DinEleyism Does Nothing for the
WorkinKmAn.

WorkinEmAn-
The Phiiadelphi. Inquirer Is a pro-
techonst paper hat does not ikc the
look OF thugs just now. We rather
fancy that the Dinsiey bill ISN'T SHOW
ms up to suit If. The current brand Of
protection is away below the top
noich- In Its opinion, for it remarks:
we are on a protective basis. but
protection to manufacture cannot be
d~etended-s indeed a farce-unles
there is the same protection, to
labores. The great obiecc Of protec.
ton, more important than revenue, Is
to build up mills and create new en-
terprses for the purpose Of giving
employment to n workingmen and
paying them respectable wages
1t Is unnecessary to say that the
Dineley bill is short OF protection for
laborers. The way the knife has been
jabbed into wages since that bill be-
came a law Is simply awful. Thore
was a time, however. when a protec-
ZIONIST paper wouldn't think OF saying
such things As the Inquirer says here.
Then, protection was all-pervad ing;
the manufacturer couldn't keep it to
himself; he had TO share it with his
employees. But after the protection
lists were found out, a change came
over the spirit OF the organic dream.
Now, labor must be protected, they
cay; meaning. OF course. that Dlnglcy
forgot to protect labor. No matter
where you turn these days you find
the Dingley bill colliding with some
thing tina: hurts it. Here is the PhilL-
delphia Inquirer, a leading protec-
ZIONIST paper, practically c~haracteriz-
ing that bill as a farce.
This latest experiment with the
principle OF Republican protection
bids fair to leave that principle with
out a leg under it. 1t Was set going
with agreat flourish OF trumpets, an
extraordinary session OF Congress be-
ing called in order that there might
be no delay in putting it in operation
AS the effect of it, or III spite Of it.
the awful deficit has been gaining
ground and is still growing, end
wages have been cut to the bone in
various industries. No wonder pro-
te%ctionist organs are specializing in
theories and offering suggestions rs
to what should be done to lift the
farce OF Republican protection TO
the grade, at least, OF a comedy that
makes some pretensions to serious
S and sense ?-Binghamton N,

In the sweet bye and bye when this

The Cattle Quarantine.

The above are doubtless the views
OF a large majority OF the cattIemen

TO raising the quarantine 80 as to ad-
INIT cattle from an infected district.
There are others, however, who
want to restock their ranges. that

Lines on the Death OF william T.
Clayton.

The INDEPENDENT has received the
following lines on the death OF VIM.
I. Clayton with the request that they
be published:
(By . F.ierd.)
Oh, cruel Death! thou monster foe
That plunged the human race;
Our loved ones at thy call must go,
Though none can fill their place.
And like a savage beast OF prey,
That comes at midnight hour,
To seize the traveller on his way,
None can resist his power.
He heedeth not a fathers grief,
Nor yet a mothers love,
And only time can bring relief,
Through long, long weary years.
4 brother and a sister, too,
May weep and bow the head.
They feel a brother kind and true
Is numbered with the dead.
And thou, dear Willie, darling boy,
\ parents hope and pride;
a sisters love, a brothers Joy,
We miss thee from our side.
Twas with eternal hope and fear
We watched around thy bed;
And turned away to hide the tear
That silently was shed.
And as the dreaded hour drew nigh,
knew we soon should part,
/ could hot tell thee; no my boy,
Though heavy on my heart.
Just when life should run most bright
This world should yield most Joy,
Thy manly step WAS frm and light
And lustrous was thine eye.
But like the lovely flowers IL May.
That w7tber soon and die;
In LIES fair bloom you passed away;
CID kneSs the reason Shy.
But He knows tbs heart Of al,
He kDoSs what each can bear.
And some He doth il mercy call.
From this sad world Of care.
No clousd Of sorrow nov. nor shame
Shall gather Ger thy head.
None shall lightly call thy name;
There with the silent dead.
Oh, God oi mercy. God OF love
TboughThou hast taken 10y brother
Oh send me grace doxn from above
To ssy Thy will he done.
Oh why should / then mour and
grieve,
And look on death as a foe?
He will only bring me kind relief
When | am called to go.
III hope, and trust and pray
My brother and / shall meet
On n eternal day,
Arond thy mercy seat.
In Jesus peaceful fold
No tears shall din the eyes;
Where love can ne'er grow cold.
Safe beyond the skies.

