THAT the tannin extract works at
South Bend are complete success is
evidenced by the fact that the plant is
operating day and night, turning out
1000 gallons, or twenty-five barrels,
valued at 1915. One cord of bark
valued Sc, is required for making a
barrel of extract, and 100 men are
kept at work securing this during the
season intervening between May and
September, while forty men are kept
regularly employed at the works. The
excellence of the product is attested
from the fact that it took first prize at
the Worlds Fair, as showing from
practical tests 81 per cent, of tannin
as against % per cent. for other ex-
tracts tested from all parts of the
world. A Chicago company has writ
ten for quotations on 5000 barrels, OF
100 cars as result of the showing
made there, and the prospects for q
steady market for all that can be man
ufactured is good. J. Y. Miller, man
ager of the works, claims to have beer
the first man in the world to make
tannin extract, having embarked in
the business as head of the Mile

Editorial Notes.

CLEyELAND's nomination of Horn
blower, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death OF Justice Blatchford, was
refused confirmation by the senate,
and now Peckham, the second nomi-
nee, is also turned down, all of which
goes to show that Dave Hill is still in
the ring, with strength enough left to
stop the appointment of his political
enemies. Perhaps Dave will discover
that Cleveland's pet measure, the Will
son bill, is the death knell OF the dem
ocratic party, and will turn it down.
LATER, the President tired of this
warfare and appointed Senator White
OF Louisiana, who was promptly con-
firmed.

ALTHOUGH q hearing is called on the
bills presented by the rings own organ
for printing road notices, the county
clerk still persists in furnishing them
to the Tribune. 1t is unnecessary to
state about our contract with the
county, or its legality, again yet we
might re-iterate the fact that this pa
per must perform this advertising
without cost to the county, while the

This is exactly in line with the recent

planatlon-that the accused person does
not care to have the reasons given.
Silence in such case is not calcu-
lated to give rise of presumptions of
innocence, because an executive is not
supposed to prostitute his high office
and exhibit petty feelings. Neither
will explanations that appear to ex-
plain but trivial things serve the pur-
pose of convincing others.
But if Mr.. McReavv publicly de-
mands over his own signature that
Gov. McGraw gives to the public his
reasons for thus branding him in a
high office as having been guilty of Of
fetal misconduct therein, then if sat-
lsfactory reasons are not forthcoming
Mr.. McReavy will be entitled to fa-
vorable belief that the simple reasons
he gave were the sole causes for his re-
moval, and Gov. McGraw will be gen
orally condemned for his course. In
the absence of such demand bv Mr..
McReavy the public must suppose that
Gov. McGraw had satisfactory reasons
for the step which he took.
Silence is fatal to Mr.. McReavy

and Gov McGraw is silent, that silence

OF THE CHRYsANTHEMUM SHOW A SUCCESS.
 REPEATED TODAY.
 The second day of the chrysanthemum show scored great success, the number Of visitors being largely in excess of those att tending the first day, and the receipts therefrom have more than realized the ex- pectations of the ladies of St. Mary's, un- der whose auspices the exhibit is being given.
 Two tables at the show deserve special notice, one with beautifully dressed dolls and the other with fine specimens of hand work. The dolls were dressed by mem bers of Mrs. Thomas Worthington's district, and the handwork is from the Mothers mission at the rolling mill. These articles are for sale, the proceeds to go to worthy people. On one of the ta bles are also speci- mems of cooking by mem bers of the mis- sion.
 The flower show has been great success so far, and no doub. the crowds today will be larger than yesterday. The exhibit will continue until midnight tonight.

MORE BONDS WANTED.
Wall Street Planning to Secure An other Issue From the Government.
 The Gold Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Treasury off, cials have been aware for some days of an agitation in New York financial circles in favor of new bond issue. It has not es- capped their notice that the financial papers that voice Wall street sentiment daily call attention to the treasury gold reserve and suggest that it should be built up to strengthen public confidence in the treas- ury's condition. Letters, too, have been sent to Secretary Carlisle by financiers, all having the same end in view.
 The surplus money in the New York banks is very great, and treasury ofnclals here who watch the course of money mat ters do not hesitate to express the opinion that the solicitude expressed by Wall street magnates for the treasury IS not entirely uaselfish, but that a new bond issue 1s de- aired by Wall street simply as means of providing an investment for their surplus and accommodating funds.
 Intlmations of gold exports to force the bonds have reached here through brokers aud others who keep in close touch with New York fiuanciers. That they can do this by presenting United States notes for gold and thus reducing the gold reserve is only too true, as proved by past trans actions of the kind. The opinion, how ever, is expressed n treasury circles that Secretary Carlisle will permit the gold re- serve 10 reach a much lower point than 1t now has, $61 1000, ,000, before he will feel Justified, m the present good condition of the treasury, iu making another issue Of United States bonds.
