Return the Money.

At the Ocean Grove, N. j., camp
meeting the latest news from the devil
was announced a few Sundays ago. Rev.
DIR. Munhsll said that:
The devil exists as a person. He
rules in the affairs of men. He rules In
the governments Of earth. Satan is the
god Of this world. The devil runs
things now in Washington. / went
down under the Senate and found John
Barleycorn enthroned there, and he rules
this country. The whiskey party is not
a political party. 1t is the DEVILS party.
The Lord will come and there will be q
crash. and then God will set everything
right.
Commenting on the above, the San
Francisco Alta remarks; Gentlemen
who o bets that Harrison was elected
to run things at Washington will Of
course return the money"

BUSY DIGGING THE REPUBLI.
CAN PARTYS 0RAvE.

The Salt Lake Tribune (Rep.). in the
course Of an editorial under the heading
mot Over production Nor Tariff" con.
tains the following extract: when
Congress d~emonetized silver had il but
gone . little further and demonetized
gold also and made all debts payable in
diamonds, sapphires and rubies, prices
would have fallen much more rapidly
than two per cent per annum, and it
would not have been with much patience
that the people would have listened to
some diamond merchants dissertations
that the fall in prices was entirely due
either to the tariff or to over production.
But when the birds Of prey, who. under
the title Of bankers. Is they pile up their
fortunes wrung from the necessities Of
the people, advance those same theories
the people look at the stately houses in
which those men dwell, at the fair car
riages in which they ride. and say:
These men are sharp enough to accu-
mulate great fortunes. they must GER
tainly know ell about finances And
Congress seems to take the same view;
the over-estimated gentleman who is
Secretary Of the Treasury seems to hold
to the same idea. and the President Of the
United States has so far given no sign
that he is big enough to take any higher
ground. Rather it looks as though he
was busy digging the Republican party's

srmpLY DEPARTMENTAL LAW.

The shape which the Chinese question
has really taken is whether Congress can
make any law with reference to the Pa
cifc States which some Secretary or in
ferior Federal Judge will not set aside
whenever he feels like it. For the
transit privilege, rebuked so strongly in
public meeting in this city on Saturday
night last, says the San Francisco Bullc-
tin, there is no warrant Of law. II is
not anywhere in the Act. and Congress
refused to put it there. 1t is simply
departmental law in the nature OF the
repeal OF q law Of Congress. The transit
business is just now not very large. It
Is possible that the figures Of the move.
ment for some years past may have ex-
ercised an influence on the mind Of Sec
rotary Window. But it will grow with
amazing rapidity il 10 is not speedily
checked. 1t will exhibit huge proper
tions about the time that that official
will wish that he had never meddled in
the matter-that is to say in 1892.
Transit did not become alarming in the
years that have past, for the alleged
merchant princes and the prior residents
were pressing in, as fast as the coolies
could be placed. II the grocer and ma
tive American lodges should now fail,
as they must. coolie tourists will null
tiply like locusts. But whether the
movement should become dangerous or
not, there is clearly no law for it except
that formulated in the Department Of
the Treasury.

ten minutes after being shot, bat
whether anyone s2w the shooting we

fears that he will attempt to murder
his former wife, WHO'S at Scott & Co.'S
ranch near ffalleck. A telegram was
sent TO Hslleck requesting a messenger
10 70 Immediately to the Scott ranch
and warn Mrs. Kendrick Of her danger,

made to Brad. Waller last Sunday.

According 10 The San Francisco Min
ing Record a new article Of faei IS being
manufactured a. . substitute for coal.
IL is called petrOle, and is Manufactured
BY . 6rm in Minneapolis. and is the d.
rect outcome Of the scarcity Of fuel
which has retarded the birth Of manu-
featuring industries in that city, and. in
fact, the whole Northwest. The Record
says il is made from sAwdost, the re-
siduum Of crude petroleum, and . num-
Der Of other Ingredients which are not
made known by the inventors. The re-
siduum Of petroleum is mixed with the
other material and is heated in q large
sheet iron tank to 400 degrees Fab. Il
is then run into q mixing machine.
where it is thoroughly mixed with the
sawdest. and is sfterwArd carried by
means Of . chute to 9 heavy press,
where il is subjected to a pressure Of
1000 poands to the square inch, and
nodded into blocks ten inches long. four
inches wide and three inches thick. 1t
is claimed for this new fuel, which has
been successfully tested, that it is
cheaper and its results as satisfactory in
every way as coal. Arrangements are
being perfected in Minneapolis for its
manufacture on a large scale, and the
right to use the invention has already
been sold to a number OF States. 1t is
as well adapted for domestic as for man
ufscturing purposes. and the blocks can
be shipped and handled conveniently on
account Of their size.

 In spite of tue fact that inc United
 States to-day Is in better condition,
 and furnishes better opportunities for | the interchange of trade with every
 South and Central American natlon
 yet, comparatively speaking, not five
 per cent. of the entire traffic of these 1 countries with the rest of the world has ever reached our shores. There are men in our midst who claim that this non.intercourse between the na. lions of Central and South America and the United States is due largely, ii not wholly, 10 the American system of high tariff. That this position on the part of such Of our citizens as are willing to believe in this dogma IS
 wholly false and untenable, we have only to refer to the fact that the inter- course between these states and our own country is of such a character that the tariff amounts 10 compafa- lively nothing upon any substance which they export, no matter what the character may be, or what the coBdi- lion of tho expJrtaiion For example: One Of the greatest articles of expor- tatlon from South America is coffee,  and to-day there is not single cent of duty Ot any name or nature im- posed upon lLe importation of that article into the United States; and vel, in spite of this fact, there is moi per cent, of the entire amount of coffee consumed in this country, which in- wolves the consumption of more than halt of the entire product of Soul!
 Amerea, that reaches these shores ex- cept through English bottoms. We might illustrate this position in dozen different ways, but this truth would appear tue same in each illus tration. namely, that the barrier exist ing against international and conner piai union with Central and South America is not the barrier of tariff taxation in the United States. On the contrary, the United States has been SD thoroughly absorbed in its internal growth, progress, wealth, and prosper lty. that it has had nb time 10 attend to the details of foreign commerce or foreign intercourse On the other hand, Europe has had no other ques- ton 10 attend to for more than a hun- dred years than ile great aEd over po@erinR question oi what to do with her products, Through lbe intsrpoSi. iion of the prowesS and the influence which q great army and a grand navy exercises upon the minds of every other nation, they have succeeded in policy adopted more than hundred years ago, which has its essence and object ID the words manufacture, export, and sell 10 the people of other nations. With tbis sole object in view, and with determination and strength of character and intelli- gence hehind the motive almost un- eqaaled m any otber nation, tbc Brit, ish Empire has been able to push its researches, its discoveries, ifs con quests, and its international inter- course among more nations of the earth than has come 10 the ports CT all other nations combined.
