PUBLIC OPINION.

THE M'KINLEY LAW sUsTAINS ITSELF
Tue total value of imports OF tin plate
to this country fell from s2O,9Oo,oo5 10
$7,306,O1O for the nine months OF the
fiscal year ending March ii, lS9Z' as
compared with the corresponding months
prior tn that date in 1891. There is
strong argument in these figures against
repeating the tin plate duty. The idea
that there is any less consumption of
tin Mate now than during 1S90-91 is
untenable. 1t is certain that the output
of American tin plate factories is be-
ginning to have an appreciable effect IN
supplying the market.
II is highly noteworthy as an evidence
that the Mckinley law is keeping the
home market for home manufacturers
and workingmen that the total value of
all dutiable articles imported for the
nine months above noted was only
1926, 0,691, ,725, as against $3.50, ,7Sl ,6O5
for the nine months prior to March 81,
1891. Among the more important de-
clines were those in wooden goods from
35,417, ,945to $29, ,267; in silk goods
from $3l. .3S7,771 to $24, ,S62, ,673; in iron
and steel from $34802, ,652 to $l9,640, ,288;
in cotton goods from 25,lSl,673 to
$22, 2,769, ,185; and in chemicals from sl2,-
O35,133 to $l0,727,30 These figures
are ample evidence that the Mckinley
tariff is working practically and clearly
to the benefit of home industry.
Probably no feature of the quarterly
statistics SO clearly demonstrate this
conclusion as those on wool and woolen
goods. While the imports on woolens
were diminished by about s6,OOO,OOO as
shown above, the imports on wool in
creased from $13, ,730, ,535 to $14, ,792, 1897,
proving that there is an unusually active
condition among the wooden manufacto-
ries. The Mckinley law itself affords
the best evidence that it is in the inter
est of the whole country.

Summary JUSTICE.

: A despotic government has its advan-
tages, and among them is the easy col
lection of debt, provided the ruler is
friendly to the crditor. Ahmed Vefyk
Pasha, Turkish statesman, was once
Governor of Broussa, and this story is
told of his paternal rule:
A rich man had judgment pronounced
against him in favor of a poor man.
The latter, owing to the bribes of the rich
man, could not obtain execution, and
complained to Ahmed Vefyk. After
hearing the case, Ahmed saw the doctor
riding to the Konak upon a beautiful
Arab horse. He ordered the creditor to
sit down, called messenger and whis-
pered to him.
The doctor entered the room, and was
surprised at the exceptional cordiality of
the pasha, who invited him to sit down,
to take coffee, and to converse. Pres
emily, he rose to leave. the pasha press
ed him to remain, and kept him more
than an hour, until, indeed, the messen
ger entered the room and placed small
bag on the table before Ahmed.
When the doctor next rose, Ahmed
took the bag from the table and gave it
to him, stating, "This is yours. You
owed so much to this poor man; l have
sold your horse, paid him, and this is
the balance belonging to you"
THE KING OF SLAMS GLASS HOUSE.
London Daily New.
The King of Siam has just had pa

Walls, floors and ceiling are formed of
slabs of different sorts and thicknesses
of glass joined by impermeable cement.
By one door only can the King enter,
and this closes Theoretically when he
comes in, and ventilatOr-v valves in tall
pipes in the roof open, as does also
sluice beside reservoir in which the
glass house stands. The transparent

TENNYSON IN CORNWALL.

