DEATH TO THE INDUSTRY.
Fifteen Per Cent Tariff Will Keep Out
Porto Rican Tobacco.

Fifteen Per Cent Tariff Will Keep Out
Porto Rican Tobacco.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 3.-Mr.
W. P. Townes, president Of the Porto
Rican Tobacco company, declares that
Is per e of the Dingley rates will
prohibit Porto Rican tobacco from sale
in the United States. The raw leaf
would pay on an average 5 IA cents in
the United States and finished goods u
l-2 cents per pound. This would be
discriminating in favor Of the United
States manufacturers to the extent Of
1926 on each 1000 pounds.
"Skilled labor" he said, 'is higher
here than in the United States and the
passage of the proposed bill would de-
stroy Porto Rican manufactures. 1t
would be a crime against Porto Rican
labor and capital. If congress is sincere
in its endeavor to raise revenue for the
island it cannot consistently take the
Dingley bill as a basis. The difference
of rates between the manufactured and
raw products will protect the United
States manufacturers but slaughter the
Porto Rican manufacturers"

THE FREsCO PAINTING CLASS,

THE ambition is highly commendable," says
East Side worker, and there are many
instances where the natural gifts of the chill
dren have justified the sacrifices Of the parents,
but they the exceptions. To the people
whose good fortune it is not to be compelled
to work for a living failures are not msfOrtunes.
The rich mans daughter who does not succeed
a musician may still find the little that she
has acquired a source of amusement, and the
rich mans son whose health failed him at col
lege may succeed in Wall Street; but it is diff
ferent with the poor boy and the poor girl
whose education was to be the means of
livelihood"
At a concert which took place on the East
Side few years ago one of the performers was
a little girl whose violin playing attracted the
attention of some of, the visitors to such
extent that believing that the little one had
extraordinary talent. they urged her father to
allow her to take lessons from a competent
master She made fair progress and was looked
upon by her neighbOrs great" That was
three years ago. She is one of large family,
and her father now looks for returns on his
investment. The girl complained to some of
her friends recently, saying that she did not
like to play in female orchestra, that she could
not find pupils enough to make teaching pay
and she thought she would go into a store.

PLENTY OF SCALLOPS.
A BIVALVE WITH A ROWING DISPOSITION
LIKELY TO BE FOUND IN
NEW PLACES

There will be shortage Of scallops in the
coming fall if the reports that wholesale fish
dealers of this city have received from their
different stations along the coast are to be
trusted. Although some OF the beds which last
season sent large quantities to the market will
probably be barren this year, the erratic she'll
fish will be found in quantities in many new
places
At some of the harbors from which scallops
have disappeared it was feared that the industry
had been overworked last year and that the
scallop was threatened with determination like
the lobster. Shell fishermen about the markets
say that the scallOp is in no such danger. They
assert that no amount of dredging could make
a serious impression, although it would prob
ably change the fishing grounds. The demand
for this tasteful shellfsh was greater than usual
last year but the supply was not lacking.
If there should ever be a shortage of ordinary
scallops the dealers have something to fall back
on. Along the entire coast from Baltimore to

ANTS MILITARY sTRATEsIsrs.
Soldiers Might Profit By Taking Lessons From
tho Little Insects.

From a military standpoint the
methods employed by ants to provide
food for an ant colony, are almost per-
feet. Their foraging parties are fault
less, both in planning and execution,
and are almost uniformly successful.
A resident Of this city, who is at pres
ent in business In South Africa, has
sent home description Of foray Of
an army Of ants. The army, which he
estimates to have numbered about 49,
900 ants, started from their home in
the mud walls of q hut and marched in
the direction Of small mound Of fresh
earth but few yards distant. The
head Of the column halted on reaching
the foot Of the mound and waited for
the rest Of the. force to arrive at the
place of operations; which evidently
was to be the mound of fresh earth.
When the remainder had arrived and
halted so that the entire army was as
sembled, q number Of ants detached
themselves from the main body and
began to ascend to the top Of the
mound, while others began moving so
as to encircle the base Of the mound:
Very soon number from the detach-
ment which had ascended the mound,
evidently the attacking party, entered
the loose earth and speedily returned,
each bearing cricket or a young
grasshopper, dead, which he deposited
upon the ground, and then returned for
q fresh load. Those who had remained
on the outskirts Of the mound took up
the crickets and grasshoppers as they
were brought out and bore them down
to the base Of the hill, returning for
q fresh load. Soon the contents Of the
mound seemed to be exhausted and
then the whole force returned home,
each carrying his burden Of food for
the community.
Here, then, was a regular foray,
planned and executed with military
precision, the country surveyed, the
depot Of provisions known accurately
before the march was made, and at
the mound prudential division Of labor
and care taken that none Of the VIC
TINS should escape.-Chicago Chronicle.

