B f Not tho least admirablo pnnsago in tho Prosl- B' Bent's message is tho ono that was "writ Bar- B kastlcal," as Aktemub "Wxrin used to say. B rj course," writes Mr. Cleveland, it Kf, Is not oxpoctcd that unncccRsary and oxtrava- Hl gont appropriations will bo made for tho pur- B&-'- P080 of avoiding tho accumulation of an ox- BBt cess of roTonue." Ono can imagine tho grim smile that ovor- spread tho President's features as ho penned HT these words, and thought, of tho war-tariff BJa defenders on their way to tho Capitol with B?" thoir pookots bulging with bills for "mi- BBBtr necessary and extravagant appropriations BBft, to eat up the surplus. Bi' There is a delicious irony in the President 's Hr "of courso. Kf" A MISAPPLIED ADJECTIVE. K Why will the Paris correspondents' persist KV in referring to Presidont Oaiinot as "com. Hk monplace?"

BB(R Congressman Delano, of this State, who BEtK represents boiuo glass manufacturers, snyH IBK' xhat lower taxes would makotho rich richor B and tho poor poorer." jK The war tariff on glass has made million- BBL aires of most of tho manufacturers, while tho BBZ wages of glass workers averaged only $1.79 a AVAT?'W day in 1880 against 82.06 in 18G0.

Thoro aro manufacturers to-day suffering for cheapor raw material wlip daro not favor it lest thoy loso part of tho bounty which they obtain on thoir products. It is high time for tho pcoplo to combino against tho combination. WOULD IT PAT 7 Tho argument that a postal telegraph would not pay, as compared with tho Western Union, is by no means conclusive. Even if tho Government's oxpensos should bo somewhat largor, it would still havo a wido margin in Its favor. Tho Western Union earns dividends on nn enormous amount of watered stock. With tho reduced cost of materials, it is estimated that its plant could bo duplicated to.day for about ono third its capital stock. Presuming that tho Government's business but equalled in amount tho Western Union's, only gross mis management could rendor it unprofitable Tho danger of extending tho spoils system is tho big lion in tho way. FOREIOH OPIHIOH. Tho London journals aro, as n rule, both intelligent and candid in thoir comments upon tho President's Message Tho problem of an enormous Treasury sur plus is ono with which foreign governments aro not called to doal. Ho sensitive is tho nvcrago Britisher to imposition and extortion that no Government in that country could stand for six months that persisted in taxing tho pcoplo, as our citizens havo boon taxod for six yoars, 8100,000,000 annually in excess of its noods. England has for somo tlmo folt tho stress of competition with untaxed American prod tictH. If by socuring untaxed raw materials and machinery our manufacturers could com pcto with hor in tho opon markets of tho world, hor commercial uupremaoy would suffer also. THE BB00KLYH SCHOOL IBSUE. Tho impression that politics moro than anything olso brought about tho dlschargo of Miss MonniB, tho Brooklyn teacher, is likely to prevail, Tho charges of a lack of efficiency and tact, if not eutiroly frivolous, reflect less upon Miss Monnis than upon tho successive school superintendents, who for many years havo especially commonded hor work. Moreovor, her dofenso was not heard. Tho fingers of tho politicians will surely got scorchod if thoy moddlo with tho schools. With Tub Woni,D, tho Timri, tho Boston HeraUl and (7too tho Philadelphia Prtte, and a dozon othor highly prosperous nowspapars of tho first class soiling at two cents, it is quito amusing to boo tho sober arguments of tho old-fogy portion of tho press that tho thing "can't bo done." OnAnLEs II. Knox has rosignod from tho Republican Couuty Committee and an nounced his purposo to support Prosldont Cleveland. Ho is tired of war cries, war taxcB, dead issues and quadrennial scares at nothing. Thoro will bo thousands like him next year. Tho Pennsylvania organs aro hilarious over tho President's Message No doubt tho monopolists might again pilo up 80,000 ma jority in that Btato for thoir Presidential can didate But what of it Thoy don't run tho United States. Tho porfeet success of The World's fore cast of tho President's inossago was due to its observance of tho wIbo admonition of IIosea Bioxlow: Don't never prophesy onless yo know." The World's correspondent know. A young Ithode Island artiBt, a passenger on the ill-fated steamer Scholton, who hod been regarded as lost, has finally turned up alivo. llomauco of this sort affords a very satisfactory sequel to a maritimo disaster. The Tribune' European correspondent says that Mr. Blain0" is always laughing." It is plain that ho had no opportunity to study tho Plumed Knight's countenance when tho Mow York returns camo in. Seven cities of Massachusetts have gono back to tukiug thoir toddy openly, instead of behind tho door. Their local option" Is now oxprosbod in this formula What'll you tako It is proposed to light tho harbor buoys with electricity instead of kerobeno. That this has not been douo beforo is rather ro markablo, in view of tho fact that wohao long had n Battery. Tho Baltimore gas compauies cannot agreo to tho conditions of a trust. When corporuto greed meets corporato greed then comes a tug of war that tho people can view with complacency. Tho rumor, startod by tho boodlcrs. that Katie Metz, the important witness agaiubt tho combino," hod departed for Europe, is false Tho wish was father to tho thought. If A party of Prohibition politicians was (lis covorod tho othor evening at Portland in. dulging in a champagne- supper. Mumm is tho word. Senator Fhie will at once sot about organ izing a Society for tho Provoution of a lie ductlon of Pap to Sixty-Ycar-Old Infant Industries. Tho Eccentrlo Engineers havo been danc ing. It would be an eccentrlo engineer who wouldn't'danoe if he had an opportunity. After all, the President's Message was too lonit-f or tho waj-tarifl admirers. WORLDLINCS.

