The inflammability of the diamond
was not known till the middle of the
nineteenth century. The ancients were
firmly convinced that diamond could
not either be burned or broken. This
was disproved in 1870 or Whereabouts,
when a four-carat stone was consumed
in the fame of blow-pipe. 1t was in
Rome. The grand duke of Florence, in
1884. thought that fire would reveal the
secret of the diamonds composition, and
he caused stone to be placed under
the focus of concentrated sun rays. The
diamond cracked, coruscated and disap-
reared. These experiments are not
made very frequently. In the interest
of science they have been necessary.

PARAGRAPHlC POINTERS.

President Harrison declares that
ne is not a candidate for the presi-
dency. II he were nominated we are
inclined to think that he would con-
tinue to be of that opinion after the
votes were counted.-Buffalo CONNER
cial (Rep.).
The republican press is felicitat-
ing itself on the fact that the United
States supreme court has reversed six
of Mr.. Gresham's judicial decisions.
But perhaps the fact is harder on the
supreme court than on Gresham.-St.
Louis Republic.
At recent county conventions in
Georgia resolutions indorsing the ad-
ministration have been adopted. They
show that the vast majority Of demo-
Gratis in the state are untainted with
populism, soreheadism and the other
dangerous 'isms'' the propagation Of
which is being attempted in some quar-
ters.-Savannah News.
If ex-President Harrison is so
violently opposed to gerrymanders he
should give a little attention and adj
vice to the republican members of the
Ohio legislature. These statesmen are
now considering bill to gerrymander
the judicial districts of Ohio SO that it
will take thirty-one thousand seven
hundred democratic votes to elect a
democratic Judge, while sixty-fye hun
dred votes will elevate a republican to
the bench.-N. Y. World.
If the American laborer has Ep-
proximately received his share of the
product of his labor through the oper-
alton of the tariff, why have we these
exhibitions of organized vagabondage
under Coxey, Kelly and others, while
the country as whole has grown
richer? What is the meaning of the
presence in this country of thousands
OF Hungarians, Italians, Poles and
other foreign labo-ers of the cheapest
class? Why this constant succession OF
strikes and labor riots, caused by re-
auctions of wages, or efforts to sub
stitute foreign contract labor for
American labor; disturbances that have
been most frequent and most trouble
some while the party OF protection
was in the full flush Of power? Why
have wages been 30 steadily reduced in
industries most highly protected?-

UNRELIABLE PLEDGES.
How the Republicans Are Obatructin
Tariff Legislation.

How the Republicans Arc Obetructing
Tariff Legislation.
An illustration of the republican
programme of obstruction to the pro-
posed tariff bill was furnished the
other day when Senator Allison moved
to amend the first paragraph in the
chemical schedule by restoring the
rate Of duty on acetic acid provided in
the Mckinley bill. On this long dis
cussion ensued, and the amendment
was finally defeated, only to give place
to second involving the same princf.
pie, which gave excuse for renewal
of the debate. In this way the entire
day was consumed and no result was
reached. The tariff bill covers several
of these the same course may
month being consumed in the
discussion OF each. The present
generation Of senators may pass away
and give place to their grandchil-
dren, and still the talk may proceed,
and when the millennium shall have be-
gun the same discussion will be in
progress.
This incident illustrates how little
reliance can be placed upon the pledges
of the republicans. Some time ago at
a caucus regularly called it was agreed
that no factious amendments would be
offered and no fillibustering methods
employed to delay action on the bill.
Yet at the beginning of the debate this
pledge has been deliberately violated
and system inaugurated that prom
ises to be effective in defeating any
action of whatever nature. 1t has
often been said that there is honor
among thieves; it has been often
demonstrated that there is no honor
among the republicans In the United
States senate.
There is every reason to believe that
the action of the caucus of republican
senators was taken with deliberate
from the public, and with the express
intention of paying no heed to either
the letter or the spirit of the promise
they made. The Impotence OF the
country for action on the tariff was too
manifest to fail Of recognition. 1t was
thought expedient to allay this impa-
thence in a manner by making fair
promises. But it was an entirely diff
ferent thing when it came to carrying
out those promises. Such a thing was
never contemplated.
It is well that the republicans have
been unmasked and their true policy
revealed to the people. The response
bility for further delay will rest upon
their shoulders. The democrats are
ready for immediate action. They will
vote for the bill as it stands to-day, not
because they approve of it's every de-
tail, but because they recognize the
fact that it is the best they can do un-
der existing circumstances
Unless the republicans change their
plans they will have long account to
settle with the people. Norman guilty
of impeding the progress of this bill
deserves, or will receive, the public
confidence, and he may make mp his
mind to bid farewell to the scene OF
his present activities or inactivities at
the close Of his present term. The
country has. already suffered TOO much
to patiently endure further delayA-.

ON the Mclean Border.

Customs duties are in many particu-
lars not enforced along our Mexican
boundary with the strictness that pre-
walls upon the Canadian border. This
is especially the case with those NOV
able western commodities, cattle, horses
and sheep. With all the natural OBJ
stacles in the shape of mountains. for
est and arid plains it has thus far been
found impracticable for customs officers
to patrol so long border, and among
the numerous ranch herds grazing on
both sides of the boundary it is hard to
prove of cattle found on either side
that they were driven from the other.
The sentiment of the people along the
border inclines to free trade in respect
of live stock. With some of the GUS
toms officials who are in service for
reasons neither hygienic nor patriotic
it is not difficult for smugglers to come
to terms, and thus it comes about
that of the many herds of live stock
driven north from old Mexico but q
small proportion is ever accounted for
In the records of customs receipts.-

A sNEEzINo CORPSE.

How IN Impressive Scene I'm . Classical
Drama Was Ruined.
When Macready was young man
classical drama in blank verse held the
stage. One of these was "4Emilius; or,
the Fall Of Rome"
Emilius was played by an actor
named Pope, and the ,exigencies Of the
play required him to be brought on the
stage on bier, supposedly dead, and
Flavius, acted by Macready, spoke an
grafton over the body.
Pope was an inveterate snuff-taker,
and just before going on one night he
borrowed a pinch from one of the stage
attendants. He was accustomed to only
a mild invigorant, but the borrowed to
bacco was the fiery Welsh snuff. Pope
was duly brought on the stage blythe

Here, to Macready's establishment.
Pope's face began to work, and then
came a sneeze from the dead Roman
that shook the flies. Macready started
as If shot, and the audience began to
litter, but he went on:
''Since thou hast left us we are en-
compassed by enemies who"
Here the corpse began to show anima-
ton, and then came q succession OF
sneezes. Boiling over with rage, and
in voice heard all over the house,
Macready muttered:
.sDrat your blood, sir, why don't you
do your sneezing off the stage?"
The audience shouted, and the scene
ended by the corpse stalking of to find
and kill the man who gave him the
nuff.-London Figaro.

thing like the Alexander Haines matter

evidently disposition to get one man

Mr., Cole is satisfied to remain on the

moved.
Mr.. S. A. Waldron-Mr. Cole claimed
to have secured two votes to my one be-
fore the county committee. L want to
say that they were dragging delegates in

A proposition to reopen the nomina-

at the morning session for time looked
as if row would be precipitsted, but it
was avoided by cooler counsels.
THE OPENING SESSION.
The Populiet county convention reas-
eembled yesterday morning in esbor
hall, with E. M. Wardall in the chair,
TO complete the township nominations
ior justices Of the peace and conetables.
The question of admitting proxies was
raised by a delegate from Pomona, but

a question was then raised on the pro-
priety OF the action of the county central
