Piotection to American industries is what the people want and what they will have after tho election of 1S96, when a trno and tried republi can, a representative of tho Ameri can doctrine of protection is installed into office. Common sense teaches the people that the tariff policy of the democratic party has been at the root of nil the commercial and in dustrial woes for the past two years, and common sense will teach them to hereafter continno trno to that party the republican whose policy has always contributed to the ad vancement of out industrial interests and the prosperity of tho people. The people now fully recognize tbo protective system as the historical basis of national prosperity, and tho new experience which they havo had during the past two years under democratic rnle, has only added to the original conviction, that protec tion to American industries as for mulated and carrie I into offect by the republican party, is tho only preenrser to success and the welfare of all classes in the various pursuits of life. Two years of idleness, two years of poverty, two years of silent fac tories and reduced scales of wages in the United States, having worked a loss to the American farmer almost equivalent to tho total of possible foreign commerce in the products of the farm, are now ready to turn their backs upon democratic "tariff reform" and once more bring pro tection to the front as the only sal vation from a ruined commerce, and from industrial disaster and ruin. THE DIFFERENCE. The American sheep farmer and wool grower pay taxes for slate pur poses, and for county purposes ; con tributes to the building of churches; contributes to the support of the ministry; seeks to raise and educate his children to be useful people in the world. His lands are valued at S25to?100per acre. The Australian sheep grower raises wool on lands rented for a few cents per sere. Ho pays no county taxes, he pays no state taxes, he supports no church or other enlightening institution. He simp'y raises wool, and now under the new tariff law he comes into the American market and competes with tho American fanner. This is Tariff Reform" free wool to drive the American farmer ont of bnsi ness; to reduce him and his family to want; to rob him of the thousands of dollars that his sheep were worth under protection. What think you of it, Oregon wool grower" Does free trade in wool suit your fancy, or would you not rather have some protection against the large imports of foreign wool which eo much lessens the price of your own product Think of these things and act accordingly. It is predicted that before many years the sunflower will come into general cultivation in this country. As ia plant it has no superior f6r vigor, rapid growth and prolific yield of seed, leaves and stalk, all of which can be ntilized. The reed3 are especially good as feed foi fowls, and when mixed with grains they are relished by all farm animals. Fifty bushels of seed to the acre is a fair yield, and this will produce lifty gal lons of oil worth ?1 n gallon. In China a valuable fiber, need in silk weaving, is obtained from the stalks, and they are of service as fuel and a source of potash. The Orientals mix their tobacco with cured sunflower leaves, and make a yellow dye from the flowers, which are also rich in honey and wax. The sunflower grows riotously in the United States, and stands all extremes of weather well. Plainly, it iB one of nature's great gifts, but a3 yet unappreciated So strictly is the Sunday law being enforced in New York that among the cases now before the courts is one of an iceman arrested for selling five cents' worth of ice to a little girl in a tenement and a stationer lor selling several sheets of writing paper to a policeman, who, after soliciting the sale as an accommoda tion, made the arrest. With such cases as these in the courts, it is not to bo wondered nt that the New Yorkers are clamoring for home rule and home liberty Judge Bellinger passed sentence Friday upon Jamea Lot an and Seid Back for their complicity in the smuggling conspiracy, Lotan was sentenced to pay a fine of $8000 and Seid Back a flue of $5000. There wus no imprisonment imposed in either case. Lotan gave his check for tbo amount. Sied Back is rust ling for scads. If he fails to put up ho will have to go to jail. The' Journal says there was a bill of $070.50 for making an inventory of the old towels and other property of the asylum. No wonder they have to get along without lady physicians. Albany Democrat. A MODERN NAVAL BATTLE. The Spectacle It a Grand Ono and the Ex perience Thrilling;. A layman, has no conception of tho awful nature of battle In modern naval vessels. Even tho cruisers havo stool sides, and tho air of tho inclosed spaces Is very confined. Tho din in ado by tho impact of a heavy projectile r-gaiust theso metal sides ia awful boyoml de scription. I wore