It is only a question of time when the
government will lo compelled to either
own or control the telegraph system of
the country to save the people from the
extortions of the western union monopoly.
Tublic sentiment id fast drifting that
way.
At Aurora yesterday Mrs. ICuhn ol
taincd a judgment of :)S0 for selling
her husband liquor. The case was ap
pealed but it is to be hoped that the
higher courts will approve the decision.
It is robbery for a liquor dealer to sell a
husband r a father liquor to make him
drunk and neglect his family. It is
right that he should suffer and it is to be
hoped that 3Irs. Kuhn and all others
like. her will find the redress under the
law that they deserve.
The terrible accident at Kouts station,
on the Chicago & Atlantic railroad, is
worse than first reported. The railroad
officials suppress all the news they can
from it. The number of killed, it is now
believed, will never be known. Railroad
accidents are entirely too frequent; not
only should such employees as are to
blame be mj.de to suffer severely; but the
railroads should be made to pay in
maney such large sums to the families of
the killed as would make it necessary
for their financial interest to protect the
lives committed to tbeir care more
guardedly.
It can hardly be truthfully claimed
that the American Hankers' Association
will have no important question toad
dress itself atits convention, which is
about to open at Pittsburg, The subject
of providing a suitable basis for circula
tion, to replace the bonds which the Gov
ernment is compelled to redeem, is even
more pressing than ever before. Scarcely
less vital to the country's interests is the
Bubjcctof the relations between the banks
and the speculators. Within the present
year banking institutions, upon the most
inadequate security, have furnished funds
by which the prices of food were ad
vanced on exchanges and boards of
trade, and injury inflicted on 00,000,000
people, in order that a few audacious
and unscrupulous conspirators might
make inordinate profits. There are other
questions which can appropriately be
brought before the convention. How
ever, if these two subjects should be
given the consideration which their im
portance demand, the hankers will be
kept reasonably busy during their entire
session. Globe Democrat.
The European Situation.
The news from Europe, says the New
York World, is becoming more than
usually interesting. As it relat- s to di
plomatic matters it is necessarily uncer"
tain in some particulars. But, assuming
it to be mainly correct, the great powers
seem to be grouping themselves into
more definite shapes than they have oc
cupied for a long time past. Inforraa
tion from St. Petersburg that Russia and
Turkey have agreed upon a plan for
jointly administering upon the effects of
Bulgaria and Roumelia, wholly ignoring,
so far asappears, the cxistance of Prince
Ferdinand.
On the other hand, "Sig. 'Crispi's visit
to the north is understood to signify
that Italy. is now bound by very close
ties to Germany and Austria, forming 11
triple alliance of much . solidity. The
principal object of the recent negotia
tions between the premiersof the three
nations, if Crispi is reliably reported, is
the maintainanee of the European equi
librium, and, particularly, opposition to
Russian aggression. The influence of
England will be, without doubt, thrown
with Germany and its allies. The French
sympathies will be on the other side.
The break; ng-off of the commercial ne
gotiations that have been pending be
tween France nnd Italy squares with this
general view of the situation. And Ita
ly has something of the same longing
for Nice and Savoy that France has for
Alaska and Lorraine.
Therefore, is the reported agreement
between Russia and Turkey with regard
to Bulgaria, and in the apparently
avowed objec t of the triple alliance, there
is all the material necessary for the pre
diction of a collision, with several cor
roborating circumstances to spare. But
prophets have lost contidense so far as a
European war is concerned.
Samuel J- Handall and Protection-
The record of the United States during
the past quarter of a century, has demon
strated that the policy of protection to
domestic industries is of vital importance
to the country. And in the minds of
well informed and unbiased persons, the
country made great advances in national
development under the tariff of 1824.
But free trade theorists may contend,
with perhaps some slight show of reason,
that the "good times" of those days
would have been experienced if the op
posite policy had prevailed. These par
ticular enactments were in force for a
short time only, giving but an inadequate
opportunity for the development of
their influence on the country's business.
