MARJORIE's CANADIAN WINTER BY
AGNES MAULE MACHAR. Boston: II. Lo-
throp Company. Cloth. eLt0.
Children of all ages and both sexes will
enjoy this story OF Canadian life with It's
descriptions of Canadian life with It's de-
scriptions OF tobogganing and the splen-
did winter carnival at Montreal--the glo-
ries Of the ice palace being particularly
gratifying aud to some extent soothing to
persons blessed with an imaginative tenn
permanent, when revelled in at this suitry
season.
Marjorie Is a bright and sympathetic
girl who lives in the vicinity OF New
York. Her invalid father is packed on
by his doctors for winter In the South.
direction to spend the period OF his ab-
sence with an aunt In Canada.
Bundled up In her blanket suit, tuque
and furs she has jolly good time after
the true Canadian fashion In cold weather
adventures which it would hardly be fair
TO the prospective reader to 80 much as
hint at here.
Miss Machar, the authoress, is herself q
fine example OF healthy physique and
muscles we'll developed by careful train
ing, as well as an enthusiast In her love
of nature at all seasons Of the year.
In her summer home at Gananoquc, the
little island among the group of Thousand
Islands In the st. Lawrence, which Is her
own personal property, she enters into
outdoor sports with keen delight, and her
slight little figure may often be seen Ms
she glides about in her swift canoe up
aud down the river. She has even been
known to shoulder the slender craft when
assistance was unavailable, and tramp of
briskly under its not-slight weight.
But these features of Canadian life by
no means make the entire story. Histori-
cal incidents are introduced and told In a
way to make them vividly interesting to
young people, aud the happy home life Of
Marjorie's cousins is very invitingly pre-
sented

by Joseph kirkland. This is not so in
appropriate as 1t seems, since New Eng
land probably lost moro heavily by the
fire than Chicago itself. Three articles
upon Walt Whitman will please the sane
lovers of that sane soul for that they are

PEARL BUTTONS.


PEARL BUTTONS.
Pearl buttons are not new subject
to readers of the News but the fact that
the industry is already established in
our city will not only be news to many
but it will be conclusive evidence that
the practical effects of the Mckinley
bill are visible in PROVIDENCE.
1t will at once be claimed by the free
traders that the establishment of the
pearl button industry in PRovIDENcE
is due to the inventive genius of one
man who devised labor saving machine
for making buttons, and that their pro-
duction Is therefore due wholly to the
fact that this machinery makes them
cheaper than they can be made else
where. In short that it is the superior
skill and inventive genius of our
worlSmen and not protection that makes
the industry possible.
This is an argument or rather a state
ment that the free trade Democrats con-
tinually make and its repetition is sure
to occur wherever any machine is in
vented to be used i'm the manufacture Of
protected product. The Democrats
have so often reiterated the statement
that undoubtedly many of them believe
1t. But it is that specious form of argu-
ment that comes from partial exami-
nation of the subject and is largely due
to ignorance.
There are a few facts to be considered.
1t is generally acknowledged that there
was practically no pearl-button industry
in this country before the Mckinley law
went into effect. II is also true that
millions of dollars of capital have been
invested in that industry within
the past eighteen months. 1t is
fact that before the Mckinley
law became operative good pearl button
makers could be easily hired at $l2 per
week, and large numbers of them could
not find work at that. Now pearl but
ton makers readily command from $ls
to $24 per week, and there is great
scarcity of skilled workmen even at
those prices.
The direct result of the establishment
Of pearl button manufacture and the
employment of skilled labor has been
the turning of many thoughtful work
men toward the processes employed in
this industry. Keen minds have thought
out mechanical problems and inventive
genius has produced practical machines.
Had there been no protection on pearl
buttons there would have been no manu-
facture Of them in this country. Had
there been no pearl button factories
there would have been no skilled work
men engaged in producing buttons, and
no inventive minds dwelling on methods
for saving labor and perfecting ma
chinery to reduce the cost Of produc-
tion. The invention of labor-saving
machinery can be explained in no other
way than to attribute it to the system
of protection, by which all kinds and
varieties of industries are fostered and
placed on a level with each other in this
country.
1t is protection and the Mckinley bill
that have made the pearl button indus
try and it is that same protection under
the Mckinley bill that has established
factory in this city, and whether the
proposed enlargement of the works takes
place in this city or in some Western
State, tho employment of 450 workmen
and 100000 Of capital will be due
solely to the Mckinley bill.

The arrest of Miss Lizzie Borden, yes
terday, charged with the murder Of her
father and her step-mother is the
climax of the first stage in one OF the
most shocking and remarkable tragedies
in the history of New England.
The public is now called upon to ex-
ercise all the forbearance, intelligence
and humanity 1t is possible for it to en-
tertain. While the tragedy was ter
rible one, and the necessity of finding
and furnishing the perpetrator one OF
the gravest responsibilities that can ever
be brought to bear upon the officers of
organized society, the young woman
who is alive and is accused of crime
almost too hideous to contemplate must
be considered, and she must be chari-
tably and leniently considered.
To very many people who have closely
followed the lame and halting course Of
the Fall River authorities since the
murder. with what intelligence the
great mass of garbled and imagined
matter that has been printed in the va
rious papers that have exerted all their
enterprise upon the case permitted, it
appears that the police authorities have
given the circumstantial evidence that
they have considered all the weight it
can possibly be credited with, and that
in arresting Miss Borden and formally
accusing her of this double murder they
have assumed responsibility the ex-
treme gravity of which demands prompt
and complete justification at their
hands.
So far as the public has been ad-
mitted to the confidence of the police,
which is to an almost infinitesimal ex-
tent, there has been nothing revealed
that justifies the accusation of murder
brought against this young woman.
The probabilities of the case seem all to
point away from her. It was
such terribly brutal crime as
seems possible only for a ma
MAC. There is no known circum-
stance connected with it that justifies
the motive that is imputed to Miss Bor-
den. There is nothing in the life of the
accused woman to justify the suspicion
that is directed against her. The po-
lice may have evidence that will con-
vince the public that their course is JUS
tifiable, and that will convict the ac-
cused. But their halting course thus
far seems to clearly imply that, while
they felt the need of taking some de-
cided step to maintain their reputation,
their knowledge of the case is less con-
elusive than they could desire.
Whatever may develop in the future,
it is to-day the imperative duty of the
public to withhold Judgment upon the
unfortunate young woman who is ac-
cused of crime that would have made
the world shudder thousand years ago,
and that to-day wrenches ones belief in
the ultimate uplifting of the human
race to plane above the occasional re-
version to the most barbaric acts of the
most tnGbaric period of its existence.

Cousin John and hin wife were visit

The next morning the visitors awoke
and looked out of their window. A fog,
or something very much like fog, such
as they were familiar with down east"
held possession of the country, and they
could see nothing of the scenery.
They went down to breakfast, and the
host apologized for the weather; it was
the first fog he had seen for two years,
be assured them, and it would lift in an
hour or two.
Sure enough. it did lift, and before
night it was blowing gale. The sever
