To TIE EDITOR OF The SUS-Sir! There
should be no fayoritlsm. no class legislation ;
but II there is 10 be fayoritism and class legis-
lation. then the hat Manufacturers have the
right to demand protection from such mi.
QuitisA
II this bill 10 to become . law-from which
calamity we hope with Tue SUN. we may DO
saysd-the gross discrimination In favor OF the
manufacturers OF the materials that are used
In the construction Of hats is so manifest that
the matters are entitled to relief
This discriminate In favor Of one industry
against another. as sxemplifisd above is shown
IN q great many other instances In this ridicu-
Ignorance and born In iniquity.
IL Is neither protection, tariff reform. nor
free trade and IL 10 earnestly 10 be hoped that
the Efforts OF THE Sun toward its defeat NAV

We can tell Mr.. HORACE l.. FERLoNd that
q person may recognize q dream In Dream
Mr.. FEnIOSG is not the only man who has
often dreamed and been aware that he was
dreaming. Moreover. 1t Ia possible for him.
while he Is dreaming to be aware that he had
dreamed the same dream at some other time
He cannot OF course have the same kind OF
certainty OF the manpuvring Of his mind
while asleep that he may have OF IL while
awake: but. in dreaming about Q previous
dream. or in saying to himself. while he
dreams. II have drsamt that dream before"
he has the very same apprehension OF the one
part Of the dream that he has OF the other part.
Upon this question We must refer our CORE
spondent to that subtle and scientific in
vestigator. Prof. SCRIPTURE OF Yale Uni
vsrsity who has devised body OF
apparatus through which he can. In some
measure. indicate the order OF the movem ents
Of the mind Of the person before him. whether
this person be awake or asleep or hypnotized.
Dr. ScRIPTURE's method and mechanism
created much interest among tho scientists
and metaphysicians who were at the confer
ence Of the American Psychological Associa-
ton held in this city last week. Both Yale and
Harvard professors are now trying to explore
mans mind upon . novel system. about the
usefulpes OF which We have not yet formed
fixed opinion.
As to the "prescience OF dreams" about
which Mr. FERLoNG speaks in the letter which
we printed yesterday, We would merely say
that there may certainly be such thing as
president dreaming. The causation OF Il, we
guess. is nearly always physical. We trust
that DIR. Sculpture will examine tho thing
with the aid OF his II echanism.

It is an entertaining cablegram which
Rear Admiral BENHAM has sent from Per-
nambuco TO the Secretary OF the Navy:
"Evsrythng Is quiet az possible throughout Brazil
There no reason to Apprehsnd trouble at present"
This Is a vivid description Of the Brazilian
conflict The naval and military belligerents
OF Brazil, who are carrying on hostilities at
sea and on land. do not seriously disturb the
quiet OF the country. We have repeatedly
been informed by the dispatches OF the United
Iress, that few Of the people Of Brazil. except
Ing those in Rio are aware that war 10 ra aging

rel between PEIxOTo and MEILo. There Is
NO reason to apprehsnd trouble at present"
says Admiral BESHAM; and We suppose this
means that hOstiIlties are TO be conducted In
the old style.

We congratulate the faithful Democratic
members Of the House OF Representatives on
their success in blocking the WILSON tarir
swIndle yesterday. That bill should be de.
feated at all hazards. and then they may have
q chance OF passing q genuine Democratic bill
creating q tariff for revenue only. To pass
the Democracy. A great political party can
not afford to juRRie with its honor. and every
Democrat who supports that bill brands tho

