The Duong Chacr affair Is already compara-
lively old question. which has been the gossip OF
the boulevards The Prince is son OF Norodoil'
the King OF Cambodia, now under the proteciorate
OF France. The young man is rather restless. ana
his father wishes TO be protected against ms
pranks. This would be easily attained by the In
ternment OF Duong Chacr in Algeria. The same
measure would free the French Government from
the complaints published by the Cambodian Prince
in the Paris OF his alleged ill-treatment at
the hands OF NJ. de Verneville. the French resi-
dent at Pnom-Penh. and the non-payment OF
money due by France to the young man. Duong
Chacr has posed defender Of Camboda' s
independence. and IL he ever should return TO his
country he might embarrass the French proteco-
rate there. well as his father Norodom.
All these troubles will be avoided by the
pulsory residence OF the Prince ir Algeria Just as
the internment OF Abdel Kader, the Algerian pa
triot, at Ambose, Pau and Beyrout. delivered the
Government OF Louis Philippe from the dangers
OF insurrection. Duong Chacr has resided in
Paris for some months past, living miserably upon
small pittance. 1t was said that he spent at the

TAXABLE,

a Circular From the Treasury Department
that Is Far-Reaching.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The treasury
department has issued a circular which,
in it's far-reaching effect, is loaded to
the muzzle." 1t reads:
OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. T. 1893.
To Collectors Of Internal Rerenue and Revenue
agents:
1t has come to the knowledge OF this Of
fee through published news items. by CORE
spondence and otherwise that banks are iSSu-
ing certificates OF deposit payable in the money
or currency OF the United States, and that these
obligations of the banks negotiable notes, car
rying title in their circulation from hand to
hand. are paid out and used for circulation in
lieu of the money of the United States.
Such ssues are taxable. and you will inquire
them to this ONCE for assessment Of the taxes
incurred. JOSEPH H. MILLER,
Commissioner.
The taxable rate Of such issues as de-
scribed in the circular is 10 per cent
on the dollar. The number now in cir
culation is believed to be very heavy,
as they have taken the place during
the financial stringency of currency or
money. Whether the issues include
clearinghouse certificates is question
treasury officials decline to discuss, in
timating that the question is legal
one that may call for judicial deci-
sion from the courts.

TARIFF HEARINGS.

Manufacturers Tell why Metallic Bed
steads and Macaroni Need Protection.
WASHINGTON. Sept. THE hearing
before the ways and means committee
was resumed yesterday, and MIR. w. ..
Witcomb, president of the Witoomb
Metallic Bedstead Co., of Birmingham,
Conn, made an argument in favor of
retaining the present tariff, which he
considered fair.
A. j. Toomey, member of the New
York produce exchange, and a manu-
facturer of high-grade macaroni. adj
vocated the retention of the present
duty of two cents a pound on imported
macaroni. He based his request on tn,
difference in wages in the United State
and Italy.
In his factory sixteen men received
s160 in a week, an average of $40 a
week each, and twenty-three girls re-
ceived sos, an average of about $3.50
each per week.
In Italian factories sixteen men re-
ceived $40 in week, an average Of 50
per week each, and thirty-three girls
receive $3.50 in week, an average of
eighty cents per week each. 1--WE pay
$25s week for labor where they pay
$751;" said Mr.. Toomey.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Republican orators may jeer and
partisan organs may gibe, but they
cannot wipe out the cold fact that the
Mckinley bill is in full force and oper-
ation.-St. Paul Globe
The improvement in the times is
playing havoc with that republican
theory about the people being stam-
peded by fear that the tariff taxes
are to be reduced.-N. Y. World.
Mr.. Cleveland was q logical demo
cratic candidate last year. Mr.. Neal
of Ohio is logical democratic candi-
date this year. Democracy is logical
every year and all the time. whether
Mr. Cleveland is in or out of the white
house--St. Louis Republic.
a republican exchange thinks it
|significant that the Ohio democrats
have decided to open their campaign in
Licking county. Well, as Gov. Nc
Kinley is to receive the chastisement
there ought to be no difficulty in locat-
ing the application.-N. Y. World.
In the makeup of the ommittee
on ways and means Mr.. Crisp has exer-
cised his appointing power in a manner
which must call for the unqualified and
undivided endorsement of the demo-
cratic party throughout the country.
He has made it essentially q tariff re-
form committee. With Mr.. Wilson to
lead, and Mr.. McMillin and Mr.. Cock
ran tn assist him, there is an absolute
assurance that the performance of the
democratic promise of q tariff for reve-
nue. only will not be long delayed.
Mr.. Wilson has. been consistent advo-
cate of tariff reform both in and out OF
congress. and his ability to lead the
democratic forces in congress on this
subject is conceded-Albany Argus.

