SOUND OPINIONS.

In these days. when such wild opin.
ions are rife, It is encouraging to read
the sound, conservative remarks which
President Hill OF the Great Northern
railway made last week In st. Paul, at
this banquet which the merchants
gave in compliment to him. Mr.. Hill
said:
JThe last month or six weeks has
been a stormy one financially. but the
country at large Is prospecting. The
conditions OF the country are more
than unusually favorable, and the con-
ditions of our northwest are certainly
AZ promising as they had been at any
time during the past 10 years. If there
N one thing more than another that
has caused these jolts. 1t is the attempt
on the part of those charged with our
Legislation to tinker with matters that
oonnot be controlled by legislation.
Commercial laws are as certain in their
oRNAaNAOiA 10 liAC laws VI nuNuiN. &Vili-
mercial laws carry with them the
means to execute themselves. They
enforce their own penalty. The con-
dition OF our country today is due to
our financial legislation. II we could
remove the so-called Sherman act we
would have what no country can do
without-we would have confidence;
but l think the United States today
stands better than any part OF the
world for investment. II we could re-
move the one condition brought about
through a want OF knowledge on the
part OF men who were responsible for
It. have no doubt we would begin an
era OF prosperity the like OF which we
have never had. You can no more
mend the financial or commercial con-
diiion by legislation than you can
mend broken limb by statute, and I
hope the time will come when our peo-
pie will see that the protection of every
the limit OF our legislation, and when
all our commercial matters will be
governed by commercial law and COM
merclal usages."
It may be seen that Mr.. Hill has the
fullest confidence in the revival Of pros
porlty In the Northwest, provided |
congress repeals the so-called Sherman
law, which has destroyed confidence
at home and abroad. When that is
done, he says, we may look for IAN
era Of prosperity the like of which we
have never had"
Mr.. Hin has shown confidence in his |
predictions by building the first trans |
continental railroad constructed with
out a government subsidy or land |
grant. Mr.. Hin Is democrat but not
an inhattonist. He belongs to that
hard money school which since the
days Of Hamilton and Jefferson has

tionists Of all parties,

We must hesitate to advise the DEM
ocrats to nominate Henry Watterson
Of Kentucky for president in 1896,
much as we admire him, when he
writes 80 unsoundly as follows:
In round numbers the expenses of
government ought to be within $780,
100000. One hundred and twenty-five
millions of this we get in round unm-
bers from the internal revenue tax
Fifty millions more can be got out Of
income tax. which would be felt by
nobody. The remaining $175.OOO,OOO can
be raised by a tariff so simple that
children might understand it; tariff
so plain that rogues could not manip-
ulate nor protectlonists confuse; a tar
iff, in short, on fifty Items; as far as
possible laid on articles not produced
in the United States; tea, sugar and
coffee, of course; no schedules; no class
ifications; no free list; everything, not
taxed. free; and no chance for double
dealing anywhere or by nobody"
We are quite willing. however, that
the democratic party shall go to the
country in 1896 on this proposal to
raise s175.oOO.OOO by duties on ''tea. SUI
gar and coffee" and other ARTICLES nor
produced in the United States" VIII

Europe will await with anxiety the
net result Of the German elections.
This can hardly be determined for some
time. In due course, however, Emperor
William will again ask the German
parliament to sanction two years SER
vice with an increase in the military
forces, and corresponding increase in
taxes. If the parliament again refuses
the imperial requesp the Emperor may
have recourse to violent measures. But
Bavaria and other states are not dis
posed to humor the kaiser. The ardor
which the war period created has sub
sided, and the old dislike to Prussian
supremacy has revived. All this will
serve to hold the impetuous monarch
in check.

basis. The only way for congress to
remedy its tinkering is TO substitute a
law for the Sherman act providing for
the free and unlimited coipage Of both
gold and silver.
Just now when democratic congress-
men are preparing to eat crow; in other
words to repeal the Sherman law. the

The "Breashinq" Of a Locomotive.

