GIVE MACHINERY A REST.

The Boston Herald thus accounts for
the closing of manufacturing establish
mehts which has caused so much appre-
hension in the Eastern States:
The truth is that all manufacturing enter
prlses find 1t advisable to have some periods OF
ceasing TO operate their machinery. Such rests
are necessary to the cleansing, the repair and
the renewal OF this.
When the manufacturer shows dispo-
sition to Overwnrk his machinery some
Grover Cleveland comes along and makes
it profitable for the manufacturer to give
his machinery a rest. Mr.. Cleveland may
therefore consider himself an instrument
in the hands of providence to give ma
chinery long holiday. Cleveland ought
to be made president of an anti.cruelty to
u machinery society.

The soil Of Germany is better fitted for

also be visible in France. where tobacco

any degree OF affection for the species of to-
bacco commonly for sale in France in the

ROOM FOR ECONOr1Y.

President Hyde of the Board of Educa-
ton is of the opinion that some other
manner Of doing the carpenterinG repairs
in connection with the public schools may
be devised on a more economical footing
than the present one. The appropriation
each year is $4,000 but in Cunsonance
with many examples in public affairs this
amount is generally exceeded. and last
year the expenditure was actually Sc. 900.
The chairman throws this subsidiary light
on the mystery. but the real blame is laid
on politics:
The time consumed In reaching school IS
sometimes worth several times what the re-
pairs would cost By contract. For instance,
the principal of an outside school SENDS IN a
requistion for the replacing OF broken WIN
dow. man is sent to measure the size and
reports TO the shop. AS soon as convenient
another man goes out with the glass and puts 1t
in, aud this 5O-cent pane of glass may have cost
several dollars. II, after reaching the school.

MORE EXHIBITIONS.

Quite crop Of exhibitions is to follow
the great one at Chicago our own in mid
winter among the number. Madrid is 10
year, opening in April. Antwerp is to
have another, opening in May. The Turk
ish Government is to launch one in Con-
stantinople three years hence. Paris is to
hold grand affair to celebrate the end of
the nineteenth century and the dawn of
the next. Probably about the same time
New York will consider it becoming to
make a start. and so the round of exposi-
tons will go on all over the globe. 1t was
thought that the day of general exhibitions
was over, and that only special displays
limited to few subjects would hence
forward be in favor. but that has not been
the real tendency. Chicag0's Worlds
Fair is the biggest general exhibition ever
held.
The Antwerp display Is the most i'm
portant one abroad Immediately in sight,
but on the whole one may doubt whether
it can be made as attractive Is it is posi-
BILE to render the fair in Golden GAZE Park
Assurediy it cannot approach the Mid
winter Fair in the beauty OF external sur
roundings, and the selection of exhibits
readily obtainable at Chicago ought to fill
up all the space available with brilliant
results. Some draft upon Chicago will
doubtless be made both by Antwerp and
Madrid, and therefore activity should be
shown in completing the arrangements for
San Francisco.
Antwerp has nothing in scenic intere t
worth going mile to see, but in buildings,
history in richly historical country, art
and industry it is perhaps the most at
tractive city Of the Netherlands. Brussels.
thirty miles distant, is gay and radiant as
a miniature Paris. but its boulevards are
simply lines of snowy architecture and lot
so interesting to the mind as the old, uuain t
districts with t0rtuous streets. Antwerp
is full of Quaintness. and it has the grand

with rich. towering spire, from the sum-

MAKES THE BEST ARMOR.

Commodore Sampson says that the
United States makes the best armor in the
world and makes it cheaper than other
nations are able to produce it. The nickel
addition to the steel plate costs the United
States but S11 % a ton against $40 paid
by the French Government to the Cruez0t
works. In the face of these results free
traders should be little more modest in
the assertions of their opinion. Had a
tariff for revenue been the policy of our
Government during the last twenty years

THE SMASH IN CHICAGO.

