The reciprocity treaty With Hawaii was
negotiated in 1875. and was renewed at its
expiration for another seven years by
President Cleveland, who enlarged IL by
adding two articles ceding TO rs Pearl
River Harbor The Mckinley act of octo-
Der. 1880, practically nuliified the free
sugar clause concession of this treaty, bat
whether this notification of free sugar
cession Of Pearl Harbor may be uncertain.
bat in equity IL would seem that If Hawaii
lost her concession of free sugar We would
lose orr concession OF Pearl Harbor.

The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee in reporting the
Wilson tariff bill practically admit that
this bill is not a pure tariff for revenue
ball, but that certain of the schedules are
framed with view to affording protection
to manufacturers. Thus. while declaring
that protective tariff is unconstitutional.
they are willing TO permit the constitution
TO be violated for few years more. The
new tariff bill is no more "a tariff for rev.
enue only" bill than the Morrison and
Mills bills were.

Mourning Stationery.

Few things give a moro unpleasant
shock to a sensitive person than to have
card sent to him which has a black
border around it half an inch deep or to
get letter in an envelope with a like
border. The first moment until he chances
at the name upon the card or opens the
envelope is so fraught with frightful pos
sibilities that it becomes real agony. The
mind flies involuntarily to absent ones
he loves most tenderly. The thought
stabs him like a knife: What if
The effect, while not so startling, is
fully as unpleasant when in car or at
church the beholder's eye falls upon a
whole family clad in dead. terrible black
from head to foot It is horror to hui
manity this awful fashion of wearing
mourning. It makes half the world a
grievous, saddening sight to the other
half And when. as is sometimes the
case. the whole matter of putting on
mourning apparel is a mere piece OF
vanity, it becomes not only a melancholy
reminder to the spectator, but down
right sinful hypocrisy. There is woe
enough in every human breast for itself
without constantly being reminded Of
others VICE. It is selfish to obtrude ou1
unhappiness upon others.
If the dictates of fashion require that
mourning must be worn, at least let vi
have none of that wretched mourning
stationery, those frightful i'll omenef
black cards and envelopes, that SHOCK
and unnerve sensitive persons. At least
too, let those who wear the weeds Of WOO
carry white handkerchiefs.

One of the things that will make coun-
try life more agreeable is the electric
street car. Before many years lines of
these cars will be running through every
thickly settled neighborhood. Instead
of having to take his farm horses from
the plow or wagon whenever an errand
to the next village must be done, it will
only be necessary for the rural inhab-
liant to wait till the electric car comes
along, board it and go to the postofice or
country store in a jiffy and back again
by the same means of transit. The cleo
trio car is cheaper than the horse car.
The tracks can be easily laid at the sides
of the wide roadway. Such lines, too,
would quickly increase the population of
a country neighborhood. They might
now be established in many localities
which the steam railway has not yet
penetrated. =. They could easily connec,
towns which now have no means of com.
munication except by horse and carriage

Ex-Secretary Of Agriculture Rusk
characterizes in terms Of contempt the
idea Of producing rainfall BY explosives.
He predicts that it will die out shortly
along with its twin absurdity, the fly
ing machine" Take care, Uncle Jerryl
Rainfall by explosives probably will not
work. But nothing is more likely than
that rainfall will be controlled in some
other way by science in future, and that
not very far in the future either. Every
great idea meets with many failures be
fore it is successfully wrought out in
matter, but it always gets there all the
same. AS to that other 'absurdity," the
flying machine, it is almost safe to pre-.
dict that Uncle Jerry himself will take
trip in an airship before he dies. At
least if he does not there are those now
living who will.

A PENNSYLVANIA Idea.

Alawyer of Pittsburg H. Ste
venson has the honor to be his name-has
drafted and sent for introduction into
the Pennsylvania legislature bill that
is worthy of notice. It is bill provid-
ing that no man addicted to the habit Of
drinking Intoxicating liquors shall be
appointed to any statutory Office in that
state. Being addicted to the habit Of
drinking Intoxicating liquors" is inter
preted by this act to mean that a man
has been publicly intoxicated within one
year previous to his appointment. The
word publicly leaves a large hole in
! this would be statute.
Then Mr.. Stevenson's act names the
officers whom it is intended to affect.
. They include administrators and guardi-
ans, commissioned officers of state mi
litia, policemen and fremen and all Off
GERS created by special law or statute.
This would probably include teachers in
the public schools if such thing had
ever been known as a schoolteacher's
getting drunk. The peculiar feature OF
this would be law is, however, in its
postscript or last clause, 1T will not
affect members Of the legislature.
I Why not members of the legislature
8 There can only be one explanation. Mem
& bers of the Pennsy lyania legislature must
be such teetotal temperance men thai
there was no need to include them un
der the law against men who get drunk
3 holding affse i is odd, too, for mem
bers Of congress and of legislatures gen
orally are not averse to intoxicating
drinks. But not Pennsylvania legisla
tors, as we see from Mr.. Stevensons law
They never are drunk. ALLOW US here
with to hold up the Pennsylvania legis
lators to the gaze Of an admiring worl'
{ as the only state legislators in Americ
who never become intoxicated.

How to Fight Monopolies.

. .
The editor of German American
newspaper calls attention to the fact
that the small business man is more and
more crowded to the wall and being
ruined by the present system Of great i'll
dustrial corporations. Capitalists unite
their funds and their intelligence to man
ufacture and sell articles more cheaply
than the small maker or dealer possibly
can. They put their goods on the mar
ket and ruin him. s..:..- E.,ss
It is the history Of one industry after
another until at present large proper
ton of the great branches Of manufac-
ture all over the country are consolidat-
ed, each under one management. It is
true that under this management the
manufactured articles are Of good quail
ity and the price Of them is in some cases
cheaper than it was before. But the in
Jury done to the individual tradesman
or manufacturer is the serious and I'M
pleasant feature Of the present tendency
But there is no use fighting the cur
rent. The consolidating tendency of in
dustry at the close of the nineteenth
century is one Of the most significant
signs Of the times It is literally the
idea of cooperation applied in the ways
that are not always right or agreeable.
But the poor workingmen, the small
tradesmen. have the remedy in their own
hands. Let them not oppose the co.
operative current. They cannot do it
Z. It is too strong for them, and they will
only break themselves against it.. Let
them swim with it. Take 1000 work
ingmen in any city. Let them contrib
ute $40 apiece. There would be a work
ing capital Of $4,000. With this they
could start a coz operative store or grocery
or coal business that would be the be
ginning Of a great success. Or let then
pay 800 apiece in installments. There
, would be in short time 100000. nu
:, cleus Of capital that could be the begin
ming Of a great manufa curing success.
Whatever. the average working peopl
Of any town or city want to do in tn
way Of trade and manufacture they cal
do by uniting. The present bloated me
nopolies which are complained Of wer
q made by few men with large capital
2 Intelligent labor can accomplish tn
q same results by means Of many me-
81 with small capital.
