IN speech in Philadelphia last night
Senator Aldrich said that "no bargain
was made; the manufacturers were not
consulted about the Mckinley bill "
Those statements are remarkable, very
remarkable, in fact they are intensely re
maIkable They are not funny either;
they are serious Judge Lawrence, the
celebrated shepherd of Ohio. has de-
clared that he wrote the wool schedule /;
Mr. Whitfield. of the Arlington cotton
mills of Massachusetts, has declared
that he wrote the cotton schedule; II. W.
Oliver. of Pittsburg, a millionaire wire
manufacturer, after spending much time
for several weeks in the committee room,
returned home declaring that the metal
schedule was perfectly satisfactory
to the iron and steel men, There are
three instances that we recall at a
moments notice to contradict the re-
marSable whopper Of Senator Aldrich,
which is another indication Of the eHi-
gency Of the situation Of the party he
is trying TO save.

Federal Constitution were largely in
strumental in securing the passage of
the first protective tariff act. That law,
passed in 1889, was recommended by
President Washington, one of the thirty
nine signers of the Constitution, and
the President of the Constitutional Con-
yention. The act was not only recon-
mended by Washington, but he signed
il and made it law. When the bill
was before Congress it was warmly
supported by James Madison, also one
of the signers OF the Constitution, and
it received the vot S of fifteen other
men whose names were attached to that
document as follows: John LangdOn,
Nicholas Gilman, William ;. Johnson,
Roger Sherman, Robert Morris, Thomas
FitZsimons, William Few, Abraham
Baldwin. Rufus King, William Paterson,
George Clymer. Richard Bassett, George
Reed, Pierce Butler, and David Carroll
In that list are included the names of
Roger Sherman and William ). johnson.
two of the most eminent lawyers of
their day. Does anybody in the pos
session of his senses suppose that such
men would help to frame an organic
law for great republic, and then stultify
themselves by voting, within two years,
to violate one of the most vital pro-
visions? OF course not. The rights of
the Federal Government to levy pro-
tective duties has never been denied,
and it would not be denied could the
Democrats find less bungling way in
which to declare for free trade.

HELPING THE FARMER.

Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegram.
The complaints we used TO hear, that
the United States Government does
nothing for the farmer, have no longer
any basis of fact.
An able article in the July issue OF
the Century shows that the agricultural
interests of the country are not being
neglected at Washington.
Among the most important acts OF
Congress touching the welfare of the
farmer are those which provide for the
establishment of institutions of learning
which are to give special attention to
agriculture and the sciences related to
it; for the maintenance of agricultural
experiment stations which are devoted
to the scientific investigation of agcrcul-
tural problems, and for the elevation of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to Cabinet department. These
three educational agencies, the colleges,
the stations and the department, are the
most important ones now at work for
the betterment of agricultural matters,
for nothing can benefit the farmer so
much as knowledge of the best meth
DDS of farming for the region in which
he may live.
The work of the Weather Bureau is
being made more valuable to the farmer,
and plans now under consideration at
the Agricultural Department promise to
make the work of that Bureau of still
more service.
Among the other important problems
which the Weather Bureau will study or
which it will perhaps assist the agricul-
tural stations in studying are, for in
stance. the meteorological conditions
most favorable to the growth of indi
vidual plants. 1t has been found that
the cotton plant requires in the earlier
part of its growth plenty of warmth and
moistere to dexelop stem and foliage,
while in the latter period of growth less
moisture is desirable in order to favor
full and early development of seed and
lint. The meteorological conditions of
South Carolina are generally favorable,
but the right cultivation of the soil is
necessary. OF late years the improve
ments in the regulation of the moisture
by the Management of the soil are note
worthy. Sea-island cotton is famous
for its quality, and brings high price,
yet some years ago.it was thought that
the culture of this cotton must be aban-
doned, even on the sea-islands, largely
because its season of growth, which was
sollong as to orender it liable to be caught
by frOsts, made the crop very uncertain.
Improved methods of culture have, how
ever. materially hastened the maturity
of the plant, and brought it well within
the length of the season. Similar de-
examinations of meteorological require
ments should be made for other staple
crops.
Studies should also be made of the
way in which plants are affected by re-
moyal from one climate to another. We
know that an apple which is successful
in New York may be an entire failure
in Virginia, but we know little of the
laws which govern the adaptability of
plants to climates. Still other problems
are connected with forests, soils. and
movement of water in the soil, and the
effect of climatic conditions on inesct
and other pests.

Falling from q Great Height.

It will be remembered. that Mr..
Whymper, who had severe succession
of falls once ia the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatically
that as he bounded from one rock to an.
other he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield;
the entrance of the bullet into the body
is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by fall do not know which limb
is broken till they try to rise. At the
moment of fall the whole intellectual
activity is il 'eased to an extraordinary
degree. There is not trace of anxiety.
One considers quickly what will happen.
This is by no means the consequence of
presence of mind" it is rather the
product of absolute necessity. A solemn
composure takes possession of the VIC
tim. Death by fall is beautiful one.
Great thoughts fill she victims soul;
they fall painlessly into great blue sky

RULES FOR PICNICS.

