In bis opposition 90 the leading clauses OF

we have named, and he is actuated by the
same motives. In his carefully prepared
speech, delivered in the Senate on Monday,
he gave expression 10 his views at very con.
siderable length. lie openly declared that
1.-The West regarded revision Of the tariff as
meaning a reduction OF the tariff whenever
possible, and not increases in tariff i'm

that "the demand OF that section for a

an early and favorable response from

These were strong words TO come from
Senator who has long been distinguished
for his devotion 10 the principles of the Re.
publican party, and who has on more than
one occasion shown his readiness 70 go 70
the most extreme point when the dictates Of
the party management required it. The
Senator has the good sense to recognize that
IL he wishes 10 retain his influence at home
he must conform 10 the growing demand Of
his constituents Tor reduction Of the tariff

SHERMAN AND RECIPROCITY.

Ii Is a very significant sign Of the times
that Senator Sherman, one Of the most con-
sentative members Of the Republican party,
aud one Of its most cautious leaders, should
have given notice in the Senate on Wednes-
day that he would, at the proper time, i'll
troduce an amendment TO the Tariff bill
providing for free coal from Canada on con-
dtion that the latter shall admit American
coal free.
The action of the Senator WAS so totally
unexpected, and apparently so opposed TO
the whole tenor OF his political career in
prising TO find it referred to as hay-
ing had its origin in jocular rather
than in serious spirit. 1t is stated,
but on what ground and for what reason it
is not known, that sherman wishes TO bring
Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity ideas into ridicule,
but this seems TO be wholly improbable, as
his proposition looked at in itself commends
itself to the consideration Of all, as far as it
goes. That the reciprocity should be con-
fined 10 coal is open to question, but certain
~ dS ldI AZ cOdl aunt II CoHccIitU iht
beneficial character Of the proposition is
obvious.
.. The explanation Of the Senator's action is
10 he found in the drift Of public sentiment
Blaine observed the change many months
ago, and with his usual promptness took
advantage Of it. Although Edmunds was
the iirst leading siiepublican 10 recon.
mend the plan Of reciprocity treaties, yet
the Secretary of state now stands promi-
nently forward before the country as the
principal exponent Of the general idea
That idea after all is but a winking, not at
free trade so much as at freer trade. 1t is
long step towards that reduction OF the
tariff which the Democratic party has SO
ably and SO persistenly urged upon the at
tention OF the country from the hour that
Cleveland enumerated his famous message
10 Congress on the same subject.

MEASURING THE DEPTHS.
Preliminary Soundings for the Cape Hat
teras Lighthouse.

J. +. Anderson. Of Jersey City, the en-
ginecr who has been awarded the contract
for building the half-a-milli On-dollar light
house OFF Cape Hatteras, will start in a few
days for that tempestuOus region TO take his
preliminary sOundings and arrange for the
building of his great steel caissOn. The
terms Of the contract, signed and approved,
reached MIR. Anderson from Washington
only few days ago.
lie will go to the OuSr Diamond ShOal in
strongly-built sea-going tug. and will
steam about the proposed location until a
comparatively clear day arrives, when he
Will endeayOr TO gCt bottom and thereby
determine the most important question of
the construction, namely, the depth TO
which the calssOn must be sunk. In order
to do this, Mr.. Anderson proposes
10 sink hollow iron pipe, four
inches in diameter, containing another
cylinder two inches in diameter
running its entire length. Within che inner
pipe there will De placed a powerful et led by
pump on the tug, capable Of supplying a
pressure of 100 pounds 10 the square inch
When the jet comes In contact with the
sandy Bottom or shOal its force will tend to
drive the distractions aside, the cylinder
mean while sinking until something like a
firm foundation is reached. If clay is found,
as Mr.. Anderson seems to think il will be.
then and there the depth Of the pipe will be
measured, and the objective point Of the
caissOn fixed.
The terms Of the contract call for depth
of l25 feet for the caiss0n, provided no firm
foundation is found at shallOwer depth. In
the latter event, obviously, the contractors
will be enabled 10 save money on their job
II is extremely, doubtful, however, if a firm
foundation can be found at any accessible
depth, for the sands Of the Outer Diamond
Sboal shift continually, and the effect has
been, il is said, % bury u permanent foun-
dalton at too great depth 10 be reached by
so cumbersome an object as steel caisson
weighing hundreds of tons.
Mr.. Anderson is an Optimist, however,
who believes that none Of natures impedi-
ments can permanently Withstand the ef-
forts of engineering skill. He not orly ex-
presses the belief that he will reach bottom
with his cylinder, but he believes that the
sinking Of the caisson and the subsequent
erection Of A permanent lighthouse will be
matters of comparative ease. He says,
moreover. that the building of the Outer
Diamond shOal lighthouse is likely to he
the precedent for a long line of similar
structures in less prominent, but analogous,
locations.-New York Times.
