Mr. Dolph'a taiiff speech of January 19th exposes the falsity of the claim of the Chicago platform that a protective "tariff is unconstitutional, showing that in 1780 the prim&ry objtct of the Consti tution was to draft and vote a bill giv ing protection to American manufac tures, which were killed by the large imports of manufactured goods from Great Britain. It was the second bill passed, and was fathered by Washing ton and Madison. This was a period of absolute free trade. The country was flooded with British goods, and the money of the country was exhaused in paying for them. Great discontent was manifest and insurrections were fre quent. Washington, who was yet pres ident, despaired of the perpetuity of the republic. The country was in as com plete financial slavery to Great Britain as it was before the war. Congress had no right under the constitution to levy a tariff for the acceptance of the states. It was for this purpose fhat a congress of all the states was called, and a new Constitution drafted. The first bill passed was one providing for oaths 'of officers and the second a tariff bill. It was the occasion of great rejoicing. Confidence was at once restored, the fires were started in the furnaces, and wool, iron and steel were wrought, em ploying the idle and establishing a firm basis for national prosperity. No such approach to free trade has ever since been had by the United States, and suc ceeding history shows that whenever tariff has been increased 'prosperity has kept pace with it, and whenever it has been decreased, prosperity has decreased in like ratio. A commission is now sitting in San Francisco taking evidence as to the working of what is known as the Tor rens system of land transfer, as it exists in Australia and portions of Europe. This method of recording title enables one search into the records, accompa nied by registration, to answer all pur poses of transfer, and is thus a sure mode of establishing proprietorship, and is very economical in the costs of transfer. Any plan which simplifies and cheapens transfer and gives abso lute security is certain to be welcomed by real estate dealers and buyers. The commission is understood to be in favor of the Torrens system in general, but there are points of detail to adjust, and it does not favor compulsory application. If the Wilson bill becomes a law it will be the most flagrant case on record of political obstinacy. Millions are re monstrating against it, and not a private individual has petitioned for it. The Wilson bill is said to be a good deal like the tariff of 1883, which was n.uch more moderate than at present, except in the matter of coal, iron' and wool, which are on the free list. These three exceptions, however, are gigantic and sufficient to wreck the industrial activity of several states, of which Oregon is one. A great objection to the Wilson bill is that it represents no settled policy. The prom ise is clearly made that it is only a step towards free trade and other bills will be drafted from time to time more and more in accordance with the Chicago platform of 1892. If there is anything that will kill business it is an unstable tariff. Business must be adjusted on settled lines. If the assurance could be . had that the Wilson bill would not be changed, even under that measure busi ness would revive, and there would be a partial prosperity. But a bill that tries to carry water on both shoulders is a delusion and a snare. The tariff, like any other issue, should be squarely met. -If free trade is the best policy for the United States, come out with a free trade bill, pure and simple, and let it be adopted or rejected, and the same will apply to a tariff for revenue only. The Wilson bill is neither one nor the other, represents no policy, hence cannot last long, and meanwhile business is in a worBe shape than it has been since 1856, ' A Chance Very Seldom Offered.

How Tonne Englishwoman Thwarted Her Father's Matrimonial Flans. If all the yotiirg' women were like Miss Amy Lambert it would be a train in tr to parents in the way they should go. Mr. Lambert, the father of Miss Amy, was a signaler in the government telegraph office at' Alla habad, India. Probably he had been influenced by what he saw of life in India. At any rate, he regarded his daughter much as he did the telegraph instruments in his office. With those he pressed a button 'and it recorded whatever he wanted it to. He ex pected Miss Amy to do the same. Finally Mr. Passana, a dusky gentle man, in the employ of a native prince, met the daughter of the signaler, and she pleased him. She was so eminent ly satisfactory to his fancy that he forthwith announced to her father that he wished to marry her. The telegraph operator thought it over. Court gentlemen, even if rather swarthy ones, were not to be had every day, and it behooved the father of a family of daughters to allow possible wooers to come early and often. So he announced to Miss Amy that her future was arranged for and to pre pare for the wedding on such and such a day. When the astonished young woman recovered from her snprise she assured her father that she liked not the rajah's brunette courtier, and that to the best of her knowledge the wed ding would not come off. Her father pooh-poohed this outburst, told her to draw on him for all she needed for a suitable trousseau, and took himself off to drink with his future son-in-law. Then it was that Miss Amy Lambert made up her mind as to a course of ac tion. During the succeeding weeks, although she repeatedly and decisive ly told her father that she could not and would not be happy with Mr. Passana, she nevertheless,-finding that no heed was paid to her remonstrances, joined with interest in the prepara tions for the wedding. At last the day of the ceremony arrived. Miss Amy Lambert, dressed in a beautiful new grown, and with a pleasant conscious ness that she had more new clothes at home than she had ever dreamed of possessing all at once, rode to the church in company with her father, who, beholding her placid and satisfied face, told himself what a wise father he had been. "All one needs," said the telegraph operator to himself, "is a little firm ness. Silly girls should never be al lowed to have their own way in these matters." " And all the time the bride-elect smiled softly to herself, as if her thoughts were peculiarly ""pleasant. The clergyman, liev. Brook Deedes, thought he had never seen a happier looking couple and began the cere mony with the warm expectation of a goodly fee. He bowled merrily along until he reached the question: "Will you have this man to be your wedded i husband?" He expected a faint "I ! will," but was almost paralyzed to re- i ceive an emphatic negative from the young woman, who at the same time I handed him a document setting forth j some of her objections. Of course the wedding did not come off. The guests dispersed in various directions, some of them going to con dole with the determined young wom an's father, who was expected to be much downcast. Strange to say, how over, he was so delighted with his daughter's strategy that he was quite hilarious over the affair and did not even begrudge her the fine new wardrobe she had acquired. What became of the bridegroom history (in the shape of the Allahabad News) does not record, but after this he will probably not at tempt to marry an English girl against her will. A BEAR'S REVENGE. An Old Grizzly Lies In Wait for the Pos sible Transgressor. