Wax is it assumed on all hands that the proposition to make young ladies ohurch ushers necessarily carries with it the idea that the young ladies designated to act in that capacity shall be pretty ones ? Is the plain church-go­ ing girl to be discriminated against? It is not fair. Some of the homeliest men on earth are acting as ushers in churohes and are fillingthe position with entire acceptance. Let no girl be passed over or neglected because she may not be as handsome as some others. Suoh discrimination would be contrary to the spirit of the age and the principles of the Declaration of Independence, not to mention the Civil Bights Bill MA the Inter-State Commerce Law.

In his forthcoming -volume, entitled "Good-bye, My Fancy," (he mentioned certain pieces that were rejected. For instance, "Eidolons" was «ent back by Doctor Holland of Scrib- iner's Magazine, with "a lengthy, very insulting, and contemptuous letter." "To the Sunset Breeze" was rejected by Harper's as being an "improvisation" only, and "On Ye Jocund Twain" was returned by the Century as "personal merely." IT is gratifying to hear of one man in this money-getting world who is so sat­ isfied with his accumulations that he is about to retire permanently from busi­ ness. Men are given to saying that when they acquire a specified amount of wealth they will give up the pursuit of money and devote themselves to the enjoyment of what they possess. As a matter of fact, when they do attain the limit of their early desires, the limit is commonly found to have enlarged; they want more, and are only contented in the effort to make more. It will be in­ teresting to note what millionaire Bloom, of Chicago, undertakes to do with his leisure and his surplus. Un­ less he is unlike most men of great wealth he has not cultivated a liking for occupations apart from business, and time may hang so heavy on his hands that he will return to his broker's office in self-defense. , Such things have been known. POLICE MAGISTRATE ORIPP, of Pitts­ burgh, recently had % wife-beater before him and was so moved by the testimony against the brute that he declared a whipping-post should be at once estab­ lished for all wife-beaters. V Police. Magistrate Gripp was right ahd his suggestion will meet with the general sympathy of all decent men. There is nothing that would appeal more power­ fully and effectively to these sooundrelly wretches than punishment in kind, and nothing that would be more likely to save defenseless women from their cruelty than the ,prospect of a sound flogging. This method of punishment also has the advantage of being ade­ quate, for either fine or imprisonment tends to deprive the wife and children of support The whipping-post is used in Maryland and Delaware for this class of brutes and it has been found to work admirably as a deterreut of wife-beating. The infliction of the flogging is left at the discretion of the judges, who do not usually order it for a first offense unless the cases are very barbarous. The mere promise of the lash is sufficient to prevent a repetition of it, THERE are signs that our oonntry is awakening to a sense of its position among the manufacturing nations as first in activity, wealth, and population. It is beginniog to recognize that the 1,300,000,000 people outside its own boundaries represent a vast potential commerce, and that 1,000,000,000 of them live in non-manufacturing coun­ tries. The nations of Europe have been struggling for this trade, fully aware of the enormous value of the commerce which has built up the wealth of England, but they have been handi­ capped and unable to make a winning fight against that powerful and astute adversary. There are many evidencs that we are about to enter this field of peaceful combat. What are the ele­ ments of strength that make victory probable? The vividly energetic char­ acter of the people, educated in activity by a commerce unobstructed over a continental area, gives promise of a momentum hard to resist. The Ameri­ can celerity of thought and tendency to prompt action, the spontaneous ingenu­ ity in adapting means to ends, in seiz­ ing every new discovery and elaborating it for the uses of man with bewildering swiftness, all make for continuous and rapid progress. The recent expansion of the uses of electricity is a striking example of thifc Potentially every American is an inventor, always search­ ing for a better way. THE London busmen, immediately after going on a strike, rent for John j given three sons Burns, the notorious agitator, to head their movement. Burns proved any­ thing but a Moses. He could give them no help financial or otherwise, and managed to get himself arrested by the police as the easiest way oat of the ••Unci* Sam." Here is a sketch of the origin of the term "Uncle Sam" as applied to our government ? Farmer's "Americanisms, Old and New," and Bartlett's "Dictionary of Americanisms" give this origin of the term, crediting it to Frost's "Naval History of the United States:" Just after the last declaration of war with England, Elbert Anderson, a con­ tractor At New York, went to Troy, where provisions, beef, pork, eta, were concentrated. He purchased a quantity. The inspectors of these articles were Ebenezer and Samuel Wilson, the latter known as "Uncle Sam." They em­ ployed a number of workmen, and one of them marked the cask of goods bought by Anderson, "E. A.