Acid Remarks Applying TO New En-
gland and the Tariff.
(From the Baltimore SUM

(From the Baltimore SUM
In respect to the tariff. we conclude
from Mr.. Elkns' recent speech in the
Senate that his republican brethren in
New England are of tho Jekyl-Hyde
school OF political economy. They yearn
to promote the welfare OF tho American
people with free raw materials at the
EXPENSE Of the South and West. But
whom II comes to manufactured products.
tho prosperity OF the nation can be Sc
cured IN the New England view; only
by imposing almost prohbitory duties
on the finished products Of the "pauper
labor" Of Europe. The heart hleeds with
every altruistic throb of that organ at
the mere hint that hides and coal should
be restored to the protected list. That
heart grows cold and stony when Il Is
proposed that tho output Of New Eng
gland factories should be sold to the
masses in this country NJ rates lower
than the profits assured by tho pinRlev
act plus substantial Increases provided
in tho Pa vne hill.

BURGLARS TOOLS.
Most Of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.


Every little while, said detective
recently, the police arrest a man with
a set Of burglars tools In his posses
sion, and one naturally wonders where
they all come from.
It is easy to buy gun of any de-
scription, and the most reputable per-
son would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked looking
knife ever made. But who would know
where to get Jimmy" or a device
for drilling into safe or any OF the
many tools used by the professional
burglar in the pursuit of his calling!
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
to the users, but such places are ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t may seem a little
strange to learn that most Of the tools
used in burglaries are made by me-
chanics who are looked upon as re-
spectacle men In the community.
When a burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made he goes to q mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per-
haps five times what it is actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about 1t. Many detectives can
recall cases of this kind that have
come TO light. .
One in particular occurred some
years ago when an escaped convict
named Williams went to a blacksmith
and got him to make lot of drills to
be used in safe cracking. He person
ally superintended the tempering of
the steel, but when the job was nearly
completed it leaked out, and Williams
was arrested. III this instance the
blacksmith knew nothing Of the use to
which the tools were to be put. Most
of the tools used by burglars are Sc
cured in the same way.-Philadelphia
Inquirer.