The present tariff, however, with such
modifications us the changed industrial
conditions have made necessary, has been
on the national statue book for almost a
generation, while the material and moral
progress which has accompanied it has
been without precedent in the country's
history.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, in the follow
ing extract from his address at the open
ing ot the exposition at Atlanta, thus re
fers to the completeness and thorough
ness with which the history of the coun
try since 1801 has confounded the false
prophet of free trade:
It has been declared with dogmatic energy
and iersistenc that under certain conditions
of duties on imrorts the prices of food and
elotl'.inK would be liif-'licr while the wafiee of
labor would be lower, It, has been demou
nt rated tliat in the years since
13C0 the reverse lias been actually proven to
lo the fact, by whatever standard tested, and
the price of food and clothing have been re
duced, the wairos of labor increased and the
profits of carnal lessened, while despite those
whoe theories, predictions and selfish inter
ests have contemplatedjthfl ffailure and dis
comfiture of the people in developing th-ir
own individai'l resources, the people, never
theless, bave risen superior to all adverse in
iluences and achieved a complete and, I be
lieve, a lusting victory.
The prices of food and clothing have
not advanced since 1801, nor have those
of labor declined. The predictions of
the free traders have been completely
and conspicuously falsified by the facts.
A dollar will buy 25 per cent more of
the necessities of life than it would in
1S30 or'ISGO, in the old free trade days,
while the workingman obtains from 25
to 50 per cent more dollars for his labor
now than he did then. In the twenty-six
years which have passed since the present
tariff first went into operation the popu
lation of the country has nearly doubled,
while the value of the property held by
its citizens has almost quadrupled.

here bo ont of place to note that while in
the old ships the partitions an wooden

Cot ud I'rcsHed Glass.
Glassware can bo regarded both its a neces
sity and a luxury, the latter from the beauty
of the material composing the urticle und tho
artLsticworkLciitowediiiioi.it. Tho impres
hin pruvails to a considerable extent thut ex
jensive glassware, like expensive porcelain,
w ill not break so readily as the cheaiier
grades, Lut this is a delusion. There is no real
motive for tho purchase of tho expensive arti
cle except the gratilieatii u of a tasto for lux
ury. Tho United tStat.es possesses all tho
nutural advantages that uro j)OSsessed by tho
European countries for tho manufacture of
gla-ss, and in tho uso of natural gas it has ouo
important factor not possessed abroad. Tho
cleanliness of glass and the cheapness and tho
easo willi which it is managed certuinly givo
to tho glass manufacturers of Pittsburg and
that vicinity un advautago not possessed in
Europe. On tho other hand Europe has its
exceedingly cheap labor, it has tho talent of
families devoted to the artistic production of
glass for generations, and it has its art schools
greater in number und superior in teaching to
those of tho United States.
For theso reasons Europe is a long way
ahead of the United States in ingenuity of de
signs, shapes, patterns und decoration. Gloss
from the earliest historic ages has been a
favorite medium for the expression of beauty.
Tho fluid character of tiie original substance
permits it to Ixe molded to an infinite variety
of forms, and tho most delicate shades of col
oring may ho infused through its crystal clear
ness so as to adapt it to the luxurious uses of
tho tablo. Tho highest development of art is
iu the production of cameo glass.
AN' AXCIENT AltT.
Evidences of this art in its perfection are
very ancient, and even in tho beginning of
tho Christian era very beautiful and expensive
articles of glass were in uso. At that thno
glass in its common forms was a cheap artielo.
At 50 14. O. a cup and saucer of glass could
bo bought at Komo for money equivalent to
our cont. Illustrating tho other extreme, it
is historically narrated that tho Emperor Is'ero
paid a sum equivulent to 825l,000 for two
cups of moderate dimensions. Window glass
did not apjtear until about tho Third century
of tho Christian era, und it did not come into
general use until tho Fifteenth century. In
1GGI only tho principal chambers of tho king's
palace in England had window glass.
Egypt offers tho earliest positivo evidences
of glassmaking. Glass bottles containing red
wines are said to Lo represented on tho monu
ments of the fourth dynasty, more than 4,000
years ago, and in tho tombs of a very early
pariod tho process of glassblowing is repre
sented in an unmistakable manner. In tho
time of tho Roman Emperor Hadrian, among
tho chief industrial occupations of tho inhabi
tants of Alexandria is mentioned glassblow
ing; and during the reign of Aurelian, in the
Third century, glas3 formed a part of tho
Egyptian tribute, showing it was then an
artielo of manufacture in Egypt. The deli
cate coloring of glass, that adds so much to its
beauty, was known in ancient times. Theso
colors are produced by a mixture with metals;
for instance, bluo is produced by cobalt,
green by copper, and rose or ruby by gold.
