FROM OTHER PENS
RATHER LOCAL.

Speaking of the manufacturers and
others who have, appeared at the tar
iff hearing. Gibson Gardner says: 'All
these people are protectionists for
| their home industries and free trade
for other peoples industries"
Certainly, and thus we have the
bare skeleton of the theory OF high
protection. There eares now no liars
claiming that the foreigner pays the
tax. Mark Hanna himself wouldn't
now claim that under protection there
are no trusts. The production of wages
which the workingman was prom
ised went into its hole and pulled the
hole in after it, long ago. The bony
remains of the theory, we repeat, are
just this-that it is mutually bene-
ficial for John Smith to rob Jim
Jones when selling him onions because
Jib robs John when selling him har-
vesters. Your southern Californian
goes to Washington weeping over the
low schedule against Italian lemons
and roaring at the high price Of wool
socks. On an incoming train from
another direction comes another fell
low who is groaning about the COM
petition of Argentina sheep and
damning forty-cent lemons.
Poor Winfield Scott Hancock He
was almost ridiculed out of the
presidency for stating that protection
was local issue, and now we see for
ty-nine different interests at Wash
ington each swearing that it's partic-
ular brand of extortion is the only
genuine thing in the way of protec-
ton worth fostering. How little time
it really takes for experience to pune
ture some of our tremendous national
policies full of holes!-Des Moines

GENTLEMEN OF LEISURE
al
engaged in transferring a safe from the
second story of window in Penn
sylvania avenue to a wagon upon the
street. The operation was not espe-
cially difficult nor interesting, and yet
for more than an hour it was atten-
lively observed by more than a hun
dred men. They were apparently gen.
tlemen of leisure, of all classes and
conditions, with nothing else to do than
to stand with their hands in their
pockets and watch other men labor.
The incident was not unusual Let
a street car come to grief and a small
army of the idle and curious instantly
gathers. The operation of excavating
the foundation for the new Arlington
hotel was a magnet which attracted
hundreds, until a fence was erected to
screen the workmen from observation.
Where do these gentlemen of leisure
come from? How do they otherwise
manage to occupy their time when
there is nothing of semi-public impor-
tance to engage their attention?
These crowds are an interesting study
in human nature. They are able bodied
men, all of them, and it would seem
as if they might find more profitable
occupation than idle gazing. One won
ders where they spring from, and where
they go. We envy their leisure and
their apparent ability to find enjoy
ment in the simple act of merely look
ing on.-Washington Herald

1t is said by friends of Lady Con-

but by doing them in public, where
any plebian with six shilling could

she had frequently done the shock

Lady Constance was hurt by the
treatment accorded her by my lord,

from this little incident has done her

daring dances in the capitals of Eu-
