ReYiying Industry.

The New York Tribupe is SO deter
mined to have tariff scare follow the
monetary panic that it said a day or
two ago that more manufactures are
closing than opening. It's own news
columns, if honestly conducted, refute
this new calamity howl Yesterdays
merning and evening newspapers re-
corded the resumption of work in forty
establishments, most OF them laEge
ones. The number of men reported as
put to work was over 10000, and the
humber not specified would undoubted-
ly raise the total TO 10000: Not a sin
gle shutdown was reported! This ia
but an example of the recovery that
has been going on since the strong
vote in the House repeating the silver
purchase lazy. The improvement has
received new stimulus by the sure
prospect of repeal in the Senate. It
Is seen In the money and the stock
markets. 1t extends all oyer the coun-
try. Our news columns to-day tell a
most encouraging story of reviving in
dustry. Why should any newspaper
seek to discredit or belittle this recov-
ery? Does the Tribune's Indebtedness
to the protected monopolies extend SO
far as to impel it to try and frighten
away returning prosperity by a new
and senseless tariff scare? Such a
course strikes us as bad journali sm and
poor patriotism.-Ne York World.

Pretty WOrk-BasketS,

Attractive little work baskets seen at
the exchanges look as if they dated
back a hundred years or more. They
are made of a rectangular piece of
cardboard at the bottom. Two long
narrow pieces for the sides join the
shorter pieces used for the ends, all
cut so that they flare sharply at the
top. Each piece is covered Oh both
sides either with China silk or cretOnnc,
and the pieces are neatly overhanded to-
gether. with Il silk or cotton that
matches the ground color of the cover
ing. Cardboard or a strip of leather,
also covered, is used for a handle. III
side the baskets are little shirred pock-
cts and a small fiat cushion. The
quaintness of the baskets il best at
tained when some neat, quiet little
pattern is used for the covering. Per
sian or tiny flower patterns are the
most pleasing.-New York Evening

Volcanoes of the World To-day

In the various volcanic regions of the
earth there are nearly $50 volcanoes
which still have eruptions at longer or
shorter intervals. About 200 of these
are on the shores of and islands in the
Pacific. They are to be found in every
land with the single exception of Aus
tralia. In Europe there are three dis
tinct volcanic centers, Italy, Iceland
and the Azores. AS q result of the
volcanic action in Iceland, and the fre-
quent eruptions which take place in
that country, 2,40O square miles of its
area are covered with lava, while
many of its ioe hills are the result of
volcanoes frequently emitting mud and
ashes. The most terrific eruption in
Iceland in the present century threw
o1t a lave stream forty-six miles in
length and nearly fifteen miles in
breadth. Stromboh Is in such con-
stant eruption that 1t has been named.

An Experiment in Air Navigation.

An Experiment in Air Navigation.
Preparations are being made in Paris
for Il balloon experiment. the success
Of which would mark a distinct advance
in air navigation. NJ. de Savine intends
to start in the car of balloon from the
Champ de Mars, and is confident of be-
ing able to reach Russia in a few days
without his balloon having descended.
If this attempt succeeds, it may be pos
sible with the apparatus NJ. de Sevine
has invented to undertake the eXplOra-
ton Of the polar and other unknown
regions, which till now have been mac
cessible. N. de Savine recognizes that
motive power is at present pOwerless
to overcome atmospheric currents, but
he thinks he has solved the problem of
utilizing these currents, which at vari-
Gus heights are so different and numer-
Gus. An ordinary gas balloon, coupled
underneath to a Montgolfier, will be
used. The balloon will contain 5000
cubic meters of gas, and is to be strong
enough to carry the whole weight of
the apparatus required.

