1t has been recently discovered that
copper, which is ordinarily cast with
alloy, may be manufactured pure. AS
compared with the finest rolled cop
per the new method of production
gives the metal an additional tensile
strength of 331s per cent, much
greater percentage of elasticity, and
a conductivity of 95 per cent. AS the
new metal is estimated to convey the
same amount of current with third
the usual amount of copper, it makes
important improvements possible in
the construction and equipment of
dynamos, motors and telegraph wire ;.
The improved copper is to be manu-
factured under the supervision Of Mr..
Edison at his Menlo Park electrical
works.

BE7TER LEGISLATION.

Congress will convene again the fif-
teenth and it is TO be hoped that the
contemplated tariff will be pushed
through as fast as possible, and thus
become a law. There cannot be any
great change in the times until we
have some good legislation, and the
longer we are in getting this the long
er we will be in getting relief. Speaker
Reed agrees with President Mckinley
that this bill should be pushed
through as soon as possible and he
will see to it that it is not allowed to
be side tracked in the House, but will
get along as fast as possible. When
it gets into the Senate it may strike a
snag, still some of the silver Senators
express willingness to pass any bill
that is to be beneficial to the country
and if they vote as they talk every
thing may yet be all right. There is
a fight in the Senate in regard to seat
ing some of the Senators and the Re-
publicans may succeed in getting
majority; even if they do not it is
cldllu6d lIlctO SOlliO vi UllO Opol0OO
owe tneir election to the help of the
Republicans, to which they pledged
themselves to vote for a protective
tariff, and with the help of these men
as well as some Democrats, who say
they will vote for it the bill will readi-
ly pass the Senate. If it is hurried
through both branches Of Congress it
may reach the President in time to
be signed and to go into effect earlier
than is expected. 1t will take some
time to pick up even then. When the
machinery all over the country can
be started up thus giving the thou
sands of idle men work, things will
begin to improve everywhere, the
farmer will then have market for
his productions because the laboring
people have work and consequently
money with which to buy; this will
help not only the farmer, but all
classes of people.

Before leaving Office Mr.. Cleveland
affixed his signature to bill provid
ing indemnity for the loss of register
ed letters. For some time the ar
rangemenU has been worked success
fully in other countries and is expect
ed to give satisfaction here. The
principle of the new law is already re-
cognized by express companies. The
limit of indemnity or any single let
ter or package is fixed at $40, and
care will be taken not to pay that
sum where it is not clearly due. The
registered mail is a part of the public
service yielding larger profits than
any other in proportion to the bust
ness done, and very small percent
age of registered mail packages is ir-
recoverably lost. 1t is estimated that
on the present basis of the service
every lawful claim could be met and
still leave large surplus of earnings.
1t is expected, however, that the new
law insuring letters up to SO for a.
small extra charge, will greatly in
crease the registered mail business
and considerably swell the profits.

THE SENATE AND THE Tariff.

There is no longer any doubt that
the new tariff bill for which the whole
country is waiting, and which will be
passed without delay by the house of
representatives, will not meet with
factious opposition in the senate.
Of the group of silver republicans
who hold the balance of power in the
senate, has given assurance that the
silverites have no objection TO the re
turn of prosperity if it can be accom-
plished by republican methods. He
realizes that the obstruction of
measure which large majority of.
the people believe to be essential to
the welfare of the country would be
an exhibition of partisanship that
would recoil on the heads of it's au-
thors. Democrats might be capable
of SO stupid blunder, but Senator
Teller and his associates have been
trained in the school of great poll
tical organization that has been led
with consummate wisdom, and they
have not yet become Bourbons.
While the success of the republican
tariff is assured, it would be mistake
to look for it's enactment into law
earlyin the spring. The senate moves
with great deliberation, and while
the opponents of the bills will not re-
sort to filibustering tactics to defeat
it, they will use the utmost freedom
of legitimate debate We should say
that the republican managers would
have good cause for congratulation if
the fruit of their labors receives the
signature of President Mckinley. by

There are a great many newspa-
pers and scolding politicians in the
country that are venting all their
spleen on 'strusts''. These combina
tions are bad enough without doubt,
but we have no doubt that a very
large share of those who are bowling
about their trusts would be in them
selves if they could be with a pros
pect of money making. We notice
that trusts collapse about as often as
smaller business concerns, and Judge
that the ordinary laws of business
and things apply to them. So keen
is the Yankee business man and ordi
nary competition that few combina-
tions which are money making can
stand long against the competition
which is liable to bring up against
them. Tt is pretty hard work to over
come the influence of wealth or mon
ey. Those who have it are able, if
wise, to profit by its possession. It is
hard to legislate property out of the
hands of its owners, or to make poor
and non successful men prosper.

eral distinguished officers of the

Vermont troops. Their report, as
we'll as that of many other competent
Judges, was that their marching was
uuexcelled by the regulars. Gen.

Vermont; Major General Miles, COM
manding the United States army and
Brigadier General Ruggles, adjutant
general of the army, could not say
too many mplimentary things in
praise of the Vermont boys. The
Vermonters had better cars and bet
ter service than any other troops
there. The music of the 21st infantry
band was unexcelled, and were it
not for the green sprigs in the caps
of the men they would have been
taken for regulars; in fact, some
wondered why the 21st infantry wore
green sprigs.

traditional English policy as to the
rights of English citizens abroad.
Lord Palmerston defined it in saying:
"We assume that an Englishman is
necessarily in the right and that his
cause is deserving of our champion
ship" That is why Spain has not
destroyed English property and i'm
prisoned English citizens in Cuba.
Our laws guarantee and provide the
same protection to American citizens.

American citizens? Why does Spain
insult and outrage American citizen

consequences?
