Mr. Edmunds thoroughly enjoys it,
and meets everything with his formal
protest. The democrat who will
come out of it with the most honor, /
fancy. will be Mr.. Reagan, who is
rapidly gaining ground in the senate.
Without reference to the merits of
the case, one cnnnot out admire the
slashing retort Of Senator Edmunds,
made by Senator Coke on Friday. 1t
was in response to Mr.. Edmund's
picture of the prosperous American
workingmen. Mr.. Coke described a
male spinner of Fall River, Ma
living on $50 per year, with two -
of pork and no other meat in month,
picking up drift wood for winter
fires and hunting along the shore on
Sunday for shell fish to eat. The
senator from Texas concluded by re-
marking that he did not know what
was the matter, what was wrong, but
he would not be surprised if it were
the tariff. The bill went over until
after the holidays.
Mr.. Coke asked the vexed question
in his tariff speech, touched the chord
Victor Hugo made Jea1 Vatican

thing wrong in a country when able
and willing men are without work"
And yet the wisest legislation cannot
make all men wealthy.
The most perennially ambitious
man in Washington to-day is Com
missioner of pensions, Black. Across
the desert waste of the next four
years, he sees the fair promise of '92
glowing in the morning light of his
Imagination. He fondly hoped that
it would be Cleveland and Black at
St. Louis, and now he dreams of a
ticket to be Hill and Black. He alone
of all the leading democratic depart
mental officials has not for time laid
aside political schemes. His dream
is unbroken. He is busy patching
up old breaches between himself and
many of the democratic leaders who
had opposed his ambition for the vice
presidency, and had disagreed with
him in his management of his bureau.
His hopes may be in vain, but in
times like these his courage is almost
/ sublime.

The passenger trains running be-
tween St. Albans and Ogdensburg on
the Ogdensburg division of the Cen
tral Vermont are also heated by the
same system. The other cars run on
passenger trains on the Central Ver-
mont are warmed by the improved
Baker heater, which is system of
heating by hot water pipes. The
Connecticut River road adopted the
Emerson system for heating its trains.
The system of steam heating in use
on the ST. Johnsbury and Lake

Master Mechanic Babb of the Port
land and Ogdensburg Railroad.

The subject of heating railway
passenger cars by steam from the
locomotive has been under consider
alton among the managers of the lead
ing roads in Vermont for several
years. The first practical tests of
various systems of steam heating for
cars in this State were made on the
Central Vermont and Connecticut
River Railroad lines in the winter of
1867. The St. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain railroad heated its
passenger trains for the first time by
steam last winter. The Central Yer
mont Railroad Company early adopt
ed tie Sewall Salty Car Heating
Company's system, and already six
trains running on this road are warm
ed by steap. The Ches ire and the
Bennington and Rutland Railroads
are also using the Sewall system.

The gentlemen who visit lndianap-
oils come away with as little knowl-
edge of the purposes of the Pres
ident-elect as they had before they
started. Perhaps the President will
distribute his Cabinet appointments as
Christmas or New lear gifts, but more
likely he will not make his mind
up irrevocably until he reaches Wash
ington. Enough is already known to
satisfy the country that Gen. Harri-
son will do his own Cabinet-making,
in his own way, and in his own time.
This is what the country likes, and it
will expect good piece of work as
the result. The President-elec is en-
titled to all the time there is for the
task.

Some Great Fires.

1t was a beautiful Christmas Day
here but throughout the country there
were as many disasters as often fall
on a Fourth of July. Another
steamboat was burned on the Mlssls-
sippi River, and thirty lives, at least,
were lost in Cincinnati there was a
great fire that burned over three
acres of ground and caused loss of
about $500, 900; near Seattle, Wash
ington Territory, coasting steamer
was burned, seven persons losing
their lives; in Marblehead, Mass,
fire consumed large part of the
town: in Canton and Marlboro,
Mass, in Richmond and Petersburg,
Va, and in Petrolia, Ont. there were
several fires that did much damage
to property, although no lives are re-
ported lost. Finally, there was fire
on the Bowery here, which came near
burning up several persons.
This is a remarkable chapter OF
casualties for one ~day. Little is
known, as yet, of the origin of the
various fires, so that we cannot tell
whetehr many of them were caused
by carelessness or negligence. In
one case, however, that of the Miss
issippi steamer, it is supposed that

The Cabinet makers have arrived
at one positive conclusion, and that
is that John Wannamaker, the fa-

saying, There, I guess I've taught one
old cow to know where she belongs"

looking Eup apprehensively from bis

the barn, and I have turned her out and
chased her clear down the street, and ]
think she will stay away now" Well,''

The Church Line.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 30.-A SEN
sation was caused here by the publication
of card from we'll known politician,
who charges that the path to the Govern
orship of the State lies only through the
Protestant Episcopal church also that
the same church dominates the State
university, while Methodists, Baptists,
Presbyterians and Lutherans, the least of
whom outnnmbers the Episcopals FIVE to
one, have been compelled to build and
support their own colleges. The time
has come, he says, when men Of other
religious principles should be made gov.
ernors, and that their eligibility should
not be confined to the Episcopal church.
He, therefore, nominates Giles j. Patter-
son, of Chester, who has been superin.
tendent of Methodist Sunday school
for years, for the Office of Governor at the
ensuing election. The card has caused
some comment and some researches into
recent history. 1t is found that most of
the ante.bellum governors of this State
were Episcopalians by profession, if not
by practice. Since 1876, when the
democrats gained possession of the
government, there has been four
governors elected, Hampton, Hagood,
Thompson and Richardson, all Episcopa.
lians. Some curious results arc expected
during the approaching campaign on this
line. The denominational colleges have
ever since 1876 been wagiDg war in the
Legislature on the State university, and
finally succeeded in partially abolishing
free tuition. The Methodists, Baptists
and Lutherans have each two colleges in
the State, the Presbyterians one. The
Episcopalians contribute to Suwanee
university in Tennessee.

