REPUBLICAN FREETRADE.
The Journal has recently made
the d'scovcy that the republican
pariy is in favor of free trade, and
6ir.ee Ih's is he docii:ie in which
the editor o! that npper professes
to believe, we shall expect to see
him espouse the cause of the re
nubl;cai pari v. Rut the fact of the
matter is, the republ;can idea of
free tr?de diifcs ma.eMlly ironi
the democratic plan, inasmuch as
the po'icy of ihe former nsoutlined
in the McKinley bill favors the free
admission into our pons of such
Xroducs that do not come into
competi'on with our products,
euch as sugar cane, coffee, tea,
molasses, elc. An agreement be
tweeti tie Hawaiian Islands and
this country p ovides for he free
admission i n to our ports practically
all thelalicr's goods inasmuch as
this class of products cannot be
profitably produced here and a
tar'tf upon them is not a protective
tariff, because it does not stimulate
production atid protect us from the
pauper labor of the old country; it
is, howeve ", a revenue tariff and a
tax to the consumer. Some of the
republican papers are advocating
euch a treaty with Canada, arguing
that the free importation of
products from that country would
not be materially detrimental to
our producers, but by ho doing the
market for our goods will be
greatly extended. If it can be
determined that such a treaty can
be made and yet not work detri
mentally to our industries and
labor, it is perfectly in accerd with
the republican policy to make euch
a treaty.
But this is not the kind of free
trade the Journal would adopt. It
would be particularly careful to
remove all duties on competitive
products and leave the duties on
goods we cannot produce until all
others had been removed.

MENTAL TELEGRAPHY;
INFLUENCE OF MIND ON MIND
STRONGLY ILLUSTRATED.
A Strang Rtory of Thought TranimU-
lon Two Wall Known Man Concelre
the Sams Idea at About the Same Tim.
An Odd Experience of Mark Twain'.
Now I come to tb oddest thin that
ever happened to me. Two or three
years ugo I was lying in bed idly musing
one morning it was the 2d of March
when saddeuly a red hot new idea came i
whistling down into uiy camp and ex-'
ploded with such comprehensive effec
tiveness as to sweep the vicinity clenn of
rubbishy reflections and fill the air with
their dust and flying fragments. ' This
idea, stated in simple phrase, was that
the time was ripe and the market ready
for a certain book; a book which ought
to be written at once; a book which must
command attention and be of peculiar
intercut to wit, a book about the Ne
vada silver mines.
The Great Bonanza was a new won
der then, and everybody was talking
about it. It seemed to me that the per
son best qualified to write this book was
Mr. William II. Wright, a journalist of
Virginia, Nev., by whose sido I had
scribbled many months when I was a
reporter therp ten or twelve before. He
might be alive still; he might bo dead; I
oould not tell; but I would write him
anyway.
I began by merely and modestly sug
gesting that he make such a book, but
my interest grew as I went on, and I ven
tured to map out what I thought ought
to be the plan of the work, he being an old
friend, and not given to taking good in- !
tentions for ill. I even dealt with details :
and suggested the order and sequence :
which they should follow. I was about
to put the manuscript in an envelope,
when the thought occurred to me that if
this book should be written at my sug
gestion, and then no publisher happen to
want it, I should feel uncomfortable; so
I concluded to keep my letter back until
I should have secured a publisher.
HEADING AN UNOPENED LETTER.
I pigeonholed my document and drop
ped a note to my own publisher, asking
him tonnme aday for a business consulta
tion. He was out of town on a far jour
ney. My note remained unanswered, and
at the end of three or four days the whola
matter had passed out of my mind. On
the 0th of March the postman brought
three or four letters, and among them a
thick one whose superscription was in a
hand which seemed dimly familiar to
me. I could not "place" it at first, but
presently I succeeded. Then I said to a
visiting relative who was present:
"Now I will do a miracle. I will tell
you everyttnng tms letter contains
date, signature and all withou t break
ing the seal. It is from a Mr. Wright, of
Virginia, Nev., and is dated the 2d of
March seven days ago. Mr. Wnght
proposes to make a book about the silver
mines and the Great Bonanza, and asks
what I, as a friend, think of the idea.
He says his subjects are to be so and
so, their order and sequence so and so,
and he will close with a history of the
chief feature of the book, the Great
Bonanza."
HEAD AIUOIIT.
I opened the letter and showed that I
had stated the date and the contents cor
rectly. Mr. Wright's letter pimply con
tained what my own letter, written on
the same date contained, and mine still
lay in its pigeonhole, where it had been
lying during the seven days Bince it was
written.
There was no clairvoyanco about this,
if I rightly comprehend what clairvoy
anco is. I think the clairvoyant pro
fesses to actually see concealed writing
and read it off word for word. Tlds was
not my case. I only seemed to know,
and to know absolutely, the contents of
the letter in detail and duo order, but I
bad to word them myself. I translated
them, so to speak, out of Wright's lan
guage into my own.
Wright s letter and the one winch 1
had written to him, but never sent, were
in substance the same.
Necessarily this could not como by ac
cident; such elaborate accidents cannot
happen. Chance might have duplicated
oue or two of the details, but she would
bavo broken down on tho rest. I could
not doubt there was no tenable reason
for doubting that Mr. Wright's mind
and mine had been in close and crystal
clear communication with each other
across 8,000 miles of mountain and
desert on the morning of March 2. 1 did
not consider that both minds originated
that succession of ideas, but that one
mind originated them, and simply telo
graphed them to the other.
MENTAL TELEGRAPHY.
I was curious to know which brain
was the telegrapher and which was the
receiver, so I wrote and asked for par
ticulars. Mr. Wright's reply showed
that his mind had done the originating
and telegraphing and mine the receiving.
Mark that significant thing now;
Consider for a moment how many a
splendid "original" idea has been un
consciously stolen from a man 8,000 miles
way.
If one should question that this is so,
let him look into the cyclopedia and
con once more that curious thing in the
history of inventions which has puuled
every one so much that is, the frequency
with which the same machine or other
contrivance has been Invented at the
same time by several persons in differ
ent quarters of the globe. The world
was without an electric telegraph for
several thousand years; then Professor
Henry the American, Wheatstone in
England, Morse on the sea, and a Ger
man in Man.ch all invented it at the
same time, Mark Twain in Harper's.

