Beautiful "Protection."
John Jai:i:ett, the retiring
president of the Amalgamated
Association, has been employed by
the American Iron and Tin Plate
Association as general managing
agent to take charge of the matter
of working up high tariff senti
ment in favor of this industry.
Which in plain English means
that though there is no tin plate
manufactured in this country yet
John Jarrett wants to tax such
men as the Columbia river salmon
packcrs,the California fruit can
ners, and indirectly every man,
woman and child in the United
States that uses canned goods, so
that he and his associates can
start a manufactory of tin plate in
Pennsylvania. lie wants to make
money and can't do it without be
ing "protected" so that he wants
the U; S. government to cinch
several million people to "protect"
some few hundreds who might
start a tin plate manufactory if the
inducements were made sufficient.
It is now thirty years since
Disraeli said that an Irishman
aimed to rule all countries but his
own. It seems that the Irish are
ruling one country, and success
fully for themselves and the coun
try itself. The present English
minister to the United States,
Hon. L. S. West, is authority for
the statement the Argentine Re
public in South America is ruled
by Irishmen who have grown rich
at sheep farming, and that that
country is law abiding and prosper
ous. It is also stated that Chili is
largely Irish, and that her present
powess is due to the fact that
Irishmen are in command of the
Chilean army and nary. South
America is a large country and
offers great inducement to the
Irish immigrant, but if Irishmen
would retain their prosperity in
that or any . other country they
must ostracise (."Dynamite Rossa

Awout six months from now
presidential candidates will be
named by two, possibly three
conventions. To name or make a
presidential candidate has long
been a favorite amusement in and
out of newspaper offices. The
New York JSun is making a seri
ous effort to select the Democratic
presidential candinate and frowns
at all suggestions other than those
which point to Congressman
Holman, of Indiana. It devotes
several columns of nearly every
issue to Holman and his praises,
and from savin": a month ago that
Holman should be elected, it now
declares that he shall be elected,
which is but additional proof of
the old adage that even with a
great newspaper like the Xim, it
is "but a step from the sublime to
the ridiculous."
Devout Moslems confidently
predict the end of the world on
November Sth, the close of the
Mohammedan thirteenth century
Tradition declares that in the pres
ent month, during the Ramadan
fast, the sun shall rise in the west,
the day of mercy and forgiveness
shall cease, and that of judgment
and retribution begin. Thus, a
proclamation has been issued from
Mecca warning all true believers
to prepare for the coming day
which has been widely circulated
and has created a great impres
sion. .
Mex who look upon air naviga
tion as a practical possibility are
no longer pronounced as "cranks."
The French are working harder
for success in this direction than
any other people. Speaking of
navigating the air, a great math
metician says if it can be done at
all it will be done soon.
.In Atlantic Ga., recently, the
representative of a flash illustrated
New York weekly was fined 1
000 for distribu ting it in that ci
with a choice of serving in
the
chain gang if he don't pay the fine
The hop crop of foreign coun
tries, on the whole, is not equal to
an average return, and, as in Ger
many, Austria and Belgium, the
tocks of old hops are unusually
small, the importation of hops
nto England will be under the
average, and will not much ex
ceed 200,000 hundred weight. In
England the quantity of hops in
tock is remarkably small. It is
believed that it is unprecedentedly
small.
Tiie question of drying up the
Zuyder Zee is being actively dis
cussed in Holland. The royal in
stitute of engineers purposes hold
ing shortly a public meeting of
their body at Amsterdam to thor
oughly examine the scheme for
arrying out this idea by connect
ing with strong dykes all the
islands that form its outer fringe,
and so permanently excluding all
inflow from the North sea.
Reports to. Bradstreet's Jour
nal from all parts of the country
indicate that the industrial situa
tion is much better than has hith
erto been supposed. Except in a
few industries, it says, orders are
up to the standard of former years
or in excess thereof, the small
manufacturers, particularly in the
west and south are doing well,
and capital is going into new en
terprises.
TnE regular army in England
foots up 190,000 men. The re
serve is about 30,000 strong, and
the militia about 140,000, of
whom 25,000 are in the militia re
serve, and there are about 180,000
enrolled volunteers. The actual
combatant force is very different;
of the 190,000 regulars, 92,000 are
abroad; of the militia, 29,000 are
deficient from the paper strength.
Russian exiles are allowed to
choose their companions among
the condemned, to whom they
will be chained for the long jour
ney; women are fastened together
by the wrist; men by the wrist
and ankle; and it is mentioned as
i special piece of news that one
political prisoner elected to be
chained to his wife.
A German doctor recommends
bread made with sea-water as a
remedy against scrofula and dis
orders resulting from insufficient
nourishment. Sea-water ought to
stand twelve hours before beinjr
used for making dough, in order
to free it from impurities. Bread
made with it has no unpleasant
taste.
It is said that 100,000 children
in New York city support them
selves. Many of them probably
have to support their parents also.
The Crow Indians were very de
sirous to trade with the Yillard ex
