A GOOD PockETBooK STORY.
The Strange Way In Which a Stranger In
Hartford Recovered His Money.

The Strange Way In Which a Stranger In
Hartford Recovered His Money.
A gentleman from Philadelphia who
had been in Hartford for several days
on business lost his pocketbook con-
tanning $73 few evenings ago. He
made diiigent inquiries for it at
places where he had been, including
the opera house cafe, where he had
taken some of his meals. Mr.. Barby
the manager, said that the rocketbook
had not been found there, and added
that il any of the walters had found it,
it would have been handed over to him.
He called all the walters up, and all
of them said they had not seen it..
The gentleman went out end walked
down Main street. Behind him he
heard two men talking.
Lets drop in the City hotel, end
have drink said one. The other in
quired where the City hotel was, and
his companion said it was little way
down the street.
"All right" said the other. ''but have
the drink with me. Last night had
nothing, and tonight have $i3." The
fact that the amount named was eN.
actly the amount the Philadelphia man
had lost attracted his notice, and he
turned around TO see who was talking.
lie recognized the speaker as a man
he had known in Philadelphia. Step.
| ping aside, he let The two pass, and
followed them into the City hotel bar
room. Stepping up to the man who
said he had $73, he said:
"You have my pocketboolx, and you
must hand it over. 1t is little red
book and contains s73 and ten dol
lar confederate bill"
TIE man Indignantly denied having
il, and asked his accuser who he was
that he should dare make such charge
"I'll tell you who am" he replied,
"and I'll tell you who you are. You
were employed once N the Philadelphia
post Office, and arrested you for steal.
ing and selling stamps. Now hand
over the pocketbook, or it will go hard
with YOU"
The fellow recognized his accuser
and at once took the book cut of his
pocket and returned it to the owner

AR NJ ENIAN AFFAIRS.

AT the outset of a reference to the
more important matters affecting our
relations with foreign powers it would
afford me satisfaction If could assure
the congress that the disturbed con-
ditiOn in ASiatic Turkey had during
the past year, assumed less hideous
and bloody aspect, and that either as a
consequence of the awakening of the
Turkish government to the demand Of
humane civilization, or as the result OF
decisive action on the part Of the great
nations having the right, by treaty, to
interfere for the protection of those ex-
posed to the rage Of mad bigotry and
cruel fanaticism. the shocking feature
of the situation had been mitigated. In
stead, yever, of welcoming a soft
ened disposition or protective inter-
vention we have been afflicted by con-
tinued and not unfrequent reports of
the wanton destruction of homes and
the blooCy butchery of men, women and
childreL, made martyrs to their pro-
fession of christian faith. While none
of our citizens in Turkey have thus far
been killed or wounded, though often
In the midst of dreadful scenes OF
danger, their safety in the future is by
no means assured. Our government at
home and our minister at CONSTANT
nople have left nothing undone to pro-
tect our missionaries in Ottoman terri
tory, who constitute nearly all the in
right to claim our protection on the
score of American citizenship. Our eff
forts in this direction will not be re-
Taxed; but the deep feeling and SYM
patty that have been aroused among
our people ought not to so far blind
their reason and judgment as to lead
them to demand impossible things. The
outbreaks of blind fury which lead to
murder and piliage in Turkey occur
suddenly and without notice, and an
attempt on our part to force such a
hostile presence there as might be eff
fective for prevention or protection
would not only be resisted by the Otto
man government but would be re-
garded as an interruption of their
plans by the great nations who assert
their exclusive right to intervene in
their own time and method for the
security of life and property in Tur-
kew. I do not believe that the present
somber prospect in Turkey will be
long permitted TO offend the sight OF
Christendom. 1T so mars the humane
and enlightened civilization that be-
longs to the close of the nineteenth
century that it seems hardly possible
that the earnest demand of good peo-
pie throughout the christian world for
it's corrective treatment viii remain I'M

TARIFF AND FINANCES.

/ desire to recur to the statements
elsewhere made concerning the govern
ment's receipts and expenditures for
the purpose of venturing upon some
suggestions touching our present tariff
law and its operation.
This statute took effect on the 2Sth
day Of August. 1894. Whatever may
be It's shortcomings as complete
measure of tariff reform, it must be
conceded that 1T has opened the way
to a freer and greater exchange Of
commodities between us and other
countries. and thus furnished a wider
markets for products and manu-
featuring.
The only entire fiscal year during
which this law has been in force ended
on the 30th day of June. 1896 In that
year our imports increased over those
of the previous year more than SO $780,
600, while the value of the domestic
products we exported. and which found
markets abroad, was nearly $40, 1000, 600
more than during the preceding year.
Those who insist that the cost to our
people of articles coming to them from
abroad for their needful use should
only be increased through tariff charg-
es to an extent necessary to meet the
expenses of the government as well as
those who claim that tariff charges
ay be laid upon such articles beyond
the necessities of government revenue,
anu WITH the purpose VI So
increasing their price In our markets
as to give American manufacturers and
producers better and more profitable
opportunities must agree that our tar
III laws are only primarily justified as
sources of revenue to enable the gov
eminent to meet the necessary eX-
penses of it's maintenance. Considered
as to its efficiency in this aspect. the
present law can by no means fall I'M
der Just condemnation. During the
only complete fiscal year Of its opera
ton il has yielded nearly $4,000, 900
more revenue than was received from
tariff duties in the preceding year.
There was, nevertheless, deficit be-
tween our receipts and expenditures of
a little more than $4,000, 900. This,
however, was not unexpected.
Question of Revenue.

plus fortunately in its treasury to the
payment Of expenses not met by Its
current revenues. Is not at all to be
likened to man living beyond his In
