WANTS MORE BIRTHS.
French Parliamentary COmmission
to Devise Means to Increase
the Population.

Anxiety over the depopu]ation of
France resulted in an interesting de-
bate in the French senate the other
day when Waldeck-Rousseau, the pre-
mier, accepted, in the name of the gov
eminent, proposal for the nomina-
ton of an extra parliamentary COM
mission to seek means of increasing
the birth rate and diminishing NOR
tally. The proposal was counter
signed by 1873 senator's. Senator Ber-
nard, in proposing the inquiry, COM
pared the peopling of France with that
of other nations throughout the nine
teenth century. At the beginning of
that century France had $4,000, 900 in
habitants, Germany 100000 inhab-
itants and England $4,000, 900 inhabit-
ants. Now France has $4,000, 900 inhab-
itants, Germany 100000 inhabitants
and England 41,0OO,O0O.
He combated the theory that in pop
ulation quality is better than quantity.
His remedies were the adoption of ifs
cal measures in favor of large fam
lilies, and, above all, of legislation to
check the terrible mortality among in
fants. In the latter regard another
speaker declared that it was we'll
known that the baby farming system
in France resulted in the death of
about 80 per cent. of the infants so
reared

GETS HIS REVENGE.
Tilted Lover Nails Limburger 70
Pest Once Where Girl Works.
1nell Drives Her Out and Post o0ss
Inspector Runs the Plot t. Earth
to the Chagrin and Woe Of
the COnsDlFat0F.

1.-THE romance of = general delivery
window, or the revenge of Tilted
mail CARRIER" is the title under which
case recently under Investigation by
post Office inspectors has become
known throughout the department.
A letter carrier in an Ohio post office
was engaged to young woman
whose aspirations ran in the direction
Of government office. The letter
carrier had an aged mother to sup
port, and it was his intention to save
a sufficient sum of money to enable
him to marry and keep those depend
ent upon him in comfort as we'll.
Yielding to the persuasions of his
lady love he went to the postmaster
and recommended the young woman
for clerkship. In due course of
time the girl was appointed to a place
at the general. delivery window. She
was not in the place very long before
she conceived an exaggerated idea of
her own Importance, and after .
month or so she gave the mitten
to the carrier. He took his dismissal
with very bad grace and wanted to
get even. A month elapsed. One day
the girl appeared in the Office Of the
postmaster.
81 can't work in that Office" she
said, tearfully. 'It's dreadful. There
is such a terrific-er-smell some
where"
The postmaster, impressed by the
manner of the fair clerk, accom-
panied her to the little boxlike gen.
eral delivery Office.
"W-h-e-w," he said, with a long
drawn breath. "How long has this
been around here?"
"It's been getting worse for the
last week. responded the clerk. II
didn't want to say anything about it
at first, but I'll have to go home if it
isn't taken away"
''Something must be dead under the
Aoor," said the postmaster, after due
del;bera ton, and he ordered the
boards removed and the space be-
meath searched. While the laborers
were removing the case of pigeon
knocked over and the contents scat
tered all over the floor.
"What are all these funny-looking
little boxes?" asked the postmas ter,
who was directing the work.
When the boxes were examined
they were found to be 26 in number
and addressed to fictitious names
and each containing little square Of
limburger cheese. Inspectors ran to
earth as the sender of the boxes the
letter carrier who had been Tilted by
the general delivery girl. He frankly
confessed to the intention of making
his one-time fancee desert her post
and lose favor with the chief, be-
sides subjecting her to worry and an
noyance.

Emperor's Gift to Harvard

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon-

says that as token of interest in the
Germanic museum at Harvard univer-
slty, Emperor William is having pre-
pared for presentation to Harvard a
unique collection of plaster casts. The
casts will duplicate some of the finest
German medieval stonework, such as
the tracery in the choir of the Halber-
etadt cathedral.

Free-Trade Agitation.

TARIFF REFORM IT SEEKS TO
UNDERMINE PROTECTION.

While the Democratic camp is
in too much confusion to adopt a
definite programme of action in
the coming campaign there are
abundant evidences that certain
influential elements in the party
are striving to revive a Free Trade
agitation aud force Democracy to
take it up and make it the domi-
nant political question of the time.
The very confusion in the party
councils helps the Free Trade eli
que, for as there is no harmony on
any issue no leader who re-
presents a vital policy the Free
Traders make stronger showing
than any other faction and are
thus more likely than any other to
the situation.
The country is, therefore, in

other prolonged controversy over
the Tariff, with all the consequent
uncertainty that results to indus
try and trade when the fiscal sys-
tenn of the Government is made
the subject of political strife and
partisan contention. Only a few
years have passed since the coun-
try underwent that kind of agita-
ton, and no one who has an intel
ligent conception of the founda-
tions of American prosperity can
look forward to a renewal of it
without anxiety for the future as
we'll as a dread recollection of the
calamities brought by a tariff tin
kering experiment of the past.
The menace is the greater be-
cause outside the Democratic
ranks there is a formidable force
of Free-Traders who will co-ope-
rate in the agitation. The Free
Trade League is busily at work
urging the issue upon the public
mind. The case is not always
presented as direct demand for
ee-Trade. Sometimes it is call
ed Tariff reform and sometimes it
is called reciprocity. Any move
ment that tends to unsettle the
Tariff or weaken the Protective
system is advocated by the league
and bystbose who hope to make
Free Trade the dominant issue in
politics. 1t unfortunately hap
pens, moreover, that a clique in
the Republican party itself has of
late shown Willingness to sup.
port reciprocity treaties that
would impair the universally OF
Protection to home Industries
while others have declared a read
iness to reduce duties here and
there for the sake of benefitine
their particular communities with.
out regard to the welfare of the
rest of the country.
Such being the case, it Behooves
genuine Protectionists to reaffirm
their allegiance to Protection as a
principle in distinction from Pro
lection as a matter of local anC
Temporary expediency. If we are
to have Protection at all it mnsl
be applied to the industries of thu
whole country. Experience hal
