The energy of English patriotism shows
itself in all classes of English people, from
the peer to the criminal. An incident of
the Crimenn war mentioned by MIR. Haw-
thorne in letter to his family illustrates
this fact. We quote from "Somo Memories
of Hawthorne" published in The Allan

PHILADELPHIA MANUFAC-
TURERS WANT IT.
Ask for Tariff Revision and Favor
Consistent Schedule-Special
Report to Congress.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2o.-
The Manufacturers convention at
its recent session appointed special
committees to consider the best
means of restoring American ship
ping and to prepare resolution for
presentation to the president and
Congress in regard to having Am
erican consuls forward reports from
foreign countries of interest to Am
erican manufacturers.
Immediately after the convention
had assembled for the afternoon
session the subject of tariff came
before the members in the shape of
a report of a special committee APP
pointed yesterday. A discussion
that lasted for some time followed
the presentation of the report and
it was finally adopted by the con-
vention after some slight changes
had been made.
The report as presented was as
follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers that the tariff law should
be revised at the earliest possible
moment, in order that uncertainty
may be removed, confidence re-
stored and business permitted to re-
vive.
Resolved, That rates of duty
should be made as low as possible,
consistent with ADEQUATE protection
of Our manufacturing and agricul-
tural industries and the labor they
employ. The tariff should contain
only specific duties or mixed ad va
loren and specific duties.
Resolved, That Congress should
be asked to re-establish and extend
the system of reciprocity, which
NAV be EMPLOYED to secure for the
United States tariff favors in Latin
American and other markets in
which we are the largest buyers,
while Europe is the preferred seller
solely because of the lower wage
rates and the lower general cost Of
production in European countries.

The Christmas Fool.

The April fool has passed away,
And the Ounce block stands no more in school
But every year You may see astray
In shops and bazaars the Christmas fool.
His brow is vexed.
He looks perplexed.

wish knew what father wants,

The Christmas fool forgets the needs
That clamOred all year in the mouths of kin
Forgets the crime Of his former deeds
And sins his regular annual sin.
Displays and the daze
OF the Christmas craze
Constrain him like long felt ties,
And the very thing his wife doesn't want,
The thing his father doesn't want,
The thing his mother doesn't want,
Johnny,
Susy,
Grandfather,
Grandmother,
Norah, the maid, and william, the man,
Are the very things he buys!
On Christmas morning he sees too late
Anticipation becomes chagrin,
But they take their gifts and submit to fate
And lie to him sweetly-his house and kin.
Chastined by years
Or ch liked by tears,
They tell him they ought:
1t is just the thing his wife wants,
just the thing that father wants,
Just the thing that mother wants.
And Johnny,

The mistit things he bought!

WANTS CHANGE OF VENUE.
DIR. j. ID. Goddard Files nm Application
to ID Tried Outside of jack
ann Cnunfv.

to ID Tried Outside of Jack
son County.
The attorneys for DR.. J. D. Goddard. the
murderer of Fred ]. Jackson. have finally
decided that there is too much prejudice
against their client to insure him a fair
trial and yesterday they filed in the GRIM
inal court a motion for a change of venue.
The usual ground of prejudice on the part
of the people Of Jackson county is set out
in the application, which will be passed
upon by Special Judge Longan next Mon
day, when the case is set for trial. n
the law it is necessary for the court to
hear evidence as to the existence and eX-
tent of the prejudice alleged: The proving
of prejudice is - very difficult thing to do.
1t becomes more difficult in the present
case, as the jury was evenly divided at
the first trial.
DR.. Goddard and his attorneys have all
along been clamorous for a speedy trial.
but the doctor has yielded to the judgment
of his counsel. The latter. however. are
getting 'leary" of the county jury fixing
gang, which works up Spontaneous" ova-
tons for Prosecutor Lowe when he con-
cludes a more than usually fetching" ap-
peal-in some case where the m~anipulatorS
have decreed that the defendant must be
convicted.
There is too much jury fixing going on"
said one of Goddard's attorneys yesterday.
I'VE think We will have a fairer trial in
some other county. where a free and I'M
view of the law and the evidence may be
secured. We are not afraid of the law and
the evidence. All We want is a fair trial."
There are a great many people who
trating the truth of the old adage: Too
many cooks spoil the broth" He has only
five attorneys, including Henry Smith, Mrs.
Jackson's private counsel. The general
opinion Is that Goddard is safer in the
hands Of a city than in those of a country
jury.

To buy a little home and settle down as

fond dream of many a young man, but
there are many pitfalls in the way OF the
young man who seeks to make his dream
a reality. Some of these pitfalls were ex-

to restrain him from selling q piece of
property bought by the. plaintiff.

prominent real estate agent looked up the
fncumbrance upon it. 1t was the under
standing that when half the purchase price
was paid a warranty deed would be de-
| Iyered. When this stage of the proceed
ing had been reached it was found that a
deed of trust was on file against the
property. There was another claim in the
shape Of a judgment against Frowein, who
is now about to sell the, property under
foreclosure of the deed of trust. A tenn
porary Injunction was granted, restraining
