THE NEW TARIFF WORKING.

THE NEW TARIFF WORKING.
 In his speech at Worcester Major Nc Kinley said: The campaign liar has al | ready been convicted. The false prophet of November and October, 1890, has been condemned before the bar of experience in business. Nothing can say about that new tariff law will help it. Nothing which it's enemies say can hurt it. It can only hurt itself in it's operations. It is operating now. Tell me of an industry from one end of this country to the other that it has injursd. Name one from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes. Tell the industry that that great law has not helped and benefited. Tin peddlers won't prevail hereafter.
 The facts are with Major Mckinley. A large number of new cotton enterprises are springing up in the South. No less than fourteen have been reported within a week. Two new cotton mills are re- ported for New England, a cotton yarn mill in Massachusetts and white goods | mill in Rhode Island. The woollen goods ! mills are, as rule, doing a good busi | ness, both in point of employment and profit, and five new mills are reported as to be built Additions will also be made | to two factories, and then machinery that l has long been idle in Pittsield mill will soon be in operation. The knit goods concerns are also running full time, and l two new factories will be erected in New York. Four paper mills in different sec tions of the country that have been long idle will soon be started up, and new mill be erected in Pennsylvania. | The glass industry is also prospering. There has been reported since the year be- gan an addition of 24O pots for plate glass making. and 300 more last year, in all $40, while the whole number of pots in opera tion year ago was only $50. In other parts of the trade there is reported the building of the first continuous green bot tie tank ever used at Massillen, Ohio, another glass factory at Schnectady, to employ 100 hands, a doubling of capacity. by
 the Alba Glass Works, of Salem, NewJersey
 large increase by the Tallapoosa works
 in Georgia, new factory for cut glass at
 Hawley, Pennsylvania, another plate glass
 factory projected at Alexander, Indi-
 ana, new window glass factory at Avons-
 mere, Pennsylvania, and new decorating
 shop for Crown Milano ware at New Bed
 ford, Massachusetts. In the iron industry
 the most conspicuous item is the organiza-
 ton of company at Glasgow, Scotland.
 with $1 ,OOO, ,OOO capital, to build furnaces
 rolling mills, steel and pipe works at Mid
 dlesborough, Kentucky.
 And so forth and so on. These and tht
 many other similar facts are fast vindicat
 ing the Mckinley tariff. By next yea
 there will be an al undance of good cam
 paign material in this line.

more from their supeliors. A strike of masons is described by M. Naspero in de- tail, and some parts of the description might almost be mistaken for extracts from an English or German newspaper in the nineteenth century of the Christian era
 On the tenth of the month the builders employed at temple rushed tumultuously out of the place where they were working and sat down behind a chapel in the tenn. ple precincts, exclaiming: We are hungry and there are eighteen days before the neIt pay day" They charged the paymasters with dishonesty, asserting that the latter gave false measure. The paymaster on the other hand, charged the men with want of foresight, alleging that they spent their wages as soon as they touched them. After some further negotiations with officers of the government the men resumed work on the understanding that the king himself would pay them

 From the Pan Mall Gazettel
 "There is nothing new under the sum-" receives nowhere more startling verifca- ton than this matter of strikes The way in which our workingmen of modern Eu- rope try to coerce their employers was in substance the way adopted by their dark skinned, meanly clad, poorly-fed predeces- sors in the land of the Nile before Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. M. Mas pero, who is we'll qualified to speak on all points connected with Egyptology, devotes several very interesting pages to the sub ject in his charming stHistoric Readings" 1" which have just been published. It seems that the families of the working class were quite as improvident in Egypt thirty cen | turies ago as some of them are in England at the present day. At the beginning of the month, when they had received their months rations, eating and drinking went on without restraint. By the middle of tho | month the stock began to fail, and the fla I mine began to stare the thriftless house holds in the face. So again and again the, went out on strike in order to extor

AGAIN CONDEMNED.

The New York State Board of Mediation and Arbitration has not figured as very useful body, but in its report concerning thing to say that ought to be needed. It is of the opinion that the measure of coercion of employers by employees, popu larly known as the boycott, as it's work ings are developed in this case, does not conduce to harmony between the parties, and is not calculated to improve the present or any other system of production. On the contrary, it would seem that sooner or later the consequences must be the dis ruption of business relations and destruc- tion of industries. The board says further that it is clearly the province of all per sons who choose to do so to combine their skill and labor, put price upon their use, and sell that use to whomsoever they please, or hold it in idleness as they please. But it is as clearly not the right of any persons, upon the failure of negotiations for satisfactory sale of the use of their skill and labor to other persons

 business of those other persons because
 they refuse to accede to the terms or con-

It is suggested that in so far as the laws of the State fail to protect employers and employees alike in the prerogative of equal right to buy or sell the use of skill and labor, they are deficient and at fault as not conducive to harmonizing the rela- tions of and disputes between employers and the wage-earning masses or to the inn provement of the present system of pro- duction, and should be amended to those most desirable ends
 This is good sense, clearly expressed. The boycott never helped the cause of la 1 bor and never will.

