to the north Queen Margherita had
appeared to her intimates to be
strangely excited and uneasy.
1t Is pretty accurately known that
the wedding took place outside the
Italian domain and while the queen
was on her way to Copenhagen. So
that King Charles entertained royal
bride mawares when he welcomed
Queen Margherita.
1t had been known that the Dowa-
ger Queen was mystic and democratic,
but no one supposed that she would
develop romanticism in her middle
age. A daughter of the royal house
OF Savoy and the widow of king, it
was at least supposed that If the
mother queen married again she
would select a partner from among
the princely families of Europe. But
no one conceived the possibility of
the mature widow marrying a pie
beian.
The fact of the marriage is denied
at Rome. The report was originally
telegraphed from Bologna. In spite
of denials, the fullest credence is
given the story.

ers."
So grave menace to her industrial
welfare is not long to be endured by
Canada. Her tariff will go up, not
down. She will not commit industrial
suicide by opening still wider her
gates 10 the invasion of the American
surplus. The Mail says:
Our neighbors have an enormous
manufacturing capacity and greatly
shrunken home demand. Congestion
is resulting. To relieve the pressure
of accommodating stocks upon prices,
they can afford to dump enough on
this market to smash many of our in
dustries and turn tens of thousands
of our people out of employment. The
danger is urgent. II we are to keep
back the tidal wave of depression
that threatens us from the United
States we must have our tariff wall
raised. We should have had it raised
long ago had there been men of bust
ness in the place of the squanderers
who are HOW in charge of the countrys
affairs
In strong confirmation Of this state
ment of Canada's growing aversion to
any and all schemes of reciprocity in
manufactured products, the Ottawa
correspondent of the Toronto Globe,
the recognized mouthpiece of the Can
auian government, writes to that pa
per Nov. is as follows:
Reciprocity with Canada appears
to be live topic in the United States
at present, but here nobody is wasting
any sleep over the matter. Senator
Fairbanks has not, as far as can be
learned, communicated with tho prime
minister since last spring, when he
was told that the resumption of the
Joint High Commission could not be
considered until after the close of
Parliament.
If negotiations looking toward reci-
procity are to be opened it will have
TO be on the initiative of the United
States. when any proposition which
our neighbors to the south may make
will receive fair and honest considera-
ton. 1t is well, however, for them to
understand that Canada can get along
without any favors from the United
States"
Herein, we think, the Canadian at.
titude is accurately expressed. Can
ada IS not going to wreck her indus
trial future by inviting reciprocity in
manufactured products. That much
seems to be settled. 1t is well that
reciprocity promoters on this side of
the boundary should know the facts
and understand the conditions.

\@NEWS IN NEBRASKA ~
EXPECTING MANY TEACHERS.
Attendance at State Association May
Be a Record Breaker.

Be a Record Breaker.
LINCOLN--he teachers of the state
are becoming more interested in the
coming meeting of the State Teachers
association as the time draws near
and from the reports received the at
tendance will be larger than ever In
the history of the association, the at
tendance probably reaching 1000. Inc
reports show that all the teachers in
many of the towns will be present and
in some of them many more Will en-
roll than are now teachers, rms
will be true of Beatrice, where tho
reports say the enthusiasm has reach
ed a stage that will leave not
a single teacher in the city during
the association meeting. Hastings
also reports that a delegation Will
come from there fully as large as sent
last year. From Neigh, valentine,
Chadron, Seward, Omaha, Falls City,
Humboldt, Pawnee City and Wahoo
some reports of the largest enroll
ment in the history of those cities
Other places are expected to report
soon, and it is believed that an in
creased number will be reported all
along the line.
And in the meantime the teachers
will have no cause to regret coming
to Lincoln. Never before has such an
array of talent been secured for their
enlightenment and entertainment. The
evening lectures Of Frank Robertson,
Rev. Father Nugent and former Chan
cellor Garfield will more than repay
any who attend. Chancellor Canfield
will arrive in Lincoln Thursday after
noon, December 81, and will go at once
to the dinner given in his honor by
the class of '95 Friday forenoon lie
speaks before the general session and
in the afternoon a general reception
will be rendered him by the Lincoln
city teachers and the faculty of the
university. In the evening he lee
lures before the association at st.
Paul's church. The reception to
Chancellor Garfield on Friday after.
noon will be made rally for all alum
nj of the university who wish to meet
him and who can reach Lincoln at
that time. 1t is expected that fully
500 alumni will attend.
All teachers of Latin are greatly in
terested in the association this year,
as they have secured DR.. w. G. Hale
of the University of Chicago as their
special guest. DR.. Hale is without
doubt one of the greatest authorities
on Latin syntax in this country and
his coming will be a great inspiration
to all teachers of Latin.