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, writing of grizzly bears in his book, "The Wilder ness Hunter," relates a story told him by Dr. Merrill, of the United States army. "A remarkable incident," Mr. Roosevelt calls it. Dr. Merrill, in company with an old hunter, was fol lowing an elk trail in a deep, narrow canyon. - On turning a corner of the canyon, the two men were charged on by an old she grizzly, so close that it was only by good luck that one of their hurried shots disabled her and sent her tumbling over a bank, where she was easily finished. They found that she had been lying directly across the game trail on a smooth, well-beaten patch of bare earth, which looked as if it had been dug up, refilled, and trampled down. Examining this patch curiously, they saw a bit of hide only partially cov ered at one end, and on digging they found the body of a well-grown grizzly cub. Its skull had been crushed and the brains licked out, and there were signs of other injuries. - The hunters pondered long over this strange discovery, and hazarded many guesses as to its meaning. At last they decided ; that probably the cub had been killed and its brains eaten, either by some old grizzly or by a cougar; that the mother had returned and driven away the murderer, and that she had then buried the body and lain above it, waiting to wreak her ven geance on the first passer-by. Sealing Wax St 111 Used In Franoe. In France sealing wax has by ' no means gone out of use as a conse quence of the introduction of gummed envelopes. There is even a sort of code or language of sealing wax among fashionable people. White sealing wax is chosen for communica tions relating -to weddings, black for obituaries, violet for expressions of .sympathy, chocolate for invitations to dinner, red for -business, ruby for en gaged lovers' letters, green for letters from lovers who live in hopes, and brown for refusals of offers of mar riage, while blue denotes constancy, yellow jealousy, pale green reproaches, and pink is used by. young girls and gray between friends. - V MISSOURI SltfAKE CATCHERS. A Queer Industry Carried On Alone the Mississippi. The Keptiles Forsake the Low Lands la ths) Fall and Seek the Bluffs, Where They Hibernate Through Winter. The cool fall weather affords the careful observer a fine opportunity for noting one of the curious things in nature the migration of snakes, says the Alton correspondent of the St. Louis Republic These reptiles look up their winter quarters, and these quarters in this vicinity may be found in the bluffs which line the river bank above the city. All the snakes which spend the summer in the bottom lands of Missouri point, just opposite, make their way across the river to the bluffs, where they hibernate until the gentle breezes of spring thaw them out, when they slip down the shale and debris which underlie the bluffs and again seek the lowlands. The crossing of the river is a very simple matter for them. They simply swim over, and many are killed by fishermen while making this crossing. An old resident of the bluffs above this city states that he has seen the time in November when the river could not be crossed in a skiff, especial ly in the middle of the day when it was warmest, without at least a dozen snakes being seen swimming for tin; bluffs, and he has frequently killed a half dozen rattlesnakes with an oar while going to and from Alton. ' A hunter along these bluffs lately saw an old man who appeared to be looking very intently at the water with a field-glass, and, curious to dis cover what it meant, joined bim at the edge of the water. The man had with him besides . the field-glass a heavy sack and a curious pair of long wooden tongs, and in answer to questions said he was a snake catcher, watching the surface of the water the while. Presently he sighted a snake swim ming for shore a short distance above where he was standing, and proceeded to meet him with hi3 tongs, with which he picked up the snake as he landed. It proved to be a black snake, and was dropped into the sack without further ado. During the next hour he caught two water snakes, a garter snake and a spreading adder. The last he put in his sack and turned out the others, saying that they were "no good ." The old man had grown quite friend ly by this time, and a visit, by invita tion, was paidto his cabin boat, in the backroom of which he' had corraled over fifty live and hissing snakes, which he said he sold to a party in St. Louis, who resold them to others for different purposes. The trick of catch ing them he had learned when a boy from Indians, who would come down to the bluffs and catch rattlesnakes as they crossed the river. These Indians used to catch them with boats, and raid them to a man at the fort. lie had learned something that the In dians did not know, however, and that is that a man can catch more snakes along the shore with half the work. Snake catching is followed every fall of the year here by a number of men who appear to find recreation, excite ment and profit in the occupation, while at the same time they are rid ding the neighborhood of some very ucdesirable visitors and thus con ferring a benefit on their fellowman. MUMBLING LECTURERS. How English Audiences Are Entertained by Men of Science. Nothing can surpass the patience of the British audience at certain of these lectures. We have been present, says writer in the London Globe, on one such occasion . when a distinguished. but perfectly unintelligible, member of the Royal society engrossed the at tention of about nine hundred ladies and gentlemen from eight o'clock until ten. What he was saying no one knew. Ie mumbled on unremittingly and the company loudly applauded him in the intervals,' when he drew breath for a fresh lease of incoherence. But he held a long rod in his hand and periodically he raised it and pointed at an enigmatic agglomeration of lines, which were believed to be an illustra tion. This of itself alone would have satisfied his audience, coupled, of course, with the spectacle of his own respectable person. And when the lecture was over the secretary compli mented the old gentleman on his most instructive discourse, there was a rush of eager seconders of t lie resolutiou, and the general public streamed out, yawning and happy. This gentleman received twenty-five guineas for his effort, and it is not known to this day what he was talking about. There is no civilization in the world to equal that of the average provincial audience at -a lecture. It tolerates all things uncomplainingly. We have known these kindly people endure a long se ries of lantern slides upside down with out a murmur, though their pictorial matter was believed to be of a very ex citing nature.
