SCHOOL LAW DID 1T,

SENATOR sPOoNER'S IDEA OF THE
ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12.-When
asked about the election i'll Wiscon-
sin to-day Senator Spooner said !:
~ don't think there was a particle of
personality in the campaign. The
attitude in which we were placed was
not one to draw the greatest number
of votes in Wisconsin. With 70 per
cent. Of the population foreign born
there was a moral certainty that no
party could win that did not surren-
der conditionally the principle that
the state should require it's citizens
to know how to read and write the
English language. 1t was altogether
a local issue and the tariff and the
silver law had nothing to do with the
result. If the school issue had not
been up we should have won big
victory. The elections elsewhere were
probably turned by the tariff. I
think it most likely congress will modi-
fly particular parts OF the Mckinley
law next session and bring about i'm
portant reductions.
''Do [ think the election bill will be
passed? | can't predict. only know
some sort of bill ought to be passed.
/ am satisfied the people will approve
President Harrison's administration
and we shall elect our man in 1892.
But that date is too far off to talk
about candidates"
The senator never looked better or
wore a happier smile. He seems to
feel as if load had been taken off his
shoulders, and his heart was as light
as q boys. When asked if he was 60
ing on the bench he said he had not
thought of it, but he had turned his
mind to the idea of practicing law
and thought he could do very we'll
without any special provision by
Uncle Sam for his future mainten-
ance.
Senator Spooner, in company with
Secretary Rusk, called at the White
house this morning and spent a pleas
ant half hour describing the cyclone
to the president. If anything was
said about the Supreme court ap-
pointment nobody but the president
and his callers are the wiser Not
one word on the subject could be clio
tied from the latter. Tonight Sena-
tor Spooner went to New York to re-
main several days. He said this at
ternoon that he thought his successor
would be Col. Villas, notwithstanding
the numerous other candidates and
their popularity. The election of Col
Villas was only what his active ser
vice required for him of his party.

The Democrats are becoming
alarmed at the declaration of Mills,
of Texas, that he is candidate for

know when they remember that Mills
favors an income tax. He undoubt-

The Tin-PIate Fiction.

The cartoon of an esteemed Demo-
cratic contemporary yesterday rep
resented person under the shelter of
tin can, which was marked comfy \
a cent dearer on account of the new
tariff" Tin ware ought not TO be
half cent or any fraction of cent
dearer on account of the new tariff.
The new tariff has not yet added a
cent of duty to tin-plates or to tin Of
any kind. The increased duty on tin
plate does not take effect till July,
1891. It is plain that if tin-plate is
to undergo an immediate increase of
price on account of an increased duty
which does not 60 into effect until
July, then sugar ought to undergo an
immediate decrease of price on &C
count of q decreased duty which goes
into effect as early as March next.
But the free-trade organs are not ad-
vocating a decrease of price in sugar.
1t is curious to note the steadfast-
ness and unanimity with which the
Democratic press encourages the alien
importers ring to raise prices. It
never urges q decreasein price on that
great majority Of articles made free,
or subject to lower duties, by the new
bill, but it does necessarily and vigor-
ously urge an increase of prices on the
minority of articles made subject to
increased duties. One would think
that a press and party so eternally
mouthy of it's love for "the poor
workman" would protest against any
increase in the prices Of what he has
to buy, would urge the very slight in
crease of duty on each single article
as reason for maintenance of old
prices. But it is not so. The Demo
cratic press could not be more jealous
for an increase in the prices of mer-
chandise if it were made partner in
the alien importers ring, or if it's pay
from that ring were proportional to
the profits made by it.
But to revert to tin-plate. There
may be slight increase in the prices
of tin ware on and after July, 1891.
But it will be of short duration, or it
may be that there will be no increase
at all. The factors working against
increase of prices are three. The tin
ore of the Black Hills is richer, by
fourteen times, in pure metal than
that of Europe; the producing power
of the American workman is greater
than Of the European workman: the
centers of distributions VIII be much
nearer to the departments demand
ing supplies. In short, that will hap
pen in the tin-plate industry which
happened in the steel rail industry,
there will be vast production of ma
terial, and therefore vast competition
for the sale of products 1t is quite
probable that two years hence Amer
ican-made tin ware will be selling at
half the present cost of imported
goods.-Chicdgo Intey Ocean.

Enough in its hand is clutched a striped top,
And as it hurries through the alien town,

No hint Of home or mother can they gain.

When it was first exhibited at the New
York Academy of Sciences, few years
ago, murmu of admiration was
heard, which was succeeded by re-
peated applause. Some of the skep.
teal members started the rumor that
the Academy had been mystifed by a
clever ventrileauist, and repeated ex-
periments we're required to convince
these incrsdulous persons that no chi

Edison's birthplace is Milan, Ohio.
While yet boy in his teens, telegraphy
took great hold upon him, and having
one day snatched station-master's
child from in front of an approaching
train, the grateful father taught him
Biography, and from that time he be-
came systematic student. His ready
ingenuity suggested all sorts of adapt
Ctions. One day the ice jam broke the
cable between Port Huron and Sarnia
ION the Canada side) the river at that
point being mile and half in width,
all communication by telegraph was
cut off. Young Edison seized the
valve of an engine that controls the
whistle, which he footed into long and
short notes, like the dots and dashes in
telegraphy. Hello, Sarnia, ID vc-
get me?" he footed; no answer, "Esi-
10, Sarnia, do you hear what j say 2"
A third and fourth time the message
was sent over, and finally came the an
swer from an engine on the other ide {:
the connection had been made, and
communication easily carried on until
the cable was repaired.
Edison's many inventions are legion,
but his photograph, megaphone the
quad1uplex and duplex systems of tel
egraphy, his telephone which alone
netted him over one hundred thousand
dollars-the electric railway and in
candescent electric light, are but a few
of the best known of his most wonder
full and valuable inventions.

Going the Wrong Way.

Ex-Governor Andrew Shuman en-
tered the smoking car on Chicago and
Northwestern train the other afternoon,
says the Chicago Tribune, and took a
seat facing toward the engine. The seat
ahead of him was turned over. Mr..
Shuman was smoking good cigar and
had an evening paper in his hand. AS
he settled back an Irishmau with a
clay pipe in his mouth, entered the car.
His breath was redolent with bad
whisky and red eye tobacco.
Good ayenin', Misther Shuman,"
said the Irishman, as he sat down on
the seat opposite.
"How are you, Pat?" said Mr. Shu-
man.
"Noicely, tank you, was the reply
Pat had probably hoed the garden
for Governor Shuman at some time,
and he was presuming on old acquaint-
ance. He leaned over, blew a little
bad breath and worse tobacco smoke
in Governor Shuman's face, and
asked
slows things in Evanston, sor?"
"Very nicely" replied Governor
Shuman, trying to open the window to
get breath of fresh air.
Pat leaned over again and allowed
another Whit of red eye to circulate
around Governor Shuman's head as he
said:
"Oi am glad to hear it, sor. Now,
Old like to AK YOU"
But Governor Shuman was des-
perate.
"Where are you going, Pat?" he
asked abruptly.
Evanston, sor, was the reply.
Evanston !" exclaimed Governor
Shuman. "Why, you're going the
wrong way. Can't you see you're faced
tow ard Chicago? Turn the seat over. y
The Irishman gave start, turned
around and looked toward the engine,
and then glanced out of the window.
"Be hivens, you're roight!" he ex-
claimed. "Oi'm faced the wrong way.
Thank you Misther Shuman."
He turned his seat over and Cover
nor Shuman buried his head in his
paper and enjoyed the rest of the trip.
In fact he was seen to smile once OF
! twice.
