1t WOultin't Work,

Something impressed him with the be-
lief that a Republican family lived in
the house, and with cunning smile he
shuffied up to the kitchen and knocked.
"Good morning, num-" he said to the
lady who appeared
Good morning." she replied pleasant

lady inquiringly.

"Oh, no." she answered brightly; "it's
an excellent name, but the owner of 1t

call the dog.

That Free Trade Firm.

The flint glass business in several lines
has not come up to expectations. Sew
eral firms have blocked their furnaces
until after the holidays. Manufacturers
do not accumulate stocks like they did
in olden times. They close down when
they are out of orders. This is possible
with natural gas, as they are not COM
PEELED to pay fuel rates for gas when
blocking and they have no teasers to
pay. We think that when the fire. Is
put in manufacturers should run the
time fixed ard do like George A. Mac
beth s. Co.-ship their products to all
parts of the world. This is free trade

Increase in Japan.

An English statistician has been making
a study of the population Of Japan, and he
estimates that the annual rate of increase
in that country is thirteen in every thou
sand. On such basis the population will
double itself in fifty-eight years. This fact
is remarkable when compared with the
growth of the countries of Europe. In
England the rate of increase is 1879 thou
sand, but in most of the other countries it
is between six and nine, and in France and
Spain it is lower still. In the case of Japan,
too, the number of births is lower than in
most parts Of Europe except France, and
the number of illegitimate births is smaller
than in any European state. The writer in
question attributes the remarkable increase
to the development of wealth since the
restoration and the decrease of the death
rate among children.

II The Sugar Tax Is Restored There win
he Troublc for the Democrats.
The report came from Washington on
Dec. 20 that Congressman Catchings, of
Mississippi. said:
1--WE can frame tariff bill which will
save from 800 to $50 year to every
family Of five persons. In that case u
small tax on sugar would not be felt by
the people. The proposition to retax
this commodity would, | suppose, meet
with considerable opposition at the out
set. but as it is the net result which must
he looked Mt. and as the saving to the
I,eople would be much greater on other
things, think that tariff on sugar af-
fords the best means Of raising n large
revenue without at the same time im-
posing burden which would be felt.
The sugar bounty law can be repealed
at any time. The sugar bounty was
merely gratuitous gift by congress to
any industry already in existence.
favor the repeal of the sugar bounty, but
in its stead want to see a tariff placed
On the commodity"
theoretically Mr.. Catchings may be all
right, but practically he is all wrong. 1t
is easy to take duties off at any time, but
it is difficult to put duties on in times of
peace, The Republican party had an ex-
perience in 1890. 1t took the people just
two months to decide that they had no
more use for the party that had put on
more duties than it had taken off They
have never since changed their minds.
Tariff taxation is indirect taxation,
and the virtue of indirect taxation lies in
the fact that it filches money from the
pockets of the people so quietly and Sc
cretly that they do not see it go and sell
dom realize that they are taxed. Until
1890 the mass of the people did not know
that they were paying three cent tax
on every pound of sugar purchased.
They know it now and suspect that du-
ties on other articles are taxes. No other
article that is or can be protected is con-
sumed so universally and largely as
sugar. 1t will therefore be easier to in
crease any other duty than this one. The
Democratic party may be true to its
platform and greatly relieve the burdens
of the people, but if it restores the duty
on sugar its days will be numbered. The
Democrats, if they would retain power,
must take off and not put on duties. If,
with rigid economy, deficiencies occur,
they must be met by some kind of direct
taxation that will compel the rich to
contribute something to the government
that for thirty years has been an instru-
ment for extorting money from the
pockets of the people to turn it over to
trusts and corporations.

COnYinceI Against His Will.

