The Industrial Situation.

The marked feature of the industrial situa-
ton is the paralysis that overproducton has
inflicted upon large manufacturing enter
prises, especially those which our present
tariff legislation is most designed to stimulate
and protect In The Sun of Saturday last it
was shown that the stoppage of cotton mills,
which begun in Massachusetts and not long
since reached Maryland, has extended also to
Augusta, Ca where, in the midst of the cot
ton fields the manufacture of the great South.
ern staple may be supposed to be conducted
at the least possible expense. 1t is a general
fact affecting the cotton manufacturing indus
tries not only of the States named, but of the
Northern and Middle States, and of others of
the Southern States. What it means for
the egions of bread winners who are thus
thrown out of employment it is not difficult to
imagine Want, misery, painful struggles TO
tide over the period of business depression
and hardly less painful efforts to adapt them
selves to new employment-sucha are the ex-
perences to which thousands of families are
now being subjected. The outlook is sad
enough and is not improved now that Win
ter approaches apace. But it is not the cot
ton manufacturing industry alone that is
paralyzed with the lamentable results here
depicted. Overproduction is the vice, or er-
ror, that affects almost all our large industries
Miners, ironworkers, and producers in gen.
eral are at present struggling under the bur-
den of their excessive products. The farmer,
in the universal clog of business, finds the de-
mand for his produce restricted, and the price
it will bring correspondingly low. If he
turns from the home to the foreign market,
he finds that the plentiful harvesls OF other
countries have diminished the value of his
own. Like the fly of the fable, he is over.
Whelmed in the unhoped-for abundance of the
gifts of nature. The railroads, in their turn,
have comparatively little to carry, or if they
do large business do it at small profit.
They accordingly join in the general move
ment of cutting down expenses, adding, un-
intentionally of course, to the widespread
distress of the laboring element. AS all this
comes about after twenty odd years of So
called "protection" of labor, it is of interest
to inquire whether the very different condi-
ton of things in 1860 might not come back if
the low tariff of that period were reverted TO-.

was unsurpassed in that city for numbers, in

Senator Bayard of Delaware made power
full speech in which he paid a whoe-soued
noble tribute to the personal merits of Cover

love of money, not TO achieve success nor
arouse noisy admiration, but chiefly to per-
form his duty in that station of life to which

this alike in offices comparatively humble as

Mr. Goshorn, interrogatively
"Well, you see, had t." replied Jarphy,
apologetically. II grew tired ofthem years
ago. They've lost all interest 10 me. They've
got to be wearisomc and monotonous but
the children's fond of them, just like you and
used TO be when we were children, and my

to dsappoint him."
"But didn't see any little boy with YOU"

A stylishly dressed woman was before
a magistrate recently for stealing some rib

"She is French" explained the lawyer,

The clerk frowned incredulously.
"What age is she ?" he asked.

DON'T BE IN A HURRY.

DON L RE I'm n HI " XIII.
Don't be In hurry to answer yes or no;
Nothing's lost by being reasonably slow,
In hasty moment you may give consent,
And through years of torment leisurely repent.
If lover seeks you to become his wife,
Happiness or misery may be yours for life;
Don't be in a hurry your feelings to confess,
But think the matter over before you answer
yes.
Should one ask forgiveness for grave offence,
Honest tears betraying earnest penltence,
Pity and console him and his fears alay,
And don't be in hurry to drive the child away,
Hurry brings us worry worry wears us out
Easy going people know what they reabout.
Needless haste will bring us surely to the ditch,
And trouble overwhelm us if we hurry to be
rich.
Don't be in hurry to throw yourself away;
BY the side of wisdom for while delay.
Make your life worth living; nobly act your
part;
And don't be in hurry to spoil it at the start.
Don't be in hurry to speak In angry word
Don't be in hurry to spread the tale you've
heard,
Don't be in hurry with evil ones to 60;
And don't be in ahurry to answer yes or no.

How Wooden SpOOIs are Made.

