TheSenst* Tariff BUI*
[Tfe INhIm.]
TbaSeoato Tariff Bill oiarka ao
era I* th* great political oootrover
*j wow going oa and wbioh la to
oootiDRe tor aome jerra to eome.
When the Chicago Convention met
In Ibe month of Jane last, it waa
under the influence oftbe House
debate on the Milla bill, in which
the Bepnbioan position had been
that of stiff and nubending opposi
tion to^ny lowering ot the rates of
deties on any protected articles. It
waa also under the Oregon elto-
tioo, which held ont the hope that
the ‘’cyclone of fear’ would sweep
the whole conntiy as it did sweep
one small State on the Pacific,
where there bad been no discussion
of tbe tariff^ and where two special
interests, wool and lumber, were
all powerful. Under these false
guides, the Convention committed
tbe stupeudons blunder of resolv
ing that there shook! be no reduc
tion of protective duties on any ar
ticle, and that rather than reduce
any snob dnties the whole imeraal-
reveuue system should be abolish
ed. This public declaration of tbe
party creed was made only four
mouths ago. Nothing coaid be
plainer or more imperative, It
forbade any reduotiou of the duties
on sugar, or steel rails, or struc
tural iron, or barytes, or jute, or
anything el.-e that is produced iu
this country. It commanded tbe
BegoUicaus iu Congress, when coo
fronted by the necessity of reduc
ing the surplus, to proceed in a cer
tain way, vm., fint to reduce tbe
taxes on tobacco and on alcohol
used in the arts, then to reduce the
dnties ou articles not produced iu
this country (except luxuries), and
third, to re|ieai all the taxes on dis
tided aui fermented liquors and
o'eomargariue.
Now, what has the Senate Fin
ance Committee donef How has
it carried out its instruction f It
has knocked ibis precious platform
into flinders by leporting a bill to
reduce the duties on sugar one-half,
and to ted ace those on steel rails
(torn 917 to 115,68 per ton, those
on structural iron from 938 to
•24 60 per too, « bile the same bill
puts several articles produced iu
this coniitry and now protected by
the tatitt'ou the free list. Hence
forth the principle has gone out of
the Bepubiican creed. The party
no lougcr has any guiding and
goveruiug idea, it uas ’‘spu upon
lire platform” as contemptuously as
Horace Ureetoy and the Northern
Whigs performed that office for
their platform when Gen. Scott was
running for the Presidency iu 1852.
But although the Chicago pluiiorm
has been thus abused and defied
by Us own high priests, the party
remains true to its favorite proteges.
The duties on wool, the very a bom
iuatiou ot tbe tariff^ tbe mslu hind
rance to the expansion of the wool
en iudusty, and the chief oppression
Of the poorer classes, arc actually
increased in this bill, and, what is
more wonderful, the dnties on oar
pet wools, which are not produced
iu this country, are increased also.
The reason for tbe latter increase
la that some carpet wools can be
used for the coarser kinds of cloth
ing, and thus come into oompeti-
Hon iu u round about way with

have b*eu hoping for a redaction

The Constlonal Amendment.
(Pm Dm Index.)
At the approaching general elec
tion two amendments to the State
Couatitutioc will be snmmitted to
tbe p< ople for ratifleatioa. One of
three is to nuke the term of office
of tbe Probate Judge four years in
stead of two aa at present and the
other one to make tbe office of
School Commissioner an appointive
instead of an elective one aaat
present
Tbe idea of making this office an
appointive one under present cir
comstanoes is absurd. The Gover
Dot’s power to appoint officers has
been taken from him and he can
appoint only as tbe county prima
rise and eonventioiia dictate.
The offices of Treasurer and ot
Auditor are nominally appointive
but the Governor is allowed no dis
cretion in the appointment of those
officers. The Democratic voters in
eaeh county have gradually and
quietly usurped the Governor’s
power to appoint certain county
officers. Under these circumstan
eee it would hardly be possible that
better and more efficient officers
could be had if the office of School
Commissioner were appointive than
it elective, as at present.
However there are two or three
counties which tbe Radicals still
control and Democratic School
Commissioners could be appointed
in these if tbe office were ao ap
pointive one. With this exception
we ate no good that can be acor
pliabed by the propoeed change.