--U. S." When asked what it meant, he replied he did not know unless it stood for "Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam," re­ ferring to Wilson. The letters U. S. for United States were at that time al­ most unknown to them. The joke took, and later when some of these same workmen went to the frontier to meet the enemy and get some of the provisions they he«>ed store, it followed them and was soon recognized in every part of the country. Origin of the Bedoutna. The following legend accounts for the origin of the Bedouins: To Adam were a farmer, a hunter, and a Badawi. To the latter, for his livelihood, Adam gave a camel. The Badawi came to Adam and said: "My camel is dead. ^ hat shall I do nov for a living?" To whom Adam said: I "Go thv way. and live off what thou i canst filch from thy brethren." How tli* Tariff Bansflti lha Fiurmor--Bo- pabUcMU Should Cot to Work--Waco* la tha United States--Short Political Goaalp--Tar.fl Pictures. The free traders and revenue reform­ ers assert that ihe tariff is a "robbery." Can it be a "robbery" of any one to seure to the people of this country the opportunity to supply our national wants by the hands of our own countrymt-n? That is ail that the highest conceivable tariff can secure. In times of armed conflict our citizens are retired to leave their homes and families to take up arms, and at the risk of their lives defend the country against armed invasion. Why should not the country in time of peace protect the la­ bor of those men from an industrial invasion no les« destructive? If the tariff be a "robbery," it is first to be observed that ail classes of the people, the rebbed as we.l as the rob­ bing. are better fed, better clothed and better housed than the people of any other country in the wor'd. That is the crucial test of economical politics. It is undeniabie that the most perfect suiting of occupations to the various aptitudes of all the members of the com­ munity will be produced by the carrying on of the largest variety of industries. Is it not then the duty o* a < ountry to maintain such in iustrial policy as will secure the greatest possible extent and variety of production, leaving to the natural competition between individuals the function of preventing undue profits on the part of any? There are -J3,000,000 of active workers in this country. Among that larga number the contests and tompetition of those engaged in the same business may be relied on to adjust prices so that none can ma ice a profit greater than the average profits of the community. But let us see who her there is any robbery effected by a tariff. As to such portion of the money col­ lected as is paid to the Government, that goes into the public Treasury and aids in defraying the expenses of the nation. Inasmuch as all the people share in it9 benefits, that portion cannot be con­ sidered "robbery." It will hardly do to assert that the foreign manufacturer is "robbed" by our requiring him to deposit in our Treasury a sum of money In the nature of a license fee for the privilege of selling his wares in this country. The "rob" therefore must consist of the difference between a reasonable price and the price now charged by the manufacturer. If such difference exists, it must constitute a margin so ample as to bocome a strong incentive to the i eo- ple of any section claiming to be robbed by it to organize for themselves compet­ ing establishments, and thus wholly pro­ tect theinsolves against the exact on of the robber. The tariff protects them against the foreigner, and all that is needed to protect them against the na­ tive robber is for themselves to do the work--to produco the article. Why do they not produce it? If they have not the skill they can employ it. Thero is ample skill in thia country ready to go wherever sufficient inducement is of­ fered. \fa(tl in the United States. There is no reason whatever why every man in the United States should not be willing to pav such rates of wages and such prices of commodities as shall naturally result from the free and unre­ stricted competition of all our own people. When trade between a people is per­ fectly free, as In this country, there cannot, on the average and in the long run, be higher wages paid to those em­ ployed in one Industry than to those in another. Wherever any one industry gives indication that the compensation paid to those engaged in it is on tho average greater than the compensation paid in other occupations, the industry paying the higher compensation is in­ vaded by men from the occupations paying less, and tnus wages constantly tend to an equalization. This invasion may continue to a point at which, by the overstocking of the labor market in the favored industry, wages may finally de­ cline to a point lower than the average rates prevailing in other industries. Under the Democratic policy, if wages fall in Europe our industries stand in danger of destruction. On the other hand, while professing to be the special friend of the workin?man, the Demo­ cratic party would set on foot a policy which would render impossible any in­ crease in tho wages of our own people. It is sometimes charged as a reproach against the protective policy that iu Some special protected industry wages tend to a minimum. Where this occurs it is an unerring indication of the vicious distribution of industries, and one of the most distressing consequences of thoir maladjustment. The remedy indicated is, not a reduction of the tariff, but a wider diversification and distribution of industries, so that all persons who want employment may not be compelled to seek it in the same o cupation. It is obvious that if industries be relatively few, with large numbers of men seeking employment, those men must distribute themselves as best they may, and without intelligent adjust­ ment, among the few industries in oper­ ation. If a larger number enter into any special pursuit than aro needed to meet the demands of production in that pursuit, wages will inevitably decline. The function of a protective tariff, car­ ried to its farthest limit, is to obviate the necessity tor this. Its tendoncy is to encourage the establishment of a variety of industries and so to increase opportunities for employment, not in one or two but in a great diversity of occupations. the fact of assisted passaee as a matter of course. The tickets to the United States are given out with the soup, shoes, and clothes, and the paupers are sent over here to be dumped on our shores, to throng the ranks of peddlers that are already a suHcient nuisance, and sometimes a positive peril in our streets, and to help to bring down the' wages of American workmen.