THE NORTHWEST
The Protective Tariff Protects
th Rich.
Only
The Illinois coal miners seem to for
got that there- iV high, prohibitive
tariff upon coal which affords ample
protection for labor. They are carry
ing banners, inscribed -with this
strange device, "Bread or Blood, 'I, in
apparent ignorance of , the fact that
their labor is amply protected. By
consulting the revised statues of the
United .States and the recent tariff act,
they will find that they can not stand
in need of broad, and hence can not
want blood,, it is a strange phenome
na that a man will sometimes think he
wan to a thing when it is demonstrable
by a legal enactment, primed in good
bold type, that is the very thing he
can not possibly want. What the
Illinois miner want is to repent of
their doubt and to sing tlio praises of
protection to coal which secures them
with wages .to buy bread, and pro
tects them against the pauper coal and
labor of Europe and Canada.
The Republican Platform iu Ohio.
I'hiladelpMa Record.
It is hot upon party platforms that
tbiB off-year campaign in Ohio will be
made, but upon trie record of the last
State Legislature. Among the acts
of this Legislature was the submission
of a prohibitory amendment to a vote
- of the people, and this action is hearti
ly approved in the resolutions of the
Columbus Convention. By putting
the Scott License law in one resolution
and the proposition to Submit & pro
hibitory amendment in another, the
shrewd purpose is to catch all the
gudgeons in the political pool. The
liquor sellers are expected to eagerly
rush to the embrace of the Republican
party and the Scott law in their dread
of a prohibitory amendment, and the
aquarians are already charged with
obstinate ingratitude if they refuse to
support the party which submitted
their question of prohibition to the
people. When Mephistopheles too"k
hold of the spigot in Auerbach's wine
cellar, his diabolical skill enabled him
-to pour out for his guests every variety
of liquor from the same cask. The
'design of the magician of Mansfield
in this platfosm is to afford something
for the gratification of all tastes in
Ohio from rum to rain water. But he
has over reached himself in bis cun
ning, ine customers who want rum
suspect he has nothing to offer them but
rain water; and those who insist only
on rain water suspect that his platform
smeilshorrably of rum. When sub
jected to closo inspection,the Ohio plat
form is found to be a bad compound
of rum and rain water.
Where Bread is Cheap.
It was a sad, sad sight, in which
was blended tears and laughter. On
the Santa l'o train was a large family
ot liermans. i There were lather and
mother, brothers and sister, and a raft
of little ones. Some . were able to
crawl up and sit on a seat, others were
still at the breast. They were all
bound for the Neosho Valley. All
were tired, hungry, and worn out,
from' a four weeks', passage. ' They
had left crowded Germany, where they
had been struggling for an existence,
ana iney were going . to their new
home in the New World. When the
children cried for meat or something
better than the stale black bread the
mothers hushed them and told them
that they would soon be at Plymouth,
beyond Emporia, where they would
meet Uncle Henrich and aunt Lena,
and when they got out onto the farm
they would all have meat and milk.
"0, it will be heaven," said one of
the women, '-to live in a country where
our children can have all the milk and
meat they want!" -v t m
As the train 'passed Emporia, Kan.
the poor Germans began to raise the.
windows and admire the beautiful
country along the Santa Fe Road. The
next station was to be the long hoped
for new home. The mothers, wreathed
in smiles, began to wash the child rens'
faces for the last time. Then when
the rosy-cheeked children were fixed
they took white handkerchief's but of
their bags and put them around their
own necks.. Poor women, they had
but one dress on earth, ; but as they 1
were going to see brothers and sisters
and neighbors who 'had ' been away
from Germany and living in Kansas
five years they wanted to look as well
8 they could. . , . .
"The next station '.is the place,''" said
big healthful Germane as he - tied a
Nue handkerchief over his old,., soiled
collar, "and here we'll never: be hun
gry again. Vere my little babies can
fcare all they want to eat."
s'Will your friends rceet you at the
train?" I asked, becoming deeply in-
tereated in the poor but ow hsppy
it ow .hi
w . i- V.
group.
Ye4, they know wT-re coming
thi wmMciI they'll M down. aL. ev
ery train. Ileinricb'i farm is only two
miles off."
There they, are! waiting-for us,"
said the wife stretching her head out
of the window, and sure enough there
was a crowd of twenty American-Germans
on the platform as the train drew
np. Soon the fathers and mothers led
the way off the train, carrying the big
bundles, the children following- with
the dozen of little packages. As they
strnck the platform brothers and sis
ters and fathers and children came to
gethei in a long embrace. Every eye
was dimmed with tears. Every "voice
faltered and every throat choked with
emotion. It was the pother of great
joy. But soon they wiped their tears
away and began to laugh and pat and
smooth each other on the back. Then
the Kansas Germans led the way
across the street to a . hotel where a
big dinner was ordered. It was worth
a day's travel to see those appetites ap
peased. , In two years those German
emigrants who looked so hungry on
the cars will own good farms. "

