Everything is governed by natural
law. Free trade in farms and farm
products, against high protection to
manufacturing has produced very
uneven and unsatisfactory results
one has grown rich, while the other
has stood still or grown poor. I'm
der this system the millionaire and
tramp have appeared together-but
not hand in hand by any means.
They meet on the same street, but
do not walk arm in arm. One is
looking to get something; the other
to keep what he has and get more.
Monopoly has grown strong by pro.
lection, labor weak without it.
Abraham Lincoln said, a house di-
vided against itself cannot stand,
half slave and half free. Business
divided against itself cannot stand,
half protected and half unprotected

Ordering Eis Own Tombstone.

A countryman called ON sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered tombstone in the
shape of cross, and gave full instruc-
tions as to the lettering and the date Of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up--at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind. him of his
promise. The other day the man turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that a gypsy woman had told
him that he would die on the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without tho
date.-Deutsche Warte.

PLANT WIND BREAKS.
The wind which vieited this locality
yesterday. and the big blow of lsst year,
are teaching our fruit growers lesson
that was learned by the growers in the
Santa Ana vicinity q good while ago,
namely, to plant suitable wind break
with every orchard located in An
exposed position, as most of the foothill
orchards are.
In the vicinity OF Santa Ana the wind
is reported to have blown with much
more eeverity than in this section, with
lees damage, owing to the presence OF
suitable wind breaks. In this city little
damage was done, owing largely to the
same useful agency
Gum or eucalyptus are found by ex-
perience to be the best trees for this
purpose, and as they grow very rapidly
and are exceedingly hardy, they answer
the purpose in an admirable manner.

coveries in Astronomy. For the second: /:
Comets and Meteors and the Relation
Between Them will be discussed.
Prof. Barnard is one OF the foremost

A READING PEOPLE.

The News gave yesterday some figures
from the annual report of Labor Com
missioner Carroll ID. Wright, presenting
the average annual incomes and expendi-
lures per family in number of differ
ent industries in this country, Great
Britain and on the continent of Europe.
OF quite as much interest and signifi-
canoe are the statistics which compare
the reading habits of workingmen Of
various nationalities.
The average cost of books and news
papers for families engaged in the cot
ton industry in the United States is set
down by Commissioner Wright as $3.50
per year; in France, $3.79; in Germany,
$1.4S; in Great Britain, $3.50. For fam
lilies engaged in the weellen industry:
In the United States, $7.66; in France,
1888; in Germany. $1.87, and in Great
Britain, $647. For the families en-
gagged in the glass industry: In the
United States, $9.14; in Belgium, $3.50,
and in Great Britain, $3.44. This is a
reading nation, and its industrial pros
perity is promoted by its intelligence.
The record on amusements is not as
favorable to this country. The compar-
isons are as follows: For the families
in the United States in the cotton indus
try, the average cost was 1896; in
France, $16.02; in Germany, 1898, and
Great Britain, $500. The glass work
ers in this country, however, spent more
money than those of any other country
for amusement and vacation. In the
United States such expenses amounted
to $2s.66 per annum in Belgium, $11.40,
and in Great Britain, $22.56. Americans
are not yet fully educated up to the
gospel of play, but they are learning it
year by year.
1t will be seen, even from these brief
resumes, what an important and inter-
esting field of investigation lies before
Mr.. Willard l. Lansing, Rhode Islands
representative workingman.

LINCOLN FIELD.

The Providence Journal, which de-
lights in embracing every opportunity
to sneer ut churches, colleges and
schools. refers in the following extraor-
dinary terms to the Kingstown agricul-
tural school bill
The country members OF the Legisla-
ture appear to have an idea that Brown
University could not teach young men 10
he farmers, and therefore decline to vote
for the agricultural endowment of this
ancient seat OF learning. There should be
no more difficulty in learning to handle a
hoe than in welding baseball bat. Lin
coin Field would certainly look better IL
devoted TO horticultural experiments
than it does now as an amphitheatre.
The Journals new paragrapher must
have been very happy when he wrote
that, at enjoying such an opportunity to
kill two birds with one stone as il were
to have an opportunity within such
brief space to treat with brutal levity q
serious subject of local Importance, and
to cast slur upon Brown University
which, because it is an honored institu-
tion of Rhode Island, it loathes.
Lincoln Field might look better if laid
out in tulip beds and potato patches, but
there wouldn't be so much health in it.,
so much fun and so much education.
Now that it has. been definitely deter
mined that the best college athletes are
also above the average in their studies it
is q little late to sneer at college baseball

WOMEN AT BROWN.

The cordial cooperation with which
this years experiment at the university
is met must be source of pleasure and
encouragement to President Andrews
and his co-adjutors. The fine work
done in the freshman studies by the
young women, whose meeting place has
been the State Normal school, has de-
monstrated beyond doubt, what indeed
was certain beforehand, that the advan-
tages offered are appreciated, and that
most intelligent use is made of them.
Rhode Island women have been
prompt to express in substantial way
their qualification. The first project
considered by the recently y-organized
local branch of the Collegiate Alumn@
was the formation of loan library for
Browns girl students. This was fol-
lowed by the news that the Rhode ISL
and Woman's Club had voted to devote
the income from the Elizabeth X.
Churchill fund to the establishment of a
scholarship for young women at the col
lege, and now again the Women's Edu-
cational and Industrial Union has voted
to establish scholarship fund for the
same purpose.
The concessions made by Brown were
in accordance with the spirit Of the age.
and the event proves how gladly they
are received.

THE SENATOR FROM PROVIDENCE.
The citizens who have had the oppor-
tunity of watching in person the work
of the State Legislature during the past
few days will recall with keen sense
of regret the fact that the city of Provi-
dence will in a few days lose from the
Senate its present representative. 1t is
in no way in tone of disparagement to
many others who have conscientiously
performed their duties to thus call at
tention to the work of one who has not
=ealy fulfilled the exaeting requirements
of his Office but who has with unswerv-
ing fidelity assumed the burdens which
he might honorably have left to others.
When the election in November was
pending we took occasion to note that a
man of high legal attainments was
needed to fill the place left vacant by
Senator Douglas appointment to the
judgeship. Mr.. Woods was nominated
and elected, and the Legislative work Of
this session has proved that the people
in this case "builded more wisely than
they knew" Mr.. Woods had been in
the Legislature before, but few save his
intimate friends knew the qualities of
mind which fitted him so perfectly for
the work in hand. The present session has
brought into play elements of character
and ability which he was not generally
thought to possess. HIS reputation was
that of a man somewhat reserved be-
cause of his studious habits. The re-
serve is the exact truth. Senator Woods
has shown himself genial friend and as
approachable as any man in the State
House. His committee work has been
the most important, and as chairman of
the Judiciary committee he has attended
70 its details with untiring energy.
Nothing has been too minute
for his attention, and nothing so ardu-
Gus that he has not mastered il com
pletely. In the heat of argument he has
ever been courteous and clear-headed.
In many instances his conciliatory
methods and excellent judgment have
rescued meritorious measures from de-
feat at the hands of n partisan opposi.
ton, where leader less considerate of
others would have failed.
II the qualities which the past few
