Herr York letter in St. Louie Fost-Dlupntcli.
There were two women coming along
Broadway the other day. One of
them performed the remarkable feat
of carrying a card-case, purse, hand
kerchief and small package In the
trend, which also held up her skirt,
while the other hand managed tier pa
rasol and a small reticule. Her com
panion walked along unencumbered,
except by her parasol and her skirt,
which was held high enough to reveal
several flounces on her silk petticoat.
The burdened woman suddenly be-
■came aware of this fact.
“Why, Catherine,” she exclaimed,
•“where are all your things?”
“What things?” inquired Catherine,
amicably.
“Why, your handkerchief and purse,
and that card of pearl studs you
bought and—everything.”
“Oh, those,” said Catherine indiffer
ently. “They are in my pocket.”
TIip lady of the parcels turned'and
flashed a look of utter unbelief upon
the burdened Catherine.
“Do you mean to tell me,” said she,
•“that there Is a pocket in that hell
■skirt of yours? Where is It? And
what dressmaker ever allowed you to
have It? Mine would no more let me
have a pocket than she would let me
go without a train or tit ine without
stays."
Catherine smiled the superior smile
of a woman who has Ingenuity, and,
withhrawing into the comparative se
clusion of a photographer's showcase,
revealed her secret. She merely
clutched her serge skirt so that an
inch or two more of the beruflted pet-
tiooat was visible, and there, low on
the right side of that piece of silken
frivolity, was a slit in the seam. She
reaohed down, thrust her unengaged
hand into it and drew up a silver net
purse, a handkerchief, an ivory shop
ping list, a small package containing
the pearl studs and a silver and glass
vinaigrette.
‘“There,” said she with pride, “you
see, I don’t have to raise my skirt
much higher than usual to get to my
pocket. And It’s suoh a convenience I
I was always in inortnl terror when I
wore a chatelaine bag lest some one
should snatch It. And I was always
losing things when I tried to carry
them all in my hands. Really, dear,
you should have one in your silk pet?
ticoat.”
Then she restored her possessions to
her pocket and walked on, serene in
the Consciousness that she was more
conveniently attired than any other
woman on the street.

THE PARTY’* tinOICB.
The course of Georgia in going so
overwhelmingly Democratic, didn’t
seem to have a very wholesome or pla-
oating effect on President Harrison.
He is reported as saying:
1 have washed my hands of the South.
It is a land of rebels and traitors who
care nothing for the sanctity of the
ballot, and I will never be in favor of
making an aotive campaign down
there until we can place bayonets at
tlfe polls. I am now more than ever
in favor of ramming a force bill' down
their throats.
Southerners will be rather surprised
at tills outburst on the part of the Pres
ident, especially when he has been told
so often that the South was so solidly
Democratic, and would never be any
other way.
President Harrison’s phrase, “the
sanctity of the ballot," should have
been modified somewhat, so us to have
been more in accord with his true
opinion. Substitute in that senteuce
“the snnetity of the Republican ballot,”
and we get at onoe to the President’s
true meaning, and \he foundation of
all his wrath. Thus modified we agree
With him. We have never yet found
any sanctity in connection with the
Republican bnllot.
The rest of President Harrison’s
meaning at onoe becomes clear. Now
that he has learned that the South
oares very little for the sanctity of the
Republican ballot, lie is quite in favor
of “ramming a force bill down their
throats”—as lie has been all along—
might well be added.
The President’s words spoken in a
moment of wrath, have fixed the issue
stronger than ever. The question now
is one of force bill or no force bill, and
all the sugar coated pills preparod by
the Halsteads, the Cnokerills and the
Reids, cannot turn the issue into any
other channel. It is as surely a part
of the the basis upon whioh the Re
publican party is making the fight as
is the fact that it was embodied in
their platform, and endorsed by the
President and candidate of the Repub
lican party.
The next President must be a Dem
ocrat.
Tradk reports for the past two or
three weeks indicate that the South is
slowly recuperating from its financial
embarrassments.

