LAST year this country paid 100000
tax on S44,OOO,OOO imported wooden
goods. This is protection. How do you
like it! If you had to pay directly out Of
your pocket the tax you do pay through
the tariff on every pair of WOODEN stock
ings, every flannel shirt, every whit er coat
you buy, you would feel like moving out
of the country altogether.

To THOSE who are tired of being dunned
to death with the tariff issue, the fisheries
question, that has been 80 unexpectedly
and summary sprung upon the country,
will be blessed relief. There are, how
ever, some three score and more gentle
men in Washington who can find no relief
whatever, either in the tariff or the fish
cries question. A public Office is some
times a very onerous public trust-and IN
easy lie many heads round which the
senatorial halo shines.

THE date for the republican convention

Colonel DEGREES, chairman of the state

reference to the call to be found elsewhere

vention to the existing mixed political
status of the state. 1t is certain if there
is no coalition formed things will be
somewhat interesting this fall.

Trade of South Apserica.

Among the recent consular reports issued by the State Department is an able paper on the above subject, by John E. Bacon, U. s. Consul at Monte Video, from which we make the fol- lowing abstracts:
 The unusual and energetic efforts on the part of Spain to recover the trade of her palmy days with South Ameri- ca, as also with the West Indies. Mex leo, etc., are attracting great attention here, and are much commented upon in mercantile and diplomatic circles. Not less 80 are the efforts, still mere ensrgstic and successful, on the part of Germany to secure her share of the $700,000,000 of annual commerce tex ports and imports) of the twenty American Indias." In connection with these efforts comes the query, Why is the United States, especially so far as South America proper is con cernsd, so lacking in energy?
 The countries south of the United States, consisting of the empire of Brazil, four European colonies, and fifteen republics, consist of over 40,- 100000 people and have an aggregate area of ever 8,5OO,OOO square miles-a population almost equal and an area double that of the United States.
 It IS evident this South American trade is worth having, and deserves 3 serious struggle, and, as above intim- ated, the best evidence of its value is shown by the continued and energetic efforts on the part of the great mari time powers to control it. It IS also evident that the UnIted Statss, f she will make a serious effort, exhibit half the energy, and invest one-fourth the money that these countries do, can se cure the better part thereof. She con- trolIed it, and Tn her own bottoms, be- fore the war, and can, therefore, con- trol it again.
 In 1856 United States vessels con- vsyed (exports and imports) from and to her ports, in value, $483, ,366, ,274, and foreign vessels only 59,336,176. In 1886, thirty years later, the tables were completely turned, and foreign vessels conveyed value of $1,139, ,636,- 971, and United States bottoms, 227,- 947,500.

Speculation as to the Prohibition Vote.

In several Northern States the Pro- hibition vote last year for State officers was smaller than that cast at the pre- ceding elections Tn the same States for the same posts. In each of the two Northern States which held elections this year like falling off Tn the vote of that party was shown. In Rhede Island in April last the Prohibition candidate for governor obtained only l ,336 votes, although he received 2,585 in 1887. An even greater decline is shown in Oregon, where the vote of that organization in the contest a week ago Is put at about 1000, the official figures not being at hand yet. At the election two years ago kh57Ssre- gon Prohibitlenists boiled 2,775 votes. In each State the Prohibition leaders predicted that thls years vote would be twice as high as it was in the pre- cedlng election. This is enc of the reasons why the boasts of the Prohi- bitionists are not frightening any Re publicans just now.-Globe-Dsmocrat.

The Copper Situation.
fEnrineering and Mining Journal.l

Engineering and Mining Journal
 The vast increase in the demand for copper for electrical purposes is likely to more than compensate any reduc- tiOn in ether uses, in this country at least, nor is the present price of cop per SC high as to greatly lessen con sumption in any direction, though we believe it to be too high for the inter- ests of the Societs itself. Sixteen cents was not formerly regarded as a high price. Consumption increased on both sides the Atlantic under such prices when copper was even less es sential than it now is, certain branches of trades and cannot therefore suppose that the Same prlee should now paralyze consumption as completely. as the copper bears pre- tendss There is, however, a point where prices will react very ssnsibly on consumption. Whether that point be sixteen cents, or mora or less,, the near future will show, for the methods of the European manufacturers can not much longer disguise the real de- mands of the consumer.
 That our copper miners are profit ing immensely by the high prices now ruling and the certainty of getting remunerative figures for the next two years is unquestionable, nor do our manufacturers object to high prices if they can be assured of their perma- nency. It is equally true that to the consumers of copper ln several de- partmentS of industry ths advance in prlce is of little moment; in other de- partments, however, the increase in price will certainly restrict consump- ton.
 That the copper miners are entitled to profit upon their investment does not appear to occur to some of the critics of the Soclete. The basls of 12 cents pound for Lake copper is prob ably as low a price as will allow fair profit to such a number of mines as can supply the worlds requirements, and we are convinced that the inter- ests of the copper syndicate, or rather of the Societ des Meteaux, will be best served by keeping the copper market as low as the contracts entered into will permit. Inste4 Id of ad7an- eng from 16a cents, it would be bet ter to reduce the price gradually until it no longer offers great premium fer the opening of new mines.
 We cannot share the views of those who look for an early collapse of the syndicate. The sales which all eur mines have made are guaranteed by thoroughly responsible banking hous es, and even should the Societe be overwhelmed, which is quite imprOb- able, these banks would take the cop per to the end of the three years, ae- cording to their guarantee. The cop per market rests therefore on foun- dation very different from and infinite ly more secure than the tin market, whose late decline has encouraged the bears.

