We are wont to look upon the extraor-
binary situations created by the novelist

but the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and
of a host of imitators never conjured up
from imaginations vivid with research

common in New York that they are
swallowed up in the great maelstrom OF

Persons desiring to visit the Chicago
fair in their own yacht or small craft
can go there via the st. Lawrence river
if their vessels do not exceed 183 feet in
length, 2S feet beam and feet draught.
They can sail to Quebec, tow up to Mon
treal, pass through the Lachine canal,
nine miles long, and be piloted thence
to Chicago. This is the best way for
large yachts to go. Smaller craft, es-
pecially if steam propelled, may go by
the Erie canal, 352 miles from Albany to
Buffalo, but they must not exceed 100
feet in length, or 6 feet draught, nor
must they exceed 10 feet inches above
the water line, in order to pass under
the bridges. There are 72 locks on the
canal and 4 miles an hour is the speed
limit.

The true Site OF the Garden Of Eden

The true site of the Garden of Eden
has been the subject of almost endless
controversy and conjecture. The three
continents of the old world have been
gone over by the theologians and anti
quarians in vain search for its most
probable location. From China to the
Canary islands and from the Mountains
of the Moon to the coast of the Baltic,
each country has been the subject of
careful search. Every spot in Europe,
Asia and Africa that could possibly be
the place designated in the first chapter
of Genesis has been examined, and yet,
says the Philadelphia press, no place has
been found that corresponds even in
the slightest degree with the scriptural
tors of the human race. One of the
most ancient opinions, that given by
Josephus, is that it was the country
whit h lies between the Ganges and the
Nile. This view imagines Eden as being
very widely extended country, embrac-
ing all that vast territory which is
bounded on the east by the Indus, and
on the west by Egypt's great water
course. As the Garden is said to
have been "to the eastward in Eden. "
Josephus places it definitely in the val
ley of the Euphrates. Won Hammer,
the famous oriental scholar, places it in
Bactria; others locate it in Babylonia,
at the confluence of the Euphrates and
the Tigris. Captain Wilford, a profound
student of eastern antiquaries, has
labored for years to locate Eden in
Bamian, south of the Koosh mountains.
Buttman puts in down as being in India /;
Heider, in his 'tHistory of Mankind" F"
identifies it with the present vale of
Cashmere. Many oriental sects believe
it was on the island of Ceylon, while the
Greeks place it at Beth Eden, on Leba-
non. Lastly, many eminent scholars
regard the whole story as being gigan-
tic myth

How much revenue does your
Tariff bill cut off? Some say S4O,-
900, 900, some $4,000, 900, some
$50, 900, 900. AS the internal reve-
nue. taxes will have to be screwed
up, or some mex tax or taxes i'm
posed to make up for the loss, it is
rather important to know what the
loss will be. And yet it must be
difficult to estimate. 1t is conceiv-
able that a close calculator might
be 20,000,O00 or so astray IN his
calculations.

The Wilson Bill.

The bill to paralyze the country's
industries, miscalled the ''Wllson
tariff bill'' has at last been made
public. With the exception of some
determinations made in favor of the
south, it certainly fulfills the ex-
pectations of the most ardent tariff
hater. 1t is in fact southern
measure, aimed to cripple the
business of the progressive north
while doing as little harm as posi-
bic to the sluggish south. Coal,
iron ore, wool and many other
products are shifted from the pro-
tected to the free list, while steel
rails and other iron products, pot
terry, glass and other wares suffer
big cuts. If the bill becomes law,
it simply means industrial death to
manufacturing center like Pitts
burg.
The change from specific to ad
yalorem duties is another step
backward toward the old Demo-
cratic way of doing things which
the country long since outgrew.
Such slashlng of duties can have
but one effect. 1t means the shut
ting down indefinitely of the facto-
ries, furnaces and coke ovens. or it
means their operation on basis of /
European wages for labor. One or
the other must come to pass. In
either case, labor must suffer, for
labor's cause is inseparably connec-
ted with the cause of the nations
industrial independence.
Now, what Will the Democratic

