IT IS RESTLESS.

l The Chicago Tribune is a good Republi-
 can paper but 1t has always worn the Dingley tariff yoke with i'll grace. Es- pecially does 1t kick when the trusts,
 which owe their existence to the present
 iniquitous tariff. use their powers to work
 harm to Chicago. In a recent issue we find this example:
 There are men in Chicago and other cit.es who would build skyscrapers if the United States Steel Corporation would let them have structural steel at reasona ble rates. There are railroads which would not have cancelled their orders for rails
 if they were not asked $27 ton for what Ii costs only $14 ton to make. They in- tend to wait for lower prices, since they do not have urgent need of the rails. The workmen who would have been employ ed ! making the rails and structural steel
 which are not bought because they cost I too much will have to go without work. | So will the men who would have handled the materials if they had been made and sold.
 | The Tribune is putting it quite mildly
 when 1t declares that such a policy is ''an
 irritating one." Ifait had gone consider
 ably further and declared that the policy
 is one of extortion and robbery 1t would
 have come nearer the mark, for that is
 just what 1t is. And the paper also
 strikes a responsive chord when it fur ther adds:
 l When protective tariffs give a manufac- I turer a monopoly of the home market, | whose value is greater to him than that of all the foreign markets put together, business considerations as well as a de- cent regard for legislative favors extend l ed should induce him to cultivate the home market and furnish it goods at the l lowest prices he consistently can-prices
 which are no higher than those demand
 ed of foreigners.
 l The Tribune should go the whole hog
 and take a decided position in favor of
 revising a tarif which makes such rob- | bery possible. It doesn't belong to the
 guild of "stand-patters'' but for party s
 sake 1t hides its real sentiments and
 drifts along with its party. It is a news
 paper of power and influence in the
 Northwest and if it would boldly and un- equivocally join in the demand for a just and fair tariff law it would be doing some real good.

As a direct and natural result of the pernicious meddling of the walking dele gate we find this in a late issue of The New York Sun, which states that its in- formation was received from architects and contractors:
 The amount of capital intended for building operation in this city, which 1t is known will be withdrawn, Is estimated at between $5O,Oo0O00 and $60. .OOO. .OOO.
 The reason why this immense sum is to be withheld and which is bound to throw thousands of working men out of employ ment just when their need is greatest. is because the frequency of strikes and lockouts discourage capitalists and prop erty owners from building or improving. As The Raleigh (N. O. Post we'll says:
 It is lamentable winter prospect ahead for the thousands upon thousands of large cities. and every large city has the same condition or Is threatened with the same condition of affairs. The strikes and the closing down of industries be- cause of them, and in some instances over-production, are the only signs of i'll omen now upon the business horizon of this great country. All these thousands of people thus to be kept from working by these walking delegates are consum- CTS, not only of the food stun products but the clothes made from the cotton of the farmers, and their lack of ability to consume threatens a very serious effect upon the prices of these products.

English speaking people:
If you kill frogs your cows will "go
dry"
Tickling baby will cause the child
to stutter.
To thank a person for combing your

To dream of unbroken eggs signifies
trouble to come; if the eggs are broken
the trouble is past.
If you boast Of your good health
strike wood Immediately with your fist

To dream of live snake means

enemies dead or powerless.
To allow a child to look into q mir

Not a Clear Title.

The word "furlough" occurred in
reading lesson of primary grade in
one of the public schools, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The teacher
asked if any boy or girl knew the
meaning of the word.
One small hand was raised and
shaken vigorously in the eagerness Of
the urcbin to display his knowledge.
When be received permission to speak
he rose and with the greatest assur-
arce said:
"F'ullolgh means mule"
Not whit disturbed at the teach
er's "Ob, no, it doesn't," the small
boy confidently answered:
II have the book at home that
says so." Then the teacher told him
be might bring the book to school
and show it to her.
The next morning he came armed
with the book, and triumphantly
showed her the picture of an Ameri'
can soldier astride a mule, under
which was printed, "Going home on
his furlough."

FASHION IN SPEECA.

