Some Tribune Lies.

No one living in Jersey City need be
told that the election is over. The
filthy condition of the streets t~estiies
to the fact that the comfort of the
citizens no longer concerns the city
officials.
This from the New York Tribune"
this morning, nc one living in Jersey
City need be told, is a most deliberate
know it better than the man who is now
responsible for the column in which the
above appeared, as he lives in Jersey City
and walks some of her streets every day
on his way to the Tall Tower of Men
6acity.
The truth is that the cleaning of the
streets has been going on just as indus
triously since election as it did previous
to last Tuesday. One reform in this
particular which was started by Mayor
Hoos and has been kept up, and is to be
kept up, so long as he remains Mayor,
Is the cleaning of the lower part of Mont
gomery street every day. This ought to
be appreciated by the ~s.ssTripune's' latest
Importation from the rural districts as
he traverses that th~oroughfare almost
every day of his life.
1t is true hi some of Jersey City's
streets are not swept and cleaned as
often as could be wished, but this is not
the fau1t of the city officials. The blame,
If any, rests upon the taxpayers of both
parties, who resist all efforts to appro-
pirate more money for street cleaning.
There are. in Jersey City, ten miles of
asphalted streets and 81 miles of streets
paved with Belgian or granite blocks and
macadam, and all that is annually APP
propriated for keeping these streets clean,
including the removal of garbage and
ashes. is s4o,o0o
What can be expected for such a sum?
TALKING of clean streets, we see a
report in some of the papers to the effect
mat the ladies, who are interesting thenl-
selves in the subject, have obtained a
promise from some businessmen to wash
OF their sidewalks twice daily. We hope
the rumor is untrue. If it is not, it is a
symptom of tina misguided zeal which
does far more harm than good.
We are paying the East Jersey Water
Company $s7 a million gallons for water,
Just at present. The consumption is enor-

Dom PauI's Cold Feet.

81 met Dom Paul when he was here a.
good many years ago. He was an honest
old soul, but rough, certainly. Still, he
was man to respect" writes the Paris
correspondent of London Truth. 81
saw him guilty of the solecism of draw
ing off his boots in company to warm
his feet. The weather was cold and
there was blazing fire. He no more
saw the harm of toasting his unshod
feet than his ungloved hands before it.
Dom Paul had principles and stood by
them. Whenever his eye caught lady
in low dress he grunted and turned
away his head. He was sent an order
to the state box at the opera and
availed himself of it. But the ballet so
Mortified him that he would not stay to
see it out. He wondered why Gods
vengeance did not overtake Paris"

A SECOND RIP.
An Old Timer Who Thought Mr..
Gresham Was Still Post
master-GeneraI.

A bewhiskered individ ual walked into
the post office department the other
day. He seemed to have a very clear
idea of what he wanted, but he didn't
know how to get at it. He went int one
OF the rooms and stepped up in front
of desk, says the Washington Post.
L want to see Mr.. Gresham" he an
nounced to one Of the young lady clerks.

man with the whiskers. 81 want the

"Smitb?'' queried the visitor. "The

an they amt no kin, neither. Whar's
Mr.. Gresham? Been fired ?"

lady, solemnly. "He was secretary Of

The old fellow never batted his ewes
at the statement. He simply said "Uh-

the office wondered if he was not related

1T WAS THE TRUTH.
But Nobody believed What He Said.
and They Suffered In
Consequence.

"a funny thing happened TO me when
I had charge of our branch Office" said
a New Orleans cotton man, according
to the Times-Democrat of that city.
Our quarters were on the second floor
Of three-story building and the rooms
above were rented by very pleasant
foreign-looking chap who passed as a
chemist. l used to be detained at my
desk quite late a. night and had my
curiosity excited by singular noise in
the laboratory overhead. 1t was a mo-
notonous click-clack, like a heavy ma
chine. One day l met the chemist on
the stairs and asked him what he was
doing that made such racket. oh, I'm
making silver dollars up there he said,
laughing, and passed on. One night
about week later city detective with
whom [ had struck up an acquaintance
strolled in for a chat and a smoke.
What's that queer noise up there?' he
asked, presently, as the usual click
clacking started. oh, nothing much
Ireplied. It's friend of mine making
silver dollars 'Ha, hal laughed the de-
tective. We'll, he's in a first-rate bust
ness. Wonder if he wants a partner?
Exactly two days later the agreeable
foreign-looking gentleman skipped out
and when the landlord broke open his
door, 10 and behold there was as neat
a little counterfeiting plant as you ever
laid eyes on. The clicking came from
machine for 'reeding' the coins. The
detective was mad as blazes, but I
couldn't help it. [ had told him the
truth"

TIE FOREIGNER IN JAPAN.
Change OF Status in Official Circles
Within the Last Few
Years.

