Electricity and Explosives.

No stronger evidence of the safety Of
electric lighting installations can be
afforded than the fact that a great many
explosives factories are now being lit by
electricity, 1t is obvious that in building
where the preparation of infiammable
or highly explosive substances is carried
on very special care should be taken in
order to avoid even the smallest risk,
and powder manufacturers now find
that the electric light adds consider
able percentage over gas to the chances
of safe operation. While electricity in
creases the safety of this branch Of in
dustry in one way it lessons it in an
other. There is a great deal of free cleo
tricity thrown off in various stages of
manufacture, and the disposition of this,
so far as it can be removed out of harms
way, is a serious question.
The charge of a powder cake press
with ebonite plates may practically be
considered as an electric pile, and a
large amount of friction or electric in
huence from outside may cause a Stiff
cient electric charge to give off sparks.
Several undisputed cases of this kind
have been known. Another source of
danger from friction occurs during the
glazing, rounding and sieving of gun
powder. The powder is subjected to a
constant rubbing of its particles against
each other and during the glazing es-
pecially there is danger Of electricity ac-
cumulating.
Therefore precautions should be taken
in order to convey away any charge that
may accumulate in the glazing barrels.

QUEER QUESTIONS

Which Some Naughty Republicans In
sist on Asking.
The American Economist, one Of the
best authorities on financial matters, has
. column Of "Queries" which are inter-
esting, and here are some of them:
If foreigners do not pay the duties.
why should they remove their factories
to the United States?
If the United States is not producing
tin plate in commercial quantities, why
are sixty Welsh tin plate works idle?
If the Mckinley wool duties did not
protect American wool prices, why has
the price Of wool fallen in the London
market over 81 per cent since January,
1890, while in the same time the fall in
the price of American wool has been
only per cent?
Why should Democratic Labor Com
missioner Peck's report, showing how
the Mckinley law has increased wages
and given life to industry, cause such
great sorrow in the free trade camp
# the tariff has caused strikes, why
were there !, TAO less strikes in New York
state in 1891 than there were in 1890?
is the example Of Grover Cleveland,
who Immediately before his first nomi-
nation for the presidency confessed that
he didn't know thing about the tar

SOUTHERN g.-NTIMENT.

1t Seems to Be Still Adverse to the
Soldier Element.
The tariff is a job from one end to the
other, the more Ubiquitous because while
levying tribute upon the masses for the
benefit of the classes it is supplemented
by steadily increasing pension list,
looting the treasury to the tune of $780,
600, 900 year, two-thirds of which go
to the support of coffee coolers and camp
followers and other red nosed patriots
that loaf about the doggeries and broth
els of the country, swearing one for an
other.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t requires the proceeds of 100000
bales of cotton every year to pay the
south's part of the pension fund, two
thirds of which is paid to support tramps
and beggars who claim to have fought
for the Union. This is one of the means
invented by the. Republicans to drain
the southern people of their money
Americas Ca Times Recorder.
Some of the northern papers are howl
ing about the positive fact that Grover
Cleveland hired a cheap man to repre-
sent him when the north pillaged and
plundered and burned and ravished the
south. There could not be q better
recommendation. The scamps at the
north who went into the war went in
for fourteen dollars month, with an
explicit understanding that they should
and could steal all that was in sight.
Grover Cleveland knew that the country
would need his services in 1884 and
again in 1892, and he did not propose to
have his body filed with lead in order
to give Yankee chance to pick his
pocket after he had been killed. He
simply did good business job, as he
did when he slapped the dirty beggars
called pensioners-in the face. Why
should he, statesman and man of his
intellect, take the chance of war when
he could hire cheap fellow to represent
him? There is no reason. The Globe
regards that as one of the best things
Cleveland ever did. If Cleveland had
fought he would have been lowered in
the estimation of the south. He did not
propose to use his skill in killing the
boys of the southland. The solid south
owes a debt of gratitude to Grover
Cleveland.-Durham On. CO. Globe.

The Localities of the Birds.

All our permanent residents among
the birds, both large and small, are COM
paratively limited in their ranges. The
crow Is nearly as local as the wood
chuck. He goes farther from home in
quest of food, but his territory is well
defined, both winter and summer. His
place of roosting remains the same year
after year. Once, while spending few
days at mountain lake nearly sur
rounded by deep woods, my attention
was attracted each night, just at sun
down, by an osprey that always came
from the same direction, dipped into the
lake as he passed over it for a sip of it's
pure water and disappeared in the woods
beyond.
The routine of his life was probably
as marked as that of any of ours. He
fished the waters of the Delaware all
day, probably never going beyond GER
tain limit, and returned each night at
shutdown, as pupctual as day laborer,
to his retreat in the forest. The sip Of
water, too, from the lake he never failed
to take.
All the facts we possess in regard to
the habits of the song birds in this re-
spect point to the conclusion that the
same individuals return to the same To-
calities year after year to nest and to
rear their young.-John Burroughs in
Century.

THE GOLDEN RULE.
At Last It L. Applied to Commerce and
with Great Success.

