Robbing a Prison.

1t is perfectly natural that thieves
should be sent to pr son for having
stolen, but it is somewhat OF nov
city that they should OF their own
free will and accord go thereto
steal.
This is, however the novel expert
ence of the governor and wardens of
the largest penitentiary In Hungary,
which is situated in Oldenburg, a
few hours distance from Vienna
This establishment which is known
as Steinabruchl, contains at the pres
ent moment 500 convicts OF various
categories and 100 wardens and
watchmen-seemingly a sufficiently
large guard to prevent untoward oc-
currcnces like that which lately took
place.
Two or three burglars broke into
the prison in the middle of the night,
ana hunted about for spoil. They
were evidently acquainted with the
building, for they contrived to re-
move articles Of value, silver and
gold, beside matter Of l,S00 horin"
Tn hard cash.

MANY industries have grown up en-
tirely under the workings of protective
tariff. Those employed in these enter
prises have never known anything else
than protection and have never learned
to appreciate it by its absence. Having
enjoyed favor long its benefciaries are
likely to esteem it lightly from the fact
that they have never experienced the
workings of less meritorious system.
Such was the feeling in '92, when the
workingmen of the country, angered at
the Republican party because strike
had happened at Homestead, listened to
the sophistries and false promises of the
Democracy and voted the latter party
into power. Now that they are exper
iencing the effects of the near repeal of
the system under which they had lived
SO long, they appreciate its benefits the
more, and there are abundant evidences
that only an opportunity is needed to
cause the people of the country to again
express their confidence in Republican
ism and return the party of protection
to power. The lesson is learned at
tremendous cost, but the end may make
it worth the suffering and loss it has
brought upon the people, and learned in
that way, it would seem that it ought
not soon to be forgotten.

PUBLIC OPINION.
THEY MADE THEIR BED.

THEY MADE THEIR BED.
Cincinnati Tribune
The Philadelphia Record is con-
sistent free-trade paper, but they can
not pull the wool over the eyes of work
ingmen with such a statement as this:
The observant workingman will note
that reductions in wages have been of
constant occurrence in nearly every part
of the country during the last six
months. This has happened in spite of
enormous protective duties levied osten-
sibly for the purpose of preventing any
wage reduction. Is any better proof
needed that tariffs do not regulate
wages?
Why, there is not workingman in the
United States but knows that the re-
duction of wages, idle factories, and
listless wheels began when Democracy
came into power, or before, when its
triumph marked the return of free
trade epoch. Mills are idle because
manufacturers can not afford to accum-
ulate stock, when they are unable to
form an ineligible idea as to the price
the goods will bring in the markets OF
the future. You have made your bed
and must lie therein. 1t will not be
comfortable, but don't blame the Repub-
licaus for the burrs you find between
the sheets.

ninrham and His cane in Japan.

At no court in the world is the same
unbending formality observed and insist
ed upon as that which characteriZes the
Toxic court. says the Cadiz Republican
in relating the following anecdote OF
Judge Bingham. Only one person, up to
date. has ever been able to break through
that formality, and it is hardly worth
while to say that person was an Ameri-
can. 1t was Judge Bingham, of Cadiz,
Ohio. who had just entered upon his du-
ties as American Envoy to Japan. There
is an iron clad rule that no one can enter
the palace with either cane or umbrella
The Judge had occasion to visit the pal
ace on business, and when he alighted
from his carriage at the palace door car
ried the stick in his hand which grew ia
miliar to the public as part and parcel OF
the Judge during the days of the Surratt
trial, after the war
A lackey stopped him at the entrance
and told him he would have to leave
his stick in his carriage. Now, look
here, young man" said the Judge, in a
tone which was in the habit of carrying
conviction with it, that cane and have
travelled together for twenty years, and
we're not going to part this late in the
day. If 1 am going into that palace ii

feel authorized to turn the American
Minister away, and SO he carried his cane
on in. 1t was said that after that Judge
Bingham could:have gone into the throne
room with his hat on and no one would
have dared to molest him.

ANGER AND LOvE.-Man has an un-
fortunate readiness in the evil hour after
receiving an affront to draw together all
the moon-spots on the other person into
an outline of shadow and night piece
and to transform single deed into a
whole life, and this only in order that he
may thoroughly relish the pleasure of
being angry. In love he has fortunately
the opposite faculty of crowding together
all tee light parts and rays of its object
in one focus, by means of the burning
glass of imagination, and letting in it's
sun without its spots; but he too gener-
ally does this only when the beloved and
often censured being is already beyond
the skies. In order. however, that we
should do this sooner and oftener, we
ought to act like Winckleman, but only
in another way. AS he sat aside par
ticular half hour of each day for the pur
pose of behOlding and meditating on his
too happy existence OF Rome. so we
ought daily or weekly to dedicate and
sanctify solitary hour for the purpose
of summing up the virtues of our fami-
lies, our wives, our children, and our
friends, and viewing them in this beau
tiful crowded assemblage of their good
qualities. Indeed we should do 80 for
this reason, that we may not forgive and
love too late, when the beloved beings
are already departed hence, and are be
yOnd our reach.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers are boasting
that the numerous protests from work.
ingmen against the Wilson bill and also
the result of the late elections are having
no effect on the Ways aud Means Com
mittee. Rather than rejoice at such
proceeding any sensible Democrat would
rebuke the action. If the Ways and
Means Committee will listen to no ex-
postulation or reasoning, so much the
greater will be their responsibility in the
defeat which must inevitably follow
such a course. None but despots car
deny the people hearing, and while the
Ways and Means Committee may con.
tinue their autocratic sway for awhile
so much greater will be the retributior
when it does come.

GOVERNOR WAITE of Colorado, has a
great mind. Since Congress has refused
to continue the coinage of silver, he in
tends to have his State.go into the bust
ness and he will call special session
of the Legislature to take action looking
to the coinage of silver by the State. II
is not at all certain that a quorum OF
the Legislature will respond to his call
for there are said to be a good many
men in the Colorado Legislature
possessing some sense, but at any rate
he will make the attempt. The Gov
ernor will doubtless discover ere he
proceeds very far that the general gov
eminent will take care of all coinage
matters, but it is pity for the good
name of Colorado that such an ass can
not be suppressed.

Five hundred lives were lost, directly
or indirectly, through the Worlds Fair.
During the period of construction there
were 32 deaths on the grounds, a number
far less than those which occurred during
the erection of the buildings in Philadel-
phia in 1876, or in France in 1889. The
number of visitors that died ON the Fair
grounds was 36. A great many were
killed on railways leading to Chicago,
and scores in the great city died from
causes indirectly traceable to the Fair.
