An Irish servant girl of recent i'm
portation was preparing the ice cream
tea and cakes for a Brooklyn evening
party, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser, when her employer remark
ed to her daughter jocularly, apropos
of the heat:
I'm afraid those mosquitoes will
come in tonight over the back fence
Going downstairs to the kitchen lat
err she was surprised to find several
gallons of tea more than she needed al
ready made.
you've made too much tea. Norah,
she said. II told you the big kettle
full would be quite enough"
Sure, that's so, ma'am," replied the
girl, but that was before you said
anything about the other gists."
What other guests?" inquired the
hostess in establishment.
why, the Mosquitoes, ma'am, you
said were comm over the back fnce.'

PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS.

Notwithstanding the abuse that has
been heaped upon him by leaders and
newspapers of his own party, Repre-
| sentative Babcock of Wisconsin stands
by the bill he introduced into the House
during the last Congress for the re-
| duction of the tariff on certain articles.
In a recent statement to a constituent
he said: After we have builded so
well, and many of these industries have
become giants such as the world has
never before known, shall we continue
a tariff on articles that yield no reve-
nue., need no protection, and that, in
fact, like the products of our farms,
are articles of export? How can such
policy be defended? If Congress main
tains a tariff on such articles the whole
theory of protection falls to the ground.
and it simply inures to the benefit of
those who may secure the control of
such commodity, since by its aid they
can fix eXorbitant prices in the domes-
tic market. l maintain that it is a
part of the policy Of. protection to pro-
tect consumers"
This idea of protecting consumers is
a new one to a protectionist, such as
Mr.. Babcock claims to be. In every
tariff discussion, however, which has
taken place in Congress during the last
twenty years the Democrats have
pointed out that consumers were be-
ing neglected by the protective system
insisted upon by the Republicans. For
instance, they pointed out time and
time again that all sorts Of agricultural
machinery and implements were being
sold at lower prices in foreign markets
than in the domestic markets. The
Democrats therefore always commended
that the consumers should be given
some consideration in framing a tariff
law. The Republicans would not con-
sent. Their plea was that the demands
of labor required such a tariff as they
proposed. All the while, however, their
effort was to benefit monopolies, not
labor.
And now they are calling Representa-
tive Babcock an apostate and are
threatening him with all sorts of pun
ishment for trying to get some relief
for consumers. He knows what he Is
about, however. He has heard the
mutterings in the West, and he has
made up his mind to heed them. He
realizes that consumers of the West,
in fact, of all parts of the country,
do not intend to be robbed by trusts
if there is any way to protect them
selves. They know that the trusts are
selling their products at prices which
are much lower in foreign markets
than they are in the domestic mar
kets. The steel trust, for instance, is
selling rails, billets and other steel
products at prices fully third less
in Europe than in this country, and
they are able to do this because our
protective tariff keeps similar products
of England out of our market.
Mr.. Babcock is right. The tariff ought
to be SO revised as to protect con-
sumers from the grasping greed of the
trusts. The power to force American
consumers to pay prices a third or half
greater for trust products than are
paid by foreign consumers ought to be
taken from the trusts

MRS. EDDY ATTACKED.

The enemies of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, the founder of Christian
Science, seem determined to talk. write
and lecture her into still greater prom
inence. They assert that her teachings
are erroneous, and that she is a char
latan, and they continually assail her
in the public prints and from the ros-
trum, as if they did not know that
the constant agitation of the matter
would direct attention to her and her
work, and win sympathy for both. II
Christian Science is a craze" as has
been alleged, the best way TO treat it
is to leave 1t alone; then 1t will die
finally of inanition. Only truth can sur
vive in the long run; error must per-
ish. But constant agitation will keep
even error alive for a long time.
one of the latest and most severe
assailants of Mrs. Eddy is a Boston
lawyer of the name of Peabody He de-
livered lecture in fremont Temple

in the course of which he not only de-
nounced the cult as fraud, and Mrs.
Eddy as humbug whose chief purpose
was money making, but asserted that
Christian Science was hardly more
than a reversion to the old Salem
witchcraft superstitions.
One point that he made, and which
win be new TO most readers, was that
in the matter of disease. Christian
Science claims to work both ways; that
is, that it can not only cure disease.

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.

