are In protected industries and who are
already obtaining less wages than work

out They can get on quite as we'll
without the charity Of the protected
barons, as those patriotic but thrifty
gentlemen can get on without the work

THERE is misconception concerning
the st. Augustine bridge and causeway
improvement. It is not private charity
There is bridge that has proved costly
and more or lessimpracticsbie because the
approaches are exposed to the action Of
the tides Instead Of repairing and replac
ing that bridge and making even more
costly projections for its approaches 1t is
proposed to build road further inland.
The original cost Of this will be about
one half the cost Of the other and the
cost Of maintenance will be less than
one fifth the snnual expense OF the other,
So far as we have been informed aud as
we believe the Levy Court is asked to
make change that will be equally
beneficial to the public and less costly
TO the tax payers.

belonged to the city, and might have
been expended for public benefit rather
than to private profits Of individual
stockholders. or course, all the pleas
which are usually made by the bene-
fciaries Of protected industry may be
urged to continue this yearly appropria-
tion. The stockholders may claim that
the water works would not have
been built, that IL would not
exist now, that it will be destroyed here
after; II it were not for the bonus. The
bonus does not come as the bounty goes
to the maple sugar tree-tapper, as the
tin bribe goes TO Neidringhaus, as the
steel rail protection goes to Carnegie,
but to the burdened people and the bene-
ited stockholders, the principle IS
the same in all cases The remedy
is TO take away the bounty; and
then II the water company must be
supported by the people, let the peo-
pie buy it and run it II Is principle
OF law that has not been controverted
and cannot be controverted, namely:
"To lay with one hand the power of the
government on the property Of the
citizen, and with the other to bestow
it upon favored individuals to aid pri-
vate enterprises and build up private
fortunes, is none the less robbery
because It is done under the forms Of
law and is oalea taxation"

WHILE it may not be necessary to
change the rules In the Senate to sup
press debate, it occurs to us that the
power to suppress the majority ought not
to be In the hands Of few Senators
whose personal interests are greater than
any other influence That was the case
in the recent silver debate. We would
not advocate the suppression Of debate,
but the lodgment of power somewhere

The Silver Coinage.

The United States government took the money coinage of the country into it's own hands in 1792. From that year till 1873 only S,O45. .SSS silver dollars were coined altogether. From 1873 to 1878 silver coinage was stopped. In 1878 it was resumed. and from 1878 till 1890 S37S. .166, 193 were coined in silver. In 1890 our coinage legislation was again ovehauled, and what is called the Sher- man act was passed in deference to the growing power of the silver menin con- gress.
 The 1890 law required the secretary of the treasury to purchase every month 1, 4,50O, 900 fine ounces of silver bullion and pay for it in the notes now known as sil- yer certificates. When these certificates were presented for payment at the treas ury, the secretary was to pay out gold or silver for them, at his discretion, but such has been the state of public senti- ment that his discretion has always been to pay in gold In addition to the issu- ance of the silver certificates the sccre- tary was required by law to coin q. .OO0,- 900 month from July 1, 1890, till July 1, 1891.
 Since tine resumption of silver coinage in 1878 41O, ,294, ,s85 silver dollars have been issued from the mint. Of this number oaly $5S.016,O19 are in actual circulation. Of outstanding silver cer- ti6cates there are $3s6, 4Ss. .165.

sAeYs BATH.
Always Make It Happy Timo For the
 Children.

<AANAgM AN hApPL AADlc EOE the
 Children.
 Why is it that so many mothers give their babies a daily bath until they are about 2 years old and then all of sud- den find tha. cnce a week is often enough?
 A child who is properly bathed every day will be most unlikely to take cold and far less likely to take any contagious disease than if it is washed less ire quently.
 The best time for Q child who runs about is just beforeit its nap, whether that bo at noon CT in the middle of the fore noon. Let the water be cool enough to be stimulating, but be careful not to have it so cold as to chill the surface of the body. If the child dreads cool bath, give him thorough wash in warm water and sponge him off quickly after ward with sponge dipped in cold water. This will absolutely prevent taking cold.
 The hand is not good test of the tenn perature of the water, for what would appear cool enough to it would seem positively hot to baby's tender body A bath thermometer is the safesS guide. The room should never bc below 70 de- grees, and the water S5 in summer and 95 in winter.
 Now lift his baby majesty from the tub, stand him on one of the grass Jap anese mats. throw big bath towel around him, and after batting him dry with the towel give quick and gentle hand massage.
 A fat child needs especial care in dry ing between the folds of the skin and creases of fat, and in every case the ears must be particularly attended to, drying them out with a bit of soft linen. Deaf ness often arises from leaving the ears partially dried.
 If the child is accustomed to lunch between breakfast and his noon dinner, give him his bath before the lunch. At least an hour should elapse after eating before going into bath. If baby is too old for the midday nap, then the bath is best given just before retiring-say at o'clock if he has q o'clock supper.
 Do not leave him in the water over five minutes. The whole pEocess of un- dressing, bathing, drying and dressing can be accomPlishedin in l5 minutes.
 Always make the bath happy time.

Money For Inventora.

