Old Coaching Days.

The old coaching days, as far as con.
venicncc for travel was concerned, were
the dawn Of the great days Of our pres
ent rapid means of communication. The
70 years or so in which mail coaches
waxed and flourished and finally died
out before the incurSion of railways and
steam engines have u decided flavor Of
romance attached to them, and no doubt
tho coming and going Of stagecoaches
lent certain amount of color and in
terest and life to the country places and
towns through which ran The great main
coaching roads. Tho Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots Of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their stcaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity of clockwork.
These stagecoaches, with their com.
plement of coachmcn and guards, af-
forded endless subjects Of interest and
illustration to the artist and tho literary
men Of the day. Imagine Charles Dick
ems without stagecoaches and denuded
of all his vivid descriptions of the
scenes such as those i'll the yard of the
White Hart inn, High street, Borough,
in "Pickwick, " OF of the mail coach on
the Dover road in ga Tale Of Two
Cities" 1t is difficult for the present
generation to realize tho fatigue and
tho wintry cold Of such long journeys,
when frozen feet were enveloped in a
little straw, and q ''shawl' folded
round the neck was thought to be fit
protection against the keen night air,
strong contrast to the luxurious cush-
toned carriages, hot water tins and fur
lined rugs and greatcoats Of the present
day. -London Spectator.

How He Kevenged Himself.

A capital story is told by we'll

a parish Of which he was formerly vicar.
This gentleman had rooted objection
to his pew being invaded, and upon one
occasion, at the conclusion Of a service.
he came to the vicar with bitter COM
plant againsta stranger who, unlimited,
had ventured to intrude into tho pew,
which was large, old fashioned, square
structure, capable Of holding nine-they

or, being the only occupants.
II would not" added the squire,
disturb divine service by putting him
out violently. The only thing I could

From the foregoing it will appear that
Major McKinley's majority in the popu-
lar vote will be about $4,000 instead OF
"more than Il Million" as predicted by
Mr.. Hanna, and his plurality over Mr.
Bryan 1864.
There is another interesting feature
with regard to the presidential vote in
its totality. In order that it may be
fully appreciated we tabulatc the same in
connection with the popular vote in 1892 !:
1892.
viewers vote. ,O4l US
lIarrlson's vote 5, l76, los
Clcveland's vote ........5, $3.50, 9l8
1896.
Prohibitionists Approximately. 1000
Palmer's vote approximately 100000
bryan'S vote ...................6, III ,o32
Mcklhley's vote. .............7,O $780, DIG
Thus Mr.. Bryan received G64 ,534 votes
more than Cleveland received in 1892,
when he carried 277 electoral votes
against Harrison's 145 and Viewers %
and yet the American people called IIar-
rison's defeat and Cleveand's victory the
"greatest landslide since Grant defeated
Greeley"
Another feature worthy of notice is the
fact that the total vote here given ex-
ceeds the total vote of 1892 by nearly
100000. That one may the more
readily appreciate the great increase, we
give the total popular vote OF 1888, 1892
and 1896:
1888, total popular vote. .... 1872 ,3S2
1892, total popular vote. ......12 i 10 ,636
1896, total popular vote. 10 ,562, 0GS
1t will be observed that the increase in
the popular vote from 1888 to 1892 was
but us, 254-while the increase from 1892
to 1896 was l ,451 ,432, or more than
double the increase in the preceding four
years.
CHANGING at the table of states given
above, it will be noticed that the states
OF Illinois, Indiana, kentucky and Ohio
piled up votes which not only outdid all
previous efforts in the history of the re :
public, but knocked all the precedents
established with reference to the ratio OF
eligible voters to the population into
smithereens. Let us examine these states
for moment and see the increase over
the vote OF 1892. We will give the states
and their previous and present vote in
the order named:

Reform School RGnOrt.

Superintendent Westendori OF the state
reform school will submit his biennial
report to the governor Immediately after
the next meeting of the board of trustees.
This report shows among other things
that the maintenance of the reform
school has cost the state less during the
last two years than it cost before, not
withstanding that the number Of inmates
has been greater than during any other
period OF its existence. SiXty-fve thous
and dollars was appropriated for the
school on March 81, 1895, and $4,000
additional for the purchase OF seventy
acres OF land. Up to this time $43, 55O.S7
OF the fund for maintenance has been
expended. AS there was an unexpended
balance OF S,625.45 On March II, 1895,
it will be seen that at the time the re-
port is dated the school had to its credit
S34, Sl5.29. The superintendent states
that at the expiration of two years, the
reform school will turn back into the state
treasury between $4,000 and $25 900 of
its appropriation. The amount of the
appropriation that will be asked for from
the next legislature has not been de-
termined, but it will probably not be
over $4,000 for the TWO years.

