the Morning sheet shows Its Hand
I'm Opposition 90 Proper Protection
OF Human Life and Property.
What influence has been brought to
bear upon the morning sheet to lead it to
oppose the gates at the railway crossings
in Rock Island, as suggested by the AR
Gus. and which the council has prac.
ticaly decided to order, is matter of
mystery to some, though not to all. 1t

spirit of mulishness and contrariness that
induced it to fight the Holmes syndicate

ment improvements and the street paw
ing, simply because the ARGUS happened
to be on the other side-the side of adj
vsncement aud public enterprise--or
whether the powers that in a large meas
ure dictated its course IN times past,
guides its policy now.
But let il be said TO the wisdom and
considerable spirit of the council. the gates
are to be provided-not only at Twenty.
fourth street, but st Eighteenth, and the
members of the municipal body, no
doubt, are too we'll aware of the
Unions tactics to change their
sentiment now. the aldermen really
have expected opposition from this
source. They have had il to face in
every enterprise they have by the pow,
era vested in them given their sanction
and approval. They would expect to
see 1t and to meet it il they were to en-.
courage the Twenty fourth street Via
duct or any other enterprise IN the inter-
ests Of public safety and the promotion
of public welfare.
The Union ridicules the idea OF gates
and alludes to them as "a peculiar device
OF our dear Boston uucles." We don't
know that this attempted sarcastic fling
is ANYTHING against the gates. any more
than 1t would be to attribute them to the
enterprising thought Of some nearer
relatives in Chicago. where there are
perhaps more OF them than in Boston.
and where there is not street crossed
by railroad tracks that is not protected
by them. The same is true of smaller
cities in Illinois al along the line of the
great roads leading towards the me-
tropolis of the west, and il would not be
surprising il other cities in the west. be-
sides 'our dear Boston uncles," enjoy
the convenience. 'Our relatives in Kan
sss' may not yet have the benefits OF this
evidence Of civilization. bS Rock Island
will have il, nevertheless.
The device is of such a nature that no
possible opposition to it could be con,
ceived except prompted by pure selfish
interests OF an unreasonably stubborn dis.
position. The gates will cost the city
nothing; they will do no harm if they do
no good, and they will do good as Afford

may interfere with teams driving off the

council had no particular thought Of the

CURIOUS HORSE TRADE.

How Wide Awake Stranger Deceived a
Michigan Livery Man.
Speaking of horse-trading reminds
me of curious trade | was mixed up
in a couple of years ago in Michigan.
l was in the livery business and a
stranger brought in nice-looking
horse which he offered me for mere
song. The price seemed so low that l
fell into the trap, but soon discovered
that owned an animal that no spur in
the State could goad into so much as q
trot. traded him off to doctor who
prided himself on being able to ride
any horse that could be saddled.
spread the report that the animal was
a holy terror, and that no man had
ever managed to ride him. The report
reached the doctors ears, as Iexpected
it would, and he soon made a bet that he
could ride the horse The parties to the
wager came round, and, as the doctor
liked the looks of the brute. | soon
persuaded him to trade a very decent
driving horse for it. l warned the
doctor against riding the horse through
the streets, and he said he would try
it on quiet road. Well, he won the
bet and the next day asked me if l
would trade back if he gave me $40 to
boot. agreed, and he told me had
better send wagon to his place, for
the alleged bucker could never walk
back. He paid the money over and
took away his horse. When l sent for
the animal which had caused all the
sport found l had traded for Il dead
horse, which / had the privilege of
burying. The doctor had felt SO sore
about the trade the previous evening
that he had shot the alleged high-spir.
tied brute the minute he had succeeded
in dragging it to his own stable.-A

UNBORN INDUSTRIES.

Though They May Never See the Light
Yet They Must BE Protected.
The demand for protec ton to infant
industries has had greater growth
than the industries themselves. With.
in the last year Or two THUS protection
has been asked for infants yet unborn.
This was noted last year in the dis
cussion of the Mills bill, when the
placing of tin plate on the free list
was vigorously opposed. It was
argued by the friends of the bill that
there was no tin plate manufactured
in this country, aud that the Govern
ment did not need the revenue; the re-
ply was that there was a fellow some
where in the United States who con-
templated establishin G a mandatory
to make tin plate within few years
if he could see his way clear in maxi
ing it pay; and, for the protection of
this industry unborn, We are paying a
tariff of one cent a pound on the ma
terial of many articles of universal
use.
1t seems we are not paying enough
tax on this article of prime necessity.
The Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association, while admitting that
our importations of iron and steel are
about as small as they have ever been,
refers mournfully to the fact that we
are importing increased quantities of
tin plates from Great Britain, and
calls for such an increase in the duty
as will enable this country to supply
its own tin plates.
As q specimen of the arrogance of
protection. this demand is worth re-
Numbering. 1t is nothing to this IA
vored interest that the cost of the la
borer's dinner pail shall be doubled,
provided a market be produced for
a few tons more of iron. The iron
monger is beside himself; much pro-
lection has made him mad Louis

