A CURIOUS Renediction.

The Scotch Archbishop Foreman Cin the
sixteenth century, was so poor a Latin
scholar, says the Argonaut, that when
he was obliged to visit Rome he found
great difficulty in conforming to some of
the customs of the pope's table, to which
he was invited. Etiquette required that
the Scotch bishop should take part in
repast' and the iiliterate guest had care
fully committed to memory what he be-
lieved to be the orthodox form of words.
He began with his "Benedictite," expect
ting the cardinals to respond with Dom
mus" but they replying Deus" Qtalian
fashion, so confused the good bishop that
he forgot his carefully conned phrases,
and, 'in good. broad Scotch" said: ITO
the devil / give you all, false cardinalsr'
to which devout aspiration pope and car
dinals (who understood only their own
language piously replied amen"

A serIons Overnight.

There was quite an affecting scene in
the court of inquiry at the Brooklyn
navy yard on Wednesday. when Capt
Sumner Of the cruiser Columbia was
giving his testimony. The court was con-
vened for the purpose Of fixing the respon-
sibility for the damage TO the Columbia
when she was docked recently at South
ampton. England. for the purpose of
having her bottom cleaned and painted.
In his report on the matter 10 the navy
department. Capt. Sumner had said that
the damage was due to the fact that the
cruiser was structurally weak. All the
testimony taken by the court OF inquiry
prior to that of Capt. Sumner was to the
effect that the cruiser was not structur-
ally weak, and that he damage she sus-
tanned at Southampton was due to the
fact that she had been improperly locked.
The members Of the board Of inquiry
were naturally curious to see whether, in
the face Of such testimony as had been
given by the other officers of the cruiser,
Capt. Sumner would stick to the state
ment he made to the navy department
namely, that the cruiser was structur-
ally weak They were not expecting, how
ever that there would be anything dra-
matte in the proceedings.
Capt Sumner. when called to the wit.
ness stand, began reading a prepared
statement. He had not read very far
when his voice became husky and falter-
ing, and when he read this passage.
na
the dock and its appliances before dock
ing my ship" he threw aside his manu-
script and said: This was a serious over
sight on my part, and one I deeply re-
greet" At this time the captains voice
was chOked with sobs and tears rolled
down his cheeks. His big frame was con-
vulsed with emotion and he could not
speak
Naturally the court and spectators
were very much disturbed by so unexpect-
ed and so unusual a scene. To see the cap
tain Of the Columbia take his acknowl-
edged fault so much to heart excited con-
siderable sympathy in his behalf. After
he became calmer he explained that he
had so much confidence in the managers
of the Southampton dock that II never oc--
CURED to him to have the dock inspected
by his own officers before permitting his
vessel to be locked. AS a matter of fact
the Columbia was not placed properly
on the blocks in the dock. The dock peo-
pie did not do their work correctly. When
locked the big cruiser was out of center
line rs of an inch port forward, and ~
of an inch port aft.
The cruiser was not seriously damaged.
though she was strained considerably. 1t
depends upon the court of inquiry wheth-
er Capt. Sumner will be court martiaIed
or not. The finding of the court of in
quiry will not be known until after it has
been submitted to the Secretary Of the
Navy.
Capt. Summers oversight may be a
costly one to him. though it was not the
possibility of an adverse decision that af-
fected him to tears. 1t was the thought
that such an old an experienced officer as
he should have been guilty of such an
oversight as that to which he was forced
20 confess.

We doubt that the address issued by the
special committee of the state democratic
central cor;ra!ttee of Kentucky will have
the effect hoped for by the democratic
leaders of the state The lines between the
sound money democrats and the silver
democrats are so strictly drawn that the
democratic ticket is likely to lose great
many democratic votes. The men to
blame for this condition of affairs are
Gen. Hardin, the democratic candidate
for governor, and Mr.. Blackburn, DEM
ocratic candidate for senator. Gen. Har-
din accepted the platform when he accept
ed the nomination. He has broken faith
with the majority Of his party who made
the platform, and the disposition to pun
ish him for his conduct is strong.
Senator Blackburn, who has always
heretofore preached loyalty to party and
advocated strict party discipline, is now
ignoring all he has said on these points
in the past, because it happens to suit
his purpose to do so. 1t is even asserted
that if he does not get majority of the
legislature, he will not go into the DEM
oeratic senatorial caucus, but will make
a bid for the populist votes of the legis-
lature. One thing is quite certain, and
that is that If Hardin and Blackburn are
defeated in the pending campaign they
will never again be honored by the Dem
oeratic party of Kentucky.

work and wages.

