we have abundant facilities in this country
 all of the comforts and luxuries. Protection to these, far from working injury, is posi-
 tive good. But we cannot turn out English literature. We need freedom of intercourse with Huxley and Farrar and William Black and Herbert Spencer, far more than with Manchester and Birmingham. The average "literary man" may deny this, but the fact remains.
 The Mills bill disturbs the chair manufac- turers, ard Gardner, Massachusetts, where
 the HeysTeods employ 1900 men, is up in arms. The town gave Blaine six plurality in 1884, and has been growing Democratic ever since, giving the Democratic candidate
 alarmed and with good reason. A new young mems Republican club has been formed and several prominent Democrats and good many of the Democratic workinguaen have
 joined the club and declare that they will
 vote for Harrison and protection for their
 industry. Edward M. Ellis, one of these leading Democrats, is the inventor of 8 ma
 chine which strips the chair rattans, and says that the passage of the Mills bill will
 almost stop their use in America. Henry Heywood, the head of the chair business, says that the importation of manufactured
 reeds free of duty will compel him to reduce
 the wages of his employees.
 Rev. Dr. Hyde, president of the theologi-
 cal seminary at Honolulu. tells how he was
 once greatly puzzled over native word. A
 young Hawaiian who-had applied to him for
 admission 10 the seminary was relating his
 experience. He said that before his conver-
 sion he had been wild and worthless fellow,
 in fact ''Kamepule" (pronounced Kammy-
 poolyl. This word stuck Dr. Hyde. He
 went to all the dictionaries and glossaries,
 but couldn't find it. Then he asked other ex-
 perts in the language, but they conld not enlighten him, till finally one of the profes
 sors stumbled upon the correct etymology.
 It appears that the Hawaiians have roe,. az ds' or 'sf " in their language, but in adopting
 foreign words substitute 'flE' for i'd" and
 ''p'' for "f." The student had adopted an
 English expression which he had often heard
 and supposed to beg perfectly orthodox to
 characterize his total deprayity.
 An improved method of distributing oil on the waters has been patented in Germany. It consists of rocket to which is attached a cylinder filed with oil. It is said the rocket can be fired with accuracy from the ship and that when it explodes the oil is scattered just where it is wanted. Several interesting ex- periments have recently been made between Bremen and New York. In one the rocket was fired distance of 1 ,500 feet and less dis tances. By the explosion Of five rockets at a distance of from ], 200 to 1,500 feet from the ship space of 1 ,500 to 2,00o squaze feet of
 water was covered with oil and the waves were at oncs smoothed. The rocket was fired 900 feet against a gale. The importance of the invention to deep water sailors consists 1 in the certainty of explosion of the rocket at sufficient distance to leave the vessel in calm water during gale.

HIRED DEmOCRATs

If assertions from the Democratic ranks continue at the present rate the campaign will be practically over before long. :, A few examples will serve to show the drift of things.
 In Cleveland's own State the revolt against him and the ideas he represents is especially conspicuous. The Buffalo News, which four years ago supported him, announces it's dis gust with his official misconduct and danger ous tariff reform ideas and declares opposi- tion to him. The Utica. Press publishes in- terviews with eighty-four RepublicanE who bolted in 1884 and signed card just before election agreeing to vote for Cleveland. Three-fourths of them say they are for liar rison and Morton and only half dozen are for Cleveland. George W. Smith of Herki- mer, who has been prominent Democratic leader for twenty years and twice candidate for Congress, comes out for Harrison and Morton. The Hon. Mortimer Southworth, a leading Democrat of Leckport, deserts Cleve- land for Harrison because Cleveland prom- ised he would not run second time, because he has completely ignored civil service re- form and because his free trade message is an

