ALUM MUM.

81 was talking to Mr.. Chamberlain
the other day." said Judge Tompkins,
one of the owners of the Sheffield
Ala, Land Co. Mr.. Chamberlain is
a practical man of our coal and iron
company. He made startling sug-
gestion. Said he, "the time may
come when all the iron mines of this
country will be abandoned. The
most generally diffused metal on
earth is aluminium. 1t is found al
most invariably in clay, especially in
red clay. 1t is now extracted from
clay by very expensive and tedious
process, at a cost of more than $500
a ton. Some one will invent pro-
cess for getting aluminium out of clay
by rapid and cheap process. Then,
farewell to iron mines"
81 asked him what was the value
of aluminium"
He replied, "It has three times the
strength of steel, and only one-third
its weight. This makes it, of course,
the most valuable of metals. 1t was
only discovered in 1928. 1t is bright
and never furnishes. Louis Napo-
leon offered $4,000 for process for
extracting it from clay, and two small
bars were presented to him by a
French chemist as the result. 1t
was immensely expensive, but Napo-
leon had works established for ex-
tracing it, and he used it as sub
stitute for the silver eagles that were
borne above the armies of France.
1t has oil the beauty of silver, is
more lasting, stainless and has one
fourth the weight of silver. The ca
giles of France are more resplendent,
more enduring and rs per cent.
lighter in weight. Look out for
Some one will yet invent
a process for digging up common dirt
and extracting therefrom the best of
all metals"

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The Republican Presidential nomi-
nee was born August 20, 1888, at
Hamilton, Ohio. He attended the
university at Oxford, and graduated
from that institution. For two years
he read law in Cincinnati, and in
1854 went to indianapolis, which has
ever since been his place of residence.
He soon acquired sterling reputa-
ton for his ability in law matters. In
1860 he was elected reporter of the
Supreme Court of Indiana. AT the
outbreak of the late civil war he en-
listed in the Federal service and was
soon after commissioned Second Lieu
tenant. He was one of the $4,000
men who responded to President Lin
coins first call for troops. After the
expiration of the term of his enlist
ment he organized company Of vol
unteers, and was made Colonel OF the
10th Indiana volunteers. He was
commissioned Brigadier- General and
was mustered out In 1868. In 1876
he ran for Governor Of Indiana on
the Republican ticket, but was de-
feated. In 1879 he was appointed to
the Mississippi River Commission. In
1881 he was chosen for Indiana to
succeed F. Mcdonald Democrat) in
the United States Senate, and made
host of friends in that body. In
1884 his name was most prominently
mentioned as the possible choice OF
the Republican National Convention,
and had break occurred in Blaine's
forces he probably would have been
elected. In 1887 he was defeated in
the Indiana Legislature for re-elec-
ton to the Senate. The contest in
Indiana threatened to end in riot and
anarchy. Gross fraud was charged
by both sides. The contest was ia
ken to the Senate and the claim of
David Turpie, Harrison's successor,
was allowed.

The VEro PowER.-The speech
made by Senator Stewart on May
gath, on joint resolution proposing
to SO amend the Constitution that on
ly a majority vote of the two Houses
of Congress, instead of two-thirds
vote, shall be required to pass a bill
over the Presidents veto, is most
severe one on the methods and prac-
tees OF the present administration
The speaker traced the matter down
from the origin of the law to the
present time, showing how the first
Presidents never vetoed bill, how
of late the encroachments have been
more and more on the part of the
President, until he amounts to a vir-
tual dictator. He cites the fact that
Jefferson, John Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Martin Van Buren,, Zachary
Taylor and Willard Fillmore did not
once exercise the veto power; that
from the time of the adoption of the
Constitution to the 4th of March,
1885, the whole number of vetoes in
terposed by all the Presidents num-
bered one hundred and thirty three.
President Cleveland, in three years
and two months, interposed one hun
dred and seventyfour and refused
fifty others that had been presented
to him within the last days of ses-
sion of Congress. During his term,
President Tyler interposed ten vetoes.
His fifth veto 50 aroused the lndigna-
ton of Congress that select House
Committee was appointed to take in
to consideration the reasons of the
President in refusing his assent to
fhs bill. Ex-President John Quincy
Adams was chairman of the commit
tee, and his report was a scorching
arraignment of the then executive,
winding up with proposition to
amend the Constitution, as Senator
Stewart proposed to amend it now.
