Paper Gas I'tpes.

A novel use of paper has been found
in the manufacture of gas pipes. They
are constructed as follows An endless
strip OF hemp paper ,one width of which
equals the length of the tube, is passed
through bath of melted asphalt, and
then rolled tightly and smoothly on a
core to give the required diameter.
When the number OF layers rolled is
sufficient TO afford the desired thickness,
the tube is strongly compressed, the
outside sprinkled with fine sand and the
whole cooled in water.
" hen cold, the core is drawn out and
the inside served with waterproofing
composition. In addition to being abso-
lutely tight and smooth, and much
cheaper than iron, these pipes are of
great strength, for when the sides are
scarcely three fifths of an inch thick,
they will stand press ire Of more than
fifteen atinospheres. II buried under
ground they will not be broken by set.
Element, nor when violently shaken OIL
Jared. The material being bad con
1uctor of heat, the pipes do not readily
| freeze.

THE Times takes exception to our
editorial of yesterday. Well, for the
sake of argument, we will take the
Times figues, if that will suit 1t better,
and zee how they will pan out. 1t says
it is true there was an overdraft OF $685.
900 on the bank, but there was floating
debt of $4,000 besides, not provided for.
All right, put the overdraft and the
floating debt together, and they foot up
$4,000. OF course this sum is indie
pendent of uncollected taxes and water
rents, which would have reduced it one,
half, anyhow. Well, so much for that.
Now for the Democratic debt. By au-
thority of the Legislature it borrowed
$40. 900. BY authority of Martin Farrell
$40, 900 more are needed-total, $4,000.
Difference in favor of the Republicans,
$50, 000, without taking into considera-
ton unsolicited taxes and water rents.
This reckoning should please the Times,
AS its figures are the basis upon which
| it stands.

School Examinations.

The Board of Education did sensi-
BILE thing last evening, by changing the
rule relating to the examinations pre-
ceding the summer vacation. Instead
Of examinations these have dritted into
school exhibitions, which amused and
gratified few parents and visitors,
without giving any test of learning and
capacity for learning DIR. Shorsli dge
spoke from the standpoint Of gentle.
man of long experience as member Of
the b ,ard, when he condemned the sys-
tenn.
One of the principal grounds Of his
objections was that they incurred al
expense that many parents, especially
at this time, were unable to bear. Not
nnfrequently children were required tc
appear in certain colored dresses, some
times in costume, to perform certain
acts or to speak with effect certain
pieces of defamation, and often chill
dren were instructed to ask their parent
for moneysfor bouquets to present Wis
iting members of the Board-sometime
to outside visitors-without saying any
thing about presents which cost consid
cradle money, that would lose thei
effect If not presented in public at thi
exhibition.
All this detracts from the hours G
study and inteIfeus materially wit
the lessons. Mr.. Feakel, An experience
educator and member of the Board
thought differently. These little eS
amina.ions, or by whatever name the.
are called, excited, he thought, tn
pride of both parents and pupils, VIII
would most gladly bear the little eS
pense connected with them for the SAX
of gratifying the ambition of their Chi
dren. The Board, however, saw prope
to check what it deemed was CROWN
evil, leaving these examinations discr,
tionary with the committees and teacl
ers in schools where no special exam
nations were provided for.

Cheerful Girls.

Good and healthy girls are almost al
ways cheerful. No novelist would
consider his youthful heroine complete
If ringing laugh" were omitted
from the list of her charms and in real
life the girls who do not laugh now aud
then are seldom trusted or liked by
their companions. Even beauty will
not save them. A belle who fails to
understand the jests CT her admirers
and smiles in amiable bewildermenr
while other people are laughing lie soon
left with no consolation save to wonder
what any body can see in her riyal-a
girl with" tip-tited" nose perhaps, and
large mouth and freckles, but the
happy possessor OF pair OF merry eyes
and cheerful mind. The gift of gaiety
is indeed of great value but it mus
be gaiety which originates in a kint
and CHEEKY heart, not that which Il
born of mere excitement or grati6et
vanity.

