TUESDAY ,:DEOEMBER 26, 1893.

Now THAT the Cleveland administration
has failed to bluff the Hawaiian patriots,
it will return to the congenial task of per-
scouting Union veterans and beggarlDg
American workingmen.
THE proposed tariff reduction by the
Democrats is creating much alarm among
the pottery men of Trenton. They fear
that under the revision their interests
will be ruined. The employees, as well as
the bosses, are in active array against the
Wilson tariff bill and are signing a pc
tition to protest against it passage. One
large manufacturing potter has said that
he was tried fighting for his interest to-
gether with the interests of his employees
and would let the latter fight for their
employment now. He said the men are
seeing now for themselves what he had so
long preached to them, but which they
would not believe.
Another petition being signed in that
city is one for business men only.

Old Form. of Sport In England.

Dogfghting continues. l remember
some years ago walking on the sands
along certain line of coast on Sunday
morning and passing half dozen rings
where they were conducting the dog
fights with the hveliest animation and
the strongest language. Batting in'all
its branches l believe to be quite dead,
yet 80 years ago badger batting could
be, and was, secretly enjoyed by bad
ger and dog and onlooker in certain
back garden of a certain university
town. A good, tough badger afforded
very fine sport, believe. Bear batting
in mild form l have seen in the south
of France, and bullfghting also in mild
form in the amphitheater of Aries. The
only old form of sport which is really
dead is the ancient Good Friday pas
time of throwing at cocks. Nothing else
is dead-only for time in eclipse

An Extraordinary Story.

A story from the west is to the follow
ing effect: A chicken rancher of the state
of Washington was almost ruined by
the numerous snakes which resorted in
his neighborhood and swallowed the
eggs and young chickens as they ap-
peared. All his plans to save his stock
proved unavailing until happy thought
struck him, and he bought quantity Of
porcelain nest eggs and scattered them
about in the hens nests. The snakes
swallowed the imitation eggs with avid
ity and fatal results.-New York Even

Ex-Secretary Whitney designated a
portion of our laboring men as the
lower classes" This title has the essen
tial flavor of free trade about it. Free
trade would always degrade the honest
man who makes his living by his toll,
and correspondingly exalt those who
are wealthy. Should free trade become
an actuality in this country, the great,
independent American farmer will be
known as a peasant"

PENCIL POINTERS.

Judge Loehren, Pension Commissioner,
has fixed the age at which a veteran
soldier would become unable to support
himself by manual labor at 10 years.
Since there are fully ten men unable to
work at the age of 10 years to one that
is able to support himself at that age,
this concession of the Pension Commis-
sioner will be greatly appreciated by the
old soldiers under 75 years of age, who
are unable to work. A regular army
officer is retired at sixty-five, but com
mon soldier, who went through harder
service than any regular army officer
in these days must support himself
until he passes the limit of the lives of
most men.
The Sherman purchase law may be re-
pealed but that alone is not going to
bring back our good times. As long as
the doubt as to the tariff exists confidence
will not be restored, and the tariff is
mainly the cause of the trouble. Before
the advent of the Democratic admins
tration everything was moving along
smoothly. The manufacturers and the
people knew all about the tariff and what
to do. Now everything is uncertain and
no man knows what to do. Every indus
try is taking in sail in view of a
threatened tariff reduction. Hence the
depression.
