CIGARETTE MAKING IN SEVILLE.
A Monster Fnctory, where Thou

One of the sights of Seville which no
tourist misses is the cigarette factory
in which the government employs
nearly two thousand women and girls.
The showing about of visitors is ac-
cordlngly looked upon as a regular
source of income by the porter and
matrons. After getting permission to
enter, you are placed in charge of a
matron, who shows you through her
own department. and then passes you
on to another, and so on until your
stock of pesetas and half pesetas, put

These matrons accompany the visl-

Murillos OF the future lying in them.
These girls are more frank than

Tribe of Wild Men Found.

Four curious specimens of human
ity have been confined in Norridge-
wock Jail, accused of sheep stealing,
writes the Augusta Me, correspond
ent of the New York Recorder. They
we're arrested in Brighton. They be-
long to gang of about forty persons
who have no homes, but who have
lived until recently near the Canadian
line like wild beasts in the summer
and in caves in tho winter. They
wear little or no clothing, and their
backs, which have long been exposed
to the sun and weather, are covered
with a growth of hair fully three inches
long.
It is hard to make sense out OF their
conversation although they have learn
ed to swear so that they are under
stood. One of the men, giant in
form, is an idiot. His sides are full
of small holes, made by brad in the
end of stick, when herhas been yoked
to an OK. The day they we're placed
in Jail they had fight among them
selves and tore all the clothing off
each others bodies. Police are after
others of this tribe of wild men.

Increasing Dema N Il for Copper.
The copper market has maintained
it's position throughout season CT the
year which is apt to test the strength
of markets generally. Sellers are
crowded to make deliveries at specified
dates, and production has been SO well
sold up that September copper is re-
ported very scarce.
Such an absolutely healthy and leg
itimate demand for copper furnishes
the most positive evidence of the great
consumption of the metal NV taking
place. There may not be famine of
copper, but with the present unpre-
cedented demand, and every prospect
of an increasing consumption for years
tc come the most conservative must
be convinced that copper is making
new history for itself.

To-NTGHT,s WELCOMES.

Tonight the Morton Cadets and the
National Fencibles viii return from the
Memphis Interstate drlIl. to be honored
with a rouctng welcome. Their absence
has been brief, bat ii has brought them
reputation; and while their laureIs are
not OF the kind that make undying history,
they are merited, and mark an event in
the annals OF the District Guard that
will not soon be forgotten
The Morton Cadets deserve especial
favor. They bring from the sunny South
three prizes won in gallant competition,
and as they were captured in maiden drills
their achievements are all the more credit
alae. The National FencibIes We're not
so fortunate. An error in Judgment lost
them the honor or winning permanent pos
session Of the champion cup, but they still
retain the reputation so justly deserved OF
being the best-drined company in the
country.
Aswas expected, both companies merited
the respect Of their competitors, and gained
the good Will OF all with whom they came
in came contact. They are entitled, for
this reason alone, to the esteem Of their
fellow citizens, for, after all, honors, titles
and fame are nothing compared to-an up
right reputation. The young men OF the
Cadets and the Fencibles bring with them
what Washington esteems above all else
the good name they bore when they left
here-and for that they VIII be honored to-
night, as well as for their prize drill
Vict Ories.

THE ELECTION TO-DAY.

The election in Alexandria county to-
cay is Of great Importance to washing
ton. 1t will decide for the next four years
whether or not gambler rule across the
river is to be continued, and on this de-
cision rests the further retention OF the
thugs and thieves that overrun this city.
There is hone for the moral element. but so
little attention has been given TO earnest,
efficient organization that the chances
are that the gambler forces viii carry the
election.
Such a victory would be deplorable. The
shame Of delivering for four years into the
hands OF gamblers one of the bestknownand
most honored counties of Virginia would
be Iamentable. Not only would it Disgrace
the State, but it would prove disastrous
TO the national capital. Here at the home
of a great government where Congressmeets
and where illustrious and enlightened peo-
pie find permanent and temporary resi-
dences, there should be no such plague spots
as jackson city, Rosslyn and the outlaw
tracks.

