COMEDY ON THE RAIL.
An Old Gentleman and a Young Woma
the Only Actors.

An Old Gentleman and Young Woman
the Only Actors.
A girl about eighteen years old sat
next the window in the rear cross seat
OF an elevated railroad car the other
day. In spite of the steaming weather
she looked cool and fresh in her white
India muslin froclz. and her large, blue
eyes looked out innocently upon a hot
and profane generation. Upon her
head she wore big, wavy hat of white
Leghorn straw, around the crown of
which was garland of great flaming
peoples, which dangled loosely from
their rubber stems.
The car was an old one. and there
was no little fence to separate the per-
son sitting where she did from the per-
son sitting in the side seat next to the
cross section. The girl sat well into
the corner, and behind her, in the last
side seat, sat an old gentleman who had
taken off his hat, and whose large bald
spot was turned toward the girl.
Neither dreamed of interfering with
the other, but the motion of the train
set the peoples on the girls hat nod
ding, and they tickled the old gentle
man on his bald spot He was reading
his newspapers, and made an absent
minded pass and the imaginary fly,
with the result of giving the big hat a
smart slap. The girl half looked
around to see who was jostling her. but
the old gentleman did not notice her
She settled back in her seat again. and
again her peoples scra tched the gleam-
ing spheroid behind her.

with much energy this time, and either
his hand or his shoulder touched the
looked ready to run away, but there
were no empty seats near by, and she
hesitated. The old gentleman, on his
part, turned around and regarded her
with look of momentary suspicion
which changed to puzzled surprise.
BY this time several persons sitting
near the unconscious com batants were
INDUCING in broad grins, which did not
add to the peace of mind either of mar
or girl. But they gradually resumed
their former attitudes, and again the
peoples dangled against the skull of the
unhappy old gentleman, who turned
around sharply, when the trailing fowe,
brushed against his nose. With look
of mingled disgust and relief-because
he understood at last-he turned his
bald spot toward the window, while his
neighbors smiled at the close of the
comedy and the girl continued to look
out of her big blue eyes at a world
wherein was much that she didn't know
about.-N. Y. Times

It would be just as safe as giving him
the power to tax or untax the people

these legislative powers are conferred
on the president only for the purpose
of increasing the burdens of taxation,

A Published story of Compromising In

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-A special to
the Sun from Fall River, Mass, says
that the story published Thursday in
the New York World purporting to be
an account of an interview between
the Borden sisters in the presence of
Matron Regain in which Lizzie re-
preached Emma for telling Mr.. Jen-
nings, Lizzie's counsel, something that
was alleged to be highly prejudicial
to Lizzie's interests and strongly indi-
cative of guilt, was false
THE story is fake, the special says.
ut was written by a reporter who did
not reach here on Wednesday until 5:15
in the afternoon. The story is also
published in a Boston newspaper yes
terday over the name of this reporter,
who went to Boston to write it..
Mrs. Regain denied that she heard
any such conversation. She said the
story was untrue.
Emma Borden denied the story, as
did her sister Lizzie. Lawyer Jennings
says the story is lie. Lawyer Adams
denied it. In it's desire to get sensation

verifying it, and in addition trimmed it
down to make it appear plausible.

A LAUNDERING PARTY.
Only One Issue Upon Which Republican.
Base Their Hopes.

Base Their Hopes.
Thousands of republicans emphati-
cally announced at the polls two years
ago that they were indignant at the
enactment of the Mckinley law, and
adopted by the republican senate in
withholding action upon matters OF
vital interest to the country. That
body refused to consider the tariff bill
sent to it from the house, and thus ig-
nored the wishes of the great majority
as expressed at the polls. Among
other shortcomings it also declined to
act on the measures looking to the adj
mission to statehood of Arizona and
New Mexico.
But there may be an apology for this
mastery inactivity on the part of the
controlling power in the senate. 1t
may have been restrained by want of
faith in it's own wisdom, as suggested
by humiliating experience. When the
notorious Reed congress adjourned,
after one of the longest sessions on
record, boastful republicans pointed to
formidable list of enacted laws which
were to bring the smile of prosperity
upon the entire nation. The republic
ans had passed the Mckinley tariff
bill. the pension bill, the silver bill.
the antitrust bill, the subsidy bill and
bills admitting several new states to
the union. These legislative achieve
ments were pointed to with apparent
pride and the party organs sang their
praises in grand chorus.
Time wrought some radical changes,
however, and the subjects of praise
offerings began to grow alarmingly
less. The pension bill involved a heavy
outlay of money, the department was
badly managed. and to make matters

TIN AND TERNE.

