around it, the space cleared, of course,
depending upon the length of the hose.
Cutting down a tree, however, is not
the only function to which the machine
is limited. BY partially rotating it on
it's axis the saw can be set to cut in a
vertical direction, or ut any angle be-
tween the horizontal and vertical posi-
lions, so that. after having been felled
a tree may be quickly cut up into desir-
ed lengths. 1t generally happens that
when a large tree falls it does not lie
fiat, as it's branches hold the upper part
of its trunk from the ground, and in
order to squarely cross-cut trees lying
in such a position it is necessary to
incline the saw somewhat from a ver-

son to believe that the fire was the
work OF an incendiary, no harm has
been done in drawing attention to the
very important. question of wiring
There is no department of electrical
work on which the safety and the lives
Of the people are so dependent, and it
is to be hoped that the criminal econo-
my of cheap wiring will eventually be
SO beset by heavy penalties that the
public will no longer be menaced by its
cver-present dangers The practice of
putting in imperfect wiring on board
ship has just been severely criticised
in an English electrical journal. Moth
ing more horrible than a fire on board
ship can be imagined, and it is matter
for wonder that shipping lines, and
more particularly marine insurance
companies should permit ships carry
ing the electric light to go to sea with
such inefficient workmanship as is Of
ten met with. One of the principals of
large firm of shippers In England de-
string to install the electric light on
some of their vessels, sent for their en-
gineer, and told him he must carry out
the work. He confessed that he knew
nothing about electric lighting, but
was told that he would De held feSpon-
sible for the proper execution of the
work. The result was that several
ships were lighted in n rough-and
tumble way, and electric lighting plants
We're installed, and the firm considered
that they had done rather a clever
thing in thus avoiding the expense of
an expert. In a case like this, the en-
gineer receives bids from n number Of
firms, and usually gives the contract to
the lowest bidder. He does not know
bad work from good, and if he meets
with an unprincipled contractor, SO
much the worse for the safety chances
of the ship and crew. There are many
points on which the maximum eff
cheney of a ship lighting depends, such
as the methods of running the circuits,
arranging the plants, ETC., and it has
advisedly been pointed out that as
many firms are committed to special
systems of ship lighting, the independ-
ent opinion of professional man is
highly desirable.

as nine-tenths of the arguments Of
the Democratic free traders-for in

tariff is a tax, and increases the
price OF the commodity by the
amount OF the duty-which is self
evident lie.
This claim of Senator Faulkner. as
usual, ignores entirely tho element
of labor which enters into the pro-

Now take the wool of the Michigan

Tribune. The land for raising of
the sheep has been cleared with
great labor. 1t has been laboriously
turned by the pillow, and finally it
has been seeded to grass for pastur-
age. The stock for the wool-pro-
ducing flock has been selected at
great cost and care; the young lambs
have been matured and tended; the
focks carefully cared for in summer
and sheltered and fed in winter In

it reaches It's ultimate form.
Coal makes tho steam that turns
the wheel that propels the looms,
that weave the cloth for mans use.
Wool furnishes the yarn that
makes the cloth for mans use.
Coal is wholly the product OF ma.
ture, requiring only to be removed.
Wool is the result OF mans effort in
overcoming and directing nature,
and OF his direct labors, going
through many distinct processes
before 1T reaches the stage for final
use
But according to the Democratic
logic, which seeks to sustain the
present monstrosity called tariff
bill, wool is raw material and coal Is
finished product. 1t Is by such al
legged arguments that this unnatural
product of dicker and sale is to be
commended to an intelligent people!
But the argument is too gauzy,
and the people will not be fooled.

The people are noting your doings.

NINE THOUSAND PEOPLE saw THEM.
General Graham's Cavalry Show
Their Training.
Governor Markham Compliments GEN
eral Graham on the Perfection
OF Their Drill.

