CONVICTS REVOLT.

Two Hundred Throw Down Their Toos
and Defy the Of'icers-They Want More
Food and Tobacco and Less Favoritisn.
The convicts in the jute mills at San
Quenton, Cal, struck SATURDAY.
Nearly two hundred prisoners threw
down their tools and defied the officers
to make them work. The convicts de-
manded that they he given more and
better food, more tobacco and they
wanted less favoritism shown. They
also demanded to be taken before the
directors of the prison, where they
might state their case. The convicts
made a good stand, but the guards
were quickly summoned and every
avenue of escape was covered whils
armed men filled the doors of the tut,
mill where the insurrection started.
The convicts resumed work after OBJ
tanning permission to appoint a com
mittee of five to appear before the
prison directors. After listening to the
complaints from the committee, tho
prison directors informed the men tha;
the food was good enough, and the next
time there was an outbreak it would be
punished by solitary confinement This
is the second strike at the prison during
a week, the convicts having stopped
work last Wednesday to enforce Their
demand for better food.

| Flourishing Monopoly-An Object Les
son Worthy of Great Study.
The National Cordage Co. or twiue
trust, which threatened last year to
shut up ii its protection were lowered
shows no signs of being hurt by the
lower duty on twine Not long ago it
got possession of all the cordage fac
tories in Canada, and now it has bought

strongest competitor of the trust,
These evidences of prosperity are
exhibited, notwithstanding the fact
that the lower duty on twine has com.
PEELED the trust to charge the farmers
much lower prices for twine this wear
than last year.
This is an object lesson which ought
nos to be lost sight of when the taIitf
again comes up forrevision and reform.
AT such times manufacturers flock to
Washington and fill the air of the com
mittee rooms with dolelul tales of ruin
and disaster which are sure to follow if
duties are lowered ever so little Last
year the cordage trust tried this old
trick when the duty on binder twinc
was about to be reduced little. But.
thanks to the action of fifteen north
western republican senator's in voting
with the democrats, the duty on twine
was put much lower than the trihing
reduction which made the trast cry ruin
aud destruction
What has followed? Any signs that
The twine trust is going to close up?
Not so. On the contrary it goes on
buving up its rivals at the same time
that the reduced protective duty forces
it to sell twine at lower prices 1t may
not be earning the 40 per cent. divi-
dends now that Senator Davis, Of Min.

but it can live and thrive on even the

able to save from the wicked demo-

threatens to die if duties are lowered
nobody need be frightened. 1t is an

Deadly Deyice.

,hicago paper says: The officers
and soldiers at the Fort Sheridan range
witnessed the testing of an automatic
repeating rifle that bids fair to revolu.
tlonize both naval and land warfare.
The gun is the invention of DR.. H. A..
Pitcher, of Neillsville, Wis. 1t becomes
automatic by the utilization of the gas
produced by the combustion of the first
cartridge fired. The gas escapes into a
chamber and acts on a piston that is
set against spiral spring the recoil of
which propele the piston back against
rod that sets the mechanism of the
gun i'll motion by which the empty
cartridge is removed and replaced by a
loaded one, also cooking the gun This
is done with so much rapidity that
by pressing against the trigger the gun
will discharge the nine cartridges that
are required to fiji the magazine, in
two seconds The best record was
eight shots in five seconds. Lieut.. In
gersoll is, however, enthusiastic in his
of the mechanism of the
gun and is satisfied that it will do all it
is claimed to, 1t is intended to apply
the principle to heavy guns for use in
naval warfare in propelling torpedoes
and as machine gun.

SENTIMENTAL TRADE,

People VIII Not Pay Higher Prices mt
Home Than They VIII Abroad Merely to
Crafty Local Pride.
The attempt to get people to buy an
article for the sentimental reason that
it was made in their town, or state,
or eyen in the United States, always
breaks down in the end. They will
perhaps buy at first with much en-
thusiasm, led on by local pride, but at
last the moving principle of all trade
will assert itself and they will buy
where they can get the best for their
money.
An interesting illustration of this is
found in the following case: Last year
there was big agitation down south
about the use of jute for bagging while
bagging made from cotton was said to
answer the purpose and would assist
materially in using up the cotton crop,
A procession of farmers marched into
a southern city with flags flying and
banners, vowing allegiance to cotton
bagging' They went iu body to the
leading store in the city and, with much
parade, purchased supplies of cotton
bagging to cover thdir cotton, and then
marched out of town again to the tune
of Dixie
"The proprietor of the store was much
surprised few nights afterward to
have the leader OF the farmers cotton
bagging parade drive up to his store
after nightfall and, after much blank
blanketing, purchase a big supply of
jute bagging and then implore the store
keeper to keep the transaction dead
secret. Practical experience showed
bin that jute was the best fiber for his
even if it were a foreign prod