Floods in Mexico.

The destruction oflife and property wrought by the floods along the llne of the Mexican Central railroad is ap- palling. For ten days rain fell in torrents on the table-lands between the city of Mexice and Zacatecas, and for a distance of 200 miles along the railroad every r1vulet was converted into a torrent. Valleys were flooded and many cities and towns were in- undated. At Silao the river overfowed it's banks and the volume of water swept through the streets with irri- sistible force, destroying about 325 adobe houses. At Leon 25 miles from Silao similar disaster occurred with
 more terrible results. The river rose rapidly and inunda led the city during the night. Houses tumbled in rapid successor, and the terror stricken in- mates bewildered and having no chance to escape, were buried beneath the falling walls. Many of those who escaped into the streets were drowned in the angry waters. This state of af- fairs continued for three days with an incessant down-pour of rain. Then the waters began to receds and the extent of the loss to life and property could be approxmated. It is estima- ted that 700 persons perished, 2224 houses were destroyed, and that the losses will reach $2,OOO,0O0. Every effort is beng made to relevo the suf- ferings of the homeless and destitute.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania has just decided that marrlage $ civil contract, and in no sense reli- gious affair. That IS English common law, and American statute law. The court decides that Sunday marriages are null and vo1d in that state, because the Sunday law prohibits all contracts being made on that day. The court is right again. But the decision shows the necessity of either amending the Sunday laws or repeating them as ut terly un-American in thelr interfer- eEce with personal rights and freedom of eonsclencs.

These Japanese statesmen wear much the same air and leok as states men in other countries, politics and diplomacy always setting seal of its own on men. Count Okuma has the ar of statesman and man of destiny, and his smooth, serlous face, the sharp line of hls jaw bone and the square cut of his rather long halr, suggest so strongly the countsnance of Roger A. Pryor, that the men might be broth CTS. Count Kuroda, represented as the rough soldier and man of iron, has the most sleek, polished, velvety and suave manner of them all, and If he is the enemy of foreign dress, wears the best-ftting, foreign clothes with the greatest ease.--Ruhamah, Tn the Globe Democrat

Let the Canvass be Clean.

A prominent Democratic contem- psrary says: "The election this year will turn upon principle, net upon persons or personalities. Ideas, and not idiosyncrasies, will interest and divide the voters" That IS a predic- tien which respectable men of both the great parties will hope may be strictly fulfilled. Nothing could be much more regretted than a campaign similar to that of 1884, which turned almost wholly upen persons, and the chief weapons or arguments of which were personalities. It is not true that everything is fair in war and politics it is not fair to assall men of worth, who, as candidates are defenseless, and can not make reply to the islanders hurled at them 1t is not fair te the respect and dignity due to the Ameri- can character that the people of other countries shall, as they read the reck- less assaults of the partisan press up- on one Presidential candidate or an other, be impressed by the belief that this great country of freeman deliD- erately select as candidates for ths ot- fec of Chief Magistrate men unftted by their plentiful lack of morals to fill the lowest, instead of the highest, ef- fee. Fair play and truth are as es- timable qnalitles in politics asin other things.-PhiIadelPhia Ledger.

An extraordinary turf accident is reported by mail from New Zealand. At the Sandon hack meeting, at the town of Palmerston, one of the horses fell, and all' the six others following were likew1ss brought, one after an other down on him. The result was that riders and horses lay writhing in heap, and terrible injuries were in ficted on all the jockeys. The race, of course, was never finished, and when the riders were extrIcatsd from the struggling mass they were nearly all insensible from broken arms, legs and ribs. One jockey named Mack enzie died shortly after the affair, and it will be 8 long tune before the others are restored.

