There is a friend of mine, a painter, who lias all the talents and no talent of Jiia own. fie would copy or imitate a OREMZF) or a Watteau to. perfection. A Diaz by him only wants the signature, which an unscrupulous dealer does not hesitate to forge. My friend, whom we will rail Durand, is an excellent man, industrious and cleTer, but too negligent to take the initiative in anything, even in painting. Well, he had given notice to quit his apartment in July, on the fifteenth day of the month, at noon, ac­ cording to the customs of the country. He had, however, been so absorbed in his painting that he had forgotten to re­ tain a wagon to take away hia furniture, and when, he did at last concern himself about the matter he only succeeded in securing one for the end of the day. But at noon precisely, just as he was putting the finishing touches to a copy of Greuze's famous "Oruche-Cassee," there came an imperious knock at the door. It was the new tenant, escorted by her fr.rr.itnre. She was furious to fmd tlmt Durand was "dawdling over his paint brushes,w while all her furniture was out in the street exposed to thie gaze of indiscreet passersby. She even threat­ ened to send for the police in order to -bring Durand to a sense of his duties as an outgoing tenant. Durand, like many painters, thought the sea more charming than ever when agitated by a storm, and concluded that his fair visitor was rendered more beau­ tiful by her anger. She was about twenty-five years of age. She had dark hair and blue eyes, a fine, supple figure, and her pretty nostrils were slightly dilated by her emotion. She was ac­ companied by a little girl of six years of age--a little golden haired fairy. "What!" continued the irate lady, "you are not going away until 5 o'clock? It is absurd! What am 1 to do with my furniture? Where is the proprietor? I must see the proprietor!" It was im­ possible to gratify her last wish. The concierge alone was available, but the newcomer was so terrible, so aggressive and so threatening that Cerberus was tamed and ran away, leaving his broom behind him. INFLUENCE OF A CHILD. Durand ought, according to his sys­ tem of imitation, to have become wrath­ ful, too, but his adversary was a pretty woman, so he sought an ally. The lit­ tle girl was playing with a shepherdess in jiorcelain de Saxe that adorned one end of the chimney piece. "Should you like it?" '*Oh, yes; it is so pretty!" "Take it." "Jeanne," said the mother, "1 forbid you to accept anything." "If it were only to please her," replied Durand, "1 could understand your pro­ hibition, but it is an economy for me. 1 shall have so much less to move." W omen are ready laughers. The lady fixed her eyes on the wall in order to keep her countenance. "Your name is Jeanne?" said the painter. "Yes," an­ swered the child. "And your papa-- where is he?" "He died two years ago.'* "And mamma is a widow?" "Yes, mon­ sieur." Then turning to the lady, Durand apologized for fads sins, told her that he had cleared one room and that he would go and help her get her furniture in. Soon the furniture began to find its place--the wardrobe, the mirror, the bookcase. "Oh, madame, without know­ ing you, as I look at these books I can read your mind. Balzac, Hugo, Lamar- tine"-- "Ta, ta, ta," cried the irate lady, "yoa would have done better to clear out before noon than to be trying to study my character!" "I am work­ ing all the time, madame. Look! I have put that console there--here the statue of the Virgin--this little mirror opposite the window." "Oh, it is no use; you cannot make peace with me!" WRATH TURNED TO LOVE. There was an interval of twenty min­ utes, during which the lady stood at the window. Durand had remained in his room with the child. "Are they com­ ing today or tomorrow--your men?" she asked angrily as she came back into the room; but she stopped in the middle. Jeanne, motionless and smiling, was seated on a chair and Durand was paint­ ing her portrait. "Mamma,"t said the little one suddenly, "I am hungry. You have some wine and a pate in the big basket." "Come, then, and breakfast on the balcony," murmured the mother. Durand was left alone to finish his sketch. There was a silence of ten min­ utes. Then the child returned timidly. "Mamma has something to ask you." "What?" "She does not dare." "She wants to turn me out?"' "No." "What then?" "Mamma would like to know if you--if you would like a piece of pate." This happened on July 15, and when the concierge arrived, aU trembling, to announce that the men had at last come to remove Durand's furniture, he found him sitting on the balcony at table with the mother and dandling the child on bis knees. Misfortunes, however, never come alone. The wagon was too small. It would not hold all Durand's things at once. "Leave your palette, your easel and your pictures," said Jeanne; "I will take care of them, and then you will be obliged to come back again and finiah my picture." He left them. He only came into possession of them on Jan. 15, when he brought all his fur­ niture back into his own room. This time, however, there was no difficulty about the outgoing tenant, for she had meanwhile become Durand's wife, and the two households were merged into one.