HoRsE-MEAT WAR In PARIS.
Amusing Complications from USING
Flesh I'm SausageS,

Amusing Complications from Using
Flesh in SauSageS.
An amusing warfare has been carried on
in Paris between the Government chemists
and the makers OF sausages in which horse
flesh has been used.
Some time ago the Butchers Association
of Paris strongly advocated law rendering
il compulsory to designate by label Sr
otherwise all sausages composed OF horse
flesh or in which horsefiesh had been
mixed with other meats. The authorities,
while perfectly willing 70 make reguia-
tious enforcing this practice, declined to DO
so on account of the imposstbility or pun
ishing offenders. To punish the Ylolatofs
of a law it is necessary TO detect the viola
ton and also to show proof or 1t. In the
present state of scientific knowledge II is
not possible TO satisfactorily determine the
difference between flesh OF the horse and
| that of any other animal when they are
both chopped fine and mixed together. A
! chemist finally discovered that IL the meat
were treated with iodatcd water red
/ dish brown reaction would be apparent II
! horSeflesh were present.
Pork and beef do rot give this peculiar
| tiuge The pork butchers reJoiced and
| prepared to push the wished-for legislation.
The horseneat men had card up their
| sleeves however. and commenced adding
! little flour 10 the sausage meat. When the
! iodat..d water was applied contact Wit bthe
| starch OF the flour immediately produced a
| brilliant blue which eifectualIy masked all
| traces of any other color. This blue, ,ofcourse,
| would point TO the likelihood of horsemeat,
| being present, bltit could not be sworn 10.
| Surprising the meat TO be pure beef and the
flour added the blue would be the same when
| the test was applied.
! The chemist again went to work and dis
covered that if the starch was separated by
| maceration and Observation-Disclosures andth
! residue treated with two or three chemicals
the horseneat would be detected. So far the
victory rests with the chemists, and the law
will probably be passed unless the borsemaat
men make another discovery. In 1882
20 600 hoFScs were Slaughtered in Paris,
| three-fouTths of which went into sausages,
so that the Importance OF the industry may

CIRCUMSTANCES EVERYTHING

The attitude of Secretary Carlisle on
Neutrality-suspicious. now may bedifferent from
that which marked his views several years
ago. but il must be remembered that cir
cumstances are different and that he is not
at present acting in the capacity of a
politician seeking office. 1t is safe to assert
that nine -tenths OF the silver men who
dependupon votes te give themoffice would
have a Carlisle record Were they placed
in the same position.
Their conduct and public expressions
are guided entirely by the wishes of those
on whose suffrages they depend, subject,
of course, to the dictates of party. They
are politicians from policy, sycophants
from necessity, and generally hypocrites
so long as they are public office seekers.
But few such men have the courage of
conviction. When they do and are able
they become silver advocates for the good
of the country, and not for selfish aggran-
dizcment
The present silver boom is a striking
illustration OF political hypocrisy. A num-
ber of members of Congress who voted 20
repeal the Sherman act, and who while in
Washington refused TO actively push the
cause of silver, are now in the country on
their knees before that idol. When oppor-
tunity offered they ran tc-cover, but now
that they can declaim without danger Of
being responsible for legislation they are
the loudest and the bravest of the silver
phalanx."
A close study OF the silver question
reveals an important feature. 1t is not a
want of more money that creates the de-
mand for bmetaIlifm, hut mercy that
viii do away with the present cumbersome
/ system of transferring bullion for inter
national trade. That money must come
/ through international himetal lism, and
! our efforts should be directed to obtain
+ that necessity rather than to bolster up
aud provide a livirg for clamorous office
/ seekers.

GEN. WILLIAM coGswELL.

The death of General Cogswen takes
away from the House one Of the most in-

public loss.

THE FIRST STEP TAKEN.

The best feature iu the resolution pre-
seuted by the Columbia Typographical
Union for the extension of the civil service
law 70 the Government Printing Office is
the request that il be done ION a basis of
personal merit and practical qualifications
and ability" If the employees OF the Of
flee are willing 10 enter the civil service on
the same conditions and terms required
of others who pass examinations this
proposition is commendable and deserves
praise.
There is, perhaps, one thing connected
with the extension of the civil service law
to the Printing Office not generally under
stood. 1t will open the way for the use OF
machines, and destroy the ability OF the
Typographical Union TO resist their In
PRODUCTION Employees under the civil
service law have no need of organization.
The law is their rule and guide, and from it
there is no appeal. The commission,
through its agent, the Public Printer,
would discharge and employ, and the life
time permanency OF employees who are com :
peteut and faithful would prevent a general
and successful strike against the intro
ductiou collaborating machinery.
AS question of public policy and IN the
interests of Washington and the employees
the resolutions OF Columbia Typographical
Unionshouldmeet withfavor. T oralong time
Senators, Representatives and prominent
officials have foreseen that the reorganiza
tion OF the Government Printing Office was
necessary, on the ground OF economy and
good service. The employees have taken
the initiative and the first important step
is over. Their action win no doubt meet
the approval Of the President, and iu tine
the office win become part Of the civil
service system.
