that matter should be enquired into.
The utmost light is demanded from
every quarter on this matter. When
the sitting is finished it will be seen
that there was a real purpose in that
act to stimulate our own carrying
trade. The discussion on this point

Even in n Little Matter Like This
There Is DimcuItY.

A short time ago an order went into
operation upon the Boston street rail-
ways requiring conductors to address
feminine passengers as Madame"
The always cheerful Chatterer of the
Boston Herald tells us that, in pursu-
Rnce of the order, the conductor is try
ing very hard to cure himself of his
habit of calling his feminine passen-
gers "lady" and Mrs Lady," but he
has not as yet hit upon a uniform meth
cd of addressing them, and, in his in
decision, has resort to hi" say"
"missis" and "ma'am;" but he will
doubtless settle upon the right thing
eventually. The other day, on q Hunt
ington avenue car, conductor, who
had evidently given much attention.
TO the subject, won special distinction
for himself by the use of the word
madame" in this regard. But there
is no rose without thorn. Among his
passengers was a, colored girl, who car
ried large bundle, doubtless the
weeks wash of some patron. She
asked him 10 stop at a certain street,
and when the car arrived there he said
to the gentle Afro-American; This is
your street, madame" She at once
gave him an angry look, and said with
marked asperity: ''Who's yer calm
madame? Watcher mean by insultin'
me? I'd have you know Tn a lady, ]
am" With which she hustled indig-
nantly to the street The conductor
looked perplexed and as he rang the
bell with vicious jerk he contentious
ly observe 4: "She amt no lady, any
how, even if she amt madame" II
Is hard to please everybody.

The advocates of the tariff in their
hatred of the new act are gloating
over the manner in which the rush of
imported goods to this country cut
down revenues. These Britishers in
disguise will have short lived tri-
umph. Every week sees the condi-
lions approaching a natural level, and
then the revenues will begin to show
increase over expenditures. This will
be case of those laugh best who
laugh last" The Dingley tariff will
be its own best defence as the real re-
suit of its operations become apparent.
Its advocates can affor to wait the re-
turns.

Once in a while the insurgents play
a practical joke on Weyler just to
show him how little they are in awe
of his troops. Their latest was in cap
turing a picket post within two miles
of Weyler's tent, while guards were
being mounted for a command of
1000 men. Weyler refused to exchange
the captured men, IS in number, for
prisoners that he had confined in
Havana prisons.

is nonsense. AS the Light has in