Old Sol came out in full force yesterday
afternoon, dispelIing the light clouds that
had shielded the earth during the morn
ing from the fierce heat of his rays, but
the Americans are a brave and martial
people, the portion living in this city be-
ing no exception to the rule, and they
braved the unusual heat by thousands IN
order to see the cavalry drill of the regu-
lars at Agricultural Park.
Long before o'clock every car going
in that direction was crowded, people
Rigs OF every description also thronged
every street leading to the park, while
those who were not fortunate enough to
be able to harness electricity or horses
plodded their weary way, Harding the
lean earth as they moved along" with
perspiring faces.
a little before o'clock General Gra-
ham ana his staff rode into the Park and
were received with a burst of applause by
the crowd. In few minutes Company
l, mounted on their gray horses, with
Lieutenant Colonel Young and Adjutant
\ Nolan at their head, filed in, and
were followed by Company Is, on
black horses, being also greeted with ap-
plause. Captain Lockett commanded
Company l and Lieutenant Benson Com
pany K.
Captain Locketts company showed
their eXpertness in changing their posi-
tions on horseback, facing backward, and
also In making their horses lie down.
In the meantime Company K was
jumping hurdles placed on the track,
riding singly and in couples, one soldier
leading his comrades horse while he sat
with folded arms and had no control of
the animal When they rode into the
field they formed line, dismounting.
The bugle sounded, and as one man the
two companies were in their saddles for
squadron drill.
BY twos, by fours, in sQuadrons, in
platoons, forming line in escnelon, walk
ing, trottiug, galloping, they went
through their eVolutiong. Then they
formed line at the upper end of the field
and came on at q trot. Suddenly the
word was given, Charge" aud with a
wild yell, their sabers flashing in the
sunlight and horses straining every
nerve, they flew across the field.
A long-drawn "Ahn' burst from the
5000 spectators who filed the grand stand
ana overflowed into the race track and
/ field, and then came an uproar of ap-
plause. Governor Markham, in whose
nonor the review was given and who sat
in the grand stand with Colonel Graham
and Adjutant- General Allen, joined in
the applause and complimented Colonel
Graham on The tine body Of soldiery who
were exhibiting their proficiency of drill.
Suddenly the cavalry drew up ia line
fronting the grand stand and came to a
present before the Governor, who re-
turned the salute, and the review was
over. AS the troops filed out they were
again greeted with applause, that was ey-
identity gratifying to them.

The Officers Are Camping on His Trai

The Officers Are Camping on His Trail
and Hope to Get Him.
According to the evening paper, the
officers are now certain they are ''on the
track" of the man who murdered Charles
W. Craddock and a Chinaman and
wounded Thomas Slack, on the 6th Of the
month in the northern part of the county.
The statement is made that on the night
following the crime some one invaded a
couple of camps on Dry Greek, near
Roseville, and the officers are quite cer-
tain that person was the murderer, and
that "he cannot get away"
In view of the fact that all this was pub
lished in the RECoRD-U MON soon after
the crime was committed and that the
supposed murderer has had three weeks
in which to make good his escape, it is
difficult to understand how the officers
can now be ION his trail" III that locality,
and why they imagine he cannot get
away.
That trail is pretty old by this time, and
1t will require very keen-scented sleuth-
hound to take it up at this late day and
come up with the quarry, who has had
time to cross the continent and even reach
Europe.
However, it is hoped that the fellow
may be still hanging about the scene OF
the double murder. and that the next
time he raids a camp in search of grub"
somebody will pounce upon him like a
June-bug on potato vine.

assessment would be higher than it
woald if assessed as detached road. but
ne could see no remedy that the board
could give the former company.
Mr.. Hayes stated that in Arizona the
road and land grant was assessed at
s., 40o 90 and in New Mexico at $500
with the land grant.
The gross earnings of the road in Cali
fornia is S4, ,473 per mile and the assess
ment s.. .303. The net earnings Of the
whole road were SIS per mile in 1892.
There was nothing unusual that year to
necessitate extra expenditure. In 1893
thirty miles Of the road were washed out
in the midst of the Worlds Fair travel.
The tax on the gross earnings of the road
last year was Az per cent.
The TWO main points he wished to make
were that the road should be assessed to
the Atlantic and Pacific as actual owners
and operators and that the rolling stock
should be assessed to them pro rata for
the mileage.
