He Belongs to the Nation.

Nothing could exceed the kindness Of
Democratic organs in these trying mid
summer days. 1t might naturally be sup
posed that with their own party shat.
tered and demoralized, their administra-
ton hopeless failure and their patch
work tariff daily demon strating its made
quacy to the needs of the government,
these powerful molders of opinion would
be impelled to devote their attention to the
task of mending Democratic fences. But
this is not the case. With signal unset
fishness they are devoting their chief ener
gies to mapping out policies for the Re-
publican party and selecting Republican
presidential candidates. The earnestness
with which Democratic organs are CON
stantly warning Republicans that if they
attempt to make an issue of protection
they will be surely beaten by an indig-
nant uprising of the people in behalf of
the tariff which Grover Cleveland stig-
matted as the product of 'perfidy and dis
honor, Is one of the most impressive
features of American politics. The only
thing that equals it is the portentous
Democratic discovery that Thomas B.
Reed lives too far East to be available as
a Republican nominee for the presidency.
The assertion that ex-Speaker Reed is
Ineligible because he is Maine man is
being uttered with great righteousness
and vigor by our Democratic friends. In
deed. there seems to be distinct danger
that they may overdo the business. 1t is
quite within the bounds of possibility that
Republicans may suspect that this tor
rent Of Democratic advice Is inspired by
interested motives For although Demo-
cratic newspapers are much given to say
ing absurd things, 1t would be difficult to
imagine any falsehood more ridiculous
that the allegation that Thomas Brackett
Reed is regarded by the American people
merely as citizen of Maine
The stalwart statesman who enforced
the principle of majority rule in the Fiji
ty-frst Congress against the savage revolt
of an abusive Democratic mob does not
belong to any single commonwealth but
to the whole nation. His achievements
have all been performed in the broad
arena OF national affairs. His courage
has been tested his craftsmanship proved
and his patriotism conspicuously dis
played In dealing with the great problems
of national government His name Is as
well known in Portland, Oregon, as in
Portland, Maine. His record as a fear
less and able defender of American in
dustries, American principles and Ameri-
can honor is tower of strength for the
Republican cause In every corner of the
United States. The voters do not know
him as the man from Maine They know
him as an American, first, last and all the
time. AS an American he was elected
speaker of the fifty first House As an
American he will be chosen speaker of the
fifty-fourth. And as an American he will
receive whatever further honors his coun-
trymen may have in store for him.

Judging from their own statements
such of New York's population as aren t
rumsellers must be inebriates. Only give
them their rum on Sunday and 1t matters
not what the law Is They would sacrifice
law enforcing administration for one
that makes laws for the purpose of break
Ing. They will gladly pay blackmail
with what money they don't spend for
rum. They want the saloon left open for
they don't want the home res traint on
their debauchery. They say rum is a
necessity of life If these aren't symptoms
of inebrlety what are they? They say
poor people must have theirbeer This is
wrong end to- beer people must have
their poor. Tammany made the law and
called 1t good and now the people are said
to want TammaDy back in power so the
law won't be enforced. We don't believe
oil these statements which come from
New York city, II we did, we could not
avoid the conclusion that 1t was metro

Count Kurino, the Japanese minister,

hostile to Japan. 1t Is doubtful II he
would admit such, hostility in any event
except hostilities were declared. He also

Mr.. Young entered Bowdoin College In
1855 at the age of 16 and graduated with
honors in the class of 1859. The next
few years he was occupied in teaching and
was elected as professor Of modern Ian

chair he held until 1876. He was also
elected librarian of the college In 1863 and
continued in that capacity until 1859.
In 1874 he was elected treasurer of the
college which position he held until his
death. He took an active interest in the
politics of his section and was elected to
the State Senate in 1888 and re elected IN

member of the Legislature and had he de-

STEVENSON'S PlRATICAL PLAN.
He Tells How Easy 1t Would Be to Rob
London Hotels on Sunday.


