NOT WELL TAKEN.

One of our Democratic contemporaries
suggests that "History is repeating 1t
SELF, SIN the effort that quite a number
OF the high protectionists are making TO
IN some way compromise the currency
Question for the purpose of getting an
opportunity to revise the tariff ana inn
pose high rates of duty" Our contempo-
rary goes on to refer to the timoronsness
on the slavery issue of the old Whig pro-
tectfonists of 1850
fhe point is not well taken. AS a mat
ter of fact. TO make terms with the silver
lies which would involve a surrender of
principle is precisely what the present
protectionists have emphatically refused
TO do. 10 refresh our contempC rary's
memory, we will refer IL to most strik-
ing and significant passage in the recent
debate on the revenue bill in Washing
ton. Senator Allen, as spokesman for
the silver Democrats and Populists, ex-
asperated by the firmness of the sound
money Repu ublicans, strode out before the
desk OF the Vice President and shak ing
his hnger in the face of Senator Aldrich
OF the finance committee, angrily asked
him "whether the Republicans would ac-
cept the Dingley bill as 1t came from the
House with free coinage amendmentY'
"No, sir. ~ replied Mr.. Aldrich, with all
the emphasis at his command, amid the
applause of his Republican colleagues.
"Would you accept the Mckinley bill
with free coinage amendment?" in
quired Allen.
"No," was the response, followed by
cheers from every part of the Republican
side of the chamber.
"Are there any circumstances i'm which
you would accept free coinage?''
mo" shouted Senator Hawley and
Others, while Senator Platt amended by
adding, "Unless by international agree
ment.n
There is none of the feeble compromis-
Ing spirit of the old Wings here rat her
the splendid courags of the Free Sellers
and pioneer Republicans. The Dingley
bill would have instantly cured the deficit
in our national revenues and incidentally
given relief to hard pressed American in
dustries, but its Republican supporters
manfully preferred its defeat to its en-
ac,ment on dishonorable terms. Boston

TUESDAY, MARCH "a, 1895.

The face of the Hon. CHARLES COTTON
SEED NICHOLS is wreathed in smiles. His
step is agile and his eye glints. Where
he treads the pave no shadow falls for
there is sunlight all around, on every
eide, above and below him. There is
hope in his hair and satisfaction in his
moustache. Through the snowy carpet,
the roses peep and nod coquettishly at
him. Nearly three months have passed
since he took up position on the top OF
the Corliss safe in the treasurer's Office
and not salary has yet been raised.

THAT staunch old-time Democrat, our
esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. JOSIAH b.
BowDrTcH, describes the platform OF the
Rhode Island Democrats as "dull as ditch
water" and eloquent with cowardice
and treachery," and suggests that "until
the party is ready to fight for principle
rather than pelf 1t must remain dis
organized, mercenary mob" We would
not have used such excellently express
i've language as that for fear that some
of our esteemed readers would have con-
sidered that we had partizan bias.

UP in Pingreed Detroit it is said you

fore we pause TO admire this wonder we

body up in Detroit is being cheated or

THE mRTNLEY BOOMERS.

The McKinleyites have demonstrated
that they have the courage OF their con.
victions.
They have started in early in their cam
paign in the interests of the great Ohio
leader and have gone delegate hunting
with aggressive frankness. They want to
secure the nomination OF the great pro-
tectionist and they are openly using all
legitimate means to secure this end. They
are making splendid canvass and are
making ii in splendid style. The history
OF politics has furnished nothing more
admirable or more interesting to watch
than this publicly pursued canvass for
the candidate from Ohio.

Maine TO California; from Lakes to Gulf.

For One Day This 225-Foot Steel Shaft
Resembied Pisa's Pride.
The las. vestige of the great midwin-
ter fair at San Francisco was removed
recently when the tall tower on which
the great searchlight was placed was
pulled down after several days OF hard
labor. Dynamite was tried GU the
foundations at first without success.
Enormous cables wound on windlasses
were attached to the framework and
pulled, while twelve blasts were fired
in the four ten-foot cubes OF cement
that formed the founda ton stones.
With all that energy the tower only
leaned q little to one side. and for
thirty-six hours San Francisco had L

blasts was doubled. more cables Were
attached, and at last in one long. grand
pull, aided by twentyfour thunderins.
explosions. the 225 foot shaft of steel
toppled slowly over, bent and twisted
into fantastic shapes. The iron was
then broken up for junk.
The electric tower was a white ele-
plant to the men who invested money
in it. 1t did not come anywhere near
paying for its construction. The COM
pany became involved in financial diff
culties, it is said, and when the mana
gers learned that it would cost more
to take the thing down than it would

HOOD.HuutiuR.

Mr. James Payn lived az q boy among
the Berkshire downs Of England. "A
marvellous expanse Of springy turf"
he calls them, "blown over by the most
delicious airs and, though treeless, not
without a certain wild beauty" Here
one Of the best Of his Juvenile sports
was "hOOp- sport Of which
few readers are likely to have had any
considerable experience.
All that was requisite to enjoy this
pastime was high wind. We took our
hoops, half dozen Of them sometimes.
to the top Of the first hill, and started
them: then. after one minutes ''law"-
more correctly grace-ws followed
them. But We never caught them save
by misadventure.
Their speed was Incredible, and far
surpassed that Of any bicycle. Down
one hill and up another they went ap-
parently at the same rate; and when
any obstacle, such as a road with high
banks, intervened, they surmounted 1t
with deer-like leaps and bounds.
A more graceful sight could hardly be
imagined. have known a hoop to run
fve miles, and to stop only because 1t
arrived at q "bottom''-the limit Of the
downs in that direction. 1t would have
needed q race-horse to overtake them.
We got the hoops from a brewery
owned by an uncle Of mine. and when
ever the smell Of brewing comes to my
nosrils, I am, for half minute, q boy
again, capless, careless, with my foot
on the turf and the mild west wind In
nv hair.
