WILSON'S INSINCERITY.

As one analyses the German Wilson tariff act the conclusion is reached that the Democrats in congress, in many individual cases, were very much 1m- pressed with the fact that "the tariff is a local issue." The Democrats have always complained that the idea of pro- tection was selfish. So is the law of self preservation selfish; so is a mans love for either his country or his family selfish. But it is justified selfshness- it is loyalty. Every member of con- gress who was elected from manufac- turing community must have had a conviction that his first duty was to protect his constituents. Every mem- Der of congress who had such convic- tion did not vote for the interest of his constituents. In the more than six hundred amendments which the senate attached to the original tariff bill there were scores of instances in which the Democratic senators were caring-and very properly-for their constituents. But all of this care was not shown in the senate. Even the loud mouthed exponent of free trade, Professor Will son, provided ample protection for Wheeling, the most important city in the state he represents in congress. A writer in the Chicago Journal thus calls attention to that fact:
 Not a single comment has been made on that feature of the Wilson bill when it first passed the house of representatives wherein it increased the Mckinley duty on cut nails from 1S.6 to 25 per cent on an ed valorem basis. When it is remembered that the principal article of manufacture of Wheeling, the largest city of MT. Wilson's state, is cut nails, Git is generally known as the Mail City') the in sincerity of MT. Wilson in taking care of this local industry, while he is rated as pure tariff reformer, becomes manifest. The Re publican papers even credit him as being an honest, though visionary, economic theorist.
 The duty upon cut nails was increas- ed by the Wilson schedules 6 40 per cent over the Mckinley rates. We have no faultt to find with this increase, but the fact that it was accomplished is only corroborative of the incincerity oi Professor Wilson and fellows of his calibre.

STORIES OF NAPOLEON.
With All His Opportunities He Left tn
 Throne a Pauper.

With All His Opportunities He Left the
 Throne a Pauper.
 No man in the history of the world ever had such vast and varied opportu- mites for piling up a personal fortune as those which fell to the lot of Napo- leon Bonaparte. Yet, on the first ab- dication, when the allies robbed him of his wife and child and sent him to Elba, he left the throne of the most powerful nation in Europe almost pauper, says the New York Recorder.
 The imperial treasures had been kept at Orleans. After the abdi- cation the provisional government, under the influence of Talleyrand, the most notorious self-seeker in France, was more concerned about these treasures than about the future of the nation. A decree of practical con- fseatioE was drawn up and a force of men under NJ. Dudon was sent from Paris to Orleans to seize on everything that could be found.
 Napoleon's personal treasury had at one time contained about IA, ,0OO, 900 francs. Of this amount more than 100,000,000 francs had been used to equip the army of France for it's final struggle with monarchial Europe. The remnant was seized as per programme by Talleyrand's minions. They took 10000, ,000 francs in gold and silver coin, 3,oOO,OOO francs in gold and silver plate, perhaps 100000 francs worth of snuff boxes and rings, good part of Napo- Icons wardrobe, and even his embroid- cred pocket handkerchiefs. There wasn't anything modest about M. Tal- leyrand. The Russian officers refused to interfere with this pillage, although appealed to.
 The loss of this money only occa- stoned moment of irritation to Napo- leon. The loss of his wife and child made him like caged lion at Elba, and, in his opinion, fully justified his dramatic return to France.

not more, at stake in the present pol itical situation than men. It is the women who feel more acutely than the men what it is to have the head of the house, the wage earner, out of a job and bringing home 10 or 20 per cent less money every week than he used to do during the Mckinley prosperity period. Smaller earnings mean greater economy in household management. This bur den falls upon the women who have to decide which member of the family must be deprived of some needed new clothes, or how the dinner and supper table can be more sparingly set and still give satisfaction to everybody.
 How much harder, though, is the case where the husband or son has no work at all because the factory has been closed through Democratic leglsla- tion. New clothes cannot be thought of. Old garments must be patched again and again. But they must eat, and where is the food to come from :? There may be some little savings in the bank to draw upon, but it is 8 shame to have to touch these old time savings that were put by against old age and represent the economy of former days. But they must eat. And if there are no savings to draw upon to feed the many hungry mouths, then, indeed, is the mothers lot an unhappy one. What can she say to her children who appeal for food. They do not under stand this dreaded free-trade of Demo- cracy. They only know that "father is out of work" ard that they are hungry. Can the mother stop her tears or still her aching heart as she turns from the empty cupboard and tells them there is no food in the house?
 No wonder the women are taking an interest in politics. They want to see those rascals turned out of office who have turned their husbands out of their jobs. The women know that protection means food and clothing while free trade means hunger and nakedness. The women will see to it that their hus- bands vote for protection this fall.