Copper mining is one of the Industries
which the high protectionists predicted
would be utterly ruined by reduction of
the tariff. Since Aug. nine copper min
ing companies in Michigan have increased
the wages of their workmen 10 per cent,
the increase amounting in one county
alone to nearly $4,000 a month
The iron industry is another of those for
which disaster was predicted under re-
duced tariff. Probably every important
iron plant in the country is at work upon
full time Many of them are working over
time, and are still unable to keep up with
their orders. Employees of the iron and
steel works have had their wages raised
10 to % per cent. and there is no labor
trouble of any consequence in the iron
and steel producing business in this coun-
try. The iron works of Europe are said
to be taking orders that American mills
have declined. and American concerns are
shipping iron and steel products to Europe
and Asia, having underbid European man
ufacturers
Certain of the textile trades-carpet
manufacturing, for instance-were also to
fall into decline that would end in death
under the new tariff, according to the pro-
tectionists. Yet the other day the carpet
weavers of Philadelphia were granted an.
increase in wages. and the mills are at
work.
In 1890, almost Immediately upon the pas
sage of the Mckinley act, there began a
decline in wages which soon became gen.
eral, and which resulted. during the lat
ter part of President Harrison's adminis-
tratiOn. In the most disastrous labor dis
turbances this country has seen for great
many years, If indeed it ever before saw
labor troubles as deplorable and costly.
AS one result of the new tariff, and the
statesmanlike administration of the ma
tional government by the democrats, the
country is full of busy workingmen, who
are receiving Increased pay for their work.
The dollars that the worklngmen receive
in exchange for their work are as good
money as there is in the world. and they
VIII purchase more, dollar for dollar.
than they would four or five years ago.
These facts illustrate the difference be-
tween republleanism and democracy.

Boss Quay's Convention.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem.).

What was most remarkable among the
many queer incidents of the convention
was the appearance of Quay-in the role of
reformer with a string of resolutions look
ing to the cultivation of about all the polit-
ical virtues known to the sternest of pa
triots. The senator favored civil-service re-
form, the exclusion of political favoritism
from state and municipal government, the
exclusion of office-holders from primaries
and from the management of elections, the
safeguarding OF franchises, economy
everything, in fact. that he has been for
many years opposing And Pennsylvan-
ians seem to have taken his exhibition OF
virtue quite seriously.

South Cardinals record of murderers,
suicides and other crimes of violence dur
ing the. current week has been something
terrible. There has passed hardly one
day in the last seven during which there
was no murder, suicide or bloody fight in
the state. We cannot but believe that this
lamentable condition is due solely to the
fact that the people have but little re-
spect for the law, and none whatever for
the clique of politicians who, unfortu-
nately have secured control of the state.
1t has not been a great while, indeed,
since the state officials set the people an
example in the employment of violence by
arning a gang of toughs and instructing
them to shoot whomsoever dared defend
their homes against the entrance of the
toughs to search for eohtraband liquor.
A reference to back files of newspapers.

much. or more. bloodshed in South Caro-

The largest cotton tie factory in the
country is located at Pittsburg. Pa. A
day or two ago a man connected with the
manufacturing firm told the Pittsburg
Post that the mill was as busy as it could
be, and that orders for ties were coming
in faster than they could be filled. At
the same time, the operatives in the mills
were receiving advanced wages-the high
est for several years. Cotton ties are now
admitted free OF duty. The Mckinley law
placed prohibitory duty on cotton ties,
yet under that law the manufacture of
them Jagged. the wages of workmen were
reduced, and there were generally hard
times in the trade-for everybody except
the manufactures, who, having a monop-
oily, squeezed both the workmen and the
consumers.
