The Law does not permit the fling Of PEN

But she requires raw materials for her
manufactures and food beyond the ca
pacity of her soil to produce to main
tain her people. Under such circum
stances free trade is a necessity. That
she should urge its adoption upon other
countries is quite natural. They would
promote her interests by doing SO; but
each country will be governed by its
own circumstances in deciding wheth-
er to adopt the free trade or the protec-
tive policy. The greater number have
thus far decided in favor Of system
more or less protective. England,
however, win not venture upon the
adoption Of discriminating duties in or
der to force free trade upon other ma
tions, because she cannot afford to try
the experiment. Such duties levied
against the United States would in
crease the price of the food which sus-
tains her workmen, and this would
cause rise in wages, and an enhanced
cost of production. She could no Ion
ger sell her products as cheaply as now,
and thus she would be less able to COM
pete in the markets of the world than
at present, all of which is evidently
very apparent to Mr.. Bright. Niltcdu-
kee Republican and Nesos.

ing of the Legislature in passing such
law. It has been condemned by the
Republican press with about as much
unanimity as by the Democratic press.
The remarkable conduct of the last
Legislature, probably, arose in part
from the fact that it was packed for
the purpose of electing a United States
Senator. It happened that it had to
elect two Senators. Its energies were
all exhausted in the efforts, and it
merely staggered around through most
of the other proceedings. If the lesson
will teach the Republican primaries to
attend better to their business, and see
that men who understand something
about law-making are nominated to re-
sponsible trusts in the legislative body,
the Anti-Treat" Law and the other
mistakes will not be without their good
effects. The Objectionable law amounts
to nothing, and it can scarcely be the
means of disrupting the party, though
it may be the means of putting more

HOW TO PREVENT LAMP CHrar

A Leipsic journal, which make d
specially of the matter relating to PISS
gives method which it asserts Will
prevent chimneys from cracking. The
treatment will not only render lam
chimneys, tumblers and articles mare
durable, but may be applied with adj.
vantage to crockery, stone ware, po.ce.
lam. etc. The chimneys, tumblers. etc
are put in a pot filled with cold wster,
to which some common table salt las
been added. The water is well boiled
over fire, and then allowed to cool
slowly. When the articles are talen
out and washed, they will be found I'd
resist afterwards any sudden change
of temperature. The process is simply
one of annealing, and the slower the
cooling part of it is conducted the
more effective will be the work.

There is a prospect of the Senate's

consider those appointments at least
upon which there is no disagreement.
This Is what the people have been ex-
peeting them to do for some time past,
but still the weeks have glided serene

longer without the Senate's dissolving
into thin air and Senators retiring from
the field In disgust. If the considera-

The battle Of Shiloh is being fought
over again in the newspapers. No blood
shed thus far, as far as heard from,
as the guns are loaded with powder
only, but the noise is tremendous.
The battle is being viewed from a
southern as well as northern stand
point, and those who have any tangible
hold on the history Of this great event
of the war will need to hold on tight
or they viii have their ideas considera-
bly, disturbed. There is a great deal of
unwritten history in the world, and
especially in great battle. Whether
General A or General B did thus and

thought will altogether take the place of the

General Brady dlsay0ws any act call
ing into question his personal integri-
ty in the management of the "star
route" service. 1t Is claimed that he
has carefully preserved the opinions of
prominent congressman and ex-con-
gressmen recommending the increased
service on routes where such service
has been increased, and that his down
fall will be accompanied by the down
fall Of many men who stand high in the
party. By the star routes" is desig-
mated lines of towns and villages
which, having no rail or water COM
munication, receive their mails by
stage or mail lines. In the west the
establishment of these lines has been q

easy to see that when such line is
established, with, at the beginning,
weekly or bi-monthly mail, rapid set
Ting of the country would soon lead to
a demand for more frequent mails. II
is just here that fraud is claimed, for il
is found that contractors receiving say
$4,000 for q weekly mail, on the in.
crease of this service to daily mail
which could have been done at $4,000
or $50, 700. the actual pay has been null
tiplied by seven and increased to $70,-
900. This is paying more than the
service is worth. The favored contract
ors are those who, taking the original
contract, and then stimulating the PEG.

frequent mails, have had the considera-
ton for their service increased in the

ing several contracts of this kind, and
subletting to parties for reasonable pay
for the labor and capital needed to be
employed, and pocketing the balance,
has found it q profitable business.
Whether General Brady will extract
himself from blame remains to be seen.
