ABOUT CANAIGRE.
New York Chemists Interested in
an Arizona Plant.

an Arizona Plant.
DIR. Prowell Yesterday received a let
ter from firm Of manufacturing chem
lists of New York asking for informa
tion on the subject OF canaigre. They
want samples of the root and quotations
on lots of from one to twenty tons.
The plant is rich in tannin and is
likely to revolutionize the process OF
tanning leather. The purpose for which
the writers want it is the extrac-
tion of the tannic acid which it con-
tains. 1t is being extensively cultiva-
ted in parts of Texas and New Mexico
and the Territorial University of Ariz-
ona about year ago began attempting
to arouse an interest in the cultivation
here.
1t grows wild and in great profusion
along the canals of the Salt River val
ley and is regarded as nuisance rather
than prospective source of profit. So
far as known there is no other place in
the United States where it grows with
out cultivation. The growth is rank
and in general appearance the plant
resembles large species of dock.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Sept. 13-If the
state does not lose the valuable Tacoma
school section, now in question in the
land office here. it will be no fault of
the government or it representatives.
The ruling OF the interior department
has been uniformly against the state.
In the first place, the secretary OF the
interior refused to recognize the ex-
animation of the section made by the
county commissioners in 1892 for the
reason, as stated, that McBride's repre-
sentatives were not present. Subse-
quently, in referring the matter back
for hearing here, it was conditioned by
the secretary that McBride's representa-
tives should be present at all examina-
tions. Notwithstanding the fact that
reputable experts refused to serve the
state under such circumstances.
A further examinatiod was to be d.
rected solely for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the amount of gold in a cubic
yard, without regard to the cost of min
ing. The state was also instructed to
commence an examination July 20, and
the notice of such order was not served
on any state officer until July 18.
When the state asked for an extension
of time it was refused. and further
more the state was directed to conclude
by August 20 following.
When the government re preventative,
Swineford, arrived here he announced
that his mission was merely to see that
an impartial examination was had, but
the state officers and others here having
the states interests at heart feel that 9
very partial step was taken when the
government agent offered a newspaper
interview, and is the first witness called
on behalf of Mcbride
If this section is lost to the state
there is no reason why every schoo
section on Puget sound should not be
taken in the same way, for there is nc
location in this section where like con
d1tions do not exist.
McBride's claim is that this section il
| mineral land and at recent hearing al
old miner testified that the claimant
had tried to bribe him to "salt" the
land that his claim might be estab
| lished,

allow that the Southern Pacific had the
alternative of disseminating Pullman cars
until such time as they could be run with
out trouble. The railroad officials say that
they did not like this alternative. Very
well. They had a right not to like it, but
they knew that they were under an obliKa-
tion to perform ordinary transportation
service for the public. They knew that if
they failed to perform such service a
grievous injury would be done to the
State. They knew that thousands of peo-
pie who were not in any way responsible
for the quarrel between the Southern Pa
clhc and its employees would suffer loss and
endure incOnven ience by the refusal OF the
company to perform ordinary service. But
none of these considerations had weight In
railroad councils. The autocrat was there
in all his pomposity. If trains could not
be run with Pullmans no trains should
be run. II the people were injured there
by, so much the worse for the people. The
company would serve people in its own
way or not serve them at all.
There will be considerable voting done
next November. Comparatively little OF
it will be done by employees of the South
ern Pacific. The bulk of the votes cast
will be with a view to bringing that cor
poration under the law. 1t has had its
own way too long already.

DARKENED SLEEPING-ROOMS
The Brain Cannot Rest Unless Light
Is Excluded.

1t is claimed by some physicians that the
brain cannot rest perfectly unless all Hight is ex-
cuded from the sleeping-ro0m and whether
In going TO bed at night or simply lying down
for half hours rest in the middle of the day
this precaution should be taken. When a
house has an eastern or southern exposure the
rooms will be filled with light long before it is
time to get up and unless some means be taken
TO prevent the morning res will be more or less
broken. Especially is this true In the case of
little children and 1t is well to accustom them
from the first TO sleep in the dark.
In The absence OF outside blinds there Is no
better way TO secure this pleasant twilight so
conducive to rest than by the use OF inside
shades made OF the darkest green holland and
they have great advantage over either inside
or outside blinds In that they are so easily ad-
iusted.
They supplement but do not take the place
of the ordinary shades. but are set some what
inside so as not 10 interfere with thhm and are
rolled up and quite out OF the way when not in
use.
The best grades of this goods are durable.
and with reasonable care Will last five years.
and from her own experience the writer can
recommend them as a most desirable invest
ment.
If the bedroom windows have upper panels
of stained glass, in which 80 many modern
houses abound the green shades should be set
so as to cover these also, as an exceedingly un-
pleasant glare pours down from tbem very
trying to eyes which are trained to sleep in
a darkness as complete as poSsible.-Harpers'

THE TARIFF BILL IN BOTH HOUSES

Ordinarily when party measure passes
both houses ii enters upon what may be
termed an open sea. Such would be the
case with the tariff bill just passed by the
Senate if the Senate dill aud the House
bill were not in conflict in respect to
fundamental principle. The House bill
was a departure from the principle laid
down at Chicago, but perhaps not a wider
departure than 10 some rare cases is ap-
parent between party platform and an
act of legislation by the same party. The
platform declared protection unconstitu-
tional, but the average Democrat did not
suppose that doctrine would be put in the
form of law. There was. therefore. a de-
gree OF protection in the House bill, but
not more than could be defended on the
general ground that radical changes in
important laws should be avoided Raw
materials were very generally placed on
the free list. Wool. sugar, coal. iron ore,
lumber and some other products OF the
earth we're sQuarely placed on the free
list. The Senate has put sugar. iron ore
and coal on the dutiable list. Il has left
wool and lumber on the free list. The
Senate has increased duties on many
manufactured articles under the necessity,
it has been said, of securing votes for lis
final passage. 1t now remains to be seen
how the House will receive the much
amended bill that has been sent to it by
the Senate. Unless the House meets the
Senate more than half way there is dan
ger yet for the Democratic tariff bill.

