TRAYEING IN 4 TREE.

The people of Tulare county, Cal, are
going to the Worlds Fair. to be opened
next year in Chicago, in railway coach
es of novel construction. In gorge 60
miles from Visalia grows redwood tree
800 feet high-96 feet from the butt to
the first branch, and 26 through at the
base This monarch of the forest is be
felled, cut in sections lengthwise, and
hauled to the Visalia railway station.
There the log will be made whole by the
reuniting of the sections. Then experts
will divide a portion of it into two
lengths of 45 feet each, which will after
ward be hewn into the shape of passen-
ger coaches. The bark will be used for
roofs, and on the sides and ends the ma
tural wood will be left unpublished.
The inside will be followed out, win
dows and doors put in, and the interior
finished after the fashion of Pullman
cars. One will be buffet and dining
carriage, with apartments for baths, bar
bers shop, and kitchen. Platforms will
be put at the ends, and ordinary trucks
underneath; and, to prevent the trans
formed tree from falling to pieces, heavy
bands of iron will be put around the
bodies of the cars.
The tree would be left with the bark
on, but for the fact that the carriages
could not be more than the regulation
size, and get over bridges and through
tunnels safely. They Will be about II
feet wide and 10 feet high. 1t is intend
ed that the men of Tulare shall take
their wives and children and go to the
Exhibition in the tree. The carriages
will be kept on the Fair grounds, and
the delegation will make them their
home

THE FREE WOOL AGITATION.

1HE NOOl- Apll Al lON.
New York Press.
The handful of New England woolen
manufacturers who have petitioned Con-
gress to make foreign wool free, but to
keep the duty on foreign woolen goods,
have been guilty of piece of astounding
folly. Their expectation that the House
of Representatives, with the 140 free
trade majority, will remove the duty on
wool, which protects the wool grower,
and maintain it on the manufactured
article TO help the manufacturer is with
out the slightest foundation in fact or
common sense. Evidently they have
forgotten Henry Watterson's declara
tions that 'the keystone of the arch of
protection is WOOL" and that "the Dem
ocratic party is free trade party or it is
nothing" The Democratic free traders
of the South and West will assGredly not
vote to make wool free without voting to
put wooden goods on the free list also.
The selfishness of the manufacturers
we have referred to is as amazing as
their folly. They have put themselves
on record as urging the ruin of the wool
growing industry of the United States
while jealously insisting that their own
business shall remain protected. They
have shown that they care nothing for
the farmers who raise sheep; their sole
concern is to get foreign wool cheap and
increase their own profits.

PUBLIC OPINION.
AFRAID TO MEET 1T.

AFRAID IL NEIL
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
There is no longer any room to doubt
that the Democratic leaders are afraid
to meet the silver issue in caucus. This
is a most remarkable manifestation of
moral cowardice. When the present
House was being chosen free silver was
an issue in more than twenty states,
and it is safe to say that three e-fourths
of the rank and file of the party are in
favor of unlimited coinage. Then why
should they haul down their colors and
seek to evade the issue now that they
have an overwhelming majority in the
popular branch of Congress? 1t is not
because they are any the less free
silverites at heart, nor is it because there
is a Republican President and Senate in
the way. The true reason of their
chariness is the dread of defeat through
the loss of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and other States which
they hope TO carry. coupled with the
apprehension that they may have to
support candidate who is not with the
majority of his party on this issue. The
fact that the calling of caucus to
discuss the silver question has been
abandoned for the present shows to
what straits the Democrats have been
reduced.

SILVER STILL FALLING.