But am voting for Kansi No matter whom the Republicans had nominated Benjamin Harrison or Jim Blaine or any body else-I would have voted for him. will not vote for Cleveland. If this State does not go Republican by large majority I shall be very much surprised.
 In other States there are similar indica- tions. Dr. William H. Whitley of Paterson, New Jersey, lifelong Democrat, who has always been active in political work for his party, has resigned his membership in the Jackson Democratic club and announced his intention of supporting Harrison and Morton and protection. Dr. J. L. Forwood of Ches- ter, Pennsylvania, a long acknowledged lead CT of his party, president sf the board of trade and for twelve years mayor of the city, has cut loose from his party and declared himself in favor of protection. O. F. Winkley of Harrington, New Hampshire, a member of the State Democratic committee, has written a letter denouncing Cleveland in strong terms and saying that the Democratic party is now in a more humiliating position than at any time since the government was founded. These are only few out of the large num- Der of assertions already made public. It is very evident that all is not harmony in the party of reform.

 All visitors are received at the Harrison mansion in truly democratic fashion. A servant girl admits the visitor at once to the parlor. When the Tribune correspondent entered the psrlor he found there ex-Gover. nor Cumback, of Indiana; correspondent of St. Louis newspaper, book publisher, who wished to eet out campaign life of General Harrison; Republican drummer, J who thought he would like to shake hands with 1.-the next President" member of the Indiana delegation at Chicago, and w. W. H. Miller, law partner of General Harri- son and a veteran Union soldier. General Harrison was eating lunch but soon entered the room, and seeing MT. Cumback he said:
 s'How do you do, WilI?''
 He then shook him warmly by the hand and cordially welcomed all others in the room. General Harrison's manner was un- constrained, but his modesty was apparent candidacy. Visitors who should see him for the first time would see man below the me- dium height, rather thick set, with a large head set upon athletic shoulders, an open. frank countenance, blue eyes, yellowish gray hair and beard, fine white teeth and a high, broad brow. @

EDIT0KIAL NOTES.

The standing offer of the Indianapolis Jour nal of $1, 900 to anyone who will prove that General Harrison ever said that "one dollar day is enough for any workingman" is like ly to stand. The Democratic campaign liar has got stuck early.
 It is stated that two thousand Italians in New York city are absolutely destitute and dependent wholly upon charity for the con- tinvance of existence. This is another indi- cation that the time has come to do some~ thing towards checking immigration.
 We have heard good deal about the su- periority of home life in France, bat now that divorces can be. obtained there the mat ter has another look. The total number of petitions filed under the new law from 1884 to 1886 exceeds 20, 900. Among those who, in 1886, asked for divorce pure and simple, 24 had been married 50 years. Fifteen Dar- bies asked to be separated from 15 loans without divorce. The largest number of dis agreeing couples had been married from to 10 years. One hundred and nine couples wanted to be divorced before the honeymoon had waned. Of 3,696 cases violence was the reason of the application. Of the applica- tions for divorce in 1886, S5 per cent. results ed in the sundering of the oppressive ties. A French viscountess is charged with working new and clever scheme to make an
 income at the expense of confding capital
 ists. She claimed to be the lawful heir of q certain man named Bonnet, who, after amassing great fortune in the East Indies
 hundred years or so ago, settled In Vienna
 and there died, leaving vast amount of
 money deposited in 8 bank in that city. She
 formed partnership with the priest of cer
 tain parish in Paris and with two other me n,
 and solicited subscriptions of $20 each for the purpose of aiding her to recover her tate. Each subscription was to be redeem
 able when her suit was successful at the rate
 of $400 for the $20. Circulars containing
 this proposition were circulated freely and
 money was coming in rapidly when some
 subscriber became suspicious and communi-
 cated with the police.
 The Bridgeport Standard makes 8 good
 point when it says: Almost every man of
 mark in the field of letters, who is engaged
 in the agitation for an international copyright
 law, is blowing his horn for free trade in every other branch of industry He appar- ently sees no inconsistency His motto is "open gates for all production but ours, 8 Chinese wall for all that. , And yet, while the protection of copyright is a just and l righteous thing, it must be remembered that

