Her FayOrite Mama.

1t was in a kitchen, where the colorcd
cook and laundress usually entertain
their families and their friends. The
lady OF the house one day discovered a
cunning little mite of Afro American
humanity visiting. The child was So
attractive that a doll was brought
down from the nursery for her.
What yuh say foh date" demanded
the cook. "Why doan yuh tell the
Teddy how yuh thank huh? An ask
huh to name the doll for yuh?"
The child shyly thanked the donor,
put said she wanted to name the doll
herself.
WELL" agreed the cook, but doan
yuh go namin' dat doll no nirgar
names. iuh call huh after Mis- Blank
there"
But the child wouldn't. She had a
pretty name for her doll and wanted to
call it by that. Much inquiry revealed
that the nansc she had been holding in
her heart until she found an object
worthy TO bear it was Abraham
Maude." And by that name was the
treasure known.-N. Y. World.

cause of Dewar going to the old mans

foreign hand, the words spelt in the
oldest English fashion, the missivc

seemed to be an Arabic word engraved
between the coils of a serpent. The ar

there was no such house, no suck

house at all like the one which Dewar
mad described, and the house where he
was knocking and asking for Marie
was as already described half a mile
away, dilapidated and untenanted.

THE FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Republicans to Blame for Present Bu.l-

The republican party cannot evade

are changed, and to n considerable OK.
tent not e without violation Of
pledged faith. 1t is useless to plead
that the last democratic house made
appropriations in excess of the actual
revenues, though within the estimates.
The republican senate largely increased
the house appropriations and insisted
on the greater portion of the increase.
Even then republican claims were
made that the democratic house was
niggardly and Gripping the service by
false economy.
The republican Fifty-first congress set
out to dispense the surplus and II suc.
ceeded but too well. 1t framed a tariff
with the avowed object of reducing i'm.
portations and If possible shutting ont
some articles altogether. thus reducing
revenues ty making duties nearly or
quite prohibitory. The result was at
first not what was expected but the
scheme nov bids fair to succeed. The
revenues are falling, the necessary
expenditures keen on as before. the sur.
plus has disappeared and a deficit is
threatened- all the result Of republic
rapacity and recklessness. -Cleve-

TRUTHS ABOUT TARIFF REFORM.


'" N"l'ih'
1t seems scarcely possible that any.
one should believe that the depression
in business is due to the election OF
Cleveland, and the hope that the need.
less burdens of the people will be re-
moved. Still many persons assert it
very confidently; and. although the
leaders know better, those who take
thelr opinions at secondhand may not,
IN every ease. But the facts of the sit
uatlon, when examined, show that
such assertions are absurd.
During the first half Of the year 1898
the manufacturing business was pros.
porous. 1t was perfectly well known
all the time that a reform of the tariff
was contemplated, but there was no
panic. Forty-eight textile companies
were organized in the south during the
six months ended June 30, 1898, while
but th%irty-one were organized in the
corresponding part of 1892. The cotton
mills actually set in operation during
this period are put by the Textile
World at twenty-four against forty
during the first half of 1882: but the
same authority says that the mills this
year were of good size and IN strong
hands, and that their productive ca.
pacity will compare favorably with
those started last year. The same
paper says that the dividends of the
Fall River mills for May, June and
July last averaged 2.al per cent. or at
the rate of nearly nine per cent. per
annum. OF mills for knitted goods
hfty-one were opened during the first
half Of 1898, against forty-eight in the
corresponding part of 1892.
Now, it is very plain that If the pros
pect OF tariff reform had been going to
paralyze business. ii would have begun
operations directly after the election.
instead OF that, we find manufacturers
building and opening new mills, and or.
ganizing new companies for the purpose
building and opening others. Every.
hing was promising until the disturb
in the money market, the CLOSING
banks and the violent contraction of
'redlts paralyzed at once the producers
to manufacture, the MERCHANTS
o sell and the consumers to buy. As
he money market shows signs of i'm.
'rovement with the prospect of the re.
zeal OF the sherman act, mills and fac.
cries, Fast and west, begin to start I'm
gam as was shown by the reports Of
ne past week. These incidents point
ut Enthusiastically at once the u Of
he trouble and the remedy.
There is no panic material in tariff
eform. The people have demanded II
" a decisive vote. Some few favored
may fear it, but to the masses