From Monday’s Evening Iternld.
Mr. Mike Cannon came very near
being the viotini of a serious accident
at the passenger depot yesterday
morning.
Mr. Cannon is an employe of the
Southern Express Company, and his
duties require him to handle a good
deal of heavy freight.
On the 10:40 8., F. A W. train, yes'
terday morning, was a large piano
consigned to Albany. It was taken
from the express car, placed on a pair
of large trucks, and was being moved
into the company's depot offioe when
it slipped and began falling.
Mr. Cannon tried to hold it up hut
gave way beneath its weight and fell
to the floor. Some other parties man
aged to keep the main weight of the
heavy Instrument on the trnoks, or
Mr. Cannon would, doubtless, have
sustained serious injuries. As it was,
he got off with a slight squeeze and
several bruises, but his call was a close
one.

The Hxrald is advised that- there
are a few disgruntled Democrats
throughout the Seoond Congressional
distriot who are disposed to be luke
warm toward the Demooratio nominee,
and that they attempt to exottse them
selves for suob undemocratic onnduct
by saying that Ben Russell, though
nominated, was not the choice of the
party.
This is not only a very lame exouse
for any man claiming to be a loyal
Democrat to make, but does great in
justice to Mr, Russell,
If Ben Russell was not the choice of
the great majority of the Democrats of
this distriot when I10 was nominated
for Congress no mnn ever was.
The convention that nominated him
brought more representative Demo
crats to Albany than ever gathered
before in the district, nnd the enthu
siasm for him was unprecedented in
the history of the distriot. No man
wns ever nominated with more enthu
siasm. The true, working Democrats
of the district felt that he had fairly
earned the nomination nnd that he
richly deserved it. The nomination
of no other mnn in the district would
hnve satisfied the great crowd that
come to the convention, and it would
have been useless for any other man
to have olfered for the honor.
Ben RuBsell took np the banner of
true Deinonrnoy at a time when, others
faltered. He didn’t start out as a can
didate for Congress, but took the stump
as a matter of principle in behalf of
the party of our fathers. He aroused
the people, and* circumstances over
whioh he had no oontrol then made
him the candidate of those who were
unwilling to surrender to the methods
that had been adopted by the political
organization known as the District
Allianoe. It was a forlorn hope, seem
ingly, when Ben Russell started out to
lead those who were protesting against
the Alliance movement in the politics
of the district; but he never faltered,
and soon others took courage and went
to his assistance. The result is well
known throughout the district and
State, and no true Democrat Jn the
distriot oan have any reasonable ex
cuse for pursuing an indifferent or
lukewarm oourse in this oampaign.
Ben Bussell is the nominee of the
Demooratio party of the Second dis
trict for Congress, and will be elected
by the largest majority that has been
rolled up for the nominee of the dis
trict in a decade, despite the inlliffer-
enoe of a few disgruntled Democrats
who are sulking and standipg idle
with their hands in their pockets

THE TAKIFF TAX.
We present herewith a table show
ing the tariff tax on luxuries as com
pared with necessities. It will be
seen that the most expensive luxuries
are never taxed higher than 00 per
cent, unless it be wines and liquors
whioh are taxed very little more.
But when we take the necessities of
life, things which are in demand every
day for family use, what do we find
but a tariff tax of 20 to 250 per cent.
The remarkable tiling about this is
that the cheapest articles are taxed
the Ijlghest. Take cloths valued noi
above 00 cents per pound, and the tax
approximates 250 per cent., while cloth
above 80 cents is taxed only 80 per cent.
We present here a short list com
prising some of the
luxuries.
Diamonds, uncut, free.
Paintings and Htutuary, 10 per cent.
Carriages and harness, 85 per cent.
Musical Instruments, 25 per cent.
Patent leather, 20 per cent.
Laces, edgings, Ac., 00 per cent.
Velvets and plushes, 50 per cent.
Antiquities, photographs, engrav
ings, olives, oratlge nnd lemon peel,
Ice, plants, ns orchids, Ac., ooooanilts,
parchment, vellum, dates, currants,
snuer-krnut, Ac., are all on the fre»
list, Willie the tax Is ns follows on
some of the most important
NECESSITIES.
Cloths, valued not above 00 cents
per pound, 250 per aent.
Cloths valued above 80 cents per
pound, 86 per cent.
Shawls at not above 80 cents par
pound, 150 per cent.
Blankets not above 00 cents a pound,
91 per cent.
Wool hats, 71 to 85 per cent.
Flannels, 80 to 108 per cent.
Knit goods, 79 to 160 per oent.
Bonnets, lists, Ac, 180 to 160 per
cent.
Cotton underwear, 89 per oent.
Cotton olutli, 02 per cent.
Boots and shoes, 25 per cent.
Brooms, 40 per cent.
8ohoql books, 26 per cent.
Hardware implements, 25 to 80 per
oents.
Garden seeds, 20 to 50 per oent.
Meats, 80 to 50 per cent.
Wool and woolen goods pay to
60cents per round specific duty and
in addition to that 86 per cent, ad
valorem.
Forks hoes and harrows are taxed
45 per oent. at home and sold for less
abroad by the American manufacturer
than, they are here at home.
These are hot the only artloles whioh
are sold for less abroad than at home.
Abroad manufacturers have to coin
pete with foreign markets, and they
must necessarily reduoe their prioe,
Notwithstanding reduction they find
a good profit in artioles shipped to
foreign shores, but because they are so
enabled by the protective tariff they
pull higher prloeB out of the pooket of
the home purohaser.
These are facts which the Republl<
oan party has never disputed, yet they
say the manufacturer must be protec
ted at the expense of the masses, and
for the benefit of Amerioan industries.
In the midst of all this glaring in
justice mad reformers look calmly on
and point to what they call “the, sham
battle over the tariff.”