This cattle disease, which was
so fatal iu this Ccrnty about 30
years, ago, is reported as having
made its appearance among tbe
cattle of Wabec Township and a
number of them have recently died
from this or some similar disease.
It is ao less fatal to tbe deer—no
less than the carcasses of (5) deer
having been recently found on tbe
plantation of Mr. Jerry Holdeo

Youth and beauty and cleverness are
often to be found in the same person; ft
would be wonderful if they were not to
be found in the same group. The Amer
ican girl who marries in England has be
gun life earlier than her English cousin.
She has met men and even talked to
them while yet unmarried, a thing which
few English girls venture to do. She
las probably lived in Paris; part of her
education is French; she knows three of
the great capitals of the world; her ideas
are not hounded by the horizon of May-
fair. She is fresh, original, independ
ent She cannot always be clever, but
she bee been taught to think for herself,
and never was there a more apt pupil in
that science. Above all, perhaps, she
was not bora into a respect for rank, or
even for royalty, and she catches there
fore at once that note of equality which
is essential to social success—In London
as much as anywhere in the world—as
well as to intellectual freedom.
It was always said that the secret or
one secret of American popularity In
royal Circles was in this American free
dom from the purely conventional no
tion about royalty which prevails ia
England. A girl from New York talked
to the Prince of Wales as if royalty had
no more rights than republicanism. She

The American Statistical iiwnHsItm
publishes some Interesting figures on tbe
amount of water power employed in the
United States. In 1880 there was a total
water power equal to 1,820,878 beam
power used for manufacturing purposes,
this being 88.8 per cent of the total
power thus «nployed in the elates. The
annual value of the waterpower thus
utilised is set down at 124,000,000. The
New England states alone use 84.8 per
cent, of the whole water power of the
country, and altogether the Atlaatto

charged five shillings for a quantity at
old tavern in Lynn in 16.10. This nun was
also the basis of several other popular
beverages Its sale reached a compara
tively great magnitude, principally in the
forty or fifty years that followed tbe
American revolution. It waa nearly all
distilled In this section of the country
and in towns in close proximity to Bee-
ton, hence the name of New England
was affixed to the intoxicant
A bandied years ago there were sixty
distilleries in full working order in New
England, the bulk of the product being
from Salem, Medford and Newport B. L
The "old Medford” of today originally
gained its distinction from the town
where tt waa made, and wae not consid
ered ae good as that of Salem, which was
especially noted for its good quality, and
that town turned out a vast quantity also,
being at the head of the list in regard to
number and capacity of distilleries. Bos
ton, too, had a small share in the fame
of producing this liquid, but tbe Hub
dealers, like those of today, were not dis
tillers, but usually jobbers, who dealt In
the suburban goods.
In those days it was not necessary for
a man to enter any ‘ Utile side door. ’*
nor was bo ashamed to tell his wife that
he was intoxicated and she most take
care of him. Neither did he have to
give a wink to the seller, nor did he ever
call for Schiedam Schnapps, brandy
oooktail, plum Juice or even our every
day lager, for those drinks were unheard
of then. The tight of tin pails and jogs
filled with liquor was not at aU uncom
mon on oar streets. Cordials made from
snakeroot and anise seed were sold large
ly, often peddled about the streets the
same aa lemonade venders ply their trade
nowadays on the Boston streets.
The doctors of the old school were
more liberal in prescribing liquor for
penons in delicate health titan at tho
present time, owing to the fact that
there waa virtually no objection to its
use. The cordials of anise seed, etc.,
were mostly gotten up at Medford, Salem
and Lynn.
There wae another decoction known as
"blackstrap," which was made of New
England rum and molasses, mixed in
proportion to salt the taste of the buyer.
This was, of course, considerably clieuper
than tbs straight article, anti conse
quently was tl>e favorite drink of tirasn
who could not afford anything lictter.
Another drink was composed of rum and
sugar, then known as "a horn,” and
rum daslted with hot water and called
"toddy,” often drunk by tho well to do
gentlemen on cold winter evenings along
with the eating of apples, which was a
favorite custom hereabouts.
A drink composed at
thingebs was called "grog.” h
ally meant rum diluted with
was more often with a cordial or some
thing of that nature. The name of
"grog” was derived In a singular way.
It is said that once Admiral Vernon, in
the British navy, and who was noted for
his generous nature, was wont to deal
out an allowance of this drink to his
sailors. He wore what was called a

One important occasion was on a day
that somebody’s pig was to lx* killed.
Such an occasion required the service* of
tliroe or four men, who took an after
noon to do the work, while the town took
a half holiday. Such an Important oc
casion as this would be an utter fizzle
were not a large supply of rum on hand
ready to use, and it sometimes cost the
owner more than tbe pig was worth to
furnish the drinks. Another occasion of
note was election day, when every man
drank for the good luck of his favorite
candidate, and after the event was over,
again drank on account of success or
hoping for better luck next year.—Bos

