The Tariff Agitation.

At the Democratic convention held
at Martinsburg, West Virginia, the
Hon. William L. Wilson, in accepting
a denomination for Congress. said
But, as the President we'll said, we
have gained a vantage ground from
which we shall continue to shell the
camp of monopoly. The day of mud
protection is over in this country; Nc
Kinleyism will disappear as a dark and
hideOus blight from our statute books.
The fight will go on, it may not be in
such a general engagement and pro
tracted struggle as we have just passed
through but in that steady and resist
less pressure that will take one after
another of the strongholds of privilege,
until all shall disappear before the ad-
vance of public opinion and public
emancipation"
Here we have the campaign outlined
The voters of the country-including
the wage-earners-are informed from
official sources that the Democratic
party intends to revive the feeling o
uncertainty in business circles as sOOr
as Congress meets in December, by
making another attack upon the tariff
laws of the country. The experience
of the last fifteen months has been {
costly one to both employers and EN-
plOyes, and the delay in Congress in
flicted a loss in wages alone equal t
the entire national debt. Yet, after s
new tariff measure has been passed anC
has become law, the country is tOlC
that it will have to go through anOthe
period of uncertainty, beginning mex
winter. The business men of th'
country are trying to adjust their af
fairs according to the new tariff sched
ules, and there was hope that the mill
and workshops would be able to star
up again. with the assurance that tn,
tariff tinkering had been ended. Blu
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Wilson declar
that the war is not closed and that tn
industries of the country must be still
further assailed as soon as Congress
| meets.

The Unemployed in New York.

An official of the New York Asso-
citation for the Improvement of the
Condition of the poor makes the fol.
lowing statement in regard to the un-
employed in that city:
This society has received to date dur
ing the present summer at least three
times as many applications for assist
ance as were received during the cor
responding period of last year. and at
least three times as much aid has been
extended. You can have no adequate
idea of the extent of the destitution in
New York at this moment. We pay
rent and furnish groceries for whoever
comes to us properly indOTsed as a per-
son who has at all times been self-sup-
porting when enabled so to be, and of
good habits and character. In ordinary
years, and, indeed, last year, which
was in all respects an extraordinary
year, the applicants here have been al
most entirely laborers, mechanics and
working women. This year we have
had applications for assistance in great
numbers from persons of far higher
grade than ever before. Mechanics,
laborers, artisans and working women
have come to US in greater numbers
than ever previously, and in addition,
clerks, salespeople and members of the
professions.
do not believe that any profession
whatsoever has failed of representa-,
ton in the long lines of destitute sup.
| plicants for assistance at this Office
There have been Slergymen and doc
| tors of medicine, lawyers and prOfes
sional writer's, electrical engineers anC
civil engineers, persons who in ordinary
times have been able to earn from
$500 to $4,000 or $4,000 a year, and ar,
now disqualified solely because of thu
depression, persons to whom it seemed
like surrendering the last vestige o
manhood and wOmanhOod to appeal TO
charity, persons who, before succumb
ing to the remOrseless necessities of tn
period, have pawned their watches
their jewelry and other personal adorn
ments, their spare furniture and cloth
ing, and have even gone without sui
fcient food.
1t is pitiful to deal with this class @
applicants. 1t is sad enough indeed t
deal with any one who is suffering fo
the necessities of life, but it is doubl
sad when the applicant is enduring tn
double tortures of want and wounde
pride. Oftener than in any other clas
those of whom l am speaking come t
us in poor physical condition. T
speak plainly, their reluctance to be
come objects of charity in many case
; induces them to half starve themselve
before they will do this, and then thei
bodily weakness is so great that Will
, in every case now recall they hav
been willing and eager to take an
work they could get to do, in many il
stances they have been so weak and {
emaciated that it would be perfeotl
obvious to an intending employer tbs
the applicants would be able to pc
, form the work required if given en-
| ployment. 1t is my opinion that me-
winter will be a much harder one this
was last winter, and that the charitab
people of New York will be asked
go deeper into their pockets than thC
i. have ever done before. Il is
pleasure to be able to state that q
though the demands of this SUNNI
y have been unprecedented, there has
far been no lack of funds to carry
the Society's work.

morning by morning, to the subscribing

Courage.

Because hold it sinful to despend,
And will not let the bitterness Of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond
Its tumults and its strife;
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad breeZes
blow,
By every ray and every raindrOp kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think yOu-there are no ready tears to fall
No burden to be borne like Christians pack
Think you there are no ready tears to fall
Because keep them back?
Why should l hug life's ills with cold reserve,
To curse myself and all who love me2 kay2
thousand times more good than deserve
God gives me every day.
And in each one of these rebeLious tears,
Kept bravely back, he makes rainbow shine
Grateful take his slightest gin; no fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear and. when the clouds are
pas,
One golden day redeems weary year;
Patient listen. sure that sweet at last
viii sound his voice of cheer.

1t is said that seven suicides is the
normal daily average in New York and

poverty, which is usually considered a
prime cause for self-murder, does not
figure as the motive in the majority of

are those in comfortable circumstances.

Lum Smith, the publisher, of Frank
ford and Girard avenues, recently re-
celved through the mails about Il
dozen of most curious objects, which
he has been unable to classify. The
objects have been named bv Mr.. Smith
Jumping beans, which clearly describes
their characteristics.
The beans are spherical triangles,
and when three of them are put to-
gether they form a round object which
looks much like hazelnut, and in this
form they undoubtedly grew, being
covered by pod or shuck. The pc
culiarity of the beans is that they Jump
around, and when laid upon their
backs, that is, when resting upon the
round surface, they will hop and turn
over. They also move forward and
backward and sideways, hardly ever
being still.
THEY NEVER REST.
Day and night they keep active. If
a person places his hand upon the lit
tie pile it seems to affect the beans
aud they will not move for some time.
If one of them is held between the fin
gers minute the pulsatiol within be-
comes very perceptible, and if it
Is held to the ear the force of the blow
may be distinctly heard. Mr.. Smith
left one of the beans in his yard for
eight hours and he found that at the
expiration of that time it had moved
ten feet. Their tendency seems to be
to get away and always to keep on the
move.
The explanation given by Mr.. Smith
is that the shell conceals a worm and
the movement and blow of the worm
makes the bean move.

II scow laden with sand that had been
taken from a cholera-ridden ship was
moored at the foot of Henderson street
The Inspector found the scow, which
was in charge of a Capt. O'Brien.
The latter admitted the truth of the
story. OBrien said that the sand was
taken from the steamship Alters, which
left Antwerp several weeks ago. As
Antwerp Is n cholera-infested port she
was detained at Quarantine. After some
delay she was allowed to proceed to her
dock In Brooklyn on condition, OBrien
alleged, that her cargo should be thor
oughly fumigated and that the sand
used as ballast should be unloaded in a
scow and taken to sea and dumped.
This was done 40 far as the unloading
of tne sand was concerned O'Brien.
seeing chance to save his employers
the money 1t would cost to tow the scow
to sea. thought he would bring the sand
over to Jersey City and sell 1t.
Inspector Nevins ordered him to re-
move the scow Immediately and this
vas done The sand was lowed out OF
