will give brief outline. When in the
beginning OF the 10th century the Por-
tuguese appeared in Ceylon, Almeida
imposed upon the native prince tribute
of $50, 900 pounds of cinnamon, in ex-
change for which he was promised the
protection of the Portugal King, Don
Emanuel. AS the power of the Portu-
guese increased the trade became one of
the largest items of their income. By
and by they were driven by the Dutch
and they became lords of the island,
They allowed no one to plant or to
gather the precious spice for himself and
any evasion of the law was punished.
For a century they had the monopoly
which brought them yearly income OF
100000. The Dutch began to cult
vate it them selves in 1865. The natives
resisted in vain. They declared the
plants would die if cultivated artificially.
They did not want to lose the percent
age allowed them by the Dutch. The
plantations thrived for time, and then,
all at once, the plants died, and it was
found the roots had been watered with
boiling water. Severe punishments fol-
lowed and severe penalties were threat
ened to any one found guilty of injuring
a cinnamon plant. The plantation now
thrived and yielded enormously, rend
erng profit of 200 per cent. The Dutch
destroyed all in excess of the yearly de-
mand, so as to keep up the price. The
cinnamon gatherers were divided into
castles and were terribly oppressed. Ev-
cry male was compelled from his twelfth
year upward to furnish Sc pounds, in
creased as he grew older to GIG pounds.
The Dutch made over their monopoly to
the East India Company in return for a
yearly sum OF 10000 until the year 1878
when the colonial government took the
trade into their own hands.
The ginger root from which our spice is
made has been cultivated in the East In
dies from time immemorial, and is also
native in other tropical countries. The
plant (Zinziber officinale) has slender
stems from three to four feet in height
with sedgelike leaves. The flower ,stems
are from ten to sixteen inches long; the
flowers are oval in form, sheathed, OF a
whitish color with the lips streake1 with
purple. They only last few hours. The
roots are feshy and knotty when fresh.
They are prepared for the market by
seething and scalding in boiling water, or
by scraping and washing and subsequent
drying. The first method yields what is
called Black Ginger and the second White
Ginger, though the blacklist is only a
stone color and the whitest pale yellow,
unless bleached by chloride OF lime, a
process not to be commended. Ginger
was known to the Romans and is said by
Pliny to have been brought from Arabia.
There is a species cultivated in Java
called the Broad-leaved Ginger, the root
of which is not SO pungent as our we'll.
known spice. There are several other
varieties but little known in commerce.

Sena tor LopGE in an interview in tho
New York Tribune discloses tho hand OF
the Republican partisans who are OBJ
s,ructing repeal in the Senate.
He and Senator FRYE and other OF
the weightiest Republican leaders do
clare that while they favor repeal it is
useless TO think Of passing the repeal
bin at this session.
They know better, but their game Is
n possible, to destroy confidence 10 the
Senate and in the country in the posi-
bnity Of repeal and 90 defeat II and de-
stroy the Democracy.
The Democratic leaders should yield
to the appeal for Senatorial courtesy"
no longer. Il is simply another name
for the permission OF fibusLering.
Stop il aud pass the repeal bill. There
IS sure majority for it at present, but
delay and Republican trickery RIIl serve
only 20 reduce that majority.
The Democrats Of the Senate can rot
afford thus to play into the Republican
hand. Were the positions reversed they
can be sure that the Republicans would
make short work OF the Senatorial
courtesy business.

TIE RIGHT ROAD.

The Washington Post remarks in
double leads:
The way to force Europe 10 agree with
US upon international bimetaliism is for
the United States 10 stop buying silver
and buy gold.
The repeal of the Sherman law is only
tho first step. II we follow 1t up by get
ting our share Of the gold of the world,
we will compel England to come TO our
terms.
But what have we with which to buy
gold, except gold and to burden the
country with another issue of bonds?
Repeal the Sherman act, restore the
confidence Of the world In the stability
Of our currency and the United States
will not need to buy gold, 4 policy
which would still farther increase the
distance Of the two metals from pari-
ty.
Repeal the Sherman act and reform
the tariff so as the open the worlds
markets to American industry and the
gold tide will dow in our direction.