The great site of tho manufacture of glass in
tho middlo ages was Venice, and its articles
of manufacture were exported all over tho
world. The glass trade of Venice has been
superseded by that of England and Germany.
THE PRINCIPAL INGREDIENTS.
Silicon of which there is 00 per cent, in
good glass sand, is tho principal ingredient
iu glass. Lead enters into the superior quali
ties of glass, giving it clearness and brilliancy,
and the musical ring of a glass article only
comes from bad glass. Co-stal glass is bad
glass, which is also termed flint glass. Only
lead glass can be cut. Lime is now greatly
used in tho manufacture of glass, pressed
glass articles bring made of lime glass. In its
manufacture tho United States has an ad
vantage over other countries, on account of
its talents for the use of machinery. While
the eastern part of this country was formerly
the seat of tho principal glass industry, it has
moved west of late j'ears, owing largely to
the backwardness of tho eastern manufactur
ers to tako up tho making of limo glass. St.
Louis is now an important glass manufactur
ing centre, but the greatest amount of busi
ness is done in the Ohio valley, of which
Pittsburg and Wheeling are the chief glass
towns. Tho natural gas of this section has
given tho glass industry a great impetus.
Ilea'vy plato window glass i3 manufactured
largely in the west, but the glass used in the
east is mostly imported from France.
The cut glass industry of this country has
grown greatly of 'recent years, but the arti
cle is not yet exported to tho extent that
pressed glass is. The chief exportations of
glass from this country are to the South
American states, and considerable goes to the
British possessions in Australia. This country
U undoubtedly able to compete with any or
all the countries of Europe in stamped lime
glasa. Most of the glass in domestic use is of
this kind. New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. The Water Carrier of Asplnwall.
One peculiarity of this country is that a
muio is employed to carry the water to the
beach, where it is sent off to a ship that is in
need of it, and, in addition, the mule must
carry its driver, while men carry the coffee in
huge sacks, such as one may see on the piers
at the Brooklyn stores, on their backs. The
sack of coffee weighs about as much as the
mule load of water, and half the weight of
the driver thrown in. Of course the mule
could carry two sacks of coffee easily, but ho
does not have to do so. It is not the style;
that seems to be the only reason for keeping
tho burden off th mule. When tho uen
work at carrying ceffee to market they make
drudges of themselves, but on other occasions
they do not work very hard or very long.
Tho water carrier we met got his mule in
tho way of our carriage, or our driver got in
the way of the mule, and the mulo was upset
by the collision. Although it was no fault of
ours, the mule driver picked himself up, and,
waving his club threateningly, advanced on
us, jabbering at a rate and with looks that
seemed particularly ugly. It was a question
with us whether to use a pistol or run to savo
ourselves from a beating, when pur driver
came to tho rescue by telling us that the col
lision had ruined tho water carrier, and that
nothing short of 25 cents American silver
could retrieve tho broken fortune. That
coin produced, the water carrier went away
with many expressions which wo cquld not
understand, except by tho deprecatory wav
ing of his hands and tho bowing of his head.

STARVING TO DEATH.
FEAT NOT EASILY ACCOM
PUSHED IN NEW YORK.
What the Man AY ho Look After thA
City's Fanners Say on the Subject An
Kocisition for Injro lug tlio Condition
of the Foor.
"How can a person starve to death in New
York city" was asked by a leporterof Sui-ir-intendeut
Blake, who looks after thu city's
paupers. Mr. Blakedidu't stop to think befir
he said: '"You can't;" and then ho added:
"That is, you can't unless you want t real
bad. Of course, if you look yourself up
somewhere where no one can get nt you, an l
don't eat anything or make any uoiu to
uttract attention, you may succeed in dying
of starvation; but that's about the only way
you could do it in New York. .If you would
starve, tako my udvico and don't try it in
New York; you are sure to be caught at it.
'There is no red tape about the relief of
destitute jeoplo in this city. In tho flr.t plav,
tho city doesn't do it at all. Tho c ity gave up
giving outdoor relief several years ago. All
tho city does for poor pitopie is to send tlu'iu
to tho workhouse. But, naturally, informa
tion of jieople who aro in need of immedint'j
assLstanco usually comes to me. Generally
the neighbors aro the ones who find out thfi
case, and they either come here or inform tho
lolice. In either case the action is immediate.
