a GANG 09Tharn

There is no doubt of there being gang
of thieves in town. 1t has been some
years since the town was cursed with
such crowd of loafers and mean thieves
and it now behooves us to lay for thes
gentlemen and promptly lay them ont.
1t might be well to have a night watch
man or two, but in lieu of such guards,
each citizen should be alert with his gun
loaded. The success of these small op-
erations will no donbt embolden the per-
petrators to more extended acts.

NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflection

A soldier named Brandon came up
from Captina to go to Washington with
the Post from this place. He says that
he intends to win the mile race at the
Encampment open to veterans of '61 and
90. He is comparatively young man,
as he entered the service as a drummer
boy, at the age of IL years. Once actual
ly enlisted, he says, he kicked hole in
his drum, and carried musket through
out the rest of the war. He has great
hole in one arm, the result of wound,
but is nevertheless in good health and
strong. He is perfectly sure of winning
the prize-a hundred dollar piano
in the race referred to, as his vocation
of coon and fox hunter has fitted him for
such contest 1t is said that he is one
of a family of thirtythree children, that
he had seventeen brothers in the Union
army, and seven half brothers in the
Confederate service.
Enough wind is wasted in idiotic
laughter to move the worlds machinery
and belly the sails of its argosies on ev-
cry sea. Laugh and grow fat" is very
good advice, but the greater part of So
called laughing is no fat producer, but
simply a waste of breath. To every we'll
bred person certain amount of super
fiuous laughing is necessity. One must
laugh politely, if one would be polite,
often at the most dull Of stories or re-
marks, because laughter seems to be ex
pected. But there is no use i'll comfort
ing ones face until the features retain
permanent wrinkles. and pouring out the
vitality of ones lungs in an absolutely
mirthless te he, or ha ha, simply because
one would be polite. Such pollteness
becomes mushy. 1t degenerates into ser
Witty and groveling, softens the individ-
ualitv, and betrays vacant and stupid
mental equipment. There are certainly
times to laugh, as sLcred writer well
observes, but such times are not all the
time, and the common indiscriminate
skull-li grinnlng, and exaggerated guf
fawing is simply wearisome and gloomy.

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.


Sensible people are unable to understand
how it is possible for any American to
claim that tln'plate cannot be made in this
country. If one were asked if America
could produce watches, mathematical in
struments, electrical appliances, firearms.
silk, satin, carpets, locomotives, sheet
steel, sheet iron, etc., be would proudly
say Eyes" Now, take the position that
America can produce sheet iron or sheet
steel, and it will be proven that she can
produce it fully equal in every respect to
every country in the world. Does she pro-
duce pig lead, pig tin2 Does she contain
labor with the average amount of intelli-
gence as found in the world? To every
one of these questions the reply would be
Eyes" excepting in regard to the pig tin
the reply may be that at the present time
the quantity produced is limited. There
are two ways Of making tin.plate, the pure
palm oil process and the acid fux process.
The pure palm oil process is slow but it is
the best and the only way by which
really fine and durable plates can be made
The acid Aux process is quick, cheap and
easy. In order to give clear illustration
of the latter take box Of &c. 14x2O cheap
roofing tin, which is composed of 1O5
pounds of sheet iron or sheet steel. an
article of American manufacture which
no one will deny who has any
knowledge of the output of our rolling
mills. Now what is done with this to make
the finished platter The sheets are picked
and washed, a very simple and cheap pro-
cess already done in hundreds of plants
working in this country in the making of
galvanized iron, etc. They are then taken
to patent machine, worked by two boys.
This machine contains about 500 pounds
of metal, the proportion say about one
pound of tin and nine pounds of lead. At
the present value of metals this mixture is
worth less than six cents per pound. These
two boys can tin the sheets at the rate of
thirteen per minute. 1t is therefore seen
they can furnish a box in about nine
minutes, and the amount of coating put
on is one and half pounds. To arrive
at the value of box of tin complete. take
nine cents as the value of the metal; the
boys wages for nine minutes, and add the
value of the sheet iron or steel and the
cleaning it, the total being the net cost.
This is the entire situation. A country
that can produce almost everything from
pin to a locomotive, should surely be able
to take the output of its rolling mills and
simply coat it with pure tin or a mixture
OF tin and lead. To those who take the
position against the industry on account
OF the question Of block tin, we would say
that the British and Welsh manufacturers
do not get their tin at home.
There is no tin in Wales and what little
Is mined in England is not of a quality
suitable for making tin plate. All tin
used in making tin plate comes from the
East Indies and London is the principal
market. If the manufacturers of this coun-
