that this complaint was a general lnfec.

AT the first favors ble occasion, after
even trfling scratch or abrasion OF the

FREE TRADERS, But :

IL is significant that the appeal for Q
duty upon Egyptian cotton comes from
the south where exists the strongest oppo-
sition 10 protection TO American indus
tries and the united support OF the policy
of freStrade. tariff for revenue only, and
tariff reform, anything, thar is, but the
principle ofs protective tarin.
General HANCOCK declared, with q
soldierly directness, that went straight to
an end without considering qualifying
factors, that the "tariff is a local issue" /"
And in one aspect it is a local issue
although on the principle that the good
Of all depends upon the welfare OF one,
experience has demonstrated that the
tariff is still a national issue of the big
gest kind. But the Southerners who are
opposed on principle, and quote their
Interpretation OF the Constitution in sup
port OF their view, hold protection to be
national crime for the benent OF the indi-
viduai locality, while their interest in
behalf of duty on Egyptian cotton
demonstrates that they are perfectly will
ing to sacrifice national interests in be-
half OF their own localities and to dis.
cuss the tariff on the barter ana exchange
plan which has at It's foundation only the
idea that the tariff is local issue.
The basic principle of the policy of pro-
lection, however, in the first instance
seeks to serve the interests OF ndividusls
and of localities by according free entry
to articles that are not produced In this
country and that this country cannot pro-
duce. The Egyptian cotton is Q staple of
the hosiery and knit goods industry that
cannot be PRODUCED in this country and
for which no accepta ble substituts can be

ter does not ill the bill at all with the
manufacturers. As an American product

Means committee but hardly upon the
ground that the representatives from
South Carolina and Georgia demand Il,
while opposing every schedule looking to
the protection of American anufscturss
and American labor.

THE LAMP FELL.
II Started a Fire In Falcon Cycle
Clubs Quarters
The Building and It's Contents Almost
Entirely Destroyed.

A falling kerosene lamp put stop TO the
game of whist at the Falcon Cycle Clubs
headquarters on Ford street at $50 o'clock
last evening, and the lady guests quit the
premises without ceremony. Tho burning
lamp after being knocked on the floor, set
fire TO the loose drapery and i'm a moment the
room was filed with FIRE and smoke The
gentlemen followed the good example set by
the ladies and threw down their hands and
ran. One member, Robert Hathaway, sprinted
for box G5 Mt tho corner of Crsnston and
Messer streets, and sent in an alarm. Mean
while tho flames had been busy and when the
iromen arrived there was little left OF value
inside or outside the small building. The prin-
cipal damage was caused by tho loss Of the
whist players outside wraps. The fire was
fed by overcoats. fur tippets, gloves and other
westher shielders. Perhaps $3.50 will restore
this loss. The building was of littl value IL
was the property of Miss Lucy a. Winsor.

NEW YORK,s LIQUOR LAW.

The first annual report of the opera
tion Of New York's liquor law, com m only
known az the Rsines' Law, shows that
some changes must be made in it, 20 wxs
to be expected, but on the whole 1t seem
to have worked with rather more satis-
faction and greater posi- bilities of public
advantage than any legislation that the
State has heretofore had for the regulation
OF the liquor traffic, assuming that total
prohibition does not enter into the dis
cussion.
|. or course the irreprsssibl "Raines Law
hotel" is the chief difficulty that con-
fronts the successful operation of the
new law but it is not believed that this
presents any grave problem for the max
ing OF definition of q hotel that shall

legislation. In the same way the situa-
tion by which wholesalers, who pay no
State tax, actually dispense liquors In
such fashion % requires Federal retail
tax can be dealt with to the advantage of
the State and Of the public. Another
fact, the evasion of the plain intent Of the
law in the sections governing bs, would
seem to offer no great difficulties for the
reduction OF the mock clubs that have,
ike hotels, sprung up under the law.
And in many minor ways 1t appears that
the State, with its new law, 10 unable to
control the liquor traffic and collect its
revenues ss successfully as tho national
government does In New York, in dealing
with which latter the liquor concerns
take no chances OF going to law over
disputed points, 90 that the Federal tax 10

sions the State authority is hsgrantly

We are nearing great deal these
days about the surprising courtesy Of the
President towards the Man from Canton
who is to succeed him, but it is recalled
that when BENJAMIN HARRISON came to
Washington the disgruntled CLEVELAND
sneaked out the bnck door of the White
House like boy in the sulks, extending
no welcoming hand to his successor nor
observing even the formalities that the
situation would seem to call for. II is a

Franklin Society.

At the regular meeting OF the Franklin So.
ciety last evening, Mr.. George W. Whitaker
gave lecture entitled, IAN Hour With an
Artist"
In Mr.. Whitaker 's.remarks, occupying about
30 minutes, he elaborated the idea that the
true artist uses nature to express himself.
IAN idea should be strongly felt by an artist
His synthetic power should be 30 developed
that when he wishes 10 re-embody thought
he can do IL in the shortest time, and be en-
abled to capture feeting visions, to concen-
trate and reduce the whole to unity. Unity
OF expression 10 the one thing above all others
that should possess the artists mind. In his
gradations he must be delicate, for should
they be strong. his work would border on
harshness. thus offending the sensibilities and
depriving his idea Of its life.
Many Of the fashionable technical pictures
Of the day may :attraot and smuse for the
moment, but they are devoid OF one deep get
at'able idea and are altogether unworthy of
true art, falling, as they do, into petty paltry
realism. The skill of these realists may as
tonish and their works may dazzle by their
audacity and brilliancy, but the heart fnds
no food in these husks. and when we look for
fruit we look i'm vain.
"A true painter stands amidst outer ap.
pearances, his inward mind Is the great real.
ity. He is the successful picture maker who
works from an ideal and ever brings forth in
an intelligible form some of the beauties
which are aglow in his inmost soul. "
On canvas about l6x30 Mr.. Whitaker, in a
little less than Is minutes blocked in a
landscape to give the audience an idea OF this
method, explaining that here was the idea,
to grow into finished picture in his studio.
