A Constantly Narrow,nr Margin.

The impressiveness of Grover Cleve-
lands speech was principally in the fact
that he spoke truths that all have ex-
perienced, when he said that the people
are "burdened as consumers by a tariff
system that relentlessly and unjustly
demands from them in the purchase of
the necessaries and comforts of life an
amount scarcely met by wages of hard
and daily toll" From every city and
hamlet in the land the facts prove this
truth. and no sweeping general state
ment can convince the consumers of the
country, who see the margin between
wages and cost of living grow thinner
and thinner, that they are being benefit
ed by Republican protection. Utica on.

Light Head. Heavy Tail.

While that portion of the banner oc-
cupied by the name of Harrison some
times exhibits itself to the gaze of the
spectator, the tail of the streamer which
supports the name of Reid hangs like a
dead weight even in the briskest kind of
a gale. At times it seems as If Harri-
sons name would rise to the emergency,
as it were, but as often the name of Reid
pulls back like baIky horse and drsgs
down the proprietor of grandpa's hat to
perpendicular. The banner is very sug-
gestive, on the whole, of the Republican
feeling toward the presidential ticket

1t takes ten columns of space in the
New York World to recapitulate all the
strikes which have occurred in protected
industries in this country since the Nc
Kinley law went into effect. The mag
nitude of the list is astounding, even to
those who have long been convinced
that protection protects capital in its
aggressions on labor. Sixteen days after
the act went into effect / 200 iron miners
at Dayton, Tenn, struck against re-
duction of wages. That was the first,
and it has been followed by no fewer
than 473 strikes against reduction of
wages under the operation of the Nc
Kinley tariff iniquity. AS The World
expresses it, there "has been no instant
of time since the Mckinley tariff act
went into effect that there has not been
in progress somewhere within the
United States strike against pro-
posed reduction of wages in some pro-
tected industry. st. Paul Globe.

A small boy recently brought ladies'
gold watch into a Lewiston jewelry
store and desired to have broken crys-
tai replaced. The dealer had repaired
the watch few days before and he had
it's number and at once recognized it.
The rightful owner of the watch, as 1t
happens, lives neighbor to the jeweler,
and when he went home to supper that
night he called and asked them IL they
had sent the watch to the shop for re-
pairs. They said they had not. He
asked them if they had lent the watch
to any one and the answer was in the
negative.
They were quite sure the watch was
in the case where they had left it. At
the request of the jeweler they looked
and to their great surprise the watch
was not there. The jeweler then pro-
duced the property and told of the boys
coming to the store to have the crystal
put in. That was the first intimation
the family had Of being robbed.

The swifts arrive in the Andaman
islands toward the end of November,
but they take their time in building the
nests, which are formed from gelatin
ous secretion from the salivary glands of
those beautiful members of the swallow

first crop of nests is generally poor

His Former Flame Goes Back on Him and
He v Fined for Having . Pistol.
Jerry Wilson is young colored man from
fredericksburg, Va, and the pride Of his
heart IL Alice Carter. former resident Of the
same place. For three years he visited Alice
and vainly endeavored to win her affections.
Her mother left there long time ago, and
about month ago Alice followed her. Jerry
could not bear to have his dear one so far away
from him, and he, too, came to the capital.
Dressed In his best suit Of clothes he yesterday
went to Ebenezer Church, in East Washington,
where Alice was attending the meeting of the
literary society. and when she came out he lifted
his hat and made a graceful bow. Alice did
not return his greeting and she also refused to
discuss their love affairs and invited him to 90
away, threatening to have him arrested. Alice
had another friend with her and Jerry evil
IDENTIFY did not relish the idea of being succeeded
In the girls affections by Washington boy.
When Alice threatened to ''fix" him he re-
peated the threat toward her and made her
Sunday afternoon stroll exceedingly unpleasant
Policeman Gilbert finally met by Alice,
who complained Of Jerry's conduct, and the
officer arrested him.
In his vest pocket, where he could get it in case
OF an emergency was a loaded revolver and
when the police station was reached charge Of
concealed weapons was entered against him.
The was called before Judge kimball
this morning and Jerry wanted to tell the story
OF his love affuir. He produced batch of
letters which he had received from the girl. but
tho judge said they would show nothing about
the pistol and he wanted to hear nothing Of
their private affairs.
A fine of $50 or ninety days on the farm was
imposed, and Jerry went down.

evident at the First Presbyterian Church, where
Moderator Young oficiated. In spite of the
fact that it was Sunday one could hear discus
sions concerning interesting questions to come
before the assembly during the next week. 1t
appears that the Briggs case is under careful
consideration before the judicial committee. of
which Dr. Smith of Buffalo is the chairman.
The questions to be decided by the committee
relate entirely to the legal aspects Of the case.
not to its merits at all. 1t viii be the attempt
of the committee to present report upon
which the assembly can be united. Primarily
it must deal with the question whether the APP
peal Of the prosecuting committee is in order,
though further recommendations may be added
as to the proper disposition of the appeal.
Should an appeal be admitted the original par
ties in the prosecuting committee and Dr. Briggs
alone can be heard, and it is conjectured that
this last contingency occasions DR.. Briggs
coming.
