1t seems to be fond of hard labor. One
thing is very pleasant about the work
the bird does, and that is that it can
never get hungry while performing it.
The work, indeed. consists of eating
and drinking. When the siskin wants
to drink, he cannot reach the water
holder like any other Gagged bird. He
has to draw water from well by
means of tiny oaken bucket, and
then, planting his feet upon the slack
of the bucket cord, he holds the buck

OUR MINING PROGRESS.
This Country as she Mining


The quality and value of the mineral
products of the United States form a sood
barometer of Industrial prosperity. Min
eral industries are more directly affected
by commercial changes than almost any
others. since the crude products of the
mines serve as a starting point Tor most
manufacturing enterprises. Any indus
trial expansion must be anticipated by a
c-orrespondingly increased supply OF the
crude minerals necessarily involved. This
is a different condition of affairs from that
prevalent only a few years ago, and N the
minds of many, the mineral product still
consists of whatever the ~prospector hap
pens to discover and mine. To these min
ing means speculation-nothing more.
Perhaps even the majority of business

greater values than we import. Not only

eral years of declining industrial activ-
ity, a glance over the field shows a great
aggregate of capital invested i n idle
mines and their accessories. That this is
a serious, even critical. condition for the
capital involved will be appreciated by
considering the rapidity with which an

The News" gave over three columns OF
space yesterday TO the reply ofc. G, Yer
meule to Special Pleader Rafter. the
Board of Trade fafsifier of the water
question. This was not because we APP
prove the East Jersey contract. We still
believe that bargain to be utterly bad and
totally inimical to the interests of the
city, upon grounds not, touched in any
way either by Mr.. Rafter or vermeule.
Our motive in affording the space was
simply a love of fair play and a desire
TO foster the interests of ruth.
The Board of Trade gave Rafter a gem
eral charter as libeiler of Mr.. vermeule
and all the officials of the city who had
anything to do with the water question.
He made the most of it. He did all that
acter and asperse the motives of public
men. Incidentally. he obscured and en-
tangled the general subject in a way most
injurious to the public interests. He scat
tered ~falsehoods and fallacies in the
public mind as a sower scatters seeds

ONE of the saddest spectacles of POI
litical depravity ever witnessed in this or
any other country was the dinner to Tom
Plat at Albany, last evening. That the
dominant party in the greatest State in
the Union should thus do homage to the
genius of political corruption and tyranny
is hurniliating to every citizen who has
the least regard for the purity and per-
manenc of our Institutions.
