CONSIDERING that the House Of Com
mons met for the obsequies Of the dead
majority, and that the Queens speech
was tame, brief affair, so
formal that it could not be re-
garded as a eulogy, so perfunctory that il
could not have been intended as imoer-
tinent advice the majority, the Liberals
might have been magnanimous enough
not to say genteel enough, to spare their
Kisses. 1t may be English but a hiss
in this country is an insult. There was
nothing in the speech itself, or in the
occasion, TO demand such offensive con
demnation. 1t argues n lack of gnity,
failure to appreciate the gravity Of the
situation on the part Of those who have
assembled for the momentous duty Of
making laws which may assist or mar
the welfare and happiness Of great
nation.

AFTER the report of the committee Of
the Senate 60 examine the effect Of the
Mckinley bill on wages has stated that
wages have increased it seems a little in
opportune, just little contradictory, as
IL were that we have SO many and such
radical reductions Of wages in the pet
iron and steel trade. The tremendous
incident OF tho Homestead lockout,
considered together with many smaller
difficulties about wages in the protected
pets, including the scurvy trick of the
Delaware Iron Works here at home, have
a tendency to modify that report even II
they do not stamp it as untruthful Mr.
Carlisle says that it is one Of those half
truths which are more dangerous than
outright lies. Wages have increased
but in free industries only. In protected
industries wages have either remained as
they were or decreased.

IL the statements in our New Castle
letter are accurate, as we feel confident
they are, it seems strange that the Della
ware Iron Works should have taken
snap -judgment, or worse, played trick
ON their employees by reducing wages
unawares In recalling the men to work
in their old positions the men naturally
understood that they were TO have the
same wages. That was the logical con
clusion. The employers could not have
been ignorant that the men would arrive
at that conclusion, when. aftera suspen-
sion Of five weeks for repairs, the same
men, are recalled to do the same worl,
they had done before, in the same mill.
If the employers did that thing know
ingly and with intent to deceive the men,
they did disgraceful thing. 1t is
scarcely conceivable that they would re-
duce wages by trick when they were moi
willing to reduce them openly. w,
trust there win be some explanation
of this conduct for It is not wise for tn,
company, as it is not prudent for tn,
commonwealth that such tricks SHOULD
be perpetrated The consequences might
be disastrous. The iron industry is on,
of the particular pets Of the protection
lists and Of the Republican party and tn,

A sERvlAN SONG.

Mother. dear little lad
Alone through the night is creeping:
lie had lost his way, and is sad:
| hear him bitterly weeping.
/ know he is coming to me:
GOtO the door and see."
Daughter, woman's undOing
Is TO be won without wOOing.
When she meets her lover halfway,
He holds her favor light
As the cup he drains by day.
Or the lamp he burns at night"
Mother, no more,
But open the door.

He must be housed and fed:
/ will give him kisses for wine.
And my eyes shall light him to bedln

the awful consequences that they tell,
but for their truth. We have few ships
and no commerce This condition was
brought about TO help the American indus
tries that we had been helping for one
hundred years and which we sud
denly discovered to be in a
crippled condition of pauperism.
We said that no citizen should sail a
foreign built ship. No citizen should
make and no citizen should buy ship
as cheap here as it could be bought
elsewhere. No citizen should bring
goods into our ports and sell them
without paying duty on them that the
government did not need, and that more
than one-half of the people objected to
collecting. Is it strange that these ad-
verse laws and these dishonest and vim
dictive measures should have killed one
of the most important beneficial and pro-
iitable branches Of industry that can en-
gage the attention Of any peoplel
The contention Of the three great
powers, China, Russia and Great Britain,
for the possession Of the frozen and
sterile land of the Panims, is ABSOLUTELY
unwaTanted by any intrinsic value of
the country It is difficult for layman
to understand the strategetic Importance
of the country to England. OF course
we can understand that England wishes
TO begin to protect her Indian boundaries
as far away from the boundaries as posi-
bic, but since nobody is attacking, or is
likely TO attack, India, it seems strange
that England should want to garrison
and hold those bleak Himalayan crags
for fear that Russia or China should
suddenly take fighting ft and attempt
to hold them against her. Neither Russia
nor China would attempt to attack
English claims in India. China claims
both the Panims, and her prior claim
gives her all the right great Europea n
power would need to drive out both
England and Russia, if she had the force
to do it, The English have already
taken possession of some of the noun
tain passes and If the willy Chinese can
not induce the native tribes to Ids
p osses them neither Russia nor China
have either force or the will or the
right to attempt it. No power has at
tempted to attack any British claims in
India; no power except Russia is near
enough to threaten any English posses
sions, and Russia has enough unoccu-
pied territory before her in the eau
casus and in Afghanistan to occupy her
attention for many years to come Eng
land has turbulent hill tribes in India
and sterile territory enough TO keep
them savage But both England and
Russia have that desire for the acquis-
ton of territory everywhere which ap-
proaches in beth cases a national in

REFERRING TO the calamity prophets
who filled England with lachrymous
tales Of woe to prevent the passage of
the act reducing the duties on French
wines, Justin Mccarthy says
One impassioned speaker, glowing into
a genuine prophetic fury as he spoke,
warned his hearers of the near approach
of a time when man suddenly entering
one of the accursed confectioners shops,
in quest of the missing members of his
family would find his wife lying drunk
in one room and his daughter disgraced
in another.
That is sample of protectionism Of
twenty years ago. 1t reads so much like
the nonsense of tin-plate bowler Of
to-day that they are evidently from the
same breed Mr. Mccarthy says the
light wines have been beneficial for being
cheap They have displaced the heavikr
and more fiery drinks which used to
obtain. Under the license of the confec-
toner to sell light wines the Frenchmen
with mustaches and no morals have
not immigrated TO take advantage of the
opportunities to debase wives and dehour
the maids Of England. There was no evil
effect from the treaty between England
and France under Louis Napoleon
Mccarthy says;
We gave France much more reduction
Of duty than we got but the reduction
was in every instance a direct benefit to
our consumers.
OF course it viii appear strange to q
protectionist who follows the Mckinley
notions Of blocking a country's ports L
make her rich, that any good could CONF
from low prices TO consumers. Consumers
who expected articles at low prices
must have been unpatriotic and un-Eng
lish, they must have had French gold il
their pocket then as they are un-Amer
lean and have British gold in thei
pockets here now. NJ. Mccarthy
intelligence and accuracy cannot b,
doubted Cheap goods are beneficial
to consumers, Notwithstanding the fac
that we have philosophers and newspape
writer's seeking foreign missions who ar
constantly teaching that there may
too much cheapness.