Cleveland Leader.
In spite of all the legislation of the
last few years, in the United States, de-
signed to bolster up the price of silver,
that metal is now at the lowest level
ever known. After the enormous in
crease in the annual production conse-
quent upon the opening of tn Nevada
and Colorado mines the natural decline
in value led the governments of various
European countries TO abandon the use
of silver as a basis of their monetary
systems. This, of course, tended to
accelerate the inevitable downward
movement, and the market price gradu-
ally fell until May Is, 1893, when it
reached 41s pence an ounce in London.
This was equivalent to about 9l-24
cents an ounce in New York, at which
rate the value of the silver in a standard
silver dollar was l0,151 cents. Then the
market turned. and a considerable ad
vance was secured which eliminated in
August, 1880, when silver was quoted in
New York as high as S1.2l an ounce.
On Tuesday the market closed in
London at Al 9-l6 pence, which is one
sixteenth below the bottom quotation of
May, 1885, In New York the differ
ence is more marked, Tuesdays closing
price being only 80 IA cents an ounce,
which makes the value of the silver in
dollar 698 cents. The market has
long been very weak, and an indefinite
further decline is quite possible. In the
light of such facts is it not very clear
that only the silver barons would have
anything to gair by experimenting with
the free coinage of metal SO uncertain
in value, and so likely to unsettle bust
ness conditions? Even such debtors as
might be willing to scale down the
claims of their creditors, by the trick of
legislation, would be quite sure to lose
more in the long run. than they could
hope to gain by the partial reputation
of their Obligations.

ABUSES IN POSTAL LAWS.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The scheme of Congressman Scott, of
Illinois, designed to correct some abuses
in the postal laws regarding the mailing
of newspapers, contains good points.
As a concession to the publishers of
country weeklies, their papers have for
a long time been carried by the Gov
ernment to post offices in the county OF
publication free of postage charges.
This is the real meaning of the law, but
bv an awkwardness of statement the
residence of the subscriber and not the
location of the post office from which he
receives his mail, determines whether
or not his paper may be sent to him
postage free. Mr. Scott's bill proposes
that newspapers shall circulate free
among post-o offices in the county OF pub
LEGATION, although some subscribers may
happen to reside across the border in
another county. 1t is proposed, further,
that privileges granted to weekly papers,
regarding free mail carriage, be extended
to dailieS, semi-weeklies, tri-weeklies,
and monthlies. A restriction is also to
be placed on advertising schemes which
now come under the second-class rates
of postage. Concerns recognized as
legitimate publications, with a merely
nominal number of bona fide subscribers,
send out immense numbers of copies as
samples" at cheap pound rates. 1t is
proposed, in the interest of honest pub
fishers, to put a stop to this abuse by
limiting the number of sample copies so
sent to one-half the number of actual
paid subscribers.

her body, there are special glands in

this dries when it comes into the air.
This gum forms a silken thread, from
which the spider builds her web. The
nipples, which are called "spinnerets, y
have not merely one opening, but are
pierced with at least a hundred holes,
and when the spider begins her web
more than 600 separate strands 60 to
make up single thread.

upon the fact that a fiber only one four

LACKS COURAGE AND CAPACITY.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The present Democratic House OF
Congress is an illustration of the inca
pacity of the Democratic party to do
business. 1t has been in session over
two months, and, although the Demo-
Gratis have over a hundred majority, they
have not yet agreed upon the rules that
shall govern them in the transaction of
business. They have been wrestling
with the report of the Committee on
Rules more than week, and are divided
among themselves with as intense an
tagonism as one would expect to fad
between different parties. The only
important conclusion reached up to this
time came through the suggestion of a
Republican-Dingley, of Maine, sup
ported by ex-Speaker Reed-which pre-
vides for the immediate consideration
of bills that have been returned from
the Senate amended. 1t was simple
provision for expediting business, but
the Democrats who drafted the code OF
rules reported to the House had not
thought of it, their energies being mainly
centered in shaping the rules in the
interest Of their nte- Presidential cleo
tion do:nothing policy. The Dingley
amendment came in such shape they
could not go on record against it, and
its application is so far in the future
that at their present rate of progress
they may not have recourse to it this
session. The country has lost ten years
in the progress of National Legislation
by the election or the present House OF
Representatives. The majority lacks
both courage and capacity To grasp the
great and important things.