Tho city Clerk of Ashland, Wis., shot a deer and wished to send it to friends at a distance, but the express company rofuscd to rocelve It. lie thereupon placed the deer In a cheap plno coflln, marked It "John Dcor, deceased, agod twenty one," and shipped It us a corpse. The recent whirl In grata In the Chicago market, which advnncedcorn ten cents a buihol and wheat eight, mads a comfortable fortune for a man named Race, llcforo tho rlss began ho found It difficult to borrow 11 without security, hut last (Saturday ho retired with (M.OOO to his credit. Thomas Rnndall, of IiufTalo, owes hla life to the reprehensible habit of wearing celluloid collars.

Wlillo a lady of Xenla, O., was preparing feed for her chickens recently the diamond In her en gagement ring dropped Into the mixture, and tho loss was not noticed until tho feed had been eaten by the fowls.

The patient remained In a coma for eighteen hours, and was afterwards attacked by a fit of violent madness. The hypnoilzcr has been fined by tho authorities and condemned to two weeks' Imprisonment. An old woman, a beggar, limped aboard a cable car In Kansas city on crutches tho other day and aroused the sympathies of everybody in tho car by her apparent helplessness. As sho left tho car, however, sho forgot her crutchis and jumped to the ground with nil tho agility of a school girl. Thou tho conductor handed hor the crutches amid tho Jeers of tho passengers. Two years ago Fred Arndt, a fanner living near Denton llurbor, Mich., bad his hand shockingly mangled by a circular saw. In course of tlmo ho died, and not long after his death a young man employed on hla farm dug up In tho vegetable patch a carrot of unusual Blzo which frightened him when he saw It. It was an exact representa tion of Arndt's crippled band, and for a moment tho young man thought It was really tho dead man's hand Itself. The discovery created a super stitious awe amung tho villagers. m a RED-LETTER DAYS AT THEATRES. If Iord Tennyson could havo seen Miss Annlo Russell last night as Elalno ho would undoubt edly havo wondered how he could havo written the poem without halng known her, so exquisitely true was sho to tho spirit of the Idyll. And the poet laurcato would have thanked Mr. A. M. Palmer for a produotlon so careful, ho marvel lously beautiful that it held u critical atidlenco In absoluto enjoyment for threo hours. "Klalne," at tho Madison Bquaro Theatre, Is one of tho things that It Is a sin not to sec. It Is Tennyson's rocm lu a series of lovely pictures. Nothing moro artlstto has been seen at tho Madison Bquaro Theatre. Miss Annlo Russell received great praise for her Impersonation. Miss Marie Ilorrougho, as (uccn Uuluovcro.was delightful to look at, ami did as much as her small part would permit very cUectlvely. Tho Sir Lancelot, howovcr, was by no means Tennyson's creation. Mr. halvlnl ranted In a way that was not Anglo-Saxon, and rolled hla r's In a tcrrlfla manner. Ills nmke-up was not effective. Tho remarks made by a lady In the audience covers all criticism coucernlng Mr. Salvlul. "How two women," satil she, "can fall lu love with a man so odlous-looklng (by rea son of his make-up) Is moro than I can understand. What could Elalno and (lulnevere have been think ing of?" Miss Hcligman mado her first appearance on the atago as Llanyit, and did fulrly well. Charles Overton was King Arthur, Louis Masscn Sir Torro and K. M. Holland Sir (lawaln. In no play aro llcnry Irving and Miss Terry seen to such advantage ua lu "Tho Merchant of Venice," which was produced at the Star Theatre laitulght. Not nil the scenic pomp of Faust can give such pleasure as the delightful Impersona tions of Miylock and Portia. Mr. Irving la a won derful Shylock, and all the unpleasant peculiarities of that unlovely being wero given with great force. Miss Terry's Portia Is, perhaps, tho best thing sho does. The Hugo setting last night was faultless. Young Josef Hofmnnn appeared again at a matlm'it) at the Metropolitan Opera-llouso yesterday and played lleetluo en's concerto In U major, No. 1, In a manner that astonished tho large audience. Young llolmauu could undoubtedly continue crowding the large house for a month. People listen to htm with rapt attention and never seem to tiro. Tho boy also played the Wcher-Llszt polaccu, a tnazsurka, a romaua, a souvenir and a waltz. Mine. Teresa Carcno gave him a themo and the manner lu which he Improved upon It seemed to electrify the lady. She kissed the boy and shook his band warmly. Miss Anule Meyers, a young Australian actress, who came to this country lajt winter and was en gaged by Mr. Palmer to understudy Mrs. Dooth In "Jim tho Penman," has been extremely untortu nuto In America. Mrs. Uooth gave her uu oppor tunity to appear at tho Madison Square Theatre lu her place when she was 111. Miss -Meyers, how ever, was 111 at the same time and the theatre was closed. She has never had an opportunity to do anything. Yesterday Mr. llayman, of San Fran cisco, engaged her as leading "Juvenile for hla theatre. Mine. Modjcska will not play in the United States next season. She Is going to Poland to sell somo property sho owns In Cracow and Zakspane tn the early fall.

