MAKING Bricks WITH OIL.
Found to BE Cheaper and Better Than
Any other Fuel.

FOUND TO be Che0peR ana Better En0n
Any other Fuel.
An experiment of considerable in
terest to brick manufacturers and deal
ers has been tried in a brickyard in New
York state, fuel oil being used instead
of wood or coal oil to burn a kiln of
bricks. Fuel oil is the product left after
crude petroleum has been refined. 1t
has been.used for some time as fuel for
engines and furnaces, but its adapta-
bility for the more delicate operation
of br.-ning pottery or bricks lisa recent
discovery. The success of the expert
ment, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, is
likely to reduce the cost of brick MAX
ing in considerable degree. Forced
draught is an important factor in the
system, and by it the heat from the
burner can be directed at n uniform
temperature toward any part Of thu
arch of the kiln. The oil runs in pipes
around the base ce the kiln and food;
directly from the burner in the arch j.,
the interior. The forced draught "feed,'
in with the oil, and by the turnir~ Of
n valve the heat can be regulated ut any
point within the arch. ...
1t is claimed that the use of oil II
much cheaper than that of either conl
or wood for brick burning. The cost oe
burning 1000 bricks with wood at fv~
dollars cord is so cents; the ccstr-'l,c-'-
coal is used is so cents; with oil he COS
is SO cents. In burning bricks with wool
II men are required every "a hpurc:;'
oil is used two men can. do the VOL.
The new method is quicker, conrlctir~
the burning of the kiln in six DAYS. IT,
stead of seven or eight, as formerIv. md
the bricks are better, because with tn
forced air draught the temperature CT
the kiln is entirely under control.

Hail to the Twelfth.

The Twelfth Minnesota, the old Second
regiment, will be here today. The boys
did not have the happiness Of serving
their country on the field OF battle, but
have been cramped in. death-environed
camps during the past months. They
went forth with willing hearts to fight
in such manner as might seem good
to the governing powers. They have
suffered and taken chances with death
in such fashion as they would not If
they had been hurried to the front.
The regiment COMES back with Its
ranks sadly thlnned by disease and
camp fever. Twenty-Five per cent OF
the men are on sick report.
They are welcome home, and let US
make them feel that the friends they
left in st. Paul are filled with a glad
welcome for them. They fought with
more insidious foes than the Spaniards,
and to the survivors Minnesota gives
thanks, as the sovereign state of
nation may thank her sons when they
have bravely done that which it was
appointed them to do.
May the members of the Twelfth live
as long and happily as they will re-
main in the grateful remembrances Of
people that appreciates the sacrifices
they made when they offered them
selves for the saving Of the honor Of
our common country.

The First District.

1t has been appointed to the Hon.
Milo White to redeem the First dis
trict of Minnesota from the political
condition to which 1t has been reduced
by the ascendancy of Congressman
Tawney. For four years the First dis
trict has been a political satrapy Of the
Republican party with Tawney for
its governor. Tawney is a shifty poll
tician. His supporters never claimed
anything better for him than that he
was a sharp practitioner in politics. He
has had some success in dividing the
spoils Of office in his district; he haA
been efficient in securing political pre-
ferment for his followers.
Mr.. White has been selected to Oh
pose him. The leader of the opposition.
is known to every voter in the First
district. He stands head and shoulders
above Tawney in everything that goes
to make the man and the congressman.
He will make an active and intelligent
campaign. If the people Of the First
do not elect him, it will be a distinct
reflection on their intelligence.
No argument is necessary for the
furthering Of Mr.. Whites fortunes as
against those of Tawney. The latter
is a time-serving politician who is in
office for the purpose of securing for
the political bosses of his district what
ever is to be had in the way of pub
lie pap. Mr.. White would represent
the district and the state with honor
and intelligence.

The Condition of the Navy.

Natural and unavoidable hardships
caused the loss of life and the preva-
lence of disease in the army, 1t has
been claimed by the apologists for the
administration. Then why did not the
navy suffer? Through all the months
Of the blockade the men in the navy
sweltered between steel decks under a
tropical sun. There was ceaseless vigil
on the part Of every man in the several
blOckading squadrOns; loOkouts were
doubled everywhere, and the ship dis
cipline was such that the toll was well
nigh incessant. In the holds Of
ships, down in the sitting atmosphere
of the stoke holds, men sweltered
through all the summer, and yet they
did not die.
When Sampson and his fleet took up
the blockade of Santiago the suffering
and hardships Of the crews were I'M
Imaginable; their vigil was never sus-
pended, and when Cervera made his
appearance the men were instantly at
quarters, showing that the watchful-
ness was never relaxed. Yet they did
not die. The mortality in the ships
was no more than usual. In the fleet
of Admiral Dewey in the seas about
the Philippines there was constant
work and wakeful watchfulness night
and day, yet the sick bay was never
overlooking. And why?
The navy is a business institution,
conducted by men trained to their pro-
fession. The ships were not differed
by politicians who had pull" with
the administration. So soon as the AL
gers and their parasites are gotten out
Of the army there will be no more men
ace to humanity in that branch of the
service than there is in the navy.

7hirtY-SM Years Ago Today.

