Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama is a man of
little wisdom. To give national pub
licity to the vicious assaults which the
Populists are making upon the Democ-
racy in the South at the moment when
the Democrats of the silver States are
disgruntled, and the Democracy of New
York is rent by the snapper-anti-snap-
per feud was poor policy. The ex-
tracts read by him in the House yester-
day from the campaign book Of Mr..
Watson of Georgia are, nevertheless, in
teresting reading. Mr.. Watson is the
leader Of the Georgia Populists, and Mr..
Wheeler, ia a fit Of natural but impoli-
tic irritation, has spread it broadcast
over the country that Southerners are
being told that the Congress now sitting
is an illustration of general Democratic
worthlessness.

not reformed. Pledged to economy,

THE "JOURNAL."

The campaign of deceit upon which
the PROVIDENCE Journal has entered is
one so abhorrent to every principle of
truth and political fair dealing that it
must earn for the paper which was
once called the "bible of RHODE
ISLAND" the scorn and contempt of hon
est, intelligent readers.
There was a time, under the editor
ship of Danielson--a man who ranks
with Greeley, Raymond and Bennett, as
one of the great editors of the country
there was time when the PROVIDENCE
Journal was an honest partisan sheet,
giving and taking fair blows in every
battle. 1t was so ably and so skilfully
conducted that an editor away down in
Maine used to say to his assistant when
going out of town, elf there's any sub
ject you're not quite sure about. follow

but beneath contempt as a leader of
opinion; abusing where it should COM
mend, holding all that is home and
homely in contempt where it should
glow with pride, snealSing its devious
paths toward ill-won triumphs where it
should fight fairly in the open.
Political history does not contain the
record Of a more dastardly attempt than
that of the Journal to wheedle and de-
ceive protection Democrats into stand
ing firm for free-trade ticket by the
plea that it does not mean free trade.
This is strong language, but we stand
by it. Every word
There have been hypocrites before who
have said Don't be afraid. Tariff reform
is not free trade" 1t was reserved for
the Journal to accomplish compound
fracture of truth and honor. This it
does when, weeping crocodile tears with
a visible effort, ii peeps out TO observe
the effect, and means: "Oh, dear; I'm
a consistent free trader, but the world
is weary one this year. OF course, the
Democrats put into their platform the
strongest free trade plank since the con-
federacy. OF course, the Democratic
party party passed the Mills bill and the
Morrison bill and the Springer bills, but
I'm so afraid it doesn't mean one single
word it says. The Democrats are just
as bad as the Republicans. Free trade

II is a lie. The language is unparlia-

this consummate hypocrisy? How
characterize it without passing the
bounds which usually righteous Gus

two, in falsifying. BY expressing dis
satisfaction with Democracy from n free
trade standpoint, IL wishes TO encourage

Senator John q. Carlisle Of Kentucky,
a member Of the Aldrich committee on
the effect Of the Mckinley bill, rose in
his place yesterday to explain away the
effect of the unanimous report Of that
committee, which has already operated
so disastrously to Democratic claims and
professions.
Mr.. Carlisle admitted that on single
day-after the passage of the Mckinley
act, and during the period covered by
the investigation-the retail price of
el5 articles embraced in that list given
by the committee (taking them alto
gether and giving to each one the same
importance) were 64-1O0 of per cent.
lower than they had been at the begin
ming Of the period and that on single
day (Which was the last day included in
the investigation the cost Of living in
the United States Gncluding renD had
fallen A-100 of per cent. from the
rate prevailing at the beginning Of the
investigation.
In endeavoring to explain away this
admission he said that no just conclu-
sion could be drawn from scale of
prices prevailing on a single day. This
is absurd. The conclusion drawn is
that, on that day, which was presum-
ably pretty much like other days in the
same month, prices actually were lower.
And this Mr.. Carlisle cannot deny. In
fact he admits it.
A more specious argument is that the
committee took no note of the proper
tions in which the different articles
enters into the cost of living but placed
them all-those largely consumed and
those for which there is little demand
on the same plane. This is legitimate
objection to the exact value Of the re-
port. 1t can only be urged, in reply to
Mr.. Carlisle, that to make such detailed
examination would have been a task
Of enormous magnitude, even il the
same articles were used by different
families in the same proportions. If,
however, such an examination could be
made the result would be even more
disastrous for Mr.. Carlisle's party. For,
in the study Of proportions, it would be
found that the single article Of sugar is
s. cheaper per family than two years
ago. What shall we put against this
as having increased in price? Tin plate
and pearl buttons Clothing and car
pets are as cheap or cheaper. Wheat
and wheat flour alone Of the greater
necessities of life are higher in price.
But the American farmer gets the differ
ence.
As II realizing the weakness of his
case Mr.. Carlisle hurried from generali-
ties which do not glitter to particular
case, that of tin plate, making the as
tonishing assertion that the Mckinley
law had proved bonanza to the Welsh
tin plate makers. Everyone who reads
the cable dispatches knows that in this
remark Mr.. Carlisle left the doubtful
field of misrepresentation and evasion
for bold misstatement.
The speech was very weak perform
ance. But as Mr.. Carlisle is a very able
man the trouble must be with the facts.