--Paris Cor. Philadelphia Bulletin. And Still We Have Dyspepsia. Scientists assure us that upward of 6,000,000 minute glands are constantly at work in oor atomacha -- Senator Spooner's Speech. In seconding the nomination of Gen. Harrison as a candidate for reelection to the presidency at the Minneapolis convention Senator Spooner, of Wis­ consin, spoke as follows: Mr. President and OentlemSn of the Conven­ tion: The preliminaries are settled and it is a relief that we are at last faca to face with the great duty which we cofme hither to perform. That the action of this boJy, composed of repre­ sentative men who love the republican party, and seek to promote its success, for its record snd its principles, will bo deliberate, thoughtful and patriotic and such as to secure for it tho approval of those who sent us here, cannot well be doubted. National republican conventions Isave not been accustomed to make mistakes. {That which met in Chicago in 1888 made no mis­ take when it intrusted the power and responsi­ bility and leadership to Banjamin Harrison, and Benjamin Harrison made no mistakes. He quickly proved himself an ideal ^candidate and a leader who led. Millions of hostile and eager eyes searched his wholo life in vain for a spot or blemish. On the march and in the battle no MM rode before him. Calm, dignified and wise, every day brought frrtm hk lina dciiT6faGC?, i" i tsd? «£ perfect platform, unexcelled for grace of diction, power of epigrammatic statemant and the spir­ it of true eloquence. He imbued the party with renewed vigor and strength and intrepidly led it to victory. His friends bring his name into this conven­ tion proudly conscious that the record which he has made needs not to be supplemented by words of advocacy. He has been from the day of his inauguration what the people elected him to be--tho president of the United States, He has given to the country an administration which, for ability, efficiency, purity and patriot­ ism challenges without fear comparison with any which has preceded, since the foundation of the government. He has been free from "vari­ ableness or shadow of turning" in his devotion to t.he principles of the renuhlloan party AND TO the redemption of the pledges made by it to the people. He has stood for the protection of American industries and the interest of Ameri­ can wage-workers, and placed with alacrity the seal of approval upon the great tarifT bill of the Fifty-lirst congress, which has outridden the flood of misrepresentation which has swept over it, as did the ark the deluge of old, and now rests upon a foundation as solid as Mount Ara­ rat. Ho championed and promoted by every moans in harmony with tho dignity of his great office the adoption of the scheme of reciprocity, which, as enacted, has tound favor with our people, not limited to the South American re­ publics, or bartering the interests of one indus­ try for the benetlt of another by ths free admis­ sion of competitive products, but compelling fair treatment by all governments of our people and our products, under penalty ot commercial retaliation. Openly friendly to the use of silver as one ot tho coin MVITALS of tha country, under conditions which shall surely maintain it at a parity with gold, and striving to secure by international agreement the existence of those conditions, he stands nevertheless as Ilrm AS the granite which underlies tho continent against a policy which would debase the currency of the people, and drive the cola of either ma til out OR circula­ tion. Nor did he forget or disregard the sol­ emn pledge of the republican party that "every citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black," is entitled at every publio elec­ tion to cast one free billot, aad to have that ballot honestly counted and faithfully returned. With a skill, dignity and courage which has compelled the admiration of political friends and foes alike he has caused it to bo understood throughout the world that the American repre­ sents a government which ha* the power and the will to protect tho AMERICAN uniform and American interests at all hazards everywhere, whether assailed by peppery neighbors to the southward of us or by the dlplomaoy or power of Great Britain. Every interest of tho people has had his best care and his beat thought, and he stands before the country to-day well approved, aad univer­ sally acknowledged to be a man of transcendant ability, of extraordinary capacity for the dis­ charge of executive duty, of eaalted patriotism and lofty purpose, who would not for unanimous renomination BY this convention and a reelec­ tion by the people, swerve ono hair's breadth in any matter of duty, great or SMILL, from what he believes to be just an:l right. IT is said against him that he has made enemies snd it is