Apparently Thomas A. Edison spoke ont of the depths of unpleasant personal experience when he told a New York World representative not long since that secrecy was better than a patent in pro tecting an inventors rights. If a young man invented something useful, he should not apply at once for patent on it and thus let all the world know what he has made, in Edison's judgment. He should simply construct the machine he has devised and then himself go into the manufacture of the articles he designed it to make. By this means he will gain such advantage over others in the field who have not his machine that he will beat them and hold it himself.
 This is practical wisdom indeed. Edi- son himself has always said he never made any money from his patents, only from manufacturing. He instances the management of Millionaire Carnegie in his iron mills. The Carnegie system is to be on the lookout constantly for labor saving machinery, and when it is found employ it even at high cost. Labor is
 
 turer's accounts. Whatever will cut down the number of men he is forced to employ will save him that much money.
 To the young inventor, therefore, Edi- son says: Find out some great labor say ing tool, for that is the demand of the time. Keep its plan and processes an absolute secret and begin operations with it yourself. Chemistry is a good field for inventive genius. Edison men tions various manufacturing secrets that have thus been kept for years and have made fortunes for those who owned them. One of them is the London meth cd of dyeing sealskins, which has never been successfully initiated elsewhere in the half century that these skins have been fashionable. By the way, it was an American, a Vermonter, who dis covered sealskin dyeing. Another ex- ample is found in the article known as stub steel. Its manufacture is known to only one family. and in this the secret is handed down from generation to gen eration. Mir. Edison says: The wealth of the modern world has been created by labor saving machinery, but no matter how much labor saving machinery may be invented there will always be enough work for mankind. The great inventor analyzes the career of the Pittsburg iron king as follows:
 Carnegie. who used to be a telegraph operator like myself. has followed the most enlightened business policy. He has surrounded himself in his business with young men who are hustlers, and he has spared no expense to procure labor saving machinery. That combination cannot be beaten in the manufacturing world.

Now that Prince George of Wales is safely married, several stories come up of a previous marriage, illegal, of course, in not having the consent of the sovereign. It is said to have been con summated two or three years ago with the daughter of a naval officer of high rank at Malta, and to have been blessed with two children. The story goes, that the prince expected it would come all right, as long as his elder brother lived to perPetuate the dynasty. When the Duke of Clarence died matters were changed. And the dynastic interest be- came so commanding that Prince George was compelled to give mp his wife and children and contract state marriage. Thus runs the rumor.

 LONDON, July ia.-The house of com mons. sitting in committee, continued the discussion of clause of the home rule bill The clause concerns the question oi Irish representation at Westminster. Ar amendment had been proposed when VII liam Brodrick. Conservative. for the Guild. ford division of Surrey. remarked that tho Irish wore both impeeuniOus and gar rulous, and therein lay two reasons for re ducing their representation in the huuss tc a minimum. Thomas Sexton, anti Tar nellite for North Kerry. interrupted the speaker to say that such language Was grossly impertinent and ought not to b, tolerated in the house The CuionI~ts shouted Withdraw and the Irish cheer ed. Lord Randolph Churchill suggested that MT. Sexton withdraw his words. g. Mir. Brodrick's were not intended for him personally.
 The chairman told Mir. Sexton that he was out of order and must withdraw hi. expressions concerning NIT. Brotlrick . speech. NIT. Sexton expressed his willing ness to obey the chairman in case Mir. Brodrick would first express regret for his language.
 Timothy Healy, anti -Parnellite for North Louth, said he regarded Mir. Sexton's atti tude as quite justifiable. To call tho Irish race impecuniOus and garrulous was to in suit every Irish member who stood by his countrymeD. The Irish cheered. the nion ists shouted their protests and for two or three minutes the house was in an uproar Chairman Mellor appealed to the meln- bers to support him and close the incident
 "I am willing to do anything consistent with my duty to please the prime minister" NIr Sexton said, but considering the gravity ui the insult offered to my country men. have de cided not to make any apology. submit my self to the judgment of the committee"
 Loud Irish cheers greeted this statement The chairman hesitated and finally ordered MT. Sexton to withdraw. Mir. Sexton shouted back hotly:
 such course Is unprecedented. Why am l not named and my conduct submitted to the houseY"
 Irish cheers, CnioniSt shcut~ and cries O. "DivideT' followed this challenge The chairman pulled himself together and with more show of spirit than he had made be fore, repeated his order that MT. Sexton withdraw. MT. Sexton again refused to dc so. The Irish cried, Don't withdrawn
 MT. Gladstone appealed to Nr. Sexton to obey the chairman. MT. Sexton replied with evident reluctance that be would leave his defense with the prime minister Cheers and counter cheers were given when he made this statement.

One is called on to pity the poor sen ators and representatives who must as- semble in the seething hot city of Wash ington in August. Their discomfort is added to by the fact that the capitol is undergoing repairs which cannot be completed before they convene. There will be dust, pounding and hammering unspeakable, and even mortar may be sprinkled over the sacred senatorial per son as it wabbles to and fro in the mar ble halls. Congress can reflect, how ever, that the building over it's head is not in the condition in which it allowed Ford's theater to stand, year after year, while hundreds of its faithful employees risked their lives there daily.
