The beauty of Pecks figures Is that
he didn't think they'd be such as they
insisted upon being. He believed they
would sustain Campbell and the other
calamity shriekers. They were a sur
prise to him" disagreeable, if you will,
but surprise" But having gathered
them he was bound to classify, tabulate,
explain and print them.
Honest fellow, this Peck, even IL a
Democrat. Because he acted as an hon
est man must, and as a State official is
bound by his oath to act, the Democrats
execrate him. They cannot understand
honesty that initiates against their po-
liticai schemes. They have no use for
men who are /" traitors" to the party
because loyal to official trusts. So Peck
is catching it very hot. He does not
seem to mind it, however, and has put
on "A vivid coat of war paint to meet

MIR. HILLS SPEECH.

After Senator Hill had sufficiently
emphasized his real attitude toward
Cleveland by refusing to meet him in
New York during the famous week of
conference, and in other ways, he went
to Brooklyn last night and made a
speech.
The distinguished snapper again pro-
claimed himself q Democrat, and spoke
with considerable force regarding 10y
atty to the party ticket. He attempted
to show that the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform does not mean
free trade, and though he said that
while "some Of us might have preferred
little different phraseology," he is
prepared to advocate and defend the
plank. He devoted the bulk of his
speech to the tariff, dismissing the
force bill issue with brief mention. He
mentioned Cleveland's name once, at
the very close of the speech, as one of
Z" our honored standard bearers"
The whole speech was rather per-
functory, and not replete with senti-
ments and expressions that will cheer
and sustain the Democrats in their cam
paign. 1t has given the managers the
coveted opportunity to declare that
Senator Hill is in line and will support
the ticket, which is what they hungered
and thirsted after.

Tho nemocratio Way.

The country has recently experienced
-four important and serious strikes. AT
Homestead the strike was commenced
by boss workmen engaged at exceeding
hy high wages in producing articles on
which the tariff had been reduced by
the Mckinley bill. At the Ceur d'Alene
bilver mines the strike was by union
workingmen engaged in producing an
hrticle which bears no tariff duty. In
Tennessee tho issue is convict labor and
bn New York the trouble is in the un-
tariffed railroad business. Yet the whole
thing will be charged TO the oppression
hnd robbery OF the Mckinley tariff tax.

READY-MADE CLOTHING.

Another Load for the Caiamityite Camel
to Bear.
Rochester is after New York and
Philadelphia the largest center of the
manufacture of ready made clothing.
1t is convenient locality for subjecting
one Of the Democratic issues Of 1890 TO a
practical test. IL was assumed two
years ago that prices of ready made
clothing would be advanced in conse-
quence of the passage of the Mckinley
act, and also that the wages Of workmen
in that trade would be reduced by man
ufacturers as an offset TO the increased
cost Of material.
Our staff correspondent shows that
neither of these results has followed.
Ready made clothing is as cheap as ii
was two years ago and the workmen are
making as good wages, with the marked
advantage of steadier employment. The
price lists and wage schedules of the
manufacturers demonstrate the falsity
of the predictions made two years ago in
both respects.
It was one Of the chief objects of the
Mckinley act to secure the production
in the United States Of large variety
Of the finer manufactures of both woolen
and Gotten goods. This result has al
ready been partially accomplished. En-.
largements and improvements in wooden
mills have been made and many new
factories have been built. Not only is
every woolen mill in the country run.
ming on full time, but there Is also a
marked improvement in the qualities Of
manufactured goods. The greatest ac-
tivity prevails in this branch of business,
and the number Of competitors for sap
plying the home market with materials
for clothing is rapidly increasing.
/ If the Mckinley law remains in opera
tion few years longer the effect of largn-
ly increased competition will be fully
produced, and great reductions to con.
sumers will inevitably follow. Mean
while there is no increased burden to
consumers and no decline in wages, AZ
the volume of business In manufacturing
woolens and clothing is expanding enor-
'mously.-New York Tribune.

AT THE PLAYH0USES.
PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

John J.. Sullivan appeared last night at
the PROVIDENCE Opera House for the first
time as Captain Harcourt, or the Man
from Boston," and was heartily cheered
by hundreds OF his old-time admirers in
this city. The gallery gods were the
worshippers, and every opportunity TO
idolize their champion was improved.
Every one knows that the play was writ
ten expressly for the erst while hero OF
the prize ring, and that he is the central
figure. He knew his lines well, and con-
Quoted himself with easy grace and even
dignity in the most trying situations.
His voice, far from the hoarse below inn
puted, Is we'll mod ulated, and his articu-
lation is good and in marked contrast
to the bull-likes tones OF Mug
ger, alias the Slugger," one
of the characters whom the popular idea
associates with brutality and prize fight
ing. Susan Summerlield, the character
assumed by Grace Ottillie, was at ali
times pleasing and with Pat, n would be
court. The play amply illustrates sew
eral weaknesses, follies and foibles of
nineteenth century life. The central idea
appears to bs. Judge not hastily" A
pillow and floral harp bearing the words
Welcome" were handed over the foot
lights to Mr.. Sullivan by enthusiastic
admirers who expected a speech, which
was given, and then they weaC wild dur
ing several minutes. When the great
pugilist appeared in ring coFtume, his
well developed lower extremities encased
in green tights, considerable enthu siasm
was created. The play will be produced
all of this week, and judged by last
nights results will be success.

Kneading Clay with His Feet.

One Of the oldest features in the proc.
ess of making glass is the construction
of the "pots'' or crucibles in which the
raw materials are fused into glass ready
for the blowpipe. These pots, which
are dome shaped, about four feet high
and half as much in diameter, are made
of clay, which is principally imported
from Germany, although an article has
been discovered in the state of Missouri
which serves the purpose measurably
well. Men are at work constantly MAX
ing these pots, for supply of well sea-
soned ones must be kept on hand ready
for immediate use.
One of the workmen-and very i'm
portant one-is constantly employed in
kneading the moistened clay to bring it
into condition of requisite tenacity,
and this work oddly enough he does
with his bare feet, treading the yielding
mass back and forth with peculiar side
long steps all day long for period Of
three weeks to each "batch." No ma
chinery has ever been devised which can
supplant this primitive process of work
ing the cla,v into proper condition, and
the old man saw at work will doubt
less tread backward and forward in his
box of clay as long as he performs any
earthly labor.-Alfred Mathews in Pitts
burg Dispatch.

Won OIoltke as a Strategist.

AS skillful, untiring and farseeing
organizer of the means which make suo-
cess in war Moltke has never had an
equal and probably can never have a
superior. The unequaled success of the
efforts on his part and that of his coad-
jutor, Won Room, to perfect the national
preparedness for war produced the re-
suit that while these two lasted Ger
many would find in no European power
an equal antagonist.
Still less did any power produce
strategist who gave proof of ranking as
Moltke's peer. Thus it is impossible to
gauge the full measure of his potential
ties. He may have had reserves of
strategical genius which were never
evoked. It is impossible to determine
whether in the Franco German war he
put forth his full strength, or only SO
much of it as was proportionate to the
requirements suggested by the known
inferiority of the adversary.-Archibald
Forbes in Nineteenth Century.
