When we get far enough from the
homes OF grief for US To see the thing
in all its bearings We must conclude,
says the Brooklyn Eagle, that the re-
suits of this war Will be cheap at the
price which We pay for them The
broadening, lifting influence on ma
tional life cannot be measured, neither
can its value be estimated. The old
idea of freedom is taking on new vi
tality and the assurance that govern
ment by the people shall not perish
from the earth is growing more Ger
tain 1t was Stanley who with a fine
impotence scorned the sentimentaIists
who complained because he had been
compelled to put bullet holes through
a few negroes to let light into darkest
Africa. While We may regret the
necessity for the sacrifice, let us not
make the mistake of regretting that
there are men willing TO fill in the
rough places with their dead bodies
that freedom may have a smooth path
way, and that there are women proud
of their sons who meet such a death.

BRITISH SMJIGGlERS.
CAVES ON THE COAST WHERE CON
TRABAno GOODS WERE sTCREO.

The Goods Were slowed AWAY in the Cav

A very curious feature OF the coasts
of England, where ROCKY or wild, Is the
trenched and banked up paths from the
caves along the coast These are no
ticeabIe in Devon and Cornwall and
along the Bristol channel That terri
BILE sea front consists Of precipitous
walls OF rock, with only here and there
a dip. where a brawling stream has
sawed its course down 10 the sea, and
here there is. perhaps, a-ssandy shore
of diminutiye proportions and the
rocks around are pierced in all diree-
lions with caverns- The smugglers for
merly ran their goods into these caves,
when the weather permitted. or the
preventive men Were not on the look
out They slowed away their goods
in the caves and gave notice TO the
farmers and gentry of the neighbor-
hood all Of whom were provided with
numerous donkeys, which We're hence
forth sent down TO the caches. and
the kegs and bales were removed I'M
der cover of the night or Of storm. As
an excuse for keeping droyes OF dom
keys il was pretended that the sea sand
and the kelp served as admirable
dressing for the land. and no doubt
so they did. The trains of asses some
times came up laden with sacks of
sand, but not infreqnently With kegs
OF brandy.
Now a wary preventive man might
watch too narrowly the proceedings of
these trains of asses Accordingly
squires, yeomen and farmers alike set
to work to cut deep ways in the face
of the downs, along the slopes of the
hills, and bank them up SO that the
whole caravans OF laden beasts might
travel up and down absolutely unseen
from the sea and greatly screened
from the land side. PROFESSIONALLY
the sunken ways and high banks are
a great protection against the wealth
er. So they were represented to be,
and no doubt greatly were the good
folks commended for their considera-
tion for the beasts and their drivers in
thus at great cost shutting them off
from the violence of the gale. Never
theless, it can hardly be doubted that
concealment from the eyes of the coast
guard was sought by this means quite
as much, If not more, than the shell
tering of the beasts of burden from the
weather.

OF the SO members of the Indiana
house who voted for the final passage
of the township reform bill yesterday
are Democrats In referring to the
vote the Indianapolis Sentinel says:
Let it not be forgotten that the
township reform bill in the house was
saved by Democratic votes.''
No one will feel disposed to with
hold due credit from the Democrats
who voted for the bill, but we must
insist that the As Republicans who
voted for it had something to do with
its passage. If the Sentinel had said

fairly.

It is an interesting fact that the
United States, which for many years
has ranked second to Great Britain
in the production of salt, produced in
1897 considerably more than the pro-
duction of Great Britain in 1896, ac-
cording to a recent report of the Unit
ed States Geographical Survey. The
British figures for 1897 are not yet
available. but it is quite possible that
the United States now occupies first
place as producing country. The
domestic output in 1897 was 1878, 2o2
barrels. New York led the country
with ar@#eostt put OF q. 700 ooS. whffe
rurcnfgan-s productIon was nearly A.
600 900 barrels. In the number of
evaporating plants Michigan ranks
first and New York second There
were only two salt-producing states in
which the salt product in 1897 was less
than in 1896. These exceptions were
Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the
amount of increase Michigan showed
the largest gain. with an increase of
$50 900 barrels. The price obtained in
Michigan last year averaged 31.4 cents
a barrel, this being an advance Of So
per cent. over the average in 1896.
