The Manufacture of Wild Me-.

There are many curious trades in the
world, but the most strange must surely
be the " artificial manufacture of wild
men" Yet we'll known English doctor
in China has just certified from his own
personal experience that this art is
regularly practiced in the Flowery king
dom.
First youth is kidnapped, thln BIT
by bit he is fiayed alive, and the skin of a
dog or a bear is grated piece By piece
upon him. His vocal chords are next
destroyed by the action of charcoal to
make him dumb, and the double purpose
of causing etiolation " of the skin and
utter degradation of the mental tacul-
ties is effected by keeping him injured
in perfectly black hole for numDer of
years.
in fact, by treating him like brute for
a sufficiently long time he is made into
one. At last he is exhibited to the en-
tirely credulous Chinese as a wild man of
the woods, ana his possessors reap a rich
harvest. The priests, itseems, are adopts
at the art. When a kidnapper, how
ever, is caught by the people he is .orn to
pieces, and when the authorities got him
they torture him and promptly behead

IN A BAD HOLE.
Three Wise Protectionists Whose Lips and
/ Actions Disagree.

Three Wise Protectionists Whose Lips and
/ Actions Disagree.
Hear the three leading giants Of high
protection. Says William NICK inley in
his Indiana speech which declared that
tariffs should be regulated by the differ
ence OF cost OF production between this
and other countries:
We're wages as high in free trade England
AS in protected America would consent to
lowering of the present tariff rates.
Says Senator Aldrch in his great
speech:
The rule that should apply in fixing the
rates of protective duties is that they should
in all cases equal the difference between the
cost of production and distribution. under
normal conditions, of the article in question
in our and in that competing country
where the cost of production is lowest
Says the great John Sherman:
If it should appear by experience that any
of the duties levied by the Mckinley act are
higher than necessary to cover the difference
between the labor of this country and the
labor in Europe, then l for one am in favor of
its change.
Here, then, are the three greatest expo
nents of the Mckinley policy, all COM
mitted to a standard of duties which,
were it applied, would lower the existing
tariffs at least 60 per cent
These three high protection magnates
all have put themselves into bad hole,
says the Boston Globe. If they propose
10 stand by their own words they must
admit that the existing duties are utterly
unwarranted under the " protection for
labor " standard. What are they going
to do about it?

TINE NEGRO VOTE.
Democratic Light on the Race Issue and
the Force Bill

Democratic Light on the Race Issue and
the Force Bill
The plain fact is that the negroes every
where have a right to vote and that their
votes ought to be counted. 1t is charged
by the Republican,, and not denied, we
believe, by the Democrats, that in some
Southern States they are frightened out
of voting, virtually DISTINGUISHED, or
cheated out of the results of voting; and
it is a nice question how far the desper-
ate remedies adopted in the South against
an ignorant and corrupt suffrage are
iustifable. We deny, says the Rochester
Post Express, both the right to resort to
these devices and the plea of necessity on
which they are Employed; but we never
conceded that the force bill, which fell
by the way in the last Congress, was a
proper measure for the protection 81 the
nero voter in the South. To secure the
individual it invaded the rights of the
states, and as a cure would have been
worse than he disease; but it does not
follow because that measure was bad that
the condition of things at which it aimed
is good. And the cry of mo Negro Do
minion" is altogether Inconsistent with
Mr. Cleveland's letter to his colored
friend in Indiana.

HOPE DELAYED.


in every sound think hear ner feet
And still wend my altered way alone,
And still say: Tomorrow we shall meet
watch the shadows in the crowded street;
Each passing face follow, one by one;
In every sound think hear her feet.
And months go by, bleak March and May-day
heat;
Harvest is over, winter well nigh done,
And still say; "To-morrow we shall meet"
Among the city squares, when flowers are
sweet,
With every breath sigh of hers seems
blown
In every sound think hear her feet.
Befry and clock the amending hours repeat,
From twelve to twelve, and still she comes
in none,
And still say: Tomorrow we shall meet"
Oh. long delayed tomorrow Hearts that
beat
Measure the length OF every minute gone.
In every sound think hear her feet.
Ever the suns rise tardily or feet
And light the letters a churchyard stone;
And still say: Tomorrow we shall meet"
And still from out her unknown far retreat
She haunts me with her tender undertone.
In every sound think hear her feet,
And still say "To-morrow we shall meet"

OUR DEBT TO PROTECTION.
TO IT ARE DUE STRIKE METHODS or
"ORGANIZED LABOR
IT il Respon sibfe for Violence and Dehancs
OF Public Authority, for Contempt for
Private Rights-Its BanefuI Effects In
Lines of Lawle ssness.

