1t was the last of December, and the

reach the Office by half-past ten, and
probably catch Mr.. Fitzgerald on his
arrival at his desk.
Next morning he arose at four, and
when he left the house he had sixty
minutes in which to walk four miles,

1t was so ample that he would have
had fifteen minutes to spare if the
home clock had been right As it was,
he arrived at the station in time to see
the train rapidly disappearing around
a curve on its way to New York. He
laughed good-naturedly with the bag

next down train was Cue.
'Seven-thirty, sharp. You'll not

As patent leather shoes, even of the

To keep the leather soft rub it occa-
sionally with little sweet oil, rub
bling the oil in as much as possible, and
then wipe the shoes thoroughly with
chamois. If you must continue to wear
your shoes after the glaze is cracked,
buy or make good varnish and keep
the shoes dressed with it. A good var
nish is made from quarter of a pound
of powdered gum arabic and two ounces
of logwood. Cover with pint of claret
and simmer very slowly quarter of an
hour. Strain, bottle and label. Apply
with the tips of the fingers or with a
soft black flannel. Before using see
that the shoes are free from dust or

SAIUTED A WHALE.

Exchange of Courtesies Between "A Steam
ship and an Ocean Monster.
Ell Norte is steamship which swings
between this port and New Orleans
with pendulum-like regularity. The
reports of strange marine happenings
which her officers make are about as
uniform. Not long ago she found her
way into the newspapers, when Chle1
Officer Benson told about fleet of
phantom schooners which he had OBJ
served riding in the atmosphere off
Cape Hatteras.
The boat got into harbor the other
day with some observations about
whales recorded in her logbook. Capt.
Hawthorne is skipper of the craft, but
he does not come into this story at all.
The second officer, who will have moth
ing to do with that sort of distinction
which is given by printers ink, says
that Ell Norte was logging along, at
tending to her own business, when
big whale suddenly appeared directly
ahead and about one mile away. The
locality is given as eight miles south
east by south of the Scotland lightship.
His whaleship, the second officer
said, headed directly for Ell Norte and
was swishing through the water at a
rate that would have been the envy OF
torpedo boat.
There are some international rules
about the conduct of craft that are
about to meet head on, but collisions
with whales have not been considered
The second officer was therefore at
loss to know just what to do. Tn
whale relieved his perplexity by put
ting his tail to starboard and going
sputtering past the steamship. Ht
spouted three times as he went by and
not to be outdone in courtesy, the shil
dipped her flag three times in acknowl
edgement of the salute.
The whale dived, reappeared again
and then headed Gown the coast, prob
ably to fill an engagement as sea ser
pent off Long Branch. The engine
of Ell Norte, which had been slowed
began to sob again and the rest of thu
story is not worth printing n. Y

DELAY OF THE TARIFF.
Democrats Responsible for the TropSfA
Over the Wilson Bill.

Democrats Responsible for the TropStA
Over the Wilson Bill.
What is the meaning of this struggle
within the democratic party over the
tariff? The democratic president went
into Office nearly seventeen months
ago. He had it in his power to call, AZ
that moment, an extra session of con.
gress, democratic in both branches, ia
carry out the pledge which he and his
party had made, of tariff reduction
free trade practically. The seventeeu
months have passed, and with them
nearly twelve months of actual sessions
of congress, and yet this democratic
congress and administration have NOT
succeeded in putting UPON the statuts
books a new tariff law.
What does it mean? Simply that
while free trade, or even low tariff, IL
very popular in theory it is not good
in practice. 1t is like the boil. the only
place that anybody wants it is on the
other fellow.
The reason that this congress, now
almost a year in session, has not enc
acted tariff law long before this, in
dcCOTudDCc WITH IAC RAOh1ioCo VI VIZ
democratic platform and president, 10
that every democrat has been strug-
Cling to protect his own section and
the interests of his own people. He was
willing and anxious to see free trade On
a low rate of tariff duty on the pro-
auctions of anybody else; but he
wanted to protect his own state or dis
trict and the manufactures thereof.
This is the key to the situation in
Washington to-day. Not only SO, but
it exemplifies the false and delusivs
character of the theory upon which
the democratic party takes its stand
in regard to the revenue question:
Give us free trade" shouts eve ry dem
ocrat, ''but keep a high protectivs
duty on the articles made in my dis
trict or my state or by my people" IL
is purely selfish proposition, and in
marked contrast with the broad policy
of the republican party, which pro-
poses protective duty upon all arti-
cles manufactured or prod ~oed by the
people of the United States; thus in
surfing not only living prices to tho
manufacturers and producers, but
high wages to those whom they en-
ploy, or those dependent incidentally
upon their industry.

SLIGHTLY HENPECKED.
Glimpse OF the Domestic Life of the Late
Edwin Booth.