The Leeds Mercury.
Tennyson was never one for devoting
much time and attention to dress. As
an old man of 83 he wears the most
neglige of sun-dyed cloaks, with big
wide-awake hat under which his black
eyes sparkle with subdued brilliancy.
He is now splendid man for his years,
as he was in 1848. But his dress never
arose above the slovenly. Now that he
has grown old in years he has still the
love for walking that he had when he
visited Cornwall, and his pipe-a black
dudeen-is his great friend-ever faith
full and true. and seldom parted from
his lips for any very long period. Once
in Cornwall he lost his pipe, but the lady
who found it so treasured her prize that
she would not restore it. His habits
were of the simplest, though strange.
He would be down to dinner punctually
at o'clock of an afternoon, and he was
visible from that time until he went
to bed early or late the next morn
ing. Meanwhile, he would be discuss
ing all subjects that appealed to his act
i've and imaginative brain. When he
bade farewell for the night he entered
his room and was not seen until dinner
next day. So his stay in Cornwall was
passed. He drank sherry, and he smoked
continuously. He was never. without
the black dudeen, which his friends have
come to recognize as part and parcel of
the man.
Whilst thus quietly, lazily lying on the
stream of life, being gently carried for
ward, he was engaged in writing that
grand eulogy to his dead friend, Arthur
Hallam, the son of the historian. He
had just written some of his earlier
published poems, among them "The
Princess" and in 1850 was published
"In Memoriam," of which he must have
written some part in Mr.. Stokes house
at Truro. Meanwhile, though engaged
On this masterpiece, he was the best of
company. He was always ready for dis
cussion. CuriOusly enough, he was some
time in doubt as to Robert Browning's
claim as great poet; OF, if he had made
up his mind, his opinion was not favor
able. On one occasion he asked Mr..
Stokes, "What do you think of Brown
ing?" To which he got answer, 81 would
rather suspend judgment. What do you
think?". 81 would rather not say" an
swered the future Laureate. He was a
great admirer of Burns and Gray. He
once said the latter's "Elegy in Church
yard" he would rather have written than
any poem in the language.

IT was a Western youngster who,
having been presented by his uncle with
a new suit of clothes, became for the
first time in his life interested in his
personal appearance, and insisted upon
having collar put on and having his

uncle that gave him the clothes, he re-
quested him to comb his hair.
"Well," said the uncle. (which side

EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS
Our National Exhibit at the
Worlds Fair May Suffer.
EsUFTIoIENT SPACE ALLOTTED.

In tho little Corner Set Apart for
the Exhibit 1t Will be Impossible
to Make "A Creditablo Showing.
Plenty of Space for Hogs.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 49, - There is
danger of the educational exhibit of the
United States at the Chicago Worlds
fair will not be very creditable to the
country, nor be displayed to the best
advantage. This danger is due, it is
said, to difference of opinion between
the educational managers and the fair
directors and the curtailment of space
| placed at the disposal of the former, for
the display they wish to make.
w. t. Harris, commissioner of educa-
ton, Is endeayoring to change this con-
dition of aHaira He is in receipt of
communications from the fair directors
strongly urging that the exhibit be made
an elective one, such as will be made by
European countries. Commissioner Har-
MS objects to this plan on the ground
to our educational system is not con-
soli,idted one, each state having its own
system. His plan is to have exhibits
shown by the states, SO as to make
proper presentation.
were passed by meeting of state super
intendents, hold at Chicago last month
They recited the facts that Europe had
made vast progress in educational mat
ters in the past twenty-five years; that its
systems will he shown to great advan-
tage; that in the American system of
education each state forms a unit, and
that it would require at least 200. 600
square feet Of floor space to accommo-
date satisfactory and creditable ex-
hlbit from the United States.
Necessity for Greater Space.
If this amount Of space cannot be had,
the superintendent said, it would be un-
wise to attempt presentation ill the
presence of the elaborate exhibits of the
older countries Of Europe.
The educators think The fair directors
do not realize the Importance of their ex-
hibit, which if made, they say, will be
subjected to the closest study by the
learned men of Europe who will visit
the United States in 1893 for this es-
peeial purpose.
They also point with some evidence of
disgust to the fact that about thirty
acres of space will be devoted to the ex-
hibit of hogs, while their cause has to
suffer.
If the space desired cannot be had. il
is said at the educational bureau that
the exhibit will either have to be
abandoned or the states will be com
PEELED to exhibit aOparately in building
or buildings prepared for that purpose.
The exhibit contemplated will consist
of bound books OF manuscript, educa-
tional papers, Quarts and maps, showing
the progress of the states, the number Of
children attending the schools, cuts
showing the architecture Of school
buildings, models and apparatus used
for educational purposes, etc.

is bad wreck, as five mail and express
cars are piled up ON top of the freight
engine. The cause of the wreck was dis
obedience of orders by the freight crew.