ARTISANS AND THE TARIFF.
Why Wase-Esrners Should Support =
Protective Policy.

OF all people, those who depend on
their hendicraft for a livelihood
should be the most loyal supporters of
the policy of protection. This has al
ways been the contention of protec-
ton leaders in the United States,
though the success of this policy has
been due to the support given 1t by
the American farmers and business
men. Now that tariff campaign is
on in England this phase of the ques-
ton is not being forgotten.
The London Daily Telegraph OF Au.
gust 4, 1903, gave an illustration OF
the effect of free trade on labor that
should receive the careful attention OF
all American artisans, that they may
more fully realize some of the benefits
accruing to them from the operation
of the American policy. Under the
free trade policy of Great Britain
there was a decrease in twelve years
of over 100000 in the value of man.

ish labor) exported from the United
Kingdom. Following are the figures:

In the same years there was an in

Had the British laboring man been
protected by an adequate tariff on the

that at least one.half Of the increase
in the value of the imports would have

before the supreme court. He killed
Elmer Thayer on ranch near the
boundary between Arthur and Nc
Pherson counties several years ago
The two We're consolidated soon after
the murder under the name of Nc

1T is NOT TRUE.
American Farmers Are Not Reconciled
to the Cuban Reciprocity Scheme

to the Cuban Reciprocity Scheme.
Even the selfish interests that have
opposed it heretofore have become
convinced that no harm will come to
them because of it's provisions.-New
York Commercial Advertiser"
This would be pleasant news If only
it were true. But it is not Not a
single interest that has at any time op-
posed the Cuban treaty-excepting, Of
course, the beet sugar factories that
have been bought up by Havemeyer
has become convinced that no harm
will come to them because of it's pro-
visions. On the contrary, they con-
tinue to assert that great harm will
come to them and to protest against
the wrong and the injustice of the
proposition To assert that mot an
American interest is sacrificed" that
1T will do harm to no industry" is to
assert an opinion that may be hon
estly entertained, even though based
upon a total misconception of fact.
But to state, as the Commercial Adj
vertiser does, that all interests hereto
fore hostile to the Cuban treaty are
reconciled to its adoption is to state
palpable untruth.

Two Conspicuous EXAMPLES.

It is amusing to know that England
is about to discard her policy of free
trade TO save herself from absolute
humiliation in the industrial world.
1t brings the tariff question squarely
down to the proposition laid down in
the Republican platforms in the past
it Is better to protect home indus
tries, by means of tariff on imports,
and keep mills and factories busy
than to maintain free trade and have
industrial stagnation.
Every period of Democratic low tar.
if in American history has been a
period of hard times. Every period
of high protection has seen a great
industrial prosperity. In the last six
years, while the United States under a
protective tariff has been enjoying un.
told prosperity, England under free
trade has been struggling with indus
trial paralysis, and will try the tariff
as cure.
Free trade and free silver are the
two conspicuous examples of wrong
guesses on the part of the Democratic
party.-Ottawa GKan.) Herald.

ENGLAND AMAZES RED MAN.
Returning Indian Tells of Ignorance
Existing Abroad.