Lubbock's researches have estab- lished the curious fact that modified tions of food alone are sufficient to de-. velop queen-bes frem the larYa of any working-bse, but that ne change of diet will eyer modify the organism of a fully-develeped worker. And on- ly in childhood the brain seems capa- ble of receiving impressions which modify the moral tendencies for bet ter or worse and give arbitrary dogs mas the force almost of congsnital 1n- st1ncts. The mental and moral dispo- sition of individuals may be regarded as a result of a struggle for suprema- cy between the influence of hereditary tendencies and the influence of educa- tion, In that widest sense including the discipline of circumstances"

Saw the Girls Bathing.
From the Albany Telegraph

Bob, did you ever see a let of girls Tn swlmmlng?"
 "No, never-did you?"
 "Yes, and such a look I never ex- pect to see again. They beat mer- maids out of sight."
 q expect SC, but where did you ob- tam your knowledga?"
 "You know Miss Dusenbury, of Strawberry Hill? Yes, of course, you do. We'll the other day she had com pany, fourteen samples of dimity that would have infused enthusiasm into the head of an anGhorite. Among the number were Sally Jones and Becky JOcslyn. Well, after tea Sally-beau- tiful creature !-proposed to go bath ing. You may want to know how 1 heard that. I listened through the keyhole. The girls jumped at the idea, and as soon as the tea things were wiped, on went bonnets and rib bons and away went the whole in pur- suit of Cloverdale Lake, where the immersion was to take place. The right was taken by Sally Jones. l think have mentioned her name be- fore. Beautiful creature, lips like cherries and breast that would do hener to an October partridge"
 "Well, what has all that got to do with the story? That fourteen good looking girls went swimming I can understand--nothing is more reasona- ble. But how came you to see them? That's the question:"
 Bob, having sad this, sucked his cigar and looked as if he had got certain gentleman in a-quandary.
 Don't be impatient, my friend, and I will divulge all. The moment the girls left the house l got an old frock and cast-off bonnet. I dressed my self in these, disguised my looks with little false hair, stole a market bas- kst half-full of apples and started down the road, looking for all the world like Biddy Mcshane, the ped dler, who resides in the neighborhood of the hlll. 7"
 "Well, go on"
 'Kssp cool and I will. Having equipped myself to my liking, I left the road and struck cut for tths lake through short cut that brought me to it's margin just as the girls had taken their first plunge. Great Ve- nus, what sight! Don't ask me to apostrephize. No language can ade- quately express my feelings. In the center of the maids was Sally Jones, a glowing ruby in basin of iquOfsd meonlight."
 "Were they all in?'
 'All Tn but two, and they were about to undress, but they were fear ful some men would come along and frlghten them. assured them that there was no danger, that all the men were busy in hay and harvesting while the boys were off at school at the neighboring village"
 Did this induce them to take tie plunge?"
 "On one condition"
 "And what was that?'
 "That I would hold their things and help to pin up when they came out of the lake"
 And you consented?'
 "No, sir! My modosty weuld't per init. I took the nearest read home
 The scene closed with a prolonged whistle from Bob. Whether this indi- cated doubt CT satisfaction we have never been able to ascertain.

Leary's Big Raft.

The huge timber raft or, more prop erly, ship which is being constructed at the "Fingsrboard" N. S., by James D. Leary, IS almost completed. The va1Ous pieces have been put together in the shape of large ship having a sharp bow, full vast and fairly slen- der afterbody. About 3O,OOO sticks of timber are being used in the csnstrue- tion of the vessel, ranging in length from 25 to 175 feet. From stem te stem the craft will measure nearly 700 feet when in the water. The lost raft was only $40 feet long. The present ship will be 65 feet beam and draw 35 feet of water. She is constructed un- der the supervision of MT. Robertson, who has patented all the devices by which the timbers are put together. The enterprise has given employment to eyer 800 men since early in Feb ruary.
 To tow her to New York the power fuI ocean-going tug M. B. Morse, of Bath, Me-, which went on an unsuc- cessfuI salvage trip after the lost raft, has been engaged.

The system will be one of revolving fans, to which power is sup piled by means of wire connecting with an electric dynamo en the earth. The fans are not only to propel, but lift the air-ship. Then with proper ly equipped car an officer can ascend and take photographs and sketches of the enemy's position, which will give a great strategic advantage to the Spanrsh commander. Mr. Edison IS confident that his experiments will result successfully.-New York Tri- Rune

A new method of treating pulmon- ary consumption is described by the Medical Record from French sources. Their new system of curing consump- tion is based upon sulphuric acid in msdlcated inhalatlons. Sulphur slight ly moistened with alcohol is burned in a brazier, little benzoin or powdered opium being sometimes added to make the fumes less dlsagresable. The pa tient is required to stand twice day in this sulphurOus chamber and in hale the medicated atmosphere until his lungs arc saturated with sulphu- ric acid, The treatment is said to be markedly successful in as many as thirty eases. swsatS and fsyer disap- bearing, the lungs clearing up, and the appetite and weight steadily im- proving.
