A SINGULAR MISTAKE.
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,

BACKED OUT AT THE ALTAR.
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.

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. " -
