This was too much for Tammany. To
see beautiful little souvenirs of this
kind bearing protection sentiments going
into the families of Democratic New
York would not do. So consultation
was held in the secret chambers of Tam
many, and blue coated policemen were
detailed to stand guard at the schools
and prevent the distribution of the
plates. Of course they carried out their
orders, and when the eager children
next day looked anxiously for the dis
tributers they found them not They
had been informed that they would be
arrested if they continued their distribu-
ton.
But it will not stop here. Under re-
publican administration of the United
States government the mails are open
to all who want to use them, whether
Democrat or Republican, black or
white, old or young, of American or
foreign birth. And one of the pretty
little tin plates, which is accurately
represented in the cut, can be sent
with safety by mail. And the children
and grown people, too-of the city
and the whole United States are smart
enough to know that. They can outwit
Tammany Hall and Chairman Harrity
and Mr., Cleveland and all the Demo
cratic machine by sending a two cent
stamp to Wilbur F. Wakeman, Protect

ing for one of those cute little tin plates
to be sent by mail. And they will get
them.

THE BLOOMING JAY"

wit Tammany, Harrity and Grover.
The Democrats are evidently afraid of
the tin plate argument. They know that
under the Mckinley law the manufac-
ture of tin plate in this country has not
only become practicable, but many mil
lions of dollars have been invested in it,
forty or fifty establishments for its
manufacture opened, and thousands of
workmen given employment at good
prices. So they see that the feature
of the Mckinley law, which they most
strongly denounced, is already proved
blessing. But they want to conceal
that fact and prevent people talking
or thinking about it, or about the benefit
which protection brings. And they have
decided to use the official machinery of
Tammany in Newly rk city to prevent it.
This was the way it came about: The
Protective Tariff league, through its Sec
rotary, Mr.. Wilbur z. Wakeman, de-
cided to bring the tariff question, and
particularly the tin plate feature of it,
to the attention of the families of New
York by distributing to the school chill
dren as they came from the schools
daily some cute little tin plates, made

legend and are a matter of interest to

hundreds of thousands of the bright,

the families of the city, and carrying

taken every opportunity to- malign
Republicans, had sane period in his
editorial capacity for few minutes
and in an editorial in the Sunday
Globe, as will be seen by the quotations
below, he admits that the Republican
party is not as black as he has hither-
to painted it:
Honest Republicans are numerous;
no one will deny that the vast MAORI
ty of the rank and file of Republicans
desire to do right.
An open confession is good for the
soul.
Honest Republicans do not believe
that the party should be made the pro-
tectOr and defender of the elevator
and wheat combine.
Right you are. And they propose
that in the future as in the past the
party shall stand by and protect the
interests of the farmer as far as can
be done by legislature.
Honest Republicans do not believe
that man can change his views and
his principles as he does his coat.
1t has taken Brother Baker long
time to find this out, but he is finally
obliged to acknowledge that Republic
cans have no use for such men but ad-
mire those who have the courage of
their convictions.
Honest Republicans do not believe
the railroad corporations should con-
troll and rule this state.
Right again you are, Bro. Baker,
and therefore the Republicans pur-
pose to elect men to public positions
who are not controlled by these cor
porations. But after reading the abuse
you have showered upon the Re
publicans through the columns of your
paper we are surprised that you make
this acknowledgements.
Honest Republicans do not believe
is rewarding traitors in order to bribe
them to come back to the party.
The Democratic chairman shows his
ability in thus correctly sizing up the
Republicans who have no use for such
men as Gen. Baker of this county.

European Brides.

Nothing has proven more conclusively
the great advantage which our reel
procity treaty gives the United States
over the European countries than the
development of the scheme on the part
of Germany to induce South American
governments to break off their reci-
procity treaties with the United States.
The evidence seems to be beyond ques-
ton that an offer was sent from Ger
many to President Heureux, of San
Domingo, proposing to pay him 500, OOO
a year if he would break off the reci-
procity treaty with the United States.
President Heureux, it seems, sent spe
cial envoy to the United States to see if
this country would make a higher bid.
Secretary Foster replied promptly that
"The United States is neither to be
blackmailed or bullied. If your coun
try breaks the treaty it must be prepared
to bear all the consequences, for in my
mind the word reciprocity is associated
with retaliation

THE appeals which the St. Paul
Globe have made for Doodle has had
the effect of arousing the cupidity of
the baser elements of Democracy and
impressed upon their minds that the
leaders of Minnesota Democracy are
running the campaign this year for
what there is in it, and consequently
they are determined to have what
they think is their share of Doodle,
therefore it is not surprising to see

SENATOR HILL is as shrewd as he
is unprincipled in the political world.
Four years ago when he ran for gov
ernor of New York, his vote ran
ahead of Cleveland, and he was ac-
cused of treachery. This year there
is only one State officer to be voted
for and Mr.. Hill does not intend that
his enemies shall have chance to
even compare votes, so he has had
his State committee endorse the Re-
publican candidate for Chief Justice
of the Court of Appeals.

