The Republican party profess to
have deep interest in tho move to
suppress tho trusts, but when it
comes to act, they are ready to sug-
gest any and every method of ac-
complishing that end, except the
one by which it can be done. If
they are simply playing for
popular applause and really do
not want to do anything, they might
manage to have the matter referred
to State legislation, Or they might
get it placed in the hands of COM
mission and let it be strangled
there. -Ex.

The Republican party has al
ways claimed that the object of a
tariff was to protect the American
laboring man against the pauper
labor of Europe" Now let's see
how it protects. John Smith is a
shoemaker-an American laboring
man-working in factory in Bos-
ton at 50 day. John Jones is a
shoemaker-a pauper laborer of
Europe working in factory in
London at 81 day. Now all the
tariff you may put on the shoes
made by pauper Jones would not
hinder him from coming to Bos-
ton and taking American Smiths
place at 81 so day,
If you want to protect American
labor by tariff you must put
tariff on foreign labor,
Labor is an article of commerce
the same as boots and shoes and
the only way to protect it against
foreign labor is to put the tariff on
the foreigner instead of what he
produces.

An exchange says: The loss to
travelling men by reason of tho
trusts is not restricted to those who
lost their jobs. The salaries of
those who have been retained have
been materially reduced. OF
course, the reduction of expenses
would enable tho trusts to reduce
the price of goods, but this has not
been the result. The price of near
ly all articles controlled by trusts
have been increased. The increase
in the price of goods, the reduction
of salaries and the throwing of men
out of employment are pointed to
as evidences of great prosperity.

ownes theaters in New York, Chicago,

the position and will withdraw in a day

him for a sum represented, it is said,
by the figures involved in the realty
transfer. Mr.. Lift has left for New

make any detailed statement, tonight
acknowledged that he was indebted to
Mr. Lit and that the transfer of proper

PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than it's pi- gedns, which bring a suggestion of old-World stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There is particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon- don, and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side Of a huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life, for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but grain and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of a coffee house religiously brings bits of broken bread for bis feathered friends
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half dozen read CTS who make a practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food. The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there one who will not scatter a handful of grain from the horses nosebasA

Methods Of Collecting Taxes In.titutet

Methods Of Collecting Taxes Instftuted
 by an Official of San Francisco.
 They are going to collect the tax, the whole tax, and nothing less than the tax out in California. It seems that there have resided In the city of ups and downs many of that ubiquitous class of citizens who believe 1t cheaper to lie than to pay taxes. Salaries, it is rumored. were falling behind; his honor needed cuspidors in his office. The methods adopted by the new as- sessor, elected on reform platform of his own making, whose name, cur iously enough, is Dodge, savers pung- ently of the ancient inquisition. The way the thing has been done in most cities is for the deputy collector to call and leave blank. This re- ceiving no attention beyond few twenty-five dolls;" household goods. furniture. chattels, etc, one hundred doils.," the deputy humbly pockets what he knows to be a lie and goes his way; the result being that the very signer of such a libel Is obliged for another year to stumble over the pave ments he has since childhood deeried, and stand up for moro months in the street cars, whose overloaded condi- tion he has in print so violently exe- crated. These unmethods are de. clared by Dodge archaic The new way is to force ons's way into a house and estimate the value of the goods from the standpoint of an outsider. The procedure is naturally meeting with much opposition, even by those who voted for reform and MT. Dodge. The latter gentleman, however, is seemingly careless of reelection and pursues the even tenor of his way all undisturbed. The constitutionality of the case is being contested in the San Francisco courts.

 Three million Jews live in Russia, where they are shut up in the western provinces and villainously treated. If he ventures to live outside the Jew ish pale in Russia Hebrew has to carry on some humble trade, and the richest banker i'll Odessa, If any Rus sian has grudge against him, may be compelled to work as cobbler on pain of punishment. Naturally the Jews retaliate, and delight in getting Rus sian officials and nobles under their power with loans of money. One mill lion five hundred thousand Jews live in the Austrian empire, where they are persecuted The present mayor and corporation of Vienna were elected for the express purpose of bullying the Jewish community. France has 80,- GOO Jews, Roumania has 100000 Jews, Germany 100000, Holland 80,000, and Italy 50,000. Great Britain has S0,- 900, including many ofsour most mo- table and popular public men. Europe has 6,OO0,00O Jews, America 350,0OO, Africa 500,000, Asia 1000, and Aus tralasia 10000. So altogether there are 7,12O,OOO of this nation, which is pretty fair, considering that 5000 years ago they only numbered about 3,00O,- 900. and the whole civilized world has been massacring and bullying them ever since. They seem to be by far the most capable race on earth. There is not single art, industry or science in which they have not excelled.

PLANTS THAT SLEEP.

Plants sleep as truly as do animals. The best-marked form of slumber in the vegetable world is the wirler rest, when so many forms of vegetation re- tire to the soil together with the dor mant animals-dormice, squirrels and bears. Ali trees and shrubs hibernate.
 Some plants go to sleep every night. The mimosa, or sensitive plant, in day. light opens It's fragile leaves, which are hard at work eating, absorbing the earbonie acid of the air into plant food. At night the mimosa sleeps and digests what it has eaten, and the leaves fold up double against each other, the stem droops and the leaf is limp and appar ently dead
 The wood sorre1 in daytime is wide open. The leaves are composed of three leaflets, each with midribs that suggest to the casual glance the possl- bility of folding. And that Is just what they do. Each leaf folds over on itself If flowers kept open cold spring nights the frosts might nip them, rain might wash away the honey and pollen. so they are wise blossoms that cover up their hearts during the dark hourG