That part of the community who
only knew the late Edwin Booth as
our country's most celebrated actor
would probably have experienced sur
prise had they obtained a glimpse of
his domestic life with the second Mrs.
Booth-to have witnessed the meek
ness of manner, you might say, with
which he complied with her sugges-
tions. That last, however, is scarcely
the word for the place. as she was usu-
ally in the Imperative mood.
The Mrs. Booth refer to was one of
the most extraordinary small and pre-
else of women, and it was difficult for
the observer to discover wherein lay
her attraction for the great actor.
| likewise her claim to sucn absolute
control as she practiced over her fam
| lily.
As an instance of the latter, l may
cite the following, which occurred
nightly and with absolute regularity
at summer resort, where a number
of people, including the Booths. were
passing part of the time.
Miss Booth would probably be en-
gagged conversing with some of her ac-
auaintances. Mr.. Booth immersed in a
book. On the stroke of ten Mrs Booth,
with index finger pointing dramatical-
ly toward the clock, would enunciate
warningly the single word:
"EdwinaT'
Without an instant's hesitation Miss
Booth would bid her friends good
night and retire.
In possibly half an hours time Mrs.
Booth, in the same warning voice,
would remark:
MIR Booth"
Booth. glancing dreamily up from his
book, would regard the small lady an
instant as if gradually collecting him
self from some other sphere, and then
as obediently as Edwina, he would
gravely bid good night to those present
and likewise retire.-Toledo Blade

He was a born and bred New Yorker;
but. at the time of which we write, he
had been living for the last ten or
twelve months in Uxton, up among
the hills of northwestern Connecticut,
studying the natives, for he was a
writer.
Having filled portfolio with mater
ial for enough dialect stories to run
one of the great magazines for year,
he determined to seek his matter In
the metropolis, and to that end ap-
piled for a reportership on the New
York Courier-Journal, in which paper
many of his brightest things had ap-
peared at remunerative rates.
AS has been said, he knew the value OF
promptitude, so when at eight o'clock
one night Farmer Phelps hired man
handed him letter from James Fitz-
gerald, managing editor of the Cour-
ier-Journal, asking him to come and
see him in regard to a reportership as
soon as possible, he made up his mind

THE DEAL IN SUGAR.
Revelations which Make Things Lo,

Revelations which Make Things Look
Dark for the Democracy.
The report of the sugar trust inves
tigating committees represents the
happening of the expected. There was
never any reason to look for u differ
ent result. because there was never
any reason to suppose that the com.
mittee would make an earnest and
thorough attempt to obtain the facts
A great deal of testimony has been
taken, but it is mostly of the kind that
stops where the trail begins to be fresh
The accused parties, and many not &C
cused, were summoned one after an
other and their pleas Of not guilty ac-
cepted as conclusive proof in the case.
There is nothing to show that plain
clews were followed up in a capable
ami resolute way, or that suspicious
circumstances were pushed to deh-
mite and satisfactory explanation The
methods employed to ascertain the
truth concerning alleged corrupt or
improper proceedings were calculated
to defeat that purpose by providing
ample opportunity for concealment-
As usual in such Investigations, the
line OF action was so adjusted as to In:
troduce an abundance Of irrelevant
matter and to keep the essential points
out of sight. There is no doubt in the
public mind as to the fact that for
tunes were made by spectators upon
advance information furnished by
democratic senator's, and that certain
of those senators were large gamers in
the matter; but the committee was
not looking for such information, and
SO did not find it.
There are some things of damaging
kind in the report, however, which
could not be suppressed. 1t is stated,
for instance, that Secretary Carlisle
drafted sugar schedule which was
I tsyorable to the trust, and that the
{ schedule finally agreed upon was OF
| the same character. In other words,
| it appears that the administration. al
represented by Mr.. Carlisle, took
special interest in the sugar matter,
and that its recommendations were in
perfect accord with the wishes of ths
trust This does not legally prove that
the trust was given the protection and
| advantage that it desired, or demand
ed, in return for its large contribution
to the democratic campaign fund Of
1892; but certainly the coincidence
raises q strong presumption to that
effect. II there was not a bargain OF
that kind, then the democratic sena-
tors, with the approval, if not at the
instance of the administration, made
the trust valuable present at the cost
of the government and the people as
an act of generosity. When the affair
is looked at from any point of view ID
has an ugly aspect. The trust got
what it desired, let the explanation be
what it may. 1t is for those who thus
favored gigantic and grasping mo-
nopoly to convince the country, if they
can, that they were actuated by honest
and patriotic motives, in spite of the
very distinct indications that other
and less creditable influences had @
controlling effect in the transaction

WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.
Who Ii Responsible for Delaying Tariff
Legislation.


Democratic apologists are having
their lines cast in hard places these
days. Facts pile up against them with
terrible precision and swiftness, and
each hour of delay in settling for good
or ill the great question of tariff legis-
lation brings with it an addition of
odium and disgrace that has already
been laid at their door. As to this
more recent delay republican skirts
have been kept clear. Since the senate
passed its bill no republican has ut
tered more than few words OF de-
bate, no one has made single dila-
tory motion, no one offered the slight
est degree of obstruction. Democratic
dissensions, wranglings and recrim-
nations have filed the hours of con-
gress. Democratic conferrees have
..sat and looked at each other" in the
language of the willy senior senator
from New York, and all this the coun.
try knows, and condemns with bitter
words and more potent political reso-
lutions.
The point of special interest in all
this is to try to ascertain just where,
inside the charmless circle of democ-
racy, the responsibility for delay rests.
And it must be said, as it Is secretly
felt in Washington already. that on
Grover Cleveland's shoulders must
fall the burden. No sane observer oil
affairs can doubt that before that
famous letter was written, the senate
bill had every advantage of war, and
il was a question of only few hours
when the house would surrender I'M
conditionally. The white flag was
tied to the halyard, when from the
white mousse came that curious com
mand to hold the fort New hope
came to the weary soldiers, the guns
were renamed and the war com
mepced afresh.
TIE outlook to-day is doubtful II
the extreme. There may be no tariff
legislation at all. And If all the
trouble, and turmoil and attack or
American industries comes to naught
there can be no doubt that Cleveland
can be honestly thanked for what he
has aone, however little he intended Il
do k-Boston Traveller.
