One Result Of the strike.

General Manager Broughton, of the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway
Company. has ordered the company's
divisional shops At Brazil, Ind, torn
down, preparatory to moving them to
Momence, Ill. A committee of thirty
business men called upon Mr.. Brough-
ton aud requested that the shops be
allowed to remain. He answered that
he was simply carrying out the in
structions OF the company, the city
and county authorities having refused
the company protection. He bitterly
censured the sheriff for appearing on
the company's property when ap'
pealed to for protection wearing the
strikers white ribbon, and when depu-
ties were asked for, swearing in
strikers, who put oil cans filled with
emery on the locomotives. He said
that when non.union men appeared
on the streets, they were assaulted and
driven out of the city. He censured
the mayor for fining q non-union man
for carrying q revolver, when the
mans life was threatened, and said
the boarding houses and eating houses
bad refused to feed the men, and the
company thought it best to remove
the shops.

The Skoda gun is a new weapon
which is soon to be put in competition
with the other machine guns under
going trial by board of naval officers.
The invention is singular in many
particulars. Its total weight is only
25 pounds, and one man can easily
carry it. with a quality of ammuni-
ton, from place to place. 1t has but
one barrel, which can be regulated for
quick or slow firing. The firing is
done automatically, the recoil of the
breech being employed TO load the
chamber. The gun can be worked on
almost any mount, and for that reason
it is equally serviceable on the deck Of
q ship or boat and in the field. In &C.
ton it can readily be lifted and car
ried from one point to another, owing
to its lightness. Six hundred shots
can be fired every minute, il desired,
or deliberate aim, as is possible with
small arms, may be taken. In recent
experiments the gun has continued
firing for nine minutes, discharging
during that time 5,4OO cartridges,
without becoming too greatly heated.
Using smokeless powder, velocities of
1900 feet per second and . range of
2 800 yards have been developed. The
breech mechanism appears to be
simple and strong. The parts are few,
comparatively, and capable of being
easily removed and replaced.

Advance In Silver.

Silver bullion rose Sc per ounce in
New York last month. There has
been a corresponding advance in Lon
don. The cause for the appreciation
is generally ascribed to the probable
increased wants Of China, incident to
the war between that country and
Japan. China ia already in the mar
ket for small loan, and if the war
should continue for any length Of
time, she will need further and larger
loans. As silver is the currency OF
China, the borrowings will naturally
be in that metal. This cannot fail to
have q favorable effect on the price.
This has already been anticipated to
some extent. The tendency is still
upward. But with this country en-
tirely out OF the market as . buyer
since November l, 1898, the supply
has been equal to the demand, not
withstanding the closing of q number
of silver mines. Confirmation of that
view is found in the course OF the mar.
ket. Last November, after this coun.
try had stopped buying silver, the
price in New York was Csc to Toe
That was about the range for Decem.
Der. In the first six months this yeal
the range has been 49c to 588c, being
the lowest in March. The range
since August 1st has been 62s TO 65ac

The latest census bulletin, relating
to illiteracy, is one of the most interest
ing and instructive that has yet been
issued. 1t shows, generally speaking.
that in 1890 there were 1924, ,7O2 per-
sons in the United States over 1O
years of age, or more than Is per
cent. Of the total population, who
could not read or write. 1t will sur
prise many people to learn that the
lowest rate OF illiteracy is not in New
England, where we might expect to
find it, but in what is sometimes
derisively termed The wild and woody
West" The States lying west of the
Mississippi River all surpass those
upon the Atlantic Coast and of the
intermediate region. Nebraska stands
at the head of the list, with only per
cent. of illiterates, and Kansas, Iowa,
the Dakotas and Missouri range from
that to Z per cent.

Leeks vs.. Leeks.

