The Protectionist Performance.

The following is part Of ex-Ccn-
gresham John De Witt Warmers criti-
cism of the Dingley bill.
"As it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words Of the same actors III
the Fifty-frst congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
"a bill to reduce revenues. The Dingley
bill is specially commended as revenue
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar
"a single item of the breakfast table
one-third of the total amount of the
aarif tax proposed The items which
are supposed to help the farmer are good
examples of so setting your trap as to
'cotch 'em a-cumin and a-gwine. For
instance, we have reciprocity IN order
90 give the farmers market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce
for home consumption unless they are
highly protected, as is done by another
section of the bill. %

exchange is born of the same narrow,

MEN OF THE DAY.

Prince George of Greece is regarded
as an expert in torpedo work. He is
a very large man, fully six feet tall and
strongly built.
1t is reported that, beginning next
October, Explorer Nansen will deliver
in this country series of fifty illus
trated lectures.
Lee Merriwether, one of the candi-
dates for the mayoralty in ST. Louis,
came into notice a few years ago by a
lively little book telling how he saw
Europe on so cents day.
1t is said that Ras AIula, the great
Abyssinian chief whose death may en-
courage Italy to another Abyssinian
campaign, began life as a groom. He
ended it by freeing his country.
1t is rumored in Paris that Prince
Henri d'Orleans, who is now on his
way to Abyssinia, has other than sci
entific objects in view, and that his
journey is made in the interests of a
great commercial and mining syndi-
cate.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, is
said to be one of the best read men in
the senate; besides, he has prodigious
memory, and can quote in an instant's
notice the particular verse or passage
OF prose which he regards fitting for
any particular occasion.

THE WORk-A-DAY WORLD.

There are in this country nearly co.
100000 people who live on wages, and of
these nearly 100000 are women.
The proposal to abolish barmaids

South Australian legislative council by
nine votes.
President Mahon, of the National

doings and delightfully."- provincial in
customs" "It is difficult to sleep on

In China and India Miss Alderman
traversed the countries in native cos
tune. Her descriptions of the preva-
lence of the opium habit in those coun-
tries are narrowing, to put it mildly.
But I find that there are whole dis
tricts devoted to these dens in New
York, San Francisco and Denver" she
said, ''and I have an idea that plenty
of them may be found in Chicago. In
foreign countries-1ndia and China
the number of people enslaved by
opium is almost as great as that of the
victims of strong drink. The effect is
just as inevitable and ruinous."
Among the many daring incidents in
which Miss Ackerman has figured js
her descent to the bottom of the sea
near the coast of India. Arrayed in the
t1appings of woman diver, probably
the only suit of the kind in existence
and obtained for the occasion from an
expert, Miss Alderman viewed the
beauties of the deep and helped I o bring
up a number of pearls. On her way to
India on the high seas, while on board
q steamer, she climbed q mast and,
clinging to the swaying top, waved a
greeting to passing ship. On the same
journey abroad Miss Ackerman was e
passenger on Chinese junk, and dur
ing high storm at sea was swept over
board. Her presence of mind and some
sailors from O Turkish man-of-war
saved her. Australia was also the
scene of some of Miss Ackerman's most
active labors. She has twice encir-
cled the globe. When in Africa she
was prostrated with sickness. Lady
Henry Somerset heard of her condition,
sent for her and brought her back to
health in her castle, near London.
Miss Alderman is a good platform
speaker and her manner is sincere.
She is determined to carry on an active
campaign on Chicago's west side, with
the Fourth Baptist church as her sup
port.

Hymns and Boiled Eggs.

Bishop Paret, of this city, some time
ngo was the guest of an Episcopal fam
lily in West Virginia. Learning from the
bishop that he liked hard-boiled eggs
for breakfast, his hostess went to the
kitchen to boil them herself. While
so engaged she began to sing the first
stanza of the hymn "Rock of Ages"
Then she sang the second stanza, the
bishop, who was in the dining-room,
joining in. When it was finished, there
was silence, and the bishop remarked:
"Why not sing the third verse?"
'The third verse?" replied the lady,
as she came into the dining-room, carry
Ing the steaming eggs. "Oh, that's not
necessary"
81 don't understand" replied Bishop
Paret.
"Oh, you see," she said, "when am
cooking eggs, always sing one verse
for soft-boiled and two for hard-boiled."

After the fatigue of reviewing the
vast procession that followed him
"home," and of leading the promenade
at the Inauguration ball, the president
is left alone in his glory, the first mani
festation of which is stack of boxes
reaching halfway to the ceiling, filed
with applications for Office. Now he
is president indeed. Those preliminary
boxes, nearly every caller, letters by the
thousand, and large willow trunks full
of papers delivered with regularity from
the departments, remind him that the
United States expect every president
to do his duty By the party which
elected him. With a large experience
of this sort of thing, extending over Il
longer series of years than ever before
fell to the lot of an American executive,
Mr.. Cleveland began his second term
with months of labor, broken each day
in the small hours of the morning. BY
this effort the path of executive duty
was merely opened, and the harrass-
ment of ofliceseekers slightly abated;
but the gain to the president was, as a
rule, a matter of minutes at meal time,
and half hour with his family after
dinner, with a return to his desk be-
tween nine and ten in the forenoon,
while the midnight oil continued.-Cen-
