1t is something out of the ordinary
to hear of green or unsophisticated
hack-driver. AS class in metropol.
itan city they are usually onto all the
latest tricks-they are looking for the
best of everything, and always expect
ing to get the worst of it. A St. Paul
cabby, however, did get the "worst Of

made bargain to have him drive her
to this city for which he was to receive
seven dollars. Upon arriving here she
ordered him to stop minute in front
of store where she wished to make a
purchase. But "she never came back"
She entered the store, went out the
back door and vamoosed Cabby gave
description of her to the police, who
recognized her as an cold rounder,"
and told the driver that it would be
useless to attempt to collect his fare,
as she never had the money even if

Mayor Harrison of Chicago, and his
brother were arrested last Thursday at
Negaunee, Mich, charged with va
grancy. Negaunee has been troubled
with an overplus of tramps recently
and the chief of police, who is de-
scribed as sturdy Finlander, resolved
to make a reputation by arresting all
'tramps' on sight. Mayor Harrison
and his brother had been spending a
few days fishing at Negaunee, and nat
urally wore the plainest and poorest
clothes they had. The chief would
not release Mayor Harrison until he
disclosed his official badge which he
fortunately had attached to his sus-
penders. This is but another instance
of the fine discrimination used by in.
telligent(?) officials whose principal
ability is the power to control few
votes.

The WOman's Rescue League is ag-
gressively agitating scheme to make
marriage more popular-amOng men,
of course. The idea is a very good
one, and Mrs. Charlotte Smith, pres
ident of the league, claims that the
great competition of women in the
field of labor is due to the fact that
sixty per cent. of the men refuse to
marry. There is great deal of truth
in this latter statement; but before
further discussion of the subject, Mrs.
Smith will have to devise means by
which men working for a moderate
salary can furnish a piano, bicycle,
and maid of all work for prospective
brides. These are matters that face
the intending benedict in this age. Our
young women may be willing to stand
in department store doing out knick-
knacks for the munifcent salary of
$3.50 per week but when it comes to
marrying they will not usually cut
loose from this princely stipend unless
Lothario can throw in bicycle and a
piano as an assurance of true love.

If Butcher Weyler is guilty of one
tenth of the atrocities charged to his
account since his advent in Cuba, it is
a standing disgrace to civilization to
permit him to continue his malignant
career. 1t is the spectacle of such red
handed brutes holding important posi-
tions that causes anarchistic tendencies
among certain classes. Hardly a day
passes but some fiendish deed emanat-
ing from this modern Bluebeard is re-
corded. When it is known that the
utmost secrecy is part of his fendish
schemes, there can be little doubt but
that he is guilty of even more hellish
acts than are ever recorded against him
in the public press.

Lease System in Georgia.

cit is just what knew it would be"
said Governor Atkinson with regard to
the report of Special Agent Byrd on
the misdemeanor convict camps of the
state. The report is recital of hard
ships and horrors we'll calculated to
make every selfrespecting Georgian
blush for his statess penal system.
The report, however, contained moth
ing. 1t was but the repetition of
story that has been all too often heard
the state. The governor knew what
the report would be before it was
made, and every Georgian has come to
know what the report will be when
ever committee or agent is appointed
to look into the convict system.
AS Christian Commonwealth Geor-
gia owes it to herself to wipe out this
convict lease blot upon her civilization
at the very earliest possible moment.
A plan embodying short term leases
was the other day put out at Atlanta
It is to be hoped the legislature will
not consider it for even a minute. The
convict problem involves something
more than the possible saving of a
dollar. The convicts, Notwithstanding
their transgressiOns of the law, are
human beings, and our religion and
civilization, as well as our hearts and
consciences, dictate the humane treat
ment of them. Cruelty to helpless
prisoners is essentially barbaric, and a
penal system which permits of such
cruelty as has been practiced upon the
Georgia convicts is disgrace to the
State.-Savannah (Ga.) News.

More Fuss Than Fact.

There appears to have been little or
no reason for the great fuss made by a
Bangor paper and some others over the
operations of the Ohio party that camped
near Jackman lately. These Ohio men
have been called game hogs and butch
ers and all that sort of thing. and
startling pictures have been drawn of the
devastation alleged to have been caused
by them. not only among the deer and
moose, but in the timberland. 1t has
been represented that the ground around
their camps was literally Strewn with the
carcaSSes of game slaughtered wantonly.
and that the mountain sides were flaming
with fires kindled by them.
Complaints having been received by the
commissioners of poachins in the region
about Jackman. a warden was sent up
there to investigate. and did so, but in
stead of making known the results of his
trip to the commissioners. the warden
told his story to a newspaper reporter,
or correspondent, and upon the informa-
ton thus furnished. this reporter con-
structed most wonderful yarn, in which
the facts were distorted and the truth
buried in mass of melodramatic rub
bish.
This is what the officials say. The
warden was partly at fault the reporter
more so. and the result of their COM
bined efforts was most unfortunate
splurge-grossly unfair to the Ohio hunt
ers and very annoying to the commission
ers in charge of the great fish and game
interests of the State.As a matter of fact.
they say, the party of Ohio men did not
even kill their legal allowance of game

The Discrimination Duty.

Several days ago there was hearing
on the question Of the imposition of the
ten per cent. discriminating duty under
section % of the recent tariff law.
The decision of the board had not been
made public at time of writing but q
report on what usually is reliable
authority states that the board will de-
eide that the duty should be imposed
According to the terms of the amend
ment to this section and which has
given rise to so much discussion, the
ten per cent. duty should apply also
to goods (which, being the production
or manufacture of any foreign coun-
try not contiguous to the United
States, shall come into the United
States from such contiguous country"
Attorney General McKenna was
called upon for an opinion and after
considerable time declared it. He
took the view that coming into the
United States meant the same as i'm
ported. Two questions were asked
the attorney general, the first of which
was, in effect, whether the discriminat-
ing duty of ten per cent. provided for
in section % should be assessed against
an invoice of tea from China, which
had arrived at Vancouver in British
vessels and was thence shipped
through Canada to Chicago. The
second question was whether the dis
eliminating duty should be assessed
against a cargo of manganese ore from
Chile, which recently arrived in 4
British ship at Philadelphia. Both
these questions the attorney general
answered in the negative.
But the attorney general had nc
power Of decision in the matter
neither under the existing law does
the secretary of the treasury. The
ultimate resort is the courts and next
to that is the decision of the board of
appraisers provided for by the law of
1890. Before this board the matter
was brought by those who wished foi
a decision in the matter instead of a
mere legal opinion.
