THE State Department last week said

THE State Department last week said,
in effect, that the oflense of Mr.. Ryder,
S. consul at Copenhagen, was OF a
U character, and that as his heart
warm for his country's cause and
d. still wore wound received in the
-;ne. ]enance of that cause, he deseT-
Mar Mares :s;ympathy, and would be treated
Jsleniently. Mr. Ryder himselfnow con-
fesses that he has disgraced his country
in foreign city by committing the
crimes of embezzlement and forgery,
and by inducing his wife to periure her
self. So it seems that Mr.. Ryder mas a
worse opinion of himself than the State
Department has. But Mr.. Ryder is u
republican, and republicans have warm
places in the hearts OF all the depart
ments of Mr.. Harrison's administra-
ton.

As ANTICIPATED, the republicans of
Georgia have determined to unite with
the third party in the latter's effort to
defeat the democracy of that State, but
to run straight republican Presi-
Dental electoral ticket, with the hope
of electing it in consequence of the
democratic voters that will be carried
off by the third party. There may be
a reason for the attempt certain men in
the South who have heretofore been
democrats to continue the republicans in
power and to secure the passage of the
Force bill, but what it is they have not
vet told their neighbors.

If THE report that Judge Gresham
has declared his intention disappearing
the third party ticket be true, the re-
publicans will have to bestir Themselves,
or else all they may gain by the help of
the third party in the South will be
more than Offset by what they will lose

PRESIDENT HARRISON being unable,
by reason of the opposition of repub-
lioan U. S. Senate, to force a negro upon
the people of Charleston as their post
master, has done the next thing he
could in that line, and appointed one as
postmaster at Cheraw in the same State.
But the idea ofappointing negro post
master in any northern or western city
or town never enters Mr.. Harrison's
head. In his opinion negroes make
good enough postmasters for people
of the South, but not for those whose
lot has been cast in the other sections OF
the country.

THE TARIFF tax on quinine and raw
sugar was removed, and the price of
those articles was Immediately re-
duced. The tariff tax on rags, ofwhich
paper is made, was removed and the
tariff tax on paper was reduced. The
natural effect has been that a reduction
has also taken place in the price of
paper. Yes, the removal of the tariff

40,urHE REPORT that Judge Gresham has
declared for Weaver can hardly be
true; but if it be, it will only show that
even the best and most conservative re-
publicans are so bigoted and preiudiced
that they agree with Senator Sherman,
that anything is justifiable in law and
morals that will beat down the demo-
cratic party. The idea that man
holding the position of U, 5. judge
, should favor the adoption of any such
wild and reckless schemes as those
urged by Mr.. Weaver seems preposter-
Gus to those having any interest in the
countrv,s welfare.

SOME sANGUINE democrats take great
store of comfort from the alleged cool
ness of certain prominent republicans
toward Mr.. Harrison. They are not
familiar with human nature. If they
were, they would abandon such hope at
once, for they would know that Messrs.
Platt, Ingersoll and the like, no matter
how mach they may hate Mr.. Harrison,
hate the democratic party great deal
more. and in consequence thereof will
march up to the polls next November
and vote their party's ticket, with little
grace to be sure, but with just as much
effect as though the names on it were
verbose of their dearest friends.

A Primitive shelter.

While attached to military expe-
dition against the Sioux in Wyoming, in
1877, ! saw those Indians construct at
the various camps we made what take
to be the most primitive form of house
built by human hands. 1t was simply
a shelter, or tepee as they called il.
made with the green boughs cut from
the cottonwood trees. Without any
especial preparation of the ground, they
implanted the cut ends of the limbs in
two parallel rows about eight feet long
and five feet apart. The tops were
adroitly bent over the Enclosed space and
fastened together along the middle line,
thus creating a semicylindrical shelter
open at both ends. These tepees We're
merely intended for two or three men to
sleep in, all the cooking and other ar
raDgements being performed outside. -

FANS FOR A CENT.
why They Can he Sold SO Cheaply after
Coming from Japan.

"Japanese fans. only cent" This
was the cry Of 4 street peddler one day
last week, says the \. Y. Mail ami Et-
DrcSS, and he had very little trouble IN
disposing Of his wares.
The fans were strongly made OF
twenty-five strips Of bamboo, with two
thicker ones at the ends, the latter
having on them polish of black
lacquer. The strips were heid together
by riyet, forming hinge, on which
the fan opened and closed.
The upper ends Of the strips were
covered with two layers Of tough paper,
painted in four colors, representing
flowers, the top edge touched with
another color. And all for cent.
The reporter asked n dealer how
such fan could be made and brought
from japan TO New York, here sold at
so low a price and yet give the peddler
a profit. Bamboo" said he, grows
in Japan as plentiful as cattails in New
Jersey"
1T is easily split by haud-and-foot
machine. and hundreds of thousands
of strips can be- made IN day. The
japanese excel IN the making o. stroug
or tough paper, and in painting rapid
Is, by stamping process, the flowers
upon it.
"The putting together Of the fan is
done By machinery, and he cost ot
the labor is almost nothing when COM
lared with the pay OF American work
| men.
The cheap fans are used ic- pack
ing more expensive goods, such rs por-
celain jars, and as they pack closely a
large number can 90 inside and around
one umbrella stand.
The porcelain bears the expense Of
freight, which would amount to just As
much without the packing as with.
This packing helps 10 preserve the
more valuable article.
SO there is no cost for the freight
| al the fans. Although there is 80 per
| cent duty on both the porcelain and
| packing, the invoice price of the latter
is 20 small the duty amounts 10 little.
The fan packing is then sold here in
| fob lots and the peddlers get them for
mere nothing. That is why they can
| sell them so cheaply.
Even at / cent, the realized price is
| much higher than the Japanese charge
| for them in large quantities.
