The present move
ment is probably reaction OF feeling
in the minds of the tickle Latin-Amer-
leans, who are, have been, and ever
will be, unfit for self-governmen

The Origin of the Side Saddle.

The Mortified opposers of the movement
for women's riding en- cavalier may be in-
terested in learning that had it not been for
an accident Of fashion the gentler sex
would be striding their horses still, and
that the side saddle is not an invention due
to the advanced modesty of civilization. 1t
appears that one Anna, of Bohemia, eldest
daughter of German emperor and wife of
an English king, introduced the custom,
not from delicate repulsion to the old
method, but simply because she was at-
dicted with some sort of deformity that
rendered it impossible for her to ride upon
the saddle in common use, says the New
York Sun. In those days it was impera-
tive that woman should ride, accordingly
the first side saddle was invented. Royalty
had then. az now, snobbish followers ever
on the alert to adopt fashions honored by
its patronage, and in a few months every
woman Of place in England possessed
side saddle and the custom was established

THE senate OF the United States now
stands forty-six Republicans, forty-one
Democrats, and PETER, who will prob
ably act with the Democrats. The Re-
publicans have five majority. The ad-
mission of the Northwestern territories
gave the Republicans eight senators.
BY virtue of these new states, whose
scant populations, aggregating a total
OF less than a million, have eight rep
resentatives in the senate, the Repub-
licans control that branch OF the gov
eminent. The Democratic state OF
New York, with more than five times
as many people, has but two repre-
sentatives in the senate, and one Of
them is Republican. BY such means
does the Republican minority maintain
its hold upon the government.