A LARGE number of unemployed
workmen are wondering what has be-
come of the good times promised by
Democratic orators when they were
advocating the election of Cleveland.
They were told that wages would be
better, work more plenty, and the price
Of produce would be much lower. 1t
mas been six months since the election
Of Cleveland and nearly two since his
ina -auraticn and how now stand Demo.
cratic promises. Where are the higher
wages ? Answer workmen of Will
mington. Where can steady work be
found for all who want work =? How
about the prices of produce ? Where
can tho promised cheap living be found 2
What are left but broken pledges and
promises ? The good Democratic times
are here sure enough and none know
that better than tho Democrats who per-
mitted themselves to be gulled by such
promises and now walk the streets
without anything to do.

If the reported news from the AZ
CHAN frontier be true, then the Afghans
have the laugh this time If there is any
such thing as laugh in war. 1t is
said that Russian force of seventeen
hundred met the Afghans and were
entirely wiped out. This may be true,
but it lacks confirmation. If it be
true, however, it may be the means OF
stopping the Russians in their ad
career for war, ard make them re-
member that other nations know how

THE Democrats, with an eye to re-
form. are plotting for the election OF
Col. Morrison rs United States Senator
from Illinois. A member Of the Illinois
Legislature, named Mulhearn, a Demo
crat, is o tariff man and won't vote for
Morrison, and 30 the administration Is
invoked to make 1t interesting for Null
hearn. The latter is said to favor the
appointment Of man named McGar-
rigle as United States Marshal for
Northern Illinois, and straightway
President Cleveland is asked to appoint
McGarrigle to the Office named, In the
hope that Mulhearn's vote may be cap
tured for Morrison. 1t 10 said that the
latter is satisfied to make this the price
OF his vote fo- Morrison, but 1t is further
said that the administration hesitates to
carry on. the contract, as 1t looks like
too bold move to secure Democratic
Senator from Illinois. The hesitation
of Cleveland to do anything the bosses
desire Is indeed surprising, when the
appointments of Pillsbury, Chase and
Troup as revenue collectors in Maine,
Massachusetts and Connecticut are
taken into consideration.

DuiI Times ana the Tariff.

While it is encouraging to be told
that car pet weavers Of Kensington and
the operatives In wooden manufactori
have gone to work, the fact that they
have done 80 by reduction OF wages
IL not 90 reassuring to the operatives.
II the causes for reduction OF wages
were local in their character they could
be borne with more equanimity OF tenn
per, but when we consider that the re-
duction of wages was the result OF re-
duction of the tariff on wool and WOOL
ems two years ago, 1t becomes much
harder to bear by the operatives, when
they discover that their wages are to
be reduced down to q level with the
half starved labor OF Europe. About
twenty-five per cent. Of our population
Ii engaged in some manner or In some
way connected with the wool business,
and the whole business is crippled to
appease the hungry nav Of foreign
labor. We have the word of Joshua
Gregg, of Gregg Bros, Philadelphia,
that wooden goods Of all characters, in
Guiding ready made clothing and
cloaks, come into this country by the
GsSfHg women WOMEN are s,i idle, and this he says
is directly traceable to a congressional
tinkering with our tariff Of two years
ago.
Speaking for the g rm with which he
Is connected he says: "Our foreign
correspondents write US that they have
never been so crowded with business,
mainly filling American orders fol-
Woolen goods and yarns. Sheep are
selling at thirty to forty per cent. o.
their former value for the slaughterine
pen, and wool to-day is at sixty te
seventy per cent. of its value two years
ago."
Just as the reduced tariff has affected
the wool and wooden trade it affects
everything else, upon which a reduction
was made. 1t Is seen and felt in the
iron ind ustries in the same manner
The tin industry is entirely broken up
by 1t. What wonder, then, is it that
hard times rule.
Hundreds OF thousands of labcrers
have no employment, and yet there are
foreign manufactured goods enough
brought to this country that would
keep them in employment ii manu-
featured here. The slide down to free
trade has been slow but gradual and
sure, and it will not be long before ouI
lsboring population will b. as bad of
rs they are in Europe Perhaps when
the people suffer little while longer
they will get their eyes opened and will
be willing to return once more to the
good days of the past when there was
plenty of tariff protection, plenty OF
work and good wages.