Some months since we called your attention to the fact
that Friction ought to be removed and discussed many
things concerning it. Then we gave you the names OF the
machines that we handle and cuts OF the Ball Bearing and
Roller Bearing on these machines where Friction
would certainly occur, were not these simple appliances
used. We have broken the Trusts combine and are now
ready to make you prices never before made to ranchers
in this country. There is not another point i'll the United
States where as low prices prevail. The price of either
the Deering or Buckeye mowers, both with Ball and 2ol-
Ter bearing and every modern Improvement, fully guaran-
teed,
Will be to Everybody $50 each at EIkO.

All About Shippers.

Patent leather slippers are again in
style. Fashionable bootmakers say that
they are to be worn with everything this
summer, from white duck suits to ball
gowns. They are modish and make the
feet look we'll. Every sweet has its bit
ter, however, even when it comes to foot
gear. Patent leather is the coolest of all
feathers in winter and the hottest in sum-
mer. Chiropodists say that it has thrown
us much business into their hands as
dotted wells have into those of the ocu
list. Be this as it may. patent leather
is fashiona bic, and women wear it. Phil
osophers tell us that for everything we
lose we gain something else. and if
woman won't wear patent leather boots,
ties or slippers because they draw her
feet she can't expect to have her feet
look about two sizes smaller than they
really are.
The new slippers look something like
those on the feet of the Father of His
Country. They have a moderately round
toe and tongue as long and broad as
yossiping woman's, which comes we'll up
over the instep and is cut off square at
the top. Large steel or jet buckles finish
the slippers. which have very high heels.
Another design has more modified
tongue aud bright red heels. Red bows.
with butterfly design wrought in red
beads, hold the fronts, which are slashed
over the tongue, together.

FIREMEN FATALLY HURT
Two Fires In Brooklyn Test the
Courage Of the Borough's
Department.

New York. May 21.-There were two
serious CONGREGATIONS In Brooklyn early
today and at each of them a fireman sus-
tanned injuries that are likely to prove
fatal and several others were badly hurt
One of the fires was in a big frame
tenement row in Calyer street, which
threatened the lives of many people
asleep. In the work of rescue ladder
upon which three 6remen were at work
broke. and Henry Richenberge, who fell
three stories, was probably fatally hurt.
Henry Callisen was internally injured
and William Thomas suffered fracture
of leg. The monetary loss at this fire
is estimated at 500, 600.
In a FIRE which broke out a little later
in a concert hall and saloon In Green
Point avenue John Garter, a fireman,
came in contact with live wire, which
shocked him so badly that surgeons say
he can scarcely recover. Fireman Peter
Hunts rubber boots were melted where
he stood in them and one of his legs was
badly injured.

SHE KISSED CERVERA.
Washington Woman's Experience
with the Spaniard When He
was an Attache.

Washington, D. c., May 21.-It is not
generally known that Admiral Cervera,
the commander of the mysterious Spanish
feet which is now causing the navy de-
partment so much concern, was formerly
a naval attache in Washington.
He represented the government of
Spain in this city about fifteen years ago.
He resided in boarding house on Thir-
teenth street, and the landlady of this es-
tablshment now has good picture taken
of the lieutenant when stationed here.
Lieut.. Cervera was universally liked
and was close student of naval matters.
He was recognized then as an unusually
capable fellow.
Tho woman with whom he boarded tells
an amusing incident of Cervera. The lat
ter had white monkey which he kept as
a pet. A young woman who boarded at
the house took a great liking to the animal
and asked the lieutena mt if he would part
with it. Cervera replied in a laughing
manner:
Il will give you the monkey if you will
kiss me tomorrow in the breakfast room
before all the boarders.''
He thought nothing further of the mat
ter. but the young woman was not easily
put off. When Lieut.. Cervera appeared
at breakfast the following morning he
was astounded by having a pair of arms
thrown around his neck and receiving a
hearty kiss on his cheek The young
woman had taken him at his word and
carried out her part of the compact, and
Lieut.. Cervera promptly turned over to
her the pet white monkey.
