A Senator's Trick.

Red Wing Argus.
Senator Davis. of this state, is cred
tied with an effort to have the tariff tax
taken off all material entering into the
manufacture of binding Irvine. This is
good stand to take, but if this is done
for the benefit of his farmer constitu.
ency, why does ne not advocate taking
off the duty on other thiags the farmer
uses. such as wool and woolens, tools,
ETC.? Why discriminate? 1t looks like
an attempt on the part of the senator to
pose as the particular friend of the
farmer at time when it can possibly
do no good. 1t will not win.

There is no Day Gained.

In the Tribune correspondent gets
some information which is of general
interest just now. There is no day lost
or gained in going around the world.
What you will lose or gain if you go
around the world is date, not a day.
In travelling westward, each date, COM
monty called day, hides the fact that
for each degree of longitude passed over
you have added four minutes to the
uwenty-four hours. IF at noon, when by
custom you change your date, you find
you have traversed fifteen degrees,
then your "day" has contained
twenty-five hours instead of twenty
four. In going to the eastward the
conditions would be reversed, and
your date called 'dav" would contain
but twenty-three lours. But ii you
and your friend should stand back to
back at New York, and starting at the
same instant, walk straight around the
world, each waking three miles an
hour and never stopping for anything,
you would both meet and pass halfway
in exactly $500 hours, and you would
again meet In New York in exactly
1000 hours. State the time in hours
and you will grasp it immediately
