CLOSE CALL FOR THE BOY.

He Falls Into the Grip of a Big
Bear, Which Was Kept as a Pet.
Montreal Star.
Albert Morgan, lad of twelve, lies in
the MiddleSeX h oSpital, London, suffer
ing from Injuries received under singu-
lar circumstances. He has been severely
crushed by the Second Life Guards pet
bear, kept at the Albany street bar
racks. The lad was in the habit of
running messages for the soldiers, and,
boy-like, took every opportunity Of
making friends with the animal. Bruin
is confined with chain about six yards
long, TO pole i'll grass plot fenced in
By railing, but there was. it appears,
sufficient space between the rails for
the lad to get through.
Morgan approached the bear, which
was lying down, and famiiiarly patted
it on the back, as he had seen the SOL
diers doing, saying: "Get up, Polly"
The bear got up in anything but a
friendly MOOD, sprang on the boy and
with great blow Of his paw knocked
him down and commenced gnawng him.
The little fellow struggled bravely,
clutching the animal by the throat and
nose, but he would certainly have been
killed had it not been for the timely
arrival of Corporal Farrier Taylor, of
the Royal horse guards, who happened
to be Ill the neighbOrhood. With much
difficulty he beat off the animal, now
inturiated by the taste of the blood, and
rescued the boy.

"NIEDRINGaAUsING" AGAIN.

Mr.. NIEDRINGHAUS, of st. Louis, was
in the city, and fell victim to the re-
porter. Mr.. NIEDRINGHAUs had the
distinction of serving one term in con-
gress, and that was during the incuba-
ton and Matching of the MCKINLEY
bill. He was engaged in making a
granite ware in ST. Louis. and used
borax extensively in the work. He sig
nalized himself in congress by threat
ening an incontiGent bolt from his party
If they taxed his borax, but was subse-
quently Modified by the prospective
profits of tin plate, or in some other
way which does not matter. He be-
came imaglnatively enthusiastic over
protection. and gave off so many glitter
ing prospectuSeS of it's benefits that the
Republic coined his name into new
term for such talk, and called it 'Nied-
ringhauSing."
Mr.. NIEDRINGHAUS is made to say
that we consume annually in this coun-
try lover 700.000,000 boxes" of tin plate.
AS the boxes contain liz pounds each.
this would make our use of TIN plate
amount to only rs, 400, 100000 pounds
each year. Of this amount, he says, we
have to import some, as the few facto-
ries that we have could not possibly man.
ufacture enough to supply the demand"
If, however, the tax is kept up oil the
imports, he says ''that in side of three
years we will be able to make every
thing needed on this side of the water"
This is all interesting, and also "im-
portant if true" The statement, how
ever, invites some inspection. 1t will
be interesting to find out about how
much of this annual consumption 1.-The
few factories" in this country are sup
plying. That quantity is manlfestly
the consumption less the imports. The
tax of % cents pound took effect July
l, 1891, and i'll antic ipation of it the i'm
ports ran up to over billion pounds,
but the average imports were about
| 650,000,000 pounds. Subtracting this
from Mr.. NIEDRINGHAUs' statement of
the consumption, it leaves 77,75O, 900
pounds to be produced by 1.-THE few fac
tories in this country, established, for
the most part. since 1890. At this rate
| of production it would take but very
''few more factories" to supply, not
only all we want, but all the world
wants.
Assuming that the reporter mistook
Mr.. NIEDRINGHAUs' pounds" for
'boxes,'' or that that gentleman care
| lessly used the word boxes where he
should have used the word pounds"
to state the consumption of tin plate in
this country. and that he meant that it
was 70O,000,000 pounds annually. then
| the product of the ''few factOries''
dwindles to about 100000 pounds. If
in three years the tin plate industries
under the stimulus of a bonus of 2.2
cents pound have been able to make
but one-thirteenth of what we want,
will the actuary of the Home Market
club kindly calculate about how long it
will below much more than Mr.. ME-
DRINGHAUs's three years--before they
will make all we use? Possibly with

THE POINT OF VIEW.

So much depends on the point of view.
Americans are rule unto themselves
in most things. There is among us such
a feeling of regard for the individual
that it amounts to reverence. This is
seen in the freedom that is allowed to
our young people, and that, as rule,
works so successfully; but it is at times
so tragically disastrous. In nothing is
this so apparent as in the way that the
average parent looks at the marriage of
his offspring. Young people of both
sexes associate together with scarcely
the shadow of restraint. In fact, a
large majority CT parents resent with
bitterness the intimation that there can
be the least danger in this close associa-
ton of boys and girls at the most impor-
tant period of their lives, and far be it
from the GLOBE tosay anything against
this peculiarly American method of
procedure; but no close observer of his
kind can fail to see where the danger
lies.
From the boy and girl friendships
that these school associations encourage
have sprung some Of the sweetest friend
ships, the most enduring incentives TO
self-culture that the world knows. We
are fully in favor of this association of
boys and girls. We find that the in
1uence of each on the other is good,
but still we would insist that the very
pleasure of these things should act as a
note of warning to the careful mothers
and fathers of the youth that are the
hope of our land. Because your daugh-
ter's boy chum is your next door neigh
boris son does not excuse you from
keeping watchful guard over their
friendship; or because your sons favor
ite girl associate is the daughter of
your dearest friend does not in the
least excuse your want of oversight.
How much more then, should parental

SOUTH CAROLINA'S LAW.

The Good Man Surprised.

A young lady organist in church in
Colorado was somewhat captivated with
the young pastor of the church in
the ueXt street, and was delighted to
hear one week that by an exchange he
was to preach the next Sunday in her
own church. The organ was pumped
by an Obstreperous old sexton, who
would often stop when he thought the
organ voluntary had lasted long enough.
This day the organist was anxious that
all should go well, and as the service
was about to begin she wrote note
intended solely for the sections eye.
He took it, and in spite of her agoniz-
ing beckonings carried it straight to the
preacher. What was that genteman's

that they care particularly about silver,
which they do not produce, but they
see that the logic of free silver applies
to grain as well, and that in fighting
the battle for silver they are fighting
also the battle for the sub-treasury
scheme. Mr.. BLAND should recognize

alliance with Senator STEWART and