In Honor ok Glbbons and satolll.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, September 1.-THE
demonstration of laity in honor OF Car
dinal Gibbons and Mgr. Satolli, last
night. was on a grand scale, and ex-
ceeded anything Of the kind ever antic-
ipated in the West. The parade was
led by troop of horsemen, followed
by a fireworks brigade OF nine
companies, and there were
fully 1900 torchbearers. The
procession passed through gaily deco
rated streets and was cheered by thou
sands who thronged the sidewalks.
Passing st. Raphael's Cathedral, the
procession was reviewed by Cardinal
Gibbons, Mgr. SatollI, Archbishop Hon
nessey and other digpitaries. Imme-
diately after the parade there was a
display OF fireworks, the like OF
which was never seen here. The prin-
cipal piece was portrait of Archbishop
Hennessey, which was given an ovation
by ten thousand people who thronged
the street 10 front of the church. The
public reception which was TO have fol-
lowed this demonstration was aban-
doned owing 10 slight lndisposition OF
the Cardinal and the late arrival Of
Mgr. Satolli.

The Wisconsin Forest Fires.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, September TO-
While reports from northern Wisconsin
where the forest fires are raging are
somewhat more resssuring and the fires
in the forests are now abating, the great
danger to the threatened cities is
past, for the present at least.
The people at Marshileld be-
gin to feel more secure as the high
winds prevailing for the past twelve or
fifteen hours has gone down. Rain was
never prayed for with more fervor by
the residents of Northern Wisconsin
than it has been for the past three
weeks. For nearly month the forest
fires have been burning continually,aud
for the last two or three weeks they have
been Of serious proportions. Standing
timber worth millions Of dollars has
been sacrificed, while hondreds of poor
settlers have seen not only their HON es
but all their possessions swept away be-
fore the angry flood of flames, which
have assumed such proportions that
there will be widespread suffering and
deStitutiOO,

NOTES OF THE RIVER
News OF the Boats and Boatmen Along
the Ohio.


the Ohio.
The marks on the landing at mid
night indicated II inches OF water in
the channel and falling.
Capt John Todd, of Wheeling, a vet
eran river commander, is at st. Louis
visiting his son, Capt. Joe Told, OF the
steamer City of Sheffield.
w. II. Browns Sons new boat, the
Dick Brown, being built at Marietta, is
about flushed. She is a single decker
and has McConnell's patent machinery.
The heavy rains in West Virginia,
which swelled the Kanawha river, have
had the effect Of improving the stage OF
the Ohio very materially, and larger
boats are coming out.
The new government towboat build
ing at Jacksonville by the Sweeney
Foundry Company will be named after
General ]. l., Casey, chief Of United
States engineers, with headquarters at
Washington.
The Jennie Campbell was blown
aground by wind storm on Gallipolis
Island at / o'clock yesterday morning.
She cannot float until there is another
rise In the river. She partly wrecked
three barges, and one is sunk In the
channel opposite the government light,
which, it is thought, will prevent other
lows passing.
CINCINNATI, September 1.-THE first
wave of the approaching Kanawha
| swell arrived, as predicted, yesterday
afternoon, the marks at last evening
| showing 5 feet inches, a rise Of 3
inches. The morning and noon record
was 5 feet 6 inches, decline during the
previous night of 2 inches. The river
will rise rapidly to-day
There is another rise reported in the
dig Kanawha river and il Is expected
I that all the coal loaded there will be
got out of that river for Cincinnati.
This makes the third rise in that river
within a few weeks. River coalmen at
Plttsburg are good deal exercised in
regard TO so much Kanawha coal get
ting TO Cincinnati while the shipments
from here during same time did not
reach more than 100000 or 300, 600
bushels.
Capt Ira Huntington believes passen-
gers ought to be carried separate from
freight, and build fast steamers that
would run on schedule time. He has
| figured on a schedule, and thinks the
PIttsburg and Cincinnati trade II one Of
the best on Western rivers for passen-
ger travel, besides the scenery between
these points is as beautiful as is seen on
any river iu the country, with the ex-
ception OF the Hudson. Capt Hunting
ton thinks that the railroads would not
| injure the steamboats, with a fast line
of steamers that would run strictly on
time, and as for freight, IL can now be
transported much quicker and much
cheaper by water than by rail. GdIHpOIiS