Talways send a messenger directly around to
tho office of tho New York As-.ociation for
Improving tho Condition of the Boor, and i
ten minutes after I hear of the caso a visitor
of that society Ls on her way with provisions
and medicine for tlio relief of the m.Terers,
wl.ilo if it is reported as lil.uiy to bo a hospi
tal case, I also send ono of our ambulances at
once.
NECESSARY RED TAPE.
"After tho immediate necessities cf tho fam
ily or person aro relievi d then comes the red
tape. Tho society's visitor looks up tho mat
ter and reports to her superiors. For the citv
an investigation is made, und it is ascertained
whether tho persons are Jgallyn ehargo (ipou
this municipality or belong somewhere else.
Generally they aro recently arrived emi
grants, for whom tho Castlo Garden authori
ties must look out. But in any event the
MifTerers get good food a .d careful attention
uutd responsibility for their permanent caro
is fixed.
"Actual pauperism is comparatively rare in
this city, much as wo hear about povci
The poorest parts of tho city aro inhabited by
people that live like pigs in a pen, not "oecauso
they have to, but because they want to fava
money. Tho workhous.i is kept full, but it i
chiefly with men and women who go there
rather tlian work. Of courso many honest
and respectable persons como hero to ask for
relief. In every such case I endeavor to send
them away encouraged to try for work again.
I tell them for heaven's' sako to keep o;it of
tho workhouse to work at Hiij'thing at which
they can pick up a penny rather than degrado
themselves by becoming public char-js. For
it certainly does degrade thorn. Nino thms
out of ten it ruins them, und they back
again and again, and finally become of tbo
6ort that is sent up twice a year for six mouths
each time.
"It would probably surprise people to know
that thero aro men who, because they cannot;
find work at their trade, will como hero for
aid beforo they will try to get work at any
thing else. To such I absolutely refuso to
givo commitment, and direct them where to
go to get laboring or olher work if they fail
at their trado. In most cases they tako icy
orders. Sometimes they appeal to a magis
trate and get a commitment anyhow. Women
aro still worse. Practically a woman can
always get a living if tlio is willing to do
domestic work for her board nnd clothes.
There's no c-scuso for their going to tho work
house, and I tell them so every chanco I get."
THE WOKK OF KELIEF.
John Bowno, who.-,e aspect mingles tha
venerable with the benevolent, is the general
agent of the New York Association for Im
proving the Condition of the Poor, on which
Superintendent Blako depends to relieve
cases of extreme destitution. It hits been i;i
existenco well toward half a century. It ex
pends about 25,000 a year in its work of re
lief, of which 00 per cent, goes directly to tho
people aided and 40 per cent, is consumed in
expense. Mr. Bowno said:
"Thero is never any delay in relieving cases
of destitution coming to our knowledgo
through the charities department of tho city
or in other ways. Our visitors on their regu
lar rounds whenever they hear of a cs:o
givo aid immediately cud report it afterward.
A visitor sent out on information brought to
the office always takes food and medicine
with her. I do not think it is possible for a
person who really wants to live to starve to
death in New York. If in a house, tho
neighbors are always at hand to givo aid,
and tho police aro sure to discover a caso oat
of doors. In most of the cases reported in
tho papers as of starvation, alcoholism has
more to do with it than lack of food. Our
money is collected chiefly through a can
vasser, who is emploj-ed regularly. Most of
it comes from individuals. Comparatively
little is contributed by the churches, heeau a
we urge that each church should look alter its
own poor, and they are getting to do so very
generally.
"The saddest cases we have arc not those in
which abject poverty is the feature, Lut
thoso where misfortunes have reduced per
sons of cultivation and good position to des
titution. Such are often restrained by priuo
from asking aid until the last possible mo
ment, but they rarely eari'3r it so far as to
starve to death rather than seek help."
Vocal Stnules Abroad.
A reputable physician, who has made a
careful study of tho effects produced upon
young American women who have gone
abroad for vocal studies, saj-s that only about
one-sixth of tho number ever return with a-s
good voico as when they left, and less than
half of tho number with an improved voice.
Only those in jtoor health arj shown to have
really improved in voico by a prolonged
change of climate and study in Europe. Ili3
advico is that American ladies should always
live and study tho "liaiian method," as far
as possible, with Italian t.-aclers here in their
nativo land, and go abroad as foreign artists
visit us, never remaining a sufficient length
of time for tbo climate and living to cha::go
their system and voice, more esiveciaily whilo
they are in their "teens." Globe-Democrat.