The birch is first sawed into sticks four or
five feet long and seven eighths of an inch Ia
three inches square, according to the size of
the spool to be produced These sticks are
thoroughly seasoned. They are sawed into
short blocks, and the blocks are dried in
hot-air kiln. At the time they are sawed, a
hole is bored through them. One whirl of
the little block against sharp knives, shaped
by pattern, makes the spools at the rate of
one per second. A small boy feeds the spool
machine, simply placing the blocks in a
spout, and throwing out the knotty or defect
i've stock The machine is automatic, but
cannot do the sorting The spools are re-
volved rapidly in drums, and polish them
selves. For some purposes they are dyed
yellow, red or black. They are made in
thousands of shapes and sizes.
When one sees on q spool of thread 400
yards" or 1900 yards" these words do not
signify that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool has been gagged and is
supposed to contain so much thread. When
silk or linen or n cotton firm wants spool
made it sends Il pattern to the spool-maker
This pattern gives the size and shape OF the
barrel and of the head and bevel. These bar
spool will hold. Mr. Dwelley's factory turns
out 100000 gross of spools per day, and con-
sumes $500 cords of birch annually. His
years spools are worth $4,000. Thirty.five
hands are employed in the MILL During the
winter $50 wood.chsppers are sometimes
employed. Mr.. Dwclley is an inventor and
machinist. He invented, designed and made
every machine in his shop.

The Keely Motor.

Mr.. Keely, of motor fame, will no longer
be laughed at as crank. Last Saturday, at
Sandy Hook, New York, in the presence of
officers of the army and Others, he gave
public exhibition of the power of his newly
discovered force, by firing small cannon
The liquid used in the experiment was, &C
cording to the published accounts, five drops
of prepared water. With this infinitesimal
quantity of water he generated the force,
which he stored in two steel cylinders. He
took to Sandy Hook the cylinders and the
cannon with which the experiment was made.
He had the cannon loaded, and attaching
hollow wire, scarcely thicker than a hair, to
the gun as it Stood on the gun carriage and
to the cylinder at his foot, turned n little
valve with a wrench and let on his unknown
force. The bullet hit the target fifteen hun
dred feet distant. There was slight report,
q streak of blush vapor but no smoke, and
scarcely any recoil. Three shots were made
at the target in succession. One bullet went
four hundred and eghtyt two feet per second,
another four hundred and twenty-five, and
the third five hundred and ninety three
The velocity, therefore, was by official mea-
surement from third to two fifths that of n
ball fired from Springfield rifle, but the
penetrating power appears to be great, as the
last shot went five inches into heavy spruce
planks placed about twenty feet from the
gun.

rs HE A crrrzEs |?

A report has been circulated with the
endeayor TO injure the prospect of the
eleetion of w. ". Perrigo, who is a
nominee of the Republicans and of the
Young Mems Independent Political
Club for County Commissioner. THAT he
Is not citizen Of the Uaited States. -
Upon investigation the facts are ascer-
tanned 20 be these, and are given 20 the
public that the siander may be hushed
at It's birth.
w. w. Perrigo Was born in New
Brunswick. His father and mother
were both born In Massachusetts, of
American parents, and married In the
United States. His father removed to
New Brunswick-shortly before his birth
for the purpose OF engaging in business
in that Province, never gsinine perm T.
nent residence there or abandoning his
allegiance TO the United States. Ia 1864
w. w. Perrieo settled in Pennsylvania,
aud in 1866 removed to Kitsap county
ia this Territory, from whence he re-
moved to King county. where be has
ever since resided. II therefore appea. 9
that the father OF w. w. Perri2o was at
the time of his birth q citizen of the
United States. Section 1888 of tha Re-
vised Statutes of the Unitsd States says:
All children heretofore born or here
after born out of the limits and juris-
diotion of the United States. whose faith
ers were or may be at tine time of their
birth citizens thereof, are declared to
be citizens of the United Ststss.r Mr..
Perrigo Is therefore q citiz N of the
United States. He is also citixen who
is Thoroughly converssnt with the needs
Of the county. He Ia an honest and GA
pable man aud good citizen. and his
heart beats in unison with the great
heart OF tho people upon the sll impor-
tant question of absolute forfeiture of
the land grant OF ths Cascade division.
We hope ha will be elected.
