PArRlOrISM TIE woRn.

We regret to see some of our es-
teemed Republican contemporaries OBJ
truding violent craftsmanship at this
time. 1t is not the time for it. The
Republicans have had wisdom and
principle and patriotism and pluck
enough to plant themselves on q plat
form which is the hope Of the country.
They have done right at a time when
such doing was sadly needed. Their
platform is broad enough and strong
enough to hold them and all others
who may wish to stand upon it. Many
others do wish to stand upon it. They
are willing to break their party ties
and act like true men for the good of
their country. They should not be dis
couraged or disgusted by displays of a
craftsmanship not inspired by honest
patriotism. They should be welcomed
as generously as they come, and all
who stand upon the platform of good
government, honest money, the preser-
walton Of the nations credit, the de-
Tense of the Supreme court and sound
social order should stand together like
a band OF brothers. Patriotism, not
partiSanship, is the word.

No cRoss or CR0WN IYANTED.

Brother Bryan has said several times
that it will not do to cruelty the peo-
pie of this country on a cross of gold
or press down crown of golden thorns
on the brow of labor. We should think
not. 1t would be an unusual and bar
barous proceeding, against the law and
against common humanity. But how
about crucifying the people on a cross
of silver? VIII crucifixion on a cross
of silver hurt less than erucifixion on
a cross of gold, or be any less unusual
and barbarous? We trow not. And
will crown of silver thorns pressed
down on the brow of labor hurt less
than a crown of gold thorns pressed
down on the same brow? Alas, no.
Let Brother Bryan continue to pro-
test against the formation and execu-
ton of any plan to cruelty the people
on a cross of gold, or make labor's
brow bleed because of crown of
golden thorns. 1t does MIN credlt ana
shows that he has heart, and that
his heart beats warmly for his fellow
men. And while he is engaged in fix
ing things SO that the people will be
safe from the gold cross and labor's
brow will be safe from the golden
thorns, others should be equally in
dustrious in planning to avoid silver
crueifixion for the people and silver
thorns for the brow of labor. Perhaps
between his efforts and the efforts OF
others we shall not have to be cruel
fed on either a gold or a silver cross
and labors brow may not have to drip
with anything but honest sweat. Let
us hope not. No cross or crown want
ed, should be the cry.

a OuEER GERn4N LILY.

The law against unfair competition
which was adopted in the German
Reichstag last May is now in force.
This measure is intended not so much
to protect the public against fraud as
to afford tradesmen means of protect
ing themselves against what may be
business rivals. The provisions. how
ever, are SO vague that they are ex-
upon all kinds of Industrial and COM
mercial competition. If manufact-
urer or tradesman considers himself
put at a disadvantage by the methods
Of a competitor he may institute civil
proceedings against him with the OBJ
ject of obtaining an injunction against
the obnoxious practices, or an indem-
nifty for damage thereby caused, or the
punishment Of the offender. Among
the kinds of unfair competition within
the sense of the law are the use of false
weights and measures, the circulation
Of advertisements containing incorrect
descriptions of goods, and the uttering
Of commercial libels. Newspapers
which Intentionally print inexact ad-
vertisements or persons who conscious
ly indulge in or circulate commercial
Islander come within the scope of the
act 1t is obvious that these provis-
ions are capable of most elastic inter
probation, and it is foreseen that the
jurisdiction of the civil courts will be
considerably widened. No mention is
made Of any special penalty to be ex-
acted from the instigator of a purely
malicious or envious prosecution.

FASHION NOTES.
Woman on Wheels.

The woman with the small waist is
getting foothold on the wheel. How
she does it is a mystery, but the num-
Der of tiny waists confined by narrow
glazed leather belts that spin along the
wheel drives is appalling. OF course
the girl is killing herself and of course
to the trained eye the awful pinch in is
obnoxious, yet so long as there are
those to whose observation the circun1-
ference of the waist alone appeals as
the figure, just so long the waist that is
tiny will have admirers, and lust so
long will there be girls to bid for such
admiration Frequent as this offence
to health, beauty and sense is, it is not
the fashion. Here is the wheel rig
worn by very fashionable and. alas,
very stout rider; blue serge skirt, cut
round with no patent divided effects.

ooze leather laced boots of bright tan.

A contemporary writer, Kochowsky,
poured out his lamentations on the war
in these terms: How dear has this et-
cetera been to us! With how many
lives have these two potentates paid for
these missing eight letters! With what
streams Of blood has the failure of a
few drops of ink been avenged!"
In Article III. of the treaty it was ex-
plicitly laid down that the custom of
shortening titles by "etceteration"
should still hold good, but that for the
future each Of the two parties should
give the other three etceteras.

Boothby told us another story about

had figured prominently in it himself
The story concerned a habit engineers
on the Vandalia and the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi roads had of racing. Just east
of East st. Louis is the crossing of a
belt railroad, and from there on to the
bluffs, seven miles away, is straight
streak of parallel track. AS the outgo-
ing passenger trains all leave East ST.
Louis at about the same time, it was
the regular thing for Ohio and Missis-
sippi and Van engineers to hammer for
their lives over these seven miles, while
the passengers yelled defiance at one
another and whooped and got excited.
The Ohio and Mississippi had one en-
CINE, the go, which was able to walk
away from everything ever put up
against her. She had Inundated all
the Van engineers, excepting Boothby,
and he fairly ached to get at her One
day, just as he had whistled for the
crossing, he heard another whistle, and,
looking over, saw the Ohio and Missis-
sippi train abreast. The engines num-

An Ohio manufacturing concern,
which has been experimenting with
profit-sharing plans for eleven years,
has finally evolved plan radically
different from profit-sharing and more
like a permanent wage increase, with
a provision for Withholding the in
crease from the more negligent work
men. At first the commonly alked-of
pIan of dividing O. certain portion of
the profits among the workmen was
tried, each employee sharing according
to his earnings. The first dividend to
employees was declared at the end of
six months, and was at the rate of
13.47 per cent on the wages paid. One
workman received $275 in dividend.
But it was found the men did not take
much interest in this plan, so it was
modified and the men were arbitrarily
classified according to the interest they
were understood to show in their work
and their efficiency, the most active
receiving a larger share than the 9TH
ers. and all dividends being withheld
from, those who were noticeably care
less. The money so withheld did not
go to the firm, but was added to the
mart allotted TO the workmen and
divided among them. Then the firm
became corporation and the plan

A War About an Etcetera.
From Tit-Bits.)


In 1854 a Polish nobleman became OBJ
noxious to the laws of his country by
reason of crime. He fled TO Sweden,
whereupon John Cassimir, King of Po-
land, wrote to Charles Gustavus, King
of Sweden, demanding the extradition
of the criminal.
The King of Sweden. on reading the
dispatch, noticed that his own name
titles were followed by only two etcete-
ras, while the name of the King of Po-
land was followed by three.
The missing etcetera so enraged the
King of Sweden that he at once de-
clared war against Poland. This war
was carried on with great bitterness
until 1860, when a peace was signed at
Olivia, near Dantzig.
