DEAL ON STEEL TARIFFf

Philadelphia Report Says National
 Leaders Have Given Assurance.
 Philadelphia Special to New York
 Tn the business world today there was little talk that did not touch upon the revival of business. Merchants, manufacturers, bankers united In de- clarinE that the Republican victory GhroNghout the country had put an end to apprehension of unfRvorable com merclaI conditions. They all said that this result was all that was needed to restore confidence, the main support of credit. and to stimulate healthful en- terprise in every direction.
 A report was in circulation that the United States Steel Corporation had re- ceived assurances that whatever tariff revision there might be at the hands of the new Congress the iron and steel trade would not be affected by 1t. This assurance Is said to have come from thes Republican national leaders.
 The Pennsylvania and other princi- nal railways will take immediate meas- ures to meet the revival of general trafdc.~ In some factories notice of iTi- crease of wages were posted. pre-eIec- ton promises to employees being thus fulfilled. Agents of manufacturers in various parts ot the country wired that the demand for their goods had already taken on greatly increased proportions, and that the outlook was full of hope.

No Cauae to Despair.

New Orleans Picayune.
 Well. the election is ever. The Southern States have again. as 1t was known they would do, registered their solemn and unalterable protest against many things now existing and hurtful- progressing which are so strongly af- fecting us as a people, particularly the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few. and the coFrupting means employed to accomplish and maintain this. This was all these States could do. Having done this. 1t now behooves the people of these States more than ever before to look more closely after else of the intelligence which they cer- tainly possess avail themselves for their own we'll being and personal comfort. of all their natural advanta- Every Southern State possesses some thing of world wide, recognized value. While welcoming the advent of others of good citizenship. we should rely chiefly on ourselves. Our happiness and prosperity as a people occupying one section of the country h are no not de- de- pendent, however, upon our making the very best use ourselves of what we have. We cannot do this without edu- eating ourselves, and we cannot edu. cate ourselves unless We read good things, from good sources, and throughly digest what we read.
 In agrtCulLure We must ISdLH Wud of good there is in newly discovered methods, and unhesitattngly adopt them, not ignorantly and blindly set our faces against them. In manufac= lures we should get the very latest machinery and use this ourselves in the conversion of our varid raw mate rials into common sense, useful ar ticles, and by using ourselves the things we make let the world see that we at least esteem them of value. As our labor becomes more skilled we will improve and make them better. Let us by all means become more thrifty and put everything to some use. Save the pieces Waste nothing. Thrift ness and stinginess are not syhony- nous terms. But thrift and progress to wealth are. Above all 1t goes with- out saying that nothing effective along these lines can be accomplished unless the strictest law and order Is preserv- ed and the rights of every single in- diVidual respected. Those who have broken out in resistance to the oppres- sive operation of certain practicies ot law, have certainly had their griefs, but they must rest content with the assurance of the incoming Federal Ad- ministration that th ese great Vtolaters of the law will be vigorously prosecut- ed and made to suffer, and their un- lawful practices stopped.
 There is no occasion for any South ern man to despair. Let us be men true to ourselves. The future. which in a great measure is in our own hands can be made bright and full of hope The representatives of the majority Ills, or else as a people we suffer, and that without blame attaching to that section which Is mostly truly American in birth and true patronism.

LAND SLANG FROM SEA.
Nsutical Terms ImbedAed in PopuIar English Speech.

