The Training of Girls.

The foundation of society rests on its homes. The success of our homes rests on the wives Therefore, first of all. tHaeh our girls how to be success ful wives. Begin in their infancy to develop their characters. Teach them that jealousy is an immortality, and gossip vice. Train them to keep the smallest promise as sacrcdly as an oath, and to speak of people only as they would speak to them. Teach them to look for the best quality in everyone they meet, and to notice other peoples faults only to avoid them. Train them to do small things well and to delight in helping others, and instill constantly into their minds the necessity for sacrifice for others pleasure as a means of soul develop ment. Once given a firm foundation of character like this, which the poor est as well as the richest can give to their girls, and no matter what neccs- sity arises, they will be able to rise above it.-Womankind.

LAKE DISASTER.
Twenty-four Lives Lost by a Collision on Lake HuroD.g

SAND BEACH, Mich, Nov. S.-The propeller Albany, of the Western Tran sit Co.,, loaded with grain, and the pro- peller Philadelphia, Anchor line, laden with coal and merchandise, collided off Port aux Barques in dense fog, and sunk in two hundred feet of water. The captains of both boats with twenty-one men got ashore at o'clock. The Philadelphia struck the Albany head on forward of the two gang ways. All hands got on the Philadel- phia. She lowed the Albany half an hour when the Albany sank. The Philadelphia went down thirty minutes after. Both crews left in two boats, but only one reached shore.
 Life-saving crews were out all morn ing and found boat No. ? upside down. They picked up eleven bodies with life. preservers on, and it is supposed that the whole crew of twenty-four men are drowned, eight of the Albany's crew and the balance of the Philadel- phia's crew. The bodies were put on the steamer Concord, bound south. The harbor master at Sand Beach is searching for the rest of the bodies with the tug Sand Beach.
 The Albany was bound from Chicago to Buffalo with grain and general mer- chandise, and the Philadelphia was bound from Buffalo to Duluth with coal and miscellaneous cargo. Both were steel steamers. The Albany was built in Detroit in 1884, was worth s160, 900, and is believed to be partially insured. The Philadelphia was built Ey David Bell, at Buffalo in 1867, and was valued at sSO,O00.

WILSON'S CELLAR COMMITTEE.
Democratic Plotting Against the Prosper itY of the People.

Democratic Plotting Against the Prosper ity of the People.
 Day after day the democratic mem bers of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives locked themselves up in an obscure committee room in the depths of the basement of the capitol at Washington and devoted themselves to the work of destroying the protective tariff. They were pre- pairing tariff for revenue only" bill which will of course be called the "Wilson bill," after the chairr ian of the committee, when it sees the light. The republican members of the commit
 tee were excluded from the room. Each
 democratic member carried key, by
 means of which he obtained access;
 the door was kept jealously locked so
 that no prying reporter, no inquisitivc
 republican, could obtain an inkling of
 what was going on.
 The place and the manner of pro-
 cedure had certain fitness A locked
 room in a cellar is a fitting place
 wherein to carry on the work of the destruction of American industries.
 We wonder if this handful of southern
 bourbons and northern doughface dem ucrats realized the magnitude of the in- terests with which they were dealing?
 The New York Press figures them up from the official estimates as follows:
 Cpaita Invested ...................s5,0 900 GOO 900 Annual value of products. ....,...... 90O0,010NOO Number of persons employed. d...... 0,OO00OJ
 The humber of workers directly em- ployed in manufacturing and mining is six millions Taking into the calcula- tion their families, there are at least twenty million men, women and chil- dren directly dependent upon these two great lines of industry for their living How will the work that was shaping in the capitol cellar affect these millions of Americans? It was cutting down the duties levied on imported articles This will mean that there will be an enormous increase in the sale of foreign made goods of all kinds. Every dol lars worth more that is bouk Int abroad means a dollars worth less manufac- tured here. Hence, there will be less manufacturing, less opportunity for labor.
 Again, # is as plain as pikestaff thatj if protection be removed, the for cign and American manufacturers will be placed on the same level. The one who can sell the cheapest will get the trade. Wages are lower abroad than here; hence it costs less to manufacture goods there, as labor is the largest item of production. Therefore the for. eigner can undersell the American manufacturer The latter must then either close hIs factory or reduce the cost of production; and to do this he must reduce the wages paid. So the al- formative to the workingman will be, either no work or much less wages. Lower wages means lower scale of living, as to food, clothing, and all the necessaries and comforts of life.
 This is the work that was going on in the cellar of the capitol. A band of conspirators were there. shaping bill which would cut wages and give less work to the masses of the Ameri- can people, They were conspiring against the prosperity, the comfort and the happiness of the toiling masses.

A SIMPLE CASE.
How Protection Works in the State of
 Kansas.

How Protection Works In the State of Kansas.
 Topeka, which is in Kansas, takes first prize at the worlds fair for the production of vitrified brick, which is near to the best, if not absolutely the best, paving material Hutchinson, which also is in Kansas, carried off the honors against all competitors for re- fined table salt-and England was among the competitors. Topeka and Hutchinson have material enough at command to supply all the United States with paving material and salt: all that they need is more factories and enlarged facilities of transporta- ton.
 Vitrified brick is protected by tariff duty Of forty-tive per cent, salt by d slight duty. When there was no duty on salt. Michigan-Kansas was then in territorial condition--had to nurse q feeble life in its salt industries by a bounty derived from state taxes, and salt sold at one dollar and sixty cents per barrel. Under protection the salt industry of Michigan and of Kansas has grown to gigantic proportions, and salt sells at thirty cents barrel. Wit ritied brick is u manufacture created by tariff, and certain to perish if tariff protection is removed.
 The people engaged in the manu- fracture of vitrified brick and salt con sumc farm products, but do not raise them. That is to say, they increase the demand for farm products. When the demand is great the price is high. Popullst farmers complain of the low price of their products; that is to say, they admit that the production is in ex- cess of the demand. Yet they join hands with southern planters, who de- sire chcapness in northern farm prod ucts, to abolish tariff that protects industries that increase the demand for food. The populist policy is peculiarly rrational. l.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

After crushing the revolt Hippolyte held public reception and called tention to the strength of the government and warned its enemies that no mercy would be shown hereafter.

BERLIN, Nov. S.-The National Zeit- ung has received letter from Jaffa, a town of Palestine, under date of Octo- Der 2e, which states that the body of a German, of the name of Meissner, who was lately wandering in Palestine, was discovered on October 24 partially mangled by hyenas. It is evident he had committed suicide. Meissnes, it is believed, was the bank messenger from whom Rector Ahlwardt, who was sem fenced in Leipsic for libeling the He- brew firm of Lowe & Co, obtained the papers which reflected on Lowe. Meiss- ner often denounced Ahlwardt and his associates as the cause Of his ruin.

Why have we passed in six months from the most un- exampled plenty to condition of ab- ject depression?
