It is said that the Congressional sta

Will History Repeat lleein
Baltimore American,
Robert P. Porter calls attention to the
fact that 50 years ago the revenue tariff
of 1833 bad plunged tbs merchants and
manufacturers of this country Into ruin.
U* adds, not In a sectional spirit, but as a
fact, that that tariff bad been adopts! In
obedience to the demand of tbe (South. A
panic in 1637, consequently upon that in
sidious approach to free trade, desolated
many an American home, and prosperity
fled from city an ! country. "The future,"
he says, "was a blauk wall of despair for
master sod man, capitalist and mechanic."
Then William Hairy Harrison won the
battle of protection against tbe free trade
enemy, marshalled by Van Bursa and
Calhou n. A protective tariff in 1843 re
stored confidence and stimulated wealth
production.
In 1868 Grover Cleveland nukes tbe
same fight that Van Buren did, with tbe
•ame kind of Inspiration, and is confronted
by a Harrison who is worthy to wear the
sword as well as th* mantle of bis illus
trions grandfather.
In 1940 a free trad« or low tariff Now
York candidate for President was defeated
by William Henry Harrison, ths champion
of American labor and Indusxry. la 1886
history will repeat Itself. The disciple of
Van Baren will share bis fate, and a Har
rison will be boras triumphantly to the
Whits House as tbe defender of his coun
try's institutions asaiuat tbe foreigner.
Under «ich circumstances, the Qag of the
Union it properly chosen ss tbe Republican
banner, and under Its inspiring folds the
South will be saved from her own mis
guided leaders, and tbe whole land »dedi
cated to harmony and prosperity. The
earn« of Harrison is not only a symbol of
Victory, but a pledge of moderation aad
wisdom after triumph. Of all sections tb*
South most needs each a result, because
protection la her enrest road to wealth, and
because an unnatural solidarity is her
greatest misfortune.
The Name Old Story.
Philadelphia North American.
The bank teller at Providence, R. I., who
skipped with half a million of ths bank'*
funds had a thoroughness of methods that
wet sadly lacking In the directors. Noth
ing valuable that be could lay fall hands on
did bs leave, not even tbe pennies. Had
•be bank directors been only a shade as in
dustrious as tfae thief bis peculations oould
have been checked before any barm bad
been done, but, as so frequently happens,
thorn officials were mors ornamental than
useful, and only began to look at the books
after money and rogue were gone. A de
gree of guilt hardly less than tbe thief's
is attached to such officials, and it is a-pity
they oannot be sent to jail for their negli

their heads would have been chopped off.

The following interesting tariff talk
it taken from the Sullivan county (O.)
Republican. It states the farmer«'situa
tion with respect to the coming con
troversy admirably. The farmer does
not yearn for a foreign market half
so much as some of the greedy manu
facturers seem to.
"Soma of the beautitudee of free
trade were illustrated several years
since to the entiie satisfaction of an
Ohio farmer. It was during tbe tariff
tinkering policy that preceded the
political revolution of 1840, when tbe
people arose in their might and swept
from power the tyros who had been
experimenting upsn tbe prosperity
of the country until many of
its industries had been completely
prostrated. The farmer had been a
very successful corn grower for sev
eral years, and tbe developing manu
facturing Interests in that part of tbe
country afforded him a market for ail
be had to dispose of. But he became
indoctrinated with the idea that the
giant monoplie« about him were eating
up his substance, and that free trade
was the relief adapted for ease. Well,
that policy prevailed. One prop after
another was knocked from under tbe
manufacturing industries, and one
after another toppled over. Finally
there was nobody left to buy, but all
who could became producers. The old
farmer bad an abundance of com, but
no one wanted it. Finally he caught
on to the free trade ides, and shipped
a cargo to a distant market. Two or
three months afterward he received
returns from bis corn as follows:

STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
his wealth, Senator Stanford decided to erect
a university ns a memorial to his «on. II*
net aside some 930,000,000 for this puriiose. A
conveyance of these moneys has been made
to a board of twenty-four trustees, but it is
specified in the grant that Mr. and Mrs.
Stanford are to retain absolute control of tbs
property granted during their lifetime, and
"to {amend, alter or modify the conditions
of tho grant and ths trust« therein created."
At the same time "this reservation does not
include the right or power to sell or encum
ber any of the real property granted."
The institution is to ho called tho Lolaml
Stanford Junior University. Tho buildings
are to bo like the old adobe houses of tho
early Spanish days; they will ho one-storied ;
they will have deep window seats and open
fire places, and tho roofs will be covered
with tho familiar dark red tiles, w hioh are
shaped like long chimneys split in two. The
material is to lie a fine cream colored sand
stone. There are to bo fourteen of these
buildings, all exactly alike, and built about a
quadrangle 000 feet long by 250 feet wide.
There will lie a memorial church on one side
and a handsome memorial arch on tho other.
Within tho quadrangle will I« a splendid
sweep of lawn, relieved hero and there by
large flower beds and a continuous arcade,
covered and supportai by pillars like a
cloister. These buildings will lie twenty feet
high, with immense windows. There will bo
five of them on each long side of tho quad
rangle, and two on each of tb* shorter.
In addition to the university proper there
are lu ho a large number of buildings erected
at on«* for the benefit of th* profeeBors and
parents of students, and these will bo multi
plied as the demand increases. The male and
female colleges "are to lie distinct institu
tions, yet with a mutual interdejiendence."
The higher course is to be free, and the
collegiate may bo enjoyed for a nominal
sum. Tho professors will receive liberal
salaries, that the highest talent may be se
cured. In addition to tho ordinary collegiate
course there are to bo buildings devoted to
tho Instruction of the science of government,
law, medicine, painting, mechanics, agri
culture, and there will bo art galleries,
museums and a conservatory of music.
There will bo free scholarships awarded to
the children of men who have died in the
service of tho country, and of worthy me
chanics who cannot afford oven the modest
prices of tho university. There will be no
discrimination in regard to sex, unless, in
deed, it bo hi favor of women.

President John Adams and his wife were
grandparents when they went to live at the
executive mansion in Philadelphia, and
afterward at Washington. Their only
daughter, Abigail Adams, was one of the
most beautiful of any of tho women who
have occupied the White House. She mar
ried Col. W. 8. Smith, an aide to Washing

White House. Their daughter, Caroline,
married John Peter D* Wlndt, of Fishklll,
N. Y., and her daughters were celebrated
beauties about tbe middle of this century.
President Jefferson had many grandchil

House. His two daughters spent soma time
there with their young children. They were
both there in the winter of 1803-03, and dur

of children. After this there were no chil

president had no children, but two of Mrs.

The president was very fond of these chil

of Mrs. Donelson and of Andrew Jackson,

KEEP AN EGG ON HAND.
An Old lady Gives Seme Sound
Advice to a Young Wife.
Strange things are sometimes hoard
on the elevated railroad trains but it
is seldom that a conversation
heard is interesting and beneficial

however, to discover that such a thing
could be, and the discovery was made

"Well, Mary Jenkins," remarked the
former, "did I everl Why, Molly, I
hain't seen you for almost

'Spose you're keepin' bouse? Yes, I
thought so. Well, Molly, don't forget
to always keep an egg in the bouse.
You can do without your planner, and
ye needn't be over particular 'bout a
carpet for the front room ; but ye can't
'ford to be without eggs,"
"Well," returned Molly, "Jim and I
have thus far managed to have a piano,
carpets and eggs as well. But why do
you lay such stress on keeping eggs at
hand? One must be without them
occasionally."