' ARE THEY BETTER DEAD?
The Unfortunate Lot of Thou Who Find
Lira Not Worth Living.
Two distinguished modern English
authors have taken fora story theme
the question of Buicide. Mr. Robert
Louts Stevenson told of the droll per
formance of a club whose object it
was to look after the extinction of its
members. Mr. J. M. Barrie has writ
ten a somewhat similar story culled
‘‘Better Dead." It, too, tells about a
grewsome society organized for mu
tual suicide, and of the strange ex
periences of a young man who fbll a
victim to the society's weird charms.
We confess that thoro is n certain
fascination in the title of Mr. Barrie's
book, no matter how horrible the
story is in itself nnd in its sugges
tion. In a Connecticut town there
used to flourish a real suicide club,
which was responsible for the extir
pation of its members. The tele
graph occasionally chronicled a mys
terious death of some melancholy
member who, in joining, hnd test!
fled to his predecessors in tlm society
that lio considered himself “bettor
dead." He bad straggled along un
til the burdens of life became too
heavy, nnd finally hnd put himself
into tho hands of nil organization
whoso business it wns to furnish a
quick nnd peaceful oxit.
"Botterdoad I" Who are the people
for whom life haf no further cimrm 1
Are they those alone whoso lives have
fallen in unplousunt places? Are they
tho poor, tho oppressed t Or, on tho
other hand, are they of that consid
erable number on whom fortune has
smiled too sweetly—tho blase, tho
spoiled darlings? Or. again, are they
the disappointed, those who have
fought bravely, but in vninl Thon
there is another class—the class who
have aspired, but have tievor had tbe
wings for a long flight; thoso who
would at least "leave their prisons
and depart”
None of these is strictly the class
from which most suicides come. Tbo
largest number shuffle off the coil to
uscupe punishment by conscience or
by the operation of man's laws—
those who are too cowardly to suffor
in the mind the slings and arrows of
their own ill doods, but who take a
leap from the dagger's lethal point
and, so far us mortal knows, end
their troubles. The lover who has
‘loved doeply once, but loved In
rain,” comes next in the Htntistics.
Now, Is thoro anybody who
really "better dead?” Of' courso
there are people who seem to be
in a steadily losing game, nnd to
whom Sir Toby’s cakes and ale no
longer give pleasure. But cannot
these be stirred to soma now interest
in life? Is there not help for those
who seem most helpless? Would they
not hotter give themselves pause tip-
fore making, thoir quietus? Around
tho next bend in the highway there
may be rest and peace for them
The lover who takes the mad leap
for love's sake is really tho least par
don'ablo of all. if there bo any mat
ter of degree in the question. Shako-
speare'B sentiment that lbve is not
love that alters when it alteration

in accord with tbe observed facts of

So kind a thins. So blind a tiling,

but likewise an immense recupera
tive power. So wo say that of all
the reasons for suicide unrequited
love is the flimsiest.
Yes. and more thou that, all ‘‘bet
ter dead” reasons are had. The man
or woman who is about to step out
into the dark should “consider it
again.” It is a good deal better to
be a living dog than a dead lion, and
•while you waif, do something, be

not only youreelf, hut somebody else.
