using was in the log in Georgia two
months ago. Many do not think what it
means to get this material in that distant

1t to Fairfield, and have it ready for use
In that short time. 1t would have taken
that long to reach Georgia so years ago
This mill is being built by local COM

1t is one of the first duties of Congress

CONGRESS SHOULD PROVIDE SUI
FICIENT REVENUE.

1t is al admitted fact, known to every
body that the revenues of the government
ale unequal to the expenditures. The
Wilson tariff law has not produced enough
revenue for the needs of the government
and there is no immediate prospect that
ii will. During the last two years the
government has borrowed 1852, 900, 900 and
though it has all been borrowed ostensi-
bly, for the reserve fund it is beyond dis
rute that very large part of it has been
used Indirectly to make up the deficiency
of revenue to pay current expenses. The
President in his annual address did not
complain of lack of revenue, indeed he did
not admit that the revenue was deficient,
and he did not ask Congress for more
money And the reason he did not was
if the statements of his admirers are
credible, that he wanted Ito put the Re-
publicans in a hole.'' That is not d very
creditable purpose to animate the head
of great nation. Presidents are sup
posed to be above playing at politics in
dealing with the legislative branch of the
government. To Mr.. Cleveland such a
purpose is particularly discreditable be-
cause he has posed as straightfor ward

Ambassador Bayard deserves severe
rebuke for his speeches in England. He
is the representative of the whole Ameri-
can people, not of part of them, and is
under obligation to counterfeit respect for
them if he does not feel it. Yet on one
occasion he characterized them as turbu-
lent folks who needed strong hand to
restrain them, and on another stigma
tized tariff policy to which half of them
are committed in words that placed it
on the level of stealing. If Mr.. Bayard s
own sense of propriety does not deter him
from such speeches as he is alleged to
have made it is eminently proper that the
representa- tiyes of the American people
should call him down.

strong Democratic city, but it was hoped
that the excellent administration Mr.
Curtis had given the city would receive
the recognition it deserved in the reelec-
ton of Mr. Curtis Quincy's career in the
state department was characterized by
the strongest kind of partizanship and

signalized by clean sweep as far as pos

INTERESTING FACTS
Mr.. pERABo AND THE cAIcKsRING PLANO.

1t is Row thirty years since I first used
the Chickering piano, and I have never
accorded it any public praise except that
of using it. This silence has been caused
by the shameful warfare between the
traders. who, without one spark Of artis-
tic sense, have paraded their selfish inter-
ests on every sheet in both hemispheres.
Shrinking from the din of such coarse
controversy, sincere and DISTINGUISHED
musical Judgment naturally seeks shelter
in an inner circle of refinement and ST.
lence, despairing to enter, without loss
OF self respect, that commercial sphere
which We're it honorably man
aged, would be the most potent of all
factors in securing to true merit it's de-
sired appreciation.
Under these circumstances, the fact
that no pecuniary Or other extraneous
motive has ever been offered to induce
me to use the Chickering piano speaks
for itself with sufficient force / always
choose this piano because in my long
study of the great masters L have never
found SO true nm interpreter of their ge-
MUS, OF one whose workmanship can SO
uniformity be deepened upon, whether
considered POLITICALLY or technically. The
keyboard is most agreeable to the touch,
evenly graded, while the bass has nu-
sical fullness as satisfying in it's power
as the -proportioned treble is in its
deeply vocal and finally fute-like
quality. The orchestral gradations from
double-bass to flute are most admirably
given, better than upon any other instru
ment l have ever played. The tone is
purely mellow and musical, and lends
itself as readily to the orchestral blending
as to the more delicate conditions OF
chamber music. Finally the action is
so we'll and evenly regulated that, in all
my long public service, have never
found is necessary to use the soft pedal,
the touch being quite sufficient to pro-
duce every variety of shading.
The gentlemen composing the firm
have never asked me to make any written
statement about their instruments. This
notice is entirely voluntary on my part
make 1T because it is just to both sides.
and because | consider the result of their
great and patient labors, noble contri-
button to the refining influences to be
found and experienced in that oft-neg.
lected sphere-the innermost region of
our nature.

The Tri-City Railway company will
hereafter operate the bridge line
upon loop in Davenport. instead OF
running north on Scott to a switch
and thence directly back to Second.
The new plan notwithstanding
the cars east from Scott on Third
street as far as Harrison and thence
south to Second and east to the
bridge.
This was determined upon because
of the necessity Of running trailers
the greater portion of the time.
Heretofore when a trailer was at
tached to a motor it was necessary
to run up to the switch on Scott
street. drop the trailer. run over the
switch and back down past it on the
west track, then push the trailer
around by hand. This operation
makes considerable extra work for the
motorfeer and conductor and occa-
sions much loss of time. Some time
ago an ingenious crew conceived the
idea Of carrying short, thick piece
of wood with which to bunt the cars
over the switch with the motor, but
this scratched the side OF the cars
and was stopped as soon as discov-
cred by Supt. Huntoon. In the win
ter time this would be a cold job for

The refusal OF Camp 800. NJ. W. 4.
to further accept the assessments OF
saloonkeepers may precipi:ate legal
proceedings against the order-at
any rate the action has created con-
siderable dissatisfaction, although it
is sustained by the fundamental
principles of the organization and
the head officers. In December.
1883, The Woodmen head camp meet
ing passed law, operative thereaf-
ter, that no one conducting saloon
business could become member OF
the order. This law did not effect
saloonkeepers belonging prior to its
adoption.
Strict adherence was not given the
law. and it was accordingly revived
at the last camp meeting. Island
City camp has since given the mat.
ter thorough investigation, and the
stand against saloonkeeper members
is the result. Clerk Hellpenstell
communicated with both Consul
Northcott and Head Clerk Halves,
to remove all question of doubt. and
responses affirmative of the laws

There are three saloonkeepers in

have been refused. and what recourse
they will seek will be watched with
interest.
