Protection in Britain.

By strange coincidence great
number of American farmers, by far
the most prosperous of their class in
the world, have decided that they
want the system under which their
great prosperity was attained abolished
jus at time when the British farmer,
who has had nearly half century's
experience of the opposite policy, is
clamoring most loudly for protection.
Farming in England has been almost
ruined by free trade, and to-day its con-
dition is wretched beyond description
Meetings are being held, the cable in
forms us, in the agricultural districts
to denounce free trade, and farmers
are universally demanding a tariff to
protect their products
The difference between the farmers
of Britain and America is simply that
the former have tried free trade and
know what it is, while the latter have
only heard it described by Democratic
orators. Wisdom will come in time to
them, as it has come to British agricul-
turists.-NelO York Press.

Breaking Up a Witness.

In no way can barristers better display
their acuteness than by seeing at a glance
the character of the witnesses they are
about to examine and by treating them
accordingly, Erskine was famous al
this. In a case in which he was en-
gagged commercial traveller came int
the witness box dressed in the height Of
fashion and wearing a starched white
necktie folded in the Brummel fold. La
an instant Erskine knew his man, though
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with an air of careless amuse-
ment, "You were born and bred in Man
chester, perceive" Greatly aston
ished at this opening remark, the man
admitted that he was. Exactly" OBJ
served the great cross examiner, in a
conversational tone; Il knew it from
the absurd tie of your neckcloth."
The roars of aughter-coming from
every person in the court, with the sin
gle exception of the unfortunate witness
which followed this rejoinder COM
pletely effected Erskine's purpose, which
was to put the witness in state of agi-
tation and confusion before touching on
the facts concerning which he had come
to give evidence.-London illustrated

The Populist newspapers of Kansas
are advocating the sending of Mrs.
Lease to the United States senate, and
many of the leading men in that party
have discussed the proposition and
make no serious objections to it..
United States senators should be selec-
ted from the best material of the party
in power, and if, as is probable, among
the Kansas Populsts the women excel
the men in intelligence, there may be
nothing unreasonable in the selection.
1t is doubtful however, if, in the event
of Mrs. Leases election by the Kansas
legislature, she would be admitted to
a seat by the federal senate, which is
final Judge of the qualifications of its
members The constitution certainly
contemplates the election to that office
of men only, for in referring to senators
it invariably uses the masculine form
of the pronoun. This would be suffi-
cient ground for refusing to admit a
woman, and there could be no appeal.

If anything were needed to complete
the proof of the absolute correctness
of Commissioner Peck's labor report
it is his unconditional discharge by the
court of sessions at Albany upon the
ground that there is no basis for the
criminal charge brought against him.
To be sure his mugwump prosecutors
have attained their object, the election
of Cleveland, and do not now care what
becomes of Peck or his report; but
that report remains as true and force
full an argument against the democratic
calamity policy as it was the day it was
issued.

For nearly 20 years New York has not
cast its vote in favor of the same party
in two successive federal elections. The
state has oscllated to and fro in eight
elections. In 1864 it went Republican;
in 1868 Democratic; 1872 Republican;
1876 Democratic; 1880 Republican; 1884
Democratic; 1888 Republican; 1892
Democratic. If these alterations hold
good the state will go Republican in
1896, hence it may be good politics on
the party of the Democracy TO give the
west chance for first place at the next
national convention Detroit NeUs.

Snap Shots.

Even the south now wants time to
prepare for the coming storm of its own
raising
The real campaign of education will
be held during the next four years, with
copious illustrations.
Making promiscuous and conflicting
promises right and left is one thing;
trying to keep them is another. This
is the SOLDERING consideration which now
forces itself upon the democrat party.
The democrat idea appears to be that
the destruction of protection will be a
heavy blow to the country's industries,
but if it is done little at time the
country won't realize so soon what it is
suffering.
The biggest bunco game on record
was that played by the Democrat party
on the people when the latter were
promised complete change in the
tariff policy and the consequent enrich
ment of the workers.
1t will be pretty hard to convince
President Harrison and the Republican
senate that it is their duty to relieve the
next administration and Congress of
the responsibility of tinkering with the
tariff.
The Democrat party finds the country
in the same condition that physicians
sometimes receives patients. 1t is

tariff stimulants, and will have To be let

now SHE EARNED HER CAR FARE.
A WOman's Ingenious Device for Making
Money When She Was Hard Up.

A WOman's Ingenious Device for Making
Money When She Was Hard UP.
A woman who is now one of the most
promising artists in this city, and was
lucky enough to get two of her pictures
accepted by the Academy, told this story
of how she earned her first few pennies
in this big town:
"When l came here five years ago
had just twenty-five dollars in my pock-
ct. l got room-or rather cubby
hole next to the roof-in a boarding
house on Fourth avenue. 1t was three
weeks before got anything to do. Then
a place was offered to me as a primary
teacher in a private school. The salary
when you got it was fair enough in
amount. But unfortunately you didn't
get it until the end of the month.
'By this time there was such tre-
mendous hole in my twenty-five dollars
that couldn't afford to move up town.
The expressage alone would have made
a bankrupt of me, for had absolutely
some to such pass that hadn't enough
money to pay my car fare to the school
and back. explained the situation to
the landlady. She really was dear old
thing. She told me | wasn't to worry
about my board bill. She was perfectly
willing to wait for her money until the
end of the month.
"That was one weight off my mind
of course, but had still to grapple with
the car fare problem. | was in dread
full pickle really. For four days
walked every inch of the way-414 miles
each journey. used to leave the house
at z in the morning so as to reach the
school promptly at 8.
'Then found that my French heels
were beginning to give out, so | saw
that my efforts to save money by pedes-
trianism would only get me into deeper
water. Suddenly had an inspiration.
"There were three old maiden sisters
who occupied the double bedded room
on the second floor. They were with
out exception the latest women ever
saw. The most ETHEREAL of the three
weighed 300 if she weighed pound.
They were all saleswomen in one of the
big Sixth avenue stores. They used to
scramble down to breakfast in the morn
ing in a fiuster at the last moment.
Zone of them confided to me that it
was their shoes which always delayed
them. They almost expired every morn
ing in their attempts to button them.
She told me in a tone Of the utmost
resignation that eventually she expected
their shoes would be the death of all
three of them. Well, what do you sup
pose did? took that woman aside
and said to her: Now look here, I'll
make bargain with you. I want to
make little extra money just now, for
l am dreadfully hard up. If you and
your two sisters will each pay me
twenty cents week Ill come and but
ton your shoes for you every morning.
1.-THE poor old things fairly jumped at
the offer. They insisted ON paying my
first weeks salary-sixty cents-in adj
vance. 1t left me ten cents to the good
you see. because on Saturday there was
no school After the first week they in
sisted on raising my salary TO an even
quarter from each. Well. | buttoned
their shoes regularly for two months.
Then | had TO resign my position. as |
was moving to boarding house nm
town.

the Jerusalem terminus of the road
was decorated with palms, and when
the Mohammedan priest had offered
prayer, three sheep, with snowwhite

were left upon the tracks until the
blood ran from their veins and redden-
