TALES OF THE DAY.
Meek and Lowlv Dean

In the early part of the century, Vaux-
hall was the resort Cd many respectable
persons, especially of those who came up
from the country to see London sights,
runs a story that the London Spectator
says Lord de Ros told. During one sea-
son 1t was infested by a band of roughs,
who made IL their occupation to insult
and modest the most quiet, decent people,
especially any whom they guessed To be
country visitors. They became such a
nuisance that several men about town,
among whom We're Lord Alvanley and
KepDel Craven. laid a plot to get rid OF
them. They hired Mendoza, the famous
prize-hghter. and dressed him up as a
dean. with a shovel hat and apron. An
other prize-ighter, a short man, was
dressed as middle-aged lady, and passed
as the deans wife, and one evening they
were seated at Vauxhall in conspicuous
position. 10 watch the fireworks. 1t was
not long before the old-fashioned. coun-
trified pair attracted the attention of the
gang. who assailed them with every kind
of coarse raillery and insult, all of which
they bore very meekly.
AT length one of the prosecutors, grow
ing holder by impunity, stepped up to the
dean and squirted an orange into his eye.

Bismarck and Experience.

An English paper says that Bismarck
was one day in a company where, among
other things, the subject of how much IL
cost to gam experience in life, came up.
He kept silent for awhile. but presently
Joined in the conversation, and said:
Fools pretend that you can only gain
experience at your own expense, but
have always managed to learn at the ex-
pense of others"
When he was Prussian ambassador at
Paris, the Hessian charge d'atfaires in
France was Count Gutenberg, whose hob
by il was TO collect the autographs OF IA
nous statesmen. On one page OF his al
bum Guizot had written: In the course
of my long career 1 have learned to for
give much, but 10 forget nothing. NJ.
Theirs had written underneath: "A little
forgetfulness would not detract from the
sincerity of the forgiveness. Bismarck
was asked to inscribe something on the
same page, and he wrote at the bottom;
AS for myself, existence has taught me
to forget many things and to get myself
forgiven for great many more"

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.

Yesterdays dispatches contained an
other chapter in the story of Repuo-
lican prosperity. Enough money mas
been expended on account of the wal
| to make times better. Business is al
ways certain to improve in the VIC
/ torious country at the close of con-
nict. And it will improve in many
lines, in spite of trade restrictions I'M
der the present administration.
But the failure of the Dingley bill
| to stimulate industry and help the Ia
/ boring man is painfully apparent.
Mark Hanna's employees are begin
ming to realize the insincerity of cam
paign promises already. The manager
of Hanna's coal business in Ohio pre-
diets a wage reduction and a strike.
His miners have just passed through
one ordeal of the kind. Another is
upon them.
The manager says: I'm the early
part of next year we viii have one OF
the greatest coal strikes this country
has ever seen. All indications are that
the strike will last many months"
This is a cheerful outlook for the men
who were coerced into supporting Nc
Kinley for the presidency. They have
submitted to one decline, and, when
the contract under which they went to
work expires, they will be obliged to
accept reduction of Is or 16 cents
per ton or fight again.
Mr.. Hanna's agent says further that
.'the West Virginia miners are working
cheaper than ever before. All efforts
on the part of other miners to organ
ize them have been in vain. There is
no hope that they will be brought into
line"
Coal miners in the anthracite region
of Pennsylvania are complaining. They
are making protests against starvation
wages. While the price of the product
has been raised to consumers, the re-
ward of the man who takes it from
the ground has been lowered.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Chicago News: Secretary Alger does
not intend to order an investigation of his
department, but he is endeavoring to shift
the blame upon others than himself,
which is Enthusiastically Algerian. 1t
is just as well, however, that no investi-
CATION should be made under the auspices
of the war department. AS John Sher-
man says, The persons responsible
should be impeached, and congress alone
has the power of Impeachment"
