TuE Chamber Of Commerce did some
quick and effective work last evening.
The monopoly, which has lately arbi-
trarily taken away from Wheeling its
natural share of the glass manufacto-
ries Of the country, will in all
probability discover that it
has over-rated its strength.
Wheeling has natural advantages sec
ond to none for the manufacture Of
glass. 1t has confidence in these ad-
vantages. which is justified by the sue
cess and prosperity the industry
in this section enjoyed until it
was throttled by the usual mo-
nopoly tactics. The movement begun
last evening to START two independent
glass factories in Wheeling has the de-
cided approval OF everybody interested
10 the citY's welfare, aud we have no
doubt that sufficient number Of stock
subscriptions will be raised to assure
the speedy and successful launching Of
the enterprise.

Editor WATrERsON, who has OF late
become quite an independent factor In
the Democratic party and usually hews
to the line regardless Of the falling Of
the chips, sees no cause for discourage
ment in the situation for the national
Democracy. On the other hand, he be-
lieves the result should work to the
benefit Of the party by intensifyIng its
appreciation Of the responsibility with
which il Is charged aud by impressing
upon it the duty OF being true to itself
and the people, aud thus preparing
fearlessly and faithfully the account Of
it's stewardship which it is to render a
year hence. For judgment has not yet
been passed on that stewardship.
The new administration has but be-
gun, and while it's one act-the repeal
Of the sherman LAWS accepted by the
country as a good beginning, the party
credit for that was largely diminished by
the course Of the Southern silver Sena-
tors, which, with the obstruction OF the
Western Republicans, so long delayed
relief.
The record upon which the present
administration will first go TO the coun-
try is to be made within the next eight
or ten months. II the Democratic Con-
gress shall bring a united support to
the Democratic President and redeem
the pledges Of the Democratic platform
honestly and promptly, putting through
the tariff bin in time FOR It's effects to
DO felt before next Noyember's cleo
tions, the party need have no fear Of
the outcome. Another Democratic Con-
gress will be elected and the Democracy
will be in tue best of positions for be-
ginning the contest Of 1896.
On this subject the conservative
and independent Democratic Philadel-
phia Record says"
The abnormal Republican maiorities this
car are dCcOQule4 lOI Uy Tue ldCt ludL COh-
ditions of business disaster are always
placed 10 the responsibility of the party
that happens 70 be in power Men who
have lost money IN ill-timed speculations,
men who are out OF work, the army of
CrOakers who are never satisfied, office
seekers who have not been able TO get Of
ices, and government stipendiaries who
fear that their supplies may DC cut of, all
naturally fell into the ranks Of the Opposi-
ton. It is, of course, true that the Demo
cratic administration has had no oppOr-
tunity to change or modify the policy OF
preceding Republican administrations.
The country is in no difficulties that are
not the direct consequences Of Republican
action; but until tho Congress shall have
made such changes as may be deemed nee
essary the administration must expect 70
remain a helpless buffer for popular dis
satisfaction. This year the voting is in the
air Next year the votes will have mean
ing that is now Impossible. This year, so
far as there were issues they were State
issues. The Interpolation of other issues
was an attempt % cloud aud falsify the re-
suit. Next year the issues will be ma
uonal.

TARIFF and Wages.

1t would seem to be incumbent upon
those who declare that low tariff will
reduce wages to show that it has re-
duced them in other times. This ceun-
try has had low tariffs, lower tariffs
than any tariff that it is possible for it
to have now, and wages have never
fallen under them. England has low
cred her tariff essentially and wages
have advanced considerably with the
reduction. Let the workingman re-
member that IL there has been any
reduction of wages this year it has been
a reduction under a high tariff.

Invercauld House, where Sir Algernon
Borthwick has been entertaining the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught
and Prince Henry of Battenberg, is the
ancient seat of the Farquharsons, of In
vercauld, near Braemar. The place has
been let to Sir Algernon Borthwick since
the death of Colonel Farquharson at the
easy rate of 800 a year. Invercauld
is very fine house, which was greatly
enlarged and improved about seventeen
years ago, and it occupies one of the
most beautiful sites in the highlands.
The Dee flows short distance below
the house, and woods and tree clad rocks
are all around, with the mountains as q
background.
Invercauld has always enjoyed the
reputation of being the finest situated
country seat in Aberdeenshire, and in
variety and beauty and grandeur the
surrounding scenery is not surpassed IN
Scotland. The great deer forest of In
vercauld is one of the best in the high
lands, and the grouse moors afford first
rate sport, and there is long stretch Of
excellent salmon fishing in the Dee. The
Farquhason estates extend to about co.
900 acres.-St. James Budget.

Idaho Diamonds.

The New York Times has carefully in =
vestigated the reported discovery OF
diamonds fields in Idaho; and is inclined
to believe that an effort is being made
to boom the find in way not altogether
legitimate. Tiffany & Co, of New York
City, known of such person as s. Kunz,
from whom most of the statements CON
corning the discovery have emanated,
and who has been represented to be In
their employ. George F. kunz Is their
expert, and he has not been out OF New
York City since the reported discovery
Furthermore, two samples OF stones
from the new fields, examined by the
latter gentleman were found to be com
mon quartz crystals; and he character
ICES the assertion contained in Boise
City dispatches, that the Idaho fields
promised to rival those of Africa, in size
and general Importance, as simply
absurd. 1t took years to get any idea
of the extent of the African fields, and
any such statements, off hand, regarding
undeveloped fields are worthless. The
statement in Boise City dispatches that
the stones found, thus far, ''were silicon
diamonds, about nine and quarter pure
and worth about half as much as the
genuine water diamond" caused him no
little amusement. No geologist, be says
would use a term-a diamond is pure
carbon, and either diamond or nothing
at all. This denial finally of the state
ment that Caleb Lyon, territorial Gov
ernor, sold six Idaho diamonds to TIT
fanny & Co., in 1865, would seem to stig-
Matte the whole story as barefaced
fabrication.
All Washington is more or less inter
ested in Idaho's vast mineral resources
and anything cas ting reflection upon
them can not but be deplor ed. 1t may
be well to add that the Mr.. Kunz quoted
besides being connected with the great
est iewelry house in the country, is gen
expert OF the United States geological
survey,

A Tramp's Exciting Ride.

A tramp giving his name as John Fair
appeared at the police station bruised
from head to foot, and asked permission
to sleep in cell until morning. Fair
said he had come to Atchison from
Omaha on a through stock train, and
had the most terrible experience of his
life. Shortly before the train pulled out
of Omaha, the tramp said, he crawled
into car which was loaded with steers.
The steers soon began to step on him, and
seeing this would never do the tramp
climbed on the back of one animal. This
enraged the steer, and it lunged forward,
exciting the other steers, when there
was a panic.
The maddened steers dashed about,
hooking each other and striking the
tramp on all sides. He put his arms
about the neck of the steer which he
was riding and held his grip until the
train stopped at Atchison. The tramp's
head had struck the top of the car a
number of times, and it was badly
bruised. Globe.
