NO PATCHWORK POLICY.

The X publican leaders i'm congress
are being besought on every hand by
the mongrel-protectionist Of the Demo-
cracy to assist them in saving the spec
fnities in which they are interested for
example the coal and iron men of the
South dare not go back to their constit-
uents with coal and iron on the free
list and SO they are howling for some
degree of protection expecting
that the Republicans will rush
to their assistance. In this they will
be disappointed. The Republican
party is the advocate Of protec ton, but
not of partial protection, and unless
these Democrats desire to unite TO pre-
serve the policy Of protection In its en-
tirety it would be worse than folly for
the Republicans to agree to any patch
work protective scheme looking to the
protection of the special interests of
Democratic sections. In SO grave mat
ter the welfare of the whole people and
not of section is to be regarded. The
Democracy is the advocate of free trade
under the guise Of "tariff reform"
The Republican party is for the protec-
tion of all American industries and not
of portion of them, and it should not
be made the tool whereby most of the
industries are to be betrayed for the
benefit of few. The Democrats must
assume the responsibility absolutely and
not attempt to shuttle the burden
upon Republican shoulders. The only
way to cure the evil is TO absolutely eradi-
cate it, and the only way to do this is
to allow the Democracy full swing in
its management Of the tariff. The
next election after that has happened
will swing the Republicans back into
the majority so sweepingly that tariff
can be devised afforling ample protec-
tion for all interests.

Familiarity with danger seems :,

carelessness. We have seen the mo
hawk Dutchman," the celebrated ex.
pert with band scroll saw, rub the
ball of his thumb in dirty grease and
them cut the grease off with the rap
idly running saw as clean as could be
done with soap and water.

lessness resulting from familiarity. So
long as an operator is afraid of his ma
chine he is not apt to get hurt. Many
human minds are SO constituted that
they cannot bear a sustained effort in
one direction n--that is, cannot be al
ways equally on the alert in regard to
certain contingency.
A train dispatcher or switch tender
may hold place for years without ever
making mistake and at last make a
terrible one, from some cause he could
not explain. The only way to lessen
the number Of casualties-they cannot
be avoided entirely--is to take all pre-
cautions. This is required of the own
ers if they wish to escape costly damage
suits, but when all possible precautions
haye been taken one can then only trust
to luck.-Chattanooga Tradesman.

oda pennition of sermental wire Gun.

DEAR SIR beg to call your atten-
tion to the remarkable reply made by the
editor of The Broad Arrow in the issue
of that paper of Sept. 23 to an inquiry
regarding the Brown regimental wire
gun" (sic). page 401, to wit:
"The Brown gun is an American in
vention, and 'regimental wire gum is
an Americanism which we take to mean
gun to accompany regiment or bat
talon in the field. Ed. B. A."
The Brown segmental wire gun is so
called because the tube is made of seq
mental shaped bars of steel, around
which the wire is wound, or wrapped,
at a tension. The gun is inch cal
iber and "A calibers long. Its working
pressure is said to be $4,000 pounds
per square inch. 1t could be used as "a
gun to accompany battalion in the
field" only by the horse marines. Per-
haps the editor of the Broad Arrow
had that gallant body in mind.-New-

1t is to be hoped that even Democratic
pariisanship will not proceed to such II
length to screen even the president Of
the United States. The whole nation
has "a right TO know not only
just what has been done
but what has been attempted in this
matter. There should DO rigid
and non.partisan investigation and
the public should know how
the affair stands at the
present time. Star-chamber tribunals
for the purpose of administering white
wash are neither American in their
tendency nor Go they serve the
purpose for which an investiga-
ton is ordered. If the president
has done no wrong there will be the
more honor TO him in public vindica-
ton, and il he has exceeded his author
ity, as has been charged on the floors OF
congress, the truth should be revealed.

An Elastic Appetite.

The American black bear has an ap-

ed elastic. He will kill a thousand
pound steer or capture tho tiny field
mouse for a meal with equal indiifer-

10 his reach, he will dine on colony
of ants or nest of wood grubs.
He will feast on dainty birds eggs
or sweet stores of wild haaey and on the

ish for the savory trout, but at the
same time snap any warty toad or Shiny
lizard that may happen along that way.
He will seek the luscious wild plum

The average American citizen Is won
lerfully deficient in knowledge of what
he can get to eat. He falls down when
it comes to ordering a dinner. The
great majority of people in this country
are brought up frugally at home and
do not know anything but the common
est dishes. The consequence is that
when man goes into restaurant for
dinner or to hotel he gazes helplessly
at the bill of fare and sees many things
of which he docs not know the CON-
ponent parts. He dares not order any
thing that he is not sure of, for fear Of
ridicule. and he falls back on roast
beef and mashed potatoes. The fact is
he doesn't know anything but roast
beef.
Same way in restaurant. When a
waiter shoves q bill of fare under a
mans nose, nine times out Of ten he
will look it over and then say, "Gimme
a steak and some fried potatoes. Now,
the man who does this, and nearly ev-
cry one of us does do it day after day,
doesn't want roast beef. He is sick
unto death of steaks and fried potatoes.
He loathes ham and eggs. and yet he
keeps on ordering them in dreary and
dyspeptic succession, because he doesn't
know any better, and he is too proud
to confess his ignorance. It's that way
with me, and Ill bet it's that way with
most of you.-Buffalo Express.

There is fun ahead for Tammany hall.
Half hundred members of that cor

fingers at them and to have told them
TO crawl out Of the dilemma in the best
way possible-but they are just the
kind Of menials usually selected TO per.

The Visible and Invisible.

The wisest Indian philosophy has
never boggled, like ours, over that silly
word supernatural" The Upanishad
says, "What is in the visible exists al
SO in the invisible, and what is in
Brahms world is also here" The
ultimate, albeit unreachable, is as real
to the Asiatic mind as rice, and in the
Bhagavad-Gita Arjuna il actually per-
mitted to behold the embodied infinite.
Indeed it is rather this present existence
which India regards'as the illusion, the
maya. To see the stars we must wait
for night, and to live we must die.
Nor is it uninteresting to note in Hin
doc classics how these large and happy
serenities Of oriental view have softened
personifications of death. Edwin
Arnold.