Some Words Go Out Of Favor and
Win Their Way Back.
The history of the race is written in
the words it uses. AS we grow aid
change, so our language grows and
changes. Mr.. Leon Mead in his book
WORD Coinage" points out that some
words go out of fashion and come
back. like tan shens end wide trimmed
hats, although tie cl,"n:,e in words is
much slower = :, =" lanGe in dress.
In Spensei :, t,t.- "ioraslail," "fain.'
"scathes," "cshanc~." ''rnbellish" and
dapper' were Eot considered coed, but
they have since gained respectability
and won their place in the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as
obsolete a number Of Chaucers words
-"transcend," bland" sphere"
4sblithe,' franchise" carve "an-
them One by one these words, came
to life again and walk the pages of our
literature in full vitality. Other words
now indispensable which the seven
teenth century rejected are 'plumage,"
tapestry tissue ledge" ''tren-
chant resource" ''villainy," thrill"
syelp," "dovetail.'
Bacon did not have the good word
"encyclopedia,' but used the heavy
equivalent, "circle learning"
Fulke, the sixteenth century author
who wrote "a Defense of the Sincere
and True TRANSACTIONS CT the Holie
Scriptures Into the English Tong" did
not admit ''neophyte," homicide"
scandal" destruction" "tunic." "des-
picable," rational" Another book
published in 1858 puts the stamp of
censure on "oblique," radiant "adop-
tion," '.caress," ':amphibious,' "Eori-
sontal,'' "concede," "articulate," "desti-
nation" compensate "complicated"
and s.adventitious."
1t is hard to trace the history of
fashion in words. Seldom Go we have
the precise record that Chesterfield fur
nishes us in letter in which he says
that he was present at the birth of the
word Irritation" on the lips Of beau
tiful woman. Even with that record
we cannot tell why Irritation remain
ed in the language and was not drop

HIS SECOND THOUGHT.
The Stage Driver Acted on 1t md
Saved Nis Passengers.


Saved Nis Passengers.
Back in the gcod old days when
nerves and railroads were little known
an old stage read ran from Lake
Champlain to OgdeCsburg, y. T., pass
ing through tie little town Of Sodonl.
This village nestled In valley be-
tween two great hills, over which the
white ribbon of the road wound steep
ly.
Upon cne of the trips of the stage the
regular driver, who had been at home
for some weeks recovering from an i'll
ness, was riding inside, while the red
haired mild featured, big boned Irish
man acting as his substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was beautiful one, and the passen-
gers were enjoying their drive keenly,
their appetites increasing as the dis
tance lessened between them and the
town Of Sodom, with its promised
pause for refreshment.
Suddenly as tie heavy stage lum-
bered over the brow Of the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp an
gle, running through the little town at
its foot and ascending the hill beyond,
the passengers became conscious that
their pace had been recklessly in
creased. Faster and faster they went,
dashing down the hill at rate rapidly
becoming a furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but a di2zying
blur along the road. All clung to the
reetng stage and held their breath in
terror, while on the stage raced, down
the hill with ever increasing speed, into
the town, past the hcstelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze at
the door, past the post Office without
pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face Of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the
incline grew more steep at last the
smoking horses came to a standstill.
With one accord the dazed passengers
tum5led out and surrounded the driver,
who now stood at the head Of his
reeking leaders.
what is 1t. Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from you?" came the
breathless questions.
Nope" replied Pat with set face.
"It wor that" pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stage tongue drag
ging usclessly on the ground at the
heels of the horses and completely sew
cred from the coach. At a glance the
regular driver comprehended the mean
ing Of the danger to which the passen-
gers Of that stage, deprived Of its sole
means of guidance, had been exposed,
and, realizing the miracle Of their es-
cape, he turned sick and tainted where
he stood.
Later, back at the inn. when the ex-
element had somewhat subsided and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
paired coach, some one turned to Pat
and asked:
"Pat, what was your first thought
when the pole dropped"'
"Well, sor," he answered, settling the
quid more comfortably in his cheek,
tine furst thought wor, Lord ha' mer-
cy on our sowls! Thin thinks I to

outrun. wagonv and licked the poor
bastes all the way down the hill!"-

John,on,s FIRST Tailoring job.

President Andrew johnson had never
been ashamed Of his humble origin;
had. indeed, often narrated the un-
happy story OF his first job at tailoring.
He had been summoned, he would
say, to the residence Of an influential
citizen and had been hidden to make
over one of the citizens old coats for
the son Of the house.
Johnson, little nervous through ex-
cess of zeal. took off his coat, turned
back his sleeves. measured the youth
and set to work. He was getting along
weil-the JOB. indeed. was nearly fin
ished-when dinner time came and he
reached out for his coat in order to
put it on and so home.
To his chagrin he discovered then
that it was his own coat which he had
cut up for the boy.
