TO BLOW UP TREES AND sTUMPs
That Is What the County Wants With
10000 Pounds of Dynamite.

The county commissioners have adver-
tised for bids for 10000 pounds of dyna-
mite and to those unfamiliar with the
work now in progress this may seem
strange. There is wanted 5000 pounds with
40 per cent of nitro-glycerine and 5000
pounds with 60 per cent Of that explosive
in the powder.
The county has been paying Il to 10
cents a pound for the dynamite accord
ing to the strength and uses OF it in the
shape of eight ounce cartridges. The dyna-
mite is used in the county drainage work
to clear the paths through which the
canals are TO run. A great quantity of it
has been used in the construction of the
new Casey canal
1t is found easier and cheaper to get
tree stumps and logs out o the way with
this explosive than by cutting them down
and then cutting them up. In some in
stances after digging around the root the
explosive is put under the tree and the
whole thing blown out of the ground.
Another method is 10 cut down the tree,
and then blow the stump out of the
ground with one, two or three of the cart
ridges according to its size. Those who
have never seen this work done have
little Idea of the ease with which these
distractions are thus gotten rid Of

buckets of water with them.

n duty on wool and revising the wooden
schedule will be passed by the house of
representatives, but 1t Is hardly possible
for such n measure to pass the senate,
and II by any chance It should do so it
would certainly be vetoed by the presi-
dent. Free wool is the cardinal feature
of Mr.. Cleveland's plan of tariff reform.
1t was in advocacy of this that he wrote
his memorable message in 1887, and
there is no reason to suppose that he is
any less earnest now than he was then
in the belief that free wool is ncces-
slty for the American people. If the
republicans adopt the proposed changes
in the tariff which the measures already
introduced provide for they will do so,
of course, in expectation that the prcsi-
dent will disapprove, and therefore
from a sense of duty both as to pro-
viding more revenue and checking the
decadence of a very important industry.

PROPOSED T1RIFF CHANGES

Already bills have been introduced in
congress proposing changes in the tariff,
chiefly in the wOolen schedule. and to
| take wool from the free list and impose
duties on it. One of these measures
proposes to restore certain sections of
| the Mckinley law, including that on
| tin plate and the agricultural schedule.
some of the house republicans not to
allow the tariff to be ignored by this
congress, but until the ways and means
committee is announced no Judgment
can be formed aS to the chances for
legislation affecting the tariff.
1t was expected that an effort would
be made to put Il duty on wool, for
nearly every prominent republican in
congress has declared in favor of doing
this and the wool growers of the coun-
try urge 1t. The representatives of this
interest, in convention mt Washington,
appealed to congress to restore the
duties on wool, and short time since
the executive committee of the National
Association of Wooden Manufacturers
adopted resolution asking that wool
shall be again made dntiable. Thus
the producers and the manufacturers
are united in demanding legislation for
the protection of the wool industry,
which has been badly hurt by the pres
ent tariff. The argument which the
advocates of free wool most relied upon
was that it would benefit the mnnufac-
turer and the consumer without doing
any harm to the wool grower. 1t now
appears from the action of tire manu-
facturers that they have derived no
advantage from free wool and il is not
apparent that the consumers have been
very materially, if at all, benefited
while there is no question that the wool
growers have been very seriously hurt
They all make the same report of heavy
loss as the result of aboishing the wool
duty, careful estimates placing the ag-
gregate loss to this interest ut tens of
millions. The decreased duties on
woolens has caused n flood Of cheap i'm
ported goods. which have stalled the
markets, and already American wooden
mills have been compelled to reduce
production. Operating forces are being
cut down as the demand for American
goods decreases, and the outlook is for
the suspension of operations altogether
by many mills. One of the ill-effects
of the present tariff Is the impetus II
has given to the importation and use of
cheap substitutes for wool. Some idea
of the extent of this is obtained from
the statement that while under the Me
Kinley tariff the importation of foreign
shoddy, waste, rags, etc, amounted In
four years to 1,350O0O pounds, during
the first year of the present tariff there
was imported of these materials no less
than lT,600,O00 pounds.

Herald to the tribute Of praise to Turkish
kindness of heart recently offered in an in

massacres by these Turkish butchers within
the memory Of persons now living as fol-
lows, her fgupss being taken from authori-
tatiye statements:., 1922, Greek Christians
in Chios masaaered $4,000; sold into slavery,

tlans; ls9i@ 1900 Armenian Chris
tians in Sasaepn; 1895, 1900 Armenians.
In seyenty-three years these kind-hearted
Turks have massacred between $4,000 and
l0O,O 900 Christians. In view of this hideous
cruelty Mrs Howe is justified in her state
ment that "An empire in which these things
are chronic and apparently incurabie is an
arachronism in: the nineteenth century and
disgrace to civilization. To abolish Turk
ish misrule is the plain and urgent duty Of
civilized nations and the speediest way Of
doing 1t will be the most merciful." EVIL
