BROKEN PROMISES.
The Tariff Increased Instead of Being Re.
duced.

The Tariff Increased Instead of Being Re-
duced.
There is one point about the present
republican campaign which should not
be overlooked, and that is that the
issue of McKinleyism, or extreme high
tariff, is directly made. Four years
ago nearly all the republican speakers
were admitting that the tariff needed
revision, and were saying that they
were in favor of reduced tariff, but
they insisted that revision and reduc.
ton should be performed by the repub.
licans. Thousands of voters sup.
ported Harrison with the expectation
of tariff reduction after his election.
Instead of getting this, they got an adj
vanced tariff. This year Mckinley and
all other republican speakers are stand
ing squarely by the Mckinley tariff,
and are defending it as the full flower
of republican policy. They are prom
Using no reductions of duties for the
future. Harrison's reelection would
be, therefore, a complete vindication of
the Mckinley tariff and would lead in
evitably to the enactment of still
higher tariff schedule. There is no
escape from this conclusion, and every
man who gives his vote for Harrison
must give it with the expectation of
seeing the tariff piled on still higher in
case of Harrison's success. IN. Y. Post.

The ''recent npleasentness" at
Homestead, Pa, has called attention to
the fact that the wages ofrollers, heaters
and other skilled worlSmen in the iron
and steel Industry are nearly twice as
high in western as in eastern Pennsyl-
vania. Is this because western has
twice as much tariff protection as east
ern Pennsylvania? Not at all; both
the manufacturers and the workers
agree that it Is because the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers is stronger in western than in
eastern Pennsylvania This is why the
millionaire iron masters are after the
scalp of the Amalgamated association,
just as they would be after a high tariff,
If IL really made wages high. The two
things that the manufacturers want
most are high prices for their products
and low wages to produce them; and
the mutual affinity between manufact-
urers and high tariffs Is evidence that
protection" accomplishes these two OBJ
jects. The workers and consumers
are learning these facts by piecemeal
but their wisdom teeth will be cut some

The Etianetta of Cues.

In China the men take as much pride
In their hair as women, and the pig
tall is a thing of no little moment. In
making the cue the whole head is
shaved except circular patch upon the
crown. The hair from this is braided
and strands of silk are added, which
ends in tassel reaching to the heels.
In full mourning the black strands are
replaced by white ones, and in second
mourning by light blue or green. 1t is
an objectionable breach of etiquette
for an inferior to enter the presence of
superior with his cue wound around
his neck or head, as it is frequently dis
posed of during work, and the greatest
insult one man can offer another is to
pull his cue. 1t seems very odd to see
sailors and soldiers on ship or in bar

Great Feast That Has Been Forctsid
by a Rabbi OF Israel.
The greatest discordance prevails
among Jewish doctors respecting the
time Of Messish's anticipated coming,
many OF them believing that his APP
pearance is delayed by the iniquities OF
the people Of Israel. Rabbi Machir,
who lived at the end Of the fourteenth
century, describes numerous commo-
tions. prodigies and signs that are to
precede that great event. He says;
When Israel shall be gathered from
all nations and brought to the land OF
their forefathers, and the Messiah shall
have rebuilt the city, he will celebrate
at gracious reception, at which every
one shall be seated at golden table.
At this feast he will entertain himself
and company with great battle be-
tween Behemoth and Leviathan. The
feats Of Behemoth will be highly graft
flying, and Leviathan will come armed
with his scales as a breast-plate and
covered with coat of mail The battle
will be fierce, but neither will be vic
torious. Both will fall exhausted, when

The organs and attorneys of mo-

to divert attention from the one great
issue of the campaign by making long
speeches and writing long articles
against the wildcat currency with
which the country was afflicted thirty
or forty years ago. Wayne Mac
Veagh summarily disposes of all this
rubbish when he says that ''the aver
age voter knows that the irredeemable
paper currency in use before the war
can never reappear."
The average voter knows that such
currency cannot be made legal tender

take dollar of IL unless he wants it.