When using jet-condenser let the
engine make three or four revolutions
before opening the injection valve, and
then open it gradually, letting the en-
gine make several more revolutions
before it is opened to the full amount
required.
Open the main stop-valve before you
start the fires under the boilers.
When starting fires don't forget to
close the gauge-cocks and safety-valve
as soon as steam begins to form,
An old Turkish towel cut in two
lengthwise is better than cotton-waste
for cleaning brass work.
Always connect your steam valves
in such a manner that the valve closes
against the constant steam pressure.
Turpentine well-mixed with black
varnish makes a good coating for iron
smoke-pipes.
Ordinary lubricating oils are not
suitable for use in preventing rust
You can make a hole through glass
by covering it with a thin coating of
wax-by warming the glass and
spreading the wax on it, scrape off the
wax where you want the hole, and
drop a little fluoric acid on the spot
with wire. The acid will cut a hole
through the glass, and you can shape
the hole with copper wire covered
with oil and rotten-stoue.
A mixture of one ounce of sulphato
of copper, one-quarter of an ounce Of
alum, half teaspoonful of powdered
salt one gill of vinegar and twenty
drops of nitric acid will make hole in
steel that is too hard to cut or file
easily. Also if applied to steel and
washed off quickly it will give tho
metal beautiful frosted appearance.
1t is a fact that thirty -tive cubic feet
of sea-watcr is equal in weight to
thirty-siX feet of fresh water, the
weight being one ton (2,240 pounds).

TOUGH ON DUDLEY.
The Great Indiana Corruptionist Repudi
ated by His Friend Harrison.

The Great Indiana Corruptionist Repudi
ated by His Friend Harrison.
The attack on President Harrison by
w. W. Dudley will strengthen the
President with all respectable people.
1t was by Mr.. Harrison's association
with such men as Dudley, Blaine,
Quay. Elkins and others of that class
that he first laid himself open to sus-
picions which ought never to attach
to a President of the United States.
That he is now attempting to redeem
himself from this association, at least
in Dudley's case, appears plainly from
the letter written by that notorious
corruptionist to S. Van Pelt. OF Ander-
son, Ind. Mr.. Harrison, Dudley
writes, 'has lost his backbon and is
too cowardly to be seen consulting
with me for the simple reason that the
copperheads and rebels of Indiana
have trumped up a lot of charges
against me. He seems entirely OBJ
livious to the fact that it was through
my efforts that Indiana was saved to
him."
1t will be greatly to Mr. Harrison $
credit if he remains thus oblivious.
Dudley is no more responsible, per-
haps, for the frauds in Indiana than
Quay or Clarkson, who co-operated
with him in carrying them out, but he
alone was detected. He exposed him
self and the frauds in letter over his
own signature; and though the frauds
were contaminated; though through
them Indiana was carried for Harrison,
he, as President. would be guilty of the
grossest indecency in rewarding a man
who not only gave him his seat by
fraud, but did it in such way as to
put the stigma of fraud upon it.
In word, Dudley was caught So
also was Blaine, whom Mr.. Harrison
at once made Secretary of State, but
be could no more avoid doing this
than he could avoid appointing Win
dom. Wanamaker, Proctor and Clark
son. 1t is necessary, however, to draw
the line somewhere, and the inference
from Dudley's latest letter that he has
drawn it at Dudley is extremely graft
flying to that by no means inconsidera-
bic class of people who believe that
the President of the United States
should have a sense of decency.-Chi-
cagO Herald.

Senators Must Be Protected.

Another lesson in protection" Sem
ltor Mcmillan, of Michigan, has a
large establishment for the construc-
ton Of freight cars at Detroit. A sug-
gestion comes from influential quar-
ters at Washington that import duty
should be charged on Canadian-built
freight cars coming into this country
over Canadian railroads. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 3. 600 such cars in
Use on our railroads. Senator Nc
MILAN wants them sent back and re-
placed with cars from his shops.
Should he succeed in his protection"
designs Canada will, doubtless, levy
luty on American built cars, and the
commerce between the two countries
will be again obstructed. Great is
