Diamond.
The three days fair and bazaar of the
ladies of the Concordia society, in aid of
the new opera house building of the So
ciety, now nearing completion, closed last
Saturday evening with grand success. The
various apartments on the lower floor of
the opera house were fitted up for the
occasion, and with the tasty arrangement
and beautiful display of the numerous
articles for sale and on exhibition, made
by the ladies, charming scene was pre-
sented in the corridor containing the
booths, where the "fair women" held
forth to the admiring throng with that
politeness and grace which captivated not
only the gentler but the stronger sex, and
was the means of putting money into the
purse of the society. The Concerdia la
dies are certainly deserving of much praise
for the work they performed in behalf of
the society, and it is gratifying to the
public to know that their efforts in
financial direction were SO successful.
The voting to the best whist player of
the $3.50 diamond was conducted with
considerable interest and no little excite

Frank Neither, a well-to-do farmer in
the town of Emmett, living about four
miles from the city, committed suicide
last Sunday afternoon Entering his
granary, he took shotgun and deliber-
ately held it under his chin and fired, the
charge of shot tearing out one of his eyes,
bis nose, mouth and tongue. Notwith-
standing the terrible nature of bis wounds,
he was able to reach the barn-falling
down, however, several times on the way
and fastening a rope to beam put his
neck in moose and swung himself off.
When discovered life, of course, was ex-
tinct. He had been drinking hard for
some weeks previous, and Saturday re-
turned FROM serving sentence of six days
in Jefferson jail for being drunk and disor
de-ly Neither had resided in this vicin-
ity about twenty-five years. He was 81
years of age and leaves wife, four sons

There is not one person in 100 Of tho mill
ions who travel on railroads in the course Of
q year who has any idea Of the speed of a
train A large per cent of even the regular
trainmen Of the country cannot tell with any
degree OF accuracy how fast train is run
ming. Frequently engineers are dispatched
on a trip over q line of railroad with instruc-
tions to run at speed Of a certain number
Of miles an hour. The engineers do not carry
speed indicator, but have learned by vari-
GUS methods to gauge their engines SO as to
make only the slightest variation from their
crtiera
The majority Of engineers use their driving
wheel as a gauge They know its circumfer-
ence, and by counting its revolutions within
certain time can tell very accurately the
speed at which they are running. Another
method Is to time the run between mile posts,
and still another Is to make calculations from
the number OF telegraph poles passed in a
certain time These poles, in a level country,
and where four or five wires are used, are
spaced 20 that they are thirty to the mile.
II only single wire z used they are spaced
from twenty-five to twenty-eight to the mile
The most accurate method, and the one
most In use by experienced railroad men, is
TO count the number of rail joints the train
passes over In twenty seconds. The rails in
nearly all cases are thirty feet In length, and
the number passed over In twenty seconds IL
the speed per hour train is running. For
instance, II q passenger sitting in q sleeper
can count thirty clicks of the wheels ON a
rail joint In twenty seconds the train Is run
ming ut the speed of thirty miles an hour

The statement that twenty per cent.
protects to the extent of twenty per cent.
is not true as it stands alone unqualified.
II is merely an assertion that does not
contain any thinking whatever. One little
illustration will be convincing. If the
water 10 poor mans cellar is ten inches
high and his rubber boots are only eight
Inches tall, be is not protected at all, for
the water hlls his boots and they are ut
tsrly useless as a protective quality. II
there be no water In the cellar. then an
eight. inch boot is protection 10 that ex
tent, but even then if the water rises
eight inches the man can't move without
40 overflow. The safest way is to keel
the boots always higher than the water.
So with , twenty per cent. duty or any
other per cent, IL does not protect one
mite II 1t does not stop the flow of foreign
goods into the American market. The
American workingman Is not going to BE-
forced through sea of foreign goods
twenty inches high without boots high
enough to cover the pillows and acciden.

The pretence OF tho Democrats that
the Republicans are in favor of taxing
''the necessaries of life, +" aud that what
the Democrats desire to do is to take Off
the taxes--although customs duties are
not taxes----on such necessaries, is both
false and fraudulent. The largest single
item of reduction proposed in the Mills
bill is that of the duties on English,
French and German wooden goods. Are
these "necessaries Of life to the Ameri.
can citizen? tho Jersey City "Journal'
pertinently asks. The Democrats must
believe that American wooden goods are
not good enough for Americans to wear,
and they would, in order to get the for
| eign made articles, break down and de-
stroy the wooden industries OF this coun-
try, and force all Americans to dress in
English, French and German clothes,
made by cheaper labor. But the Demo
Gratis do not propose i'll the Mills bill to
take of the duty on sugar, which ia a
necessary of life. Why Because the
| Democrats of Louisiana are sugar max
ers, aud they insist on having protection.
1t would not do to apply the free trade
shopping knife to the Democratic vote
in Louisiana, but Cleveland, Carlisle,
Mills & Co., have no hesitation 10 strik-
ing at the wool growers of Ohio and
Vermont, Republican States, aud the
wool spinners and weavers in other Re
publican States. What q fraud and
humbug a Democratic free trader is,
anyhow. when he pretends that he is a
friend of the workingman, and anxious
about the prices of the ''necessaries Of
life p Morristown Jerseyman.

The iron industry of Pennsylvania
has been for many years in dismal
state Of depression, out of which ii
comes by fits and starts for brief
breathing spell There is too much COM
petition in the business to enable the
most successful managers to realize
more than fair profit out OF it; and il
is ignorance and demagogism of tue
worst kind to charge that great fortunes
are reaped from it by virtue of the tariff
protection it gets. But for that pro-
lection it could not exist; with that pro-
