a case in point.
The pearl button industry is yet
young and comparatively small in
Omaha, but in Newark, N.J., il is an
indusiry of con-iderable impor
tance , gi ing employment to about
:i,Uoo operatives. The manufacture
of pearl buttons was little known in
this country until alter the passage
ol the McKiuley bill, by which the
American manufacturer was pro
tected and able- to compete with
cheap foreign labor. Il was the
passage of this measure that caused
the est iblishmeut ol the pearl but
ton business in (his city, and in
Newark and other place s where it
had previously started the business
was very largely increased inconse
quence of protection. One of the
Newark manufactures says: "My
business began with eight em
ployees. To-day 1 employ over 11)0,
When my new factory is completed
I shall employ between 'Jot) and :ti)0
hands at work. My orders now
amount to between $150,000 and$170,.
000 a year. Hefore the passage of
the McKinly bill I was forced to be
content with $2,500." The increase
in the turifT has resulted in the
building up of large pearl button
business in a very short time and it
is as much to the advantage of the
employe as the employer. Under
the old taritT the wagea of the pearl
button makers in this country aver
aged between $S..T0 and If 12. Now
they are from $1S to $''. Yet the
buttons are cheaper now than they
were before the Mc Kin ley bill was
passed. Wages are so low in the
old country that the foreign manu
facturer can still compete on even
terms with the American manufac
turer on some of the smaller grades
This is where the question of wages
md protection comes in.
There ate in Omaha two small
pearl tuition lactones mat came in
existence solely in consequence of
th" increased tariff. They are pros
pering and are giving employment
to people who, in turn, give employ
incut to others, and thus increase
insines of the community. In
this instance, as in many others the
republican protective policy has
produced benefits which the people
of Omaha and of the whole state
can see and estimate at their true
value. The market that has been
opened to the Omaha pearl button
makers is a growing one, and will
continue to extend under the benef
icent influence of home patronage,
which has already done much to
demonstrate that it is needless to
go away from home for good article
at moderate prices. A contiiiucnce
of the policy which made it possi
ble tt) establish the pearl button in
dustry in this city will bring other
manufactories here, and it will be
found that the fruits of the protec
tive tariff will become more prec
ious to the people the longer they
enjoy them. I tee.
AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR HOME
RULE.
The underlying American senti
ment is undoubtedly in favor ol
homo mle for Ireland-this apart
from all merely political reasons
why American political parties
may be supposed to favor the
American-Irish vote. The underly
ing reasons for American sympa
thy for home rule are set forth, in
an interesting article in the Forum
for August, by Richard Henry
Dana, who makes an instructive
historical study to show that the
causes of our colonial ancestors
and of Ireland to-day are substan
tially the same. He draws a paral
lel between the treatment of the
American colonies by Great Uritain
and her treatment of Ireland. The
parallel is much more accurate
than one would suppose from the
first glance. For instance, the
Ivnglish argument is that the con
duct of the IriMi shows that they
are unfit for home rule. The same
argument was used to show that
the American colonics were unfit
for independence.
Mr. I), ma goes on to point out
that the parallel so often used by
the Fnglish lories between the
Fnglish-I rish situation and tin
I'liion-Confedcracy in the I'nitei
Stales is no parallel nt all, for the
reason that the Confederate state
were in armed rebellion against tile
I'liion and wished to secede from
it; wl ereas the Irish do not wish to
secede from Great Hritain, but to
have home rule with union. How-
well this plan would work can be
guessed from the real I'nion-Con
federate parallel that would hold if
Ireland were granted home rule
with union, because the Southern
states after our civil war were
granted home rule only on the con
dition that they would remain in
the Union. This is an instructive
and impassionate explanation of
the deep-rooted American sympa
thy for Ireland's cause-for purely
historical and not for partisan rea
sons.