COLORED GLASS BOTTLES
Judge Morrow Renders a Decision as
to the Duty on Pints and
Quarters,

Judge Morrow of the United States Dis
trict Court handed down an opinion yes
terday affecting every importer of colored
glass bottles in the United States. The
suit in question was an appeal made by
w. R. Grace & Co. from decision of the
General Board of Appraisers in the matter
of duty on IA. 400 pint bottles imported by
the appellants.
Collector Wise held that the bottles were
subject to duty of rs cents per pound as
provided for by paragraph SS of the Will
son bill. The case was carried to the Cen
eral Board of Appraisers and the Collec-
tor sustained on the ground that they
came under the provision Of the act regu-
latlng the duty on bottles not larger than
one pint and not less than one-quarter of
a pint. In other words they were vials
within the meaning and intent of the law.
Grace e. Co. held that the bottles were
not vials and were not known as such.
They should have been dutiable either un-
der the section providing for "other col
ored bottles with an ad valorem duty of
40 per centnm or classed as 'other colored
glass bottles not named in this act'' and
subject to duty OF q of l cent per pound.
Judge Morrow reviewed the section
fully, reaching the conclusion that bottles
of the character named were subject to a
duty OF 11S cents per pound.

REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION.

AT 10 o'clock this morning, San Fran
cisco time, the eleventh Republican Ma
tional Convention will be called to order,
and after prayer by Rabbi SCles the busi-
ness in hand will be taken up and con-
tinued until a candidate for President and
a candidate for Vice-President of the
United States are nominated. There is
great difference of opinion as to
how many days the convention will
be in session. Not a few believe that
the majority have such complete control
that one event will follow another in rapid
succession, as per a previously arranged
programme, and that delegates will be at
liberty TO go home by tomorrow after
noon. There are others, however, who do
not believe the order ofnaming candidates
will be reached before Friday or Saturday,
but at this distance there does not appear
to be any reason why adjournment should
not be had some time tomorrow, unless
the committee on credentials is instructed
TO go down to the merits OF contests,
which it is not likely to do, although if it
does not it is likely to be severely censured
by not few.
Presumably the gen tlemen who shall
serve upon the platform committee are
already in possession of several declara-
tions of principles, put as we have already
said, the majority is so thoroughly organ
lied that most likely that submitted
will be accepted without much, if any, de-
bate. The only danger that can be fore
seen is that the platform may not en-
phasize enough the Importance of making
the tariff question paramount. The
whole country is in distress because of the
weakness or rather of the hostility, of the
present tariff law to our people, and
the people are desperately in earnest
in their demand for relief from the
destructive operation of that act. 1t GER
tainly is true that the monetary system of
the country needs revamping, but that
can wait until the stones that the Demo-
cratic party has rolled in the way of all
business enterprises are rolled away. Cali
fornia regards the restoration of the act OF
1890, or a law equally as favorable, as of
the greater Importance to her industries,
and it is to be hoped that the convention
will not fail to reflect the sincere wish of
the people in its platform. Nothing would
so enthuse the people as to be assured that
the convention realizes the necessity for
putting our industries upon safe basis at
the earliest day possible.

GIVE US PROTECTION
FIRST

The more the money question is talked
about the mere the people are impressed
with the importance of letting it rest until
the present Joseph's coat kind of a tariff
law is repealed and one enacted that will
start up the country's idle industrial en-
terprises and commercial agencies. 1t
would be like putting the cart before the
horse to undertake to keep mill and fac
tory idle until a monetary system was
agreed upon. What the great working
class want, and want right away, is a mar
llet for their skill and brain. They have
been held in the slavery of idleness too
long already, and they are restless for
work. A weak and uncertain monetary
system can be endured until there is a de.
mand for labor in all the avenues of en-
ployment. There need be no fear that the
people will not take up the money oues-
ton and settle it, and settle it right, as
soon as they have profitable work, but
what does any kind of monetary system
signify to the man who is living in en-
forced idleness2

be very superstitious; but if the fear OF
ill-fortune were to deter any of the tribe
from erecting stately houses in London,
he would certainly be justified by prece-
dent. To take a few cases. The downfall
of Hudson, the rail way king. followed on
his beginning to build house for him
self which should eclipse all others.
Baron Albert Grant never got further
than the foundations of the palace which
he intended to have named Kensington
Court. Mr.. Sanford had hardly rebuilt
the interior of his house in Carlton House
Terrace when "Argentines' went down
and he was obliged to sell it to Mrs.
Mackay. The completion of Lord Revel-
stokes palace in Charles street coincided
with the Barring crisis, and it has been to
let ever since. Lord Rosebery rebuilt his
house just in time to enable him to occupy
it on the collapse of the Government.
Now the disasters which have fallen on
the Chartered Company coincide with the
completion of the external structure OF
