tered a BARRIERS shop in Manchester
and while being shaved casually re-
marked: 81 suppose a good many of
your customers forgct'to pay?''

was q time when l used to give credit,
but i never do now. In fact, nobody
asks for it any more"

little nick in his nose with my razor,

ODD INDIAN CUSTOM.
crt Rake Up stones Into
Long WindrONvs.

Near the town called The Needles,
about IL miles across the Colorado
river, on the California side, writes
w. Il. Curtis, from Flagstaff, Ariz., TO
the Chicago Record, is an area of
about 1000 acres, more or less, where
the Hulapais Indians rake up he stones
in windows in a most mysterious man
ncr and for a reason that has never
been satisfactorily explained to the
white citizen Of that section.
1t is a dreary and dusty desert. Rain
seldom falls. The surface of the
ground, 4 hard clay that has been bak-
ing in the sun for centuries, is covered
with broken lava and pumicc stone,
which at some time was discharged
from orc OF the great volcanoes, whose
silent cra;crs can be seen in the San
Bcrnardino mountains. This is the or
binary appearance OF the country for
leagucsaround. You can travel an hour,
or ten hours, for that matter, in any di-
rcction away from the river bed, with
out seeing anything green or any plant
or thing OF life, except cactus or Il
sage bush. Under the shadow of a
group OF mighty hills is a mesa, or Ia bic
land, that is almost level, and there,
once year, upon some anniversary,
whose significance is not understood,
and cannot be asccrtained, the In
dians of the Hnalapais tribe gather at
night and rake the lava and pumicc
stones into windows. Some of the wind
rows are two miles long. They are reg
ular in length and in intervals, and the
average height is about 12 or Is inches,
just about the height of windrow of
hay left by horserakc in meadow.

Helping Soldiers.

San Francisco spent $35, 900 in making
a great spectacle when the California
regiment returned from the war. No
one should %begrudge any money spent
in testifying to the soldiers the esteem
in which they are held by the people,
but the money best used Is that spent
in providing for the maintenance of
those who returned invalids, and in as
sisting the volunteers who have no en-
ployment to find some. Many of them
will soon exhaust the sums to their
credit and be without means of sus-
tenance. They may remember with
pride the spectacle given in their honor,
but recollections will not satisfy the
pangs of hunger nor lessen the anguish
of a sick man who has no means to buy
the comforts needed by an invalid. Ten
nessee people have shown good sense
by appointing a committee whose bust
ness it is ITO secure positions for the
volunteers from that state who have no
employment in sight. If the committee
secures for the returning men places
where they can make a living, it will be
more sensible than to treat them to
band music, banquets and bouquets and
then leave them to hustle for them
selves in the hard race for employment.

Writing to the New York Press from
London under date of July rs, Mr.. Fl.
Curtis Brown, a staff correspondent of
that paper, presents with much force
and distinctness the subject of trusts
in England. Such a ~presentment comes
at a moment when facts are important
in order to accurately determine the ex-
tent to which trusts abound in a coun-
try where protection is unknown. From
Mr.. Browns article it is learned, among
other things, that in free trade England
the modern trust had its origin, and has
attained to its most complete develop
ment. To-day, says this well-informad
writer, there are more trade combina-
tons to the square inch in England
than in the United States, and 1t will
not be long at the present rate before
every trade in the tight little island will
be in a position to regulate competi-

The tin-plate trust has increased
wages Is per cent this year, which
means that 81, 900, 900 more will be paid
for a certain amount of labor than vas
paid last year.. The fact that there is a
tin-plate trust is argued as a proof that
a protective tariff is an evil. The tin
plate industry in this country was es-
tablished as a result of protection. 1t
pays millions for labor. The money for
merly went to Europe. That the indus
try has been grabbed by a combination
Is no argument against protection. The
oil business has not been aided by a
tariff, for there is no duty on oil, yet ii
is the greatest trust or monopoly in the
country. The tin-plate combination,
like others, will be shorn of it's power
if it raises prices, for competition, i'm
portations or legislation will restrain or
reduce the effect of such business meth

.~PennsYIvania's Voice.

Pennsylvania has a tin-horn anti-im-
%perialist league, but it's noise has prob
ably not been sufficient to disturb any
body, even in the quiet old town of
Philadelphia. At any rate, the Repub-
lican state convention was not dis
turbed by any echoes from that source
when it met a few days ago and enthu-
siastically Endorsed the course of Pres
ident Mckinley, and declared that it Is
the wish of the Republican party of
that state to have him renominated for
president.
The platform adopted at the v
ton ~recites that in the years the party
has been in power all Republican
pledges have been fully redeemed. Bust
ness Is active and remunerative, labor
is employed at good and increasing
wages, capital has an ample field for
investment, and an area Of unexampled
prosperity has been i%naugurated.
Upon the subject of money the plat
form declares against free silver and
for the gold standard. The support of
the country in the Philippine war is
pledged. The Dingley tariff law is de-
clared satisfactory. One plank Of the
platform declares in favor of the up
building of a merchant marine by Leg
islation.
Upon the subject of expansion the
resolution reads as follows: ITO give
continued employment to the industry,
ingenuity and skill of the American me-
chanic and laborer, we must find new
markets abroad for our surplus prod
The commercial control of addi-
tional territory will afford new markets,
which will necessarily increase our
and develo our manufac-
interests. We have ceased to be
content with supplying products for
home consumption alone. We must
keep pace with other nations in seeking
new fields for u commerce, and to this
end we support the policy of industrial, |
commercial and national expansion, and

The south is enjoying it's share of the
country's increased prosperity. Manu-
features in that section have increased
60 per cent faster during the past qua =
ter of 1899 than during the correspond
ing quarter last year. The industries
already in the south are all doing well,
many charging their plants and many

The Bryan argument that the hum of
industry could only come through free
silver coinage is being disproved by
strong facts in the section where Bry-
