Mr. Edmuud,. Reciprocity Resolution


Ever since Mr.. Edmunds put in his reso-
luton the other day authorizing the Presi-
dent to remit the duties on sugar in certain
cases the New York Sun has been hilari
ously throwing it up at the Senator that he
is convert to Mr. Blaine's reciprocity
ideas and is thus following meekly in the
footsteps of his dearest foe" The New
York Times, however, turns the tables on
the Sun by showing that Mr. Edmunds in
troduced in 1888, while the Mills bill was
under discussion, a resolution identical in
purpose and terms with the one offered by
him last week. 1t is Mr.. Blaine, therefore,
if either, who is the copyist, and what the
Sun calls Mr.. Blaine's suggestion of recip-
rocity' was borrowed without acknowl-
edgment from the mau whose proffered
hand he refused to take at ex President
Arthur's funeral" Following is the text
of Mr.. Edmunds's resolution
Whenever the President Of the United States
shall be satisfied that sugar producing country
whence sugar il exported into the United States,
has abolished its duties taxes on the impor-
taton of the principal agricultural products of
the United States, he NAV by proclamation di-
minish or wholly remit the duties imposed by
law ON sugar, or any grade of sugar, produced in
and exported directly from, any such country in
to the United States 30 long such products of
the United States are admitted free of duty or
tax into such country, and no longer"

The RniIrond Commi..ion,

The Newport Express, in commenting on
the finding of the railroad commission in a
case in that vicinity says:
THE commission is authorized to report to the
legislature biennally. II has no power whatever
in itself except to draw its salary. II can notify
railroad corporation Of what II thinks wrong
doing, and II the company does not desist tell
the next legislature. 1t can apply to the supreme
court TO compel obedience, and that court can do
as il pleases about the matter. l. looks as II
more power should be given the commission, or
that II should be abolished altogether At pres
ent the question whether the recommendations
OF the commission are Just and reasonable or not
Is LEFT TO the decision of the railroad companies.
1t looks as Il reversal Of the process IL nothing
more, should be made. Let the command Of the
commission be the superior and compel Obedi-
ence at once, leaving the burden of proof Of IN
Justice or unreasOnableness 10 rest with the cor
pOration.N
There is no doubt that the effect of the
railroad commission, with the powers given
it under the law as it now is, has been sal
utary in many ways In point of fact no
one of the railroad companies would care
to ignore any direct recommendation of the
commission because of the effect Of such
action on public opinion but it is true at
the same time that our Vermont law ought
to be so strengthened as to put our commits
sion on the same basis in point of authori-
ty possessed with those of Massachusetts,
and New York-and it ought to be done at
the coming session of the legislature.

Congressman Mckinley of Ohio was
unanimously renominated by the Republ
cans of his district on Tuesday In his
speech on the occasion he showed that the
debt has been reduced $40, 600, 600 under
the present administration, and that the
credit of the government is so high that
the treasury finds the greatest difficulty in
getting back its bonds. Regarding appro
priations, he urges that the growth of the
postal service, and the needed improve
ments for two fiscal years, have required
larger appropriations than heretofore
while the increased appropriations for pen
sions is simply fulflment of Republican
pledges. Other appropriations, he main.
tains, will be less than those of the pre-
vious year. These are things for Vermont
Republicans to bear in mind who have
been listening to Democratic arguments
this week

Mr.. Powderly and the Knights of Labor
tried their best to have the New York Cen
trial railroad strike taken up and extended
over the country, but without success. A
three days session of the supreme council
of the Federation of Railway Employees was
this about, but the only outcome was for
NAL approval of Powderly's course and an
assurance of moral support" of the strik
ers. Put in plain English this meant that
railroad employees who have no grievance
don't care to bite off their own noses to
spite the New York Central railroad com
pany.

SUBSTITUTE FOR FELT.
A New Material of Which Hatters Have
just Gotten Hold.

A New Material of Which Hatters Have
just Gotten Hold.
Many of the cheap derby hats that
will be worn on the streets of st. Louis
this spring will be made of new ma
berial of which the matters have Just got
hold. The stuff is called linters 1t is
the short cotton left on the seed after
the cotton has been ginned by the cot
ton-raiser- He sells his cotton to the
merchant, and the seed to mill that
makes cotton-seed oil. The miller puts
the seed through another gin, specially
made to clean short cotton from the
seed. In an oil mill of small capacity
several bales of cotton are ginned from
the seed in this way. The fiber is
broken and very short, and up to few
months ago the mills sold it to stuff
bedding with. Its price was about half
that of average cotton. The negroes in
the South were the buyers generally,
but occasionally the mills would get a
good, big order from concerns that made
pillows and mattresses. Suddenly
somebody found out that it. could be
made to initiate felt for cheap hats.
The experiment then of making hats of
linters was tried on large scale this
winter by New York factory, and the
hats were sold to retailers for introduce
ton very cheaply. The test showed
that the hats stood wear, and the oil
mills were at once called on by the
manufacturers to make contracts for all
the linters they could get off the cot
ton-seed. Now linters has gone away
up in price, and is only few cents
pound cheaper than cotton. The dis
,overy is likely to have lowering ef-
feet upon the kind of derbies which
have sold for three dollars, and in fact
some merchants are already using the
linters derbies as leaders" for their
other goods, selling them at half the
cost of the felt hat.-St Louis Globe

Giving Shape to the Feet.

Every one, but especially children,
should wear properly-fitting shoes, no
matter how common their material.
They should be neither too large nor
zoo small, and should have low, fat
heels that must be promptly 'righted"
rs soon as they begin to wear to one
side. If the toes of the foot show
sende acy to overlap, they should be
rubbed with the hands once or twice
each day; and if this care be given when
she curving commences it will, as a rule,
prove sufficient to correct any irregu
.arities of this nature. If a nail is way
ward in it's growth, trim it only lightly
It the ailing corner, but fully at the OPP
,osite corner If both corners grow too
ieeply into the flesh. clip them care
'ully and lightly, and then scrape the
enter of the nail from the tip to near
her DOT until it is thin and flexible.
This process seldom fails to correct re-
FACTORY nails-provided, of course, they
re not neglected too long.-N. Y. jour