--Msw York Press. Iowa Rei>nblle«ns and Reciprocity. When Attorney General Stone, of Iowa, was addressing the Republican ], £tate convention, of which he was chair­ man, the remark* which were followed by continued and general applause were these: "There is but one reciprocity, and James G. Blaine is its prophet. | Tre­ mendous applause. | When he first an­ nounced this gospel the Democratic party, under the spur of the moment, thought it saw free trade standing in a moro dazzling light than over before But when the spoil was broken reciproci­ ty was in a Kepublican camp and James IT. liiaine was its chief high priest" I Here the convention again became wild­ ly enthusiastic. J Tho farmers of Iowa have sense enough to know a good thing when tbev see it, even though some of their old leaders may have to'.d them it was worth nothing to them. The farmers see that Blaine s reciprocity scheme is opening valuable new markets for their surplus wheat and corn products and hogs, and tho warm feeling they long felt for him is intensified by tho lact that he has benefited financially every one of them by adding to the selling value of his crops swine and cattle. It is becauso the Iowa farmers have been able to perceive the beneficial workings of reciprocity that they have not wan­ dered off after false gods, like the Alli­ ance meu of Kansas and some other States. They have not asked for "ukase" money and Government ware­ houses in which to run a corner and cre­ ate a famine In foodstuffs, because they felt tha* relief in Increasing measure was coming to them from legitimate quarters. * * * * The Democrats did uot'montiou reciprocity Jn their plat­ form. They suppressed it, and they do not allege, as they aro doing regarding local option, that it was left out "by tho mistake of a lady typewriter." They simply ignore it, f.>r they dare not op­ pose it openly, because of its popularity with tho massos, and they cannot in­ dorse it, bccause they cannot reconcile it with their free-trade "tariff for revenue only" principles and their wish to throw ouen American ports to competitive in- cutting goods of t heap-labor Europe, while reciprocity only lets In non com­ petitive products which help and not harm trade. The Republican speakers must point out to their audiences what reciprocity can bo made to do for them, and then point to the cowardly and treacherous Democratic attitude <^this important question. The Kit of the Bine-Nosed Hen. There is much amusement in watching your average flee-trade editor struggling with the statistics of Imports and ex­ ports and their bearing on the McKinley bill. As a rule, the f. t e. lets tho facts and figures severely alone; they havo suclx a way of suggesting "absurd and uneconomic protectionist" conclusions. But once in a while ho has to wrestle with them for appearance's sake, if only to keep himself from being laughed out of court He is still in a state of mtfid over the figures presented at the recent convention of t anadiau egg-dealers at Montreal, which appointed a committee to ask the Dominion Government to put a retaliatory duty on Amorican eggs, of which it appears that we exported to Canada 0?5,lt>8 dozen, or £89,444 worth, during the last fiscal year. The funny thing Is that the free-trado organs do not see that the significance of this sort of thing is that the McKin­ ley duty on eggs is doing its work very effectively indeed, and giving tho Ameri­ can egg market to tho American farmer and poulterer. Hero is a sample of the way it has worked during tho nearly five months between the ftth of October and tho 31st of March. The customs district of Vermont received 2,101,543 do^en of Canadian eggs during the fiscal year end­ ing June 30, 18s0, valued at 8273,881. From tho day when the McKinley bill took effect to the 31.-tof March the same district received only 850 dozen of Cana­ dian ezgs, worth S137. In other words, the whole Canadian egg product is prac­ tically oxcluded from the United States, and tho market transferred to the home product Instead. But tho free trade editor cares for foreiguers rather than for American producers, and his econ­ omic vision is so razzle-dazzled that he thinks tiie market for 62.5,168 dozen of eggs more important than the market for L:*,000,000 dozen, the total of our an­ nual importations before the McKinley biil was passed--Xtw York Prctt. Increased Form Export*. One of the things that free traders have been industriously insisting upon is that the McKinley law restricts the farmers' markets. They have claimed this so often and so petelstently that many people have come to believe it is true. As a matter of fact, nothing is farther from the truth. The exports of farm products have not decreased under the McKinley law. They have increas­ ed instead, and not by a few thousand dollars' worth, but by mill ons, as the following table shows: Total exports of boef, hog and dairy products for month ending April 3J (under Ihe now law! #9.'33.0.30 For same month last year 9,319,7 6 hands.

