MIR. BooKwALTER, in the New York
Herald, says the protective tariff has
compelled the people of this country to
pay t,cclrc hundred million dollars more
for their iron any copper during the
last twenty-five years than they other
wise would have had to pay, and that
therefore it is only natural that the sill
yer owners, reared under that influence,
should desire some of the benefits con-
ferred by the government upon the pro-
ducers of other metallic commodities.
The effort of the owners of the silver
mines to have money made out of the
product of their mines is not at all
strange, but why those who don't
own any such mines should be assisting
them in their effort passeth human I'M

Two REASONS are assigned for MIR.
Powierly's expressed declination of a
reelection as chief of the knights of
labor: the low state of the treasury of
that organization, and his determine
ton to adopt the profession to which
he and the knights have heretofore
been so much opposed-that of the law.
Well, most people grow wiser as they
advance in years, and some, though not
all, grow better.

REPAIRS AT Mt. VERNoN.-After
successfully withstanding the ravages
of time for more than century, Wash
ington's historic house at Mount Yer
non is beginning to show signs of de-
cav at the southeast corner of the build
ing. 1t has been found necessary to
take out portion of the woodwork I'M
der the big room known as the ban
quoting hall, which is looked after by
the lady regents representing the En-
pire State. New York has the largest
and best room at Mount Vernon, and
orders were promptly given by the re-
gent from that State to have the neces-
sary repairs made.
A section probably ten feet long and
two feet in height has been taken out
of this corner, of the building, and
the wooden foundation replaced by q
more substantial brick and mortar basis.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few days have been very much in
terested in the work of repairing the
historic pile, and so great has been the
eagerness of curiosity hunters to secure
pieces from the ruins that special de-
tail of watchmen has been placed over
the accumulated rubbish, which is 10
be preserved, and some of the best
pieces of the wood will be distributed
among the various museums of the civ
ilized world. Besides the exterior re-
pairs to the building, near the New
York room, it has also been found nee
essary to take out and replace with
new material portion of the window
sill in the banquet hall. These, how
ever, are the only repairs found neces-
sary to be made about the building, as
the result of the recent meeting of the
board of regents at Mount Vernon.

A MOTHERS RASH fAcT-As state

A MOTHERS RASH ACT-As stated
yesterday double tragedy took place
in Clarence Center, N. Y, yesterday.
Mrs. Henry Maybach, twenty-seven
years of age, cut her throat with her
husbands razor, and cut the throat OF
her seven-months-old girl baby. May
bach is q harnessmaker with a good
business and considerable property.
His wife was handsome woman, ac-
complished, and general favorite in
the village. They had two children, a
girl of three years old and the baby.
For several days the baby has been
teething and in poor health, and the
mother has been greatly concerned for
it. Yesterday morning about three
o'clock, while heavy thunder storm
was in progress, Mrs. Mayback
awakened her husband to assist
her with the baby. 1t was only
restless, and few minutes afterward
Maybach fell asleep again, supposing
his wife was sleeping also. About an
hour later he was awakened by groans,
and sprang out of bed just in time to
see his wife running out of the door to
the street with the blood gushing from
a great cash in her throat. Looking
tor the baby he found it in the baby
carriage with its throat cut from ear to
ear. He followed his wife into the
street, where he found her with the
razor in her hand, but she was so weak
from the loss of blood that she was be-
yond recovery. She died an hour later.
The baby was also dead. The woman
left a note saying she feared her baby
was going to die, and that she could
not bear to live without tt, and asking
that all of her property be given to her
little three-year-old daughter.

THE PHILADELPHIA Record, a
staunch and effective supporter OF the
President, says: There would have
been no serious thought ofan extra scs-
sion had not grave emergency in IL
nancial affairs demanded the prompt
action of Congress" Most of the true
and wise democrats of all sections OF
the country regret to hear this, as the
authority is so reliable, They are con-
WINGED that lad it not been for the pop
ular impression that the democrats
would hasten to revise tariff, so as to
remove the tax on the necessarles OF
life as soon rs possible, Mr.. Cleveland
would not have been elected President;
and what the Record says induces them
10 believe that that impression was pro-
duced by a trick, and that the people
were Intentionally and deliberately de-
ceived. People don't like to be de-
ceived. and democrats are people.

OCCASIONALLY a manufacturer has
the holiness to stand up and speak
out in meeting" The business man.
ager of the recently closed Troy steel
works has just done so. He says the
true cause of the suspension of opera
tons at his works was neither the silver
bill nor dread of tariff reform, but the
over production of steel in the whole
country, and the natural disadvantages
against which the Troy works had TO
contend. He says the country makes
four times more steel than can be con-
sumed. His explanation is clear and
correct, and again shows the injurious
effect of a tariff that over stimulates
production, and, for a time, enables
manufacturers To carry on profitable
business even against natural obstruc-
tions.

among the Jews. Then he had great
disadvantages in the lack OF facilities
for travelling. They knew no such COM
forts as we have today. Paul further
more had to labor with his own hands
for his support while preaching, for his
preaching was always done in cities
where the cause had never been planted
These difficulties, together with the fact
that be suffered much persecution from
Jew and Gentle alike, indicate Paul's
great trials.
Paul'e personal characteristics are as
striking as his work was successful. He
Mas brave, gorgeous and fearless. He
was prudent and tactful. He was ex-
ceedingly active, otherwise he could
never have accomplished such Hercu-
lean results. He WAS deeply consecrated
to his life work. He merged his own
striking personality into that of Christ ;
Christ lived in him. Then he had but
the one purpose, the one end and aim
in life. Everything pointed and con-
'tributed to that one purpose.
One consecrated life accomplished
this gret result. Every life in its own
sphere may be thus powerful for God
and for aiding humanity.
