1t has been deemed impossible that
carrier pigeons could rival the telephone,
but wholesale baker Of Brussels, having
fifteen branch establishments, sends to
each, with the first morning delivery, a
pigeon, which during the day returns
with any unusual order. At the bakery
its alighting closes circuit through a
vibrating bell, and announces its arrival.
The entire expense of purchase and in
stallation not having exceeded the cost
of two months rental of the telephone,
the happy baker felicitates himself on his
happy evasion of the hello business.

Colorado has 800 miles OF first-class
irrigating canals, $500 miles Of second
airy canals, and 40, 900 miles of smaller
bitches, which have cost in the aggre-
gate about S11,OO 900, and will irrigate
2,20O, 900 acres. The operation of this
great water system has developed con-
ficting claims of various ditch COM
panies in regard to the use of water,
which it is very difficult to settle.

Reports of two cases of recent out
RACES on Americans in China have been
forwarded to the Secretary of State.
The Presbyterian mission house at Kwa'
Ping was looted and destroyed, and the
Rev. A. A. Fulton and wife and Miss
Mary A. Fulton were forced to flee for
their lives. A lady missionary at the
Methodist hospital at Chung King was
stoned by a mob and quite seriously in.
jured. In neither of these two cases
could the authorities be induced to pun
ish the offenders or give protection to
the missionaries or their property.

DEATH OF S. J. TILDEN.

Samuel J. Tilden the patron
Saint of Dcmocracr, died at his
home in New York last week, and
was laid away with the great ma
iority" on Saturday.
Our earliest political recollection
brings to the front 1ildcn, when
he mugwumpcd, turned his back
to his party, and his face to princi-
pie, aiding largely in defeating
Lewis Cass, the regular Democrat
ic nominee for President. Later
he. himself, became a candidate
for that high office, and he took
his defeat more philosophically
than did his party
He was the brainiest man of his
party, and we can think of but
one other great man left in the
party, Allen G. Thurman, and
he, in the natural order OF things,
must soon follow.
Tilden amassed a great fortune
had millions Of dollars and ad-
mirers. But he was forced to
leave all, suggesting with force the
appropriateness of the lines:
40, why should the spirit Of mortal he
proud ?"
Men may not be equal at the
cradle, but they are at the grave.
The rich may be laid in a finer cas-
ket, and be dressed in finer suit
to rot with him, but he must be
lowered into the same earth, Gov
cred with the same dirt, as the We
riest tramp and outcast--must re-
spond to the same tlump, answer
to the same God.
A man may stand erect to day
an autocrat in power and influence,
and tomorrow be laid in ice that
the corruption OF his corruptlble
body may not spread disease, and
contaminate the atmosphere.
"imperious Cwecr, dead ndturned 10 clay,
Might stop hole to keep the wind away. e"
Tilden was y years OF age, and
died, as he Lived, q bachelor, HIS
fortune was estimated at $50, 600,
600. His place Will not soon be
filled, either i'll his party, or liter
airy circles.

We scarcely know which is the
worse, the rascals, or the Ross-cals.
Ross seems to desire to purge the
service of all Republicans, and has
done his best, or worst to that end.
But now comes the Territorial
Grand Jury, with the notorious
anti-Rcpublican. W, r Webb, as
foreman and, gives Ross IL black
eye, as follows
We find that the governor, at
torney general and Territorial
treasurer, in accepting the peniten-
tary on the recommendation of
experts have, either through igno-
rance or wiIliul misrepresentation
in either case most reprehensi-
ble-been guilty OF gross viola
ton Of public trust. We further
believe that officials who can be so
easily duped or willfully neglect
their duty, are not fit to hold a
pubic office.

or ulster, the present law cxacts 81
80, which may go to the government,
but which generally goes to the man
ufacturer, who is so fond of Ameri-
can labor that he starves the poor
people who make the garments for
him. Tbs story of the suflerings Of
these poor cloak-makers was told in
the New York newspapers almost
every day during the last winter. If
the Morrison bill shall become law,
SIS cloaks ought to sell for about
$3.50. Weddings, gorings, fringes,
buttons and the innumerable small
articles that go to the adornment and
finishing of dresses are now taxed
about 81 per cent. The Morrison
bill provides for tax of 80 per cent
In addition there arc reductions Oh
carpets, the cheapest of which now
pay tax of Sc per cent.
These changes in the law ought to
be very grateful to all wearers of
wooden clothes, fannels, blankets and
WOODEN hats. There will be more cot
tagc floors carpeted when carpets that
now cost 800 are sold for $40. The
Morrison bill is in the interest Of the
consumer.

