We do not hear very much these
days of the "inefficiency"o of the Ding
ley tariff law; In fact, III Democratic
contemporaries are keeping very
quiet about the matter, especially
through the wool season in Mon
tana. But 1t will never do to let a
good thing go by. In Fenno Bros. &
Childs'circular of July 90 we find the
following:
THE present strong and activecOn-
diti0n of the wool market, notwith-
standing its continued narrOwness,
seems very properly accounted forby
the American Cotton and Wool Re-
porter In the following words: we
think the real explanation of the cur
rent excitement in the wool markets
Of this country can be summed up In
a few words, to-wit, demand has at
last, after years of delay, begun to
catch mp with supply. In other
words, the wool manufacturing stu
alton has at last begun to be favor
ably affected by two factors. viz. the
growing prosperity o. the country
and the Dingley tariff law. The man.
ner I'm which the Dingley tariff law
has operated is clearly pointed out
by n British contemporary which
prints some exceedingly suggestive
figures regarding the business of
Bradford with this country. as fol-
lO vs: The average annual exports
from Bradford to. the United States
for the four years of the 1888 tariff
were of the value of 1920, $50 pounds
sterling; for the four years Of the Me-
Kinley tariff, 1,0S4, 066 pounds ster-
ling; for the three years Of the Will
son tariff they jumped to 2.794 l5l,
and for the two years Cf the Dingley
tariff they have only averaged 762,379
pounds sterling"
This means that u mills are en-
gagged in their legitimate business of
clothing the American public and are
supplying a larger share of the home
market than ever before.

UNCLE SANS BIG MORTARS.
They Are Among The Most Terrible
Implements of Modern
Warfare.

The type of heavy br~eech-loading
mortar relied upon by the army for in
ner-line harbor defenses is one of the
most terrible implements of war that
have been devised. The high-powered
rifle is mounted in the coast d~efenses
with an effective range of eight to ten
miles, and is calculated 10 open fire
upon a blockading feet the moment il
comes within reach. The mortar bat
terry is concealed well away from the
big guns, where it cannot be reached
except accidentally by the fire of the
enemy, nor is this battery intended to
be brought into play until the rifles in
the main Notifications have been COM
pletely or partially silenced by the
enemy. The mortars have a limited
range of about 4Hs miles, and their ire
mendous bursting charges are fired
high in the air, with the certainty of
plunging into any vessel occupying a
plotted position upon a chart which is
in the possession of the officers equipped
with range-fnders of delicate precision,
located at a considerable distance from
the concealed battery. This chart is
divided into minute squares, and as the
enemy's ships cross the intersections
Of imaginary lines the men handling
the mortars, although they cannot see
the vessels, aim, load and discharge
with the certainty born of long prac.
tice that every shot will tell.
The new mortars. of which 1000 are
provided for in the existing scheme Of
national coast defense, and of which
go have already been mounted in POI
sitions commanding the entrances of
the principal harbors on the Atlantic
coast, fire a l2-inch shell weighing LOCO
pounds. This, following a high %trajec.
tory, is intended to fall upon the un-
armored decks of vessels, and, by e1-
plodingr demolish the machinery, de-
stroy the crew, and perhaps sink the
vessel. These weapons each weigh
about 10 tons, are II feet Q inches long,
and their 12-inch rifled bore is 10 feet in
length. Their greatest diameter at
the breech is 3 feet . inches, This
great mass of metal is so nicely bal.
anced that it can be loaded, aimed and
fired by two men. The loading is per.
formed by simple mechanisms, and
with a trained gun company of six men,
one accurate shot can be fired every
two minutes.-N. Y. Tribune.

ADMITS THEIR FAlSITY.

The New York Evening Post, which
has been the leader i'm publishing the
meanest and dirtiest set of lies con-
corning affairs in the Philippines
which space writer's could imagine,
has been compelled to retract and
lamely apologies for some of it's
statements, especially concerning the
cruelty Of American soldiers toward
F%ilipinos, wounded or prisoners.
notwithstanding the positive denials
Of Prof. Schurmann, tOl. DENLY and
Prof. Worcester. Of the peace com
mission, and also of Gen. Otis, the
Post persisted IN its contemplate
course and such papers as the Inde-
pendent of Helena and the Great
Falls Tribune jubilantly repeated the
base ISLANDERS. Finally, however, the
Post called upon it's representatives.
the islands to investigate the matter,
doubtless expecting to be sustained.
but the correspondent in reply says,
in part:
"My experience IL that the most
unreliable news published in the
United States, the most romantic
and imaginative, is that contained

for publication. They contain all the
camp gossip and baseless runors
that circulate throughout the army,
all the hops and pipes that consti-
tute the daily topic of conversation,
none of which are true In the form In
which they circulate, and few of
which have any genuine foundation
whatever. Even when these letters
deal with the personal experiences of
the writer's they are unreliable to a
degree surprising to one who has not
been In a position to observe as l
have. ! have read many of them,
and | am willing to lay it down az a
general rule that any private letter
telling OF the exploits of the writer in
either greatly exaggerated or wholly
untrue. / have investigated n num-
Der Of them and found them to be ab-
solutely false, one writer cheerfully
admitting the fact that he was Just
'stutfing them a little; another that
he did not propose to let the other
boys get ahead of him In writing
about their adventures, and Others
saying they did not expect their let
tiers to he printed or ttey would not
have written such nonsense"
And the Post says:
IF we placed too much faith i'm the
~veracity and Importance of some of
the letters at the time of their publ
cation, and thereby did injustice to
the humanity and character of our
soldiers, we regret 1t sincerely, for we
should much prefer to believe that an
occasional American soldier il a liar
than to believe that the American
army is composed Of barbarians."

OCEAN VOYAGE ON DRY LAND.
Built Tor the Paris EXPOSE
tiOn Of 1900.

One of the interesting sights of the
coming Paris exposition is the mareor-
ANA, the invention OF NJ. Hugo d'Alese.
The idea is to give the seeker after o
city the opportunity to take a real
steamer trip without loss of time or
strength. 1t is, in reality, an offshoot
from the cyclorama, which had such
a run of popularity a few years since.
In the mareorama one embarks on
board a real steamer-steaTer chairs,
~state-rooms, dining-room, bridge and
4 surrounding eNpanse of green sea
water, all lend their aid TO the belief
that, the voyager is really saying good
by to terra firma for a long sea trip.
One saunters about the deck, looking
and talking, arranging the details OF
his comfort. Suddenly the big boat
begins-~&ne--or seems to-which is
the same thing, so psychologists say.
BY an ingenious arrangement of ma
chinery the various movements of a big
steamer putting out to sea are exactly,
inflated. One can even be seasick il
desired. The plunge, the shake, the
recovery, the up and down, fore and aft
motions are all given with startling
likeness. BY and by the scenery be-
gins to change. the city of departure
is left behind and a new ore appears.
Sometimes the boat appears to stop,
and then all the hustle Of landing, the
crowds of sight-seers, the interesting
going and coming Of belated travellers
and departing ones are initiated.
In the areorama which is TO be put
on exhibition the boat is supposed to
start from Marseilles, and in turn Al
giers, Naples, Venice and Constanti-
nople are to visited Besides the nov
city of the sensations. the would-be
traveller will have an opportunity to OBJ
tain an accurate view of the cities
named and the country of their loca-
tion.-Chicago Times-Herald.