1t is mistake to class the failures at
Chicago among the commercial events of
the day. They have really nothing to do
with the values of wheat, pork and lard,
Gamblers of the type of Jack Cudahy
speculated in grain and provisions as they
might have speculated in jack-straws or
bet on feeble races, because there was an
outfit at Chicago for such speculations on
a large scale. They staked their money
on the rise or the fall OF articles Of food
as they might have staked it on the ace or
the jack at faro layout. They were
bitten with the fever of aRio and the
pit offered the most acceptable field Tor

knights Temp1ar.
ISnecial to the Press.l

RocKLAND. July Palestine Com
mandery, K. T., of Belfast. and DeVa-
lois Commandery, Z. T., of Vinalhaven,
are the guests of Claremont Command
cry in this city. The first day of the re-
ception has been one of prolonged en-
joyment, and the weather, which prom
ised SO ill early in the morning, all that
the most exacting could wish. The visit
ing Communicates on the steamer Cover
nor Bodwell from Vinalhaven, and the
Florence from Belfast, arrived at Till
sons wharf at 1890 a. M, where they
were received by Clarement Command
cry, and the parade began. The march
up Sea street to Main, and over the sub
sequent route to Rankin block, was a
most beautiful pageant, and the sun
emerging from the frowning clouds
smiled serenely on the marching hosts.
After marching up Beech street, past
numerous houses decorated in honor of
the event, a halt was made at the resi-
dence of Sir Knight Frank G. Knight,
who as Rockland's chief magistrate de-
livered up to the visi tors the City's keys.
Here the Communicates were delight
fully entertained for nearly an hour, a
llSuI 1uuCn U0luS SOIVOu. AAOUuCI sup
was made on Middle street at the beau
tifully decorated residence of Eminent
Sir w. A. Allbee, Past Commander.
Here followed an informal reception
given by the Ladies' Committee of which
Mrs. Allbee was chairman, and the Sir
Knights were not allowed to depart with
out first having been the recipients of
bouquets. At the foot of Middle street
electric cars were taken for Camden and
the visitors enjoyed an hours ride
among what they called Maine's finest
scenery. Dinner was served at the Bay
View Hotel, followed by parade over
the principal streets. On the return
brief stop was made at the residence of
Sir Herbert L. Shepherd of Rockport.
The Bay Point hotel has been the scene
of festivities tonight in the shape of a
banquet followed by grand ball, the
Sir Knights in full uniform.

The Grand Old Man Pushing His
Bill To Its Passage.
GLADSTONE UNDISTURED BY
CRIES OF SHAME.

Instead, He Takes Advantage of the Con-
fusion to Carry Motion that Re-
port of Progress Be Made-The Com
mons Considered as Much of the Bill
LONDON, July 6.-The House OF Com
mons was crowded tonight with persons
eager to see clause of the home rule
bill forced through the Commons. Mr..
Balfour of the Unionists, was in the
middle of a sentence when "Big Benz
struck TO- He did not wait to finish it
and resumed his seat amid deafening
opposition cheers and cries of ''shame''
and ''gag." Almost Immediately,
Chairman Mallor put the question of the
last unionist amendment. His voice
was hardly audible in the din. Cheers
and counter cheers resounded as Mr..
Gladstone and his colleagues trooped
OUT into the division lobby. The amend
ment was lost 524 70 2S6, and
and clause 5, which concerns
the Irish executive authority,
was passed, 324 to 2S9. Clause 6, which
provides for an Irish parliament with a
legislative council of 48 members, passed
without debate, 315 to 800. Clause 7,
which provides for the constitution of
the Irish legislative assembly, was car
ried, 325 to 2Se. Clause s, which con-
templates cases of disagreement between
the two houses of the Irish legislature,
was carried, 232 to POI. The confusion
gave Mr.. Gladstone an opportunity
to move that the committee rise and re-
port progress. The motion was carried
before the Conservatives fairly realized
what was being done. Mr.. Gladstone
hastily left the house. The opposition,
after denouncing the premier for his
summary method of cutting off further
discussion, agreed to motion to adj
journ. A page and half of the bill
were pushed through committee
this evening. This is almost as much
space as the house in committee has dis
posed of in all previous sittings.