Not only did he par don him, but gave him position as a detective to trail down counterfeiters Loew was well-informed man in all the arts and rascalities of counterfeit CTS, and in less than two years after his pardon he ran to earth almost every counterfeiter in Austria, and died a few years ago covered with detective honors.

 Gesa Berger, the actor and news paper man, has picture in caligraphy that has a remarkable history. It is in size thirty by forty-two inches, and is the work of Joseph Loew, the most noted counterfeiter that the Austrian government ever knew.
 When an application is made for pardon in Austria the red tape policy of that country compels the applicant to address the emperor with all his titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about forty titles. Loew engraved all of these names, together with his petition for pardon. on cherry stone.
 The letters were so fine that it re- quired the aid of powerful micro scope to decipher them. One day when the emperor visited the prison Loew in person presented a cherry

Shower Baths for Horses.

They do queer but very sensible thing to the car horses in New York in hot weather. The horses are kept out side, not in the heated stables, and are put in a TOW, face to the sidewalk. One of the stablemen has hose which he turns on the horses every little while. The stream of water is sent first on their backs, then on the head, and as it comes down the TOW the horses that have not been wet look up to see when their turn is coming. They appear to like it, and no wonder. Probably many boy or girl, walking along in the heat, would like it, too.

Political Evolution.

Let's see, what was the issue upon
which Democracy came into power
The memory need not be very re
tentlyc 90 say of course it was the
tariff lssue upon which the Republi.
cans were identified with high pro
lection for our fcstered industries,
while Democracy appealed TO the
masses as against the classes, promjs.
ing reformation Of The tariff if elected.
Under the circumstances, however,
this was much easier promised than
fulfilled, since our protected industries
have shown themselves stronger than
either the Republicans or Democrats
IN Congress assembled. They whipped
out and destroyed the usefulness Of
the Republican party for any com.
mon good for common people, and it
begins to look as though they had
also won the affections of Democracy.
In our humble opinion there is but
one power on earth stronger to-day
than our foStered and protected indus
tiies, and that is the power that kicked
out dlsobedient Republicans and put
IN dlsobedient Democrats. What
better can the sovereign power do ?
| will tell you, gentle reader of the
COLUMBIAN, what the sovereign power
will do If bo.h old parties prove their
hypocrisy much longer, they will do
as they have done in the past by the
help of God who gave US a popular
Government through the sword of
Washington, they will defeat both old
parties, establish peoples party, and
thus endeavor to approximate primi-
tive purity Of government by the
masses.

SWEETNESS (!

In the sugar scandal, following close
upon the heels of other ugly dis
closures showing the influence of
money, a few more Congressiona!
secrets are ventilated as a matter of
retaliation. AS between Republicans
and Democrats in Congress assembled,
II seems to us very much like kettle
calling pot black.
OF course the investigating com
mlttee recommend the prosecution Of
those who told all they knew about
the brlbe'money offered and received
by the different parties. One of the
betrayers, Edwards, says the sugar
trust contributed from $3.50, 600 to
$500, 900 to the Democratic cam
paign fund. He also remembered some
$4,000 given the Republicans merely
as tirst subSc. iption. He said the
Republicans wanted more, and they
got 1t, too, Stephen B. Elkin's name
is mentioned prominently as an agency
by which Mr.. German was brought
into close association with the sugar
trust comprised of Havemeyer, Terrell
and Meyer.
The testimony further disclosed the
fact that of 100000 which was sent
to Connecticut for political effect Mr..
Havemeyer gave one half, while E. c.
Benedict and associates had raised
the other half.
We repoiuce these Qualifications of
our generous. hearted and sweet bust
ness men as wholesome reading
matter for the deluded and confiding
sovereign power in "the land of the
tree and the home of the brave" We
do 1t in the hope that sooner or later
the sovereign power will find out not
only that protection protects, but also
that money talks.

