PRETTY NEAR FREE TRADE.

Ii the Tariff Reform Club is permitted to
frame the reform tariff that Mr.. Cleveland
has promised the people the country will
be plunged somewhat more than half way
into abs sOlute free trade. Raw materials
are TO be free and the duties on manufac-
lured goods are 10 be light enough to per-
nit of large mports tions. The bill as out
lined is pretty much on the lines laid down
by Thomas G. Shearman in his series of
tariff letters addressed to Mr.. Cleveland.
A radical change is made from specific 10
ad valorem duties. The specific duty is a
feature of a protective tariff. 1t provides
that certain rate of duty shall be levied on
an article without regard TO its market
price. For example, the duty on tin plate
is 2.10 cents pound. Whether tin plate
sells for 81 or IS per hundred pounds
in the market the foreign article must pay
81 10 in duties. The ad valOrem rate would
be about 60 rer cent, the exact rate depend
ing upon the prize of tin plate al different
times in the market. TIE tariff reform bill
makes the rate uniform at 90 per cent.
This is not in any sense a protective duty.
1t will not keep the American mills alive.
but will afford the Government some reve-
nue. from the imported article. Wool is to
be admitted Free but the manufactures of
wool will bear uniform rate of 25 per cent.
The manufactures of wood go from 80 per
cent TO 20. A % pe- cent limit seems to
have been established in the minds of the
tarff-smashers
The good thing about this proposed bill is
its exceeding badness. No Congress will be
mad enough to pass such bill. The man
ufacturing industries Of the country could
only survive the enforcement Of such tariff
by reducing labor c0rrespondingly. We
should become in a short time nation of
grain and cotton growers. The bill as out
lined is constructed or the revenue for tariff
only principle. Its object is lot to encour-
age American industries but TO provide the

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF.

Political prophets declare with much
assurance that Mr.. Cleveland cannot
possibly be a candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1896. In making this predic-
tion they appear to be reckoning with
out Mr.. Cleveland 1t is true no man
has yet been elected to third term, but in
many respects Mr.. Cleveland is a precedent
for himself. Because no man has vet done
thing Is no reason why Mr.. Cleveland
should not do it. 1t is becoming more clear
each day that Mr.. Cleveland does not meas
ure himself by the same tape-line that has
served for others. He compares himself
only with himself. He has yet to discover
his limitation. There is danger that the
idea he seems TO have conceived of himself
may lead to an impeachmenttr trial; but if he
escapes that he may appear in the next
Democratic national convention with long
string of otfice-h holders at his heels.

WHAT HE IS THERE FOR.

The Atlanta Constitution has resorted to
elementary mathematics and found that
Georgia is entitled to 24S7 offices. The Her
0d Of the same city says that Mr.. Hoke
smith is in the Cabinet to see that Georgia
gets her share. 1t has some doubts about
hlr. Smiths ability to secure Georgfa's full
quota, but is confident that he will do his
level best" To slightly modify the class
cal language Of a certain delegate from
Texas, that is what he is there for. The
Herald lays down this novel principle:
These Offices belong to the people OF Georgia.
ana 10 nobody else, and the people OF Georgia
should see to it that they get what belongs TO
tlem- We do not care much vino gets the offices,
uul we DO protest against the palpable robbery
that would take Georgia's share and give # TO
some other State. Massachusetts has no more
ilshl to Georgia Office than a Massachusetts
mah has right TO take a GeorgIan's property.
mere should be justice aud honesty In the dis
tflouton Of Offices as well as In anything else.
The Federal Government does not cnt
much oi figure in the mind of our Georgia
friend.

glass is 10 per cent and by clear glass per
cent-that is, only per cent difference ia
the obstruction of light between a double
thick German clear and tine-ribbed plate
of the same thickness. Now, through plain
falls directly on the floor, and the clear
sunlight falls upon the looms OF frames in a
factory, making dark shadows, while with
the ribbed glass a diffusion is secured with
out glare, no window shades being needed,
and there are no dark shadows. Thus, in
the practical use of light, there is obtained
vast deal more from ribbed glass without
window shades than is possible from clear
glass with the window shades which are re-
Qulred on the south side. TEis principle
has just been applied, it seems to a conical
glass for placing under the arc light, thus
doing away with glare and shadow. The
dispersion of light through the ribbed glass
is found to be, relatively, GA per cent in
horizontal planes to 0 per cent in plain glass.

