ter which covered so large @ part of the
 Colorado desert, after an overflow Of the
 Colorado river, and which many people
 supposed had come to stay, has now en-
 tirely disappeared, and a wonderful sea of
 verdure now marks the place that was once
 barren sand. It is convincing proof given
 by nature that the so-called desert is sus- ceptible of high cultivation, and under a system of storage reservoirs may become thickly peopled.
 A young missionary who recently re- turned from Japan tells the following story: I almost converted one old chief by making him the high mogul of the mis- sion. The chief liked this for while, but in summer he disappeared for month. When asked where he had been he said: "Oh, was up in the mountains, worship ping the old gods. thought I would like to try them again fcr change" This little anecdote we'll illustrates two sides of the missionary work.

 It has been generally assumed that Woman hasn't much ot a head for fig gers." But Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Brown Davis, who computes the ephemeris of the sun for the Nautical Almanac, is a woman less than thirty years old and a remarkable mathematician. She was school teacher in Washington before her marriage, but having shown an aptness for figures and having been mentioned to Professor New combe of the Nautical Almanac office, he employed her to read some proofs and yer ify few calculations. She soon after competed for $1 200 place as computer in his office, and beat @ dozen male rivals conspicuously. Meantime, she kept uphe course of study in the Columbian univer- sity, where she graduated in 1886. Short ly before this she startled her instructors and other astronomers by discovering and correcting an error in one of La Places tables that had for years resulted in incon- sistencies puzzling to astronomers through out the world. She also oinvented and copy lighted the Washington Greenwich table now used by the government, which is said to greatly facilitate the work of the com puters.

What "Tarifr for Revenue" Means.
The Democratic doctrine Of "tariff
for revenue only" Is direct step toward
absolute free trade. Every workingman
knows that when the protective idea Is
cast aside by lowering the duties merely
to produce revenue, at once the goods
made abroad are rushed into this coun.
try to compete with the home made ar
ticle. This not only destroys home
work, but produces a much greater
revenue. Then TO bring the income
from duties down to lower proportions
the "for revenue only" advocates cut
the duties down still lower, the result of
which is more foreign goods, less work
at home and more revenue than before.
Then to stop the increased revenue free
trade is inaugurated absolutely. In the
meantime Europe will have drained the
gold resources Of this country, the
American workingman will have been
lowered many steps below his brother
worker abroad, his occupation will have
been taken from him and his workshops
closed. d.-Philadelphia North American.

The Mckinley bill threatened to
cut OF it's hold. and to save the
20 per cent. duty the decision was
reached to bring over the crude rock
from Seyssel and prepare the mastic
here. T. Hugh Boorman, the manager
of the New York branch, admitted in
an interview yesterday that the tariff
was the controlling cause OF the erec-
tion of the great Long Island factory,
and further said that the plant would be
increased if the continuance OF the
tariff were assured.
1t Is significant circumstance that
Canada has followed the American ex-
ample, and put the same tariff on pre-
pared asphalt which is in force here.
After the Mckinley bill went into effect
the Canadians found that, although
England owned Trinidad, the prepared
asphalt from the United States was con-
trolling their market. So they protected
themselves with tariff, and now have
two asphalt factories in operation in
Montreal.
There is very little use Of claiming in
face of such examples that protection
does not plant and foster man ufacturing
industries.

ANOTHER M'KINLEY INDUSTRY.

The morning papers record the estab-
lishment of big asphalt factory on
Long Island as n direct result of the Nc
Kinley tariff on prepared asphalt. Free
Trade Democrats are not expected to re-
joice in this new avenue Of employment
opened to American workingmen, but
the circumstances attending the trans
fer Of the industry from France to this
country may be of interest to the gen.
eral public, Notwithstanding.
The provisions of the new tariff ad-
init crude asphaltum into the United
States free OF duty but prepared as
phalt is subject TO 20 per cent. al va
loren duty. One of the largest foreign
asphalt firms is the Companie Generate
des Asphaltes de France, which owns
great asphalt mines at Seyssel, Chava-
roche. Forenssud, Bastennes, Frangy
and at Ragusa in Sicily. This corpora
ton has been doing business In the
United States for twenty years.

that under the tariff policy Of the Re-

The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
ends one Of the bitterest political fights
ever waged in the United States. The
breach between the warning factions
will probably extend to the presidential
contest and will tell seriously against
Mr.. Cleveland's prospects. Perhaps the
most remarkable event OF the conven-
ton was the complete overthrow OF the
protection element and the reinstate-
ment Of the Mills feeling. Briefly de-
scribed, the outcome Of the convention
Is a repetition Of the struggle Of 1888,

favors the election of Mr.. HARRISON

would cause the repeal Of the Mckinley

WHERE is THE REPORT.

Democrats all over the country are
looking with anxiety for the report Of
the House committee appointed with
such Jealous haste to investigate the
Homestead strike. Mr.. Oates and his
coadjutors took a, so to speak, Congress
sional express for Pittsburg at the first
wind of trouble. There was campaign
richness, lashings of it, in the
testimony to be given by the poor
starving wretches forced into rebellion
by the unendurable exactions of tariff
baron. Mr.. Oates committee was in-
defatigable in its sittings. 1t sum-
moned Frick and it summoned ODon-
nell. 1t took over 200 printed pages of
testimony. 1t rose with reluctance and
took itself back to Washington. Then
the national Democracy looked to hear
from it. But the important campaign
report has not come. Mr.. Oates,
Mr.. Boatner ct al. went to
Homestead for the one sole and
single purpose of showing that wages
were low, and the workmen ground
under the iron heel of protective sys-
tenn. They didn't succeed in showing
it. On the contrary, Mr.. Boatner, in a
moment Of inadvertence, allowed him
self to exclaiIn during the process of
testimony taking, "These are the high
est wages ever heard Of" and Mr..
Oates, in private conversation since his
return to Washington, is understood to
have expressed his chagrin at having
gone to see rags, and found instead
earnings Of "A to $17 per day.
The report will be suppressed until
after election, probably. 1t cannot be
so twisted as to serve its turn. The
House Judiciary Committee has got
bravely over its haste to go with it be-
fore the country. The Democratic
leaders now find their advantage in sup
pressing the information they gained.
To give the sanction of an official re-
port to the testimony as to Carnegie
wages" would be too humiliating.
The investigation, it is now evident,
went up like u rocket and has come
down like stick. Facts are stubborn
things.
