Besides my man MOhammed there
were several other Arab passengers
aboard, and the appearance of these, as
they leaned over the bnlwarks of the
steamer, was the signal for shout of
derisive laughter, curses and stone
throwing OH the part of the crowd of i'll
fed and i'll conditioned boys who throng
ed the quay. For downright black
guardism nothing can beat the type of
the youth Of Malaga, whose expression,
like their morals, is Of as debased type
as could well be imagined. Howls of
filthy language greeted the appearance
of the Moors, who, had they disem-
barked, would have run great risk of
being torn to pieces, so great is the an
tipathy of the Spauiards to their former
conquelors. The captain Of the steamer
appealed to the police, but the two rep
resentatives of this noble body We're
busily employed in stealing figs from
the cargo and paid little or no attention
to the fact that an inturiated crowd of
the worst characters of Malaga-that is
to say, the worst III the World-were
pelting the steamer with stones and
mud. Affairs, however reached a eli
max when one of the Moors, who spoke
Spanish, asked after the health of Cen
eral Margallo the general who had been
killed before Melilla, and then the cap
tain was obliged to order them below,
though the i'll conditioned crowd hooted
and ieered until at sunset the steamer
left. - Harris From Batum to Bag

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

strong and buoyant tone dominates the
butter market this week This l. in keeping
with the general conditions noticed IN our
report last week, and il causes no particular
surprise, though the advance OF cents IN the
West is IA little more than was expected. a
rise of one cent would be more in the line OF
Eastern markets.
But we must accept the situation and be
thankful that the boomers did not force
prices up or cents. There appears to have
been large shunkage in the make all over
the Western dairy districts, ana some advance
was inevitable, as there was not enough treSh
butter to go around.
BUYERS were somewhat dazed by the
strength of the market yesterday, and were
not prepared for the advance OF two cents
per pound. Close observers could not TAIL to

could not be less than 20 to u cents for hne

prices several lots of Vermont ana New

A TOOTHBRUSH FOR KOKO.


OlrlS Iet DoBss
A score or more of dainty toilet arti-
Giles, gold mounted and jeweled, were
scattered over the glass counter, and
the obliging clerk in the fashionable
shop was vainly endeavoring to satisfy
the whims of a daughter Of wealth,
who had every appearance Of having
been spoiled by overindulgonce. She had
a costly toothbrush in her hand and
was polling the other articles with it
in a dissatisfied way. "This is not
small enough, - she said, land the hair
is not fine enough "
cit is our very best grade of goods, "
suggested the clerk half apologotically.
"Then You ought to get something
better. Yes, really, you ought ex-
claimed the willful customer. 81 can't
take such clumsy toothbrush as that
home to my koko."
"Ahl" murmured the clerk, with a
scarcely perccptible air of impotence.
"Then you want a toothbrush for your
dog"
Eyes, of course I do, and / want
something very soft and very dainty, y"
replied the young woman. And, after a
pause, she added, with an affectionate
purr, "There isn't anything too nice
for my Koko. -
Certainly not, responded the clerk,
with a cordial smile. Here are some
brushes of rare quality. l had over
looked them. Here is one with hair as
soft as silk and handle of solid gold. 5"
The girl fondled the expensive trinket
for a moment, and, without asking the
price, said, "That will do. Have it sent
with the other things, please" When
this spoiled maiden's father gets a bill
from the fashionable jeweler, he will
doubtless be moved to emotion by the
entry, " One toothbrush for dog, 1922. so "
1t is no uncommon thing for shop
keepers in New York to be called upon
to supply toilet articles for dogs, mon
keys, birds and other domestic pets
Some stores maintain special lines of
combs and brushes for pet dogs, and as
special concession to the enthusiasm
of the fair owners of these pets the
prices of dog combs and brushes are
kept aristocratically high. New York

Grabs and shams.

ALI the redeeming features of the
new tariff bill. as far as the schedules
are completed, are found in its points
of departure from the Mckinley Law
aud its points Of agreement with the
Democratic tariff law.
These redeeming features are few
and are Offset By tariff denominations
which cannot fail to press heavily
upon the people. Deep resentment
will be aroused when the full force of
their purpose is realized. Roughly
speaking, the bill may be divided in
to grabs and shams. In order to
create the impression of equality APP
parent compensation is offered to pro-
ducers for the real protection given to
the manufacturers in a lot of sham
protection.
Tariff on meats and the products of
the field and farm are offered, though
every farmer who knows enough to
take his pillow out of the rain knows
that as long as this county raises a
surplus of these products, which must
be sold in foreign markets, protective
tariffs on them are frauds and farces.
Ii the protection of foodstuffs were
not sham it would be an outrage.
What kind of government is it which
in the face of widespread distress,
when the thousands are on the verge
of starvation, proposes to enhance the
price of foodstufs by monopolistic
laws?
But the Republican party has not
refrained from pinchiug the suffering
for the benefit of its favorites. 1t pro-
poses to tax the blankets and the
clothing needed by the shivering; it
proposes to tax the salt that makes
the food palatable; it proposes to
make the material for homes and tools
dearer; it proposes even to tax the
seeds required for the raising of crops.
If revenue only were wanted, small
taxes on luxuries would suffice, but
they would not be so profitable to par
ty favorites as taxes on the necessaries
of the people. They would not repay
heavy campaign contributions.

THE man of leisure with a turn for
the curious in literature, should not
neglect the financial bulletins that R.
G. Dun & Co. put forth from time to
time. That firm may fairly be emit
tied to be called the Mark Tapley of
the commercial world. The genial OPP
tomists who constitute it say, in sub
stance in the statement they put forth
at the close of January, that that
month has been one of disappointment,
but of real gain; that every one prom
ised himself land of milk and honey
after New Years, and the slow progress
looks like standing still. That ''peo-
pie have been taking large ventures
throughout the country in advance of
or apart from their regular business;
because of the expected rise of prices
at or before the beginning of the New
Year." but admits the results have not
nearly equaled their anticipations.
Prices, their bulletin says. as yet fail
to bring them profit. Wheat has de-
clined severely; cotton has scarcely
risen enough to pay brokerage, wool
holds steady in spite of enormous buy
ing; wooden goods hardly change in
price; iron and its products decline,
leather despite the leather trust) is
sluggish, hides are lower; some shoe
manufacturers accept a shade lower
prices, the average of railroad stock is
slightly lower than it was the S1st of
last December" Yet because a few
factories have resumed operations
they conclude that the wheels of bust
ness are on the right track and that
land of milk and honey will be here
by and by. This firm, as all other ad-
vocates of the Gold Standard, refrain
from telling US upon what its predic-
lions of prosperity aare based. If the
tendency of prices is still lower and
lower how car there be a return OF
prosperity? II with famine in India
and short wheat crop over the whole
world, wheat cannot hold its own what
other commodity can? How can prices
get better while people are unable to
consume at present prices? Hereto
fore the protectionist has confidently
announced that when the balance of
trade returned to our side of the Allan
tic the country would blossom as the
rose. In all our history we have per-
haps never had a larger balance of
trade in our favor than in the last year,
and there has seldom been a time
when business has gone so i'll. The
gold men have promised to bring pros
perity under impossible conditions and
are now trembling for fear the fate of
Annanias shall overtake them.
