association being formed in Boston for
the purpose of furnishing these pap rs

direction. The present theory of sun
day papers seems to be more along the

Senators Hale and Frye dispose of the
senseless statement which had been given
currency, that they were secretly oppos-

it as utterly without foundation. and

that Mr.. Reeo will receive the united

Senator Proctor Of Vermont is quoted
as being opposed to making the tariff a
conspicuous issue of the campaign Of
lS9G, Whereat the Boston journal says
that Senator Proctor never made u state
ment that would fairly bear any such
Interpretation. He has said that the
Gofmau-Wilson act demanded correct
ions rather than general revision aud no
one seems to dispute this. This law is a
protective measure, but il is uuequally
SO. Ii IS emphatically a sectional law
and needs correction and equalization To
make it more lust and helpful to bust
ness as u whole. That the Democratic
party had MOI the capacity to formulate
a talif bill for revenue purposes i,
proven by the fact that lis operation has
produced a large deficit during the first
year of its existence It's only
virtue Is the protection left in il by
necessity. Ii will be remembered thai
President Cleveland stgmatizcd it as
the fruit of party perlidy and party
dishonOr". and moreover allowed il to
become law without his signature. He
would have extracted from it what pro-
lection there is in il and had Il tariff for
revenue only which would have created
greater business depression and uncer-
tainty than did the bill as it became law.

China and the Missionary Outrages.

1t is gratifying, says the New York
Herald, to learn from Minister DENLY
that the Chinese government is exert
ing itself to bring about adequate pun
ishment to the fanatics who committed
the diabolical outrages upon the mis-
sionaries at Kucheng. 1t is gratifying,
furthermore, to know that the admin
istration has not joined in the hue and
the Chinese government. and that, SO
far as we are officially concerned, "a
judicious spirit has been maintained
by our representative in Pekin in his
dealings with the imperial authorities.
China has just come out Of a dis
astrous conflict very much the better,
we trust, for her woful experiences,
and the lessons she has been taught by
the japanese will not be lost to West
ern civilization at largethat is to say,
if Western civilization will meet the
crushed Empire in the proper spirit.
Our course is certainly clearly point
ed QUITO avoid joining the European
Powers in bullying the Chinese, to
take our own dignifed course, to ad-
wise our missionaries to keep out of
danger, and to urge our Consular and
Ministerial representatives to work
steadily for the advancement of our
commercial relations with the great
Empire.

Speech Restored by Hypn0tism.

patients being put into the hypnotic
State. An Ohio woman. who, through
fright, was suddenly deprived of
speech six years ago, sought to have it
restored by placing herself under the
treatment of dozens of the most accom-
plished physicians in Europe and
America. She spent a fortune in vain.
and, to add to her misery, her hus-
band died while travelling with her
from doctor to doctor in Europe. AS a
last resort and while on her way back
to her native city in Ohio, after hay
ing despaired Of ever being cured, she
placed herself under the treatment of
a physician, who, through hypnotism,
in few days was able to make her
talk as we'll as ever.

TO the present method of conducting

BASSemer Pig-IrOn.

Early this year, says the Journal OF
Commerce, Bessemer pig-iron was sold
for less than $40 ton. At the end of
July it was selling for over $14 in Pitts
burg. The trade papers published in
the middle of last week reported an adj
vance of fifty cents, and in the last
three days of last week the price went
up dollar in Cleveland. Late in July
Bessemer pig was worth $14 so to
81 IS in Cleveland, and inside of a
month sales were made at $15 so, the
highest price in that market since 1890.
This is an advance in midsummer and
without very much help from the rail
way demand. A sale CT 10000 tons of
rails in Chicago last week raised great
hopes of large orders, but thus far this
year the demand for railroad bars has
been light; there has been no extensive
construction, and the renewals have
been moderate. In spite of this quiet
ness in the railway demand the price
of Bessemer pig has advanced since
the beginning of the year about 80 per
cent; most of it is an addition to net
profits, for, in commenting on the ad-
vance a few weeks ago, the Iron
Age" said there had been little ad
vance in cost to the furnace men. If
there were no profit whatever in the
prices of last January and February
the profits to the furnace men now are
enormous. In 1890 when the prices of
pig-iron were higher than at present
ore cost more than it does now. In
fact, we had occasion to notice some
time ago, before the prices of pig iron
and higher products had advanced to
the present figures, that the reduction
in the prices of crude iron and steel,
generally attributed to the business
depression, were mainly offset by the
reduction in the cost of ore. The sur
face stripping of ore beds by steam
shovels is a very new thing, and, al
though the size of the lake ore carriers
has been increasing very rapidly,
steamers for this business are in pro-
cess of construction now that are 60
per cent larger than the average of the
vessels employed last year.