FIRST ELECTRIC CAR IN AMER
ICA,

1t Was Run in baltimore Seven
Years Ago, and Is Now Olh-Fa"h-
toned.
In the car barns Of the Baltimore City
and Suburban road, near the corner OF
Huntingdon avenue and Oak street, Is
a relic which President Perrin thinks
will figure in Il museum one of these
days, when rapid transit, by electricity
especially, has completely revolution
lied Baltimore, and made the city's
progress and development a matter OF
record, says the World.
Half hidden with cObwebs and dust,
and pushed in one corner to make room
for the vehicles in daily use, is a car
which is historic, for it is the first real
electric car ever run in the United
States and the second in the world,
Germany claiming the honor for the
other.
1t was in the summer of 1886 that
the City and Suburban secured the now
old-fashioned motor and put 1t into
operation, but. while the concern was
practically a failure, electricians from
all parts of the country fiOcked this
way to see the novelty tested, and
the car was a drawing card for the
time being In the spring of the same
year w. II. Daft, the distinguished
electrician and scientist OF New York,
was requested to come to Baltimore by
the Suburban Railway company,
through President Perrin, with eXpectas
tions that he would be able to make
practicable the problem of faster street
ioesmotiQn by electricity. After no end
of experiments, failures and delays,
Aug. 26, 1886, just seFeR years ago,

Morse made its first trip, which met
ali EGGnirements and was pronounced Il
success.
The trailer attached, with it's twenty
FIVE passengers, covered THE distance
of 2 1-s miles in five minutes time,
a rate Of speed equal TO the rapid flyers
OF to-day. The road was kept in opera
tiSas some time and then the company
began the smpr6Veme which are sun
under way, at a tc -""t Of over Sl.9ootoo9;; .;
The old Morse" while af'a1tAs wen
enough for the time, did not answe4
quirements, because a ground current
was used, and frequent accidents Oc-
CURED through contact of wires win
gas pipes and the like, and stoppages
and delays finally became so numer-
Gus that horses again replaced the
cOup-shaped motor car, while the $4,000
Daft relic was stabbed as a trophy on
Huntingdon avenue, to be still later
supplanted by the improved type Of
rapid transit vehicles.

one Of the Frauds who Tempt sIm~

I was in Barclay street the other day
when a big, suspicious-looking man
touched my elbow and asked me to step
aside for moment, says the Detroit
Free Press When he had stopped, he
looked all around to see Of there was a
policeman in sight, and then whispered:
Please don't give me away. am an
unfortunate man and have been driven
TO do wrong. Can you make use OF
these?"
He held out pair Of eyeglasses,
which looked to be worth 81 or So, and
continued:
Il may as well tell you the truth,
stole these to get bread for my family.
You can have them for dollar"
NO, thanks"
"SeVenty-fye cents"

McKInleyi,m Must Go.


The American people at the polls In
1890 and again in 1892 repudiated Nc
Kinleyism and it must go. The Ameri-
can people have given protection an
ample trial aud they are tired OF it.
Its benefciaries have grown steadily
more and more aggressive and disre-
gardful OF the rights of the public un-
til nothing remains but to sweep from
the statute books the last vestige of
class-leaislation which finds its highest
exemplication In the form of Mckinley
ism. The steadily increasing ayarice
OF the tariff barons forms an interest
ing study. When the Constitution was
adopted and the government settled
down to business thereunder the first
tariff was levied for revenue solely.
1t was necessary to indulge In indirect
taxes, for the people were chary
of public burdens and customs
duties furnished an ample field
for operations. Shrewd, designing men
soon saw that the adjustment OF the
various duties might be so made as to
furnish form of bounty to private in
terests and incidental protection, " fol-
lowed wherever such protection would
also increase the revenues. Revenue
was still foremost. Then followed
straight tariff for revenue with Incl
dental protection, Then the incidental
feature was knocked out. After various
vicissitudes and nearly a century OF
time following tariff for protection
with incid entail revenue. came the Nc
Kinley tariff for protection solely with
out regard to revenue. And the
revenue is suffering. Each month under
the operation of McKinleyism, sees a
reduction in the customs receipts, while
at the same time the expenses of the
government under Republican laws are
heavier than ever Give us economy in
national expenditures and relief from
the burden OF McKinleyism.- .-Des