cotton in my cars, bnt in fpito of that, am still deaf from that cause. Tho engineers iu tho Cheu-Yncn stuck to thoir work even when tho tem perature of tho engino room was abovo 200 degrees F. Tho skin of thoir hands and arms was acrunlly roasted off, and every man was blinded for life, tho sight being actually scared out. .La to in tho action, alter my hair had been burned off and my eyes so impaired by injected blood that I could only see out of ono of them, and then only by luting tho lid with my fingers, I was desirous of seeing how tho enemy was delivering his fire. As I groped my way around tho protected deck n hundred pound shell pierced the armor about 18 inches in front of my hand. In a second my hand touching tho steel was so burned that part of tho skin was left upon tho armor. That shows how in tenso is tho heat engendered by tho im pact of a shot and how rapidly tho steel conducts that heat Ono shell struck an open gun shield of tho Chen-Yuen early in tho action, and glancing thenco passed through tho open port Seven gunners wero killed and 15 wounded by that shot Early in tho fight tho maxim gun in our forctop was silenced. Tho holes pierced by a shell could bo seen from tho dock. Aft er tho fight we found tho officer and men on duty there all dead and frightfully mangled. That ono shell had wrought tho havoc. Tho detonations of the heavy cannon and tho impact of hostile projectiles produce concussions that actually rend tho clothing off. The Chinese soldiers deservo all credit for their courage and obedience in that action. No duty was too difficult or dangerous. When tho Chen-Yuen s forecastle was ablaze from Jap shells, I ordered several officers to cross tho shell swept place to fight tho fire. They shirked that duty, but when I called upon the men to volunteer to follow me they did it promptly, and tho ship was saved. It was while on this duty that a shell passing between my legs threw me aloft and let Trio down upon tho deck with such violence that I became unconscious nnd was out of tho fight. All of tho officers, however, wero not cowards. On my ship wero several who had been educated in this country, and they were as brave and devoted as men could be. Others, however, were in the safest place theycculd find amid ships. Captain McGiffin in Mail and Express. InoaadMcent Lamp Cleaner. Many people blamo tho central sta tion for the poor light from their incan descent lamps, when tho fault is really their own. They allow their lamps to bo dirty. It has been shown that one day's accumulatiaa of dust cn incandescent bulbs cuts off 5 per cent of the light, so tho result of a few days neglect can easily be guessed. As a means of remov ing to a great extent the frequent com plaints of poorness cf light a central station recommends the use of a lamp cleaner which greatly facilitates the process cf dusting tbo bulbs. To aS foot handle is attached a strong wire frame work, which carries a number cf felt mittens. By forcing the frame over each lamp and giving tho handle a few turns the dust on tho glass is removed, leav ing tho bulb as clean as when it left the factory. Each-cleaner is provided with a set of rubber friction pads that will, when suitably placed on the mittens, remove and replace burned out lamps. Tho handle can bo extended so as to reach lamps at any distance. This de vice makes tho cleaning of lamps a very quick and easy task. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Eecrtt That Came Too Late. The London Musical Herald tells a queer story about Jack Wilson's tomb in tho Little Cloisters at Westminster abbey. Wilson was Shakespeare's tenor. He was probably tho first to sing "Sigh No More, Ladies," and he died at the age of 78, in 1C73. The inscription on his tomb at tho abbey was much oblit erated, and under tho direction of an antiquary a man was employed to recut tho letters. The antiquary stood looking over him, so that ho should make no mistake, and to make tho time go pleas antly ho expatiated at great length to tho workman upon tho grandeur and merits of the deceased. The man even tually stopped his work, and looking up at the antiquary said, "I wish, sir, wo had known that bo was such a swell be fore we run that there drain pipe through him." A Very Ilonrtt View. Tho young man whose salary wasn't long enough by several lengths to reach to all the points ho wanted it to had been harassed that morning by numer ous persons with bills nnd bills and bills. About noon, at which time ho had lost count of them, his landlady's husband appeared with another for the past month's provender. "What's this?" he asked, displaying considerable annoyance. "Your board bill for tho month. " "Well, I'll not pay it," ho exclaimed, throwing it cn his desk. "Do all you' people think I havo no use for money ex cept to pay bills with?" and ho invited tho caller to get out. Detroit Free Press. Woolen.

