The Most Remarkable Tariff Snarl.

The letter of President Cleveland
to Representative Wilson and the
speech of Mr.. Wilson in the house
are remarkable, not to say astound.
ing. Mr.. Wilson not only hints, but
very plainly indicates, that the sen.
ate conferrees are not their own mas.
ters. He means that the Senate is
under the domination of the Sugar
Trust and that the Trust must have
first consideration. Not only that,
but be is panied to find that the Sen.
ate, by the confession of its confer.
rees, will not permit Tariff Reform
bill to be passed, as be understands
the definition of tariff REFORM" and
that there is an insistence upon pro.
lection for certain articles, such as
coal and iron ore and woolens. The
charge cannot be misunderstood. II
is direct.
But if Mr.. Wilson's speech is
pointed and even sensational in it's
structures upon the Senate, what
must be thought of the utterances of
President Cleveland? He is for free
coal and free iron ore. The Whit.
ney Canadian coal syndicate must be
protected at all hazards. This is
what the Democratic platform means.
10 get away from free raw material,
according to the President, is ta "all
far short of the eonsummaiion" for
which the Democratic party has la.
bored. The bill as adopted by the
Senate, "means party perfidy and
party disbonor." But more remark.
able still is the position of the Pres.
ldeDt on the sugar question. He
doesn't like the Sugar Trust least
he says so. But he is perfectly will.
ing TO surrender to the Trust-to
protect their sugar, to give them ev.
erything, if the Senate in return will
only give Mr.. Whitney free coal and
will allow iron ore to come in free.
The Presidents idea of a tariff re-
form bill is to admit raw material
free-except raw sugar-always ex.
ceptlng that. Give the Trust pro.
lection, only let up on Whitney and
drive it home on the iron and steel
mills and the wollen manufactur.
eTs.
What humilating position for the
Democratic administration and Con.
gress to be in.
There were distinct pledges in the
platform. Protection was declared
to be unconstitutional. The House
passed bill catering to the South
and attacking every great Northern
industry. The Senate, owned bod y
and soul by the Sugar Trust, protec-
ted that powerful concern. Two or
three Democratic Senators, frighten.
ed to death over the raid upon iron
ore and coal, determined to throw
overheard their promises and protect
both iron ore and coal. The sugar
and coal and iron Senators together
make a powerful combination, and

An Infant

A real infant phenomenon keeps all
the medical men and pedagogues of the
good old town of Brunswick in a state
of wonder and delight. The little son
of a local butcher, a baby just 2 years
old, a read with perfect ease anything
written Or printed in German or Latin
characters. A few weeks ago three
Brunswick doctors had the baby intro
duced to them at the house of one of the
learned gentlemen. The first thing the
little one did when brought into the
consulting 0 was to stand on his toes
at the table, reading out from the books
that were lying about. When Is months
old, the baby liked books and newspa-
pers better than lollipops and toys, and
whatever the parents playfully told him
he remembered, with the result that,
at the age of 2 years, he reads with per-
feet ease. - Westminster Gazette.

maclst asked him to exercise his 1nge-
nuity on a bottle for the use of a pro-
prietary fluid which could not be filled
a second time, thus preventing the man
ufacturers of limitations from Offering
spurious preparations in such of the
special bottles as they might be able to
buy.
The vital principle of the new device
is a cork float with a rubber pad at the
back, located inside a glass cap in the
neck, which closes instantly whenever
IN attempt is made to fill it. This float,
once against the entrance, is held in
place by the weight of a glass ball at
tached to a chain, having the play of
half an inch.
The original contents find their way
out through interstices in the cap to a
groove in the neck Of the bottle into
which no knives or tools can be thrust.
All parts of the invention are of glass
except the chain and floats and will be
blown in when the bottle is made

CAPITAL AND CONFIDENCE.
All That Is Needed For the American Peo-
pie to Start Up Again.

All That Is Needed For the American Peo-
pie to Start Up Again.
Everybody who has money is tired
of getting l per cent or no per cent for
it. Every business man who has been
lying on his oars is crazy to do some
thing or engage in something he under
stands. Every enterprise which has
been dormant is feeling its way for cap
ital and confidence. Labor is every
where eager for work and employers
still more eager to open their works. 1t
only requires the normal machinery Of
the country TO move in a normal way,
for consumption to again make demands
upon production.
When the history of the late panic
comes to be written and the troubles in
cident to it, one of its remarkable fea-
lures will be the effect upon railway
traffic, upon all business of 65, 600, 900
people, of those who had to and those
who had no need to economize, but did
so in every possible way. When one
family uses the old stove with the
cracked lids and pastes paper over the
broken pane of glass and does not renew
any of the furniture or crockery, when
they wear last years clothes and go
from food which might be luxuries to
food which simply supports life, the eco
nomics are demonstrated which follow
a total or partial loss of income.
Precisely that process has been going
on for two-thirds of a year among 80
per cent Of our population. 1t has made
clear the fact that the American people,
who are charged, and probably justly,
with being the most e~xtravagant people
in the world, can live as closely as any
body when it becomes necessary. But
the effect upon merchants, middlemen
and carriers in the volume of their bust
ness and their profits is disastrous be-
yond any process which has ever affect
ed the business of the country. -Chaun-
oey M. Depew in New York Tribune.

j. M. Barrie Going to Samoa.