For some time trouble has been
existing beetween G. .V.Anderson
ami the people of Louisville and
last week S. 1'. Met., becoming tired
of being bullyragged, struck An
derson on the head w hich resulted
in Anderson causing Met.'s arrest.
Met, secured a change of venue
from Weeping Water to 'Squire
Mitchell's, six miles southwest of
that place. The day set for the
trial was last Thursday, and about
two dozen went through the rain
and mud to attend the trial. Plenty
of "booze" was taken along- and as a
result the whole party became
pretty well filled up and the lawyers
tottered as they marched into court.

Fluorine Gu,
Fluorine gas is of a vellow color, with
a siuell r6emblinK clenching powder.
It has not tieen linnefied, and still ro-
uains gaseous at 140 iloirs. Fahrenheit.
Every precaution has to be taken in
studying its nction on other bodies, both
on account of its dangeuiply irritating
action on the eves in mucous mem
brane of the operator and its marvelous
and wonderful energy, far exceeding
that of anything hitherto discovered.
There is hardly a gas, liquid or solid,
that it does not attack, usually with tho
greatest violence; in fact its mere cou-
act with any other substance is nearly
always signalized by tho sudden evolu
tion of intense heat and light and fierce
etonations. It almost realizes the fond
st dreams of the alchemists, and might
filly be their lung sought liquor, alka
hest, or universal solvent, for even dull,
inert flint takes fire instantly it is ex
posed to the vapor, and the whole mass
hecoiues luminous with a grand incau-
scelicu.
As a supporter of combustion it leaves
oxvgeii far behind. Lampblack bursts
immediately into brilliant flaino and
gets red hot in a current of fluorine gas;
and charcoal is made to givo an inter-
ting exhibition of its porosity by first
filling its interstices with the gas and
then burning spontaneously with spar
kling seiutillat ions. The diamond, how
ever, is able to withstand its action even
at high temperatures. -Chambers' Jour

Tli Danger of Mctuplinr.
Metaphor and simile, poignant wea
pons in the nrniory of a skilled debater,
produce disastrous effects in tho hands
of tho inexpert. Certain figures, orig
inally of force and freshness, cause a
bleak senso of depression from the fre
quency of their employment by halting
speakers, and one who desires to engage
tho understanding of an audience ought,
at whatever sacrifice, to take a pledge
f total abstinence from such out worn
phrases us "the thin end of tho wedge,"
'oil on the troubled waters," etc. Some
times, it must be confessed, the audience
derives unexpected and lasting enjoy
ment from the delightful iueongruity of
figurative discourse.
The pages of Hansard bear, or at least
ought to bear on record, the poetic
flights eif a certain honorable baronet,
who became in parliament the very dar
ling of postprandial debate. Those who
were fortunate enough to bo present on
the evening when he was denouncing
the course taken by oneof his colleagues
in the representation tf Ireland will re
member tho rich brogue in which ho re
ferred to him as "the young sea serpent
from County Clare," and how he was
promptly called to order by the speaker
for using the expression. "Very well,
Mr. Speaker," he rejoined, "I bow to your
ruling of course and beg leavo to with
draw the sea serpent." Blackwood's
Magazine.
Tho Migration of llelmlprr.
The annual migration of the reindeer
from Lapland in search of food has now
become a serious matter. In tho first
place, it necessitates the migration of
man, for if owners want to keep their
deer and their property tln-v must fol
low them whereve r they wander. Sec
ondly, the migrating animals travel in
such great herds that they donot a little
damage to the meadows, plowed, lands
and forests. There seems to bo no stop
ping it. The deer migrate wiih limro or
le.-s regularity, and within a week or
two of the usual limo a hundred thou
sand reindeer come t iTromsoe, which is
the meet ne oiui . The owners simply
bee that their la rds do not get away.
l'ut tins invasion of reindeer is viewed
with alarm by Scandinavian farmers,
who have their crips trampled down.
The fanner may sue for damages, but if
he obtains a judgment in his favor how
is be to find the defendant? Some seven
or eight years ago u special law was
passed to meet the case, Tho country
is divided into districts, and if the own
ers of the destructive animals cannot be
found the district is held for tho dam
age, each family paying in proportion to
tho number of reindeer they possess. J.
