PUT AWAY DISTRUST.

The speech of Secretary Gage at the
commercial banquet in Cincinnati on FRI
day evening was marked by the eloquence
of right words fifty spoken. 1t gave utter
ance to sentiments of permanent vaiue
and yet having particular relation to the
conditions of the present time. 1t was
therefore something more than an after
dinner address, and will have beneficial
effect in steadying the public mind and
strengthening popular confidence in the
ad m inistration and in Congress.
The keynote of the speech was en-
bodied in the words, Faith and courage
lead to conquest and victory. Distrust
paralyzes and destroys" The attacks
which have been made upon both houses
of Congress and upon the pending tariff
bill have had the effect of creating discon-
tent, uncertainty and fear. AS the
speaker said, these attacks are injurious
and have sowed evil seeds in many direc-
tions. They have engendered a sentiment
of distrust dividing classes, destroying
unity and breeding hatreds." The result
mas been to retard the revival of trade and
the restoration of prosperity.
There is no justification for partisan at
tacks on the Government in any of its
branches, nor any reasonable foundation
for fears which may be felt by any class
of citizens. Speaking for the administra-
ton, the Secretary declared it would
faithfully fulfill all the pledges made to
the people during the campaign. and
added: "1n good time and in proper or
der affirmative evidence of my declaration
will appear" All assertions or suspicious
of any forgetfulness of those promises
were declared to be unjust and un-
founded"
The Secretary could not speak for Con-
gress with the same authority he has in
speaking for the administration, but he
nevertheless bore testimony to the zeal
and good faith of those in both houses
having the tariff bill in charge. His
statement on this point at Cincinnati was
confirmed by a remark made at Washing
ton almost at the same time by Senator
Vest. At the close of the days debate on
the tariff the Senator said: More prog
ress has been made in the Senate on this
bill in three days than was made on the
existing tariff in three weeks"
There is indeed every reason for the
American people to be well content with
individual industry and the Government.
There has never been a tariff bill on
which there has been less partisan fight
ing and more earnest effort to provide
for the welfare of the people and the Ma
ton. Nothing is needed to hasten the
coming of good times but relief from
the distrust that paralyzes and destroys
and return to the faith and courage that
lead to conquest and victory.
The Secretary's words OF counsel and
cheer should be read and needed by all.
In the meantime, my friends, do your
part to help those charged with the legis-
lative and administrative duties. Don't
let inertia, engendered by fear and dis
trust, creep over you. We have been pass
ing through period of great trial and
nobly we have endured the strain. The
future is not dark with fore rebodings. 1t is
illumined with rational hope"

vapor which cools during compression. the
gaseous amonic frigorlc machines are 1seu
most widely, being so-called because they en-
ploy anhydrous ammonia. In prtnclplesuc
machines consist of an evaporator or CON
gealer, lin which the evaporization OF the am
monia takes place; a pump for asplrauny tne
gas as formed in the evaporator; Hquifer or
condenser where the gas is com pressed bg the
pump. the liquefaction being aided by con-
densing stream of cold water This last mmeo
portion of the apparatus serves simply 10 re-
store the ammonia to its original state, so
that 1T may be used over and over again. In
order to utilize the low temperature obiained
by this apparatus for making ice, the usual
practice Is TO run the ammonia into coils for
evaporation. These coils being led in coils OF
brine, the evaporation robs the brine of its
heat, and cans of water being set irto the
brine are frozen. The usual sizes d cam
molds are Tor containing from 100 to 800
pounds OF ice, but within few yelrs the
manufacture OF plate ice has come to be pre-
ferred in manv quarters. These plates of ice
are about SKIS feet In size and from Il to 16
inches thick. From eight to twelve days
time is required to freeze them.
The most recent ice machines built on the
described will produce about thirty
two pounds OF ice per pound of coal consumed,
the proportion depending on the outside tenn
perature at the time.

all this refers to the genuine article-the
The waxed egg-shells and other products
OF meerschaum factories known as the
meerschaum of commerce. can never de-
ceive the man who has once tasted the
sweetness of the real meerschaum.
The raw material was first brought to
Prague Just one hundred years ago and
was first converted into pipe by Mag
var. Men have derived Unreasonable
comfort from the meerschaum pipe since
1897. 1t has been blessed by poet and
painter, statesm An and warrior. Enthusi-
asts go so far as to say that history, with
out doubt, has been diverted into new
channels by the meerschaum; that be-
cause of the cheer of the right pipe at the
right time generals have won cam
paigns, and they quote the instance of
General Lassalle, who always led his
cavalry with meerschaum between his
teeth.
The century will probably be celebrated
in Vienna, the central point of the meer-
schaum industry, and it is even suggested
that a monument be built to the memory
of Eduard Carbon, who made more good

day, the kind through whose heated bowls
needle can be passed without leaving
trace. To own one of Cartoons pipes is to
be thirty-third degree member of the
smokers order. Edwin Booth was the
possessor of one. and he is said to have re-
garded the genuine article as something
productive Of about the fullest measure of
earthly bliss. II the meerschaum has
contributed SO largely to the comfort OF
mankind it is proper that the meerschaum
centenary should not be allowed to pass

summoned a prominent chemist, for, of
course, said they, alkakange was drug. But
the chemist said that to his knowledge there
was no such thing as alkakange in all the

At this point some one suggested that they
send over to the Government Printing Office
and ask the proofreader who had revised the
law. Certainly he would know.

SUMMER TRAVEL.

The season OF summer travel is almost
upon us and soon there will be multipli-
city of life in our picturesque mountains
and by the roIlicking waves of our border
ing deep blue sea. And where on earth,
we may ask, can the tourist find more to
charm his vision, inspire his thoughts and
rejuvenate his being than here on the
Balboa shore?
The remark is frequently made with re-.
gard to Californians that they do not as
rule sufficiently appreciate their own
State. There is a large-sized grain of
truth in this. We long to view tho sights
of Europe before we have seen the wonders
of California. The great waterfalls OF
the Scandinavian Peninsula hardly COM
pare In grandeur and sublimity with our
Yosemite. We have Alpine splendors as
well as Switzerland; ; skies az blue as those
of Italy, and which are M ore balmy. Nature
mas been lavish with US in her bounties.
From the Oregon boundary down to tho
Mexican line the observant traveller will
be presented with a series of the most
varying scenic pictures to be found the
world over. Our mountain lakes are no.
where surpassed for placid beauty, and
our historic missions are replete with in
terest for the stranger. Big and small
game are found in abundance in our Mills
and forests, and fish in plenty in our nu-
merous streams. At our edwood giants,
which were saplings some where back in
Solomon's time, and have been growing
steadily ever since, the world will ne YER
cease marveling.
Our citizens in general would acquire a
deeper feeling of State pride if they would
aoquaint themselves more thoroughly by
means of travel with the State at large.
If you delight in travel and sightseeing
don't leave California until you are able
to describe to inquiring people OF the less
favored countries you may wish to visit a
few at least of the wonders OF the land
you call home.