The Cognoscenti-The Fashionable

 The arrival of 'The Angelus" in France again has been hsiled with delight by the French people and the press, and while re- ioicing that the famous masterpiece will never leave its native land again-for 1t Is generally believed that M. Chauchard, at his death, will leave it to the Louvre- they indulge in many sarcastic remarks about its purchase by Americans. ''The thought" they say, "that the buyers of Millet's work were Meconases; they were only secondhand dealers. It was pure Iy commercial affair that had nothing to do with the true love of high art It was doubtless for this purpose that they dis puted it so energetically with the poor M. Proust, who nearly had tine jaundice when it escaped him." They aver that its rsli- gious idea was not understood in America from the fact that ''The Angelus" was called by some Peasants Praying Over | the Grave of Their Little Child," and by others, Peasants in Potato Field. | This recalls an anecdote related by Mur ger.

Being Too Honest.


 ''Seven years ago." he said as he entered a crocksry store on Sixth avenue the oth- CT day, "seven years ago I came in here and bought six plates of you, and handed you"
 He knocked a thirty-cent pitcher of a shelf as he waved his arm about, and af- ter the pieces were gathered up he con- tinued:
 q handed you 8 bill. You warrant ed them plates to be all wool and yard wide, and want to say right here and now that-Excuse me-"
 He knocked couple of lamp chimneys off a rack with his coat-tails, and it was with shade of asperity in his tones that the crockery man asked his errand.
 "Why, I bought six plates of you"
 "Well!"
 "1t was seven years ago."
 "Well"
 ''Them plates came to sixty cents, and I handed you a $5 bill. When I come to count my change I was half way home, and found you had given me II cents too much. I was calcutin' to come to town agin the next week, but-What's thati"
 In moving about in the narrow space his foot hit 8 four-gallon crock and upset it and broke liberal piece out of one side. "Did you want anything:" asked the grocer, in an acid voice. Certainly I do. Kinder risky moving around in here, see. Yes, I found you | had overpaid me by 'leven cents, an though I meant to come in and return it, I've had | @ fever sore on my leg, and I had to go out | to Elmira to see my daughter, and the | old woman has bin ailing more or less Being as I was in town to-day I thought I'd step-Lands, but thar goes sunthin' elsei"
 l It was 50-cent vase, and as the crock cry man gathered up the pieces he took the old man and led him to the door and asked:
 Anything in our line today" l "Of course it'sin your line! want to clear my conscience, and I've come to pay back them leyen cents. Here's quarter which has been plugged, guess and I'll call it g cents"
 "sir, the man who was here seven years ago is dead" | "Gosh!"
 "And l want you to go out of that door and take walk. Keep on walking until you fetch up in the river"
 "What fur! What have I donel'
 "You are too blamed honesti Walk"
 The old man stepped out, and when the door closed after him he turned and re garded the crockery man looking at hin through the glass. It was a long minut, before be got it all straight. Then he spi on the palm of his left hand and made a fis of his right, and, bringing it down with , great "spat!" he shouted:

We cannot all wear diamonds, but we shall soon be able to wear rubies. Two chemists, Freny and Verneui1, who have been experimenting for several years in the production of artificial rubies, report that they have now overcome the difficulty that has hitherto prevented them from producing large rubies, and they can make them of reasonable size.
 Judge Thayer's conduct of the celebrated and complicated horse case which ended yesterday is warmly commended by the lawyers and others who have watched it.

Forgiveness,

There is no bravery like that involved
in the forgiveness of injuries. The
man who forgiyes has two victories
one over himself, and one of the person
who has injured him. Men are not slow
to appreciate and to applaud virtues they
are not so ready to initiate. They will
understand that the sublimest human
act is that of forgiveness. But to APP
preciate a noble act is great deal
easier than to perform one precisely
like it, just as it is comparatively easy
to look upon the sublime heights of q
mountain; but it requires a powerful
long continued effort to reach and
stand upon those heights. The man of
meanest capacity makes himself more
than the peer of the man of the Hottest
capacity, if he forgives him. He who
revenges an injury makes himself the
inferior, not only of his enemy, but of
all others, because he has stopped to a
base act. Revenge is generally dispro-
portionately severe, even if mans
Judgment is taken as the standard, and
he who practices it has laid up for him
self long harvest of regret and re-
morse, while the man who forgives is at
peace with himself and all the world,
and has transformed his enemy into q
friend. We should also make it point
to always forgive those we cannot
thrash. -TeaGs Sifti7lgS.

