TENNYsON.

Tennyson, whose death was announced
yesterday. has been justly described a.
beyond doubt tho most complete of the
poets of the Victorian age. He combined
melody. beauty Of description, culture and
intellectual power; he had sweetness and
strength in exquisite combination. Mr..
Justin Mccarthy. in his History of Our
Own Times" holds that ''if just bal
ance of poetic powers were to be the crown
OF poet, then undoubtedly Mr.. Tennyson
must be proclaimed tho greatest English
poet Of our time"
This judgment IL likely to stand. In
deed, the Victorian age includes no figures
that can dispute the claim of pre-cmi-
nence with Tennyson. Browning is placed
by narrow cult above Tennyson, but he

ENGLAND PRAYING FOR eLEvE
LAND.

The London Times of September says:
"No doubt We should all rejoice If Amer
lea abjured protection; no doubt We should
do so because We believe that great in
crease in our own trade would follow. It
is. as President Harrison sees it, q purely
selfish feeling on our part We heartily
wish America. would take to free tsade for
our own sakes."
The Westminster Review says: with
Mr.. Harrison again in the White House,
protection will be continued indefinitely;
with Mr.. Cleveland successful, the era of
free trade will at once begin" For En-
glish free traders who may object that Mr..
Cleveland has not come out tiat-fooEed, tho
Westminster Review has this reply: "Any
student of political economy knows that
the system Of free trade, a. enunciated by
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democracy, will,
soon after it is put into practice, lead to
the entire removal of the least vessige of
protection"

The Republicans of Pierce county have
met in convention and have nominated
county and legislative ticket. From
all accounts 1t is q good ticket. There is
certainly to be found upon it the names
of several gentlemen who are well known
as good citizens and men Of high charac-
ter, and it IL to be presumed that the
entire ticket is composed Of men who are
fit aspirants for the positions which they
seek.
The ticket Is entitled to tho support of
the Republicans Of Pierce county. It is q
Republican ticket. and the Republicans
should vote for II regardless of past fac
tional differences. The true Republican
supports the candidates who have been
fairly nominated BY Republican conven-
tion, and the Republican county ticket of
Pierce county is as fairly entitled to Re-
publican support IS the national ticket or
the state ticket.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that the Re-
publicans of Pierce county will roll up an
old-time majority for Harrison, McGraw
and the county ticket.

New York Herald.l
The trouble which occurred between Bar
bers Duddenhausen and Messerer at Man.
haitian Beach following the liberal $40
''tip" given by the irrepressible Count
Mitkiewicz to Messerer led to discussion
as to the amount of tips received by a
shaving expert in this city yesterday. There
were a good many yarns spun by chin scrap
ers as they worked over custom ers, and sew
eral of them said that there was nothing
remarkable in barber receiving $40
'fee.'
1t was admitted that such "fees" were
not unusual, but were more frequent than
many people imagined. The "tips," it was
said, varied from 10 cents upward. Barber
Messerer, of No. 421 Ninth avenue, who is
an authority on 'tips," said:

of the kind. His charge that I drank to ex-
cess is equally false and I shall probably
sue him for SANDER. Did 1 ever get $40
tip before? Many a time. When at the
Imperial Hotel in this city and at the Hol-
land House 1 often received big tips. sew
eral times as high as $40. Of course Gus
toner must be feeling pretty good before
he gives up $40 voluntarily, but some of
them do it if the barber is a good one and
does his work skillfully. Once at the I'M
perial received q $50 bill from liberal
customer. That's the biggest fee 1 ever
got, and probably is one of the biggest on
record -
