While an American mill was closed for
repairs, the long iron tube conducting the
water from the canal TO the turbine was
painted with q mixture Of benzine and
asphaltum as protection against rust
While the work was In progress the super
intendent, passing by, heard sounds Of
hilerity within, which we're not strictly in
accordance with workmanlike conduct,
and on looking through the manhole saw
the half dozen employees In boIsterous
mirth, dancing around, painting each
others faces and clothes. On seeing the
superintendent they invited him 70 come
and be frescoed. Suspectine the cause Of
the unusual proceedings he summoned a
larger force Of men, and much difficulty
was experienced in removing the men,

The Mills bill contemplates an
average reduction in duties of only
about 6 per cent, would leave an
average protection Of and over 40
per cent on all dutiable articles
When Mr.. Dawes and the repub-
licans of the 42d Congress brought
forward a bill likewise extending
the free list and providing for a
horizontal reduction of 10 per cent,
the average rate OF duty was only
al 3s per cent. That is to say, the
republicans of that day proposed 10
reduce the tariff to 81 per cent. If
the Mills bill is a free trade meas
ure, what must be said of the Dawes
bill3 No one ever thought OF calling
that a free trade scheme. Is there
not something false and dishonest
in this cry of the republicans
-[Springfeld Republican.
The foregoing has been widely
printed by protectionist democratic
papers to prove that their party is
not in favor of free trade, but instead
of proving that it proves that to the
republican party the country must
look for the needed reduction Of the
tariff. When the republican party
makes reduction in the tariff, the
reduction will not be made horizon
tally on all articles alike, but care
will be taken to adjust the tariff to
the needs of the country. The fact
remains undisputed that the demo.
cratic party in eleven years since the
war, when it alone had the power
to originate legislation, reduced the
revenue but So, s6S ,o35, while in the
same length of time the republican
party made reduction of $352, ,5o4,-
500. We would not be at all sur.
prised if the democratic party swung
around before the campaign ended
and claimed to be the only Original
and genuine protectionists in the
United States. Such has been theil
record on other questions. Fol
instance, the party for years and
years condemned the national banl
system, but now claim to be its ONLY
friend, so much so indeed that Cleve.

IT is somewhat strange that while
the democratic party poses as the
only all-wool-and-a-yard-wide OPP
ponent Of the hydra-headed monster
monopoly, that Jay Gould has de-
clared for Cleveland, that President
Norvin Green Of the Western

the headof the coal ring, has sub
scribed a cool half million to the

AT the temperance rally in Aber-
deem last Sunday evening Hon. y.
H. Fletcher severely condemned
the movement to place a county pro-
hibition t;cketin the field. He said
the attempt was pure bunkum and
would injure the temperance cause.
For this he has been taken to task
by license men and our democratic
friends generally. Just why license
men should laud a movement
looking to the defeat Of their cause
is not strikingly apparent, and why
Frohibitionists should take advice and
counsel from their ayowed enemies
is another nebulous proposition.

THE SMALL BOY

Better Than q Dozen Men and Fire He'll
In Case of Great Emergency.
W. A. Taylor, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer staff. who is stopping at the No
Lure House, saidto REGISTER reporter
last night:
''You can depend on the small boy in a
great emergency all the time"
How so?" was asked.
'Tfit hadn't been for the small boy last
night good portion of the town of Cam
bridge would have been burned"
Tell me how he happened to save il"
"About midnight last night / was
awakened at the Hotel Berwick by the
night clerk, who stood out in front Of the
Hotel shouting, Fire! Fire! F-i-o-rep at
q rate that led me to believe that the con-
Germ was burning up.
az Jumped out of bed and raised win
dow 10 take in the situation, and about
half block distance saw huge column
of smoke coming out of big two-story
frame house occupied as q saloon, barber
shop and boarding house.
Presently the hotel porter went ont
and helped the clerk yell fire. This they
kept up for fully fifteen minutes and no
one responded. Then the clerk sent the
porter up to the public square to ring the
fire alarm. This summoned three or four
drummers who had been ont to see their
girls. but all the rest Of the town was
sound asleep.
''Then the drummers helped the clerk
yell fire. and such dreadful bowling
and racket you never heard. At last one
solitary citizen put in an appearance in
front of the hotel and Joined the chorus,
which finally aroused the lady boarders,
who put their heads ont of the window and
timidly epquired who had been killed.
FINALLY the flames burst through the
roof and eclipsed the moon with their
brightness, and yet the fire department
had not reported. At this juncture bare
foot uEehin appeared ON the scene and gave
one yell that silenced all the rest Of them.
Darling into side street he shouted:
Hey, Bill, there's 'noffal big fire, dye
hearp Rushing into another street he
sung out: Git up there, Tom, it's the
biggest fire you ever seedp With outcries
like this he ran around two or three
squares, and within three minutes there
were q hundred boys in all directions yell
ing fire, and within ten minutes they had
cot the doors of the hose house open, fixed
up tho engine and pulled the hose reels to
the scene Of the confisgration. No one
was able to sleep when the small boy got
ON tba akraaf and onened nm
"The result Yves that the fremen and
citizens were turned out Of bed and the
fire was confined TO the building in which
it originated, which, however, was con-
sumed entsilipg loss of one or two
dollars. The Clerk and his
Assistants had spent nearly an hour in
trying to accomplish what the boys did in
less than ten minutes. If q small boy had
discovered the fire in the FIRST place, it
would have been put out with lees than
Sl00 dsmsge. You can bet on the Ameri-
esn small boy all the time"

ELECrRIC LIGHTS.
The Board of Gas Trustses Recommend
the Erection of Plant.

The Board of Gas Trustses Recommend
the Erection of Plant.
The Board of Gas Trustees have at last
decided upon the sdvisability of erecting
an electric light plant, and in accordance
with this determination, sent the follow
ing communication to Council last night.
II was not reached by the Second Branch,
however, and will therefore remain on the
table until the next session:
OFFICE BOARD OF GAS TRUSTEES,
CRY HALL, April %. 'ss. !
To tie Hon. Mayor and Council:
GENTLEMEN: In conformity with the
reeolation introduced by Mr.. p. b. Dob
bins, asking the Gas Trustees to enquire
into the expediency and cost of establish
ing an electric-light plant, for arc and in
candescent lighting, to be operated in con-
junction with the citygas works, we beg
leave TO say that we have carefully looked
into the matter. and deem IL both advis-
able and expedient TO erect an electric
light plant, for the purpose of Lighting the
streets and public buildings of the city,
and probably furnishing q limited numbsr
of commercial lights to consumers.
We would recommend IN arch light sys-
tenn, the original cost being presumably
cheaper and the. profits proportioDately
greater. We find that such pant can be
erected here at cost not to exceed $23. :
600 land proportionately less for smaller
plant. A plant of this size would furnish
at least one hundred and sixty are Tampa,
Of 2. 900 candle power each; also, including
engine and boiler capacity TO run the same,
twenty miles Of circuit, covering poles and
wires, all ready for business, and with an
experienced electrician to run the Same for
thirty days, free Of expense.
We have accumulated ample data dur
ing the investigation Of this matter, which
We would be pleased TO lay before the Com
mittee on Lights, should you deem II Cd
visable TO have them confer with us In re-
gard to this important subject.
Respectfully submitted.