The statement is repeated, and it
seems likely to be true, that Mr.. and
Mrs. Barrie are contemplating a honey
moon jaunt to Samoa to visit MI. r. L..

ors have been many and varied, but
Mr.. Barrie would be the first brother
novelist to make the journey.-West-
minister Gazette.
Antiquity OF Wire.
The manufacture of wire is of very an
Gent origin. 1t has been traced back to
the earliest Egyptian history. Specimens
are in existence which can be proved to
date to 100 B. G. The Kensington mu-
scum has a specimen which was made in
Minera 800 years B. @. Ancient literature
contains many references to wire. From
the ruins of Herculaneum metal heads
have been exhumed on which the hair is
represented by wire. There is no question
that this ancient wire was made by ham,
mering out the metal, which was always
bronze or of the precious group. This held
true of all made previous to the fourteenth
century, during which the process of form
ing wire by drawing or e~longating the
metal by forcing it through a conical ORR
flee, made in some substance harder thar
the metal treated, was invented.-Cas-
sier's Magazine.

One evening, after her performance at

a glass of wine wa offered to her. "Oh,
no." she exclaimed, THAT glass is of no
use. You don't understand a singers

out a tumbler which held no more than

MANCHESTER'S SHIP CANAL.
Il Is Beginning to Loom Up as q Large
Sized White Elephant.

It Is Beginning to Loom Up as a Large
Sized White Elephant.
1t appears that the people Of Man.
chester are beginning to find that their
Wanted ship canal is something of an
elephant o. their hands. The chairman
Of the canal company has submitted to
the municipal authorities a report which
does not make them feel very good.
His figures show that at the end Of the
current year the canal deficit will
amount to e146, 500, and unless some
thing can be done about it, nobody
knows exactly what, the city will have
to meet the interest of the bonds in
1896, which means an increase of taxa
ton of l shilling ~ pence on the
pound, or about s per cent.
1t appears, too, that the canal COM
pany has entered into sundry obligations
which the corporation knew nothing
about and to meet which will make a
tremendous drain ever on the
of the corporation. The canal will,
moreover, have to keep dredges at work
at a cost of about $50, 600 a year, and
more capital is called for to meet the
extra expenses of digging the canal.
The chairman advises the taxpayers
to make no further pledges to the canal
and announces that he proposes to re-
sign the position of chairman, as he
does not feel equal to the task of extri-
eating the canal from its difficulties.
This all makes a showing very different
from the roseate reports of the canal
which have been coming across the wa
ter.-New Orleans Picayune.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
HANLEY
A Third Ward Club Thinks Hes
All Right"

A Third Ward Club Thinks Hes
All Right"
The second round in Hanley and Har-
ris VS.. Reichart and Kenney's four
cornered cat fight was fought out before
an appreciative audience at 253 East
Eighth street last night. 1t has not
been generally known that there is
quite fight on for the empty honor of
Republican supremacy in the Third
ward, but such IS, nevertheless, the
case. Charles Reichart and Terrence
Kenuey have all along been conceded
the honor of leading the Republican
Ghosts" of the ward, but lately John
Harris moved into the ward, and he and
j. G. Hanley formed an alliance. often
Sive and defensive, and at once pro-
ceeded to organize another party.
To this end meeting was held at
Hanley's Office about week ago, and a
call was issued for a general meeting of
all the Republicans who were not in
the other club. F. j. Templeton was
made president aud Charles Cady sec
rotary.
The meeting last night was kind Of
continuation of the former, and it is
fair to assume that all the ants were
there-there were about sixty present.
The other club signaliZed its entree
into the political arena by indorsing
John B. Sanborn for mayor, but the
Hanley-Harris menagerie declines to
set the seal of its official appreciation on
any individual. and in consequence the
club stands unpledged. but anxlously
waiting.
The meeting last night had the honor
of being addressed by several parties,
or, if the reader likes the form better,
conferred upon several parties the
honor of addressing it.
Herr Sam Lowepstein modestIy an
swered call, and preached few

John Harris narrowed up the tender
sensibilities of the audience with SOME

the occasion.

same place next Monday night the cluu
adjourned.
