1t is said that when a native of Hawai-
wishes to give evidence of his sorrow
at the loss of a kinsman he goes to some
secluded spot and endeavors to knock out
one Of his front teeth. In case it is his
maiden effort at mourning, relates the
Atlanta Constitution, the bereaved not
unfrequently bungles the job, and on
looking over the debris often finds that
he has knocked out couple or more.
II the griet stricken party, however, lacks
the nerve or dstrusts his prowess tc
accomplish the tooth's displacement, a
dear and obIiging frienl is always at
hand to offer his assistance. As result
Of this custom man of middle age is
often short so many teeth that gastronom.
ers are embarrassed IN eating theiI
food. American dentists will do land
office business in Hawaii if the United
States annexes the islands.

The New York Tribune maintains that
there Las been no revelation in the pro.
duction of cotton since Whitney in.
vented the gin and took the "seeding"
OF it out of the hands of the old women
and chiidrea. Now, no gever, there is
prospect OF another great change.
Over 500 machines have been invented
in the last twenty years for picking the
cotton from the boil, and all have failed
to give satisfaction. But still another is
to be tested, and cotton men believe it
will be successful. 1t will pick, it is
said, 10000 pounds day. An ordin.
ary field hand can pick of the short
staple about $50 pounds day, and Of
the long staple about $50, so that the
new machine will do the work of about
forty men. Fifty cents hundred poua Is
is considered fair wages In the cotton
'el'. The machine, therefore, will earn
$50 day.

new State out Of the northern section

squarely around and look the Lieutenant

Protection Is q Principle.

New York Press: The folly and in
justice OF the clamor of certain ADleri-
can interests for "free raw materials
is so manifest that it has aroused pro-
tests from British free trade news
papers In an editorial regarding the
probable course of the next congress
with respect to the tariff, the Brad
ford Observer, published in the great
est WOODEN manufacturing center OF
England, comments sharply on the
abusurdily and selfishness of the de
mand for free raw materials. 1t de-
declares that 'the American farmer
e%vinces no disposition to be per-
suaded by his ingenious wooei," and
that sit is inconceivable that he would
submit TO make the manufacturer n
present OF free wool without any cor.
responding advantage to himself"
This statement, from an unquestioned
free trade source, is directly in line
with the position OF the Press and o.
every sincere American protectionist.
1t applies with equal force 20 coal
iron and every kind of raw material
which the United States is capable OF
producing in quantities sufficient for
it's own use.
Protection Is not a mere makeshift.
1t is not a measure of e~xpsdiency, de
vised to enable manufacturers TO
make money at the expense of other
classes OF the community. 1t is a
broad and fundamental principle, that
applies to the wool grower as well as
to the wooden manufacturer, to the
man who mines the iron as well as to
the man vino makes it into finished
implements and machines, to the pro-
duct that goes into the mill as we'll a.
to the product that comes out of it.
No product OF human labor can Justly
be considered as raw material" The
wool of the farmer and the ore of the
miner are the finished products of the
men whose industry brings them to
the condition where they are fit fol-
use in the factory and the mill. The
man with twenty sheep is entitled to
protection as much as tina manufac-
turer who employs a thousand ope-
f3ttlNtS. 1nt rugged miner, whose
wagas mean bread and comfort to tn,
wife andllttle ones, has the same right
TO demand protection for his product
as the proprietor of the great mills
that are capable of turning out steel
nrmor plates that weigh n score oi
tons.
1t il the glory of the protective sys

called raw materials free of duty ana
the primary principle OF protection Is

circumstances al instrument for per,

can people will never consent to legis

mand the abolition OF duties on tn.

and the interests of the nation.

Was Elected In 1854.

New York Press: The statement of
Rev. DIR. Macarthur in his mt on
Sunday that he believed Mr.. Blaine
was cheated out of the presidency ] n
1884 after he was fairly elected by the
votes of the people. revives an old
story. Many prominent Republicans
at least share DR.. McArthur's belief,
and it would be interesting if the mat
ter could be e ttled. But it is likely
always to remain a disputed question.
Mr.. Blaine himself believed that the
ballots in this state were manipulated
so as to give Mr.. Cleveland the electo-
raj vote of the state. / asked him
about the matter several years ago..
He said: az do not care to be inter
viewed on the matter as it will do no
good now, but l will say to you per-
sonally that / believe | was elected in
1854. ! believe enough Butler votes
were counted for Mr.. Cleveland in this
city and Kings county to defeat the
Republican party"
"Have you any proof of this?" l
said to Mr.. Blaine
"Yes," he replied, "plenty of proof.
and a great deal of it comes from Dem
cratic sources, too"
"Why not make it public?"
Mr.. Blaine shook his head. "Not
now" he said. perhaps / may some
time-after / am dead and gone,'' he
added. Mr.. Blaine's private papers
may he found to contain some inn
portant information on this subject,
| which will be of value to the future
historian. He always said he did not
believe Mr.. Cleveland vas a party to
the fraud-that he probably had no
personal knowledge of it. In express
ing this opinion Mr.. Blaine evinced
characteristic generosity toward his
opponent.
