becomes higher than this it makes
the Office a matter of sale, and the
excess is recognized as reward for
political service, for which the people
should never be called upon to pay.

One of the first fruits Of the so call
ed gold victory last fall is the new
tariff law now before congress, which
will increase the revenues of the
nation nearly $3.50, 100000 a year,
and which the people will have to pay
indirectly. Protection to monopolies
is the first step towards return to
the promised prosperity, which the
new Republican administration is
about to take.

The Cling Of Machinery.

An investigator who likes to get
down to fine points has been figuring
OUT the aInclence il the OIiing vi
watches and locomotives. A good watch
needs oiling once in year to year
and a half. A locomotive oiled in the
same way should run sixty miles an
hour day and night for GAS days, or
nearly forty times the circumference
of the earth. He says that as locomo-
tiyes have to be oiled every day the
matchmaker must have brought his
srr to a much higher degree Of perfec-
tior than the man who has built the
locomotive. AS a matter Of fact the
cases are not parallel. The watch is
most carefully protected from the air,
dust and foreign substances. The To-
connective runs through dirt, dust. Gin
ders and debris Of all sorts, much CT
which, as q matter of course, works
into the machinery. II this man could
keep locomotive in glass case and
oil it and care for it as completely as
he does his watch, he might be able
to make some figures, but under the
circumstances he can scarcely be said
to have proven anything.

miles above Long Point. which juts into
Lake Erie from the Canadian shore, sixty
five miles west Of Buffalo. OF her crew OF
twenty-one men two were saved. Eight
hours after the disaster the steamer Mari
posa sighted the single spar which marked
the grave OF the Idaho. Clinging to that
spar, hardly out OF the reach OF the fierce
sea, were the two survivors OF the
wreck, almost frozen from the long ex-
posure in their wet garments. One OF
them had been made insane temporarily
by his ssufferincs. 1: was no light task to
rescue them from the spar. The Captain