- THE speech which Mr.. Blaine made
the other night at Ophir Farm, the
country home of Whitelaw Reid, is a
severe blow to Democratic hopes, for
it dispels forever the idea that
the great leader of Republican
ism is sulking in his tent.
He gave his unqualified support
to Mr.. Harrison's administration and
in few words showed why Republi-
can success was of vital Importance to
the best interests of the nation. He
showed the Importance of the manu-
featuring interests and how they are
growing in western states, which Dem
ocracy say are becoming impoverish-
ed to help enrich the east Another
telling point which Mr.. Blaine made,
and one which shows the falsity upon
which the free trade line of argument
is based, was in regard to the piling
up of wealth. Democracy says that
the tariff is the cause of the building
up of the great millionaires. Mr..
Blaine replies tC this by stating that
in taking the first $50 great fortunes
of New York, mot three, not two, not
more than one would be considered as
direct from manufacturing interests"
There was much of his old time vigor
in his remarks, and an earnestness
which showed him to be deeply inter-
ested in the success of party of which

WHAT are you Democrats in this
state who want to vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land going to do? You cannot cast a
full vote for him. By the action of
your State Committee in pulling off
four of the Democratic electors, and
endorsing four Populist party electors,
you can only cast five-ninths of vote
for cleveland. Do you propose to
cast the other four-ninths of your vote
for another candidate and for other
principles including the subtreasury
and other wildcat schemes?

THE Globe has suddenly found out
that the aims of Democracy and
the Populists are the same. 1t was a
big gulp, but the Globe seems to have
been successful in swallowing the
sub-treasury scheme. But then after
taking the Chicago wheat gamblers
it probably wasn't such bad tasting
mouthful as it otherwise would have
been.

genius, and you can't have factories
springing up in this country in every
direction if the goods that we need

that we have patent laws, if it isn't

the bill abolishing convict labor in pris-

If not they will vote for Cleveland.
But how are they going to do it? The

AT the outset of the campaign the
Democrats were bowling for cam
paign of education and clean one.
Possibly they call the egg campaign

again it is possible that Chairman-Ed-

off by the Chicago wheat gamblers is
in the interest of a clean campaign.

was increased. He figures out that
this takes SIG, OOO,O 900 out of the people
of this country. But unfortunately
he stops right there and declines to
tell how this increased duty is taking
this extra money out of the pockets of
the people, while they are buying tin
ware cheaper than ever before. The
trouble is he has not figured out that
part of it yet.

strongly suspected that Gen. Benja-

Curtius on Eyes.

Prof Ernest Curtius, the famous
Greek scholar and arch9ologist of the
University of Berlin, announced few
months ago that he had discovered that
the Greek sculptOrS always made the
eyes of mer fuller and rounder than
those of women, says the New York
Tribune. The alleged discovery was
considered important, as it was believed
that it would lead to proper classifica-
ton of many of the unidentified heads
of Greek statues. The hopes, however.
seem to be premature, despite the fact
that CurtiuS, who has been called 1.-The
Modern Greek" fathered them. DR..
Greet, of Berlin. in a recent lect-
ure delivered before the PruSsian
Academy of Science, declared
that Curtlus' conclusions were wrong,
as he mad found fiat. narrow eyes
those of women, according to Curtius-
in the heads of Greek statues of men.
He had also measured plastic repre-
sensations of women with large, full
eyes. In nature, he added, there was
10 difference between the eyes OF men
and women. He had examined recently,
in Berlin, the eyes of hundred mem
berS of each sex, and had found that
they were the same in shape, size and
form. He thus upheld the theories of
linn and Sommerling, that the Greek
sculptorS who gave greater fulneSs to
the eyes of men than to those of women
did not follow the conditions of nature.
Prof. Curtius, as far as is known, has
not replied to DR.. Greet. His answer is
awaited with interest.

The Black Pone.

Father Anderledy, general of the order
of the JesuitS. whose death has just
been reported at Rome. was very
remarkable man, and in every way
merlted the title of the "black pope"
which was given TO him at the Vatican.
He was the son of Swiss peasant and
was born on the slopes of the Simplon.
Duling the revolution of the Sender
bund in Switzerland, when the Jesuits
were driven out of the country, he came
near losing his life at the hands of a
fanatical and Infatuated mob, and only
escaped by being thrown into prison,
says the New York Recorder
Father Anderledy was well known in
this country, for it was here that lie was
ordained priest,and for a couple OF years
he devoted himself to Catholic mission
work at Green Bay. Wis.
AT one time he WAS renowned for his
eioqrence. ana the silyery tones OF his

every city of Importance fr0m the Al
lantic ocean to the Russian frontier, but

three Superi0rs which the order has had
since its foundation. He was born

Latin and Hebrew he perfectly spoke

1t is difficult to say who will he

tendency being to select man devoid

to European politics.
