TIE ROMAN CAAENDS.

In the earliest calendars Of the
Jewish nation. as well us in those Of
the Egytians. Greeks and Romans.
no mention is made of the first of
January. The year did not begin
with that month. but with March {;
but when Numr Pompilius became
emperor he added January and Feb
rurry. The FIRST month he named
in honor of the god janus. the deity
who was supposed to preside over
doors and gates. and might he
inferred to have something to do
with the opening of the year. The
Romans dedicated the whole month
to their god because at that time
the husblndmen in southern Italy
began their laLors in the fields and
vineyards. The emperor also
dccreed that henccforth the first
day. or the " Galcnds" of January.
should be celebrated us New Years
day. Erchahge.

Where They Shine.

The English can learn a very great
deal from us, but they are "chalks
above us, to quote one of their own
odd phrases, in lighting pipes and cigars
III the open air. They do not rush into
Railways or corners, nor do they re-
move their hats for this purpose. With
the pipe in the mouth they hold the
Matchbox in the left hand, and after
striking, with the match held between
the finger and thumb OF the right
hand, they form a sort Of nearly circu-
lar scoop with both hands, which pro-
tects the flame from even fierce wind.
They perform this little feat with re-
markable dexterity, not merely while
walking in the street, but on the deck
of a steamboat or on top of flying
bus. They will sometimes strike two
matches at once mot fusees) the better
to hold the flame.
1t is a custom learned from the ''nav-
vies" (Anglice, navigators), the COM
monest English laborers. One swell
will ask another. Can you do the
NAVY trick ?" Better than that" he
will answer if he is unusually skillIul in
the art, 81 can light my pipe with one
hand" and he suits the action to the
word. 1t is neat bit of work, and one
that is worth trying by young Anglo
maniacs. By the way, the pipe has
become actually fashionable in Eu-
gland, and is used by portly bankers,
by sedate judges, and by eminent soli-
citors. They use the pipe at home, in
railway carriages and on the bus, but
not on the promenade.

Rapid Growth of Coal Output.

The English people look with envy
at the remarkable growth OF the coal
output of this country. A comparison
of the number of square miles of coal
area discovered in .he two countries
gives the United States $4,000, while
England has 900 and Nova Scotia
$4,000. In 1860 the United States mined
1883, $50 tons OF anthracite coal and in
1890 10, ,544.9T0 tons. The showing Tor
bituminous coal for the same years
gives for 1860 5,775,070 tons and for 1890
81, ,496, ,000.-Nelc York Times.

Ford and AlIeman.

The arrest, by Gen. Carnes, of Geo.
w. Ford, Commissioner of Labor and
Inspector of Mines, was very proper
action. The evidence appears to be
strong that this official has been aid
ing and abetting the lawless miners in
their movement to overthrow State au-
thority and drive the guards and con-
victs from the branch prisons. He
has been susL ected of similar designs
ever since the people OF the State were
surprised by his appointment to the
important Office which he holds, and
the evidence pointing to his CONN.,
vance at and encouragement of the
mining troubles is said to fully justify
Gen. Carnes' action in ordering his ar
rest.
If Mr.. Ford is guilty of the treach-
cry to the State and the prostitution
of his office, of which he is suspected
his crime is one of the gravest that
can be found in the catalogue. o.
course, there should be very thor
ough and an entirely fair investiga
ton. If he can prove his innocence
of all completely with lawlessness, vel
and good, but if he be found guilty
his punishment should be the sever
est allowed by the law.
1t is understood that an order was
also issued by Gen. Carnes for the ar
rest of Mr.. Alleman, Mr.. Ford's assis
tant. Serious charges were brought
against this man in the Legislature
last year, but that lamentable BODY
failed to make proper Investigation
as it avoided other Investigations, anC
a man who is evidently unfit for tn,
responsible place he holds is allowed
to continue in office. There shoulC
be q thorough examination into tn
work of Ford and Alleman, with 1
view of discovering whether they hav
been treacherously undermining tn
law and using their official and pei
sonal influence to incite sedition ant
rebellion.-Nashville Banner.

THE TRUE FAITH ExPOUNDED BY
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Never has great party, intent upon the pro-
motion of light and justice, had better incentive
for effort than is now presented tous, Turning
our ey es to the plain people of the land, we see
hem burdened as consumers with tariff sys-
tenn that unjustly and relentlessly demands from
them, in the purchase of the necessaries and
comforts OF life, an amount scarcely met by the
wages of hard and steady toll, while the exac-
lions th wrung from them build up and in
crease fortunes OF those for whose benefit
the injustice is perpetuated,
We see the farmer listening to delusive story
that fills his mind with advantage, while his
pocket is robbed by the stealthy hand of high
protection. Our workingmen are still told the
tale, oft repeated in spite of its demonstrated
falsity, that the existing protective tariff is 8
boon to them, and that under its benefcent OPP
Grafton their wages must Unreasonable as
they listen scenes are enacted in the very abid
ing place of high protection, that mock the
hopes OF toll and attest the tender mercy the
workingman receives from those made selfish
and sordid by unjust governmental favoIs.
We oppose earnestly and stubbornly the the
DRY upon which our opponents seek to justify
and uphold tariff laws.-Speech accepting Dem