LondOn's Big Ben.


Between the palace yard at Westminster
and the top of the clock tower which marks
the hours for Parliament there are 42O stems.
The clock from which Big Ben strikes
the hour is the largest in the world. Look
ing at the dial from the northern fOptwav Of
Great George street, or from the embank
ment, 1t looks as il its diameter might he
equal to the space that a man IF medium
size could cover with outstretched arms.
This estimate hardly does the dial Justice
for its diameter is twenty-three feet From
the ground the minutes on the dial look
like ordinary minutes, and as If thew were
close together. As a matter of fact. thew
are foot apart. The numerals are two feat
long. The minute-hand, with the counter
balance-the heavy end that projects he
yond the center OF the dlal-is fifteen feet in
length. This hand is so massive that dur
ing a snowstOrm sometimes the clock is
retarded by the weight of the flakes that
alight upon it.
Twenty men could stand under Big Ben
in rainstorm and escape wetting if the
rain fell in an exact perpendicular and
stayed where it fell.
The new light at the top of the Parlia-
nent tower Is forty-three steps higher than
Big Ben. The old light was twenty-four
steps higher still. The new light ia Of 2O00
candle-power. When the light is being
fixed two men stand In the lantern. and
they have plenty of room. The Parliament
light Is now a conspicuous object in London.

THE THING Now TO DO.

The unique and unparalleled genius who
presides over tine deslinies of the lingo In
dependent says that San Francisco mer-
chants are begging outsiders to come and
help them. What the Independent says Of
the present was partially true two years
ago But it is not true now. They have
helped themselves. The Southern Pacific
which at one time held the trade of this
city in its hand, now has to scramble for
business like an ordinary common carrier.
Between clipper ships and Panama steam
ers the merchants of this city can get goods
at cost which will enable them TO sell over
large part of its former territory. The
thing that now remains for the merchants
to do is to perfect means Of cheap communf-
cation with the interior

MUST PAY IN THE END

The Downieville Messenger considers the
railroad baek-tax question too valuable to
politicians TO permit of hope of its early
settlement. If the railroad back-tax ques-
ton is not settled now 1t will be the faul. Of
the company which has been required TO
pay Its taxes. 1t is no longer valuable
question for politicians. Political reputa-
tlons are now more likely 10 be lost In the
service OF the Southern Pacific Company
than to be made. There was time when
an asprant for office made his first call at
the Fourth and Townsend streets office.
Now he prepares an affidavit showing that
for long period of years he has held no
relations with the dethroned boss of the
Southern Pacific Company. Whether the
company will pay its back taxes or fight

G. NJ. Flint assistant secretary of the
Citizens Municipal League OF Oakland, fur
nishes the following resolutions adopted at
a meeting of the committee Of managers of
the league:

OF Oakland wishes 10 recognize the obligations il

maintained In favor OF the attempt made bv the
league 10 wrest the government Of Oakland from
the control OF the men who so long have proved
upon Its treasury and brought reproach upon its
good name.

oSlty which could have had no melting motive
aside from love of dec ncy and good government

their editorial and repOr,orlal columns, given
valuable assistance and great encouragement I'm

Its high appreciation. and Tor which II returns lis
grateful acknowledgements.

Matching Lost Buttons.
Lipplncott's Magazine.

11IPPtIINUIlo
Not long since l discovered a man in New
York who makes a specially of matching
lost buttons. His shop, a dngy little low
celiinged room. was surrounded by shelves,
on which were piled boxes of buttons of
all sorts and conditions. While l was there
a girl came in and asked him if he had any
like those on her jacket. He took down
several specimens and presently found one,
which he sewed on. She paid him 10 cents
That is the,usual price, though rare buttons
sometimes come higher.
AT regular intervals he goes round col
ecting buttons among tailors and dress
makers, who save them for him and sell
them very cheap. He has a set of regular
customers, and they rarely go away with
out finding exactly what they want.