The last time l had the happiness of see
ing Stevenson was on Sunday, Aug. 81,
1887. He had been brought up from
Bournemouth the day before in wretched
condition of health and was lodged in
private hotel in Finsbury Circus, in the
city, ready to be easily moved to steamer
in the Thames on the morrow. l was
warned, in note, of his passage through
town and of the uncertainty whether he
could be seen. On the chance went over
carly on the morrow, and, very happily for
me, he had had n fair night and could see
me for an hour or two. No one else but
Mrs. Stevenson was with him. His posi-
ton was one which might have daunted
any mans spirit, doomed to exile, In mis-
cradle health, starting Vaguely across the
Atlantic, with all his domestic interests
rooted up, and with no notion where or
if at all they should be replanted. If ever
a man of imagination could be excused
for repining, it was now. But Louis show
ed no white feather. He was radiantly
humorous and romantic.
1t was church time and there was some
talk Of my witnessing his will, which l
did not do, because there could be found
no other reputable witness, the whole crew
of the hotel being at church. This set
Louis off on splendid dream of romance.
"This," he said, lis the way In which our
valuable city hotels packed doubtless
with rich objects of jcwelry-are deserted
on q Sunday morning. Some bold pirat-
ical fellow, defying the spitt of Sabbath
rianism, might make a handsome revenue
by sacking the derelict hotels between the
hours of 10 and II. One hotel a week
would suffice to enable such man to re
tire into private life within the space of
year. A mask might perhaps be worn for
the mere fancy of the thing and to terrify
kitchen maids, but no real disguise would
be nccdful to an enterprise that would re-
quire nothing but q brave heart and a
careful study of the City Postal Dirccto-
ry." He spoke of the matter with so much
fire and gallantry that blushed for the
youth of England and it's lack of manly
enterprise. No ono ever could describe
preposterous conduct with such o convinc-
ing air us Louis could. Common sense
was positively humblod in his presence

Origin of q Phrase.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with their
fore feet They paved it out sometimes to
the depth of several inches, sometimes a
foot or more. These holes We're called
"scrapss, and travellers at dusk or night,
or those who were careless about their foot
ing, often tumbled into them. They were
laughed at for their hcedlessRess when
they came home covered with mud, and as
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit, they We're said to
have gotten into a scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this expression,
and thus it came to be applied to people
who had gotten into difficulties of various
sorts.-New York Ledger.

Interesting Facts.

The wooden manufacturers of Olney-
vile, r. l came in for good deal of
criticism from the Democratic press be-
cause of their recent refusal to raise
wages This attack was to be expected.
Every slight advance in wages, from the
depths to which they had fallen during
the free trade agitation, has been clutched
at by the Democratic press as q drown
ing man clutches at a straw. All
comparison with the scale of wages under
the prosperity Of a protective tariff on
principle was studiously avoided. Every
advance in wages was heralded but not
upon It's merit, not as partial restora
ton, a semi-recovery from the industrial
assault Of the Democratic party, but as
an advance to be credited to the German
Wilson hybrid tariff per se Consequently
when public attention was called to the
Olneyville strike it was felt to be neces-
sary to defend the "perfdy" and "dishon-
or" by attacking the wooden manufactur-
ers, who, by reason of the lines of goods
manufactured at their mills, were serious
ly feeling the effects of the new tariff.
Now it would be no more than just for
these organs to publish certain facts bear
ing upon this, and recently made public.
They have not done so, however, and no
one acquainted with their methods really
expects them to. But these facts arc of
cause of their first appearance in the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
trade journal imbued with lower tariff
tendencies.
The Reporters special correspondent in
the English manufacturing district of
Yorkshire is the authority and he has been
making a careful investigation of the
wage scale in Bradford and Huddersfleld
He found, as appears in the Reporter for
July 18th, that Olneyville weavers are
paid today "1l2 per cent. more than the
weavers Of Bradford" also that the
NEVILLE district are 100 per cent higher
than those of the operatives In the English
district. Speaking of a Bradford mill the
correspondent says:
Right through the whole mill, from
wool securing to finishing, there is the
same difference In wages to be chronicled
And fail to see, viewing the subject from
an unprejudiced standpoint. how your
domestic manufacturers can hold the
fort In opposition to foreign makers
While in Olneyvlllc your weavers are av-
eragng 50 to Sl2 per week, Yorkshire
weavers shog home with So 40 to $3.50
per week, while few more average triHe
more"
These facts are significant. They dem
onstrate conclusively that the American
manufacturers, on whom the tariff changes
fall most heavily, are struggling as best
they may, because they know from the Re
publican victories of last fall that the tar
if will be treated In spirit of fairness
to American industries. 1t seems incredi-
BILE that any one can believe that these
same manufacturers would have gone on
manufacturing and piling up goods for
future delivery had not the people of the
nation rebuked not only what the Demo-
cratic Congress had done but what Presi-
dent Cleveland, Chairman Wilson and
other leaders threatened to do in the next
Congress
