New England,ssin this tariff business,
is in the position of the prodigal son
who became swine tender in far
country. By the faction of Democratic
Congressman whom sne has sent to
Washing ton, and by til Q persistent lead
ership of some OF her great newspapers,
New England has assisted in the agita-
ton against protection. The Southern
free traders fattered this element in
New England by promising free raw
materials, especially coal and iron.
There has not been campaign in the
last five years that Democratic orators
have not peram bulated New England
promising free raw materials for our
industries. The Russells of Massachu-
setts were always harping about the in
dustries that were leaving Massachusetts
because coal and iron were not free. Tt
is to the credit of the New England
Democratic Congressman that only one
of them voted for this bill, which frees
no important raw material except wool.
The others seemed to realize that it was
a good time to be moving toward their
fathers house.

dent ever undertook has gone through
its successive stages to this ridiculous
and humiliating conclusion. We say
humiliating, because no Democrat can
review the Democratic Administration s
policy since Paramount Blouut was sent
out to Honolulu without feeling that.
as Democrat, he must to some extent
partake of the Administrations shame.h
Wipe out the dismal story, if you can,
from your minds; and in affairs of for
eign policy yet to come, judge the Presi-
dent and the Secretary not by what they
attempted to do il Hawaii, but rather
by the zeal for American interests, the
patriotic spirit and the true Americanism

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

There is no country in the world where
practice and profession are more widely
separated than in China. The empire
is prominently one Of make believe.
From the Emperor to the meanest of his
subjects system of high-sounding pre-
tension to lofty principles OF morality
holds sway, while the life of the naaion
is in direct contradiction to these as
sumptions. No imperial edict is COM
plete, and no official proclamation finds
currency, without protestations in favor
OF all the virtues.
There seems no doubt that Pope Leo
XIII, despite his great age and his al
ways slender physique, really has what
would be good health for much young
er man. HIS appetite never fails, nor
his digestion. He eats three meals day
with absolute regularity. His break
fast at O'Clock is light. consisting of a
cup OF chocolate and bit of bread; his
luncheon at 2 comprises soup, one or
two courses of meat, fruit and glass of
Bordeaux. At 0 he takes his third
meal, which is like the second. His
sleep is long and quiet
A writer in the Central Africa Gazette,
from Tete says that at the rate at which
elephants of all sizes are at present being
killed off in South and Central Africa
there is little doubt that in a few years
they will be practically exterminated in
those regions. From iTete and Jumbo
alone the traders annually send 5000
hunters to the countries north of the
Fam best, who shoot indiscriminately,
regardless of an elephants age or the size
of his tusks The writer recommends
all the powers having territories in
Africa to form union and prohibit the
expectation of tusks under ten pounds
in weight.