How Niagara Was Formed.
Once upon a time there was a beanti
ful Indian maiden who was compelled
by her family to engage herself to marry
a hideous old man vt her tribe. In her
dec peratiou she leaped into a canoe and
pushed it over the roaring breakers of
Niagwa, preferring the angry waters to
the arms of her detested lover. But the
god of thunder, cloud and rain, who
watches over tho harvest, dwelt in a
cave behind the roaring cataract. He
caught her jut-t as her frail bark was !
dashing upon the rocks below and gave
her a home for many weeks in his own ,
mysterious cavern.
From him she learned many new
things, among them why her people
died so often. He told her how an
enormous snake lay coiled up under the
ground beneath her village, and how ho
crept out and poisoned the springs, be
cause he craved the flesh of human be
ings and could never get enough of it so
long as they died from natural causes.
The maiden remained in the cave until
her ugly old suitor was dead; then shs
returned, and the go I killed the serpent
with a thunderbolt.
The great dead snake was so huge that
when the people laid its body out in
death it stretched over more than
twenty arrow flights, and as it floated
down the waters of tho Niagara it was
as if a mountain appeared above them.
Its corpse whs too large to pass the
rocks, so it became wedged in betweeu
them and tho waters rose over it, thus
fashioning tho horseshoe, which remains
to this day. Washington Star.

We are becoming a little surfeited
with these wild women as globetrotters
and travelers. Their adventures, which
for the most part are fictions based on a
very small substratum of fact, hav
ceased to impress, partly because we
have ceased to believe, and certainly
ceased to respect. Who wanted them to
run all these risks, supposing thorn to be !
true? What good have they done by '
their days of starvation and nights of
sleeplessness? their perils by land and ,
sea? their chances of being devoured by j
wild leasts or stuck np by bushrangers?
taken by brigands or insulted by row
dies of all natious?
They have contributed nothing to our
stock of knowledge, as Marianne North
has done. They have solved no ethno
logical problem; brought to light no
now treasures of nature; discovered no
new field for British spades to till, no
new markets for British manufactures
to supply. They have done nothing but
lose their beauty, if they had any; for
what went out fresh and comely comes
hick haggard ami weather beaten. It
was quite unnecessary. They have lost,
bat tho world has not gained; and that
doctor's bill will make a hole in the pub
lisher's check. Mrs. Lynn Linton in

One Way of Giving Satisfaction.
Incledon, the once famous singer,
never fought a duel, and he never in
tended to fight one. On one occasion
some remarks of his gave offense to a
man with whom the singer happened to
fall in company, and the offended gen
tleman resolved to have satisfaction for
his wrongs. Accordingly he hunted np
Incledon the next afternoon, finding him
at dinner in a noted hotel. "Mr. Incle
don," said the waiter, "a gentleman
wishes to see yon, sir." "Show him up,
then," said the singer. "Sir," said the
visitor, entering the room in a towering
passion, "you have been making free
with my name in a Very improper man
ner, and I've come to demand Batisfao
tion!" After Homo parleying Incledon
rose, and, striking a graceful attitude in
tho center of the room, began to sing
"Black Eyed Susan" in his most delight
ful style. When ho had finished tho
song he said coolly, "There, sir, that