Wrestling AVith a Carpet
From Pck,i Son.
" The pens of some of the most learned
and able writers of the age have been
directed to show us the horrible suf
fering a man endures putting up stoves
fitting stovepipes, and other delightful
and refreshing household duties, but
the grand labor which devolves upon
many men aoout tnis time 01 ne year
of Duttine down a carpet has not re-
cievad the attention it deserves. If
vou see a man on the street at this sea
son with a weary, sad, dejected look
on his face, his back bent toward and
weak, his thumbs and fingers wrapped
up in rags saturated in arnica, and who
walks witn an uncertain, imipiug uau,
like a knee sprung horse, it is pretty
safe to believe that he has just been
through the annual free-for-all wrest
ling match with a carpet, there is
probably no other household duty that
devolves upon man mat ne so neartuy
despises as that of tying his legs up in
a double bow knot, humping up in a
little wad ovor a carpet, and striving
between gasps for breath and muttering
imprecations to hit a little insignificant
tack in the corner of a room. The
tack persists in standing on its head
just at the time when the man plies tho
hammer with a irenziea enort, ana he
stops a moment to let aoout lour gal
lons of prespiration soak out him. It is
worth double the price of admission to
watch a man put down' a carpet,
and men who are not troubled with
such laborious and heartrending du
ties have been known to go more miles
to see a man attempt to "down" a re
bellious carpet than they would to see
the biggest prize fight that ever was.
From the time the victim begins ; to
think about his prospective task he is
mad, and he grows madder, until the
grand tableau that usually takes place
about the time the task is halt tin
ished, and puffing like a whale,he goes
down town and hires a man to come
up and, tackle the carpet. Butr he
usually commences by taking the car
pet in a roll and throwing it down
in the center of the room, where
he stands and glares at it and swears
he will have it down in fifteen minutes
at the outside. , He drags a corner of
the carpet up into a corner of the
room and puts in the first tack "just
as easy, and he keeps on along one
side of the room, . driving in a tack,
pounding the "mop boards," and
knocking his thumb and fingers at
every other rap. Then he gets madder.
He proceeds to stand or sit on the
very part of the carpet that he wants
to stretch up to the side ol the room,
and he pants like a locomotive, and
wears off some more skin from his
hands. ' His knees get sorer every
minute, he gets a crick in the back
and he perspires like a tin water cooler
on a hot summer dav. About the
time he is so mad that it seems as
though he would burst, and his boots
are lull of perspiration, ana he makes
a last convulsive offort to lift the car
pet up that he is standing on and hold it
in plaae with his teeth, and his head
wedged against the wall, he strikes
wildly at where he supposes the tack
to be, and mashes his thumb flatter
than the proceeding of the star route
trial; he - jumps ; up with a yell and
swears that is the last time: he : will
ever touch a carpet, and goes and hires
some one to do it, just as he always
had done before. There are thous
and of men in this country' wha never
will know what it is to labor with
carpet and stand on their heads in a
hot room for hours at a time, but there
is a very large class of deserving men
who are 'compelled' to suffer : at 'the
hands of the treacherous carpet, and.
they I are worthy of the Jvarihest sym
pathy "ottneir more lormnate leiiow