The people are literally groaning nndcr a heavy burden of taxation, which oppresses labor, Interferes with prod uctho Indus try, and puts a drag on the wheels of trade and commerce. The unused funds aro piling up in the Treasury, creating a nuanclal disturbance wherever capital la needed and onerklng enterprise by caus ing serious apprehensions in regard to tno future. UTILIZING WAVE TOWKU. A Mighty I!nglnc Moved by the llactuallonaj of tho Irn. frVom th &n Franehro Call. After many accidents and trials tho wave-power motor, so long talked of, has boen finished and proved a success, The construction of this ma chine or at paratuK, which was begun in July, l&fl, as at that time considered a hatr-braincd scheme, but the projectors stuck to their plan, and seem now to be in a fair way of success. Gic.it difficulty was experienced at llNt la getting the materials to withstand tho Iforco of rocks thrown against them by tho waves, and tho pipes wntch conduct the water np tne bltifl wero broken and carried away no less tnnn fourteen times. Wncii the schooner Parallel went ashore, and her cargo of dynamite exploded, tho motor was completely wrecked. A mass of rock, weighing tm tons, was thrown from the cliff and fell across the chasm over wnlch tho motor was suspended, blocking it up to such an extent tint nearly three months were consumed In blast logout the debris, hoon afterward nuoiher mass of stone, weighing 1.10 pounds, fell and hud to be removed. 'Iho motor, dialgued and built by l' T. Htcen, la a very simple contrivance, and Btlll Is capable of cxerllnu a great power. Across n chnsm In the rocks, Just north of Parallel Point, a bridge of heavy timbers was built. Suspended irom tils is a huge lun or paddle of oak timbers, with tho spreading portion downward. 'I his Is fastened to the bridge by Immense hinges, width allow It, when in operation, to spring back and forward a ulit.incu of M feet us the win ei strike It. The handle, or upper part of tho fun, Is connected with a solid plunger immu in lnchc, in diameter and having u ntroke of U to 12 feet. This pump, In turn, Is connected with a suction plpo limning ont Into deep water. Tne fan Is so rigged til it It tan lie drawn up out of nacli of the waves when not In use. When a wave comes In tho fun Is thrown forward and forces the air out of the pump barrel In which the plunger works. On the wave receding the fan Is carried seaward and the pluugir Is drawn out, causing n vacuum, and cause a quick rush of water Into the suction pipe. Tie force with wnlch thu water Is drawn upls sufficient to ralso It to an elevation of MO feet above the tldo level. Should this motor prove ns successful as tho pro jectors seem confident It will, several nttiirs will lio built In thu same nclgiiiorhood, and uu Im mense reservoir built on the hill to contain the water. This ono motor, with lt 12-lneh plunger, Is capable of raising la, tnx cublo feet of w.iterBM feet high In every twenty-four hours. Tho uses to which tho water will bo put lire valuable. A8H lni'h pipe will be conducted