having population, by the last census. Of
ls7.so5. 1t adjoins Maryland on the north
and Virginia on the east and south. 1t is
rich In mineral wealth. The Democratic
majority at the election Of 1891 was 1.057 In
total Of $4,000 votes. There were. at that
election. four political parties In the field
In that district. and this. substant TALLY. Is
what they stood for on the tariff question !:
The Democrats favored constitutional
system Of tariff taxation for revenue only.
without any protective features.
The Republicans favored an unconstitu-
tional system Of taxes. through the impo-
sitIon OF which certain interests were bene-
fited and protected at the expense OF GER
tain other interests. irrespectively OF any
considerations Of revenue.
The Prohibitionists favored total aboli-
ton OF all Internal or Internal revenue
taxes on spirits and fermented liquors. the
revenue now derived by the Government
from that source to DO made up at the Gus
tom Houses. irrespectively OF questions OF
consututionality or revenue.
The Populists favored general onslaught
on the accumulated wealth OF the country.
IN income tax. and tax on such corpora
lions as the State shall not absorb for It's
own uses and conduct as branches Of the
State Government.
The $4,000 electors OF Professor WILSON'S
West Virginia district will choose Con-
Eressman In November. Ten months in
advance OF that event some OF our Repub-
hcan friends In the Mountain State are wor-
rytng themselves about q candidate who
shall stand up straight for unconstitutional
protection. They talk Of running Ex-Sec-
rotary MASON. who came within 6S votes OF
defeating Professor WILSON In 1882.
What Is the use Of reviving ancient his
tory in the politics Of the youngest Of the
oommonwealths east OF the Mississippi?
What is the matter with nominating WILL
SON He now stands for the great
Republican principle OF discriminative pro-
lection In the imposition OF tariff du-
ties. His Tariff bill now before Con-
gress establishes that fact. Why, there
fore. should not the Republicans OF the
Second district of West Virginia strain
point and give him their support LoRI-
cally and consistently. the Professors
Democratic constituents cannot renomI-
nate him. but that should make no particu-
lar difference. for his Prohibltionist aud
Populist neighbors could support him with
out any sacrifice OF principle, and they
would make up his majority. All would be
well without the political revival or resuseI-
tatlon OF MASON.
Going back to 1881 for candidate. and q
defeated one at that. would be poor policy
for the Republican prOtectIonlsts Of the
Second Congress district OF West Virginia.
They could save time and trouble by NOM
mating Professor WILSON. and thereby con-
founding the victorious Democrats. and put
ting them to flight over the O reenbrIer hills.

Little and Aged Man inquiries If
"Willie'' Can be Seen.
Relatives of the old-fashioned sort are
sad disturbers of the dignity of the rising
generation, especially when they trot out
pet names in public, as all fond parents of
the old-fashioned sort invariably insist
on doing. It's difficult thing for a pa
rent to realize, anyway, that his child has
grown up.
There is young man in position of
great trust in one of the largest mercan-
tile establishments in this town. He came
from the country originally, but would
rather have that forgotten. Yesterday a
little old man entered the ecounting-room.
He was done up in about five lengths OF
-and-yellow scarf. and gave other ev-
idence of hailing from the latitude of
Johuson's Creek or Findley's Lake.

the head of the firm as William" to the
cashier and the principal bookkeeper as

up the rule of choice of a churchman for
office and place of administration solely
because of religious belief; if any church
makes political choice as church, it
must expect that it will receive, as it will
deserve, assault and rebuke. 1t would
be unamerican not to manifest it. But
resistance to any such narrow, intolerant
and bigoted procedure should be in the
trust in the justice and loyalty of the free
thinking people of the republic. For
every scheme of this kind, all manner of
effort to make religious faith the qualifi-
cation for political preferment, will de-
feat itself and must fail.

Making Postage stamps.

Every part of postage stamp making is
done by hand. The designs are engraved
on steel, 200 stamps on q single plate.
These plates are linked by two men, and
then are printed by girl and a man on a
large hand press. They are dried as fast
as printed, and then gummed with
starch paste made from potatoes. This
paste is dried by placing the sheets in
steam tanning machine, and then the
stamps are subjected to a pressure of
1000 tons in hydraulic press. Next the
sheets are cut so that each one contains
100 stamps, after which the paper be-
tween the stamps is perforated. and after
being pressed the sheets are filed away.
Ii single stamp is injured the whole
sheet is burned.