THE CAM ELL
Most Picturesque Description of the MOI
Ricfuresuue Mode of Moflou.

Most Picturesque Description of the Most
Picturesque Mode Of Motion.
Miss Amelia B. Ed wards wrote the
most appropriate description of that
almost indescribable method of locomo-
ton known as camel-riding. 1t may
appeal to some of those more daring
spirits we have seen with looks of ill
suppressed agony on their faces while
a camel plays cup and ball with their
unresisting forms. This is it:
ssThe camel has his virtues, SO much
at least must be admitted, but they do
not lie on the surface. My Button tells
me, for instance, that he carries wa
ter cistern in his stomach, which is
meritorious. But the cistern anchor
ates neither his gate nor his temper,
which are abominable. Irreproachable
as beast of burden, he is open
to many objections as steed. 1t is
not pleasant to ride a beast which not
only objects to being ridden, but which
cherishes strong personal antipathy
to the rider. You know he hates you
from the moment You walk around
him, hesitating where and how to be-
gin the ascent of his hump. He does
not hesitate to tell You SO in the round
est terms. He swea-s freely while you
are taking your seat, snarls if you but
move in the saddle, and stares angrily
around at you if you attempt to move
him it any direction save that in which
he himself intended to go. If you per-
sist he tries to bite your feet. IF
biting your doesn't answer, he
lies down. Now, the lying
down and getting up of a
camel are performances designed ex-
pressly to infiict grievous bodily harm
upon the rider. Thrown twice forward
and twice backward, punched in his
s'wind" and damaged in his spine, the
luclless novice receives four distinct
shocks, each more sudden and unex-
pected than the last. For this execra-
BILE hunchback is fearfully and won
derfully made. He has superAuous
joint somewhere in his legs and uses it
to revenge himself upon mankind.
s'His PAGES, however, are more COM
plicated than his joints and more tryl
ing than his temper. He has four-a
shot walk, like the rolling of a small
boat in a chopping sea: long walk,
which dislocates every bone in your
body; trot that reduces you to i'm
beodlity, and gallop that is sudden
death. Chicago Post

THE TARIFF NOT TO BLAME.

A Business View Of the Present Financial
Situation.
The New York Tribune cartoons a
crowd of workingmen waving hats and
shouting in 1892 to a speech by Waiter
son proclaiming free trade and de-
nouncing protection, and, as compan-
ion piece, represents the same crowd in
1898 detected, leaving the yards of the
closed mills. ''They wanted a change
''They got it" This is but a variation
of story that we are hearing much of
in these days of financial stringency.
Demagogues are trying to exact from
the common misfortunes what of cap
ital for their party they can; wreckers
lining the storm-beaten beach gather
ing the hotsam.
A year ago the Boston Herald report
ed the remark of one of the most ex-
tensive manufacturers in the state, who
said: "We will elect Harrison, but we
are going to have serious trouble. We
are manufacturing too much" In other
words, the manufacturers had caught
the speculative spirit or had been
caught by it, and were discounting the
markets.
Thomas Dolan is manufacturer of
woOlens, largely OF pushes, in Phila-
delphia- He is also president of the
Manufacturers club of that city, which
claimed to have furnished the means
which elected Harrison in 49, His club
publishes the Manufacturer, journal
devoted to maintaining the theory that
a nation gets rich by taxing its citizens.a
Mr.. Dolan, in an interview in the In
guirer, says: 81 believe that the de-
preston is almost wholly due to the
silver policy. If the alarm was due to
the victory of the democrats, why was
it not manifested last November? The
people knew then. as well as they know
now, that it was within the power of
the new administration to repeal the
tariff laws, yet no uheasiness was felt
In fact, the wooden business went along
swimmingly until the LIST of July
The Boston Herald supplements this
positive statement of man who is in
a position to know what he talks of
Ia staunch republican protectionist-
with the gentler process of persuasive
reasoning. What would have been
the result had there come no financial
depression but with radical changes in
the tariff impending? Naturally, man
ufacturers in the lines affected would
have begun to diminish product This
