Democratic Principles and the Now Tariff
Bill.

Bin.
Before the tariff bill was passed Mr..
Cleveland said OF il that II put through
I'm the form In which IL went 90 the
conference committee il meant party
perfidy and party dishonor." He said
further that mo tariff measure can
accord with democratic principles or
promises or bear genuine democratic
badge that does not provide for free
raw materials" AS coal and iron ore
have not been put on the free list the
new law does not accord with genuine
democratic principles according 20 the
presidents idea OF them.
But the democrats outside OF the
white house, even those who but a
few days ago were commanding Mr..
Cleveland for his heroic stand In sup
port OF the sound doctrine. are Of the
opinion now that the new law is not
80 undemocratic after all Even Larry
Neal, the author OF the radical plank
in the national platform which calls
for the destruction OF all protection as
unconstitutional and "A robbery, says:

quest it was replaced by more pre-
tentious structure, the ruins Of which
now crown the hill above the Glad
stone homestead The ruins, the
park, and at certain times, also, the
Gladstone home, are all open to Wis
itors, the only restrictions being that
the curiosity seekers shall keep their
feet off the grass, their names off the
stones Of the old castle, and their
fingers off the property in the family
residence.
The house has much to interest
the visitor, The various rooms Of
the mansion abound with pictures
and statuary, photographs of Mr..
Gladstone himself being numerously
displayed in the parlors and in vari-
Gus other rooms, All the members
of his immediate family live here
with him excepting one son, the rec
tor of the Hawarden Church, who
resides in the rectory. The little
village church, by the way, is almost
as famous and nearly as old as the
crumbling castle. There was a church
on the site in the eighth century,
wnen the curious inc dent occurred
of the cross falling and hurting
woman. The people Of the town,
considering that there was something
uncanny about the accident, took the
cross and threw it into the sea. 1t
was, to their establishment, however,
washed on shore at Chester, where it
was seized upon as very precious
relic and set up in the race track,
where it or it's successor still stands.
During the recess Of Parliament
the church is always thronged with
townspeople and visitors, for every
day Mr. Gladstone is present at
morning prayers, walking briskly
over from the mansion and as briskly
back to breakfast after the prayers
are ended. On Sundays he some
times assists in the service by read
ing portions OF it, and to hear the
Church of England service read by
a premier of Great Britain is an in
cident that rarely occurs in the ex-
perien;e of the ordinary individual.
The church is a plain, unpretentious
little affair, which is kept so pur-
posely by the rector, who discourages
even so much style az is involved in
cushioning the pews, believing, as he
does, that this creates an iny,dious
distinction among the attendants, so
Mr. Gladstone and his family sit ON
the bare benches.
One of the most pleasing features
of the Hawarden life is the I'M
bounded reverence shown by every
body in the neighborhood for the
principal occupant Of the Hawarden

LAFAYETTE's BLuNDeR.


Amusing Mistake Caused by His Lack Of
Acquaintance with English.
When Lafayette, in 1924, made his
memorable tour through the United
States, many amusing incidents oc.
cured, Lafayette spoke but little
English, and understood less. lie
had retained a few phrases, such as
Thanks" "My dear friend" "Great
country Happy man" "Ah, 1 re-
member!" And, though he usually
uttered these In an effective manner,
they were sometimes ludicrously NAL
apropos. At Halifax the cortege was
met by General Daniel, who had sta.
toned a company Of soldiers by the
roadside, hanked by the ladies who
has assembled to do honor TO the
guest of the State. 1t had been ar
ranged that the ladies should wave
their hankerchiefs as soon as Lafay-
cite came in sight, and when Daniel
exclaimed, welcome, Lafayette"
the whole company was to repeat the
words after him. Unluckily the la.
dies misunderstood the programme
and waited too long, only to b. re-
minded Of their duty by steDtorlan
command of "Flirt, ladies, Airt, l
say" from the general, as he walked
down the line to meet the marquis.
Equally misunderstanding their part,
the soldiers, instead Of shouting
"Welcome Lafayette" in unison at
the close of the generals speech, re-
peated the sentence one by one in
varying tones down the line. Gem
eral Daniel, frantic at this burlesque
OF his order, vainly attempted to
correct it; but as he unfortunately
stammered when he was excited, his
"Say it all to.to-to getE-er!" could not
overtake the running fire Of swell
come Lafayette" which continued all
along the line. "Great country! great
country" replied Lafayette, turning
to General Polk, who was vainly try
ing not to smile. Recognizing an old
acquaintance, Lafayette greeted him
with great effusion: "Ah, my dear
friend, 80 glad to see you once more,
Hope you have prospered and had
good Il rtune these years." ayes,
General, yes: but / have had the
great misfortune to lose my wife
since / saw you" Catching the word
"wife," Lafayette guessed at the idea
OF a recent marriage, and, patting
his old friend affectiOnately on the
shoulder, he exclaimed: Happy man!