to the city and water will besiiuplleJ to all branches of Industry where machinery Is used. Duthllig-houses will also bo supplied with salt water uud sewers flushed when 'It U necessary. The llrBt work performed will bo begun In about ten dsys, ami un eight-Inch plpo Is now being laid for the purpose. Thi lait-iiit'iilloncil plpo Is for Adolph Sutro, nnd Is to lie utilized lu sluicing away u large amount of drilling sand from tho heights Just back of tho iiquarlum. This work Is rendered necessary to prevent tho sand from washing on tho beach and retarding thu work. The immense fan of tho motor generates a largo amount of energy not used lu workl.ig the pump, and wiien everytulng Is In shape electrlo dynamos will be erected to utilize this energy for neatlng purposes and t Ha like. Ilnir Amiable New York (lirla Teach China men In Sundny-school. fAVw orJt CoTTftpnmUntt A'uniidt City Journal, J I ntlcndcda Sunday-school of this naturo In session last week, with the purposo of studying tho teachers. Kach Chinaman had a youug lady Be.itod besldo him, and repeated after ner, In the most docile manner, tho words of a hymn. It was written on a card In Chinese and Kngllsh. Tho toaoher would pronounce the Kngllsh word and the Chinaman would repeat It nnd at the same tlmo read tho Chinese word nnd get the meaning of the word lu that way. Their pronunciation was very laughable. "Je sus, Lover of My Soul" wns rendered, "Jesus, Yovcr of My Soul," In a slng-songy manner, which tho teachers could not correct to save themselves. When the Chinamen jolued lu a chorus oven tho learners found it difficult to keep sober counte nances. 'I he teachers all addressed their pupils as "bo)s," although some of them were grown to that ago when bald heads and toothless gums are found In our own couutryiuen. Nearly all the cniiH se wero dressed In silk robes or different colors, and somo of them looked qnttc dlgullled. I wus told that they wero all latiudrymen. A few were dressed In tho American style, and some of theso were quite clanulllrd, wearing diamonds In their polished yellow shirt-bosoms and In their cravats, and wero otherwise notteu up in tho late-it style, The pupils seemed to bo vi ry opt under Iho Instruction given them by Iho young women. The ltev. llr. MucArtnur, who wus superintend ing the Instruction, said ho thought thu Chlneso wuuted women teachers becattso they are lu their natures so much llko children. To my eyes tho school looked more llko a Jodv meeting of men uud young women than llko a class of pupils receiving instruction. 1 talked with n number of young women and asked them how they liked tno work, and fouuu that they wero quite gushing over It. They ouo and all mined that thoy would mucli proier to touch the Chinamen thuu American men. The Chinamen, they said, were v cry appreciative, and did everything that was told them. They snowed u great desire to learn and were us geutlo ns so manv doves. "Why," Bald one pretty Mr), "If wo would let them, tscy would Just shower us with llowera nnd tokins of their esteem.