prdbably true. So did Washington, SO did Jackson, so did Lincoln^ so did Grant, so did Arthur. But this convention will not mistake the lamontations of tho disappointed for the voices of the "plain people." This judgment over-estimates the importance of individuals and underestimates the intelligence and patriotism of the masses. They will not be be­ guiled into the belief that the object of govern­ ment is the bestowal of office, parties care little for the ambition of leaders, and whether John Smith secures an office this month, next month or not at aH. They do not demand of a presi­ dent that he shall be able to 4»lease everyone. They want good government, they demand hon-. esty and ability and industry and purity in pub­ lic and private life, and all this they have had in Benjamin Harrison, and they know it. We place him before this convention as one who can bear and will bear, whether nominated or not (for he is a republican), his full share in the great contest which to-day Is to begin. The republicans of every great state save one in con­ vention assembled have indorsed with enthus­ iasm his administration Upon that adminis­ tration and its record of efficiency and achieve­ ment the rcpublionn party is to enter the oom- ing campaign. There is nothing persuasive in the assertion that the people who approve an administration will withhold their approval from the man who is responsible for it, and who has largely made it Put him again at the head of the column. Place in his hand the banner of republicanism and he will carry it aggressively all the time at the front; and he will lead us again to victory. There will be irresistible power and inspira­ tion In the knowledge which pervades the peo­ ple that so long as ho is president there is one at the helm who, whatever betides us, at home or abroad, will bring to the solution of every question, to the execution of every policy, and to the performance of every duty, a splendid disciplined intellect, absolute rectitude of pur­ pose, an unfaltering desire to conserve every interest of every section, a self poise which is sure safeguard against hasty or mistaken judg­ ment, aud a patriotism which never has wa­ vered, either in war or in peace. A principal difference between the two great political parties is their rela­ tion to the question of wages. The democratic policy might and might not cheapen a few articles in common use, but it would inevitably reduce \va«vs. The effect of republican legislation has been to maintain wages, and under the stimulus of active business bring a healthy competition and a development of mechanical invention that has re­ duced the cost of manufactured articles to a price within the reach of all. One of the great political problems of ,the day is as to how the wa^es of the laborer, the mechanic and the operative may be maintained. It is hardly probable that they will be materially increased, for they are already much higher than $n European countries, but it is highly important that they should not be lowered, as they inevitably would be were the democratic free trade policy to be in­ augurated in the United States. The conflict of 1893 is to be a repe­ tition of 18S8, with this difference: That Gen. Harrison has grown greatly in the confidence of the public and has demonstrated that he is a man of great nerve and force of character, possessed, of keen foresight rare discretion and marked ability. In Great Britain twenty per oeat, ol the ranual product goes to taacatk ̂\ Gov. McKlnley's Speech. Dpon taking the chair as tha perma­ nent presiding officer of the national republican mnvpntirm at. Gov. McKinley spoke as fallows: I thank you for the honor of HRJ JIDING OVW the tenth national convention of the republican pirty. Republican CONVENTION* m;in some­ thing. They have always MSAAT SOMETHING. Republican conventions si? what THO? mean and mean what they SIY. Tiny de-dare princi­ ples, and policies, and PUR-P^ES. and, when to- trusted with power, exeaurs and enforce them. The first national conveatioa of the republic­ an party WAS held thirty-six years ago in the city of Philadelphia. Tho platform of that great convention reads TO-D^VMIRE like Inspira­ tion than the affirmation of a political party. Every provision of that cre.it instrument MADE by the fathers of our part? is on the public stat­ utes of our country to-day." Everyone of thein has been embodied into piblic liw, and that cannot be said of the platform of any other po­ litical organization In this or any other country of the world. Whenever thSro is anything to be done in this country; and by this country, and for thla country, the Republican party is called upon to do it. THERE is ONE THING can B3 SAID AHONT OUR organization that cannot be said about any other--it can look backward without shame or humiliation, and it can look forward with cheer , and exultation. That cannot be said of any po­ litical organization other than ours In the United States. Thus, gentlemen of the convention, we are here