DAVE PADDOCK'S REMARKABLE ES
CAPE FROM JOLIET.
An AlruiKt Siitrhiimau DUplajr of lu'
4
genulty KtercUed by a Convict to firi
Out of Prlmn Working a Krw Mlnutrl
at a Tim fur Over Two Year.
A section of iron bar was cut from the
rell door of Dave Paddock by that re
doubtable knight of the dark lantern
and "jimmy" on the occasion of his sen
sational escajH' from Joliet. r orovet
two years ruddock has schemed mil
worked to effect his purpose, llewa
se lit up from Hock Island on an ei'lit
year term, and was placed at work in
one of the shoeshops, where during
every minute of the working hours in
the shop he was constantly under the
watchful eye of his keeper. There was
not the least chance to plan an eseap.i
from the shop. But, not daunteil at
this, he determined to find some means
of getting out of his cell nt night.
To fully appreciate the difficulty of
cutting out of a cell it must be reiifeiu
bered that three times every hour during
the night, nt irregular intervals, a guard
wearing padded slippers called "sneak
shoes" by the convicts makes his rounds
peering into each cell to make sure that
all are secure and in bed. Paddock first
appropriated a couple of thin bladed shoe
knives from his shop, and, concealin,.
them from tho guard, took them to hi
cell, where, by using ono as a file, ha
converted the other into a fine steel saw
Then by slow degrees he collected a large
amount of shoe thread from the same
shop, with which he braided tho rope,
All this required months of stealtlil'ul
work, but in the course of time ho had a
slender, strong rope, fully fifty feet in
length.' This he kept carefully hidden in
the mattress of his bed.
Next he began sawing the bars on hit
door a little at a time. Night after nigl
ne watched for the passing of the guard,
olid as soon as that official was beyon
hearing distance he would cut a littls
and then fill np the space with black
wax. which he had also obtained from
the shoeshop, so that the prying eyes
the guard could not discover by dayligh
that the door had been tampered with
When the bar had been cut through he
carefully wedged it back into place with
small iron staples and bits of lead,
ni'MAKKAHI,!! CLEVERNESS.
He could now get outside of his cell,
but the hardest work was yet to be done,
His cell was located high up on the
third tier, souks sixty feet away from
the tower door through which he hoped
to make his way. Watching his chance,
when tho uight guard was on the op
posite sido of tho block of cells, ho re
moved the bar from his door, crawled
through the opening, and with all the
agility of a cat climbed down the railing
from tier to tier, ran across the corridor
to the tower door, and, with a piece of
shoemakers wax, took an impression of
the lock, regaining his cell before the
guard appeared on that side of the cell-
house.
By careful working he made a key out
of lead pipe that a plumber had uroppr
near his workbench in the Bhop. . Sev
eral trips from his cell to the tower door
were made during the next few weeks
tefore his key would fit, and then it
took him some time to get together
enough material to make a "dummy" to
put in his bed to prevent his absence
being discovered before ho could get be
yond reach. On tho very day that he
intended to make his escape, while re
turning from the shop to his cell, he
slipped upon an icy stairway and badly
jprained his ankle. This utmost dis
couraged him. His months of anxious
toil had come to naught. His scheme
would surely be discovered. After three
weeks in the prison hospital he was sent
back to work, and when he reached his
cell that evening was overjoyed to find
that his rope, key and "dummy" were
still safely concealed in the mattress,
and everything as ho had left it.
ESCAPE AND CAITL'IlE.
Another week elapsed before his ankle
would permit his making the attempt.
Tho night came, however, and along
ubont midnight he was safe inside the
tower. A single iron bar still stood be
tween him and freedom, and it would
take long hours of hard work to cut
tlirongh it. Just as daylight began to
break the bar gave way. The rope now
came into good ubo, and with its aid he
slipped down upon the prison lawn and
hurried away to the woods that line the
bluffseost of tho prison. Here he found
a thicket or underbrush where he lay
hid all that day, and when darkness
came again he got away.
His absence was not discovered from
prison until the guard went to unlock
his cell in the morning. This was with
out doubt the cleverest escape that had
taken place at Joliet, and stamped Pad
dock as a genius. Extraordinary efforts
were made for his recapture. Large
rewards were offered, and his descrip
tion was cast broadcast. A year later it
was discovered that Paddock had a mis
tress in Chicago. A watch was set on
her house for several weeks, and sure
enough one night Paddock pnt in an ap
pearance. Captain Simon O'Donnell, of
the police department, had the place
surrounded and the daring convict was
again in the toils. lie was taken back
to his old quarters at the prison, where
he finally completed his sentence, not,
however, until he had tried several other
schemes for escape, but he was too
closely watched to ever again succeed.
