DEFEAT OF THE FOREIGN
MAIL PROPOSITION.

NOI Sol lNIN.
The defeat in the House of the
bill 10 authorize the Postmaster Cen
eral to pay American steamship COM
panies which will maintain regular
lines to foreign countries fifty cents
mile for carrying the mail until
maximum expenditure of 100000
should be made, is further indica-
ton of the inability of the present
House and of the controlling element
in the Democratic party to legislate
in favor of the commercial interests
Of the country. The argument was
oil on the side of the proposition.
Great Britain was the first to subs-
die lines Of ships to carry foreign
mails, and proceeding all others great
advantage was secured to British
commerce. 1t was shown during the
debate that Great Britain pays an
nually for the carrying Of ocean mails
over the amount received for postage
about $1,000, 900, or four times as
much as was contemplated by the
proposition which was defeated. In
the course of the debate it was also
shown that France, Germany and
other governments are pursuing the
same policy for the sole purpose Of
keeping up communication with ma
tons whose trade is desirable. The
statesmen Of those nations understand
that the trade of nation will follow
its flag, and to make sure of this, they
hold out such inducements as will
lead capital and enterprise to main
tain lines Of communication with
those people whose commerce is de.
sired. And yet, with such examples
before them, large majority of the
Democrats, with dozen Republicans
struck the proposition out Of the bill.
Prejudice, demagogism and traditions
of the Democratic party united TO
defeat plain and judicious propo-
sition to extend our mail service ia
American ships and our trade with
the world. The cry OF subsidy was
raised with the usual effect, but it is
probable that the active efforts Of the
Democratic leaders OF the Randall
stripe led many Democrats to vote
against it. AS the expanding Of the
money, fit had been voted, would
have been at the discretion of Mr..
Cleveland's Postmaster General, the
proposition cannot be said TO be a
Republican scheme to promote the
party interests.
When the record of the present,
House is examined one does not
wonder that body which refuses to
pass bankruptcy bill, to stop the
coinage of silver or to give any intel
ligent consideration to a subject Of
Importance to the business interests
Of the country, also refuses TO take a
step toward establishing mail COM
munication by American ships with
those countries whose trade would be
of much value to the country. Messrs.
Hewitt and a few Democrats repre-
senting the large cities favored the
measure, but the prejudice, the sec
tionalism and the narrowness of the
Democratic party was arrayed solidly
against it. Arkansas and Kentucky
in a Democratic House are greater
than New York

labors under mistake. 1t was not
on account OF the opposition of the
Knights of Labor, and in fact there
was very little opposition on their
part, but the opposition of certain
Senators because DeLand opposed
the election Of T. w. Ferry to a third

of the same amount, the latter payable in

control the affairs of the club and elect its
members, will have power by a two-thirds
vote to assess members individually in a sum
not exceeding Sl2 in any one calendar year.
The number of resident members of the
club is not to exceed 800, but the board of

to increase the number to 500.
Two noteworthy points of difference be-
tween the new club and the well-established
Sorosis are that the latter is largely a literary
organization, while the former is. if we I'M

one, and that Sorosis, though it has a name,

A Mexican Factory.

San Pedro is connected with Queretaro by
horse railway, which follows the course OF
the Oueretaro river. About midway between
these two places is Mr.. Rubio'sfa cotton

branch of the original establishment known
az La Purissima. The Hercules, in its ex-
ternal appearance, more nearly resembles
medieval fortress than modern factory. 1t

by company Of about 80 soldiers. These
are maintained by the establishment ostensi-
bly, to defend it against enemies from with
out, but it NAV be suggested that perhaps
they are expected also to keep an eye on the
1900 operatives employed in the two facto-
ries. This suggestion has certain Just1ca-
ZION in the fact that wherever large numbers
Of the lower class are employed the employ
ers appear to consider it necessary to have at
hand some means of forcible coercion.
The only wares produced at these mills are
six grades of plain cotton cloth. This cloth
is the staple article of dress for both the men
and women of the lower class, and since the
bulk of the Mexican people belong to this
class there is readily found domestic mar
ket for all that is produced. The annual
consumption of raw cotton in the two mills is
5000 bales, one half of which is produced in
this country, while the other half is imported
from the Southern States by way of Ell Paso
and the Mexican Central railway. The i'm
ported cotton pays duty of four cents a
pound The pay of the employees ranges

The popular faith in the strength and
durability of steel rails is liable to be
shaken by the statements made in the
Railroad Gazette by Mr. Hawks. the chief
engineer of the Michigan Central Rail-
road. He finds that the steel rails pur-
chased for his road do not nearly survive
the period of guarantee, but speedily
begin to FLOW" at the ends and spread at
the sides and change the shape of the en-
tire head of the rails. Rails laid as late
as 1884 have had to be removed already
on account of crushed ends" Mr.
HAWKS contents himself with giving facts,
leaving others to find the reason for them.
The Scientific American for July 25 in an
article on Railroad Economy" written
without reference to or knowledge of Mr.
Hawks statement, gives what is perhaps
the explanation of the softness of the rails
furnished to his company. 1t says that
the demand of the railroads for cheap
rails has lea manufacturers to work in
Stag and cinder with the steel. and in that
way turn out fair appearing shoddy
rail, in the manufacture of which there is
a small profit and the demands OF the
railroad companies for low-priced rails
are satisfied. Such steel rails are very
much inferior to the old iron rails. Some

The sanitarians now advise that all

other ways. This is especially to be
commended in all cases where the drink
ing water is at all suspicious in its quality.

which the boiling imparts. 1t is claimed
that the use of boiled water for drinking