Fair EanGers.

A duel between two women is almost
unheard of in these days, although oc-
casionally the excitable blood of France
impels fair fencers to match their cour-
age and skill in serious combat. In the
olden times, however, the art of duel
ling was far from being unknown to the
fair sex. Hundreds of years ago women
not only fought each other, but also the
sterner sex, and in the Middle Ages
several cases of wife calling out her
own husband are on record. If lady
killed her opponent, she was regarded
as an honorable widow, and free to
marry again. The husband was also at
liberty to kill his wife, butt she begged
for her life and he still killed her, he
was forced to live in retirement, and
was looked upon as disgraced. Still
later on, German ladies held regular
tournaments, and at the same date the
ladies of Bologna fought merrily with
each other. France has always, how
ever, been the real home of the duel,
and lady duelists survived in that coun-
try long after they died out in other
parts of Europe. We believe that even
French duelists will come to see the
absurdity of the practice in time. Re-
cent examples present very pertinent
illustrations.

TALLRYRAND lid BROOKLYN
ATS Escape from Violent death 1T the
Aand4 al n Maniac

ats Escape from b violent death 1t the
Hands Of a Maniac.
In the extracts from the aTalleyrand
Memoirs, published Ia the January
Century, no mention is made Of the es-
care the distinguished author Of those
Memoirs had, from meeting violent
death on Brooklyn Heights. The Incl
dent Is related in the volume of Fro
ser's Magazine for 1850, and its accu-
racy is vouched for by no less an an-
thority than M. Colmache, Talleyrand's
private secretary.
When Talleyrand fled from France
at the beginning of the Reign of Terror,
he sought refuge in England. There
he remained unmolested until January
of 1874, when on the supposition that he
was more intimately connected with the
events that led to the execution of Louis
XVI. than he cared to admit, he re-
ceived an order to quit England, and
after vainly appealing TO the foreign
secretary, he sailed for the United
States, bearing with him letters of in
PRODUCTION to number of prominent
Americans, among them one from the
Marquis Of Lansdowne to Washington.
He was accompanied in his flight by
M. de Beaumetz, with whom some
time after their arrival in America, he
formed a partnership for the purpose of
fitting out trading vessel. A small
ship was freighted with goods for Cal
cutta, whittier the two exiles had re-
solved to proceed In search of fortune;
and all that was needed to enable them
to put heir scheme into operation was
a fair wind, which however, the elements
refused. In the interval caused by this
detention, Talleyrand had one of what
he called his presentiments, and to its
occult warning, he afterward declared,
he owed the immediate preservation of
his life, salvation from shipwreck, and
that change in his destiny which led to
all the future incidents of his eventful
career. Disappointment and yexation,
preying upon an irritable temper, drove
his partner mad TalIeyrand saw in
sanity in his looks and gestures. but,
suffering himself to be led to the
Heights of Brooklyn, which overlook
the harbor, he turned upon the maniac,
and, fixing his eyes sternly upon him,
exclaimed:
"BeaumetZ, you mean to murder me.
You intend to throw me from the
Heights into the sea below. Deny it,
monster, ii you can."
Thus apostrophized, the unhappy and
conscious-stricken maniac quailed be-
meath the intensity and sternness of his
gaze; confessed that such was his de-
sign; that the thought, like fash from
the lurid fire of hell, had haunted him
day and night; and, finging himself
upon the neck of his mediated victim,
he burst into tears and implored for
giveness. The paroxysm had passed off
and tottering reason had resumed her
sway. Beaumetz was conveyed home
and placed under medical treatment,
and, speedily recovering, proceeded on
his voyage alone, never more to be
heard of.
"My fate,"s said Talleyrand, when
speaking of this incident in after life,
"was at work. "-BrookIy11 Eagle.

This Ii credited as one Of Gen. Lew
Wallace's Turkish Jokes: There lived Id
Stamboul, Turkey, a well-t0-do Turk

one day and wanted to borrow his dom
key to use an hour. Ismail made low
salaam and said:
sNeighbor, am sorry, but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scntari. BY now he is gaYly trotting over

ssJust as Ismaii finished his speech a
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable, which was under the same roof
as IsmaiPs house, but in the rear. The
neighbor said:
s:Ah. hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbor's
ears were deceived, and that the noise
was not donkey's bray. Then the dom
key, which was supposed to be jogging
along toward Scrutari, brayed twice as
loudly. 1t was too much, and the neigh

Then Ismail said: (Which do you

benefit of the doubt, and went away