"With the Camel Corps up the Nile, "
by Count Gleichen. contains this story
of the fight at Abu klea At least half
its value consists in the view which it
gives of the writer's stolidlty

the skirmishers had barely time to run
in beforethe Ara .bs were upon them, one
unfortunate man of the 60th. an officers

ent firing. | was with my company on
the right front, and anXiously my men
looked for something beyond stray
skirmishing niger to shoot at. The
camels inside the square obscured all
vision to the fighting flank, and we had
already concluded that the fire of
the heavies and mounted in
fantry had swept back the Arabs, when
suddenly terrific shock was ielt, ac-
companied by redoubled yells and fir
ing. | found myself lifted off my legs
among surging mass of heavies and
Sussex, who had been carried back
against the camels by the impetuous
rush of the enemy. Telling the men to
stand fast, | forced my way through the
jam to see what had happened. Heavies,
Sussex, and camels of all sorts were
pressing with terrific force on our thin
double rank, and it seemed every
moment as if it must give; but it didn't.
On getting through to the other
side OF the press a grewsome sight
was seen. Immediately in front were
swarms of Arabs in desperate hand-to-
hand fight with our men, hacking, hew-
ing, hamstringlng and yelling like a
crowd of black devils on ground liter
ally piled up with dead and dying.
Everything depended on the
front and right faces standing fast. And
we'll did they stick to it. With the
rear rank faced about, the men stub
bornly withstood the pressure, and
do what they would, the Arabs
could not break in the solid mass of men
ana camels. 1t was too hot to last. At
length the enemy, almost annihilated,
wavered, turned, and retreated sullenlv,
our men shooting them down in scores
till they disappeared out of range over
the hilltops."
Among the useful military lessons
taught by the campaign was one on the
subject of long range fire at Metemneh
Crowds of Arabs were seen running
about just outside of town. Here's a
grand chance, thought c., the form

of the extended company of grenadiers,

of niggers. The effect Of the vUlleys
was extra ordinary. At that enormous
distance We saw, with the help of our
glasses, some two or three Arabs drop,
and all the rest skedaddled as fast as
their legs would carry them into the
town, dropping their household goods

Figures Full OF Interest
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

From the MILWAUKEE, NlsconSlu.
Advance sheets of a public document
compiled by David I. Day, chief of the
division of mining statistics and tech
nology of the Interior Department, con-
tain some important statistics in regard
to the mineral resources of the United
States. Among the metals, iron, of
course, leads in importance, and its in
crease of production and consumption
is of more popular interest than the
changes in the statistics as to other
metals.
According to Mr. Days compilation
Ii 300 900 long tons of domestic iron ore
were consumed in 1887, valued at the
mines at $33 900, 000-an increase over
1856 of 100000 tons in quantity and
Is .904, 900 in value. With ] 1874 ,30l tons
OF imported iron ore that was consumed,
the Total consumption of iron ore dur
ing 1887 was about ~ 494 ,30l long tons,
or !, i54 sos tons more than i'll 1886. OF
pig iron 6,4l7, l4S long tons weIs made
during 1887, valued at the furnace at
$l2l 1928, S00-an increase over 1886 OF
733, Sl9 tons in quantity and S26, 100, 0i0
III value. In 1887, there was produced
3 $3.50 OIL long tons of steel valued at the
works at S03, 81 OCEAN increase in
quantity of 7I6, 500 tons over 1856. The
total spot value of all iron and steel in
the first stage of manufacture, eXclud-
ing al, Implications, was $l7l ,lU3 900, an
increase of $2S ,6O3, 100 as compared with
1856.
Iron and steel are now entering so
largely into every branch Of mechanics
and architecture that iron ore is above all
others the precious metal Of the world.
The increases above shown are in
marked contrast to the statistics in re-
gard to the production OF gold-the
metal most precious in popular estima-
tion-which are the only figures that
show decline in comparison with the
mine output of 1886. The total value of
gold produced in 1887 was S33, 100, 900, a
decrease of 81 900, 900 from 1886; but s;l-
yer increased from SOL 900, 900 in 1886,
to $53, All 300 (coining valuel in 1887
The figures in relation to the coal out
put are especially interesting at
the present time, when consumer
and dealer are haggling over the
price per ton of the winter supply. The
total production of all kinds of CONNER
cial coal in 1887 Was l23 ,965 ,255 short
tons, valued at the mines at Sl73 $40, 1896
an increase in quantity and value over
the output of 1886, respectively, of 10,
2S3, 0i6 tons and s26,4lS,24l. To the
increase in the coal output for 1887
should be added the amount displaced by
natural gas, which is figured at 9,055, ONO
short tons, which at an average value OF
81 80 ton for coal makes the measure
of the value of natural gas Sl3, 5S2 800.
In 1886 only $3.50, 200 short tons of coal
were displaced by gas, valued at 50, S47, )
$50. In close relationship to these facts
in regard to fuel are the statistics in re-
gard to the output OF the oil wells which