We are not little indebted to protsc-
tionism for the violence and defiance of
public authority and contempt for pri-
vate rights which characterize the
strike methods OF "organized labor"
Protectionism invites the organization
Of "trustsn and like conspiraoies for the
practice OF extortion by supplying the
condition and means for making such
consp!raciss successful. Workingmen,
says the Chicago Herald, soc these eon-
spiraciss formed by the score. They see
their employers com bining on every hand
to exact tho full pound OF flesh which
the tariff allows them. They see that the
tariff iaws encourage this mode OF extor-
ton, and conclude that what 10 lawful
for their employers IL lawful for them.
But finding that the law does not favor
them as 1t does their employers they are
impelled to seek what they have boon
taught to regard as lawful end by un-
lawful means.
Again, protectionism as taught by its
expounders promises them great rewards.
They are told that high tariff gives them
high wages and is intended for their
good alone. So far as they are led to be-
lieve that they are dependent for high
wages upon acts of Congress, their spirit
OF individual self-reliance is undermined.
Finding that high tariff does not give
them what they have been led to expect,
they enter into irresponsible organiza-
tions, surrender their individual inde-
pendence and submit themselves to the
arbitrary commands OF permanent chiefs.
In obedience to orders from their superb
ors in the strike societies they often
commit acts of which their judgments
and consciences disapprove. Finding
that they do not get their share of the
tariff spoil otherwise, they organizs to
get what they consider their share by I'M
lawful means.
Still further, protectionism teaches
that it is right to license some industrial
classes to prey upon Others and that an
act OF congress comforting the power as
well as the license to rob is a Just law.
This teaching utterly confuses the dis
tinction between justice and injustice,
and tends to destroy in the minds of
those who accept it all respect for the
rights of others.
1t is not surprising that " organized
labor" trained in the school of protec-
tionism for thirty years, should have
come to hold the rights OF unorganized
labor in contempt. 1t 10 not surprising
that their demands should sometimes
overstep the bounds of reason, and that
they should sometimes seek to gain their
ends by unlawful means. Unreasonable
ness and lawlessness are the natural
fruits OF q system which is essentially
unjust, but which workingmen have been
taught is necessary to the existence of
some industries, and not only conducive
to their welfare but devised and intended
chiefly or solely for their benefit.

The smallest measure of weight in
use, the grain, has its name from
being originally the weight OF a grain
81 wheat \ statute passed in Eng
land i'll 1865 ordained that thirty two
grains OIL wheat, taken from the middle
of the ear or head and we'll dried
should make pennyweight, twenty
OF which should make an ounce, while
twelve ounces were to make pound.
The pound, therefore, consisted then of
1850 grains. Some centuries later
the pennyweight was divided into
twentyfour grains, which make the
troy pound, as now used, $500 grains.
The pennyweight was the exact
weight Of the old silver penny. st.

WHERE TO SEE THE WIND BLOW.
And Where the Mirage Initiates Water
in the Distance.

in the Distance.
pigs can see the wind Is & coun-
try proverb Of some age, and is, per-
haps, tribute to the understanding
of an animal that, while nominally
the stupidest of brutes, is really one Of
the smartest. But anybody can see
the wind If he will stand in the right
place. They say that if you will hold
a broad bladed knife or any other
piece OF polished metal at slight
slant toward the breeze and look
along its windward surface you can
see the air flow up and fall Off on the
leeward side. Perhaps 50, but you
can see 1t for O certainty on the West
ern plains on an average summer day.
When the sun Is well up. say from
noon till o'clock. and the earth Is
getting pretty warm, the heated air
ris,s from the whole country.
The dryness CT the atmosphere
seems to make 1t especially elastic,
and as you look of toward the hori-
zon it seems alive with vibrations.
These little waves cause a stratum OF
alteration that amounts to obscura-
ton, so that you do not see things
through them but only sky reflections,
as on water, and as the bright blue
color shows at the foot OF the hills and
woods it resembles a lake spread
there, with the hills and woods jutting
into it as capes or dotted over it as
islands. This is the famous mirage
Of the plains and the desert that de-
ceives raw travellers with a promise Of
water.
If, however, this stratum Of rising
air has no hills behind it, you can see
the wind blow through it, because it
setsi ripping and flowing and causes
distortion in the more distant ground
surface. When the day is warm. the
heat reflection considerable and the
wind moderate you can see the air
waves move as easily as you can see
wheat bend before the breeze.
The true mirage, which results from
magnifying these conditions of rising
air and q colder stratum and that
brings objects into view that are
below the horizon-a phenomenon
identical in process with tho distortion
that makes the submerged part OF a
stick seem to bend when it is thrust
into water-this mirage is less often
seen here than on the seaboard. And
there has been some tall lying about
it there. Next to the moon hoax there
never was bigger fraud than the one
perpetrated on innocent believers, by
man who had just been up in
Alaska, and who swore that back of
Muir Glacier was a permanent mirage
rejecting the spires and roofs of city
In the sky. Some men said there
must be city hidden in an unex-
plored valley to the eastward, and all
kinds Of fairy stories about lost tribes
and civilized Indians and treasure
towns, were invented to fit the case.
But one day man who was born in
Bristol, England, saw the photograph
OF the city in the air that the liar was
exhibiting, and he recognized it as
his native place. The liar had taken
a plain, everyday photograph Of
Bristol and had smeared and softened
the edges, as they do in vignette por-
traits. Since his downfall permanent
mirages are not slated among the at
fractions free to buyers of excursion
tickets to Alaska.
