An Astounding LUU
It takes tea columns of space in the
-New Yorlt orld to recapitulate all the
strikes which have occurred iu protected
industries in this couutry since the Me
Kinley law went into effect. The mag
nitude of the lift is astounding, even to
those who have long been convinced
that "protection" protecU capital in iu
aggressions on labor. Sixteen days after
the act went into effect 1,200 iron miners
at Dayton, Tenn., struck against s re
duction of wages. That was the first,
and it has been followed by no fawer
than 473 strikes against reduction of
wages under the operation of the Mc
Kinley tariff iniquity. As The World
expresses it, there "has been no instant
of time sinco the McKinley tariff act
went into effect that there has not been
in progress somewhere within the
United States a strike against a pro
posed reduction of wages in some pro
tected industry." St. Paul Glebe.
A Constantly Narrowing Margin.
The hnpressiveness of Grover Cleve
land's speech was principally in the fact
that ho spoke truths that all have ex
perienced, when he said that the people
are "burdened a consumers by a tariff
system that relentlessly and unjustly
demands from them in the purchase of
the necessaries and comforts of life at:
amount scarcely met by wages of hard
and daily toil." From every city and
hamlet in tho land the facts prove this
truth, and no sweeping general state
ment can convince the consumers of the
country, who seo the margin between
wages and cost of living grow thinner
and thinner, that they are being benefit
ed by Republican protection. Utica (N.
Y.) Observer.
An Edifying Object Leeeon.
In the proof of the enormous profit
made by tho Carnegie company in the
production of steel ingots under the Mc
Kinley tariff may be seen the ground on
which Mr. Swank congratulated the
members of the Iron and Steel associa
tion on the passage of "the most protec
tive of all the tariff schedules. " In it,
too, will be seen the basis of Mr. Carne
gie's ability to exemplify tho great
American system of protection by pur.
chasing castles In Scotland, England
and other countries, whese citizens he
desires to cheer with a sight of a tri
umphant Democrat. Will P-epublican
organs continue to defend the iron and
steel schedule? Chicago Times.

While that portion of the banner oc
cupied by the name of Harrison some
times exhibits itself to tho gaze tf the
spectator, the tail of the streamer which
supports the name of Reid hangs like a
dead weight even in the briskest kiud of
a gale. At times it seems as if Harri
son's name would rise to the emergency,
as it were, but as often the name of Reid
pulls back like a balky horse and drags
down the proprietor of grandpa's hat to
a perpendicular. The banner is very sug
gestive, on the whole, of the Republican
feeling toward the presidential ticket.

"They Know Their Enemy."
It is all very well to shout that the
force bill is dead. It is all very well to
cry aloud that the Republican party is
now a party of love, having forgotten
its old hatreds and wiped off the pages
of its history the many former attempts
to make the federal bayonet control the
southern ballot. Southern white men
are not to be deceived, however. They
know their enemy, whether behind a
domino or in the broad glare of elec
tricity. Nashville American.

PORTRAITS OF CCLUMSU3.
The rnUic rclWl pupils, who are
going to have tho lead nil over America
in the celebration of the 4o0th anr.iver
tury of the discovery of America by
Columbus, are already asking how Co
lumbus looked.
Many leading American publications
have recently contained timely articles
on the great discoverer, nnd the variety
of portraits which ha accompanied them
articles has bn surprising.
By the hiehest authorities it is con
ceded that thero is no likeness of Colum
bus whose claim to consideration is In
disputable. From Oviedo and his own son Ferdi
nand two persons who knew him we
have descriptions of his appearance,
upon which must be baed our Judg
ment of the alleged portraits.
From them we learn that his face
was long, neither full mr thin; his
cheek bones rather high; his nose aqui
line; his eyes light gray: his complexion
fair and high colored. Up to the age ot
thirty his hair was of light color, but
became rapidly gray after that age. It
mast be admitted iu the face of these
details that not one of the portraits gives
very positive evidence of presenting the
great discoverer as ho lived.
The earliest claimant for considera
tion is a wood engraviv.g by Paolo
Oiovio, published iu l."73, which wa
give.
Y iL -ft
Next In point of nntiqnity is the en
graving called the De Bry portrait. It
shows a head covered by a three cor
nered cap, the face being short nnd
broad und having the characteristics of
the Dutch in a marked degree. It does
not correspond with the best authenti
cated descriptions. De Ery claimed
that the original canvas from which it
was taken was painted from life by
order of Ferdinand, the king.
Jomard published in 1845 a nortn.1t in
support of a Tltianesque canvas, which
he had obtained at Vicenza. This pic
ture bore the inscription "Christophoru
Columbus." Ha claimed that the f:i.
tures were in accord with the descrip
tion of writers contemporaneous with
Columbus. The pointed beard and Flem
ish ruff he accounted for bv assuming
that they were the additions of a latei
nana, inese and other accessories,
however, prevented the acceptance of
Jomard's views.
eKMirefui
There are manv other an rnlTaA H'Vo.
nesses of Columbus. Thuv
scattered and it is not easy to link them
with the three shown above, which prob
ably have the best claims to consider
ation. But these three have little in
common. They would never be taken
for portraits of the same person.
The most authoritative descriptions ct
the stature, complexion and ersonality
of Columbus coincide, and yet the most
generally accepted portraits ara not in
harmony. Many artists disregard the
statement that his nose was aquiline
and make it of a decidedly retrousse
type; others portray him as a brunette
with a short, fat and beardless face.
The next time we see him he is a blond
with a long, thin face, well covered with
whiskers. We always know him, as the
artist thoughtfully introduces his name;
otherwise a lively guessing match might
result. The style of the pictures would
naturally suggest the celebrities of a
few centuries ago. They wight be taken
for Plato, Othello the Moor, Alaric,
Julius Osar, Richard III and a score
of others whose faces figure in history.
Even u composite of the many portraits
could not blend or unite in one the dis
cordant conceptions which we see every
day. We must know Columbus by his
deeds, and not by his pictures.