 English Speech.
 Dundee Advertiser.
 Talking of slang, has any made a list of the nautical slang imbedded in English popular spcech2 Most people who speak of person carrying on" would be surprised to learn that they arc using q nautical metaphor To carry on Is literally to carry a great deal of sail, generally too much for the weather conditions; that Is, to behave in more or less sensational and foolish manner. To say that one is taken aback" Is a metaphor from the management of square -rigged ship, which is taken back" when, through carelessness or i'll luck, the wind gets round to the wrong side of the sails --an awkward and perhaps dangerous accident.
 To give anything a 'fwide berth" is give thing-probably rock or other danger--a wide bed to lie in. We speak of sounding a person with re- ference to some proposal. The meta phor Is that of a navigator finding his way cautiously by trying the depths, say In approaching an unfamiliar shore Landmark" Is not at all a nautical looking word, but 1t is strictly a mark on land--a tower, building. or other prominent object which serves to guide the mariner clear of rocks and sh oaIs into port. More obviously nautical but probably equally vaguely under stood, are such ph rases as "safiing close to the wind" Took out for squalls" keep ones weather eye open" "take the wind out of one's sails" @see whether the coast Is clear" To sail close to the wind is to keep direct- ly on ones course when tacknE is al- most necessary, and so run a risk of being taken aback. r- To keep ones weather eye open is to keep sharp lookout on the weather side of the ship tthat Is. to windwArd. where the weather comes from) for the signs which mark the apnnoach of squalls To take the wind Gut of an- other boasts sails is .taNpverhaul her (presumbly in racinRT and pass to windward thus cattlng off her wind for the time beAg To see whether the coast Is clearfis to find out whether 1t Is free from outlying dangers. such as rocks and shoals, or from enemies in naval war or smuggling
 Finally, we have one on two ship building metaphors. We speak of having piece, of work Ion the stocks" stocks being the frame of timbers which supports ship while she Is building. If she Is wen built of the best materials, she is "AI"--the high est grade in .Lloyd's classification.

 The truth is that wealth is compare tive. The woman who turned up her aristocratic nose at an income of $500 a week would perhaps. spend two or three times that sum If she had it. and not be any better of in any respect. any more contented or any more re- spectable in point of fact than her humber sister whose income is forty or fifty times less. So. many a man whose income is not even as much as $500 year is honest. contented and in all respects as good in the sight of God. and of right-thinking men. as is the possessor of ten or fifty times this professors limit. It occurs to us that he would do better If he would confine himself to something he knows more about.

ness world. but in the United States railway mail service 1t Is & conspicu- : ous fact. Men of whom unusual relia- biIity and intelligence are demanded. whose labor. Ia wearing or mind and body. and whose pay supplies no more than the needs of an average family, these men are required by the govern fnent to pay for the food they eat in the discharge of government business.
 They are the only federal employees who are not allowed an expense ac- count when absent from home on duty. They are subject not only to hardship. but to discrimination. Surely the en- tire public must share the wish that at its next session congress will rem edy this injustice. Last year a bill providing for an appropriation of s2,- 900. 900 annually to cover this need was presented in the House and in the Sen- ate, but it died before the committees But the bill will rise again. and every Representative of the people would vote for It. The efficiency of modsTn business methods is due largely to the railway mall clerk. Every letter we receive Is evidence of his faithfnlness. He deserves at least a reasonable re- ward for his task.

WHY AMERICANS CAN'T REST.


 Masters of Many Arts, They Strike English Visitors an NovIces.
 Metropolitan Magazine.
 The Americans. masters of many arts, strike the visitors from our damp and fogRy. land as being novices in the art of resting. It is not that they have no pleasures and recreations. They have these in abundance. It is that they are not leisureIy.
 If evidence were needed, would merely point to their eyes. The eye IS not only the light of the body; 1t Is the betrayer of the nature and char acteristics. And the eye of the typi- cal American is not restful, except per haps after a heavy meal. It is tense
 It seems strange to me that with all the education which is given in this country to fit people for activity, there Ifs no training to fit people for rest While children are taught more and more to use their eyes in observation and reading. they are never taught at all to, rest their eyes, and so rest their minds as we'll.
 Possibly many will not understand what this means. comparison will make the fact clearer. 4 nervous and highly strung person tends to cIench his hands and to grip. A leisurely and easy person does not--he has his hands IeIdAeUss ComLoftdDleJ ana unLenSeQ. So 1t is with the eyes. A nervous and highly strung person is likely to cIench his eyes, as it.were, and not let them be untensed. If an artist wants to denote anxiety, he makes the face and eyes in the picture drowning and strained.
 very simple exercise, first brought to my notice by the wife of a leading English politician. is, to look at a dis tance, or to close the eyes and inag- inc some scenery for away and blurred. If one tries this, one may be conscious of positive relaxing of the niuscles of the eye, It feels almost as If the eye were an anemoRe, left dry upon a rock compressed and hard. and then expand ed and softened by the sea water that rises and covers it. We can "sense" our eye opening out similarly. And the mental relief of this physical act is wonderful.