THE SILVER LINING.

The man who should 60 on Front or
Battery street and express the opinion
that the present railroad ;ieup will result
in a benefit to the State would not be
accepted as a prophet Optimism is not
popular when business is bad. The aver
age man wants the stone taken out from
in front of the wheel so that the car may
go on. TO the man who is ruined by the
tieup it will not seem possible that good
can come of it.
The good that can come of it will be
in the form of a system of competing rail-
roads. We will begin with the San j Joaquin
road and end when there are no consider
able localities that cannot get their prod
uce to market over a competing system.
When we once begin we shall be aston
ished at the ease with which progress is
made. Very largely in the construction
of a road we shall be utilizing our own
waste forces Men who are now standing
about idle will be earning wages for
themselves but helping in a work that
will enable them 10 become tillers Of land
on their own account in the near future.
Capital will find new and profitable OPP
portunities for investment. Land that is
now almost valuelass, owing 10 the cost of
getting products to market. will furnish a
new field for both capital and labor.
Industries that are now being car
red along In the hope Of better
times will feel the impetus of a new de-
mand for their products. At the present
time even if the trains were running as
they were two weeks ago, transportation
charges eat up the ordinary profits of bust
ness. II costs the wheat-grower as much
20 move his wheat 100 miles to tidewater
as TO move it from tidewater to its foreign
market. FTuit-grOwers find that when
they have paid freight charges there is
little left above the bare cost of product.
Local manufacturers find that at distant
localities In this State they meet a market
supplied from some Eastern city at less
cost for transportation than the California
manufacturer has Co pay. 1n short. the
curse of the rule of the Southern Pacific of
charging all the traffic will bear hangs
over all our Industries. The pres
ent suspension of railroad traffic will
convince our people of the impolIcy of in
trusting so important a branch of indus
try as the transportation of people and
goods to- n corporation that proclaims its
Indifference to the States welfare. When
the president of the Southern Pacific de-
clared that the cars Of that corporation
should remain idle until opposition TO the
running of Pullman cars was WITHDRAWN,
be sounded a note of warning which will
reach The most remote localities in the
State. While he made a grand display of
power he discovered to the people the
necessity of escaping from its exercise,

PULLMAN's LITTLE TALK.

Mr. Pullman, of itinerant lodging-house
notoriety, had a talk with his employees
Just before they quit work in which he ex-
plaaned to them what sacrifices he had
made to provide work for them. He had
underbidden all his competitors in the
open market, and he expected them to
work at rates OF wages which would at
least save him from loss. Mr.. Pullman
did not seem to realize that be was aiding
to carry out the plan to reduce wages
which his employees were directly opposed
70. Having underbidden all competitors
for contracts, be then proposed to make
wages conform to the terms of the contract
But there was one branch of the subject
Mr.. Pullman did not touch upon. He
made DO reference to the millions he had
acquired through the work of his en-
ployes during the years which had been
prosperous. he did not explain why it
was that, not having been partners in his
business while il was immensely profit
able, they should become partners the
moment losses were in sight. He con-
tended that he had paid current wages,
and there was no denial of that contention.
But of the millions which had been realized
from their joint work the employees had re-
ceived only what other men doing like
work had received. All the accumulation
he had kept for himself. but he was not
above sharing losses with the poorest-paid
man in the shop.

THE OBSTACLE IN THE WAY.

A contemporary says in respect to the in
action of Congress when the Nicaragua
canal bill comes before it:
All that seems to hold 1t back is the natural
inertia OF a legislative body, but that is very
poor excuse for a failure to pass a measure
which would benefit every part of the United
States.
While the Nicaragua canal will benefit
every part of the United States it will not
benefit every interest in the United States
1t has no advocates among the land trans
portation companies. An open waterway
between Atlantic and Pacific ports. only
AGO miles in length. against 5000 miles by
the land route. would be formidable
form of competition. Ii would put an end
to transcontinental pools. 1t would bring
into the transportation question an agency
more powerful than all the railroad corpora
tions combined. Between the Atlantic
ports of the United States and the Atlantic
port of the canal there would be the open
sea. Across the canal the Government
would fix the rates Of toll, and on the Pa
citic side our good friend the ocean would
again forbid comb inatlon. Naturally the
railroad corporations oppose the construc-
ton of the canal by the Government. The
wIsest of them cannot see the outcome.
Ports in the Gulf of Mexico may become
points of distribution for the bulk OF goods
now passing through Atlantic ports, thence
west by railroad. What will become of
the business of railroads running between
the Missouri River and New York when
railroads running north and south supply
the interior of the United States with goods
brought by a shorter and cheaper route
than that which supplies the Atlantic
ports? The Nicaragua canal with the Gov
erDment as owner disturbs the present ar
Iangements by which the great east and
west roads divide the American passenger
and freight movements among themselves.
The power which is strong enough TO in
duce the Government to protect the rail-
road companies in their claim that Pull
man cars are an essential part of a mail
train is also powerful enough to Intensity
the natural inertia of legislative body.
