but before going he thought he would
make Mrs. Byrn~s feel bad. So he
visited her and showed her what IA 81 900

bills looked like. Then he folded them
up, laughed ghoulIshly and said good

English vs.. American.

To the Editor:
The many letters which have appeared In your
paper for the last month making many bitter
comparisons between the two countries. TO the
disadvantiss OF England. have caused me to
wonder at the acrimonious display OF feslins
and l. With many others who have discussed the
matter have come to the conclusion that either
the parties signing themselves American, -
" Uncle SAM &c, have not mad the advantage
OF travelling to see the country and its institu-
lions they condemn. or are hybrid EnGlishrnen
who have committed some criminal act in their
own countrr and have been compelled to cross
the ocean for " the food OF their health" and
dare not return to It. and, therefore, show their
mean spite, to ease their conscience and show
their Independence against q country which will
have nothing to do with criminals. Thess are
the only solutions any man who has travelled
can possibly md for 20 bitter 4 Jealousy against
a country where 537 saloon passengers on Ii
Paris. sailing yesterday, have gone to enjoy the
comforts Of English society and scenery.

THE TARIFF CRISIS.

Senator German labors under dis
advantage In the assault he has thought
proper to make on President Cleveland.
The people know that the President Is
right, and that all he aavs 10 truth Thay
know that Senator German is wrong,
that mis- action and that OF his few
associates cannot be justified: that II 4.
in direct conflict with the principles OF
Democracy, the rules of political or
ganization and the interests OF the
country.
Senator Germans speech. while
r-asked in personal denunciation OF the
President for some supposed duplicity
practised towards the Senators In regard
to Mr.. Cleveland's opinion of com
promise, IL In reality an attempt to
excuse or to Justify the obstructive
course OF those Democratic Senators
who have stood out In stubborn and
self-interested opposition to the Demo-
cratic Administration, the Democratic
House OF Representatives, the Demo-
cratic majority In the Senate and the
Democratic party on the tariff question.
Taking advantage OF the Democratic
necessity. three Senators combine to pro-
tect their own special interests. To ac-
complsh this they reverse the principle
of tariff reform to which the Democracy
is pledged, change the character OF the
| Tariff bill as II came from the House,
| and then declare that the bill as they
have transformed II must be accepted
as Democratic Tariff bill or the coun-
| try must remain under Mckinley pro-
lection for corporations. trusts and
monopolies.
Three Democratic Senators stand up
in opposition to forty OF their Demo-
cratic associates. to the Overwhelming
Democratic majority OF the House of
Representatives, TO the Democratic
President and the Democratic Secretary
OF the Treasury. and say: we will con
fer but you must yield what we demand
or We Will defeat your Tarifr bill"
This IA in plain truth the position
occupied by Senator German and his
associates. The Maryland Sena tor,
under the influences of past disappoint-
ments and present jealousies. may rail
at President Cleveland as savasely as
he pleases. but the people know the
facts to be as we have stated them, and
all Mr.. Germans special pleadinss can
not deceive or mislead them. 1t is plain
to see on whom the cenHure OF the party
and the country will fall.

other policeman woke up scligman and
his family, who slept in two little rooms

The smoke went up through the house,
and when Scligman, his wife and four
children were safely out Moran awoke
the families upstairs.
They all came out quietly enough
There was a fire in this house a year ago
and many OF the inmates were injured
in the halls and on the stairs by the
panic which ensued. They profted by
that lesson. The only time any OF them
got excited was when a man carried a
big trunk down the stairs on his back
and blocked up the doorway for 4 few
moments
The hremen made short work of the
flames. Only $50 damage was done.

A GOOD RADIANCE.

A proposition to abolish the once OF
Coroner has been made in the Constitu-
tional Convention, and meets with favor
In that body. as, indeed, It does generally
throughout the State.
N has long been evident that the once
of Coroner Ia not only unnecessary. but
productive OF evil. Legal and not medi-
cal qualification is needed In proceed
ings that are mainly judicial and in
which the technical rules of evidence are
to be observed. while any medical infor-
nation or Judgment that may be required,
may he obtained through expert pro-
fessional WITNESSES.
The political leaders will object to the
abolition OF the Coroner's Office because
1t cuts of q certain amount OF patronage.
They oppose ell such economical re-
forms. But the proposition ought to pre-
vail nevertheless. the more 40 because
the scandals OF the once are mainly
due to the fact that it IL treated az
political spoils.

About ShOcs,

An authority on shoes states that only
one person in every ten has a perfect
foot; that in order for the foot to retain
Its natural shape shoes should be Sought
at least two and half sizes too large
One Of the extra sizes allows for the
stretching of a new shoe, the second
for the expansion Of the foot when stand
ing, and the extra half size (Which is
only about one-eighth of an inch) permits
the foot to move comfortably.
The young women of to-day have bet
ter shaped feet than either their mothers
or srandmothers, because they appear
to appreciate more the beauty OF a per-
feet foot and are getting the proper sizes
and better shaped shoes.

days. Then strain and add one ounce
