Experience is dear school, but
fools learn IN no other" This might
better have been sad: Experience IS
dear school. but intelligence learns
therein. while in no school can the fool
learn his folly" The truth of this Is
exemphfied by the Boston marble
workers who nsbitusIly vote the demo-
cratic ticket. To urge that these free
trade laborcrs should be punished by
giving them hellyful of free trade IS
ridiculous. While the folly of these
marble workers is exaepcrating, il
would be equally IA great folly to abet
them in their foolish notions and cruel
to punish them with free trade and un-
protected competition with European
cheap labor products. They are fools
who viii not learn, even experience
could teach them nothing. Therefore
tbey should not be allowed freedom to
Inlure themselves. IL through force
of numbers they should succeed in
bringing upon themselves the bIightinx
influence OF competition which would
take bread from their mouths. they
would only Inveigh the louder ssainst
a government whose protecting care
they are Incapable Of spprecishng. IL
would mot cure them Of their folly.
They are possessed of sn instinct which
may feel the psngs OF hunger, but does
not approach near enough to reason TO
point the difference between wisdom
and folly.

He Is . Californian and So Was His
Chief Competitor.
President Harrison's appointment OF
Frank l.. Coombs az minister to japan
to succeed the late John +. Swift is be-
lieved by close observers to be a conces-
sion to the apparently valid claim that
the people of the Pacific coast are more
in touch with the affairs of China and
Japan than are the residents Of the east
ern states.
The new minister is representative
of the younger school Of politicians. He
was born thirty-eiAht years ago in
Napa, California. and has always made
that place his home. Napa. By the way,
is also the home Of the Hon. II. NJ.
Estee. He was educated in the public
schools, and his record as pupil was
highly creditable. Long before most
boys begin to think of thcir future
career, young Coombs had decided that
he would be lawyer. AS a means to
that end be went TO New York and en-
tered the law department OF Columbia
college, whence he was graduated with
honor in due season.
He Immediately began TO practice in
Napa, and displayed much ability.
When only twenty-five years of age me
was elected to the Office of district attor-
ney, and upon the expiration of his term
was chosen to succeed himself. Finding
that official duties wcrc seriously inter
feying with his practice he temporarily
retired from public life. But his neigh
bors wanted his services. and so in 1886
they sent him to the legislature. He was
returned in 1888 and again IN 1890. in
which latter year he was chosen speak