The Wrong Gard.

During his visit to Paris dis
tinguished German professor pre-
scented himself at the house Of a
well-known lady TO whom he had
sent letters Of introduction for a
dance. When the servant opened
the door and received his card she
conducted him to the boudoir and
told him to be seated, saying:
madam will come immediately"
Pre- 3ently the lady entered. She
was in dishabille, and her feet were
bare, covered only with slippers.
"Ah, good-morning," said she, bow"
ing to him carelessly.
She threw herself on chair, let
fall a slipper, and extended her foot
to the Professor.
He was naturally surprised, but he
remembered that at his home in
Germany it was the custom some
times to kiss a lady's hand, and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to
kiss her foot. He therefore did not
hesitate to imprint kiss upon the
fascinating foot before him.
The lady sprang from her chair,
highly indignant.
"Who are you, sir, and what do you
mean by such conduct"
He gave his name
"Then you are not the chiropodist
for whom l sent?"
Il am charmed tosay, dear madam,
that | AIN not"
"But the servant brought me a
chiropodlst's card.
1t was true. The Professor, in
going out that morning, had picked
up a chiropodist's card lying on his
bureau and put it in his pocket.
This, without glancing at it, he had
given to the servant, who had taken
it to her mistress. There was moth
ing to be done but to laugh over the

Troublesome Initials

Some years ago several wealthy
men OF Memphis, Tenn, built "A
steamboat, and named ii after one
of their best citizens, Charles b.
Church. But In painting the
name on the paddle-box, as they
wanted the letters large, they put
simply the initials, so that the name
read 90 B. Church"
When the colored people first
caught sight Of the boat they puz-
zled themselves not q little over this
name. Such of them as could read
reasoned about the matter at great
length.
"What kind oh church am dat G.
B. Church," they queriedD "What
does de G. b. stan for? OATS what
we want to know"
At length a bright thought struck
one of them, and he exclaimed JOY
fully, 81 know what dat ere stan
forI Wonder ! didn't see 1t 'forel
Dat G. B. stan for Colored Baptis'-
it's de Colored Baptls' Church, OATS
what 1t Isl"
The steamboat went by that name
for some time, until the owners, in
desperation at the jokes about it,
erased the initials, and had Charles
b. Church painted in full.

Recently in Paris person who Is
classed as a poet was sent to prison
for an assault with intent to commit
murder; and his case recalls that OF
another poet, Chapon by name, who
about the middle Of the present cen
fury ended his days In prison for
theft. Chapon was, indeed, an in
veterate thief, and was apprehended
more than once.
At the prison Of Ste Pelagie, dur
ing his incarceration, Chapon once
met Felix Pyat, revolutionst and
communist, who was generally in
prison for some political offence. AS
political prisoners were generally
sent to Ste Pelagie, and as Chapon
was a somewhat pretentious and we'll
educated person, Pyat supposed that
he, too, had been sentenced for some
revolutionary attempt So, stepping
up to him, he extended both his
hands and said, with a friendly smile:

Chapon, strengthening up and look
ing down very coldly on Pyat," "pm

when the Welsh held the mountain

when the Welsh held the mountain
districts Of their native country
against all corners, Chester needed
the red sandstone walls that still
stand and furnish a pleasant prom
enade for her people in the after
moons Of warm, sunshiny days. The
march Of modern improvement is felt
in Chester as elsewhere, but not to
the extent of compelling the citizens
to pull down their old walls, and so
they remain one Of the shows of the
city and great curiosity to tourists,
who are to be found at all times walk
ing up and down, on and around
them, measuring their height and
thickness, and making reflections
more or less nonsensical as to the
length Of time they have stood and
the scenes they have witnessed. The
tourist, if an Englishman; will take
a second-class railway carriage out
Of Chester; if an American, he
will go frst-class just for the style
Of the thing, and ride on the
London and Northwestern to
a scrubby little town called Saltney,
while he will leave the main line and
take a branch road to another town
called Hope, at which he will wait
awhile and then take another branch
line to still less entertaining village
known as Buckley, where he will
leave the train and prepare to ride or
walk, as best suits him, to the vii
lage of Hawarden. The distance is
about two miles, and when Mr.. Glad
stone makes the journey and has
plenty of time he walks, and the
tourist can do no better than follow
so distinguished an example. Let it
not, however, be understood that
when the great Premier goes from
London to his country house or vice
versa he is subjected to the delays
that ordinary travellers find so harass-
ing. The principal use of the rail
ways in Great Britain is to carry
"Her Majesty's mails" but after that
one very important part of their duty