These figures as TO the mineral re-
sources of the United States are inter
esting in their indication of the drift oil
popular endeavor and the dire ctions in
which progress is being most rapidly
made.

The Wonder, Buzz.
From the New York Tribune.

rum lile new 1OIh
That 50-foot launch, Buzz, beyond a
doubt, has accomplished more, rela-
lively, than any other steam vessel ever
built. SIX or seven years ago, &. ID.
Mosher, of Amesbury, Mass, undertook
a careful study of all modern works on
engineering in general, and on fast
steamboats, in particular After many
experiments Mr.. Mosher shaped a
model that did not change its immersion
at the stern at any speed. The result
was contrary to all precedent
The screw is made of phosphor-
bronze, finished all over, 80 inches in
diameter and five feet pitch. and was
also designed by Mr.. Mosher. On this
screw the water accumulates from the
axis to the tips of the blades, being
prevented from being released centrif-
ugal,y by lip or backward curve. The
screw revOlves at maximum speed from
600 to 700 times per minute, and has
bolted the launch through the water at
the rate of a mile in two minutes and
eight seconds. The little speeder is
now the property of w. w. Ames. Mr..
MOsher Is now drawing the plans for q
l00-tooi steam yacht, on the same prin-
clple as the Buzz, and expects to do
some hair raising work next year.
w. w. Ames is willing and anxious to
match the little launch just described
against anything of her size in the world.
1t is gratifying to hear that the cnal-
Ienge has already been responded to.
About the middle of this month the
Buzz will enjoy contest of speed with
the launch Jersey Lily, on the Shrews-
bury River. The Lily is the property
of Commodore Munro.

melons are not heard of, but musk
melons are imported in small quantities
from France.
The English people as rule eat well
and heartily and without much in the
way of fancy cooking and, very sensibly,
they do not stuff themselves with lot
of rich and greasy food. The English
man starts in with brandy and soda in
the morning and habitually drinks alco-
holic beverages with his meals and
more or less at other times.
The English beefsteak is generally
broiled and is tender and juicy, and the
roast beef is uncommonly good, the
roasting piece being, not rib, as Amer
leans sometimes have it, but a very
thick porterhouse steak. The domestic
beef, mutton, ham and bacon cannot be
beaten for quality, and are justly en-
titled to all the the praise that has been
given to them. The venson is not well
favored, and the birds are hung up un-
til they are almost putrid. At any rate

Remark able Tunnels.

Among the great tunnels which have
been excavated, says a writer in Serb
ner's Magazine, the ST. Gothard IS the
most remarkable. 1t is 81 miles long.
with section 26i feet wide by l3S feet
high. The work on this tunnel was con-
tlnuous, and it required Ct years for its
completion. The Mont Cents tunnel.
81 miles In length, was completed in
twelve years. The Hoosac tunnel, A
miles in length, % feet wide and 2l} feet
high, was not prosecuted continuously;
1t was completed in 1876. These tunnels
are notable chiefly on account of their
gfeat length; there are others of more
moderate extent which have peculiar
features; one is unique. This tunnel is
portion o. the st. Gothsrd railway,
and not very far distant from the great
tunnel referred to above. In the de-
scent OF the mountlin il was
absolutely necessary to secure
longer distance than straight
line or an ordinary curve would give.
