THE recent Indian troubles probably
cause the Secretary of the Interior to
think the Indians should be made to
work. Thursday, in letter addressed
to Congress, he recommend the es-
tablishment of an agricultural training
school.
SECRETARY WINDOWS death will be
specially deplored by the newspaper
men. He was accessible to them at all
times, and seemed to take pleasure in
assisting in their work. He believed
the public had right to know what
the executive departments were doing,
and he never declined a reasonable re-
quest for information concerning the
business of the Treasury. The news
paper men, therefore, naturally regard
ed him as good friend, and will al
ways cherish his memory.
ONE of the prominent delegates to the
approaching National Council of Wom-
en- in Washington will be Mrs. Char
lotte Emerson Brown, cousin of Ralph
Waldo Emerson. Mrs. Brown is cler-
gyman's wife and is an accomplished
linguist. speaking five or six languages
luently.
SENATOR VEST and Senator Voorhees,,
on the Democratic side, and Senators
Henderson and Paddock, on the Re-
publican side, are greatly addicted to tell

ones but they never venture TO spring
these yarns on the statesmen in the
course of the discussions in the Senate.

The French Duty on Dried Apples.

France is, with the exception of Ger
many, the largest buyer of American
dried apples During the fiscal year
1889 our exports of dried apples to
France reached S,522, 900 pounds. The
present duty on this fruit is francs
per kilo (53 cents per 100 pounds); but
the new duty, as proposed by the COM
mission now at work on the French
tariff, will be francs as the minimum
and francs as the maximum duty.
The higher duty which is equal to
about so cents per 100 pounds, will almost
certainly be collected on our dried ap-
pies, as the higher duties in the French
tariff are aimed at the products of those
countries which levy duties injurious to
French industries. The great irritation
in France over the Mckinley law makes
it practically certain that our products
will be taxed by France at the highest
legal rate. In that case our farmers
will not sell S,5s2,0O0 pounds OF dried
apples 10 that country, This is Of itself
but small matter; but It is only IN ex-
ample of the spirit that the Mckinley
law is sturing up in foreign countries
against us in the direction Of driving
our products out Of their markets,

A SHODDY MILL FAILS.

Great Growth of the Shoddy Business
While Wooden Manufacturing Languishes
Why the Shoddy Men Wanted the Nc
Kinley Law.
A shoddy mill in Massachusetts, has
lust closed its doors as the result of the
Mckinley law. 1t ran in kind of
shoddy which is imported entirely; and
as the Mckinley duty on this particular
kind is 80 cents a pound-or equal to
800 per cent the manufacturer found
it impossible to pay this enormous duty.
The owner of this particular mill was
evidently not one of the shoddy men
who, as was reported in the trade jour
nails last summer, were clamoring for
the passage of the Mckinley bill.
These were the manufacturers who use
American-made shoddy; and their
anxiety for the passage of the McKin-
ley bill was caused by their knowledge
that under it the cost of woolen cloth
ing would be increased and the use of
shoddy clothing would be promoted.
The use of shoddy has extended enor-
mously during recent years. According
to the statistics of the tenth census,
1850, the total amount of raw material
consumed in the manufacture of woolen
goods was as follows:

Shots in Portugal,
By Reading the Proclamation Of the

Perfect quiet reigned in Oporto,
Sunday. Government reinforccmenk
have arrived from all parts of the coun-
try. Three hundred civilians and sol
diers were arrested Sunday. All the
Republican clubs have been closed, and
all of the Republican newspapers have
been seized by the Government. The
front of the Town Hall and several
buildings in other streets, where con-
flicts took place Saturday, are much
damaged and battered. The King 8
portrait, which hung in the Town
Hall, was destroyed by the
rebellious soldiers who made the build.
ing their stronghold. Several of tie
soldiers who were wounded in the con-
fiict died Sunday. Most of the insur-
gents who surrendered themselves were
conveyed aboard man-ofwar. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 shots from rifles
and machine guns were fired during the
iightiilg. Several more insurgents Sum
day submitted to the authorities.
The police have arrested an actor
named Verbal, who road the insur-
gents proclamation Of the Portuguese
republic from a balcony of the town hall.
The Able ST. Nicholas, parish priest
OF Oporto, was arrested Sunday
charged with being concerned
in the insurrection, as lie was
leaving his church after mass. 9th

AN ILLUSTRATION.
How an Old Colored Man Attempted to
Supply Himself with Corn.