Boston Transcript
There are certain principles of con-
duct with regard to picnics which it is
well to observe For one thing, never
go early 10 picnic. you go early you
will have to carry tubs containing ice
cream freezers packed in ice, pals OF
water, rugs and garden seats, and per
form a great many other laborious tasks
A picnic is good deal like coasting
except that it is the other way around
the hard work comes before the fun in.
stead of after it. When picnic is oyel
and most of the things are eaten up il
is not much work to sweep dishes to-
gether and carry them away. But the
getting of them there is terrible. So ii
is point of reasonable conduct to come
a little late. Another point is to de-
cline nothing that offers in the way OF
food. Don't refuse rolls on the expecta-
ton of getting sandwiches, because you
may not get the sandwiches. Keep the
rolls;y needn't eat them if you get the
sandwiches. Another point-avoid con-
flicting confusions upon your next
neighbor by grabbing wildly at the OIL
i've dish. If you do thus grab for it he
is likely to do the same thing at the
same moment. Cruel bodily injuries
have resulted from this course of action.
The danger arises from the fact that
olives are the staff of life at picnics.
Gentlemen in waiting upon ladies,
should occasionally furtively bolt a
sandwich as matter of provision, since
the eatables may all be consumed or the
inevitable rainstorm come up before the
ladies are fully waited upon. Anyone
can get through a picnic day safely and
comfortably without ice cream, maca-
rooms, frosted cake or other delicacies;
but sustenance of some sort he must
have. For this reason, as one passes
behind tree in the course of his admi-
rable struggle to see that the ladies have
everything, he should rapidly swallow a
sandwich. With attention to few pru-
dent details such as these, picnics may
be deprived of fully third of their
terrors

A City Marshal Abroad.

One of the city marshals who took a
vacation recently and went to France
found what big man a marshal over
there is and how much a marshal's S
badge amounts to. He started to 90 to
several places of public interest in Paris
at an hour when they We're not open to
the public. At the entrance he was
stopped and told that the places were
closed. He said that he was an Ameri-
can and had only short time to stay in
Paris, and that if he could not get in
then it would be too late. That made
no difference until he happened to put
his hand in his trousers pocket for some
change with which to try to bribe the
attendant. His coat was unbuttoned,
and his arm pulling back the lapel
showed his big city marshal's badge in
blue, gold and gilt, with the word "Mar-
shall on it big enough to be read ten
feet away. AS soon as the Frenchman
saw the word marshal he became obse-
quious. The American marshal, as the
city marshal became known, was shown
around with great deal of considera-
ton, and the Frenchman declined to ac-
cept fee.-New York Sun.

A BIT OF GOLD.

San Francisco Examiner.
Frontier highwaymen would have had
a hard time wrestling with bit of gold
which arrived here by the Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S Express, a few days ago. 1t
came from the celebrated Harqua Hala
mine and was consigned to ]. Hubbard
and J. B. Bowers, the owners of the
property, for coming at the United
States Mint.
When the employees of the Mint took
a look at it they were astonished. The
reason was that it was the biggest lump
of gold they had had the unhappiness
to come in contact with, seeing that it
was in one respect like many others, be-
ing not their own.
1t was of somewhat conical shape
and seemed to have been emptied out
of gigantic Stag pot. 1t did not belle
its looks, for that was the way it had
been shaped. 1t was the product of As
days run at the Harqua Hala, and the
tremendous bulk weighed 357a pounds
avoirdupois and was stated to be of the
value of $4,000.
The thoughtful representatives of the
owners of the big nugget telegraphed
from point to point as they progressed
with it from the mine, 60 miles south
west of Phoenix, and announced when
it should arrive at the next station. This
was in order to forestall any ambitious
men with guns, for though- aspiring
highwaymen were thus kept exactly
posted as to when the gold might be ex-
pected, it also posted the people in each
town.
The nugget was too big for any party
of bandits to carry it off intact and Sc
crete, and had they stopped the caravan
on the way to the railroad they would
have only had time to chisel off thous-
and dollars or so till the pack of blood
hounds which the prison officials keep at
Phoenix would have been on their trail.
Nobody molested it, therefore, and it
reached here safely. The ponderous yel
low cone has attracted much attention,

Photographing in CoIors.

What Il wonderful thing this new dis
covery in photography is, which has
been made by the French savant, DR..
Lippman. 1t was announced some time
ago that he had found a process by
which he could photograph the colors OF
the spectrum and now he gives to the
world the views of his ability to pho
tograph bed of flowers or any COM
bination of cOlOrs. 1t seems incredible
at first glance and yet the color waves
which produce this result are as tangible
and efficient as agents as the waves of
sound which make the telephone a COM
mercial success.
