Those Big Guns.

The controversy over big guns and
big warships in Great Britain is still
unsettled and the naval experts are
at loggerheads as to the real value of
the huge fighting ironclads which have
cost so much money; and which, it is
pointed out, might easily be destroyed
by a little dynamite cruiser like the
Vesuvius. 1t costs $1,000 to fire one of
the 1l0-tOn guns of the British battle
ship Victoria, and the full charge of
powder is never used because of the
admitted risk of injnry to the big guns.
Such a ship would evidently be more
dangerous to the crew than to the
enemy. And after an expenditure by
the British government of millions for
these naval monsters, it sounds
strangely to hear Lord Armstrong
quoted as saying the other day: "A
monster gun is incidental to monster
irOnclad, and have never advocated
either one or the other"

A Substitute for Glass.

A new substitute for glass in the
form of varnish covered wire cloth is
being used where glass will not stand
the vibration or other conditions. The
transparent wire-wove roofing, which
is translucent, plant as leather and
unbreakable, has for its basis a web of
hne iron wire, with warp and weft
threads about One-twelfth of an inch
apart. This netting is covered on both
sides with a thick translucent varnish
containing large percentage of lin
seed oil. The process of manufacture
is conducted by dipping the sheets into
deep tanks containing the composition
until the required thickness is OBJ
tanned the sheets are then dried in a
heated chamber, and after being stored
for some time until thoroughly set, are
ready for use. Any color can be OBJ
tanned from amber to pale brown.
The new material readily adapts itself
to curves or angles in roofing, and is
unaffected by steam, the heat of the
sun, frost, hail, rain, or any atmos-
pheric changes. Being a non-conduc-
tor, buildings where it is used remain
cooler in summer and warmer in win
ter than with glass.

Reaction Against Prohibition.

The reaction against Prohibition is
one of the significant features of the
recent elections. Where it exists pub
lie dissatisfaction with it costs the
party in power some loss of votes.
Where it does not exist Opposition to
candidates who are supposed to favor
It has in several instances helped the
Democrats. And in nearly all the
States where returns give anv indica-
ton ofthe public temper the Prohibi-
tion vote has greatly diminished. In
New Jersey it fell off about one-half:
in Ohio it has apparently decreased
materially; in Iowa dissatisfaction
with the results of Prohibition was so
potent that Mr.. Clarkson considered it
the main cause of Republican losses,
and in New York the returns at pres
ent indicate a loss of one-third to one
half in the Prohibition vote.-Ne,O

Paris Style for the Hair.
IT Is ALMOST THE FASHION OF A

The coming styles are for abundance

ment. This fact has given fresh hone
Tor the future to professional hair

Mrs. Cleveland when she was in the

The styles of Paris during the last

days of Louis XIV and XIV"
An ancient print of those davs was
produced, and, being compared with
pattern plates just received from the
French capital, were shown to be
almost identically the same.
This STYLE" she continued, brings

Unless the hogs that are being fed
on corn are kept warm, a portion OF
the corn will be wasted in supplying
heat for the protection of the body.
The more comfortable the hog the
faster it will fatten. When the cold
season opens the slop will be more
beneficial if given warm. Half frozen
slop chills the hogs, and causes a loss
of food from other sources.

THE REvERsEs AND THEIR CAUSE.

THE REVERsEs AND THEIR CAUSE.
Philadelphia Press.
We think these conclusions will be
clear to every candid mind First. the
Republicans, while defeated or reduc
ed IN various states, lose nothing sub
stantial or vital-nOthing that really
lmpairs their present power or shakes
their future hope. Second, the re-
verses are in their nature Temporary
and not permanent. Third, they are
due entirely to local and individual
causes. Fourth, they do not signify
any revulsion or detection from Re
publicanism. Fifth, they do not mean
that there Is any dissatisfaction with the
Administration. In word, if last
years battle were TO be fought over
again in these selfsame states we
should again have last years victory.
Review the field and mark the truth
of all these points. In the first place.
the losses, unwelcome as they are. are
purely local. We lose no Senator. no
Congressman, no pillar of national
power So far as broad national con-
sequences are concerned, we lose
nothing that we held. We NAV not
gain the Senator in Ohio-but we
didn't have him. We do not break
the Solid South in Virgiuia-but there
was no break before. We lament the
defeat of the gallant Foraker and the
loss of the Governor in Iowa; but
Foraker was defeated in 1882, Iowa has
trembled on the edge two or three
times, and still Ohio and Iowa ALWAYS
stood erect when the real fight came.
These reverses are temporary be-
cause they are due wholly to local and
transient causes. 1t is unfortunately
true that Governor FOraker's honest
enforcement of the law against the sale
of liquor on Sunday had great deal
to do with the defeat of his party. In
Cincinnati the sale of beer on Sunday
was regarded as a right by the brew
ers, and they furnished large sums of
money and carried the Germans over
to the Democrats to secure the repeal
of this wholesome statute. Hamilton
County, which includes Cincinnati.
gave Foraker 1000 plurality in 1887.
while this year it gave 1000 the other
way. This, Of itself, went good ways
toward deciding the result.
1ue iowa FARMERS are thorough be-
levers in the efficacy of state regula-
tion Ofrailroads and other corporations.
Some of the votes given in the Legisla-
ture by Senator Hutchinson, the Re
publican candidate for governor, were
construed by the Farmers Alliance as
opposed to this sO-called Granger idea.
They made an active canvass against
him, under the lead of we'll known
Republicans. The state Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor, although
a Republican, led a movement against
the party candidate for governor, be.
cause he had publicly opposed the
Australian ballot reform system. Then
the Prohibition law has been factor
of considerable importance. A@well-
known Republican ex-governor of the
state voted against his party on that
issue.

In spite of the hostility of European
monarchies, the Paris Exposition,
which closed Wednesday, has been an
industrial and artistic success. The
meagreness of the United States exhib-
it was partially atoned for by the cleo
trial display, which was one of the
chief wonders of the Exposition; while
the exhibit of the wealth and vastness
of the resources of the Argentine
Republic was scarcely less surprising.
The result of the exposition should
stimulate interest in the Worlds Fair
of 1892, in which all the nations of the
world, irrespective of politics, are GER
tain TO be represented.

The massacre of DIR. Peters and the

many schemes of European aggran-

disguised under the veil of phlanthro-
py, THESE efforts at colonization have
been pure commercial enterprises, in
which sentiment had no place; and
even DR.. Peters avOwed intention of
rescuing Emin Pasha was subordinate
to his anxiety to win new territory for