And the transfer Is cheaper and easier now, not to say doubly more speody, thati it was a few years ago to send teu '.lines the amount. Few people renilio how closely the great cities of tho world are connected bv chained lightning and how cosmopolitan civilized Immunity has become, 'Iho tele grann companies do this sort of banking business by wire every day between tho cities of America, lint It won't send a dollar, nor a thou sand dollars, ut iinv price across tho ocean.

One Kenejon Why a Ilufllo In Aid of ITugh Mullen's Mother Was Held. Tho rich tones of an untrained tenor voico singing a patriotic Irish air, with a harmoni ous combination of other mnlo voicos of dif ferent register joining in ringing chorus, at tracted tho attention of a Would rcportor in a Third avenue saloon Saturday night. Tho music prococded from a roar room, and tho bartondcr, who had just fillod tho ro portor's ordor for a cigar, onswerod his in quiry regarding its cause by pointing to a sheet of foolscnp pinned up behind tho bar. This scrap of paper bore this inscription Ihe Raffle for Hugh Mullen's Mother adjourned till Saturday, Dec 3, at 8 r. u. Hero was n bnll worthy of Boyle Booho, the celebrated Irishman who said that ho "never opened his mouth without putting his foot in it." It wasn't possible that Hugh Mullen's mother, or any othor old woman, was tho prizo which had boen rallied for, but tho re porter asked Who won tho old lady Tho bright Connaught boy behind tho bar understood otonconnd explained: "Theroaro ten men in that room who didn't leave, their country for their country's good,' but bo couso tncy wero too good Irishmen to suit tho ideas of loynlty cntortnined by the British Government. Hugh Million was n Dublin lad who was sontencod to lifo imprisonment a yonr and a half ago. Ho was tho only support of his aged and widowed mother. The men in thcro nro Mullen's friends and companions and thoy got up this rnfflo to raise a littlo money for n hristmas prosont for tho poor old mother ovor tho sen who has been mado childless by British oppression. She knows never a word about it nnd won't sho bo surprised to receive 200 or $300?" "But what did Mullen do to receive a lifo sentence Oh, ho just killod a constable and another oftlcor that attempted to arrest him and tako away somo weapons which ho was concealing for tho glory of Ireland." Then ho was o Moonlighter or a Fenian "no was an Irishman," was tht proudly sententious reply. I.oada ot Christmas Presents. Tho big fancy-goods Arm of J.

TWO COMPANIES FOR ONE HOUSE. Complication Caused by a Change of Plans nt tho Union Hquare. When Manager J. M. Hill arranged 'with Messrs. Bobsou and Crane to continue their engagement at tho Union Squaro Theatre, 4' thoso gentlemen woro, of courso, delighted i and disposed of their dates throughout tho country in a satisfactory manner. It was also supposod that Mr. Hill had disposod in a similar manner of tho attrao- ,i tions which wero 'to havo been seon at tho Union Squaro Theatro. It seems, however, that tho company playing Deacon Brodie held a contract with Mr. Hill to play at the, Union Squaro Theatro tho week beginning i Dec. 19 on a rental, and that thoy deposited money somo six months ago on account of tho rent. Mr. Hill tolographed to the man agers of this combination that thoy must cancel tho week for which thoy had con tracted. No attention was paid to the tele gram recoived from Mr. Hill, nnd that gen tlemnn, giving tho matter no further thought, went on with his negotiations with Itobson and urnne. So now tho "Deacon Brodio" company insist upon holding their week at the Union Squaro Theatro aud refuse to surrender it under any circumstances. They claim that thoy own the theatre for tho week beginning i Doo, 19, They aro now in Philadelphia, but it was said yestorday that thoy will shortlf bo in New York prepared to tako possession of Mr. Hill's theatre. They havo put tho matter into tho hands of a lnwyor. m p A Flno Display of Dress Roods.

Tne next eleven months wilt be spent by American poli ticians In the Presidential canvass. It aecmi, therefore, that Mr. Cleveland must either be very euro of his ground or very careless of obtaining a renomlnatlon, alnco he has made up nls mind lo take a step that will lnovltaftly ullenato the Protectionist section of tbe Democratic party. If Mr. Cleveland Intends to seek reelection, as is generally believed, his messagolsa bold atroke, which at lcaat deserve luccess, and which will foreo the hand-to-mouth politicians to face the Issues raised by the proposal to tcducc the dutlea to tbo strict proportions of a Tariff for llevc nue. President Cleveland Is careful to say that lu contending lor tho abrogation of Ihcexlstlng tariff the lawa which be describee as vicious, luequltablo and Illogical and as a aourco of unnecessary taxa tion, bo Is not arguing for any Free-Trade theory. He even speaks with respect of Protection and maintains that tbe cxlstcnco of tho manufact uring Interests should not bo Imperilled. We hsve confldenco In the laws by which, when trade Is practically free, every nation finds out Ita fittest work and turns Its sdvantages to best account. Mr. Cleveland's message will bo a damper upon Free Traders, or fiscal reformers, who are to mcot In London to-morrow night under Mr. Howard Vincent's leadership and to endeavor to galvanize into life thu policy stillborn at Oxford. It la not when America la doubling whether tho blessings of Protection are not after nil a mockery and xnaro that England Is likely to fling Free Trado overboard In a panic The Morning JVtt, commenting on President Cleveland's message, says: Tho moisige will produce a profound sensation In Kuropo ua well as In Amerlcs, and will strcngthon the l'rco Tradors' case throughout tho world. m WAS HE TO BOB THE HANK OF ENGLAND?