A Bold Young Pirate.

He had the air of man Of the world.
His dress was becoming and not too
snowy. He seemed to be an individual
who had dined we'll, who would tell
good stories at the club.
Stretched out in the BARRIERS chair in
the hairdresser's room on School Street,
instead of settling down with that indif-
ferent, self-satisfed air that usually
comes over man in that position, he
seemed troubled. He looked about
from chair to chair, yet he was not hap
py. The barber shaved him. ard was
so impressed that he even forgot to talk
him to death. Then the man sat bolt
upright in the chair and took an envel-
ope from his pocket. 1t was scented
the barber could tell that. 1t was writ
ten in lady's hand, too.
The strange man opened it, took out q
note, read it over and over again, then
from it's folds withdrew lock Of hair.
1t was golden, and the victims who were
waiting for their turn in the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back
in the envelope.
"Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he
rubbed the tufts of hair which surround
ed bald spot on the strange mans
head.
NO, no, uOG ZOE VIC WOIIO, uo IT,
piled. Il cannot spare any"
"Man in the next chair has hair like
yours, only little more Off," suggest
ed the barber.
"By Jove, he has," said the troubled
man, and he darted out Of his seat and
almost jumped to the occupant of the
next chair.
"Going to have hair cut ?" asked the
strange man.
"No." was the rather curt reply.
"Well, will you have hair cut at my
expense?" said the man. without hest
tation. II must send my best girl a
lock of hair. and / can't spare mine.
Come. how much is it WORTH" and
the eyes of the colored boy who
brushes coats bulged out beyond his
forehead.
ssSell it for small bottle ~ replied
the man with good growth OH his
head, and the stranger answered.: I'll
goyou.
The barber began his work and lock
of the mans hair was handed over
to the stranger, who put 1t in little
silver locket that bore monogram.
Then, when the work was finished, the
two walked out together.
The stranger was smiling contented-
w. the club man grinned, the barber
laughed and the customers gaZed on in
astonishment.
"Wasn't Charley dear, good fello "
to keep his promise and send me lock
of his hair?' said the pretty girl that
night as she took the daintiest sort of g
locket from little box. And all was
still but the beating of her faithful
heart.-Bostoas Herald.

Death from Overwork.

The familiar story of the breakdown
OF a brilliant intellect under too great a
strain is told once more in the case Of
DR.. Roberts Bartholow, until recently
professor of materia medica and the
rapeutics in the Jefferson Medical Col
lege, of Philadelphia. DR.. Bartholow
was eminent as practicing physician,
as an instructor and lecturer, and as
writer on medical subjects. To each of
these three departments of activity he
devoted energy and effort enough to
have made him famous, had that alone
been the work OF his life. It has been
said OF him that no man in the profess
sion ever wrote so industriously and at
the same attended to so large practice
lie went crazy, and is now under re-
straint in the Pennsylvania hospital for
the insane.
The usual and indeed the convention
al comment npon such a case is that
the result was to be expected. In
stances where too Jealous devotion to
a congenial line of intellectual labor has
sent men to the lunatic ward, or to the
grave, are within the experience or
recollection of almost anyone who gives
the matter thought. And yet cases
Of the sort bear so small ratio to the
total OF asslduous or even excessive
mental exertion that it would seem
that the risk of insanity or death di-
rectly from mental overwork is about
the same as the danger of death by
railway travel or by crossing lower
Broadway when the street is crowded.
The temptation to generalize upon q
case like Dr.. Bartholow's is strong,
comments writer in Frank Leslie's
Weekly. On the other hand, instanc-
es Of phenomenal health and perfect
sanity accompanying habits Of intense
and diversified mental application are
quite as common as those which we are
considering. Mr.. Gladstone is an ex-
ample, and we could name half doz-
en- eminent gentlemen on this side of
the Atlantic who are working as hard
in their way as DR.. Bartholow worked
in his, and who would be much more
in danger of the madhouse if they
lessened their intellectual activity than
If they maintained it at a habitual
pressure.
Another commonplace Of the subject
is that it is not the overwork but the ov-
erWorry that kills. This is meaningless
Wherever the heart and the intellectu-
al interest are engaged in mental und-
ertaking Of severe and protracted char
acter, the IVORY" goes with the work
and is nseparable from it; and by wor-
ry is meant nothing more nor less than
the nervous super which is
the stimulus of effort, and which makes
endeavor effective. The work that
kills, the worry that unseats the reason,
are work and worry expended unwill-
ingly, fruitlessly, hopelessly. This is
the rule; cases like DR.. Bartholow's are
the exception.
More people need the spur OF an ex-
ing of fate like that Of the Philadel-
phia professor. OverWork does some
times kill, but it has been accused un-
Justly of ten murders for everyone that
it has in fact committed.