In New Orleans the dog catchers who
feed the pound with vagrant curs pro
ceed about their work with a slip noose,
which they hold in front of the dog's
Lead or under his feet In Sau Francisco
the street cur rue captured with biff
hand nets that look like rxsggeralions of
the tools with which entomologists chase
butterflies. But tho net is a new thing
for Snn Fraucisco, and before its us was
introduced that city boasted the most
scientific and interesting dog catchers In
the Union. Tlmy did the work with
lariats, used as cowboys use the flying
loop, such as was introduced in the
Southwest by tho Mexicans.
It was a source of never-failing Interest
to the San Franciscans and to all who
visited their city to s then wonderfully
expert men estoh a dog. The dog woul J
be ahead of the mail or across the street.
The man wouU have his coil of rot hid-
Uen behind luiu, and would advance to
within reach of the animal, whea, with
uneiring accuracy, the rope shot out and
the dog was enpturrd. The movement
was lightning-like, and the accuracy of
aim was suoii that a dog was known tone
doomed whsnerer a dog catcher set eyes
on him. The instaut a man threw hi
l.iriat he begsn to pull it in again with a
dog on the end of it He always pulled
the dog up Iw tween Ms legs, gripped the
animal's neck between his knees, took off
the noose, and. catching the cur by the
neck, touted him in the pound wacoo.
The dogs became wonderfully knowing
and eeued to scent a dog catcher
nround a comer. It was argued that the
method of capture was cruel, and as a
r-sult the lariats are out of us and the
, Lig lu.Urfljr ueU have taken their places,

I Tlint cattle and horse can communl
cnte intelligence to each other, and aro
endowed with a certuin mnount of rea
soning faculty, th following facta, says
a ranchman, are pretty conclusive nroof.
I once purchased a station on which a
large number of cattle and horse liaj
gone wild. To get cattle in I fenced th
permanent water a distance of twenty
mile leaving traps at intervals. At
first this answered all right, but soon tho
cattle became exceedingly cautious about
entering th traps, waiting outside for
two or thro night befor going in, and
if they could smell a man or hi tracks,
not Koing in at all. At last they adopted
a plan which beat me. A mob would
come to the trap gate, and one would go
in and drink and come out, and then an
other would do the same, and o on, till
all Imd watered. They had evidently
arrived nt the conclusion that I would
not en tch one and frighten all the others
away.
To get in wild horses, six hundred of
which were running on a large plain
about twenty thousand acres I erected
a large stock yard, with a gradually
widening lane, in a hollow where it'
could not eai!y bo seen, and by station
ing hoi semen at intervals on the plain
galloped the wild hemes in. My first
hunt, which Listed soni days, was suc
cessful, the wild horses heading toward
the mouth of the lane without much
difficulty, hut of course soma escaped by
charging back at the stock yard gate,
and in other ways. My second hunt,
about a month later, was a failure ; every
mob of horses on the plain seemed to
know where the yard was. and would
not head that way. This seemed to show
Hint the horse that escaped from tho
first hunt told all the others where the
stock yard was.
Antiquity of the Plane.
A very interesting discovery has been
made at the Romau city of Silchester.
The excavators came across a dry well
which, on being explored, proved quite a
little museum of antiquity. Some fifty
five feet down the dice-era found an urn.
shaped pottery rase, about a foot long,
quite intact, and curiously enough, pro
tected by lump of chalk built around it.
Th vae, which probably originally
contained some precious substance, was
quite empty. Above it w as deposited a
uuniber of iron implements, most of
which were in a wonderful state of pres
ervation. Th principal specimen Is a carpenter's
plane of quite modera type, although
unquestionably mora than fifteen hun
dred years old, three or four axes retain
ing their fin cutting edge and still
quite serviceable, a number of chisel
and gouge of all shape and aix, ham
mers, adzes, saws, file, etc. Among tho
smith's tools may be specified a brazier
for burning charcoal, quit complete;
two or three anvil of different size and
shapes, a fine pair ef tongs adapted for
. . . . .
lining cruci Dies, a curious in pod candel
abrum lamp or candlestick, and several
other curious objects, th precis uses of
which bar not yet been determined. In
addition there ar several iarg bar of
iron, a couple of plowshares and a broken
sword. This is undoubtedly th most
important find at Silchester since the
discovery' of the bronze Romau eagle now
at Strathfieldsaye, torn years ago.
The Nalla Freaa Jeene' Hande.
The "Iron Crown," which worked up
the minds of the people of the middle
ages to such an extent as finally to be
come an object of worship, is, in fact, a
gold crown, the secret magic of th name
resting on the tradition that the Inside
ring of Iron was mad from the nails
which were driven through the hands of
Jesus at the timo of the crucifixion.
But little is known concerning the his
tory of the Iron crown until after tho
coronation of Agilulf, King of the Lom
bards. It is generally believed that it
was made for that monsrch in the year
CO I. It was used by Charlemagne and
by all the after emperors of France, who
were kings of the Lombards. Napoleon
put it on his head when he was in
Milan in 1806, saying i "God hath given
it to me. "
This celebrated relio is now in Naples
nmong the stute jewels. It was captured
nnd taken by the Austrinns to Vienna iu
1M0, but whs returned to Italy in 1868.
