The leadership described by Blaine
could only see in Bills, nominally for
the Protection of American Industry,
the reality of Bills for the Domination
of American Selfshness. The plain eff
feet was under forms of law but b.
abuse of power, to put social selfishness
at premium; by the creation of a
right to wage civil war under the forms
of peace. For what did the colonists
go to war? For the right of free taxa
ton. Our highest federal tribunal; the
High Priest of federal conscience brands
thisinjustice, as applied to single city.
The injustice grows colossal when CO.
extensive with continent.
Yet in the intellectual battle. the
South was victor. The measure of 1928
had indeed been aggravated by that of
1882. But in that decade love of Union
was still strong enough to repel by the
force of reason unjust invasion. Al
though keenly conscious of the injustice
perpetrated by the few upon the many
the South did not deem this justified q
counter injustice; did not jump to the
conclusion that two wrongs make
right, but corrected the evil of the past
by the historic sliding scale into the
future. Under this settlement the in
furious oppression was brought to an
end in seven years. The Walker tariff
of 1886, argued so ably. that in 1857,
committees composed chiefly of North
ern men stiIl further reduced the tariff.

On the Evidence.

Murray F. Tuley, who gave twenty
five years of continuous service as
Judge of the circuit court in Chicago,
was noted for the strict impartiality
with which he rendered decisions, even
when his personal bias was strongly
the other way. On one occasion, hav-
ing heard a certain famous suit, he
found himself impelled to hand down
a decision repugnant to his own incli-
nation.
"Do you mean you think the defend
lnt was not at heart a swindlerY de-
manded an intimate friend, who dared
complain of the finding.
Billy" said Judge Tuley solemnly,
81 took that evidence to Arkansas with
me and studied it two weeks. Then
brought 1t home and spent ten days
more on it. Then l said in my deci-
sion:
$50 far as the evidence shows the
defendant is an upright and honorable
Christian gentleman

repeated the jurist slowly and with
emphasis. Then he leaned forward in
his chair, placed a hand on the others
knee and exclaimed. with an air of
vindication:

A Daring Ride.

During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed to get through. The gen,
eral said that the effort was useless.
1.-THE others have failed" the officer
insisted, because they travelled on
horseback. | shall go under my horse"
The general was astonished, but the
officers offer was finally accepted. He
started off in the middle of the night.
strapped face downwards under his
horse. which he guided by means Of
the bride through the forelegs. The
japanese whistled to what they thought
was a riderless horse. But the animal,
egged on by blows from the officer $
heels. accomplished the journey of
thirty-five miles in safety.
Stranger still, the officer accomplish
ed the return journey on the following
night.

"NeMspaper Day. In ENGLAND.

March II ought to be named news,
paper day." for on it, in the year 1902,
was published the first daily paper. 1t
was produced by E. Mallet against
the ditch at Fleet bridget. e., on or
near the site of the present Printing
House square. OF a single page, two
columns, the Daily Courant professed
to give foreign news only without edi-
torial comments, the chief of staff
''supposing other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves" This original sheet soon pass
ed into the hands of Samuel Buckley,
"at the sign of the Dolphin in Little
Britain" the worthy printer of the
Spectator and one well affected" to
the house of Hanover. The Courant
was in 1875 absorbed in the Daily Ca
zette.-London Chronicle.

Foundation of Japan.

Every Feb. II is celebrated in Japan
the great annual festival Of Kigenset-
SUI, the anniversary of the foundation
of the empire by the first emperor, jim
mu Tenno, b. C. geo. The japanese
reckon their present era as from this
date, and it was on Feb. IL, 1889, that
Mutsuhito, the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-first of the dynasty, promulgated
the present constitution of the empire
of Japan, the fundamental principle of
which is clearly stated in its first ar
ticle, "The empire of Japan shall be
reigned over and governed by line of
emperors unbroken from ages eternal
The organization of a parliament took
place in 1890, which in the japanese
reckoning would be 900 from Jimmu' 5
setting up his capital at Kashiwara, in
the province of YamatO, which is re-
garded by japanese historians as the
beginning of the empire.

Mattresses For Plate Glass.

The mattresses whereOn we sleep
are by no means the only ones. There
Is, for instance, the mattress that is
placed in wagons for the conveyance
Of plate glass in safety. These wagon
mattresses are made of curled hair
They are Of a thickness scarcely great
er than that of the cOverlet that is
known as a comfortable" The ex-
igencies Of plate glass transportation
require that these mattresses be con-
structed with exceeding care, mas
much as slight lump anywhere in
the mattress might prove sufficient to
cause the breakage of the glass that
rests upon it. In the event of two
plates of glass resting upon that lumJ,
at the same time still greater danger
to the glass is courted. These plate
glass mattresses cost, according to
size, from $50 to $40. The mere remak.
ing Of such a mattress may cost from
$50 to $25.-Harper's.

Peaks of the DoIomites.

The Tyrol, that rugged land of noun
tain warfare, has lost much of its lust
for battle. But far above its vineclad
valleys and crag uplifted castles, hoary
with grim memories of hurting
slaughter. there rises a region of en-
battled spires where the joy of victory
may yet be tasted. The battle is not with
dukes and their legions. but with those
solemn sentinels of the silences, the
towering peaks of the Dolomites.
These rocky giants, with their defenses
of gloomy precipice, icy slope and
storm swept ridge. still challenge man
to the fray. Health and strength are
some of the rewards they offer if ap-
preached with due prudence and skill
full assault; otherwise they may take a
relentless revenge. - New York Tele-

Shetland Ponies In Mines.

While thousands Of Shetland ponies
furnish amusement for the children OF
England, just as they do for the boys
and girls of the United States, much
larger number are used in the English
coal mines. The tunnels of the Eng
fish mines are not nearly so large as
those of the mines in this country, and
it is necessary to have very small pc
MES to draw the coal cars from the
pits. The only alternative would be
to enlarge the tunnels, a plan which
would entail too heavy an expense TO
be even considered by the English
mine owners. The limit in height of
ponies used by the English miners IS
forty three inches. They prefer to have
them not over thirty-eight inches high,
low, stout, compact little fellows. In
the old days it was a common practice
for English miners to use mother pO-
MES when they were not in a cOndi
ton to stand hard work. But a law
was passed some years ago prohibiting
the use Of female ponies Of any age in
the mines. Recently another law was
passed prohibiting the use of male pO-
MES that are not at least four years
