Another Kindergarten Lesson.

Another kindergarten Lesson.
Ever since the Mckinley bill be-
came a law, Republican speakers and
newspapers have been busy at odd
times telling the public of the great
benefits that would follow, particu-
larly in the way OF tinware, such as
tin buttons and things of that
sort. The damaging exposure that
all the tin buttons Mckinley Q on
his coat were imported from Wales
somewhat dampened the Majors ar
dor, and he changed his speeches,
c%ontenting himself with telling his
hearers that tin buttons would be a
great thing for American labor-when
American workmen knew enough to
make them.
Incidentally he mentioned that the
Niedringhaus Brothers, OF st! Louis,
had opened a tin shop and would soon
do great things. This was followed
by as serious a fiasco as the Welsh
button, for American labor couldn't
stand Niedringhaus' prices and struck.
Then it transpired that the firm had
imported lot of Welsh workmen, and
that 1t was for the benefit of this
Welsh branch of American" industry
that the Mckinley bill had been
passed. But when the Welsh work
men understood the situation they
also refused to work. saying they had
been employed not to do honest work,
but to take places of strikers, and they
did not propose to be converted into
'.scabs.n
This revealed a violation of the
alien contract law. since If these men
made any contract at all, they must
have made it abroad. To this charge
the firm pleaded not guilty, saying
the men came over here with only a
verbal agreement, and that the ICON
tract" was not made until after they
arrived in New York. Now it is a
legal principle that an oral bargain
is just as binding as a written con-
tract-all that it needs is evidence to
prove it. It is not at all probable that
these Welsh tin-workers gave up their
places at home and came to America
without knowing pretty well what
they were doing; therefore, the for
eign contract may be accepted as a
fact, while the New York transaction
committed to writing was merely a
subterfuge by way Of evading the
law.
But it is only one more trick by
which American labor is deluded in
to supporting the Republican party
and protection. The price of tinware
is advanced in every branch of the
trade on the plea that American
workmen are to benefit by jt-and
then men are imported from foreign
countries to do the work. This fact
furnishes incontestible evidence that
the advance in tin prices is for the
benefit of manufacturers alone. The
workmen are mot in it," and they
won't be in it either until they agree
to work at the English pauper wages
Of the men who are imported to COM
pete with them.
This is the sort of provocation that
the lion gives to the lamb when the
lion is hungry and the lamb juicy and
tender. Still, if the lamb likes it no
one else can object, and there will al
ways be lions to meet the demand.
The Republican platform seems to
be based on the idea of the three
card monte" man-''ther els a sucker
born every minute"

What Murat HaIstead Says.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Herald's &
Rome correspondent cables the following
o-day: II saw Murat Halstead to-da ?
and had a chat with him about politics,
He said that the newspapers need take
no trouble to pick out the next Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, and added :
"Roswel P Flower is the man. Flow
er carried the state of New York by a
big plurality. Mr.. Flower is a decent,
kindly, friendly man, who has offended
nobody. He Is worth $4,000. 600, and
would be liberal in contributing to the
expenses of the campaign fund. Moth
ing out the sound and solid vote of New
York Democracy in the next Democratic
convention would make the motion of
Cleveland possible, after the position be
has taken on the silver question. That
solid vote he cannot get Hill stands IN
the way, for be is candidate himself,
and will use the whole machinery OF the
state against Cleveland. There is no
chance of a Western man getting the
n4mination. The Democrats haven't
man big enough. The candidate will be
from New York state, and Flower is
compromise between Hill and Cleveland.
Just as certainly the candidate for vice
president will be Ex-Governor Gray, of
Indiana, or Governor Boies, of Iowa. l
think the Republicans will elect their
ticket and Can beat Flower. The general
judgement of Republicans when l sailed
from home was that the presidential
would be Mr.. Blaine, with |
either Major Mckinley or Senator Sher
man, of Ohio, the candidate for vice
president. Notwithstanding my high |
estimate of President Hsrrison's admins
tration, concur in that judgement"

A Startling Story.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The Times Wash.
iugton correspondent sends the following
"a very startling story is told to.day, by
those who do not indulge in romances,
to the effect that we may have several
foreign wars on our hands the first thing
we know. Your correspondent, as q
rule, does not notice such rumurs, but
this comes FROM such exceptionally we'll
informed quarters that he would fail in
his duty to let it pass. In brief, 1t is
gravely reported that one object of put
ting Elkins into the cabinet now is that
Blaine has in contemplation the acquis
Ition of Cuba, and that it is to be made
possible through row with Spain, to be
picked in the usual diplomatic way bv
drawing Spain into a rumpus that will
look like studied affront en- the part of
that nation towards the United States. A
demand for indemnity would be placed
SO high that it would be refused. and
might give US chance to picS up Cuba
at our own price. No details of how this
is to be accomplished are given, but it is
certainly true that men who do not in

A new explosive of great power is "Amer-
icanite." 1t is liquid compound whose
principal ingredient is nitro-glyceriue. The
other ingredients are still a secret. 1t is
said to have two advantages over other ex.
plosives: '1t is insensible to shock and can
be exploded at will" Official tests have
been made by the ordnance bureau of both
the war and navy departments but their re-
ports hsYe not been made public. The in.
ventors assert that the explosive can always
be used without danger. 1t has withstood
blow of $1,000 pounds, and lighted
match simply sets it on fire so that it burns
like candle. Neither Is it affected by fric.
tion. and an inexperienced person can handle
it without running the risk of premature
explosion. General o. O. Howard has,
therefore, recommended its adoption by the
government "The advantage of being
able, he says, "to use an explosive of a
force equal to nItro-glycerine with safety.
fired from any gun in existence, and with
terrific effect at extreme range. Is evident.
With such powerful agent the problem of
coast defense Is resolved almost to one of
range, and cur great seaboard cities can be
made comparatively safe without excessive
expenditure"

suspicion as 10 bis guilt, and Marshal Ed

The man was apprehended and arrested
at Pasco. The marshal went after the

Sprague. The burglar had pawned the
stolen pistol at Pasco, and which Marshal
Edmiston recovered. To day the prison

policeman in Spokane, and figured prom
inently in the noted Belts divorce case
On the way from Pasco, Woodruff gave
himself away to Marshal Edmiston, ac-
knowledging he had pawned the stolen
pistol at Pasco, and that he had been
hired by Mrs. Bettis IN the sum of $4,000
to assassinate Judge Belts at any time of
the night he could find him approaching
his house. 1t was understood between
Woodruff and Mrs. Bettis that when the
former reached the house he was to knock
upon certain window, whereupon Mrs.
Belts would say: 'Whose's there2' The
answer was 49," If the judge had not
