The Reaxar Outrage.

The court at Beaver, Pa, has SEN
fenced the editors of the Beaver Star to
six months imprisonment and fine of
5000 each for their alleged libel upon
Senator Quay.
The sentence is an outrage. It is ex-
cessive, even if any sentence in the case
were just, as none would be. These
men published political news in news
paper of small local circulation. 1t i'm.
puted to Senator Quay nothing half &c
scandalous as the offenses which he had
virtually confessed by his refusal t(
bring the World into court to answer fol
its 'libel' in specially charging him with
| them.
The prosecution of these men was con
Quoted in a positively shameful way
The jury was packed, under the forms
of law, with Senator Quay's partisans.
His attorneys selected sixteen men tc
serve as jurors-all of them acceptable
to him-and compelled the defendants
to submit to trial before twelve of the
carefully chosen sixteen.
The case is one of persecution, no
prosecution. 1t does not vindicate the
majesty of law. 1t outrages it in
stead.-[New York World.

The camphor expert selects a tree and
scrapes into the trunk in different places,
using an instrument resembling somew hat
in appearance rake with teeth Of cured,
gouge shaped edges tnat cut pulling. This
scoops out the wood in little crescent
shaped chips.
A tree is not considered worth anything
for camphor purposes until it is fifty vears
old. The yield Of n tree is unequal, being
greater in and about the roots than higher
up on the trunk.
The scrapings or chips are pounded in n
stone or iron mortar and boiled in a large
iron caldron, over which is placed, with
the concave covering the mouth of he
ealdron, an earthenware bowl shaped YES
sci. In the boiling the camphor sublimes
and condenses on the inside of the big
bowl, which is removed from time To time,
the camphor scraped off and replaced.
The root and trunk are scraped while
the yield lasts, and the chipping continued
till finally the tree falls. No attempt is
made to extract the camphor from the
trunk or branches of the fallen tree. In
some cases the trunk is sawed mp into
planks, but this depends upon the locality
In many districts, owing TO absence OF
roads, timber would not pay for its trans
port 1t is impossible to imagine a more
wasteful method, and it is fortunate that
the camphor forests of Formosa are pract-
cally inexhaustible The quantity of cam
phor produced depends upon the amount
OF labor employed in the business Ten
iron pots and accompanying bowls make
mp what is called "set," and are worked
by four men. One set will produce about
six pounds a day. fair average is 1850
