Six of One. Half Dozen of the Other.

There are two points up the Hudson
from New York which do not stand
well III the opinion of all people. One is
at West Point-it is the United States
Military academy, and there be those
who say that the first year there for a
cadet is something terrific. The other is
at Sing Sing, and there be those who
say that life in the penitentiary is not
as desirable as it might be, though it
might be much worse. Not long ago a
youth, ON his way to West Point to try
for admission, met another youth on the
train who had been there year and

about baseball and that sort of thing as
a starter, and finally the ex-cadet made
an inquiry of a personal character.

GROCERIES
A Strange Pictorial Error.

With regard to the numerous techni-
cal mistakes committed by artists who
select military subjects for their pic
lures good story is told of the late
Frank Holl. In his painting room he
had a portrait of the Duke of Edinburgh
as one of the elder brothers of the Trim
ity House.
The duke, of course wore naval Co.'S
tune, which affords little opportunity
for color to the painter. There is the
blue of blue CLOTH and there is the gold
of gold lace, and there is very little
more The union jack, with its angles
and patches of white, red and blue-a
blue of different quality from the uni
form-was the painter S chance, and
Frank Holl seized it with a painter
avidity
The duke stood beside little table,
of which the flag acted as cloth or
cover The artist so arranged this bit
of drapery as to harmonize w4v.l his
general scheme, and, much delighted
with the result, awaited tic verdict of
the Trinity brethren. Some of these
came to the studio and were one aud
all dissatisfied Poor Frank Holl vas
greatly surprised and Disconnected The
picture would not do at all. and, in fact,
could not be hung as it then appeared.
And Holl had taken such pains with
that portrait and was So delighted with
his clever conquest of its difficult.cs.
Then the critics explained that the flag
was disposed upside down; that this
meant the surrender of the ship; that
the duke would be disgraced, the TRIM
ty House disgraced, the service disgrace
ed, England disgraced, unless the flag
hung the other way on the round table

Mr.. Darling is an exception to the
rule that "the years bring on age" for
with each succeeding one, although his
hair is now grey, he seems to become
younger when surrounded by his prot
eyes; in fact MIR. Darling enjoys him
self fully as much, if not more, than
the Youngest at the farm
The place itself could not be better
planned out or situated for a summers
outing. On one of the top most notch
es in this rugged range, commanding
an excellent view from all sides, is sit
uated the cosy Maplewood Farm, an
old landmark to the many who pass
that way. 1t is well known for its
many attractions, its beautiful drives
and pleasant walks which afford the
hosts of visitors great pleasure. Mr..
Darling has most successfully COM
pleted his plans to make the property
as attractive as possible, every conceiv-
able outdoor sport and almost every
game is arranged for so that no lack of
attention is bestowed in order for all
to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

MIR. Wilson'S Splendid Speech

Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, as chairman of the
ways and means committee. made his opening
speech on the tariff bill yesterday. WASH.
ingtou special to tile Baltimore SvH says:
He held that in these depressed times the
obligation to reduce taxes was more fmpera-
tive than ever. He explained how the enor-
nous surplus turned over by the Cleveland
administration to the Republicans lad Geen
disfPutcd and an empty treasury greeted Mr..
Clevel md when lie returned to power He
charged that the Republicans had deliberately
depleted the treasury to make an excuse for
levying protected taxes He then showed how
the wool and cotton and iron of the people
had been taxed to the utmost limit of rapacity
and greed, in various instances running up to
two or three hundred per cent.
Thunderous applause came from every
member ON the Democratic side when Mr..
Wilson declared the wool manufacturers now
cl3moring against the least reduction of their
enormous profits as the prototypes of the Eng
lish landlords, who protested against the non
taxation of food for starving Ireland No
sign but of hearty and most enthusiastic ap-
prOval came from the dense mass of Demo-
crats gathered about him when, with all the
force his voice was capable of. lie pronounced
IN favor oi Keeping up the battle of turif re-
form until every dollar paid by the people in
taxes went straight and direct into the treas
ury.
With convincing logic Mr.. Wilson demon
stated that emancipation from the thraldoms
of protective tariff would place the American
people on the highway to prosperous pro-
duction not dreamed of. The American
workiugnan is above competition when pro-
vided with untaxed raw material, and no pro-
tective tariff does or can protect him. He
held that neither reason nor experience sup
ported the idea that protection raised tic
wages of labor; to the contrary its eGcc. was
to lower them.
A sensation was created when as an illus
trattcn of the impcrious position assumed by
the purse-proud protectionists he quoted from
tho report of the president of the Iron and
Steel Manufacturers Association, styling the
great strike of 1892 of the workingmcn as u
rebellion" As Mr.. Wilson req nrked. these
millionaire monopolists Imagine themselves to
he fcudal lords and look upon their working
men as so many chattcls. After speaking two
hours Mr. Wilson became fatigued and slls-
pended HE remarks until Tomorrow. His
Democratic colleagues were more than salts
fed with his splendid argument. r

-Four valuable days were frittered
away in the House of Representa-
tiyes last week in fruitless effort to
secure a quorum of Democrats, and
then Speaker Crisp had to resort to
the issue of warrants for the arrest

is shameful, and should bring down
upon the heads of those guilty of it
the severcst condemnation at the
hands of their constituency. Speaker
Crisp and Representatives Wilson,

it said, we're at their posts, standing