Her Bible Would Be Safe There.
"There was greater fear of, but less
faith in, Jefferson," saya somebody in
the July Harper's, "than his relative
exhibited, among the Northern feder
alists, who firmly believed Jhat he. was
little tetter than Anticltfisfc":!, A' story
illustrative of the state of feeling with
regard to the French party is related
of a- pjou9 bid federalist lady who lived
inVtowi'iir Connrfetieut ft Wat be-
lievedJriAer neighborhood, that if the
federwiSu vwetii overthrown, . and the
Jefferson democrats came into power,:
the Christian religion , would be put
down and atheism proclaimed, -and
among the first persecutions would be
the destruction of all Bibles. ' The la-!
jdy referredto was terribly wrought
np at this prospect, and cast about in
ber Biiod how he should pitwrrt the
Script trret "fn the general -destruction.
At. length it occurred to her to go to
Inquire jSj-ri the tj jjdempcrt upon
his mercy, sue accordingly too it ner
family Bible to tiim, and telling biin
that she bad benrd of the intention
of the JeffersonUns, asked kbim' to
keep it for her. The Squire attempted
to persuade her . that her fears were
groundless, but, she was' too panic
stricken to be convinced. At last he
said:-' -
" 'My good woman, if all the Bibles
are to be destroyed, what i the use of
your bringing yours to me? That will
not save it when it is found.' ' - -
l,0h yes,' she pleaded, with a
charming burst of trust. "Yon take
it; it wUl be perfectly safe. They'll
never think of looking in the house of
a democrat for a Bible.' "
Knee Breeches Coming.
'You may say what you please,"
said a fashionable tailor to a reporter
ot the World, as they looked at a com
pany of stout fellows in bicycle uni
form, "but kee breeches are the com
ing things." -
i "That depends upon the size of the
legs iu the future perhaps.'.': .
--'"By no meaus.' It's bound to come,
3lim calves or fat ones.. .1 tell you the
long legged trouser business has seen
its day. 1'be most troublesome thing
about making a pair of trousers is to
get a fit at.the fool. There isn't one
man in ten who has a foot upon which
a trouser's leg will fall and bend grace
fully. The instep is too low or too
high,, the foot is too long for the ' 'size
of the leg, or too short; something is
the matter, nine cases out of ten. Then
there's the matter of knees, which lias
caused j more men' to commit-" suicide
than women or' wine everdid. To
have trousers that bag at the knees
is anything more maddening? Yet
bag they will. Yes, I knew that knee
breeches lost in the contest that arose
about this subject fifty or sixty years
ago. But that made no difference.
That was a time of boots and thin
calves. Nobody' wears boots now.
And our legs have got bigger. Men
have to wear garters anyhow to keep
their socks up a sort of a male com
promise kind of a garter. Why not
be honest, and wear a real honest gar
ter?"
"But Oscar Wilde and Miss Kate
Field tried to start this Doom."
That's the reason it didn't go. No
body but dudes would do what Wilde
did, and the spindle shank dudes don't
want kneebreeches, ol course. I
should say notl Miss Kate Field
what does she know about it? She
couldn't do any thing but talk, and
men weren't going to show their legs
just because she wished to see - them.
Stout, sensible,' muscular fellows must
take up the boom and it'll go. You
may count on the tailors. They're
tired of this .ankle trousers kind of
business." : ! ' 1 1 ? " ,

entered a saloon on Mam street, threw
down an American dollar and called
for a drink. The barkeeper waited on
him and handed back a Mexican dollar.

then at the barkeeper, then in a tone
of surprise he asked: "Is this all
right, stranger?" The barkeeper an

Feed For Old Horses.
A pair of old horses which cannot
keep in good condition on oats, as they
swallow them whole, have wintered in
excellent condition on corn. They
were fed corn in the ear so long as it
lasted, and now they are doing equally
as well on it shelled. They are given
two quarts at a feeding, getting six
quarts a day with straw. One of them,
more than a quarter of a century old,
looks fine and does his share of the
work. He masticates the corn and
none of 'it is wasted in his excrement,
which would not be the case with oats.
Meal is the best for old horses, but I
like to save the trouble, and the mil
ler's toll if it can be done without loss.
When the spring work begins the mcst
economical arid the best feed , for this
team will be to cut their hay and mix
meal with it. Rye meal is the cheap
est and they will be fed on it with a
Utile' ground oats and oatmeal. An
old horse which had the heaves badly
was fed one spring nothing , but oats
soaked and swelled in water. He
kept fat and did a great deal oi hard
work. Three pecks a day was all he
required. There was no trouble on
account of the horse. If be had been
allowed to eat hay he could not have
worked at all. Rural New Yorker.

The Cases Against Frank James. '
Gallatin. Mo., June 19. The cases
against Frank James for murder in con
nection with the Gallatan bank robbery
fourteen years ago, and the Winston
train robbery in 1881 were called to-day
and upon application of the defense
continued until August 20. The de
fense asked the continuance on the
ground that their witnesses might not
be able to arrive for several days on ac
count of the interruption of travel by
freshets. The State's counsel was pres
ent with Mrs. Sarah Hite and three oth
er witnesses - from Tennessee, whose
presence was evidently a surprise to the
defense. Mrs. Hite was prepared to tee
tify to conversations among the James
boys and others at her house implicat
ing them. Dick Liddle is also here for
the prosecution. The plea of the de
fense in continuance is generally re
garded as an excuse. The prisoner