An Indian stopped in Philadelphia
on his way to Omaha. He had been to
London, participating in a wild west
melodrama there, and it was amusing
to hear him describe the ignorance re-
garding his race that exists abroad
AN Englishman," he said, thinks
that red man can run from 200 to
225 miles a day without effort. He
thinks an Apache can overtake a deer.
In fact | read in London a short story
describing how, in ffteen-mile run,
an Apache caught a deer, choked it to
death, and ate its heart raw.
The English believe that an Indian
is so generous he would give away the
clothes on his back. | was accosted
by hosts of beggars in London, and
they couldn't understand why | didn't
hand out half-crOwn to each of them.
They also think an Indian will endure
the severest pain without flinching,
out of pride. A young English girl
stuck a pin in my leg at a restaurant
one night, and was surprised when |
said Ouch and swore."

NO DISPOSITION TO SERVE AS A
DUMPING GROUND.
Invasion Of Cut Price Commodities

to the Dominion Some Of the Prac.
tcal Disadvantages Of Reciprocity.

1t rs bes. TO look the situation
squarely in the face and to know the
truth regarding the prospect of nego-
tiating a reciprocity dicker with Can
ada. AS matter of fact, there Is no
prospect whatever of arranging a deal
whereby the manufacturers of the
United States shall obtain larger priv
ileges in the Canadian market. Even
if 1t were possible to bring about
reciprocity in natural products; even
supposing that the Republican party
should be foolhardy enough to still
further arouse the resentment of
American farmers by opening up free
trade in farm products, there is no rea-
son to suppose that American manu-
facturers would be permitted to mon
opolize the Canadian market. Every
day 1T becomes more and more appar-
ent that Canada will never consent to
become the dumping ground for
American surplus production. At this
moment Canada's iron industry is suf-
fcring sorely from the invasion of
cut-price stuff from this side of the
border. American brands OF iron are
being offered at 81 per ton below the
lowest price Canadian iron can be
laid down at The Toronto Mail of

in favor of his old destitute soldiers.
This sum was intrusted to Pope Plus

the surviving soldiers of Duke Francis
brought a suit against the Pope for the
payment of the legacy. The Pope,
however, only disbursed few francs
to some utterly needy families, and
the suit remained still undecided. Now

intrusted to Plus TX, and, in view of
the mutual position of Italy and the

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 1s.-In her Of
fetal trial over the Cape Ann course
today, the new cruiser Des Moines ex-
ceeded her contract requirement of 1876
knots an hour in speed, making an
average of 1888 knots per hour. 1t is
thought that the tidal correction will
not materially change these figures.
Next to speed. the noticeable feature
of the trial was the remarkable steadi-
ness of the ship.
1t was on the run back that the Des
Moines showed her true worth. One by
one the number of the revolutions of
her engines were increased until on the
second leg they reached 191 per minute.
The machinery worked in fine form and
a speed of 1917 was attained on the
return.
The Des Moines is one of the group
of six vessels designed for commerce
protectors, with light draught and a
large coal capacity. She was built by

pany and was launched at Quincy In

the Great Thinker

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-Today was the
centenary of the death of Johann Gott-
fried Herder and literary, scientific and
university circles marked the anniver-
sary by holding interesting exercises in
memory of the great German philoso-
pher. In Berlin the celebration was
held under the auspices of the society
for the history of the German litera-
ture, and at Weimar, where Herder re-
sided for many years the commemora-
tive exercises were held under the di-
rection of the Goethe society.
Herder's poetry won for him the
highest admiration from Goethe and
other leading lights of his day, but at
the same time his fame rests more on
his critical writings than on his verses.
Born in East Prussia, in 1744, Herder
studied philosophy at Konigsbery under
Kant for whom re conceived an en-
thusiastic admiration, although subse-
ouently he became one of his most res
olute opponents. In 1854 he was ap-
pointed assistant professor and teacher
at the Cathedral School of Riga, where
his sermons were greatly admired. Here
he published his first works, "Frag-
ments on the Recent German Litera-
ture," and Critical Forests" which
contain the germs of all that is essen
tial peculiar and characteristic in his
thinking In ITS, on the recommends
tion of Goethe. he was invited to Wei
