Another EaiI.

The increased number and prosperity
Of the tin-plate mills drive another nail
In the coffin Of fMcKin1eyism. Thenew
tariff made tin ore free, and it was be-
fore the Mckinley bill clapped on the
preposterous and oppressive tax Of
4 cents pound. It also reduced
the duty on tin plate from 22-lo
cents pound to I-5 cents. Yet there
are 35 tin works rolling their own
blnek plates and z in course of erec-
ton. In addition, there are 80 tin
plate dipping works prospecting be-
cause of the untaxed metal. The
amount of finished plates will be in
creased this year, according TO the
Metal Worker, from 4, 10, 900 boxes of
finished plates to 5,50o, 900 boxes, or
nearly four-ffths the consumption.
The logic of events is making short
work with the theories of igh-tariff

a MONKEY as 8 pentIst.

A man in Ontario once owned mon
key named "Dot, which was brought
from Deccan, India, It had been suffer
ing from toothache for several days.
At last the pain became more than or
dinarily severe, and the monkey, like
it's human type, resolved at last to
undergo dental operation. But the
dentist, strange to say, was itself.
Dot found string, fastened it around
the aching tooth, seized the end of the
string with It's fore feet, drew up one
OF its hind legs between it's fore feet,
and gave a sudden shove, which jerked
the tooth out and sent it flying half
way across the room. This having
been accomplished, the monkey re-
sumed its natural cheerfulness and
amiability Christian at Work.

CONDOLENCES OF CLIENTS.

A Noted Precedent Which Stamps Them
as Inviolab1e
The matter of condolences between
counsel and client is one of great inter
est and Importance, said well-lznown
jurist and ex-judge the other day.
As to the duty Of a lawyer on the
trial Of case where he has been In
formed by his client that he is guilty,
the best and most controlling example
is that of Charles James Phillips, the
eminent British barrister, who in many
directions was rated in his time as sec
ond only to Lord Erskine.
He was defending Courvoisier, who
was indicted for the murder of Lord
Russell. During the trial, on the ex-
animation of a very important witness
for the people, the accused was much
overcome, and in the intensity of his
emotion communicated either to Mr.
Phillips or to his solicitor the fact that
he was guilty of the crime.
Mr.. Phillips Immediately asked for an
adjournment of the case, and for con-
sultation with the judges. The con-
sultation was granted, and Mr.. Phillips
stated to the bench that the accused
had confessed his guilt, and requested
the judges to point out to him his path
of duty. The judges, after deliberation,
stated that he would have a perfect
right to make such legal and logical de-
dnctions from the evidence as he
thought tended to the exeulpatlon of
the accused, but it would be unprofes-
sional to state to the jury any personal
belief of his innocence
In his argument to the jury Mr..
Phillips, carried away by his emotions
and imagination, did state to the jury
his own personal belief in the innocence
of his client, and this statement of his
occasioned much criticism afterward

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.


| Republicans Trying to Dodge Their Own
Arguments.
The republican papers resisted the
| improvement In business as long as
they were able. They were unwilling
to admit that improvement was taking
place. They made themselves ridicu-
lous by calamity howls even after their
news columns announced the unnis-
taxable Improvement in business. Now
that they deem it inexpedient longer
to deny the fact, they insist that the
democratic party is not entitled to any
credit for it.
The new attitude Is as untenable and
inconsistent as the old one. Repub-
licans have always maintained that
whatever happened under republican
rule was due to republican rule, al
ways provided It was favorable. They
have insisted that whatever occurs
under democratic administration Is
due to the acts of that administra-
ton. provided always 1t is in the
nature of disaster. But these two
positions cannot be held together.
They are absurd. IL the repub-
licans are entitled to credit for
prosperity when they are in power,
so are the democrats under similar com
ditions. They held the democrats re-
sponsible for panic which began and
ran much Of its course before the dem
ocrats had legislated at all This was,
of course, altogether unjust and un-
reasonable. But after the party had
perfected all the legislation that it was
able to perfect, republican papers and
politicians said the laws passed, es-
pecia1ly the tariff bill, would ruin the
country. They admit that the tariff
bill cannot be changed for two years,
but still they insist that 1t has had
nothing to do with the return Of pros
perity. In saying this, they ignore or
repudiate the arguments which they
have been urging for twenty years.
Acute observers know very well thai
we were near panic in February last,
and that the action of the administra~
ton averted it. This action was de-
nounced by republicans at the time,
but business interests have been on the
upgrade ever since. For this the
democratic administration IS entitled
to the whole credit. To deny it is to
cast reflection on ones own intelli-
gence. Louisville Courier-J Journal.

Why Children Are Led to Make False
Statements.


Nothing is more common than to find
children. with an evidently rudimen-
tary conception OF truth, who willfnlly
and often for no reason make exag-
geratea or false statements, who Seem
really to deceive themselves as well as
others, who make their relatives mis-
cradle by threatened lack of responsi-
bi1ity, which, spreading out in many
ways, points to an unhappy or diz-
graceful life.
This fear is SO common that the ms
jority of people, I fancy, have felt it
more or less. 1t is SO natural to re-
gard truth as the foundation of our
whole moral structure, to look upon it
as the loveliest productof fine char
acter, that any deviation from it1nust
necessarily be held as most unfortun-
ate. / should be similarly impressed
If / did not feel certain that the fear is
often wrongly placed, that this habit
sual telling of falsehood has its origin,
not in yiciousness or a spontaneous de-
sire to deceive, but rather in causes for
which the person is not entirely re-
sponsible; which, on the contrary, are
the natural results Of natural causes.