PERIL FROM RATS AT SEA.

The Rodents Have Often Fouudered ships
by Gnawing Holes In Them.
1t was very great while before the
mariner came to realize that among the
perils which beset his calling he must
reckon the existence of rats on ship
board as by no means an insignificant
one. That sailors have for centuries
viewed the vermin with superstitious
eye is evident upon the testimony Of
many old writers The reputation of
the rat as an evil omen, is beyond ques-
ton very ancient; but as a pest whose
presence is a menace to the safety of
life at sea the animal has earned dis
tinction which is quite modern.
A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the creature is capable
of doing came to light during the pro-
ceedings of naval court of inquiry
held in August, 1875, for the purpose of
investigating the cause of the loss of
the bark Commodore, of Hartlepool,
England, and are related by Chambers
Journal. The vessel, which was burned
at sea, had been loaded with cargo of
timber, and the fire broke out in the
hold In most mysterious manner. 1t
was eventually proved, on the evidence
of the entire crew, that beyond a
shadow of doubt the outbreak was orig
mated by rat carrying off a lighted
candle, which had stood in the fore
castle and was presently missed by the
sailors, and dropping it among the dry
and resinous pine slowed below.
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the
time, and speaking of the danger gen.
orally of rats on shipboard said that
they have caused the laundering Of
many ships by gnawing holes in the
planking, or so eating away the inner
sides Of the wood as to leave very little
for the straining Of the hull to do; in
completing the aperture they have been
known to nibble the timber at the
waterways until the wood was SO thin
as to admit rainwater through it; they
will attack the bungs of casks and Gre
ate leakage; find out the soft parts OF
the knees or lining, and make q passage
for themselves from one part to an
other" So fully has the danger Of this
now come to be recognized that such
contingencies are generally provided
for in the insurance of wooden-bu
ships Chicago Herald.

DAILY Telegraph, Nos. 9tb)
Paris, Tuesday Night.

Paris, Tuesday Night.
Another shocking outrage, resulting, up to
the present, in the deaths of several persons
and in horrible injuries to others, was to-day
perpetrated by the dynamiters in the very
heart Of Paris and not a stones throw from
the Bank Of France. About half-past eleven
o'clock in the morning a terrible explosion
occurred in the Offices ,of the Commissary Of
Police in the Rue des Bons Enfants. The
report shook the whole district round the
Bank, the Palais Royal and the Louvre shops.
1t was loud in the Avenue do POpera, but
owing to the noise Of the traffic Of the stone
paved streets was only family heard near the
Bourse. The facts of this veritable c~atastro-
phe may be briefly summed up as follows
The dynamlterS had selected as their mark
the Office of the Carmaux Mining Company,
at No. II, Avenue de pOpera. In this place
a dangerous-looking m%Grmite, or pot, was
found this morning, and Garin, the Office
messenger, was directed to inform the police
Of the matter. He did so, and three consta-
bles took the suspicious object to the Office
Of the District Commissa1y OF Police in the
Rue des Bons Enfants. Garin accompanied
them, and on their arrival at their destination
the stuff in the marmite suddenly exploded,
nearly bringing down the large building in
which the Office is. or rather was, situated, and
killing Garin, a clerk or secretary, two police
men, and it is feared Others. NJ. Troutot-an
inspector-may be reckoned among the vic
Tins, as he lies in the Hotel Dieu in a con
dition which gives little hope Of his recovery.
HenriOt- another policeman-died of heart
disease on reaching the fatal spot.
No sooner was the news OF the explosion
known than thousands Of persons tiocked
towards the scene of the outrage from the
Bourse and all the busy places that lie between
1t and the Louvre. l succeeded in entering
the courtyard Of the police-station soon after
the terrible event occurred, and saw some of
the dead carried out of the dilapidated build
ing, their faces marked with gashes and
strsa ming with blood. The police who were
