And There Was Linht.

The electric light for tho streets has
como at last, and Wheeling at night is
now fair enough to look upon. The
new light adds to the comfort and the
security OF the people. 1t is an effective
addition to the police force. The crime
that seeks the darkness will in vain
seek it in some Of its old haunts.
y certain tendency OF human nature
is illustrated by the comment frequent
ly heard since the light was turned on
there should be more lamps. The
improvement is SO marked that the
people would like to have moro OF it.
In time there will be more lamps.
Civilized communities are reaching a
point where they will have as little
difference as possible between day and
night,

A Pathetic Scene.

1t was only a sparrow, but the
sight of it, crouching timldly in
the judges shcltering hand, awakened
tender interest. 1t had such
a mild, melting little eye, and it regarded
those around with such trusting glance,
that l really felt sympaty for it
awakened within me. The Judges
daughter took the little creature in her
white and jeweled hands, and was softly
smoothing down its feathers as she
leaned forward to the CRATE in which a
hot bed of Goals was smoldering. The
bird saw an opening under the CRATE, and
as the caressing hand was raised flew out
and lodged itself Immediately underneath
the bed of red hot Goals. The small
party of lookers-on stood aghast with as
much horror as if it had been a child.
Then there was united effort to save the
life of the little sparrow, but it was too
late The drnugnt had drawn it up into
the fire, and it had suffered but a mo-
Inent. A silence fell on the groap of
observers that was only broken when a
shining tear was brushed from beneath
each eye.-Atlanta (Ga.) Journal

What Everybody Says Must BE True.

For over forty years there has been no dis
senting voice during that period. DIR. Tobias's
Venetian Liniment has been warranted as
the money would be refund ed. Such de-
mand has never been made, simply because
the millions who have used it and continue
TO do so find that it is far above price-really
to them worth its weight in gold.
This liniment has, indeed, accomplished the
most wonderful cures as the certificates show,
and can be seen at the Depot, 40 Murray St..
New York. Pain yields Immediately to its
conquering power--it has no choice. Being
clean to use, possessing no disagreeable odor,
has combined with its true merit to make DR..
Tobas's Venetian Lniment the favorite pain
believer that it is to-day.

Always on Time.

Washington had many admirable
traits worthy of imitation, and one of
them was rigid punctuality. This was
well illustrated by an incident during
his visit to Boston, Mass, one hundred
years ago. Having appointed eight o'clock
in the morning as the hour at which he
should set out for Salem, he mounted
his horse just as the Old South clock was
striking that hour. The company of
cavalry which was to escort him did not
arrive till after his departure, and did
not overtake him till he reached Charles
River Bridge.-New York Observer.

ANOTHER M'KINLEY MIRACLE.
How the Mckinley Law Employed 400
LabOrers Without Raising the Duty.

How the IscKinIey Law Employed 1000
Laborers Without Raising the Duty.
The following letter was sent to the
New York Press by a manufacturer who
came over to this country from London
some years ago to reap portion OF the
tariff spoils:
SIR-By the inclosed pamphlet you may
learn something of the effect Of the Mckinley
tariff law on the down quilt business. Three
years ago down quilts were a luxury. Ninety
eight per cent. were manufactured in England
for us. There are now in America six factories,
creating employment for 1900 people. The
average price of a down quilt Of the cheapest
kind was twelve dollars. 1t Is now six dollars
The average price of one of the finer grade was
thirty dollars, and Is now seventeen dollars. We
take orders now for LOCO quilts from concerns
who two years ago gave orders for twenty. 1t
should be added that the designs and colorings
are more suitable for this country than the
English ones. A. ]. MCINTOSH.
Commenting upon this letter The
Press said editorially:
"The Mckinley tariff made the profit
able manufacture of down quilts posi-
BILE in the United States. Previous to
its enactment down quilts were luxury
used only by people who had plenty of
money. Ninety-eight per cent. Of these
goods were imported from England.
Only one small factory for their manu-
facture existed in the United States.
Today there are six American down
quilt factories doing a prosperous bust
ness"
To get at the truth in this case a re-
porter took a copy of The Press to Mr..
E. FL. Merrill, who has charge Of the
down quilt business for the great whole
sale house of Arnold, Constable & Co.,
New York. Although Mr.. Merrill is a
good Republican his Indignation rose as
he read McIptosh's letter, and when he
had finished it he exclaimed with en-
ergy:
cts monstrous lie! The whole thing
is rot! Well, I'm a good Republican,
but must say that our fellows can beat
the Democrats lying this year." Mr..
Merrill went on to say that Mcintosh
had called on Arnold, Constable & Co.
to offer them some of his down quilts;
"but," said Mr.. Merrill, "we could not
handle his stuff"
But if The Press had taken the trouble
to examine the "Comparison Of the Gus
toms Law Of 1883 with the New Law of
$780," prepared under the direction Of
the committee of finance, United States
senate" it would never have been led
into indorsing McIntoshs silly lie.
That comparison" gives manufacture
ers Of down at so per cent. in both laws!
Thus the Mckinley law employs 1000
laborers without the slightest change of
duty!
Alas for the Republican editor who
assumes that all blessings flow from the
Mckinley law, and who is too lazy to
open his books!
