TIE attempt to utilize the tremendous
power of Niagara falls for the purpose of
generating electricity is about to be put
into practical experiment. Next month
ought to see thorough test OF the great
undertaking. The huge turbines OF 5000
horse power are destined to supply the
local district as we'll az Buffalo with q
magnificent driving force, night and
day, without any expenditure for fuel,
and only repairs and renewals of ma
chinery to think about. Economically
great achievements are possible in man
ufacturing with this constant service
available. There are still some points
to settle experimentally as to the volt
age pressure the nost suitable. Prof.
George Forbes, the consulting engineer,
is of opinion that a pressure of 10000
volts can be generated safeiy, and that
this would saTe great deal in copper
but timidity stands in the way, and the

The PORTLAND OREGoNIAN, q free-trade
paper under the thirty years Of Rspub-
lican rule in America, has come out
against the Wilson tariff in the most
direct language. 1t says, amongst

any restoration of prosperity in the west

sisted and beaten" The fear OF g rival

JUsr how the wool interest is to be
jeopardized by reduction of the duty
on foreign woods, is not plain to the eye
of the obeervant and reasoning man OF
business. The Ohio shepherds who
watched their hocks by night" and
watched William MCKINLEY little
more 80, thought they had achieved the
summit of their ambition when they
got the wool tariff screwed up to the
figures they desired. But after the new
tariff came into effect, wool failed to
rise. In fact, it fell off lower than it had
been in two years OF the Morrill,
tariff; and in three years OF the Walker
tariff, which imposed less tax than
that of the New Hampshire senator.
Wool lie thing that obeys greater
law than any enacted by McKinley-the
law of supply and demand.

THE acouittal OF Jefferis, accused Of
the murder of Miss Olga Ayres at
Brighton station, near Sacramento, WAS
a foregone conclusion. Whatever may
have been the grave opinion as to his
guilt, it was clearly the duty of the
prosecution to prove him as present at
Brighton station on the night of the
murder and fire; and that failing, no
sensible or intelligent jury could con-
vict him.