Behind her there came a great, tall, awkward young fel­ low with the baby in his arms. He had all the awkwardness and the clumsiness of tho average young father who goes abroad for the first time with a baby of hrs own on his arms. He held It up to his broad, full chest so gently and so tenderly in the hollow of one of his big red hands, a frail, helpless lltt e bundle of humanity, for whioh that great giaut would lay down his life. "Shan't I take him now?" asked the baby's mother when she sat down. "No, no; I'll hold him," he said, as he gathered up the baby's fong ruffled and tucked white skirts to keep them from touching the car floor after he had sat down. "When you get tired holding him I'll take him," she said. "Oh, ho won't tire me any. He Isn't any heavier than a bird," was the reply. And thero the, thing and ever; baby!

At a general meeting of tho business men of Montreal, Canada, President Donald Smith, referring to the effects of the McKinley tariff law of the United States, said "the outcome of business throughout the country has not been good, but therj aro indications that Canada will find other markets and go on progressing."

England Startled. That Mr. Blaine's reciprocity policy is causing a good di>al of uneasiness in England is shown by the strong pressure that is being brought to t bear on Lord Salisbury to take some steps to offset the injurious effects that it is having on En­ glish trade, present and prospective. Several members of Parliament have been urging the Prime Minister to offset Mr. Blaine's effective method of extend­ ing American trade. They suggest that a beginning at reciprocity could be made with English colonies, and it is reported that communications with Canada, Aus­ tralia, and New Zealand have been pri­ vately going on for some timo past for tho formation of an Imperial Zollvereln. It is said that some of the Colonial Min­ isters are in favor of such an arrange­ ment which would discriminate against foreign products in favor of the articles produced in Gr^at Britain and the colo­ nies. But here free trade steps in and asserts Its claim. To discriminate against the manufactures of countries not belonging to tho proposed Zollvereln would be a declaration that free trade is a failure. The rulers of England are not prepared to do this. Nevertheless, something must be done if England Is i.ot to see her trade slipping out of her Should Oct to Wort Hon. J. S.

" Ye«, sir,* said the barber as he tucked % towel under the man's chin. Til put a curl in it that will stay a week," he added a minute later as he pulled a couple of bills out of his pocket and smoothed them on the customer's shoulder. Then he twisted up one side of the mustache and deftly fastened it with1 one of the bills. The same was done with the other. The man was surprised, evidently, at seeing money used for curl papers, and more sur­ prised as he saw a big X 14 front of each eye. The barber applied the lather, hut the man grew nervous. "Is that money you have twisted in my mustache?" he asked. "Yes, sir, I always prefer good Amer­ ican scrip to common paper or tin foil. And then," he added, after a pause, "it gives tone to the business." "Well, I've l:al money in all parts of my olothes, in my shoes and hat band, even in my undershirt, but--well, I never had it in my mustache before. And they look like two saw- bucks; are they?" "Yes: each is a ten. I have used two fifties bet that's when money was a little more plentiful." The barber shaved away, and the customer evidently kept up thinking. The chair was near the door, aud the faucet some feet back in the shop. When the barl»er walked back to wet the towel, after going over the man's face once, the Utter suddenly raised up, sprang from the chair aud bolted out oi the door. "Hold on there you--fool 1" yelled the barber, as he ran to the door; but the man didn't hold. He ran up an alley in the same block. Then the barber sat down and roared, while the others in the shop joined in with him. HI thought he was going to do that all the time. Well, I've got the best of the bargain anyway." He has got the shave and the Confederate ten dollar bills, and I've got his hat. St. Faul Pioneer Press.
