The pecay of Lace nfalslng.

Some attention has lately been directed
to the very appreciable deeadence in the
Honiton lace making industry, and vari-
GUS reasons are assigned for the fact. The
competition Of foreign makes Of lace and a
want of originality in the Devonshire range
of designs are among the supposed causes
Of the decline, and it is suggested that the
county council might take some steps to-
ward its revival. The real source of decay,
however lies too deep to be thus easily
reached. Fashion unfortunately has not
run lately toward the patronage Of good
lace, and few women, even among those
who pride themselves on dressing we'll, are
SO much as elementary critics and connois-
seurs of the fflmy fabric.
The perfection with which machine made
laces are now turned out has been another
fatal blow to the infinitely more artistic
handmade wares. The linen thread Tor
chon makes illustrate this point very
strongly, for while the genuine product is
relatively costly adornment, the imita-
tion material in cotton can be bought
cheaply enough to be included in the trim
mings of five and elevenpenny ready
made garment.
The Princess of Wales and several of the
other royal ladies are keen collectors and
excellent judges of the wares of the Eng
lish and Irish schools of lacecraft, and
when British women generally follow their
example in a truly feminine and dainty
''eraZe" there will be demand enough to
bring about a vital amendment in the pres
ent condition of the industry. London

The "Robber Tariff"

TO the Editor: The average price
| per day paid the workmen of free trade
Great Britain is 81 ,06. Ohio workmen
average $1.75 a day. What do you
think Of the 'robber tariff?p-p0ledo
Blade.
We think that, never in the history
of modern civilization have any people
been go robbed by the money power
trusts and combines, as the American
people are today.
"But the "tariif robber" beats them
all; 60 cents on the dollar. Just think
Of it.
Mcbride, commissioner of Labor
Statistics for Ohio in 1889, says, "the
average wages of 440,953 women in
manufactures in Ohio, is $2l7.SS, or 90
cents per day. Men in shops, average
product S720, of which he receives $340
or only 48 per cent. of the product, or
81 10 a day, just cents more than the
Blades English wages, and wages were
higher then than now.
He says, "in England labor gets so
per cent. of the product"
The bureau Of statistics in Pennsyl-
vania says this of wages in tariff pro-
tected industries: "Laborers in min
ing districts, Sl78.41 per annum, or 81
cents per day.
Miners, $28475 per year, or rs cents
a day"
After the strike in Braidwood coke
mines, investigation proved miners got
only $lS.25 q month, and had to pay 81
q month for the poorest hovel Of a
house to live in, and that left but so
cents day on which to keep family
aud the "r0bber tariff" would now take
80 cents of that, if spent in tariffgoods.
Just think of q family living on %
cents a day while the husband and
father is working in republican
high tariGprotected industry.
Strike? Who in thunder wouldn't
strike, and shoot. rather than have
starved under such ''robber tariff
wages.
The Blade asks what we think of the
"r0bber taritf?n
We think it rightly named, and that
it is damnable imposition.

A DIPLOMATIC cur De SAC.
Who Is the American Author OF IN,
Behrins Sea Correspondenee9

Who Is the American Author OF the
Behrinx Sea correspondenee9
We wonder who is the responsible au-
thor, so far as this government is con-
cerned, Of the treaty Of arbitration for
the settlement of the Behring sea dispute.
Whoever the author may be, he has
committed colossal blunder.
Nothing in the future is more certain
than that every one of the five points
submitted to arbitration by the terms of
the treaty would be decided against US.
The first four points concern the claim
to exclusive jurisdiction over an area Of
open ocean considerably larger than the
Mediterranean sea, a claim preposterous
according to all accepted ideas of inter
national law. Does anybody in his
senses suppose for an instant that arbi-
traitors named by France, Italy and
Sweden will hold that Behring sea is a
closed sea subject to the exclusive juris-
diction of the United States2 The fifth
point is in regard to our property rights
in the seals themselves and our right TO
claim the animals wherever in the wa
terry waste they may be found. Does
any sane person suppose for an instant
than an international tribunal will de-
eide for our convenience that the Alaska
fur seals are not fer@ natura? And yet
unless one or the other of these improb-
able, nay, impossible decisions is rem
dered, the whole negotiation, the treaty
and the arbitration will count for moth
ing toward the main object in view,
namely, the protection of the SEALS

Of them into his waiting hand. 81 don't

"And you don't like it'" questioned the

"Well, you see, ma'am, it's very tire

make much difference, but it does when a
man is in q bury at the end of his trip.
And it is easy to drop one or two, and then
we have to make them up We like nickels

Then the second woman of the trio whose
fare had produced the pennies spoke up;
''But we have the pennies. and car fare
IS one of our ways to get rid OF them. Men
buy papers aid cigars, you know, to use
up loose chaI re. We don't"

what This Congress win Save.

Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, states that
in the two sessions of the present con-
gress the appropriations will be reduced
about $100, 100000.
This general statement must be taken
on the faith of Mr.. Dockery's reputation
for accuracy, which is very high. 1t
seems to be certain, however, that aside
from the river and harbor bill there will
be saving this year of more than $780,
100000, and it is expected that at least
$4,0O0,000 will be saved on tho river and
harbor bill.
The task of saving money after the
legislation of the last congress was very
difficult. The permanent appropriations
had been increased for the purpose of
preventing retrenchment. If the Demo
cratic majority succeeds, therefore, in
cutting down appropriations in the first
session, outside of the river and harbor
bill, by $50, 600, 900, it is a great triumph
so far as it goes. It is pity that the
cutting should not so further and that
more money should not be saved in the
annual logrolling scheme,-New York

The Reward OF Judge Woods, Who Shield
ed "Biocks-of-Five'' Dudley.
Judge Woods, Of Indiana, the man
who shielded Dudley in the nefarious
blocks-of-ive political game Of 1888, has
received his reward. President Har-
rison's appointment Of this man to be
circuit justice has been confirmed by the
senate. But the confirmation was of a
character to seal the presidents action
with the stamp of infamous political
jobbery. He had the debt to pay, and
hesitating long he at length met the OBJ
legation. But when it came to the SEN
ate we note with pleasure the unmistak-
able evidence that few-a very few, to
be sure-of the Republicans of that body
entertained a sense of honor that would
not bend, even before the ignoble impor-
tunities Of tho administration.
Harrison was in a tight place. A fail
ure of the senate to confirm his appoint
ment would compromise him hopelessly.
Something must be done. The matter
was accordingly made a strict party
measure, the Democrats opposing 10
man, and PETER voted with them. Nor
did the administration give full party
vote, several senators absenting them
selves, not willing to oppose, but unable
to support the measure undertaken by
the president.
Where have we else such a spectaclei
On what page Of our nations political
history is to be found a blot like this!
A base and shameless plot for political
prestige in a campaign is not alone
winked at by the man who owes in part
his victory to it, but that same outrage
figures afresh at the opening of new
campaign, and we, the American people,
are treated to the inspiring spectacle
of our nations chief executive stopping
from his high place and, potent through
his proud position, rewarding with hon
ors the man who shielded this cowardly
crime.