COST OF NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS.

In 1876 more than 100000 were COL
lected and spent by the campaign man
ayers Of the two parties. Four years
later they had at their disposal more
than $1,OOO,00O, and in 1894 the cam
paign disbursements were half as much
again. In 1883 the Harrison-Cleveland
campaign cost not less than 81, 800, 900;
and in the campaign Of 1892 the ex-
penditures Of the two national commit
tees was quite 5000, 900. Finally in
1896 more than 81, 1000, 900 passed through
the hands Of Chairman Hanna and
Chairman Jones and their associates.
Indeed, some of the shrewdest politi-
clans are of opinion that the science Of
campaigning will be developed In the
near future to such an extent that each
national committee will be compelled to
organize something like bank trust
company, which shall have control Of
its financial operations; for they have
now become so enormous that they de-
mand something different from the
comparatively irresponsible method Of
handling the funds in past years.
The most expensive work Of ma
tional campaign is done during the
three weeks before the election. Every
doubtful state is closely watched by
men prompt to discover every change
in the political tide, and money is
transmitted in large sums to the locali-
ties in which 1t Is believed 1t will pro-
duce the best results. A few days be-
fore the election in 1888 West Vir-
ginia received $4,000 from the Demo-
cratic national committee, and the Re-
publicans sent $4,000 to the same state.
About the same time the Democrats
sent 100000 into Indiana; and three
nights before the election Chairman
Quay, Of the republican national COM
mittee, sent 100000 from New York, to
trusted lieutenants in Fort Wayne, In
diana. A fortnight before the election
of 1896 the Republicans became doubt
full about Iowa. Chairman Hanna at
once resolved upon personal canvass
of every doubtful voter in the state.
He proposed that every voter not class
ed on the polling lists either as down.
right Democrat or a downright Repub-
lican should be visited by some jealous
member of the Republican party. Be-
fore election day thousands OF such
men in towns, in cities, and In the
country were sought out and appealed
to by the Republicans most likely to
win them; and this canvass is said to
have cost the National committee more
than 100000.

A REPORTER IN THE PULPIT.-George
r. Grassie, a reporter on the staff Of
one Of the Milwaukee daily newspa-
pers, occupied the pulpit Of Plymouth
Congregational church at Milwaukee,
Wis, last Sunday, and discoursed "The
ethical side of the newspaper busi-
ness, or the philosophy Of the press"
Mr.. CRASHES address was In reply to
one delivered by the regular pastor of
the church, Rev. Judson Ellsworth, on
What preacher thinks Of a newspa-
per-" The preacher thought the news
paper was Influenced too much by q
commercial spirit and believed the
time would come soon when the editor
would be guided by more altrustic
spirit, when the influence Of the paper,
already great, would be greater.
Mr.. Grassie quoted several passages
Of Scripture, coupling with them the
words know thyself." In learning to-
know himself, a man must learn TO-
know everything which in any way in
f1uences his life, and the speaker con-
tended, and said it was within the
province Of the newspaper to teach a
man to know himself by printing the
news, and everything that was truth
was news. Mr.. Grassie declared: 1T fs
the duty Of the newspaper to help the
average citizen to know himself, to in
terest him in what Is going on about
him, to give him just enough goodness
and just enough badness, just enough
religion and just enough atheism, just
enough spirituality and just enough pu-
gilism to keep him interested, and thus
to make him know himself and Incl
dentally to sell the paper"
