Strange Sermon in a Slave Pen.

A Life Study.

They met ona holiday train writes "E. M
in the New York Press. The crowd was
rough and a drunken man insulted her. He
| protected her as any gentleman would have
| done. When they left the train il rained and
| he sheltered her with his umbrella to her
/ door. She was well educated for a lower
| New York girl, with fine instincts and quick
| to grasp ideas He saw her often afterward,
| for he wanted to study her He thought he
might get some good material for story.
| His perfect manners and interesting talk
| formed new experience for her She began
| to look forward to her meeting with him
| anxiously. She tried very hard to please
| him. She noticed that he avoided the indis-
| crlmlnate use Of the words ladies' and gen
tlemen." She, too, spoke Of people as men"
and women" When she had learned this
| thoroughly she had won a great victory over
environment.
One night, on the Long Branch boat, in a
particularly happy mood, she pointed to a
/ bright star and said:
That is our star"
He smiled and said; "Yes?"
| He sometimes called her ma chere.
When he told her what it meant she was
happy.
She had a very interesting character and he
was making a thorough study of it. He bad
her tell him about the lives of her &C
| quaintances. His story was getting along
famOusly. but he did not tell her about that.
In fact, he did not even tell her his real name
BY and by his study from the life was
finished
AS they parted one night he told her he was
going away for a long time. 1t seemed to
startle her. When he turned to go she put
her arms around his neck and kissed him. She
wondered if he would write to her, but she did
not ask him to. She really seemed very
human for a downtown girl, and perhaps he
wished for an instant he had met her in Fifth
avenue drawing room and that she had been
educated IN Paris.
He went to his room and finished the last
chapter of his story. 1t is a good story and
has had large sale.
She went TO her room, in that almost foreign
country, downtown" and sobbed herself to
sleep.

Demand of the Sugar Planters.

A committee of Louisiana sugar planters
is in Washington 10 present the ulti-
matum of the sugar planters of that
state in respect TO the tariff bill.
The planters say they must have the
bounty of cents pound on sugar con-
tinued for fifteen years, in accordance
with the agreement that was made when
the bounty was adopted, or they must
have duty of , cents pound. II they
cannot get either then they will insist
that the Louisiana congressman shall do
all they can to defeat the Wilson bill.
They assert positively that sugar cannot
be produced in louisiana for less than A.
to cents pound. Sugar is now selling
at 2s4 cents per pound. Even a ? cents
duty or a cents bounty leaves them but
a small margin Of profit. II the sugar
schedule of the Wilson bill goes into eff
feet the sugar mills will have to be closed
and the sugar lands will go to waste un-
less they can be utilized for some other
crops
1t is evident that the sugar question is
going to cut quite a figure in the tariff
debate. An effort will be made to put
duty en- sugar for revenue instead of re-
sorting to an income tax to make up the
deficiency in the revenue. But if duty
should be put on sugar, it would not be 2
cents a pound. Any less duty than that,
however, according to the showing made
by the planters, would not enable them to
make sugar at profit They might be
induced to think they could live if
duty of II cents a pound were
placed on sugar, Though if their statement
of the cost of production is correct that
amount of duty would not help them out
of their difficulty
Louisiana has great deal at stake in
this matter and her congressman are 60
ing to make hard fight before acknowl-
edging defeat

Is Dorsey Well Informed ?

Ex-senator Dorsey, a republican,
stated in Chicago on Monday, that the
Wilson bill would not be passed in it's
present shape. He asserted that four
democratic senators told him they would
not support it unless amended in many
important particulars, and that as it is at
present it would not be supported by
majority of the senators. Is this ex-re-
publican senator well informed2 If so,
are there not democrats who are ready TO
prove false to their party and their
party's pledges3
The democrats may rest assured that
they will have to pass the Wilson bill or
enter the congressional campaign next
fall with almost certainty that they
will lose control of the House With a
republican House they could do nothing
that would aid them in the presidential
campaign of 1896
Nothing would give the republicans so
much satisfaction as to have the Wilson
bill defeated. They say it would work
great injury to the industries, and that
it would paralyze business. In view of the
fact that they prefer party advantage to
VIC NOuhbAJ pAOoHClAb1 bAlCy NOul1
welcome the passage of the bill if they
believed what they say. The fact that
they are leaving nothing ndone to de-
feat it is satisfactory evidence that they
are afraid that if it should become law
period of great prosperity would follow,
and their party would be kept out of
power for long time.
What they want is the defeat Of the
bill. 1t cannot be defeated except with
the assistance of democrats. Democratic
congressman understand this, and it is
therefore doubtful that four or any other
number of democratic senators told ex-
Senator Dorsey that they would not vote
for the bill
No doubt amendments will be offered
that will receive democratic support, but
there is not as yet any ground for believ-
ing that any changes will be made in the
bill that will give aid and comfort to the
republicans. There are democrats who
are opposed to certain features of the
bill, but they will vote for it even if those
features should not be changed so as to
meet their approval.

Straight at the root of sorrow, grief and

And promise all things, without cost, to

Save in one weakness good, for naught is
said,
No single word or hint Of how or when.
Must one wait till all proper hope is dead?
How long, oh promise ere I'm free again?
How long how long !-vainly the echoes
strive,
Oh tickle promisei better never said
An ignis fatuus, keeping strength alive,
Only to suffer more till hope is dead.

Plainly the promise reads in this LIES

Or else it said, be humble, patient, bear
Your ills, till you shall die and live again.

The prevailing warm weather in New
York state has, according to a bright
young man who sends market reports to
Philadelphia paper, played havoc with
the egg market in New York city. Within
two weeks the market has declined from
2S to II cents per dozen, because of heavy
receipts. The young man accounts for
the exceptional receipts by saying the
warm weather fooled all the hens, max
ing them think spring had opened in earn
est. with the result that they all wanted
to go to sitting. To get ahead of the hens,
the farmers gathered every egg they
could find, rushed them to town and
smashed the market.

IT'S EFFECT ON FISHING.

The New England Grocer is of the
oplnion that the passage of the wilson
hill will be disastrous to American hsh-
cries It declares that Is per cent al
valorem duty on fish, contained In the
bill. is practically free trade" This is
what it says:
"Their Canadian competitors have
cheaper schooners, cheaper labor cheap
er gear. Their nearness to the fishing
grounds Is another important advant-
age. Then it should not be forgotten
that our fishing vessels are still denied
most of the usual commercial rights and
privileges in Canadian ports unless they
are purchased at the cost of a heavy
tribute. Finally the Canadian fisheries
are fostered and protected by a liberal
system of bounties from the Dominion
treasury.
"There was a time when the United
States granted bounties to the fishermen
of New England. Our fleets grew and
p~rospered under the legislation, but the
bounties were withdrawn. The bounties
received by Canadian fishermen are
paid out of the Halifax award of So
500, 900. The system was founded in 1882.
The size of the Canadian ocean fleet has
steadily increased under it, and the
character of the vessels has undergone
a. transformation. There are about 800
schooners and $1,000 boats engaged in
the Provincial fisheries, manned by
about 5000 or 10000 seamen. In ten
years the Canadian government has eX-
pended 81, 1858, 1876 in bounties. Canadian
competition would be formidable enough
without this government assistance. As
1t is, to compel the United States fisher
men to meet their Canadian rivals UNI
der free trade, with all the advantages
which they possess. is practically to
legislate the New England fisheries out
of existence. The men of the Gloucester
fleet earned, on an average, only $226.41
by their arduous and perilous labors in
1892"
