A Pointed Question.

The great question whether the use
of forks is understood in Chicago hav-
ing been happily settled in Paris, it
may be asked in seriousness whether
forks are not too much used in Chicago
and everywhere else. Not that anybody
wants to use the knife for conveying
food to the mouth, but might not the
teaspoon as part Of the dinner equip
ment be little more prominent?
People of breeding train their chill
dren to eat peas, for instance. with a
fork, tabooing the spoon for no apparent
reason other than that its use would
simplify and facilitate the operation.
On the same principle they ought to eat
their peas with chopsticks, as China
man could easily do. So with certain
kinds of pie and pastry. The relish is
marred by the loss of juices too thin for
the fork to carry. Yet the man who
values his social reputation must not
ask for spoon.
The proper use of the silver fork
might be better understood if it were
regarded as modified shovel with linn.
itations imposed by its Sits. For solids
it is an excellent shovel. For liquids it
is naturally failure. The countryman
who on his first visit to a city hotel
asked the water for spoon with no
Sits in it was no legitimate subject of
ridicule. He was an impartial critic,
being without the prejudice of habit OF
tradition. Hotel Mail

ute the depression in the New Eng

facts that "those who work in Chair

mills of which he is part owner are
not spared. 3" and that for these work
men in particular the situation must be
instructive.
Yes, indeed, the situation Is very in
structive. 1t shows exactly what can be
done by depending upon free raw mate
rial and Democratic tariff ideas. 1t may
have escaped the attention of our con
temporary hat the rates which are now
in force in the Dingley bill, with refer

those which were contained in the Cor
man bill, that exemplar of tariff reform

matter to be laid upon the Republican
party in adopting tariff on cotton
goods, the blame applies equally to the

tariff reform" movement. which the
Springfield Republican supported heart
lily and earnestly for many years. The
German tariff bill represented the only
kind of Democratic tariff reform which
has gone on the statute books of this
country within 40 years. The cotton
tariff of the German bill was founded
upon free raw materials, that revered
shibboleth of tariff reform" in this
country. The cotton schedule, therefore,
may be taken as thoroughly representa-
tive of what tariff reform" means.
Possibly in the enactment Of the
.Dingley bill the cotton schedule should
have been changed from the rates speci-
fled in the German tariff. At all events,
if the schedule itself is to blame for the
reduction in wages any criticism apply
ing to the Dingley bill in that connec-
tion goes directly back to the German
law. The Republicans were not satisfied
with the wooden schedule of the law of
1894 and increased the rates of that
schedule. 1t is significant as we'll as