tionally large proportion of the diff
ference in cost as between these and
fine goods is in labor, although the
English have acquired an expert
ness in the utilization of rags and
revamped fibres which it will re-
quire years to approximate in this
country. If this class of goods is
to continue to be made here under
such tariff, there must be an i'm
mediate reduction in current wages
of not less than 25 per cent. from
the rates which prevailed year ago.
Manufacturers fear that such a re-
duction In wages will make it diff
cult, if not possible, to equip their
mills with intelligent help. 1t is
certain that the goods which will
flood this country from England
under such tariff will be of a
vastly inferior quality as compared
with the product of American mills
now worn by the masses Of our peo-
pie.
"The worst section of the wooden
schedule is $50, covering blankets,
hats, Aannels, etc, and containing
three rates Of duty at 25, 30 and IS
per cent. ad valorem. This is a
close approach to the free trade tar
if of 1857, which was particularly
disastrous in its effects upon the
flannel and blanket manufacture
The percentage of labor cost in the
manufacture of these goods, under
40 cents a pound IN value, is quite
as large as in the more costly grades
the difference in prices being al
most wholly due to the use Of more
expensive stock. The only objec
and effect of this discrimination
appears to be to make it peculiarly
difficult to continue the manufac
ture of the cheaper grades of fan
nels and blankets -

JASPER FARMHOUSE,
Scheme for smokeIess Locomotives

Scheme for Smokeless Locomotives.
An arrangement of pipes and hot
air to consume the smoke of rail
road locomotives has been patented
by Superintendent Thos. Fitzgerald
and Master Mechanic E. L. White,
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The air is drawn from the air brake
cylinder on the outside of the loco
motive. 1t next passes through q
coil of pipes in the boiler, in order
that the air may be heated, after
which 1T is distributed among many
parallel pipes in the fire-box. The
pipes are perforated to allow the es-
cape of the air, which gives a greatly
increased draught in the box.
1t is expected that the new DEVICE
will better consume the coal, and
not allow so much unconsumed
material to escape through the
stack, and thus greatly reduce the
smoke nuisance. The patent is to
be tested, and if successful, may be
used on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.

The Message.

President Cleveland's message to
Congress IS disappointing The ex.
pectation of vigorous statement
of the policy of the administration,
in dealing with the depressed con-
ditlon of the country, has not been
realized. Nine-tenths of the mes
sage is devoted to summary of the
reports of the various executive de-
partments which have been in the
newspapers for a week. A great
deal of the matter which swells the
message to undue proportions is alb
solutely trivial, and might have
been safely left to the jurisdiction
of the departments, without being
thrust upon the attention of Con-
gress. The State Department has
been drawn upon for large num-
Der of incidents, already published
in the newspapers, to show that our
foreign relations are satisfactory
President Taylor $ famous sentence,
eve are at peace with all the worll /,
and the rest of mankind" would
have covered the whole subject.
Touching the currency, the
President recommends "rest." 1t
is quite plain that he prefers that
Congress should do nothing at all,
and let the bill repeating the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman act
work out its own results. On the
revision of the tariff, he is earnest,
but not aggressive. Behind his
-s.se-s----s----r-s.---~-
and longer free list, there turks a
secret apprehension, that after all,
his theory may not work success
fully when put into practice; and
before he closes he puts in plea
for the moderate protection of GER
tain industries, thereby overthrow
ing both his theory and his argu-
ment.
The president endorses the Will
son bill, and presses it upon Con-
gress as a measure calculated to
promote the general prosperity.
Without mentioning the Demo-
cratic members of Congress, who
represent mining aud manufacture
ing districts, he exhorts them to a
noble and self denying consider
alton of the interests of the whole
country, rather than the particular
and special interests of their own
constituents.
The President appears to have
no late information touching the
condition of affairs in Hawaii. He
holds that the government of the
queen was overthrow by the use of
United States troops and he pro-
poses to undo the wrong. This
would seem to mean the restoration
of the queen to her royal functions
as the head of the government. He
is awaiting adviceS as to what has
been done.

Cutting Into the American People.
The Democrats declare with loud
vociferation that they carried the
country on the ariff-for-revenue-
only issue, and that they must
carry out their instructions from
the people; and they get up bill
to cut at least $50, 900, 900 off the
ssses@sss--ssssz
pared tariff-for-spite- only.
They do not profess to have been
instructed by the people to put on
an income tax. That is not IN
their platform. 1t Is IN the Popu-
list platform. But the Democrats
are going to keep the Populist
pledge of an income tax, if they
can.
What they cut off the customs
revenue they must make up in some
way, and they will seek to do it by
cutting deeper into the American
people, who are to have their means
of earning cut into deep by the en-
largement of the free list and the
reduction of the dutiable list.
1t is tremendous cut into the
American people, Europe rejoices
and is exceedingly glad. Europe
knows It's business.
