sided. - .
Mr.. Healy said as far as most of the
pEoyisip Of the present Land bill were
|, con cernsd not one of them would have
been fairly and honestly administered by
the judges. The bill, as a whole, how
ever. except the purchase clauses, was
hot one TITLE shred Of benefit to the vast
TAI ii1 hdfing Ropulat ton of Ireland. At the
asa1neE time, the admission of certain ex-
soN1ded Glasses to the DILL would probably
bring relief to some 10000 or 10000 far
mers,r but beyond that limited body he
asserted fearlessly that the bill did not
bring q benefit to the rest of the agricul-
tural classes, so far as it's tenure clauses
went. The first they, the farmers of Ire
land, wanted was the shortening of the
Judicial term, and the bill did not provide
for, that. The Importance Of the class of
future tenants who were excluded from
the bill could be judged of from the fact
that under the eviction made-easy clause
of the bill of 1887 no less than 80 900 Irish
tenants have had their tenancies broken.
They actually proposed to import into
this bill what the House Of Commons re-
jected in 1881, by majority of 100 votes
namely that the enjoyment Of inn
provements should be deemed compensa-
ton for them. There was great talk
of getting amendments on this bill. He
confessed he was somewhat skeptical on
that subject, but if there were amend
ments inserted in that bill the House of
Lords would pass its sponge over it, as it
did ii. 1881 and 1887.

Something New In windmiils.

The old-time windmill-that tower
Ing skeleton of ribs and fans with
which we are familiar-has recently
been improved in a fashion that
promises much better results--an in
creased rate ofpower and much greater
ease of management. Instead of fans
or arms turning over and over, wheel.
fashion, the conditions are reversed,
the axle being perpendicular, and the
fans turning from side to side. This
arrangement has advantages, In that
the machinery can be made stronger,
and by an ingeniously contrived set Of
levers the fans open and close auto
matically. This is of great Importance.
IS a sudden gale is liable to wreck an
ordinary windmill on short notice.
With this new device, 1t is claimed that
no matter how rapidly the fans may re.
volve, they will catch the wind only at
the proper time, the other side opening
to give free passage to the air; thus the
higher the gale, the higher the rate of
speed and the more effective the
machinery. II is said that in windy
countries enough power can be gener
ated to run u small dynamo The
greatest value OF windmill is in coun.
tries where continual pumping OF
water is necessary for purposes of irri.
cation. A windmill constructed on
this new principle costs no more than
the old style, is infinitely more effect
i've, less liable to get out OF order. and
has a greater variety Of uses than any
heretofore made.

The orator or newspaper that at

Withholding important information
will be found out.
II has been the habit, for instance
for gold standard orators and golt
standard newspapers 10 assert at
every opportunity that from the
opening of the United States minis
until 1873 there were but about
SS,000,000 of silver coined in the
United States. The language is
varied. but the effort is made to
leave the impression on the minds
of the people that SS,0O0.OO0 repre-.
sents the total coinage of silver
during the period named. a sub
scriber at Harrington writes that
Congressman Kirkpatrick made u
statement of this kind recently in n
speech delivered at that place.
Now. the facts are that there were
but about S,090OO0 silver dollars
coined during this period, although
the total silver coinage amounted
TO nearly $2O0,OO0,OGO. 1t is not nee.
essary to be exact in order to illus
;rate the point aimed at.
In ascertaining The number OF
silver dollars coined, Mr.. Kirkpai-
rick could hardly have failed to no.
tice that they constituted but "a
very small per cent of the total
coinage of silver, and il was his
duty 10 direct the attention of his
audience 10 this fact. In this con-
nection he should have told his
hearers also that the reason there
were so few dollars coined in pro-
portion 10 the total coinage was
that during much OF this period
the coinage ratio in this country
between silver and gold was l6 to ]
while in France il was ISL to l, so
that il paid better TO sell the silver
to France.
But when il came to fractional
coins it was different, because while
a silver dollar contained Sill
grains of pure silver, fractional
silver dollar contained but 347l,
grains of pure silver. 1t. therefore.
was perfectly natural that the sill
yer coinage should be made in
fractional coins rather than in dol
lars.
Our Harrington correspondent
sends figures showing that the
total silver coinage for the period
1892. 1872 alone amounted TO SILL