Now Paint Unpainted Houses,

With the passage of the Wilson bill
most anybody can soon paint up; for
it lowers the duty on white lead one
half. To have put white lead on the
free list would have been better still.
1t is said by those in position to know
that our white lead industry is one OF
the most CONSCIOUSNESS trusts that pro.
lection protects in this country. We
have about dozen manufactures in
all this country, and they are said to
advertise their products collectively
and jointly while they no doubt look
after the tariff on white lead individu-
ally as well as collectively. Hitherto
they have feared no English compe-
tition, nor have they had it to any
extent
Now, if there should be a cores
ponding reduction in the price of
paint by virtue Of little foreign com
petition there are many new and old
unpainted buildings that will soon
stand some chance of being brushed
up all over this country, and in con-
sequence many idle painters will be
able to find something to paint that
needs it badly, and would have had
1t long ago, but for the high price of
paint.

Republican Pallacies on Wool.

First, 1t is quite the thing with them
to sneer at free wool in the interss,
of farmers, in the face of the fact tha,
the Mckinley tariff policy has de.
spoiled his home through Its willy de
luslons and humbug theories as 10 its
relations to the interests of the farmer
The American farmer has now reached
the day when hard facts speak louder
to him than fne-spun theories about
high or low tariff
There is excellent Republican au.
thority that free wool Always has been
benefit to the farming class of tins
country. If we produced wool as we
produce iron and coal the case might
be different ; but in the face of the
fact that we want to buy rather than
10 sell wool, the benefit of Its high
protection will never strike the farmer
very forcibly.
1t is historical fact that under
the tariff Of 1857, and up to the out
break Of the war, the farmer could
get about 30 cts. a pound for his wool
while now, after 80 years Of high pro
lection, and about four years of the
Mckinley kindness, the farmer does
well, indeed, to get IS cts. pound fol-
wool. The United States TO day is
the only manufacturing country in
the world which is so foolish as to
impose daty on law material Of
which she is unable to produce a
supply sufficient for her own use. The
farmer when he buys his winter cloth.
ing, his blankets, his horse covers,
his Aannels and underwear for his
family, has to either take Mckinley
quality or pay Mckinley prices.
if farmers understood how they
were humbugged and piucked by the
protective warp and woof of the wool
business, instead of being moderate
tariff reformers they would be more
apt to b. fr=e traders outright.

passed at the recent session of the
legislature, eXempting veteran soldiers

ot the State over all other persons
graded lower than others examined.
provided their qualifications and fit.
ness shall have been ascertained. and
the person thus preferred shall not be
disqualified from holding any position
IN SAID civil service on account of mis-
age, nor by reason of any disability
provided such disability does not rend,

duties OF the position applied for.

Against Floods.

OF the vast amount of money an
propriated yearly by Congress for the
benefit Of rivers and harbors elsewhere.
the inhabitants of the valleys and low.
lands of the Susquehanna have never
as yet received one cent. The bulk of
all the millions thus far appropriated
has no doubt gone to the benefit of
the inhabitants of the NIississippi
Valley, and foi the rivers and harbors
IN close proximity TO our larger cities
OF the north, south, east and west of
us.
If 1t Is argued that the Mississippi
is a navigable and national thorough
fare, and therefore most worthy of
the vast amounts expended from year
to year to keep it so, we may claim
that little money expended on the
north and west branches of the Sus
quehanna, in dams and dredging,
would certainly make them navigabIe
by boats that would enter into lively
competition with our railroads. TO
say that millions of dollars have been
wasted through the river and harbor
bill upon streams utterly unnavlgable
by the design of God and nature. is
putting It none too strong. If it is pcs.
sible to build secure levees and thus
protect the lowlands Of the Mississippi
Valley from inundation, surely hun
dredth part Of the money thus ex.
pended would render the lowlands of
the Susquehanna entirely safe, and
enhance the value of such property
very much. The safest plan, of course,
is always to build above high-water
mark ; but where whole towns and
cities have not done so, and conse.
quently are in constant jeopardy from
overflow, It seems TO the writer that a
little division of the large, very large,
annual appropriation for the benefit
OF rivers and harhors might well be
made along the Surqueh4nua in the
vicinity Of Wilhamsport, Lewishure,
Lock Haven and other populous

until another strikes them As 10

latlon. And, again, as to value of pro.

rivers, the rice fields and agricultural
Iands OF Mississippi are as nothing
