the magnificent Shenandoah, the Ameri-

sailing vessels, which few months ago
went from San Francisco to Liverpool
with 5,O02 tons of wheat on board.
Consider first the big sailer. The
Shenandoah, commanded by Captain
Murphy, was one of the five which left
the Bay Of San Francisco last year on
the famous race around the Horn They
sailed at high tide, of necessity, as they
drew twenty-seven feet of water. The
weight of wheat aboard, 5000 tons, was
the greatest cargo of the kind ever
placed in a vessel and equivalent to
1865, 133 bushels, or the crop of an aver
age agricultural county. An adequate

that, radiating energy at its present

Telling Arrangement.


Democratic editors and orators
charge the trouble at Homestead
and the interpostion of Pinkerton
emissaries therein to the operation
of the Mckinley law, The false
hood and hypocrisy Of this claim
are pointedly exposed by T. Y.
Powderly through late issue Of
the Journal Of the knights Of
Labor. He says:
Partisan papers are endeayoring
to make political capital out Of the
terrible scenes which took place at
Homestead the other day. The
Democratic papers are vehement in
their denunciation Of the Republi-
can party for enacting a tariff law
under which protection was afforded
to manufacturers.
Tariff laws could not be passed
without discussion, and in all Of
the debates which took place in
congress over the Mills and Nc.
Kinley bills / can not find that a
sjngle amendment lcas altered By q
Democrat to gioe the aeorkaaea u
certain portion Of tie tart aohea
collected. The Mills bill and the
Mckinley bill differ very little in
the duty on steel rails, plates, etc.
One was a Democratic bill, the
other a Republican. The NchmJey
bill reduced the duty on the articles
manufactured at Homestead, and
Democratic papers in asserting that
the trouble at that point is due to
the Mckinley bill are but CON
demning the very thing that they
themselves advocate and on which
they base THEN claim to power-a
reduction OF the tariff
The Plnkertons existed before
the Mills bill was introduced in
congress-, and that institution con
tinues to flourish now that the Nc
Kinley bill is in force. If the
Democrats who are 50 eager to
make political capital out Of this
difficulty will lend me their ears, !
will whisper to them that Repre-
sentative Watson, of Georgia, has

A WRITER in a leading daily
paper gives the Young American
the following not very compli-
mentary send off: Every Ameri-
who goes to another country notices
the respect and reverence shown by
young persons to those who are
their seniors They remain silent
when their elders are speaking and
seldom talk unless they are address,
ed. It is not necessary to cross the
ocean to observe the difference of
young people to those who are old,
and To contrast the condition Of
affairs with what exists in this coun-
try; for il is noticeable as soon As
we cross the Canadian boundary.
Outside our own country young
persons are dererential not only to
old people, but to all who hold
public positions They are specially
respectful to their parents and
teachers, to magistrates, clergymen
and the officers of the law
