A lot of giant powder which was bought by Prescott republicans to be exploded on the nomination of Blaine has not been used /; not even a fire cracker was discharged and very few mouths shot off to celebrate the nomination of Harrison. Whats the matter anyhow? Where has the enthusiasm gone and what has become of the cash .down-oh- be joy ful Prescott branch of the national republican league glee club? Don't be down hearted, boys, the demo- crats will take the giant powder off your hands and will welcome you to join in the grand national rejoic- ing, which will take place when the Chicago convention places two rep resentative Americans before the people.-Prescott Courier,

TIE Minneapolis Convention

THE Minneapolis Convention placed before the people for thelr support about the weakest ticket it was possible for them to select. Mir. Harrison is an avowed advocate of a high protective tariff. He is also in favor of the Force bill, and an open enemy of silver, and approves of the "bIocks of five" system of carrying elections, or be would never have taken his seat as Presi- dent of the United States nor ap- pointed Wood to a United States Circuit Judgeship. On these ques- tions the people spoke in no uncer- tain tones at the last congressional elections. and there Is no evidence they have changed their opinions since that time. To make matters worse, and to show that the leaders of the Republican party have un- bounded faith in the efficacy of money in carrying elections, and no respect or confederation for the intelligence of the masses, they put Whitelaw Reid up for second place. NIT. Reid's name will, undoubtedly, have the effect of uniting all labor organizations in the United States against the ticket, as It is generally known that he has been an active enemy to such organizations for years-that be not only opposed them in speech, but he put his teachings into practice by employ ing ''rat" printers, being himself a printer. The story has been put in circulation that he recently made the Tribune Unlon office by dis charging his "rats" and employing fair printers. This, however, New York Typographical Union No. 6 denies, or rather says, that if it has been done, the officers of No. 6 know nothing about it- have re- ceived no official notification of any such change. If the change had been made the officers of the Union would have known of it as well as every fair printer ill New York City. But, granting that he has done so, and that he now employs Union men, the change of heart comes too late to have any effect. All adhe rents of labor unions will under stand and appreciate hls motives in making the change just at this time, and they are far too intelli- gent to be caught by any such sub- terfuge. Our word for it, The Tri- bune will be a "rat" office again be- fore the first day of January, 1893, no matter how the election goes. MT. Reid, if he has any gratitude in his composition, will be bound to stand by Thompson, his foreman and organizer of "rats."

Tucson, Ariz., June 10.-J. A. Van Horn, who was lost on the des- ert sixty miles west of Tucson, was brought in yesterday. He had been eight days without water. He sub- sisted on cacti ofthe desert and some canned fruit he found near two hu- man skeletons. When found he was in helpless condition, His tale of suffering is one of horror.

FOLLOWING is Jerry Simpsons idea of the Minneapolis nominees l: The Minneapolis nominees will give the Democrats something to do in this campaign. It is evident that the Republicans have gone over completely to the plutocrats. Of course everybody knew that the Re publicans were allied with the mo- nopolists, but MT. Depew's support of Harrison and the nomination of Whitelaw Reid make the combina- lion so patent and open that from this time on there is absolutely no excuse for any one who makes a mistake. The Democrats have the consolidated poodle of the country to fight, and the Republicans are so open and arrogant in their determi- nation to make the issue that they have actually put Whitelaw Reid, an avowed opponent and enemy of organized labor: on the ticket, l did not think that the issue would be quite so sharply drawn in the campaign, but 1 am glad of 1t.

The trombone has always seemed an in.
comprehensibly stupid instrument to the
uninitiated. Il has hitherto been impos-
sible TO "muten the trombone. Comets.
horns and trumpets have all been muted.
either by the intrusion OF a wooden plug
into the bell or, in the case Of the coach
horn, by partly closing the bell with one of
the hands Of the player. In the trombone
the bell Is not only too far away 10 be-
muted in this manner, but the whole
structure Of the instrument makes such
an operation impractioable.
An exchange says, however that the
problem has been solved by an invention
known as the echo attachment" A
piston placed just under the hand used in
holding the trombone can be depressed
by touch Of the middle finger and Is re-
turned by a spring the moment pressure is
removed. The effect OF lowering the piston
Is TO switch of the air current into a long
and tortuous tube, the same length as the
main body Of the trombone. This termi.
mates, not in a bell, but in a curious, ir.
regular cone, so that the sound is not
"blared forth, " but only gently footed"
The echo attachment Is so arranged that
the whole Of it is hidden by the bell Of the
trombone when the player faces the audi
ence. BY it's aid seemingly distant music
can be produced in the front Of the orches
ira without the device of hiding the from
bone behind the scenery.

To an engineer Of Chicago cable street
railroad is attributed the following; We
have found that the power required
for the operation Of the system on rainy
days, when the tracks were wet, was
fully % per cent less than on dry days,
and at the same time we estimated
that at least p per cent. more passengers
were carried at such times. This gives
very large showing ia favor of wet
rails where cable power Is used, and the
adhesion between wheel and rail is not
depended upon for traction. With steam
locomotive or an electric motor the result
Is just the reverse, for with them the slip
page is excessive when the rails are wet.
Under these circumstances rainy days are
greater blessing 20 the cable roads than
is generally supposed"