to-day to make a platform and a ticket that will oommend themselves to the conscience and in­ telligence aud judgment of the American people, "and wo will do it Whatever is done by this convention, either as to platform or as to ticket, will receive the approval of the American peo­ ple in November of this year. We have already heard some of the notes of victory, for this is a republican year. Rhode Island haf spokQp. Only yesterday Oregon spoke, ELECTING three representatives, »HR«E re­ publican representatives, to the congress of the United States, aad when we get through with this convention its conclusions will be the law erf republican action, as they will be the assuraaoe of republican victory. We are for a protective t sriff and for reci­ procity. : We propose to take no backward step upon either one of these gre it republican prin­ ciples. We stand for a protective tariff because it represents the American home, the American fireside, the American family, the American girl, the American bay, and tho highest possi­ bilities of American citizenship. We propose to raise our money to pay paolic expenses by taxing the-produets of other. nations rather than by taxing tho products of our own. The democratic party belierei in direct taxation, that is in taxing ourselves, but we do not be­ lieve in that principle so loag as we can find anybody else to tax. Our protective tariff not only does everything which a revenue tariff is doing, raising ail needed revenues, but A protective tariff does more. A protective.tariff encourages and stim­ ulates American industries and gives the wid­ est possibilities to American genius and Amer­ ican effort. ' Does anybody know what tariff reform is? And that is to be tho pi itform of our political opponents this year. '.'Whit does it mean?" you ask. STULY XJresideat Cleveland's utter­ ances, from the flrayt one he m IDS in NOW York, when he said he did not know anything about the tariff, until his last one in Rhode Island, and you come away ignorant'and uninformed as to what tariff reform means. Since the war there hive been three great tariff reform bills proposed by* democratic lead­ ers, none of them alike, neither of them with the same free list, neither of them with the same tariff list, neither ot them with the same rates of duty, but all made by tho de mocratic party upon the same principle to symbolize and represent tariff reform You may go to Mills, you may go to Springer, and you will And Uiey differ totally; but you miy go to the house of representatives at Washington, which was Ifelected distinctively upon, whit thoy call a tariff reform issue, with two-thirds majority in the house, aad what do you tlnd? They pass three bills. Let me nimj them. First--Free tin plate, leaving sheet steel, from which it is made, tariffed. That is, the finished -product free and tne raw material bearing a duty. Second--Free wool to the manufacturer and tariffed cloth to the consumer. Third--FROO cotton ties to the cotton states and tariffed hoop iron to all the rest of the states. -IP' That is their idea of tariff reform. Gentle­ men of the convention, how do you like IT? This contest that wo enter upon is tor the maintenance of protection and reciprocity, and 1 want to say here that thera is not a line in that tariff bill that is not Amer­ ican, there is not a passage that is not patriotic, there is not a page that does not represent true Americanism and the highest possibilities «T American citizenship. We are to declare ourselves upon other ques­ tions here to-day. We are to declare ourselves upon the question of a free ballot and a fair count. No pltviform should ever be made that does not reiterate * that great constitutional guarantee. No repub­ lican speech should ever be m>de that does not insist firmly and resolutely that that great constitutional guaranty shall be a living birthright, not a cold formality of constitutional enactment, but a living thing which the poorest and humblest may confidently enjoy and which the richest and most powerful dare not deny. ^JVE can well leave to the committee on reso­ lutions the duty of making a platform that shall represent the best thoughts aud the best ideas and the best wisdom of the republican party. When we go out of this convention upon a true republican platform we go out marching to rio- tory, no matter what name may carry the banner. ^ Protection's Progressive Power. Under the wonderful inspiration of American protection and republican reciprocity, regardless of. the false prophecies of free trade doctrinaires,the Republican is pleased to learn that the volume of trade of the United States with foreign countries keeps right on growing quite as rapidly as owr own dis­ tinctively American industria.1 laterals. From the official report of the bureau of statistics at Washington for twelve months ending April 30,1893, we take the following summary of and imports; April 30--Exports for 12 months to ". _ . ii;i. to.... .... ...... l|.W}t>CT Imports free of duty....