In his message of 1890, just after the
country had hit McKinleyism the first
time, President Harrison said that there
would be neither wisdom nor justice
in reforming the tariff before the Nc
Kinley bill had had a "fair trial" This
implied that, if after fair trial the
popular verdict of condemnation should
be repeated, it would be both wise and
just to hearken to it. But now he acts
like the Irishman who appealed to the
court for justice and got it in the shape
of two years in the penitentiary, and
who made faces and shook MS fist at the
learned judgepronouncing sentence. Mr..
Harrison distinctly repudiates for him
self the idea that he represents the whole
people, and is bound to carry out their
wishes as clearly and legally expressed.
Yet he does not plainly say that he will
veto any tariff bills that may be passed,
only expressing hope that none will be
passed. 1t is the clear duty of congress
to put such bills before him as speedily
as possible.
In his letter of acceptance he admitted
that some changes might need to be
made in the Mckinley bill. How does
congress know that free wool and really
free sugar might not now seem to his
better instructed mind to be such
changes? At any rate congress ought
to go ahead and find out whether the
man who was afraid to veto the depend.
ent pension bill and the direct tax re.
fund bill, which put millions of dollars
of taxes upon the people, will get uI
courage to veto laws for removing
taxes. We admit that a message from
him explaining and defending such q
veto would be Il public calamity, but
perhaps he could be induced to send in
veto pure and simple and omit the
attendant agonies. York Evening

SECOND STORY.

A house of this kind should be heated
with a furnace. It is more economical than
heating by stoves and CRATES in more ways
than one, certainly as to fuel and labor,
and oftentimes in the first cost. The large
flue stacks are expensive; CRATE suggests
an expensive mantel, and thus with the
use of furnace one does not need so many
CRATES, mantels or fiues. AS matter of
fact, one would not need more than one
flue in house of this kind unless they
feel the necessity of CRATE and mantel for
the comfort of an open fire or for decora-
tive purposes Furthermore, the heat
from furnace is more agreeable than from
either CRATES or stoves, in that it is more
controllable and maintains uniform tenn
perature all over the house, which is hard
ly possible with stoves and CRATE.

UPPER SANDUsKY, o., Jan. 16.-A pc
culiar case has come to the attention of
the medical fraternity here. For seven
years Miss Ella, daughter of H. B..
Hale, prominent citizen, has been an
invalid.
Five years ago. during a coughing
spell, she lost her voice, and since that
time could not speak above whisper.
Scores of physicians were consulted,
but none could render her any benefit.
All declared her vocal chords paralyzed.
Friday she was seized with q coughing
spell, and as her mother came to her as
sistance she started to whisper her
something, when, to her utter amaze
ment, her words came forth as loud as
could be wished. Her voice had return
ed in the same manner in which she lost
it, and she can now articulate as well
as ever. There is much interest here

Matching Teeth.

Dentists say that the greatest difficulty
they meet with in their work is the match"
ing of false teeth with the natural teeth
of their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings, upon which
are strung thin metal bars, each carry
ing tooth at it's extremity. There are
twenty-five of these sample teeth that run
all the way from nearly white to shade
that is almost olive Some of the twenty
five usually match the patients teeth, and
at any rate enable the dentist to match the
teeth by application at the factory. Wash

DAVID B. HILL IN THE SENATE

Mr.. Hills influence in the Senate
is very much greater than is general
ly believed, though it may not be
strong enough for contention with
the administration. In measure
Hill has taken the place of German
in the Senate. All the friends that
German lost in Chicago Hill gained,
and this gives him sufficient power
in the Senate to make himself quite
disagreeahle to the administration if
he desires to do so. The assumption,
however, that he is going TO put on a
coat of war paint and carry bowie
knife in each boot and a brace Of six
shooters in view, does not give suifi-
cient credit to his discretion and skill
as a political wire-puller.
Notwithstanding the bitterness Of
feeling which is provoked by the New
York Senatorial fight, it may be de
pended upon that Mr.. Hill will not
appear IN the Senate in the attitude Of
an open opponent of the administra-
tion. There is good reason for be.
lieving that Mr.. Hill will not only de-
cline to pose as the leader of an op-
position, but in spite of all the ai.
fronts he feels have been put upon
him, he will support the administra-
tion in most matters. Where trouble
is looked for by those who are skim
ming over the surface is with relation
to the contirmations. There is no
ton of some people that Hill will
make a fight at every opportunity.
They are probably mistaken. Men
who are pretty familiar with the sit
uaton and know Hill very well, be-
lieve that he will follow no such line
of policy, but will cpprovo every
thing and every person passing his
test Of Democracy.
1t is believed that the only thing
Hill has in view is TO stand on guard
to prevent the prcferment Of mug
wumps His test Of party qualitlca-
tions will not be personal support OF
himself. But he hates mugwump,
and every democrat in public life be-
lieves that the first mugwump nomi-
mated for any important Office will be
fought tooth and nail by Hill, and
that he will have the secret assist
ance Of good many men who will
not dare to make an open fight. --Ex.
