Just putting Him on.v

The father of a charming girl of this
city has many admirable qualities, and a
few faults, among the latter being a great
interest in and respect for the game of
poker, says the Washington Star. The
young man who has laid his heart and
a first mortgage on the fortune he hopes
70 get some day at her feet was consult
ing her as to the advisability of breaking
the news to her parents.
II have already preached the subject to
father" she said, 80 as to make 1t easier
for you"
'That was very considerable"
You played poker with him the other
EVENING""
YES, but you mustn't think that I am
addicted to the habit. He asked me to
play, and I complied merely to accommo-
date him"

Yes, but Idrew a pair of queens. So it
came out all right. thought it would be
just as well to let him know about 1t after
the game was over. Hasn't he forgotten
it yet?"
'He has talked about it a great deal.'
Perhaps It wasn't just right, and I
ought to apologize"
mo. He says that If you did it on
purpose you have more nerve than he
thought you had. But If you did it be-
cause you didn't know any better you'll
never do for his son-in-law."

Robhing the PeopIe.

The manufacturers who succeeded in
getting what they wanted in the Dinsley
tariff law are now arranging among them
selves to rob the people. Last Wednesday
about so manufacturers Of knit goods
met in New York and decided to advance
the prices Of their products anywhere from
Is 10 40 per cent. In connection with this
decision. they adopted a resolution to close
their mills and leave their $1,000 or more
employees without the means of earning
their bread if the people did not buy their
products at the increased prices as fast as
they manufactured them.
These robbor manufacturers think the
time is favorable for a raid upon the peo-
pie. They say as much in recently is
sued circular. They declare that the peo-
pie are practically naked, as far as knit
goods are concerned, and that the pockets
of the farmers. on account of the better
prices for wheat and corn, are full of
money. They propose to have a pretty
big share Of this money. The Dingley tar
if bill enables them to demand prices for
their products very much greater than
they received under the Wilson tariff, be-
cause 1t shuts out from our market the
knit goods of foreign manufacturers.
Special notice should be taken of the
fact that there is no intimation that wages
of employees in the knit goods factories
are to be raised In fact, there is no
intention Of raising them. But the en-
ployes will be left without work at the
beginning Of winter unless the people pay
the tribute promptly which these robbers
demand.
When the tariff bill was pending in con-
gress the republican politicians and lead
ers said that it was in the interest of
American wage earners. Does this action
of the Association Of Knit Goods Manu-
facturers look as if the association re-
garded the Dingley tariff as having been
enacted to help American wage earners?
Is it not fact that the real purpose of
the new tariff is to enable the manufac-
turers TO get their hands deeper into the
pockets of the people? 1t certainly looks

The armor plate factory board will visit

The board has ascertained that the exist

Of armor plate. Secret ary Herbert had an
idea that plant could be purchased for

opinion that an outlay of at least 100000
will be required. All that is being done
now, of course. is preparatory to discus
sion of the matter in congress during the
coming winter. The recommendations Of
the board will not be conclusive, but they
will have great weight with congress.

a Partnership Advancement.

A Minneapolis man once invited friend
to dine with him, and neglected to tele-
phone his wife to that effect, says the
Sen Francisco .Argonaut. In order to make
matters worse, both host and visitor stop,
ped in at the club on the way home, and
consequently were late for dinner-very
late. The dilatory husband undertook to
explain his hardness while dinner was be-
ing served, and put up a rather over
plausible defense in the line of business
complications coming up at the very last
moment before he should have left the
office. The hostess heard him with omin-
Gus politeness, and then calmly said: per
haps; but you really can't look me in the
eye and tell that story" Mono" STAN
mered the culprit; and then, as a bril-
liant idea struck him. "but I'll tell YOU

Negro Outlaws in the North.

The Well-behaVed, industrious and respec-
table colored element in the south, as
wei as the white people, will be pleased
to observe from the reports in the press
dispatches, and from the northern papers,
that there has been large exodus of ne
gro rapists, robbers and vagabonds from
the south to the northern and western
states; not because these disreputable
characters are annoying the north and
west, but because they have left and are
leaving the south. Almost every day the
newspapers of the north and west contain
accounts of brutal assaults, robberies and
attacks upon white women by black men.
During the current month there have been
several instances of the kind near New
York city, and on several occasions lately
gangs of negroes have attacked and robbed
suburban and railway trains in New Jer-
Soy.
Possibly the perpetrators of these out
RACES are negroes who have been read
ing in the northern papers denunciations
OF the manner in which the south treats
rapists and the like, and have emigrated
to the section in which they have been led
to believe there is a broad recognition of
personal liberty, no matter where it may
lead. 1t develops, however, that the spir-
it of Judge Lynch exists at the north as
well as at the SOUTH as is evidenced in
the number of times it is stated in the dis
patches that a mob is on the track of
some mccreant armed with guns and bear
ing ropes.
The self-respecting, Industrious, law
abiding neg is perfectly safe in the
south; safer, indeed, than Is the white
man in the great cities of the north with
their bur glars, thugs and assassins; safer,
and with more privileges than he would
enjoy in any other part of the country, if
not any other Tart of the world. But the
disreputahle tramp negro, menace to the
community. "a curse to civilization" to
quote the expression of a northern daily
newspaper uttered recently, Is valued at
his true woI tn in the north and the south
alike ami he is worth nothing

The governor makes out a strong case of
"particeps criminis' against the admins
tration at Washington in the matter of
the attempted assassination of the color
ed postmaster at Hogansvie. Ninety
nine per cent. of the tax payers objected
TO the appointment of the colored man to
the office, and the officials at Washington
knew Of that objection; nevertheless he
was forced upon the community, over pro-
tests and in defiance of practically unan-
imous public opinion. The shooting of the
postmaster was not. Of course, a part Of
any political conspiracy condemning black
officeholders to death, but it is probably
true that the well-known sentiment of
the community against the appointment
was taken into account by those who did
the shooting. If Mr.. Mckinley wishes
to reward the colored men who have done
him political service by giving them
postofiices and other prominent govern
ment position, let him give them offices in
Ohio Indiana, illinois and elsewhere
whore the white people do not object to
them.

the cotton is now doing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-compara-

n, labor In the form of deductions from
,he last census statistics, relating to
workers at galnful operations, point to
ths fact that persons at work, especially
females. have Increased very much fast-
er than the population at large.
Az n result. the statement shows that
The nroportfon Of workers relative 70 the
ttai population and to the whole num-
bar OF people OF the respective ages, was
considerable greater In 1890 than at the
prscediug census periods and that this
increased proportion is apparent for each
on the great classes of occupations, ex-
cent agriculture, fisheries and mining
All this. the statement sets out, shows
very clearly the constantly increasing
dlsIncllnatlon Of our population TO follow
agricultural pursuits, n tendency mater
i5lly hastened doubtless by the wide APP
plcatlon Of machinery to the processes
Of agriculture.
Despite this disinclination and tho re.

Strates that the increased proportion OF
workers il found generally In the higher
walks OF business life and in those occu-
pahons which call for skilled labor prin-
Clpally rather than in the lowest or more

conclusion Is accordingly stated to be In