At Last 1t L. Applied to Commerce and
with Great Success.
Reciprocity is simply an endeavor to
apply the golden rule to commerce; to
pursuade our neighbors to make conces-
sions in favor of our products in return
for the concessions we have already
made in favor of theirs; to secure for
the farmer and manufacturer of the
United States some advantages that their
rivals in other countries may not enjoy,
and to increase the purchasing power Of
the consumers in the other American
nations by reducing the cost of certain
merchandise of which they, by reason
of the high duties imposed upon it, are
in great measure deprived.
1t requires no argument to demons
trate that the people of Cuba will con-
sumo more flour, now that the duty on
that article coming from the United
States is reduced from s.. rs to 80 cents
barrel, or that the people of Brazil
will buy their cotton goods in the United
States it they can import them from this
country at a duty of rs per cent. less
than they must pay on the same articles
when imported from Europe.
The annual imports of the Latin
American countries average $500 ,OOO, 900,
and OF these we have annually furnished
about 10 per cent. The annual exports

What Increased Woo, Tariff Does.

During the last year the wool i'm
ports were 14S,67O,672 pounds against
1873, 1903, 64S pounds in 1891 and 1867
431 1856 pounds in 1900 gain of over
40 per cent. in two years. The
raw material has been used in manu-
factories mostly idle before the increase
in duty. After period of serious de-
preston under the old tariff the manu-
facturer consumed in 1890 about 371 ,O0O,-
600 pounds of domestic and foreign wool
against 331 900, 900 pounds in 1880. But
during the last year the consumption
was domestic and foreign, about 439,-
100000 pounds, an increase of II per
cent. in two years against previous in
crease of IL per cent. in ten years under
the old tariff. The value of wooden
goods imported has diminished $21 ,OOO,-
600 in 2 years and the value of silk
goods $7,500,OOO.
One result of the recent tariff act has
been the incorporation of company for
the promotion of trade between New
York and Cuba. Its objects are to es-
tablish banking, trust and safe deposit
company in Cuba and the United States,
doing business in Havana, Newark and
New York. The company will also act
as purchasing agent for persons in the
two countries. 1t will open up to the
United States very extensive and con.
stantly increasing trade with that coun.

OF the Latin American countries average
about 100000, 600, and of those we
bought last year nearly 5000, 900 or
about 80 per cent. In their commerce
with Great Britain these conditions are
reversed.
During the last ten years we have pur-
chased of those countries merchandise
to the value of $1,5OO,OOO,OOO, and we
have sold them merchandise to the value
OF $500, 100000. The difference, 81 ,OOO,-
100000, they have expended in Europe
for articles nearly every one of which
we could have furnished, and will now
be able to furnish under our reciprocity,
which is driving out European COM
merce there and putting our own in its
place.

The Street Bands Delight.

One of the delicate delights of the
street band is its propensity to scent out
household musicales. In nothing, ap-
parently, do these wandering musicians
so much delight as to spring into blat-
ant strains before the house from which
issues the voice Of song or the modest
music of the pianoforte. They carry
the day or rather the night every time;
for while they can play through and
over and above anything, it would take
self possessed and steady nerved house
hold performer to hold his own or her
own against such rivalry. And then

whv He Could Not Attend.

An amusing instance Of the expedi-
ents resorted to by men summoned to
attend as common jurymen in order to
avoid serving in that capacity occurred
recently. One morning little girl
whose eyes just peered above the desk
timidly exclaimed:
"Please sir, father can't come; he can't
put on his boots"
The judge asked the nervous little
creature what was the matter with her
parent. She hesitated. Evidently she
had not been instructed further than the
statement she had made, and looking
straight into the judges eyes said:
"Well, sir, father don't wear boots;
he's got wooden legs. I wasn't told to
say anything else, sir; that's all. Lon
don Tit-Bits.

AN OPINION OF HILL.

Entertained. Too, at Democratic National
Headquarters.
Colonel Tracey, who has charge OF
some of the editorial work at Democratic
headquarters, has opinions of his own
about Senator Hill. He was asked yes
terday why the national committee had
been so anxious to bring Hill out strong.
"Ah," said the colonel, 'thats poll
tics. We have been obliged to pat him
on the back so as to make him feel good.
He's been feeling very sore, you know
everybody knows it. We've rubbed the
fur down the right way and soothed
him, but want to say that Hill couldn't
be elected constable in his own town if
he ran again for Office. Everybody
knows that"
Having delivered himself of this opin-
ion the colonel resumed his editorial
function with the manner of man who
has said something that no one can gain
say.-New York Press.

at the dictation of southern free traders,
a better one for Democrats to follow
than that of jefferson, Madison, Jack
son. Benton and Randall?
With cost of living lower and farm
prices higher than two years ago, as ad-
mitted by Democratic Senators Carlisle
and Harris, would not the farmer be
foolish indeed were he to vote against
protection-the farmers policy?
Are the free traders, who attempted to
nullify the constitution in 1882 and re-
belled against it in 1851, better judges of
its provisions than the protectionists,
who fought and bled for it during five
long years Of war?

Sickles Contrasts Harrison and Cleveland

Sfckles Contrasts Harrison and Cleveland.
General Sickles still insists upon his
blunt manner of telling large truths in
few words. At regimental reunion in
Washington he said: 81 know President
Harrison. He was brave soldier. Ben
Harrison sent no substitute to the front.
He went himself and did some effective
fighting. Ihave personal knowledge of
his bravery on several occasions" These
remarks, coming from the lips of a
Democrat, caused a sensation. General
Slocum was also present at the reunion
and showed by his conversation that he
had not changed the opinion he ex-
pressed at the Chicago convention when
he said that Cleveland could not carry
the soldier vote of New York.
