ARE THERE ANY HERE 7-Thore are
some men so constituted that they cannot
help planting themselves squarely in the
way of all progress. They discourage
Improvements, sthe enterprise, choke
public spirit, frown upon all questions of
change for the better, and grope along in
the old way. They are magnates, many
Of them, and attract gold, and when it
reaches them it "sinks far into their We
nal souls" so deep thet ne one ever sees it
again. They are money gctters, not be-
canse of superior ability, but because the
fates cast them into a money-making
groove, and they lack the versatility to
get out of it. They are the absorbents
that lick up the .'life- blood of com
merce." They have only one idea-one
mad passion-and that is a lust for mon
ey. And this money must be made with
ont the risk of a dollar Anything that
neccssitates the investment of money is
tabooed. They produce nothing, help
nothing, are of no benefit to society, but
sit around watching opportunities of get
ting fellowman .'in Il tight" then they
crush him. Such men never die, because
they never have lived. Some day they
will lie down and forget to get up and
collect rents and interest, aud then they
will be laid away out of sight. The sun
will shine brighter when they are gone.
Their names shall he unsyllabled, their
deeds MISUNDERSTANDING.

The following innovation for serving
tea is clipped from the City Item: The
fashion now in serving tea to callers is
the "Chinese." A hollow ball of gold or
tilver about the size of walnut is sus-
pended from finger ring by a slender
chain. Tho ball divides in the middle,
and the halves are hinged and are perfo-
rated. Sometimes it is made of gold or
silver wire ganze The hostess opens the
hollow ball, fills the halves with dry tea
leaves and clasps it shut. She then slips
the ring from which it is suspended npon
one of the fingers Of the right hand
Filling teacup with hot water, she let's
the ball hang in the cup, and moves it
back and forth and up and down until
the water is colored to the strength de-
sired. The strength of the tea, of course,
depends upon the length of time the ball
is dawdled in tho cup. The little cere-
mony is much pleasanter to the eye than
he old way of pouring out tea, especially
if the hostess be graceful and have pref
tily modelled hand and wrist. Moreover,
it produces an UNNECESSARILY finer cup of
tea than can be had by any other method.

The Montana soIons.

HELENA, Mont, December 19.-Little
occurred in either house of the Legisla-
ture this morning. After roll.call the
Senate took recess until 2 p. NJ, and
forthwith went into a joint caucus in
order to arrive at some understanding as
to permanent organization. The most
important event of the day was the filing
of suit against State Auditor Kenney by
Col. w. F. Sanders, as attorney for the
Republican members of the lower house.
The suit is brought to compel the Auditor
to pay the mileage and per diem of mem.
bers, which he refused to do, as no ap-
preparation has been made for the pay
ment. 1t is apparent that the suit is only
brought in order to bring the whole ques-
tion before the courts.
The Senate completed organic alton by
the election of officers. Seven Demo.
Gratis refused to vote, but the presiding
officer declared that seven Republicans
made quorum, and after the election of
President pro. tenn. the majority of the
Democrats retired from the chamber
The Senate appointed q committee to
wait on the Republican House and in
form that body that the Senate was or
ganized and ready for business.

said: Read and study it,"

Another Indian, American Horse, also
made an address, after which the Presi.

adds that the claims that certain

The continental policy of the western

in the history of Mexico, and in virtue
of that policy it is fact that Brazil is in

exorbitant charge would entirely de-
stroy their industry, the profits
NOT being very large. No other firm in
the country has had long experience in
the manufacture Of large telescopes.
Consequently, If the Treasury Depart
ment insists upon its stupid decision, it
will utterly ruin most honorable occu-
patton and play into the hands of for
eign manufacturers. Meanwhile the
American people will watch the situa-
tion with interest. This is protection"
which will not commend itself to the
good judgment of fair-minded citizens of
any party, ,and the sooner such protection
is abandoned the better it will be for the
reputation and welfare Of the United
States.
The lame excuse given for the

manufacturer of optical goods in an east.
ern city has been importing his wares
free of charge. But the difference be
tween ordinary optical goods and costly
material for the masterpieces of astro
nomical apparatus is too apparent tc
require moments comment. The at
tempt to class them together and charge
accordingly is such contemplate folly
that one might suppose any novice would
have sense enough to avoid the blunder
While it is sunblushingly defended in higt

DETROIT, December 19.--At the Tilden

sixteen girls were rehearsing Christ

tomorrow, one of the performers acci-
dentally struck candle with her wand,
igniting the wand. The flames we're

however, and the other four seriously,

that Powderly was derelict in his duty
and the committee sham. In June,
1888, Callaghan published letter about

said after his last letter Powderly cir

year, to nominate Assemblymen, Gal

injurious stories had been circulated.
and asked the publication of his letter.
Later he accused Powderly of vilifyine
him by circulating stories which led to
his defeat, and declared if his letter had
been published it would have eaved him,
but that Powderly sacrificed him
to save himself, as the letter
would have exposed Powderly's g

Powderly published full statement OF

FIagrant Republican Ini ustico.

For more than forty years the we'll.
known firm of Alvan Clark & Co. have
been engaged in the manufacture of tele-
scopes in Massachusetts. About twenty
years ago their present unrivaled factory
was constructed at Cambridgeport. At
first the lenses were ground and polished
by hand--a very slow and laborious pro-
cess. Subsequently expensive machin-
cry was invented by q member of the
firm, considerably facilitating some
stages of the manufacture. But with the
best appliances many months are re-
quired to produce first.class instru-
ment. The Messrs. CLARK have made
hundreds of telescopes, some Of which
are unexcelled in any country. Besides
filing orders for the leading observatories
in the United States, they have sent
some excellent instruments to Europe,
and hence their fame is not restricted to
national confines.
Californians need not be reminded that
the greatest refracting telescope in the
world, at the Lick observatory, was man.
ufactured by this firm. The next tele.
scope in size and power was also made
by the Messrs. CLARK, and for several
years has been doing good service at q
Russian observatory. q titled astronomer
being its faithful custodian.
The glasses for telescope lenses are i'm.
ported in rough condition from Paris,
no American glass works at present
having the requisite skill. Many
expensive attempts to form suitable
vitreous mass are entirely unsuccessful.
As the instruments are intended solely
for the advancement of science, the
Messrs. Clark for more than two score
years have imported the crude disks free
of duty. At the Paris glass works, how
ever. it has been customary to polish a
email space upon the edge or main sur.
face OF the disk, in order to demonstrate
at glance that the quality of the glass
was suitable for the purpose intended.
Our sapient Treasury Department has
abandoned the liberal policy Of the past,
and In the case of 4 recent importation
has demanded the payment Of duties
amounting to forty-fve per cent. The
Messrs. CLARK have appealed from this
dscision, ON the ground that such an
