NEVER STOOD BETTER.

The Vermont senators and representa-
tives were never stronger in the conf
dence and respect, both of the party at
large and of their constituents at home
than they are today. Not a man of them
feels, or has any occasion to feel, any
uneasiness in regard to his political fu-
ture. The Vermont Republicans still
know when they are ably, honestly and
inhuentially represented in the national
legislature; and they are no more giver
to sudden starts or foolish freaks or sen
sational surprises than they have been in
the past Burlington Free Press.

a Kings Bedsteai of Glass.
Calcutta Fag'ichman.

A beautiful glass bedstead, which was
exhibited at the Calcutta exhibition
and purchased for the king of Burmah,
seems to have raised a desire in the
mind of another native millionaire in
this country to become possessed of a
similarly beautiful article. There has
been on view the latest specimen of a
work of art in the manufacture of glass
beds, which has been completed IN
Birmingham. While following to a
great extent the pattern of the bed in
the exhibition, several improvements
have been introduced in the present
bed which give it moro effective ap-
pearance by the introduction of ruby
glass in several places, helping by its
contrast to display the beautiful work
of the purer crystal.
The leSs and pillars which carry the
canopy, the head rail and fOOt-rail are
all of solid glass, of faultless brilliancy,
most richly cut and ingeniously fitted
together without the aid of any metal
supporters, which insures the brilllancy
of the pure crystal being shown to the
best advantage. The canopy is sur
rounded with ruby -colored velvet hang
inps. ornamented with crosses and
bosses in silver glass and slrmountec
by stars and crescents placed alternately

course, no bed is complete without {

The Beer Brewing Ind us try.

There appears in Harper's Magazine
an article on beer brewing in the nited
States. 1t appears that this stands
sixth among all industries in this
country in the amount of capital used,
being exceeded only by metals, cottons,
woolens, and worsteds, lumber and
flour; and its growth is shown by the
fact that, whereas in 1880 the produc-
ton in the United States was something
over -, goo, 600 barrels, in 1888 it was
over IS. 900, 600. The United States
stands third in the list of beer produc-
ing countries-Great Britain at the last
general estimate brewing 1,000,0 600, 900
gallons, Germany 900, 900, 900, and
the United States 500, 600, 600.
The census reported ,, 191 breweries
employing %, 220 people, who earned
wages of S465.2l yearly--an average
higher than in almost any other
industry. The words ale" and beer
are used indiscriminatcly in England,
but American brewers cOnfne the word
beer to lager, the product of what is
known as the under fermentation pro
cess, and ale to the product of the
EXPERIMENTATION process, which are
carried on with different kinds Of yeast
and at different temperatures.

THE LEAD ORE DECISION.

The lead-mining interests will be dis
appointed with the decision of the Sec
retary of the treasury regarding the
classification of lead and silver ores.
Other interests of no less Importance
will be entirely satisfied with the posi-
tion of the secretary. The matter is
familiar one. Last May the treasury
department was asked to revoke the
long-stapdlng ruling under which the
lead-silver ores of Mexico were admitted
free of duty, on the grdAnd that these
ores are composed chiefly of
lead which is dutable. Pursuant to
this request, and pending an investiga-
tion, the secretary of the treasury di-
reeted collectors of customs TO exercise
greater care respecting the admission
of these ores and to require the payment
of duty on them when the amount OF sill
yer in them was less than the amount of
lead. The immediate effect of this was
to close up number of the ead-silver
mines of Mexico, aud to lead that gov
ernment, as is believed, to adopt Il
policy of tariff retaliation applicable
to the live stock and dressed meats in
terests of the United States.
This question has commanded great
deal of attention from the administra-
ton. There has been astrong pressure
from the lead mining interests for re-
vocation of the old ruling. Other in
terests have been equally active in OPP
position to revoiiing it. The influence
of the American minister to Mexico
has undoubtedly been thrown in
favor of allowing the old rul-
ing to stand, and it is be-
lieved he has been supported in
this by Secretary Blaine. The fact
that delegates are here from other
American countries to discuss u more
liberal policy for extending trado rela-
tions has eXerted n measure of inhu-
ence. Aud besides all this was the
force of the uniform decisions and prac-
tice of the department for II number Of
wears. These decisions, together with
the opinion expressed in n senate re-
port submitted by the judiciary commit
tee of that body only last year, have
been in effect that If the
value OF silver or gold in
the ores imported from Mexico was
| greater than that of the lead, though
the weight might be less, the ores are
not subject to duty. The reasonable
presumption of the secretary is that it
was the intention of congress, that body
having knowledge of the rulings and
practice OF the department, that the
classification should turn on the question
of value aud not of quantity, and he
therefore decides that the department Il
is without authority TO change the
departmental and congressional
definition of these ores, and in
faith of which large business interests
have been established. The present
classification, in the opinion of the sec.
! retary, has attained the force OF con-