One of the finest belts of hard.
wood timber in the world is said to
be located east of Black lake, in
Presque Isle county, Michigan. II
consists of several townships of the
choicest maple, and it is held at an
average price of only from $6 to SO
per ACCOMPLISHMENTS Gazette.
When the railroad is extended
from this city through Presque Isle,
which will occur before many years
pass, it will open up that fine farm
ing country and make it tributary to
this port. The surplus grain will
come to Alpena city for shipment.
In fact all that is needed is few
railroads to open up an immense Sec
ton Of first class farming land
on the northward, west and southland
of this city, and make this the ship
ping point. Alpena city has the
position and is destined to become one
Of the most important cities in the
State. We believe ten years after
those railroads are built, that this
city will have population of over
10000; that it will contain many
manufactures; that large whole
sale business will be done, and that it
will be an important shipping point.
The surplus wheat, etc, of region
some sixty or seventy miles in extent
will come to Alpena for shipment.
The railroads needed are as follows:
From this city to Cheboygan, through
Presque Isle county, and connecting
with the Lake Superior railroad, the
Northern Pacific railroad and Cana
dian Pacific railroad from this city
and through Montmorency and Otse-
60 counties and opening up an i'm
mense section Of farming country
from this city to Hubbard Lake and
then through Altoona, Oscoda, Oge-
NAV, Roscommon and other counties
and connecting with the Detroit and
Chicago railroads. There is bril-
liant future awaiting for Alpena.

The Tariff on Woolens.

From the New York STAR
Every one is interested in the price
Of WOODEN goods. People of small
or moderate means are especially con-
cerned. In the larger part of the
United States most of the clothing of
the year is made from WOODEN goods.
Men and women who perform hard
manual work especially find it necess-
airy to wear woolens almost constant
ly. They are necessary to health and
comfort. Moreover, the best wear of
the wives and daughters of people of
small means is of stuGs made wholly
or chiefly of wool. Any legislation,
therefore, that will cheaper the cost
of this necessity ought to be hailed
with delight by the great majority of
the people. The bill which the Ways
and Means committee has reported to
the House of Representatives will ac-
complish this great good. In the first
place, woods will be free. This will
not injure any one, because all efforts
to encourage wool growing by taxa
ton have miserably failed. The man.
ufacturers will be relieved from a
burden, and the product they weave
into cloth will be cheapened. Last
year they paid more than 100000
to the government, and this expense
will be saved TO them. This must
cheaper the cost of the cloth which
they manufacture, because COMPETE
ton will be great enough to give the
consumer the benefit of the free raw
material.
The tax on essential articles Of
clothing also will be materially re-
duced. Hereafter, if the Morrison
bill shall become law, a wooden
shawl will pay tax of 30 per cent
large enough, in all conscience.
Under the existing law the poor
woman's shawl is taxed 80 per cent.
and the better shawls 66 per cent.
Flannels, blankets, wool hats and
knit goods will be taxed 80 per cent.
Under the present law the cheapest
quality Of these goods pays ~ per
cent, and from that down to the tax
which is levied on the finest fannels,
blankets and knit goods Of 81 per
cent. All dress goods of wooden
would pay under the proposed law 80
per cent. At present If the wife Of
a mechanic desires Sunday dress
made Of all wool goods, IA cents Of
every dollar paid by her to the dry
goods merchant is tax or bounty.
If Mr.. Morrison's bill shall become n
law, the price of the coat will be re-
duced TO about SO. When working
woman treats herself to a s15 cloak
