the action of the Republican Senate in
passing the Stewart bill. The United
States Senate is not, and from its consti-
tuition cannot be, representative of the
people of the United States, and its MAJ
jority cannot be representative of the
will of the Republican party. The con-
stitution of the Senate is such that the
two Senators from Nevada, with scarcely
more population back of them than is in
cluded within the limits of the city of
Portland, weigh for as much as the two
Senators from New Y ork State, with the
millions of that imperial constituency
behind them.
In the House of Representatives, and
there alone may the tendencies OF
the two parties be gagged. 1t is true
that the Republicans are few in numbers
in the House; but it must be remem-
bered that large proportion of the anti
free coinage Democrats represent dis
tricts that formerly were represented by
Republicans, and will be again.

ewes and fair hair, and when they were
placed in row alongside their mother,
with their little heads nesting on a snow
white pillow, they made pretty picture.
1t was when the relatives and friends
Of the happy couple learned of the new
arrivals that the trouble began for Mr.;
Mckay Aunts, uncles, cousins, ana
other relatives and friends f1ocked to the
house, They all insisted on making the
personal acquaintance of each baby:
Soon all three were being passed to and
fro among their proud relatives. They
protested in unison against being taken
away from their mother, but to no pur-
pose. Their individual Identities were
lost in the happy confusion. Finally the
mother and nurse came to their rescue,
and all three babies again found rest
ing place close to their mothers side.
Then the mother and nurse were called
on to say which was which, but they,
too, disagreed, and Mrs. Mckay was so
vexed that she almost cried.
When Mr. Mckay was informed OF the
situation he resolved to knock Off work
and stay at home and try and keep the
relatives and friends of the babies IN
check. Since they had become so mixed
ND that no one knew which was which.
he resolved to rename them. According
ly, one was called Annie, for its mother,
and broad piece of brown ribbon was
tied around her little waist. Then a
piece of blue ribbon was tied around the
next. and she was called Rachel. The
name OF Leah was dropped, and the third
one was named Judith, and a yellow
ribbon will distinguish her from her
sisters.
The motherly nurse, in describing the
situation yesterday, said:
''Goodness me, don't know how it
all happened, but those babies were so
mixed up | couldn't tell which was
which. When l first saw them | thought
Rachaers head was little the largest OF
the three, and that Leah's face was round
and Annie's face long, but, dear me, now
they all look alike. Well, if the good
Lord spares them guess it won't make
much difference if they were mixed up.
| The trouble now is that visitors will pick
| them up and change them around, so
scarcely know which l have fed and
which haven't"
As a result of the mixing up all three
now start out on an equal footing, for
it will probably never be settled who is
the eldest and who is the youngest.
They are all doing nicely, and the neigh
borhood is proud of its acquisition. :

CURRENT COMMENT.
RESPECT FOR LAW.
IN. Y. Sun, (Dem.)1

Thousands of perfectly honest, up
right, and law-abiding people think that
a protective tariff is Objectionable on
economic principles, and inexpedient IN
practice.
These people have the right of arguing
against protection, and they constantly
exercise it, setting forth what they regard
as its faults and fallacies, and calling up
on their fellow citizens in Congress and
out of Congress to exert every legal
means in their power to put an end to a
system which they regard as injurious to
the best interests of the country.
This is one thing. 1t is peaceful and
proper course by which to obtain a
change in the tariff laws of the land; but
it is quite another thing to attack pro
lection not merely by argument and the
free and fair use of the ballot, but by the
unlawful employment of force and fire
arms. The latter course is simply revo-
lutionary
Throughout the world this republic
has long been conspicuous for the. re-
spect in which it's citizens hold the law.
The conservatism of Americans in obey
inc laws which are distasteful to a large
minority of the citizens, and in enforcing
such laws at all hazards, has excited the
surprise and admiration of intelligent
and able foreign critics for many years.
But lamentable change is coming over
our people in this respect, if we may
judge from the too prevalent readiness
to Justify the recent lawless outbreak at
Homestead on the ground that it is only
a natural and excusable retaliation for
the harm done to the workingmen by
the protective tariff. Can there be any
thing more monstrous than such teach
ings? If it is right to take possession of
property which does not belong to you,
and exclude the true owner as protest
against protective tariff, why would it
not be equally right to take possession OF
the national banks as a protest against
some banking law that happened to be
unpopular, or of the buildings and plant
of newspaper because it's teachings and
doctrines did not happen at that time to
accord with certain prevailing popular
notions.
There is is one kind of protection that
every honest man in this country is in
favor of, and that is the protection of the
property owner in the possession of his
property. The poor man cannot be Sc
cure in his cottage if the rich man is not
secure in his mansion or mandatory.
If the law will not protect the accumu-
lations of the rich, lt.cannot protect the
savings of the poor.

MIXED THOSE BABIES UP.
"And None Knew Which from T'other"
So MIR. Mckay Labelled Them.

William Mckay of 179 East Seventh
street, Long Island City. the father OF
three pretty baby girls, born on Sunday
afternoon, didn't go to work yesterday.
He stayed at home to try and prevent
his neighbors and friends from mixing
up the babies. They are as near alike as
three peas in a pod, SO when they were
born different colored ribbons were tied
around them, Mrs. Mckay thought it
would be a good idea to name them be-
fore they became mixed up, so the eldest
one was called Rachel She was about
five minutes older than the second, who
was named Leah, while the third was
named Annie.
Thus far the babies, the mother, the
doctor, and the nurse got along all
right. But the father is having, hard
time of it. All three babies have blue

The announcement that George Will
liam Curtis is ill with an incurable
disease has been received with gen.
eral regret AS an influence in political
affairs Mr.. Curtis has not been very potent
since he dropped out of the Republican
line in 1884; but as editor of Harper's
Weekly and Harper's Magazine he has
still kept in touch, if not wholly in sym
pathy, with thousands of readers in all
parts of the nation. His course in 1884
brought many sharp antagonisms; but
now that the hand of death is upon him
those animoslties will fade away amid
the remembrances of what he has been
to his party and to American literature.
The Editors Easy Chair of Harper S
Magazine has become an institution to
the readers of the great periodical. 1t
has included some of Mr.. Curtis's best
work, and recently it is said to have
been the only work which has received
his constant attention. The presiding
genius of the Easy Chair will be sadly
missed.

The Death of Mrs. Darltnx.

Some Of those who witnessed the accident on
the Georgetown and Tenleytown road Sunday
night, by which Mrs. Darling was killed, think
that the coroner's inquest did not bring out all
the testimony that should have been adduced.
Mr.. o. b. Lester, who was one OF these wit
nesses, has written a letter 10 the coroner to
that effect Mr.. Lester says that the names Of
twenty or thirty witnesses were taken at the
time of the accident, but very few Of them APP
peared at the inquest. He said that their testi-
mony would tend to show that the car wAs
crowded far beyond its proper capacity and
that the rate Of speed was much greater than
il should have been.
