Japan has just placed an immense or
der for gunpowder in this country. The
Land Of the Rising sun has proclaimed
peace with China. but she evidently
recognizes the fact that there are
others"
If our Republican friends are not
satisfied with Ben Harrison's beautiful
straddle on the currency question
there is the cool and calculating Ali
son. No man can tell where Allison
stands on the money question.
Gen. Beaver. Of Pennsylvania, is re-
ported TO have devised a new process
for making tinplate which reduces the
cost TO minimum and which it is
promised will lead to the erection Of
mills in Pittsburg and Bellefonte. We
trust it will also enable Pennsylvania
manufacturers to dispense with female
help in the rolling mills.
A bill forbidding newspapers from
publishing social gossip or the por-
traits Of persons has been killed in the
Connecticut Legislature. 1t is not
strange that the lawmakers of the
Nutmeg State should have taken that
stand. Lawmakers as a rule enjoy
these features Of the papers as much as
anybody, and maybe little more so.
Gov. Mathews. Of Indiana, says:
Reed does not know where to jump
on the currency question, and McKin-
ley is closely connected with another
subject which will not cut much of a
figure in the next campaign He
thinks it will be Harrison. If it should
come TO jumping. however. Ben isn't
jumper; but he is a dandy straddler.
We don't hear anything these days
from the Home Market Club of Boston
town. The great boom in cotton and
wooden mills and in the shoe shops ana
other manufactures of New England
under the new Democratic tariff has
pretty e0ectually closed the mouths OF
that blatant organization Of profess
sionaI prevaricators. They have prob>
ably collected their last dollar from
New England manufacturers.
The New York Hcrald's advices are
to the effect that arrangements are be-
ing made TO ship South American beef
by refrigerator steamers to the New
York market; and the statement is add
ed that even with the 20 per cent. adj
yalorem tariff there would be a good
profit in the undertaking. Bring on
your cheap South American beef. 1t
would induce the beef barons Of the
United States TO come down.
Old Granny" Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, is greatly distressed because
some uupatriotic hunters are trying to
shoot "a bald eagle which has made its
home among the tall pines Of Asne-
bumsldt. Certainly it looks as though,
if the eagle can stand the name, it
ought to be allowed TO remain there in
peace. AT any rate, it is well known
that Hoar and his New England BROTH
ers. Lodge and Frye are the recognized
guardians Of the American eagle.
There has been introduced by unani-
nous consent in the lower branch Of
the Illinois Legislature a resolution re
Questing the daughters Of Illinois not
TO marry foreigners. This action will
probably not cause foreign counts to
be quoted at any lower figure in the
matrimonial market of the western
metropolis Of pork and beef, however.
We were evidently mistaken in think
ing the bills TO regulate the size Of
theatre hats and to tax bachelors had
reached the high water mark OF legis-
lative 0siuinity.
