New Hampshire as a Tariff Breaker

Artemus Wards willingness 10 sac- ridce his wife's relations on the altar of his country was not more pathetic ally generous than New Hampshire's s readiness to revise downward the tar if on wheat. Senator Gallinger, a priest of the stand pat hierarchy, was in nowise abashed in presenting a pe- tition to this effect from the wheat consumers of his state. Like the Irish landlord who warned his irate ten- ants that the murder of his agent could not intimidate him, Senator Gal finger could say: If you think to scare me out of high tariffs for New Hampshire products by slashing Ne- braska wheat you are much mistak- en-" As for Nebraska and the other wheat states, they welcome the issue. The wheat traiff has never held up the price of wheat yet till after noth- ing was left but the flag end of a crop, and that mostly in the speculat- ors' hands. If New Hampshire thinks otherwise 1t is fortunate. It may open the way to trade free wheat for low CT tariffs and lower prices on the pa per. lumber. leather cotton and wool en goods that New Hampshire has to sell us.

AROUSED rHE CONSTABLE.
Night Prowers at Gales Ferry and
 Two Bags of Coal Gone.

Suspicious sounds at o'clock on Wednesday morning disturbed the sweet sleep of Constable Norman Brown at Gales Ferry. He rose up in bed and listened. Then he listened more and finally heard heavy footsteps in the rear of the postoffice next door. Hurrying out of his bed and into his clothes he grabbed a revolver and fearlessly started on a tour of inves- tigation.
 Slipping noiselessly into the yard he dimly saw the burly forms of a pair of strangers sneaking through the premises and started toward them The providers dashed away in the di- rection of the river.
 It is thought they came and went in a boat, as do the majority of gangs who plunder houses and places of business along the Thames. All the property the constable missed was two bags of coal piled with others on the wharf.