Tho lato Mr. Worth, tho Parisiauking of dressmakers, ouco said that it fre quently took him as long as thrco years to educato tho publio up to ono of bis fashions, and to havo it adopted. Ho of conrso has set a great many fashions in his time, but tho dressmakers aro not ro sponsiblo for most of tho changes that tako place. It is a simpler thing for a man liko tho Princo of Wales, who is generally admitted to bo tho best dressed gcntlo man iu Europe, to change n fashion in men's clothing than it is for a lady in society to cliaugo tho fashion of tho time, or to bring in a new ono. But any of tho recognized fashion leaders, such ns tho Duchess of Sutherland, tho Countess of Dudley, Ladv- Brooke, tho Countess Gros venor or Mrs. Coruwallis West, can, if they persist long enough, bring in a fashion which will soon becomo general ly popular. For instance, tho Dnchossof Portland, after her marriage, had a Etrong inclina tion for Mahnaison carnations as button holes, and woro them on every possiblo occasion. Before that timo thoywero not much sought after, but very soon nil tho florists in Bond street and Regent street "had a great display of them in their windows. Tho Princess of Wales is not a fashion setter, but is ono of thoso most scnsiblo ladies who favor comfortablo costumes and tailor made gowns, and who docs not run to tho cxtrcmo modes. Sho dresses, however, with excellent taste. Another matter in which tho royal family aro very conservative is thoway in which they wear their hair. At tho timo when tho "bun chignon" canio in not ono of tho young princesses adopted it, although it was extremely fashionable. Curled fringes, as is well known, aro very popular with tho royal family. Sometimes tho fashions aro introduced quito by chance. A few years ago, when a well known beauty was married to a young nobleman, tho brido decreed that her bridesmaids should wear dark velvet hats with ostrich feathers. At first ov cry ono was very much surprised, but tho idea caught on, and during 1603 at two-thirds of tho fashionablo weddings dark velvet hats wero worn with light dresses. Pittsburg Dispatch. SMASHED HIS BAGGAGE. And Then the Man Who Owned the Trunk Had Something to Say. "It's queer how people stand it," said tho man .with tho baggy trousers as tho hotel baggage wagon camo up from tho depot and passed tho window. "Stand what particular thing?" was asked. "Permitting tho railroad companies to smash their trunks as they do. Thero are two on that load which will havo to go to the shop for repairs, and tho own ers will foot tho bill and not sav a word." "Well, isn't that your way?" "No, sir, and it hasn't been for a good many years. Last spring a baggage man threw my trunk off his wagon in front of a Boston hotel and busted it Ho drove off singing as I stood looking at the wreck. Half an hour later I walked in on him at tho depot and said : "I want $9 of yon.' " 'What for?' " 'For smashing my trunk in front of the Continental "'You get out! Trunks are liablo to bo damaged, and whoever heard of any one having to pay for them?' " 'I'll show you a case right off. You had no more license to bust that trunk than you had to bust my head. You either come down or I'll begin proceed ings.' "What will you do?" " 'I'll sue you tho first thing tomor row. I'll not only suo you, but I'll gar nishee your wages. I'll mako it cost you at least $20 to get cut of it, even if you don't pay for tho trunk.' "Ho blustered and defied me," said tho man of tho trousers "but before, 10 o 'clock ho came to tb. hotel and offered mo $7 to settle. I took a written prom ise on his part to handle all trunks with reasonable consideration thereafter and closed the case. He admitted to mo that he had probably damaged 5,000 trunks in his life, but that no one had ever kicked before. Ho didn't suppose a trunk owner had tho slightest legal right on earth, and ho probably didn't get over looking pale for a week." Detroit Free Press. Cheap Lodging For a Prince. Accidentally a bill of an inn at Pas scier, Tyrol, was discovered among tho papers of a recently deceased member of tho official household of Emperor Wil liam I, which gives an idea of tho cost of living at that time. In 1831 William, then princo of Prussia, with a suit of six companions, stopped at tho inn. Tho lodging for tho company amounted to 12 kreutzer 5 cents. Tho breakfast coffee was more expensive, however 0 kreut zer for each cup I. e., 24 cents. A dish of milk was 1 cent, thrco eggs for 1 cent. Tho dinner at tho inn, consisting of soup, meat, roast, fruit, preserves and wine, cost 27 kreutzer each, or less than 11 cents apiece. Tho total expense of lodging, breakfast and dinner for the party amounted to 2 florins and 25 kreutzer, or about 00 cents. St. Elmo's Light. Tho atmospheric delusion known as St Elmo's fire, or St. Elmo's light, gets its namo from a curious old legend of St. Adelelm, who, having started ono dark and stormy night to visit tho bishop of Auvergne, lighted a candlo to guido him on tho way. It was wholly unpro tected by anything liko a covering; but, notwithstanding tho fact that tho wind blow furiously and tho rain fell in tor rents, "it continued to burn with a bright and steady flame. " Tho news of this miraculous occurrence soon spread iu all Catholic countries and soon found placo in tho monkish manuscripts.whcre it was declared that tho good Adololm must havo really been nttended by St Elmo and his fire.
