American Woods and Wood Manufao.
tureB.

An interesting and valuable report on
American woods and their uses In building
and manufacturing has just been published
by the commissioner OF agriculture. 1t is
entitled "a descriptive catalogue Of manu-
factures from native woods, as shown in the
exhibit of the United States department OF
agriculture at the Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Exposition at New Orleans, La"
| The author is Mr.. Charles Richards Dodge,
who was appointed by Mr.. VIM. Saunders,
representative of the department OF agrl-
culture at the exposition, TO collect mate
rials for this part of the department ex-
hibit, and was Agnally successful in
securing valuable contributions from
the wood manu- acturers Of the coun-
| try. In connection with the materials

large amount OF statistical and other in.
formation, together with the views Of prom.
inent men interested In forestry, or engaged
In the working industries, as to the
present and future supplies Of timber OF
the kinds used In the different branches OF
production, and as to the policy by which

the country may be best secured, The In

what are the Democrats of Congress thinking
ofg' Well, about one.thiri of them are think
ing Of that last drink, and the other two thirds

When such sharp-edged slurs as that are

cere rejoicing to us toreaect that Republican

the era OF reform shall have entered on its

The closing exercises Of Miss Mollie Thomp-
sons select school were held last night at her
academy on Twelfth street, The order OF exer-
cises was Of a very interesting character. and
much attention was shown by the parents and
other friends of the pupils, who filled the large
and commodious parlors. The remarkable ad-
vancement exhibited by the scholars under
Miss Thompson's care was the subject of gen
eral comment, and entities her, beyond ques-
ton, TO place in the front rank Of accomplish
ed and successful teachers. Prizes were award
ed TO the successful pupils, asfollows:
First honors-Gold medal-Master George
Moore Hale, Miss Katie Craig. Silver medals
For scholarship, Miss Luree Dyer, Master David
Craig, Master Harry Berlin: for improvement
and department. Miss Agnes Hale, Miss Belle

ment and department, Miss Rosalie Small. Misa

In awarding the prizes (which ceremony was
performed by Mr.. V. N. Stiles, aftera very neat

Hon. RALPH PLUMB, OF Illinois, when
speaking OF the remedy for the labor
troubles last week, thus succInctly summar-

ment Of industries: "To 1t are to be con-
flded the interests of agriculture, commerce,
manufactures, and labor, with commits
sloner for each, and through which correct
statistics can be promptly furnished for
guidance in required legislation" We are
in favor of the bill for Its organization, and
trust it may become law and prove an eff
fective aid in securing to productive indus
try Its appropriate influence and standing
in the country. We nominate for the pros
pective Cabinet position the department
will involve Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, of Penn
sylvania.

THE Richmond Wing, which Is now a
thorough. paced, reliable Democratic news
paper, says:
We unhesitatingly admit that the Democratic
party is committed to n revision of the tariff,
but certainly not to a revision after Mr.. Morrl-
sons idea.
The Atlanta Constitution, in the course of
q long editorial that bears heavily on the
chairman Of the ways and means committee,
says:
Mr.. Morrison's first bill was horizontal. That
which he now presents to Congress is probably
perpendicular. At any rate 1t is not in the In
terest Of real tariff reform. The Democratic
platform insists that tariff reform shall be in the
direction of a reduction of taxation, whereas
Mr.. Morrisons bill or so much of II as has been
made public-is In the direction of reduction
of the revenue, and this reduction of the rev.
enue is n very important matter just at this
time.
Yes, o reduction Of revenue In the face Of
an almost certain deficit is rather an impor-
tant matter, but 1t shows up as mere trlne
to the eye OF tariff tinker

COTTON GIN COMPANY.
A New Process which It Is Claime

A New Process which ne Is Claimed
Adds Greater Value 20 Cotton.
The Long Fiber Cotton Gin Company Is
the name under which number Of Wash
ington gentlemen have organized to begin
IN enterprise at Woodlawn, near Blrming-
ham, Ala. The officers OF the company are
President, j. F. Dezendorf vice president,
G.. w. Cissel secretary, Hector McNell'
treasurer, Fred p. Wright; general super
intendent, Fred w. Evans. There are nine
directors, consisting Of all the officers and
the following, j. o. Ergood, Samuel Y. PAT
mer, DIR. A. 4. Adams, and Maii o. e. Hines,
Of Vienna, Va. The capital stock OF the
company Is $l,000,000. The charter was
obtained in West Virginia but the principal
office Of the company will be In this city.
The process which will be used by this COM
pany, Is an innovation from the ordinary
methods Of the cotton gin. The cotton be.
fore II goes to the gin will be exposed to
ammoniated steam which, II is claimed, has
the effect Of loosening the fiber from the

admixture Of old cotton, increasing
the length Of the fiber to osuch an extent as
TO add one and half cents per
pound 10 its value. Tho process Is an In
ventibn OF Col. Frank Montgomery, who is
well known in this city. There was a
meeting Of the directors held recently at
room 80, Corcoran building, when II was
decided TO locate the gin at Woodlawn,
Ala, that town having offered great In
ducements to attract the company there.

THE Head says that the low price Of wheat

We have no doubt at all that Messrs
Carlisle, Morrison, Mills, Hurd & Co.
would say, and undertake to prove by con-
flrmation strong as proofs from holy writ,
that "war tariff taxation" is the cause Of
the low price Of wheat. The farmers will

Some very interesting facts are given as
to the processes employed in various manu-
features Of wood. So simple a thing as q
map roll goes through ten different oper-
ations, requiring as many different hands
and machines, before II is completed. Bass
wood is chiefly used in this branch Of manu-
facture. A shoe peg goes through eighteen
different hOnds, or processes, in It's prog
ress to completion. All the shoe pegs used
in the country, with large quantities for
expectation, are produced by ten factories,
which have an aggregate capital OF sl25,OOO
to $3.50, 900, and employ about two hundred
| hands.
Among the numerous processes described
few are as interesting as those connected
with the manufacture Of wagons and car
riages. The various parts of vehicle are
separately produced, some of them in dis
tinct establishments, each devoted to the
| production of single class Of articles, such
| as hubs, spokes, or rims for wheels. Even
| the manufacture OF a wheel is thus a com
| plicated process TO which, in many cases,
several distinct establishments contribute
their respective parts. Allusion having
been made to "rims," 1t may be stated for
the benefit Of those who have not kept up
with modern changes in this branch Of
mechanical industry that the rim OF a
wheel is no longer made up Of
separate felloes, each forming small
fraction OF circle, but OF two pieces Of
good, tough hickory or oak, cut to the
proper form and length, and after due
seasoning and preparation steamed aud
placed In the bending machine to be bent
Into half circles. The manufactures and
processes described are, however, too
numerous TO admit Of detailed mention.