Alabama has decided to follow
Louisiana on the suffrage question. Her
constitutional convention is convinced
that her white people want illiterate
negroes deprived of the ballot while
granting the elective franchise to il
literate whites. 1t has therefore adopt
ed what is known as the grandfather
clause. Is that clause in their consti-
tutions going to make trouble for those
states which have adopted it-Louisi-
ana, North Carolina and Alabama? 1t
certainly looks so. IL is doubtful If
the Republican party viii make a po-
litical issue out of it, for the reason
which we have stated a number of
times. namely, that that party will
stand a better chance for getting a
foothold in the Southern states without
the black vote than with it.
But the blacks are going to make
a fight against the grandfather clause.
They have already started a move~
ment to have 1t declared unconstitu-
tional. Some of the ablest of the
Louisiana lawyers have held it to be
unconstitutional, and the chances are
that the Supreme Court would have
to declare it to be, If the question were
squarely presented to it. If it should
be declared unconstitutional the states
having constitutions containing it
would have to abandon it or give up a
part of their representation in Con-
gress and the Electoral college. In AL
ALBANIA the grandfather clause was
adopted against the advice of some of
the ablest men in the state.

LOWERING TIE RECORD.

This is a record-lowering age. The
other day we announced that the
Transatlantic steamer Deutschland, in
her last trip from Europe to this coun-
try, had made the remarkable record
of sol knots a day, during the entire
voyage-that is, an average of COL
knots. A quarter of a century ago
thought to be unattainable. Now four
day and even three-day ships between
this country and Europe are talked of.
Friday the celebrated trotting horse
Cresceus, on the race course at Column
bus, o., made a new record for trot-
took many years to reach that record
a century or more. In 1906 it was
thought that Yankee was a wonder
when he made a mile in $50. Fifty
years later Flora Temple was the talk
of the trotting world when she made
a record of 2:191s. 1t was a quarter of
a century later when Maud S. trotted
mile in 2:0SA. and horsemen said
that her record would never be beat
en-. But it was beaten by AliX and
The Abbot. and now we have Cresceus,
wonder in horseflesh, who, it is be-
leved will trot a mile in 2 minutes in
the very near future.
II that record is made will we then
begin to talk of the minute and three
quarter horse. just as we are now talk
ing of the four-day ship? 1t is prob
able. The world will never be salts
fed to stand still. But the limit, when
will it be reached?

Reflections of a Bachelor.
From the New York Press.

There are mighty few people who
don't dip a kind word in gall before
they utter il.
A woman will forgive a man for
abusing her. but she will hate him with
undying hatred for not noticing her.
Warm weather doesn't bother the
woman very much who knows she has
a pair of pretty shoulders TO show
through an. open-work waist.
When a woman can't account for her
husbands ugly mood in any other way.
she decides his underwear is either too
heavy or too light.
If the average man gave as much at
tention to having his domestic affairs
in proper shape as he does to having
his pipes draw well marriage would be
quoted higher than Standard Oil,

In Hartford, Conn, there is a faith
healer of the name of Bartlett. He
had until within a few days a patient
of the name of Sherman. an old man
who came from somewhere up in Mrs.
Eddy's state, New Hampshire. and who
was firm believer in the faith cure.
Sherman visited Bartlett's office daily
for faith treatment. On Thursday the
old man Sherman had a hemorrhage
in Bartlett's office, and the healer
forgot all of his precepts and ran post
haste to get doctor. The patient,
however, was so far gone that he died
shortly.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Members of the Cuban Constitutional
Convention in preparing an electoral
bill have copied two American ideas,
which experience has shown to be I'M
desirable. One Is minority representa-
ton and the other is the plan of choos-
ing the President and Vice President
by means of an electoral college. Mi
norities are best represented under the
district system. Cumulative voting for
the purpose of bringing in one minority
representative in each district does not
at it's best improve upon the other ar
rangement. and at its worst II is easy
of abuse and in practice generally re-
suits in corrupt trades which cannot
fail to have an evil influence upon leg
islation. So far as the electoral college
is concerned, it is a useless and cum
bersome method at the best, and at the
worst ii may be employed to thwart
the popular will. In adopting these dis
credited Americanisms the Cubans were
i'll advised"
The Hartford (Conn.) Times Dem.)
says: THE failure of Mr.. Mckinley
to continue the work of removing the
civil service from politics and making
it business-lilSe and economical is we'll
known to all who follow the history
of the country. He has yielded to the
pressure of politicians, but he is not
by temperament or habit fitted to ad-
vance reform of this kind. His natu-
raj sympathy is with the old system
which provides for political friends and
let's others whistle for them"
The Galveston (Tex.) News (Dem.)
says: "And now the Democratic lead
ers of Indiana are talking as IL the
party in that state were going to do
just like Ohio Democrats did. If the
Virginia Democratic should do the
same thing it will then be admitted by
even the stout-hearted that if the party
has not been reorganized ii has Topped
in a marvellous manner"
The Washington Post 1nd) says:
