PLATE GLASS.

Plate glass has become one Of the
necessities of modern life. Not only in
residences IS it brought into constant
use, but in the new retail stores obStruc-
ton to light is minimiZed, brick has
given way to steel, and the fronts are
immense plates of glass. Go where you
will OH the older streets, and the old
fronts are being taken out and the
building modernized with plate glass to
suit the demands of the trade and the
customers for more light. The dingy
interiors are giving way to those filed
with light from fronts with single plates
of glass.
With this change comes the question
abf cost. This affects not alone the
owner Of the building. but the renter;
not him alone, but his customers. II
the landlord incurs a greater expense,
he recoups in increased rent. The mer-
chant recoups in additional prices for
his wares. And so the condition of the
plate glass industry comes in its last
incidence to be matter Of interest to
all who buy.
There are six companies engaged in
the making of plate glass, who own the
eight factories where it is made. The
understanding" which these makers
had is now merging into a more solid
form; the companies are to be consol-
idated into trust. The stock will be
Watered to reduce the percentage of
profits. One of the companies, the
Pittsburg Plate Glass company, after
having increased its stock to buy
another plant at Fancy price, is worth
5000 a share at a par of 500, and
last year on this it declared dividends
of 81 per cent.
There is practically no competition in
the plate glass business. The home
competition has ended in home combi-
nation while tariff averaging last year
115.17 per cent has shut out intruders
from other countries, except where su-
perior quality has been considered
compensation for the increased cost.
Notwithstanding the profitableness Of
the business, we may expect, when con-
greS5 meets and the ways and mea ms

1t Is to Be Made in Il Picturesque
War Ship.
Within a stones throw of the tall
lighthouse at the extreme northeast por-
tion Of the park, lashed by rough sea,
is the picturesque war ship in which
the naval department will make its eX-
hIbit. The cruiser is constructed on
piling driven in the bottom of the lake
in such manner as to give the impress
sion that it is real war vessel of the
navy department. The exhibit was
conceived by Capt. r. w. Meade, of
the United States navy, who was
placed in charge. and he has
succeeded in collecting an exhibit
which will be of great interest. The
ship is 3S4 feet in length, SiXty-fOur feet
in width and twelve feet from the main
deck to the water line. Since the eX
hibit was placed, the entire ship has
been freshly painted, and when the fair
opens, everything will be i'll readiness
to receive the visitors As Capt. Meade
and Lieutenant Commander Taussig are
both sick, Lieut.. Helm, superintendent
of the installation of the exhibit, is i'll
charge of the boat.

Lieutenants Barrett and C0lum, of the

will go into camp on tue government
plaza. Every arrangement is being
made for their reception. A IeallStlc
appearance has been effected by the
presence of guns, turrets, torpedo tubes
and nets and other appliances found
aboard a man-of-war. The vessel will
be manned during the fair by
detail of officers and sea
men, and the same discipline
will be maintained that obtains
OH board a war ship. a part of the
days exercises will be boat and gun
drills, and will afford the public an OPP
portunty of witnessing the manipula-
ton of the devices of a war ship. In
cuded i'll the display are numerous
cannon. Gatling guns and torpedo
tubes. The collection of exhibits has
been exhaustive, and many relics of the
navy from I715 to the present time will
add to the interest IN the display. The
whole exhibit will be novel attraction
for the majority of the public. and will
be positive pleasure to the sea-faring
men.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April 3O.-The wise
and able course of Secretary Carlisle
during the time he has been i'll charge
of the national treasury has accom-
pushed several feats that two months
ago were deemed next to impossible.
BY refusing to yield to the demands of
the New York bankers. who are.
whether justly or not. regarded with
suspicion i'll the South and West, he has
won to his side the representatives in
both branches of congress from those
sections, and there is now little doubt
that congress will repeal the Sherman
act promptly when called to meet i'll
extraordinary session next September.
This could not have been done had Mr..
Carlisle issued bonds wnen demanded
by Wall street, and his clear head at
once enabled him to arrive at that con-
cluSion.
By refusing a bond issue he demon
strated that his sympathies were with
the people of the country at large,
whose minds he knew much better than
the New York bankers, the ableSt of
whom are provincial to degree hardly
realized by the people of the East. Mr..
Carlisle, however, in declining to meet
the demands of the NeWYork financiers,
took advantage of the occasion and
drove home several good arguments
favorable to the
IeenaaI of the sherman Act.
which were received with consideration
by the South and West, simply because
of his action on the bond matter.
The utter uSelessness Of buying silver
and storing it in the treasury was
shown by an effective object lesson, and
it has counted. Congressmen, who in
February were ready to proceed to any
length in fight against the repeal OF
the Sherman act, are now convinced OF
thein mistake, and will be found on the
other side next fall.
The accomplishment of this divorce
of the national treasury from Wall
street is move that of itself will go
far toward popularizing the admins
tratpn with large class of voters III
the West and South, who have been OPP
posed to Wall street domination. 1t re-
Quired no small amount of courage on
the part OF Secretary carlisle ana
the president to mark out. and follow
this course, and the former, even now,
is being grossly misrepresented in New
York. Only few weeks ago the flnan-
ca! writers and leaders of the metrOp
oils Iwere lauding him to the skies and
protesting to believe that he would
make the greatest secretary in the later
history of the republic. Today these
same writer's and leaders consider his
course weak and childish" The peo-
pie. however. will have no difficulty in
making up their minds as to the causes
for this remarkable change OF opinion
in Wall street. aud their decision will
not be unfavorable to Mr.. Carlisle.

THE sECRETARY's TALK.

The qualification is but natural that
Secretary CARLISLE expressed TO the
bankers whom he met in New York the
other day the same views of the Situa-
ton, its causes and the best course to
pursue that the GLOBE has advocated.
1t reassures one to find that matters of
national finance are not the incompre-
henSible affairs which only a few minds
endowed by heaven with genius which
it kindly denies to the mass of men can
grasp, and that they are, after all, only
matters OF plain, everyday common
sense.
The reports of whatlMr CARLISLE
said to the bankers come from so many
different sources and are in such gen
eral accord that very much more than
the usual authenticity of newspaper
specials attach to them. He assured
them, of course, that he would maintain
the parity between gold and silver as
long as he could. He could maintain it
possibly permanently by issuing bonds
with which to buy gold. He can main
tain it without issuing bonds only as
long as there remains gold in the treas
ury applicable to redemption purposes.
AS there is more than doubt about his
authority to issue bonds to get gold with
which to redeem anything but the legal
tenders or greenbacks, his statement is
equivalent to saying that he will not
issue bonds.
This is supported by his statement
that the country might as well under
stand that the present conditions are due
TO the SHERMAN act, and that he be-

up all the newspapers 'that so largely
mould and shape public opinion"
whose subsequent course he portrays in
those vivid cOlors, the art of laying on
which he so well understands. These
subsidized papers 'go down" of course,
but before retiring "it judiciously
wields the poisoned knife with supreme
cunning, and stabs right and left to
earn its reward, until it leaves Truth
with a capitaD helpless and bleeding
from hundred wounds" "The re-
formers must absolutely own the news
papers," the reformers being the only
incorruptible portion of humanity. That
is what the Representative is here for.
From the same authoritative source
we learn that the policy of the paper is
to be fair and tolerant. Nothing is
ever to be gained by abuse. If man
differs with US we shall try to show that
he is wrong; but we shall not jump on
him and call him names or make faces
at his grandmother" The editor of a
Freeborn county paper, having eX-
pressed an opinion adverse to annual
sessions Of the legislature, Il. d." in
another place tries to show him that he
is wrong. He does this in his usual
mild and persuasive way. He does not
jump on HIM or abuse him. AS illus.
tratons of the persuasive art the
GLOBE cannot resist the impulse to give
its readers few of the arguments by
which Il. d." endeavors to convince
the editor of this country paper of the
error of his views: HAS the fool-killer
ever visited Freeborn county ?" he
asks. "If he did. let him call again
and complete his work" son. would
that the editor of the Albert Lea Enter
prise and every other unlimited. incom-
prehensible, exquisite, unadulterated
fool like him." etc. "The bowling der
wishes of the country press like this
Albert Lea phenomenon"
That's enough. If the editor of the
Enterprise is not now persuaded that
annual sessions are just the right and
needed thing. and that his repugnance
to them is unfounded and mistaken,
then there is no virtue left in persua-
sion, and we really fear that 81. D." will
have to abuse him and jump on him,
and in case that all this should fail, he
will be driven to the dernier resort of
making faces at the editors grand
mother. That will fetch him. 1t only
remains to add the perhaps superfiuous
statement that 81. D." is IGNA1IUS

lieved that the only way to bring the
silver communities to realize the evil
effects of that law is to let them have
little experience with the business de-
preston sure to result from it. The
bankers who listened to the secretary
gathered from what he said that if the
present condition continues to its inev-
liable end, and the resultant difference
in the price Of things sold, as they are
paid for in silver notes or greenbackS,
is brought TO the personal experience OF
those communities afflicted with the sill
yer craze. their representatives Will
come down to congress in September
with more lucid ideas Of the financial
course the government should take. A
little spasm of hard times is just the
medicine they need to bring them to
their senses.
This means that the secretary be-
lieves that it is time for this country to
quit financial aeronautics and get down
to solid earth, and if in getting down
and i'll order to get down, it is necessary
to take tumble and get few hard
bumps. it will all the more forcibly i'm
press on the comprehension of some
people the folly and unWisdom of ever
financiering in the clouds. The
GLOBE is glad to be in accord with the
secretary.

The Great New Englander Making
Estimates for q Tariff Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The prepar-
alton of a tariff measure is huge
undertaking, and cannot be done in
few weeks by even the able members Of
the committee Of the New York Reform
club appointed for that purpose, though
they work amid the blase of trumpets
and are photographed daily at work
and when resting from their labors.
The bill prepared by this committee
was rushed through entirely too hastily,
and for that reason has not commanded
the serious consideration OF any one.
But this administration does propose to
reform and reduce the tariff, and to do
the work wisely and well. The most
eminent authorities on taxation IN the
country are being set at WorK. Inc
New York Reform club is an unrlyaied
engine of agitation, but 1t Will not be
given the preparation OF "admlnlStra-
ton tariff measures"
Several weeks ago David A. Wells
was summoned to Washington by Pres
ident Cleveland and requested to pre-
pare figures showing the sources OF
government revenue and probable Ell
fects of reduction in certain lines, and
he is now at work. A quarter OF a
century ago Prof. Wells was sum-
moned by another president and set to
work on the same line. He commenced
protectionst and ended a radical free
trader. One of his reports was sup
pressed when partially printed and
Prof. Wells retired from the govern
ment seryice-not before, however. he
had converted to his views no less en-
inent a member of the Republican
party than James A. Garfield.
To this man, confessedly the best
posted in the United States on the sub
ject of taxation, has been conided the
task of preparing estimates upon which
the next tariff bill will be framed. The
internal revenue receipts are almost
sufficient to pay the expenses of tie
government aside from the sums needed
for pensions and interest. The amount
needed for pensions reaches S12. 100000
annually, which is swelled by from $780,,
000, 900 to S60,000,000 for new pension
certificates which carry large arrear-
ages. This latter amount Prof. Wells
does not regard as legitimate charge
on the tax list, and be has suggested
that it be met by the issue of certificates

the tariff could be reduced from an
average of so per cent ad valorem to 30