A cork, if cut into a cube or small
brick, bears a close resemblance in minia
ture to many kinds of stone. When a
number of these are combined they look
like old specked and indented masonry.
They abound in brown or brownish gray
spots and Utile cavities. Therefore, If
you take a number of such cork bricks
and construct from them the model of a
small houss with care it will present
a very pretty appearance. They are
easily fastened together by passing wire
or small rods through them or by ghiing
them together. *

■inoethe days of Jericha Yet there are
numcrooe tnetanwe where fine have been

with their origin, and eo completely out-

stances of the happening of the unex

refer to the fires extinguished by auto
matic sprinklers, where the result is
dearly what haa been expected to happen.
Notwithstanding the fact that when a
fire occurs on property protected by auto
matic sprinklers, those present avail them
selves of all the mt-ans of grace in the
diapc of tlie usual fire up] stratus at hand,
yet there are numerous instances where
fires lave occurred at night or In rooms

been made known only by water per

of tho automatic fire alarms, or from tbe
sprinklers which have already come into
active operation, the fire laving called

But the instance* which we have in
mind are those wlmv the means of ex
tinguishment were not oxi«cted, as in
the well known cathedra! building In
Boston, where a fire, caused by sponta
neous ignition in a storeroom, melted foe
lead water pipes, and the water issuing
from them cxtinguLlted tlie fire. A sim
ilar instance happened in a building iu
Market street, Philadelphia. Some sheet
metal pails were returned by the pur
chaser to a tinsmith in Chester, Pa., with
the complaint that they were not tightly
titadc. The manufacturer rosoldered
them, and in order to test his work filled
tltein with water and hung them upon
hooks at the ceiling. While tlw men
were at dinner during the noon hour, a
fire heated the upper |»rt of the room
so tlal the lull* connecting tlw handles
to tlie pails L'catn.’ unsoldered, and tlw
dropping of tiio paiLof water daslted out
tiioAre.
Some waste left upon tho top of u
steam pump at Watertown, Mass.,
blazed from spontaneous ignition, and
tills in turn set tire to tlie lugging around
tbe steam cylinders and the feed pipe,
where it melted tlie soldered attach
ments of a continuous automatic oiler.
The steam from the feed pipe was dis
charged through tbe small tubes formerly
leading to the oiler, and extinguished the
fire. TImtu have been numerous In-
stances of (Inst which liave censed for

bellion uttemi** were made to burn New
York city, as tlie rosclt of a conspiracy,
fires being started in several hotels; but
in order to prevent premature detection
tho culprits closed up tlw rooms ao tightly
that the Area wore emothered. At a
Intel in Woonsocket the steam pipes
caused a fire in tlie spaces ia the walls of
the building, which was extinguished for
want of air to support combustion. Tbe
time of tlw fire is unknown, as its occur
rence was not discovered until some time
afterward, when in the progreM of some
alteration to tlw building tlw facts were
made apparent.
It may be Interesting to know that
iu this in*tancv tho etenm heating service
| was ordinarily used at a prrenurv of about
four pound* to the square Inch during the
coldest weather, and that Ux*safety valve
was so arranged that the pressure could
never exceed ten pounds. A spark at

ignited Waking gas. and this fat turn art
cotton on fire, which operated the autorna-
tio sprinklers and extinguished it. An at

tlie buildings were entirely finished.
Some people, alarmed by tho smoko
which was seen in each division of the

portable fixtures, when it was noticed
that tlw fires did not appear to gain any
headway, and when the smoko liad en

Tbs Denunctatlou of Noise.
“I can bear the boat very well,’’said a
student forced to R|iend a summer in tlw
city, “but I cannot endure thenoiso.”
Possibly be dkl not stop to consider that,
in making such n declaration, he placed
himanlf in illustrious comnuiy. Thomas
Gariylo ‘‘could not abide’* a noise, espe
cially that of the morning crowing of
cocks. Wallenstein, accustomed as be
was to the din of battle, hod an uncon
querable dread of the barking ef dogs,
and even the clatter of tho large spun
fashionable in his day. In order to in
sure quiet, he engaged twelve patrols to
make regular circuits about bis house
night and day.
Neither Julias Cseear nor tlie philoso
pher, Kant, could tolerate tlw crowing
of poor chqnticleer, who, indeed, seems
to have very few friends among the studi
ous and sensitive. Schopenhauer exceeds
almost all lovers of quiet iu tlw extrava

declares that the amount which a man