An old hnnter said the other day
that when he first went up into Mich.
igan and Wisconsin where wild lceks
abound, he WAS surprised to find lying
at the side OF his plate at the table q
piece of leek about three or four
inches long. He did not understand
why it was placed there until he tried
the butter, which he found TO be al.
most intolerable from the taste OF
leeks. He then followed the example
of the others and ate the leek, when
he found the butter instantly trans.
ferred into just % delicious butter as
he ever tasted. The leeks grow up
through the snow, and are the first
green thing to be found in the fields
and along the streams, and the COWS
eat them with a relish; with the re-
suit that the butter mads from their
milk is strongly scented, and the dis
agreeable taste can only be removed
by fighting it with its own weapon
and 80 leeks are provided for each
plate.
The custom of overcoming like by
like is old as the hills, and was prac
ticed by our great grandfathers-ol
rather great grandmothers-who when
their beaus came courting after the
family repast had consisted in part o.
raw onions, always supplied the swain
with q slice of that succulent, bu
odoriferous, vegetable, to eat, befor.

1t was in 1851 that she began to wear
the costume which is now known
throughout the English-speaking
world as the bloomer.
She was then living at Seneca Falls.

temperance paper called The Lily. In
addition to being q prohibition advo-

space TO the subject of woman suffrage.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton adopted the
style and advocated its general adop-
ton. Mrs. Bloomer wore the costume
on several lecture trips, and in this
way it became associated with and
finally known by her name. By and
by Horace Greeley took the subject up
and was followed by other editors, the
result being that the bifurcated dress
became known all over the country as
the bloomer.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" SEPT 2 1884,

fiuence is so far-reaching that, if dis
regarded, a complete and beneficenl
scheme of tariff reform cannot be sue.
cessfully inaugurated.
When We give to our manufacturers
free raw materials, We unshackle
American enterprise and ingenuity
and these will open the doors of for
eign markets to the reception of our
wares and give opportunity for the
continuous and remunerative employ
ment OF American labor.
With materials cheapened by their
freedom from tariff charges the cost OF
their product must be correspondingly
cheapened. Thereupon justice and
fairness to the consumer would de-
mand that the manufacturers be
obliged to submit to such q readjust-
hhent and modification of the tariff
upon their finished goods as would Sc
cure to the people the benefit Of the
reduced cost of their manufacture, and
shield the consumer against the ex-
actions of inordinate profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw
materials and just and fearless regu-
lation and reduction of the tariff to
meet the changed conditions would
carry to every humble home in the
land the blessings OF increased comfort
and cheaper living.
The millions OF our countrymen who
have fought bravely and we'll for tariff
reform should be exhorted to continue
the struggle. boldly challenging to
open warfare and constantly guarding
against treachery and half-heartedness
in their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled un.
til it is honestly and fairly settled in
the interest and to the benefit of
patient and long.suffsring people
Yours very truly,

TOM REEDS MUSTACHE.

Overlookcd by . Ticket Agent to the
Disgust OF the Ex.Speaker.
Washington Post.
Everyone who has ever made q close
study of Mr.. Reeds characteristics of
face has noticed that he nourishes a
small mustache. Everything about
Mr.. Reed is large but the hirsute
adornment of his upper lip. Yet the
man from Maine is proud Of it, like .
mother of her puniest offspring. Once
upon time the ex-speaker was taking
bis family to neighboring town, and
entered the railroad station TO pur-
chase tickets. He pulled out q large
bill, paid for his tickets and walked
away without taking his change. He
had been seated in the train but q
short time when the conductor ap-
preached him.
"Did you leave your change at the
ticket station?" he asked.
Mr.. Reed suddenly recollected that
he had.
The ticket agent who sold you tho
tickets" said the conductor, ode
scribed you as very large man with q
smooth face"
"And q mustache," put in Mr..
Reed.
"No," said the conductor, he didn't
say anything about q mustacbe. /
guess he didn't see it,"
Mr.. Reed thrust his recovered change
into his pocket with pout.
"Confound it," he said to q member
who was listening to the story from
his lips the other day, "a man has got
to be as small as Wilson, of Washing.
ton, to have anybody notice that he's
got q mustache.
