Whose Is the ChildP

A question has been brought be-
fore the Cairo courts, the decision
of which involves one of the most
intricate questions of ownership
which, perhaps, has ever come be-
fore a Judge since the time Solomon
made his famous decision.
The story of Sister Theresa, who
was liberated by the English at the
taking OF Omdurman, is too recent
to need repetition. After her return
to Cairo with the other liberated
prisoners Sister Theresa retook the
veil, and brought to the convent
with her her son, from whom she
refused to be separated. Her prin-
cipal reason for this action, she
urged, was her desire to bring the
child up in her religion and not that
OF his father, which is Orthodox.
Dimitri Calorombos, the father,
has just brought an action in the
Egyptian courts to have the child
restored to him. Sister Theresa's
counsel will plead the nullity OF the
marriage, on the plea of coercion.
Dimitri, on the contrary, will in
woke the consent OF the nun to a
union contracted through affection.

a Hawaiian Mirror.

In the spacious rooms of the Por.
ter Furnishing Company is on exhi-
bition a magnificent mirror framed
in Hawaiian woods. There is moth
ing in the islands which can equal
this beautiful piece OF furniture
which has history here.
Major Moehonua had the mirror
built in days gone by. He shipped
some exquisitely veined koa and milo
woods to Germany, where the carv-
ing and polishing we're done, and a
beautiful frame made for a heavy
Venetian glass. The mirror on it's
marble support stands nine feet
high, aud when in the halls Of Hale
aniaui attracted the attention OF all
visitors.
w. M. Gibson bought the costly
mirror alter the death of Moehonua,
aud from him it came into the hands
Of Mrs Hayselden, his daughter, who
hesitates to move the splendid piece
of furniture to Lanai, fearing that
an injury might be done, aud there
fore has left it with the Porter Fur
nishing Co. probably with he ulti-
mate intention Of disposiog of it
here. There may not be rooms lofty
enough for 9-feet mirrors in Lanai
yet, and it is pity to bury in a
warehouse a mirror, the frame Of
which has no equal in the islands

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-07-15
Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
THE ARGUMENT GROWS luNSy.

If the esteemed trust organist OF
Fourteenth street continues his tim
plate argument much longer commits
sion of his friends will have to look
after him, for he has reached a sage
where his efforts are becoming comic.
He complains that the Register "harps
on the one point that the Wilson bill
made the tinplate industry" and adds,
that sit (the Register) knows that it
was Wilson who originated the argu-
ment that tinplate could not be made
here, tariff or no tariff
How our esteemed but slightly daz-
ed contemporary reconciles this state
ment with the fact that this same
wicked free trader" Wilson, in the
tariff - bearing his name, granted
the, industry in this country its raw
material free for the express purpose
of having tinplate made in this coun-
try our neighbor doesn't deign to elu-
cidate. Maybe he overlooked it. At
any rate the fiat contradiction as it
stands is rather amusing, although
from another standpoint it may be re-
garded by the organist's friends as an
alarming symptom.
But that is not all. Speaking of the
tariff of one cent pound on tinplate
that existed for many years prior to
the Mckinley bill, our neighbor says:
1.-THE Intelligencer said it was not
protective duty, else tin plate would have
been made, as were other products Lnat
were fostered by protective duties
The funny part of this is that, al
though the Mckinley bill INCREASED
this duty to 90 cents per pound, Amer
lean tinplate was not made CONNER
cially and did not figure in the market
until the Wilson bill REDUCED the
duty to IL cents, or practically what it
was before the passage of the McKin-
ley bill!
How Is this seeming anomaly ac-
counted for? Why, by the simple
TACT, which our fuddled contemporary
overlooks entirely, that the Wilson
bill, while it cut the Mckinley duty in
half. practically restoring the old tar
iff, at the same time put into operation
the Democratic principle of free raw
material and PLACED RAW TIN ON
THE FREE LIST. And it is the only
redeeming feature of the present in
iquitous Dingley trust tariff that its
authors had the common sense to re-
tain this wise Democratic provision,
else the life of the American tinplate
industry would have expired with the
last Democratic tariff, which gave it
birth.
But our neighbours tinplate nemesis
still pursues him. In wild-eyed sort
of way he declares that the Registers
statement that the American tinplate
industry had practically no existence
in this country prior to the passage of
the Wilson bill is a terrific falsehood.
To prove it he gives an exhibition of
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-07-15

the cunning that frequently accom-
panies a >disordered intellect. While
not giving any figures Of American tin
plate production prior to the Wilson
bill, it is evident that he has thorough
ly paved over the ''figgers" given in
that VIGOROUSLY accurate and honest
compilation, the Republican campaign
book of that period, and saturated him
self with the aforesaid "figgers" of
American tinplate production prior to
the Democratic tariff of "a. All the
information he vouchsafes his readers
on the subject, however, is that for
two years we had been making mil
lions of pounds" Mark that our cute
neighbor did not say millions of
pounds of tinplate. Even our centem-
porary's conscience would not permit
him to do that. We have admitted
that tinplate was made experimentally
in the United States even before the
passage of the Mckinley bill, but it
was only experimental. Not pound
of it ever appeared in the market, for
the excellent reason stated. After the
passage of the Mckinley bill expert
mental dipping establishments
doomed for while. They dipped
foreign black plates into foreign tin
and called the result American tinplate
and used it for campaign purposes,
only.
AS to our neighbours millions of
pounds of American tinplate which he
says were made in the United States
prior to the passage of the Wilson bill,
cur cunning contemporary gets these
figures by counting as tinplate, the pro-
duct known as terne plate and roofing
tin, which is merely sheet iron coated
with composition of zinc and has
been produced in this country almost
ever since sheet iron was first produc-
ed. 1t is a product entirely different
from what is quoted on the market to-
day as tinplate, and if our Fourteenth
street neighbor does not know it his
case is serious, indeed.
The fact that the American tinplate
industry is an exclusive product of the
Democratic policy of free raw material
the wisdom of which the monopoly
tariff folks themselves have confessed
by retaining that Democratic provis-
ion in the present Dingley tariffs
mighty sore point with our political
adversaries. But it's a point they
have to meet, for they can't get around
it, Facts are facts.
Another prominent and pertinent
fact in this connection is that while
the last Democratic tariff produced the
American tinplate industry, the last
Republican tariff produced the Ameri-
can Tinplate Trust, which has the legi-
innate industry and the consumer by
the throat, Which is another particu-
larly sore spot with the managers OF
the party of the trusts, because they
know the people know it.
