ration and other leading men of the town,
recently attended divine service in a
novel fashion. The meeting house was

placed, while at the church end were
eight trans1uitters-two III the belfry,
two in the choir, two in the reading
desk, and two In the pulpit, switched on
and off as exigencies required-an ar
rangement which has been in operation
for some weeks for the edifcation of
Birmingham subscribers The Noting

are still pending an almost equally in
teresting discovery has been made in a
deep railway cutting at Andresy, in

workmen ran upon huge Merovingian

there have been uncovered nearly 600
tombs, extending over an area of 21s

Electric Locomotives for Steam Roads

Electric Locomotives for Steam Roads.
There are agns that one Of the most
startling revolutions of the century is
approaching. Steps are being taken in
the northwest toward the laying of an
experimental track on which many
points bearing on the substitution Of
electric locomotives for steam locomo-
tives on trunk lines will be determined,
and electrical engineers throughout the
country are on the qui vive for the next
developments. The three eighty ton
electric locomotives to be used in the
Belt line tunnel, Baltimore, will push q
freight train of 200 tons, including To-
connective, through the tunnel, up an
eight-tenths Of per cent. grade, for q
distance Of 5000 feet, at the rate of If
teen miles an hour, or 500 ton passen-
ger train, including locomotive, at the
rate of thirty miles an hour.-St. Louis

have just read in the Democrat
what it has to say in reference to
an alleged tin plate concern about
to be operated by "strong stock
company, etc.
| have been reading more or less
from time to time, in the reference
to the establishment Of tin plate
works in the United States, and |
am reminded by the tone of the
Democrat in reference to this mat
ter, that the declaration that we
are making tin, that We are open
ing tin mines, and that new plants
are being established in this com
try for the production Of tin plate,
etc.,is always made by the Republic
ican papers.
Is it a fact that these reports are
all wicked campaign lies? or are
we actually beginning to produce
tin in this country? According to
the Republican account Of it We
are. according to the Democrat
account Of it We are not dong any
, thing Of the sort and for some I'M
explained reason we ought not to
attempt it.
/ Not long ago I read that large
/ tin plate factory had commenced

and import them in foreign ships.
1t holds out to us the prospect of
foreign markets, and thinks no
trade good but foreign trade. The
very idea is foreign.
Protection thinks that so far as
markets, laborers, industries, pro-
ducts, trade are concerned, in the
words of an American poet, "There
is no place like home.
1t wishes it understood that
American products are good enough
for our people.
1t thinks that the FreeTrader's
claim, American laborers are not
skillful enough to manufacture as
| well as the half-starved laborers of
Europe is a sneer at the intelligence
of Americans.
And above all other things it en-
phasizes the fact that there is an
American standard Of wages and Of
living, and that our national life
and the high grade Of our citizen
ship depend on that standard s
perpetuation.
The impartial man, therefore
whl weighs both sides Of the ques-
ton cannot but conclude that Pro
lection is the more patriotic policy
and as such more worthy of pa
triot's support. For with the great
mass of mankind, patriotism still
continues to be regarded as a noble
feeling, despite the contempt of
the philosopher or the sneers Of
the mugwump.

The Syracuse convention is in

William Grace, ex-Major, of New

the ball rolling against Hill, and
Grace and Condert have been lead

ment in New York. VIM. Grace was
born in Ireland and is some fifty
years old. As young man he
landed in New York but soon went
to Peru, from where he went to
England, returning eventually, went
to New York where he founded the
famous house of W. r. Grace & Co.,
which has to certain extent
monopolized the whole trade with
Peru and Chile, in which coun-
tries Grace has become a great
financial power. Grace has be-

pendent to suit Kelly and the two
men became enemies, Grace join

then threw out Of Tammany Hall
all of Grace's friends, In the be-

elected Mayor of New York against

left Office he has kept aloof from

PROTECTION AND PATRIOTISM.
Aside from the fact of its mater
ial benefits, the higher wages and
greater prosperity which it always
brings, Protection deserves the
support of American citizens be-
cause it is pre-emmently an Amer
lean policy.
The great statesmen of our coun-

as well as Washington and Hamil-

about it only in disparaging way by
any Democratic paper, and | am
constrained to ask the reason why.
Is it all lie? or why don't the
Democratic papers say something
about it?
Why should not a Democrat be
as proud of the introduction of a
new enterprise, or of the establish
ment of a new industry in our COM
mon country as anybody else? And
why should not a democratic news
paper be as quick to recognize such
an enterprise or industry as any
other sort of paper.
believe it is not denied that we
are making some iron and steel in
this country, and it will be gener-
ally conceded that the country is
stronger and vastly more powerful
than if all the iron and steel we
use were manufactured in foreign
countries. If it is profitable, and
if our iron and steel manufactures
add to our greatness as ma
ton, why not add a new industry
wherever practicable, and add so
much more to our wealth and pow
er as nation? | have read in some
Republican papers that the United
States has paid over two hundred
million dollars in the last ten or
fifteen years for its tin plate alone
and it is CLAIMED that we might
just as well give our own people
this work, and keep this money at
home. This seems like a rational
proposition, and unless some valid
objection could be shown | should
be disposed to encourage the estab-
lishment of the tin business in this
country. would like to see the
views of the Democrat on it.