Report of Ira Aver. Special Agent of the
Treasury Department Oh the Matter of
the Production of Tin and Terne Plates
In the United States.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The special
report of Ira Aver, special agent of the
treasury department, deputed to ex-
anime into the question of the produc-
ton of tin and terne plates, is made
public. The total production of tin and
terne plates proper for the year ended
June so, 1892. by quarters, was as fol-
lows: Septem Der 80. 1891, S21, 922: Decem-
Der 81. 1891. LOO, 121: March 81, 1892
1923, 225; June 20. 1892, S, 200, Isl. Total,
13.646,719.
The production of American sheet
iron or steel, made into articles and
ware, timed or terne coated. during
the year. as shown by the sworn state
ments of manufactures received yester-
day was 4,4s2.22s pounds. As these
manufactures constitute tin and terne
plates within the meaning of the law
1T now seems probable that when full
returns of the same are received the
total production for the year, inclusive
of such manufactures. will not fall
much short of 10000, 900 pounds
A careful estimate shows that the
quantity of black plate produced in the
United States. and which entered into
the manufacture of tin and ternc plates
during the year was, by quarters, as
follows: September 80, 1891, 9S3.547:

During the fiscal year five firms were
engaged in the manufacture of TIN and

twenty during the third and twenty
six during the fourth. The probability
is that at least eight new names will
be added to the list of manufactures at
the end of the present quarter.

Republican Hopes That Are without

Republican Hopes That Are without
Foundation.
The republican organs seem to be
fairly confident that the democrats will
lose the state of West Virginia this
fall, Or, if they are. not SO, their express
sions of opinion are insincere. We do
not know, nor do they state, on what
their hopes are based, except the gen
eral favorab BILE reports made to Chair
man Carter. The fact that Mr.. Elkins
firmly declined to be the candidate of
his party for governor would indicate
that he does not share the confidence
professed by the party papers. He is
undoubtedly very popular in the state,
and his nomination would have done
more to carry it for Harrison than any
one thing the party could do, and that
result would give Mr.. Elkins prestige

AN UNHANDY TARIFF.
Taxation That Does Not Conform to the
Rate of Wages.

Taxation That Does Not Conform to the
Rate of Wages.
The Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers in reaching an
agreement with their employers (other
than the Carnegie company submitted
to reduction of wages averaging ten
per cent.
This raises an interesting and at the
same time a perplexing question. The
republican platform says that the tariff
ought to be equal to the difference be-
tween American wages and wages
abroad. Mai. Mckinley said he had in
no case put tariff rates higher than
was necessary to cover differences of
cost, including labor, here and in for
eign countries. Thus the party is COM
mitted to the position that the rate of
duty should not exceed the difference in
the wage cost of the protected article.
The difficulty arises in the applica-
ton of this rule. Maj. Mckinley must
be presumed to have fixed his rates on
the basis of the wages of 1890. AS to
the iron and steel schedule, these rates
have just been reduced ten per cent.
To preserve the symmetry of the Nc
kinley tariff, the rates of duty ought
to be reduced ten per cent. also. No
such reduction has taken place, how
ever, nor is it recalled that any Nc
Kinley organ has proposed any such
change of the law.
We purposely omit saying that many
articles of iron and steel are protected

sover any possible difference in labor
cost, because for the time we are look
Ing at this question from a republican
standpoint. If republican platforms
lay down precise rules for laying duties,

A Poser.

Tom Duffee is devotee of amateur
photography. and one of those erthu-
siasts who can never see one of his fam
lily in comfortable position without
insisting upon taking plate on the
spot. He always prepares for the pro-
cess by twisting the sitter into some
outlandish attitude on the plea of MAX
ing things more artistic. Not long ago
there was an informal exhibition of the
work of a Photographic club to which
Tom belongs. at which was displayed
the fruits of the efforts of members to
immortalize their friends. In one
corner hunga group of figures twisted
into the most extraordinary positions,
the general effect being that of pictures
taken from sitters partly paralyzed.