The breathing" of a locomotive
that is to say, the number of puffs
given by a railway engine during its
journey-depends entirely upon the
circumference of its driving-wheels.
NO matter what the rate of speed may
he, for every one round of the driving
wheels, locomotive will give four
'puffs, two out of each cylinder, the
cylinders being double.
The sizes of driving-wheels vary,
some being eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
and even twenty-five feet in circumfer-
ence, although they are generally made
about twenty feet.
The express speed varies from fifty
four to fifty-eight miles an hour. TAX
ing the average circumference of the
driving-wheel to be twenty feet and
the speed per hour fifty miles, loco
motive will give, going at express
speed, $50 puffs per minute, or $4,000
puffs per hour, the wheel revolving
13, 200 times in sixty minutes, giving
,1O56 puffs per mile. Therefore an ex-
press going from London to Liverpool
"a distance of 2O1i miles, will thro"
out 213, O4S puffs before arriving at ITS
destination.
During the tourist season of 1883
the journey from London to Edinburgh
Mas accomplished in less than eight
hours, the distance being 4Ol miles,
giving a speed of fifty miles an hour.
a locomotive of an express train from
London to Edinburgh, subject to the
above conditions, will give 423, 456
puffs. Yankee Blade.

Treatment OF Cholera.

Mrs Louise Russell Smith, medical
missionary in Turkey, has written
letter containing some valuable hints
regarding the cholera, the more valu-
able as she he's had large experience in
its treatment. She says that the first
and most essential precaution to be
taken is TO drink nothing but boiled
water and eat hot food, and relates
that native woman, in house where
The sanitary rules were carefully OBJ
served. in a spirit of bravado drank un-
boiled water "to see what it would do,
and WAS n corpse in twenty-fOur hours.
While some cases are unmanageable
from the first, she says, yet the ma
jority yield to treatment with opium,
camphor and capsicum, if taken IL
time. The disease, when checked,
often passes into n typhoid condition,
from which the recovery is slow, ther !
being few rapid convalescences. Sho
utters a strong warning against allow
ing patients any water in the intoler-
able thirst that marks the acute stage
of the disease, and says that the slight
est indulgence of the sort is fatal, of
which she saw many striking illustra-
tions. New Orleans Picayune..

Stamp Savings Banks.

1t is proposed TO introduce stamp
savings banks" in the Boston pubic
schools From various offices, colored
stamps of six denominations and stamp
cards will be obtained. To each per-
son wishing to become depositor, tho
local treasurer gives a stamp card and
sells rs many stamps as he has money
for These stamps must he pasted on
the card. The card when full will
probably contain about 50. As soon
as the child has stamps for that sum
the money is taken and deposited ior
him in some savings bank that he may
designate. The s. once deposited he
begins again, and the small sum grows
TO a larger one under his hands. Ii ne
wishes to Withdraw he presents his
card and draws all there is on it. Then
if he has more money than he cares to
use he calls for another card and re-
deposits the balance. BY this method
all bookkeeping is avoided the child
always knows just how much he has,
and the local treasurer can tell in the
same manner. II the child loses his
cord however, he loses his money, or
rather all that he carried on that
card. Chicago Tribune.

The Panama silk Trees.

One of the greatest curiosities ofthe
Panama Isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. N is plant that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high and in ap-
pearance does not differ greatly from
other trees, but the inner bark is a
perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separated it by
some method best known to them
selves, the process somewhat re-
sembling that of beating fax. When
once it is separated and spun into
threads, it can be woven into a fabric
80 closely resembling silk that it is
difficult for any one not familiar with
it to distinguish between the two. This
species of silk goods is in high favor on
the isthmus, and Colombian belle is
never happier than when she is arrayed
in a gayly colored dress made from the
trees in her fathers yard.-St. Louis

both for murder and for piracy. The
murder which he was supposed to have
committed was that of Moor, his gun
ner. whose death resulted froma blow,

without premeditation. No sentence
but that of manslaughter was justified
by the evidence. He was found guilty
of murder. In the trial for piracy he
was treated with the same injustice
He claimed that his cOmnicsion
justified his seizing the Quedah Mer-
chant. for he said she was sailing under
French pass when he took her. These
passes and other papers were in the
possession of Belmont, and Kidd could
not produce them. This case was tried
outside of the court by public hearing
The verdict rendered decided to let his
confederates, the joint stock company
and the King, escape public censure'
The severest criticism made upon the
affair was that Belmont, Somers, Hall
