PROTECTION lYGE RMASY.
The Undertaken aud Grave Digger Now
Reaping the Benefit of IL.
ynrlf Eyauiny p.a.


Rcaping the Benefit of II.
New York Evening Post.
The blessings of the protective policy
are quite generally distributed over the
face Of the earth, but they are perhaps
at present nowhere more conspicuously
displayed than in Germany. IL may
sound un-Amercan TO place another
country before our own, but for several
reasons We think that we ought to yield
the precedence. What was
lacking in the protective system of Ger
many, Russia has supplied, and the
German laborer's food will now cost
him more than ever before. Why this
result should follow may be more easily
understood by,Amcricans If we suppose
England to prohibit the expectation of
tin plate. How the American tin-plate
industry would flourish under such an
effective supplement to our own feeble
measure of protection! Its progress
would strain the imagination Of Mr..
Mckinley and exhaust the mendacity Of
the protection press, while the rise in
the prices of tinware would be appre-
ciated by all farmers and laborers.
1t might seem that the German
la1orcr was now receiving about as
much protection as was good for him,
but the Mckinley tariff comes as a
GROWING blessing. The protectionist
newspapers inform lis with delight that
the business of whole villages in Ger
many has been ruined and their inhabi-
tlnts reduced to starvation as result Of
this measure. Their wages, we have
been repeatedly assured, were before
thp Of IA, ,s.l,
enough to keep body and soul together,
and now they arc altogether cut OFF.
In their case protection may be said to
have done its perfect work, and in the
stimulus to the industry of the grave
digger and the undertaken to have
attained its eliminating success.

DUBLIN, Oct. 13.-The Freen,ans Jour
nal to-day bitterly deplores the an
nounced intention Of the members Of
parliament who represent the Parnellite
party TO nurture the factional feud
which has existed between themselves
and the party, acknowledging Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy as its leader, The Journal
adds that, should they continue in their
determination, unending strife is in pros
pect if they place before tho country the
programme offered to it. 1t is the
greatest act of cruel and useless treaoh-
cry ever. perpetrated upon the Irish
nation.
The Natioad, Press, organ of the Me-
Carthyites, also commenting upon the
manifesto of the Parnellitc party, re-
marks, "The Parnellites, as is we'll
known, are now mere puppets of the
secret societies."

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 13.-The Prcsby-

continental Europe in their place and
we insist upon the teaching of the Eng.

IRE opposed to the formation of little

other clannish tendencies which keep
immigration from becoming homco-

MARKHAM sayings known to me is the
following; An illustrious British diplo-
matist and proconsul, still happily ex-

ambassador at st. Petersburg, though it
would be expedient while passing
through Berlin to pay visit to Prince
Bismarck, whom he knew 10 have pre-
viously represented Prussia in the Mus
cogite capital. He was especially anxious
TO CLEAN from SO competent an authority
some really trustworthy hints as to the
character Of the people among whom
he was TO sojourn. The chancellor
summed up his appreciation in one curt
and incisiye sentence: "Ihe Russian"
he said, SIS Q capital fellow till lie tucks
his shirt in"
To understand the rare subtlety and
acumen Of this axiom you must bear i'm
mind that Ivan Ivanovich, the burly,
blue.eyed, blond boarded Russian
mouJlk or peasant, habitually wears his
shirt outside his galligaskins. He is a
really capital fellow, grossly supersti-
tlotis and very drunken, but brave,
honest, laborions, atlectionate and docile,
But when he tucks his shirt in, and in.
stead of coarse canvas wears finest cam.

Prof. Harrington will also make ar
rangemcnts to have the flags displayed
on railroad cars. The starting points OF
the trains on all the railroads will be
supplied every morning with the fore
cast, and one man on each train will be
assigned to the duty Of displaying the
flags.
When the public has made itself
familiar with the code, every person can
ascertain the forecast by looking at any
passing train.
THE WHISTLE SIGNALS.
The professor has also invented a
plan TO have locomotives and factories
whistle the forecasts for the informa-
ton Of farmers who live too far away to
see the flags.
Notification will be given in every
town and village where there is d
steam whistle thatat certain hour every
day the whistle will sound the signal TO
indicate the probable weather for the
ensuing twenty-four hours.
Factories will receive the forecast by
telegraph and locomotive engineers will
receive it at their starting point.
The warning signal to attract atten-
ton will be what is called the long blast
lasting twenty seconds. After this sig
nal has been sounded, blasts of from
four to six seconds duration will refer
to the weather; short blasts of three
seconds each will refer to the temperature
those for the weather 10 be sounded

some difficulty may arise with regard
to the locomotive whistles. Engineer,

THE NEW CITY DIRECTORY
johnson q Chapman's Enterprise.

The general directory of the City of San
Antonio for the year 1891 together with a
complete business directory, issued by
the firm of johnson x Chapman. and
printed by the printing house of John
son Bros" is now ready to deliver to sub
ScribCrS.
The work is the best that has ever been
issued for our city, being complete in
its contents, and arranged under its diff
crent headings on the most convenient
plan. The street directory alone is worth
the price of the boon. the business direct
DRY is also complete the society directory
and other information proper in such
a work is the best that has been publish
ed.
Heretofore the directory business has
been gotten up by an outside firm, who
made it a matter of speculation, working
the town FOR a few weeks. and re-printing
substantially the directory of the previous
year over again. The new directory is a
home enterprise and reflects credit upon
the publishers.
The time has come when San Antonio
has reached such metropolitan growth
rs not to require the services of outside
firms to get-up directories: that is proven
by the work before us. 1t deserves the
liberal patronage of our business men.
