Visitors Were Too Expensive.

there" replied the firms representative,
''but the rules are very strict. Really,
there is nothing worth looking at, and
there are no trade secrets there. The
reason why the firm inteTdicts visitors
is because the presence Of strangers in
the room causes every sewing woman TO
look up and take her attention off her
work from one to five minutes. Sup

two minutes. With $50 women that
means loss to the firm of 800 minutes,

FOR THE VETERANS.
Advantage of Five Points Granted
in Examinations.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Acting Sec
rotary Spauiding has amended the rules
governing examinations for promotions
in the treasury department in an i'm
portant particular. The changes give
to each honorably discharged Union
soldier or sailor five points out of the
100 to start with. The minimum num-
Der of marks to secure a promotion III
an examination before the treasury de-
partment examination board is seventy
five. With the five points given the
soldier and sailor by this amended rule
he will have to secure only seventy to
insure his promotion. This discrimina-
ton is regarded as an important one,
and gives great satisfaction in G.. A. r.
circles.

USES OF WOOD.

One of the feats the rustlerS in North
Dakota sometimes perform for distin-
guished visitors in harvest time is to
show the parties the golden grain in the
field, then cut it. convert it iuto flour,
and in brief further space invite them
to partake of the warm buiscuit made
from the grain seen waving in the har-
vest. 1t is not remembered precisely
how many minutes the shortest record
has been for the transformation, but
they are not enough 10 weary the appe-
tite. The Philadelphia Record relates
that process has been devised called
the bisulphite, by which certain kinds
of wood can be converted into cloth.
The paper used by that sheet is made
from wood. and it recently gave an ex-
hibition on the Dakota line by trans
forming the standing trees in the forests
into printed sheets in twenty-five
hours. But this man who did
the clothing act, mot being a news
paper man, did not have working days
of twenty-five hours. His feat was per-
formed in eleven hours. In that time
he was incaSed in the handsome pants
made of the wood. A mode of domestic
cruelty prompted the expedition, but it
was an achievement to be marveled at.
Its verify is established by photograph
ic pictures. On the first the man is
seen in the forest welding the axe Zero
ciously near the basement of the tree.
In the final scene he is visible by the
stump, working his lower limbs into the
tailor-built trousers made from the tree.
Wood is used in making paper, and pa
per is converted into car wheels and
timber for building. Its use in cloth
Ing is not so familiar, but its possibility
may be easily conceded. Still, there
need be little apprehension that wool
and cotton Will be displaced by the
cheaper article. More protection would
save the wool in any event.

to emphasize the fact that there is no

work among the aspirants. The obser-
walton Of this fact will go far to per-
suade Mr.. BLAINE that his health is
insufficient, or that his ambition has
abated. 1t would be great surprise
to the considerable observer if he should
allow his name to be used.

AN UNSETTLED POLICY.

Having settled down to the comforta-
BILE and complacent conclusion that the
business interests" and ''multitudes"
have accepted the MCKINLEY act as the
''settled policy of the country" and
adjusted their business to it," and that
therefore the shelter Of the trusts and
monopolies under which they rob the
people should not be disturbed, the Pho
neer Prees proceeds to show that some
business interests have not accepted it
as final. Instead of checking imports
of wool, as expected, they are largely
increased. Instead of increasing the
price of native wool, prices have fallen.
The Ohio Republicans demanded an
increase of the duty to equal that

ufacturer. 1t doesn't look as if this
business interest" had accepted the act
as final, or that it proposed to adjust its
business to the new law. Then there
are the tin plate men, who have discov-
cred that, what with the price of rolled
plate and the tariff on pig tin, the for
eign plate can be sold here, duty paid,
tor about two cents pound less than it
can be made here, and they are unhappy
and refuse to adjust their. business to
present rates. With the wool growers
and tin plate men on the one hand, and
every Democrat and Alliance man on
the other, saying that they have not ac-
cepted and will not accept the act as
the settled policy of the country, and
the Pioneer Press continuing to furnish
facts for their reasons, we fear that the
complacency of our contemporary will
get very uncomfortable shaking up
within few months.