supply Himself WIN corn.
An old negro in South Carolina want
ed some corn. But he was in that
blessed state of the Apostle Peter
silver or gold have l none" So Cuffy
was in sore distress. He saw that he
would have to steal again-and that he
had always found to be dangerous.
Unfortunately he had no secret cham
Der or strong box in which to hide his
booty; and hence he had come to grief.
Now, however, Cuffy would be wise, he
he would have no need for strong box
or a secret chamber. Moreover his
little stealings would not be missed
they would be so small.
His employers corn crib was locked;
that did not make any matter. In fact
it was all the better that it was locked;
he would leave it locked and thus no
suspicion would be aroused. A few
big auger holes through the floor of the
crib would serve Cuffy's purpose far
better: and he would then have supply
of corn ION tap" Cuffy carried out his
well-laid plans and everything appeared
to be going well. The ''fambly" got
bigger rations than they had ever
known in those hard times just after
the war.
But alas, Cuffy had miscalculated
on one important point-his employers
pile of corn was too small to stand
little leak every night without showing
tell-tale hole at the top.
And Cuffy was caught.
The Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee at Washington issued
what the New York Tribune calls "a
ringing campaign document" 1t is
founded on Cuffy's reasoning.
This important document says:
$50 far as increased cost to retail
buyers is concerned, the people will
never know that tariff bill has been
passed"
Precisely so; that is what Cuffy
thought, too. "It is so little that it
will not be missed"
But the great army of American con-
sumers, the farmers and laborers, have
not very large pile from which these
tariff leallings are to drop. The thing
will be found out-see If it don't
The augur holes are big and the leak
ings drop too often!

Total raw material.

The wool used is reported as wool
in the grease, and should be reduced at
least 60 per cent. to obtain the amount
Of pure wool consumed. The legal ratio
Of loss is 66.66 per cent. Thus only 11S,-
iI6,s9l pounds of pure wool were con-
sumed This shows that the compost
ton of woolen goods made in 1850 was
los parts of adulterants to lis parts of
pure wool. In 1870 the shoddy mills
alone used 19,3T2,OO pounds of raw
shoddy, and in 1850 they used 81, 1856, ,9a6
pounds of raw shoddy on secured
basis.
The making of shoddy was a compar-
atively unimportant business only few
years ago. Already it is prosperous
and growing industry and regards itself
as an entirely respectable member of
our families of National industries A
recent number of the American Wool
Reporter contains the advertisement of
twenty-eight shoddy dealers.
Early last year the same journal gave
description of the Muhlhauser Shoddy
Mills, of Cleveland, o., ''the most ex-
tensive shoddy mills in this country,
and probably the largest in the world"
The correspondent of the Reporter said:
The production of these mills is very large,
and since the new addition has been in oper.
alton, 10000 pounds per day has been turned
out, yielding an annual product of about
5000 600 pounds. Their last pay roll shows
over $50 hands employed; their help are
mostly Bohemians, They have 300 sorters to
keep the material ready for the machinery
This plant was first established in 1871.
II is interesting to note the success which
has attended the firm in its business and the
steady manner in which II Is increasing, the
demand for their shoddes growing larger
and larger every year.
But as the use of shoddy increases the
use of wool decreases; and this Is why
the shoddy men were so well pleased
with the Mckinley bill and It's higt
ool duties. The legitimate wooler
industry lsnguishes, while tho shoddy
industry prospers. The issue of the
Wool Reporter, already quoted, con

ANOTHER MINE HORROR,
Eight Men Burned to Death In Michi-
ran Mine,


At about six o'clock Thursday even.
ing n part of the Chaplin Nine Iron
Mountain Mich, the largest and most
productive in Michigan, caught fire at
the sixth level, and at this writing tho
fire has spread to an alarming extent.
and smoke is pouring from four of the
shafts, and it is feared that serious dam.
age will result. 1t is thought that
several miners of the day
shaft are underground, and
can not be rescued. They
have probably succumbed to the smoke.
How the fire started is not known. The
tops of the shafts are being covered to
prevent air from entering the mine, and
it is hoped by this means TO smother
the flames. At nine o'clock the fire is
still spreading, and all the shafts have
been closed down. There is no hope
of rescue for the eight entombed men,
whose names can not yet be learned.
The mine is situated in tho
heart of Iron Mountain, and almost
the entire population surrounds the
opening waiting for some news from
the unfortunate victims. The Chaplin
Mine was the second largest ore shipper
in the Lake Superior district, having
shipped 100000 tons last year. Tho
Vanderbilts were negotiating for its
purchase.