How the Consumer Pays.

Here is the way the tariff works in
more instances than one: A New York
workingman wanted to buy sewing
machine for his wife, and after trying
many settled on one that cost $40. This
is what followed:
"a friend engaged in the export busi-
ness, knowing of my want, came to my
aid, and with the following result: He or.
dered one of the machines wanted sent 10
one of his ships for export to Mexico.
Afterithad been puton board, Isent an
expressman for it, took it home, unpacked
it from the very nice box which contain.
ed it, and which must have cost conside.
rable, set it up myself. and it was soon
at work. When the bill came there was
adiscount of 30 per cent, and I paid for
the same article, with the addition of the
box, which we utilized in way that
housekeepers use, $685."
The query naturally arises, who gets
this difference? The actual expense of
the machine is $12. If we assume that
the difference between S12 and s35 is
enough for profit and reward to the paten,
tee, why should a tariff compel the citizen
to pay $40 for an American article that a
foreigner can buy for s95? and all the
while Protectionists pretend that it is the
difference in wages that makes tariff
necessary.-Indianapolis Ne,rs.

The LightnIng.Rod Myth.

"Lightning-rods are going out of use.
Why? Because they are not believed to
be the protection that it was once thought
they were." This was what an electri.
clan told reporter. Fifteen years ago
the lightning.rod agent was everywhere
in the land, and more especially at every
farmers door. To-day, it is claimed,
their number has materially decreased,
and farmers are disseminating the use of
the rods.
"What is your opinion upon the sub.
ject of lightning. g.rods ?" was asked of
Chief Walker, of the City Electrical
Department
"Caudidly, in nine cases out of ten,"
he replied, II think they are humbugs.
I believe it is fact that more barns are
struck and burned that have lightning
rods on than with them off. In the first
place, it is best to keep electricity as far
away from building as possible. The
object of the lightniug-rod is to attract it.
The rod is supposed to act as a conduc.
tor of the electrical current to the earth,
but instead of being carried off, the cur.
rent, in consequence of faulty construc'
tion of the rod or attachments, is fre.
quently switched into the building. The
end of the wire is supposed to be buried
in moist earth, the moisture acting as a
good condreessssff.- Without strict attention
the iron becomes oxidized and rusts of,
and then the rod is worse than nothing,
1t is positive danger under such cir
cumstances, attracting the electricity of
the atmosphere and having no adequate
outlet for it. Then, again, the same
danger arises when the insulators upon
the sides of the building become defec-
tive. The lightning is attracted from
the atmosphere, where it might have
remained but for the rod, and it is turned
loose against the building on its way to
the earth. If, for in stance, the attach.
ments on barn are poor or worn out the
current may be detected aud set fire to-
the building This is no uncommon
occurrence. In this city some years ago
the rod on the Belmont Water Works was
struck, and it fused. The current flowed
on down and played about the machinery
in the liveliest kind ofEaz way. A big
stone was knocked off the Washington
Monument by lightning When the
ground. contact is good and the lightning
is about to strike a building a rod may
be of use. I think the rods do more harm
than good. There was :. time when
farmers were scared into rodding their
barns and houses, but T think they are
getting over that."- ."-Philadelphia Record.

such dilemma has acted on the most
generous and chivalric sentiments, even
exaggerating the virtues of his competi-

any risk of doing him injustice. The
true way to win in love is to make your

than by sounding your own praises too
loudly.

Old. Clothes.

II is mystery to many people how
scourers of old clothes can make them
almost as good as new. Take for instance
q shiny old coat, vest or pair Of pants Of
.broadcloth, cashmere, ,.or diagonal. The
scourer makes strong, warm soapsuds
and plunges the garment unto it, souses
it up and down, rubs the dirty places. if
necessary puts it through a second suda,
then :rinses it through several waters and
hangs tito dry on the line. When near
5ly dry he takes itin, rolls it up for an
hour or two, and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of
the coat. and the iron passed oxer- that
until all the wrinkles are out; but the
iron is removed before :steams ceases to
.rise from the goods, else they will be
shiny. Wrinkles Ihat aFs obstinate
are removed by laying wet cloth over
them. and passing the iron over that. If
any shiny places are seen they are treat.
ed iasl Ithe wrinkles, iare;5 the iron is
lifted while the full cloud Of steam rises
and brings the nap up with it,. y Cloth

cloths will bear many washings and look
better every time because of them.

Monkeys in a Gold Mine.

Col. Ed Moetz, of Chesterfield Court
House, S. O., is tall, Timber jointed
Yankee, who went South after the war
and has been living there since. He
comes North occasionally, and is in New
York now. He is a truthful man, and
there is no reason to discredit the story
he tells. He owns a little gold mine near
his home, and has been working it for
some years with the aid ofnegro help. A
couple of years ago he had pet monkey
who used to hang about the entrance to
the mine and carry off occasional chunks
of slate and rock. The Colonel thought
he might utilize this kind of labor, and
so he got dozen more monkeys and set
them to work. Now he has fully thirty
of them chatteripg and laboring about
the opening of the mine, and he asserts
that they do the work of at least a dozen
stalwart negroes.-N. Y. Graphic.