One Of the most interesting Gues-
lions in consideration of present Japan
is the changed status of the foreigner.
To be European or an American in
Japan twenty, ten, or even five, years
ago was to be a man of power and in
fiuence. When foreigners were first adj
mitted to the empire the Japanese,
one of the shrewdest, most far-sight-
ed peoples of the world, adopted their
methods and their religion, hired them
as teachers, engineers and officers. Now,
according TO Japan in Transition" the
first important book dealing entirely
with the new Japan, since they have
learned all the foreigners can teach
them in science, literatur art, war,
commerce, manufacturing, in short, in
all enterprises, they are RELOCATING their
instructors to the background with the
cry Japan for the Japanese" 1t was
thought at one time that Japan would
in time become Christian nation. The
author of Japan in Transition shows
that almost all who accepted Christian
ity did so for the sake of the instruc-
ton which the missionaries alone could
give. In the army and navy the same
state of affairs exists. English and
German officers who fought for Japan
throughout the China war were dis
charged for the reason that the mill
tary schools which were founded
through their efforts have developed
tirst-class officers. Everywhere the pol
icy of discharging the foreigner as
soon as possible has been adopted, and
in few years foreigner in any kind
of an official capacity will be the ex-
ception. At present the ambassadors
of the powers are practically the only
foreigners who command and real re-
spect.

on Sallie and the babies. And you
won't be able much longer to fool the
farmer with the idle trash that this tax
alton is necessary to build up home
manufactures and gives him a better
market for his stuffs. We would have
the manufactures aud the home mar
ket without the tariff taying the farm
er in the interest of manufacturers as
we'll as with it. Even now the boast OF
republican organs and speakers is our
exports of manufactured goods to for
eign markets when they have not the
benefit Of tariff protection. If they can
compete successfully in foreign mar
kets they assuredly could do so here
against foreign goods in our market.
AS to giving the farmer better prices
for his stuffs these prices are so COM
pletely determined elsewhere that grain
pits hardly open their heads until they
have heard from London and Paris,
and just recently cotton contracts in
the South were thought to be void be-
cause based on false or doctored Liver
pool quotations. 1t is all a yankee
trick by which the farmer aud his labor
is expected to unnecessarily and un-
willingly tax themselves in the interest
Of the manufacturer and his labor. If
it is so necessary to have a market for
the farmer it is equally necessary to
have home market for the manufac-
turer, aud if tariff protection is neces-
sary to one and good thing, it is nee
essary to the other and a good thing.
And as the farmer cannot for the most
part form and operate trusts, manufac-
turers, and the transportation people
and great commercial corporations
should not be allowed them. More
over, if the farmer receives no subsi-
dies let the other fellows get on with
out them. If it be said the farmer does
not need these things, then we ask who

Didn't Do a Thing to Him.

The man who has run about a bit
thinks he knows the origin of the ex-
preston, "did'nt do a thing to him,
which was frequently heard a year or
two ago, and is not entirely obsolete
today. He says that it came from Bos-
ton, which would indicate that it must
have been in good use in the begin
ming. According to this story the
phrase was bred and spread from po-
lice station in the neighborhood Of
Causeway street, in Boston. A patrol
man brought in one night a prisoner
with badly cracked head Two or
three officers had been concerned in
the arrest of the fellow, and it was ex-
planned that his wounds were the re-
suit of an attempt to break away from
his captors. Some of the arrested
mans friends had joined In the fun,
the other officers had cume up, and
there had been brisk tapping of clubs
before the prisoner was safely installed
in the wagonette. The lieutenant look
ed at the blood-streaks on the mans
forehead and said;
"Look here, Jim, you've used this
duck up pretty we'll. You didn't have
to soak him like that, did you?"
"Oh, that must have been one of the
other boys" said Jim, scentiug lee
ture. 81 didn't do thing to this one.
"Oh, no, you didn't" shouted the
prisoner in angry irony. "Oh, you
didn't do ting to me-" He gave Jim
various titles which in spite of the un-
deniable advantages or realism cannot
be repeated here. Look at dis, Loot,
an, look at dis. Pipe de holes in me
nut. Oh, he didn't do a ting to me,
he didn't" Then he conferred more
titles upon Jim, besides repeating those
which he already employed, andbhe
was led off to the cells still calculating,
ooh, no; he didn't do ting to me-. ="
Just as the patrolman was leaving the
guardroom to go back on duty second
officer with second disturber, gather
ed little later from the scene of the
frolic came in. The offenders head
was as badly cracked as the others had
been. The lieutenant smiled at pat
rolmen No. and said to patrolman No.
u, We'll Reilly, see you didn't do a
thing to your man, either.
The joke was told the next day, and
as the jokes of those in authority are
quick to become popular, the phrase
was soon in use throughout that sta
tion, and no man showing the results
of fight could be brought in thereaf-
ter, but some one would say, swell,
they didn't do thing to him, did
they?" So it spread over the country.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tioual remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachin Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rnmbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
