-Perhaps Carrara Of an marble Is most

Perhaps Carrara of all marbles is most
femous and best known. 1t is always used
in the finest statues. The Apuan Alps of
Italy hold the quarries. Indeed, the noun
tains are nearly solid marble and 1000
years work has not made much impress
sion on their treasures. The marble is of
such a delicate white that it is sensitive
1t will turn blood-color violet or dull if
touched with quick-lime wine or oil. Be
sides being used for statues this white
stone has been fashioned into guitars,
violins aud other musical Instruments
There are 200 quarries in the mountains
and forty-two saving establishments: lis
laboratories of sculpture; the carrying of
the marble requires $50 peop,e, 300 pairs
of oxen. 600 or ECO carts. One hundred
thousand tons of marble year are ex-
ported and 5000 people work in the quar-
ries.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
England is about the only country in
the world which is now doing anything
to combat that greed of the few and de-
fusion Of the many which is keeping the
nations on the verge of war. She has
not turned her back upon commercial lib
erty. She does not threaten dire things
every time she sees other countries in
creasing their trade with one another nor
even when she sees her colonies increasing
their trade with foreign lands even at the
expense of their trade with the mother
country
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem)
says: Theodore Roosevelt is very In
telligent man. He saw how President
Cleveland was blamed for conditions that
resulted from the Harrison administration,
and he does not purpose to have his ca
reer ruined i'm an attempt to meet the
effects of President Mckinley's mistakes.
TO use a hOmey proverb, he believes In
letting every man skin his own skunks"
No doubt John Hay feels much the same.
They are both sensible young men, and be-
lieve that President Mckinley should be
his own scapesoat."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem) says:
Gen. Alger is not delicately organized,
and will hold on to that which belongs to
him. He accepted the Office of Secretary
of War for four years. and did not agree
10 refrain from looking out for himself
ut the END OF that period, This is not a
matter of sentiment, so much as it is bust
ness. The indelicacy is on the part of
the sun ana other newspapers which are
trying to force Alger out of the war de-
partment."
The Baltimore Sun CDem) says: ITO
denounce trusts merely because they are
big. or rich. or a novelty, is absurd. 1t
is the evil they do. or may do, in raising
prices that makes them Objectionable
which evil, unhappily. is a merit in the
eyes of Mr.. Bryan and the protectionsts
Trusts are a means to an end. So long
as our politicians approve of the end their
denunciations of the means will continue
to be mere empty talk"