Just thirty-six years ago this morning at 2
O'Clock, the First Minnesota regiment was
reused from sound slumbers on the field at
Antietam, and coffee and leaden bullets were
served to the men as preliminares to what
proved to be one of the worst battles of the
war. Before dinner time the regiment lost
LAT men in killed and wounded
AT a. m. the regiment started on a
march of three-fourths of mile across an
open field, covered with dead and wounded,
and under a heavy artillery fire. Reaching
the other side, the Union forces drove the
Confederates into a corn field, where the lat
ter meeting reinforcements made a deter
mined stand and hot musketry fire ensued
Later the regiment retired under orders
and took refuge behind a stone wall.
The history of Minnesota troops in the civil
war declares that this was the most sangui-
nary engagement of the battle, the losses of
the Second corps being very heavy.
Though less renowned than the famous
charge Of the same regiment at Gettysburg
1t was none the less bloody encounter.

rlR. CLEVELAND IS CRITICISED

Correspondence The New York Times.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-The criticism of
the measures of the Cleveland administration
to maintain the treasury gold reserve, which
is printed in the Republican textbook for the
campaign Of 1898, is exciting much sharp
comment from sound money Democrats and
friends Of Mr.. Cleveland, who think that they
made possible the election Of President Nc
Kinley. 1t is only one Of several indications
of Republican ingratitude. they declare,
which are likely soon to fill the Gold Demo-
Gratis with such disgust that they will stay
away from the polls in November if they
do not vote for conservative Democratic can
did2tes for the house.
The proposition in the campaign textbook
to which these sound money Democrats OBJ
ject is, in substance. that the rate of inter-
est at which the treasury has recently float
ed per cent bonds which have resulted In
a saving to the treasury of Sos, 694 620 in
thirty days, as compared with the actual rate
at which the four loans were foated by Mr.
Cleveland for the maintenance of the gold
reserve.
One Of the Gold Democrats said today, in
speaking Of this sta ement;
1.-The writer in the campaign textbook Is
not content however with the real difference
which could have been shown between the
rates obtained during the years OF depreS-
sion from 1898 to 1895 and the rates of 1898,
but deliberately falsit1es the figures in order
to strengthen the indictment against Mr.
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. The prin-
cipal Of the loans hoated by the Cleveland
administration is given at $262, 315, AGO. No
reference is made to the handsome premiums
derived from the sale Of these bonds, some
OF which were placed as high as ali per
cent, while the recent loan was placed at par,
except that the author Of the attack upon
Mr.. Cleveland says: Now, let us see what
these bonds would have cost premium barred
If issued under the same terms as those au-
thorized by q Republican congress-
"The insertions Of the two little words
premium barred may be intended by the
author to save his conscience, but 1t does
not mitigate the disgust which is felt for
the misrepresentation Of the handbook
among some of the Democrats who had in
tended to contribute to the election of sound
money members Of the house in Maryland
West Virginia. Pennsylvania, New York. New
Jersey and Indiana.

committee goes on to declare and how EASY
1t was to float 3 per cent bond was shown
by the extraordinary demand Of the Dublic
for the $200 COZ, 600 placed in small sums last
July at that rate. The author is ignorant of
or chooses to ignore the fact that no law
upon the statute book permitted the issue of
3 per cent bonds in 1894 Secretary Carlisle
came as near as he could to issuing a per
cent bond, and in fact issued a loan on bet
ter terms than the recent Republican loan
when he placed the whole Of the first loan
or $o0,eO0,G9O in 1894 at premiums which
brought into the treasury sos, $50, 81 and re-
duced the net return upon the bonds to a
good deal less than per cent.
The second loan, placed in November 1894
was also placed at a net return Of less than
per cent, and bonds for $50. 900. 900 brought
into the treasury $5S, 5SS 500. Both these loans
were placed under conditions of extreme I'M
certainty in the business community grow
ing out of the effects of the Republican silver
legislation Of 1890, which had saturated the
currency with silver and driven gold across
the ocean. The placing of bonds at less than
per cent under such conditions was an act
Of remarkably successful inancierIng, The
whole premiums realized on the four loans
placed by Mr.. Cleveland were more than $50
000, co., and almost wiped out in advance the
pretended loss attributed to the policy of the
CIGFeldEu administration because 1t did not
take the law into its own hands and issue a
bond at 3 per cent at par.
"But the misrepresentation Of the cam
paign handbook do not end even here. The
alleged relative expense of sos, 694 62O is
figured for some inscrutabIe reason for a
period Of thirty years. The fact is that $780,
0o0,C0O of the loans issued by Mr.. Cleveland
was issued for ten years, and can be re-
deemed at the expiration Of that term at
large saving over the rates realized by the
recent Republican war loan. Twenty years
of the computed loss upon these bonds at 8
per cent would therefore have to be deducted
from the estimates of the finencier of the
Republican textbook in order to get an ap-
Proclamation to the truth. This single fact
makes mincemeat of the entire calculation
and shows how far afeld the editors of the
textbook have seen fit to go In order to insult
President Cleveland falsify the financial
record of the administration which secured
the repeal of the Sherman law, and Sian IN
the face the million of gold Democrats WIN
made possible the election Of President Nc
Kinley and the maintenance Of the public
credit"