nence. a fcw capitalists clung TO what
at first appeared TO be a wildcat VEN
ture, fought against the prejudice of
credulous people, and went right on
boring into the earth until success
crowned their indomitable staying
qualities. The number of flowing wells
controlled by them is guarantee that
Omaha and Nebraska will reach n large
share OF tho benefit sure to follow.
The railroads reaching out for
the traffic of this region, the erection
OF refineries, and the widespread
interest manifested by capitalists will

tainly none insures greater returns.

Undoubtedly the matter will be pre-

probability of inducing that body
TO make any change. AS we
have heretofore said in refer
ring to this subject, the time
is not opportune for setting
up new restrictions aud erecting addi-
tioual barriers to our commercial rela-
tions with other American countries.
The tendency Is rather to finding prac-
tical ways for reducing the existing re-
strictions. The policy this country is
aiming to reach, with respect to all the
countries in this hemisphere, If the
Pan-AmerIcan congress has any sig
nificance, is that of freer trade between
all American countries. Senator Shcr-

THE NEV COMMISSIONER.

The new commissioner OF pensions,
General Raum, will assume the duties
of the Office to-day. He is we'll equipped
for the position, having had consld-
cradle experience in public life, and
being also lawyer and an old soldier.
Commissioner Rtium will take charge
of the office under circumstances de-
manding the most careful, Intelligent
and conservative conduct in its admin
istration. The developments OF the last
few months have caused public atten-
tion to be directed to the affairs OF the
pension Office to an extent as 1T had
never been before, and the in terest thus
| aroused will follow every act OF the new
commissioner. This fact, however, need
cause him no embarrassment, for the
course OF his predecessor has not less
ened the desire of the country to do
justice to the old soldiers in the matter
OF pensions, but simply created public

| The immense proportions attained by
the pension service makes the Office
OF commissioner one of the highest inn

| cording to the annual report of the COM
missioner for the last fiscal year, just
completed, the number of pensioners is
within a few thousand OF half a million,
nearly ffty-two thousand having been
added TO the list during the year. These
beneficiaries of the governmentr received
over eighty-eight million dollars, and
larger sum will be disbursed during the
current fiscal year. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that the Office of pension
commissioner is one of very great and
grave responsibilities, requiring not
only exceptional ability but the highest
integrity. This service is likely to be
thoroughly Investigated by the next
congress, aud material changes in ex-
listing laws are TO be expected.

4 WESTERN PENNSYLTANIA. m

The oil fields of Wyoming have
passed the prospecting stage. The
quality and quantity Of the fluid is no
longer n question of experiment, but Il
demonstrated reality. These fields are
divided into three distinct divisions
the central or Lander district, the
Stockade district on the northern
boundary of the territory, extending
toward the Black Hills, and the big
Horn district. The first two districts
have been thoroughly explored, and
their extent and value as oil producers
settled beyond dispute, while the Big
Horn district is in the development
stage.
These oil basins are continuous and
well defined. Flowing wells are the
rule rather than the exception, and
scarcely drill has been sunk that did
not penetrate q vast internal sea of oil
and gas. The Importance OF this vast
oil bearing region to the commerce of
this country can not be readily esti-
mated. For thirty years Pennsylvania
has enjoyed practical monopoly of the
oil market of the world, ana the pro-
duct contributed as much as Its coal and
iron fields to make it the foremost in
dustrial state IN the union. What oil
has done for Pennsylvania it
will do for Wyoming and
the west. The output OF the
former is gradually decreasing,
showing that the oceans of oil are
nearly drained, End new fields must be
secured to supply the demand. The oil
fields of Russia do not promise great re-
turns. Even If they supply the local
markets OF the east, it Is not likely that,
with government restrictions and eX-
or bita MT taxation, they can ever be-
come dangerous competitor OF the
American product in tho markets OF
Europe.
These conditions are decidedly favor
able to the active development of Wyo-
ming. Already Pennsylvania capital-
lists are turning their attention TO the
new fields, aud capital is flowing in at
rate that insures great progress within
| the next five years.
To Omaha enterprise and foresight
