a COOP THING ToR THE CITY.

The purchase OF the plant or the w OoG
Harvester company by the American
Twine company is an event of great COM
mercial importance to st. Paul. 1t repre-
sents the ultimate realization of the hopes
and expectations which centered around
the original concern when some years
ago it adopted St. Paul as the most avail
able of the numerous locations which
were at its disposal The reorganized
system will embody one of the most ex-
tensive industries of that character which
is to be found in the entire country
Since its inception the American Irvine
company has had an extraordinarily sue
cessfuI career. Through its ability to
utilize certain qualities of grasses which
grow in abundance throughout the North
west the twine company has secured con-
troll of a practically limitiess market for
its products. One Of the departments Of
it's industry is the manufacture of bind
ing twine; and in the extension of its in,
dustry and in meeting the requirements
of the business it finds It advisable to
engage in the manufacture of its own
agricultural machinery specially adapted
to the use of the class of twine which It
manufactures.
The financial resources of the new en-
terprise are adequate to the operation Of
the Wood Harvester works to the full
limit Of their capacity. The industrial sig
nificance of the purchase cannot be over
estimated. 1t means even more to the
city than did the original location of the
Wood Harvester undertaking at Hazel
Park. It is determined on at time
when, as is generally recognized. the city
has reached the rebound from the con-
dition of dullness in commercial under
Of 1893 The growth of the enterprise
even from the splendid proportions which
it assumes at the outset is assured; and
it is safe to assume. from all the knowi-
edge which is at present available, both
as to the extent of its present business
and the prospects which opened up before
the Wood Harvester works. to which it
succeeds, when unfortunate conditions Of
public finance compelled the suspension
of that enterprise, that that growth win
be considerable.
The eminently satisfactory close which
has been brought to, the affairs of the
Wood Harvester concern is another SUBJ
ject of congratulation. Through wise and
able administration enough has been re-
allied from the assets of that concern to
pay off large proportion of its indebted
ness. After the sale to the American
Twine company enough will be left to
pay up the balance of such indebtedness,
and still leave a considerable SUM for dis
tribution among the stockholders 1t will
thus be seen under what admirable.

Milking "a smooth Sea.
New York Tribune.

NEW IDTk ITlDune-
Baron BreDyenutO dAieesandro. an
Italian living in Paris has devised a new
plan for rendering a rough sea smooth IN
the vicinity Of ships. lighthouses and
harbor entrances. He employs a netting
stretched on the surface Of the water and
kept afioat by buOys. 1t is also held
in place by anchors. The netting Is made
waterproof In order to preserve It.
An experiment was made a few months
ago of HaYre, where a jetty Is now In
process OF construction, for the protec-
tion of the harbor from heavy westerly
storms. At the time of the last trial
the weather was so severe that the net
could not be approached closely enough
for careful observation. Previous expert
ments. however. satisfy the inventor that
his device Will be more effectual than oil
In rendering rough sea smooth
He says that ship can be protected
by his netting If outriggers are used
to hold 1t in place. bat he reports no
actual tests Of this kind

Windham Solid for Dillingham;.

Dillingham; papers are pointing to
the vote in the Windham county Re-
publican convention, SO to u, last
week as evidence of the sentiment of
the people on the senatorial question
and proof that Grout will be dissp-
pointed in his calculations to win by
aid of representatives of the small
towns. But this is a case where our
Dillingham; friends claim too little.
AS matter of fact there was not q
vote for Grout in the convention that
was known to voice the feeling of the
people represented, and practically all
that he got were known not to. The
vote was standing one, and the
Grout delegates were few from Bel
lows Falls, substitutes for delegates
that had been elected on tickets por-
ton of which at best were headed,
"For Senator, VIM. p. Dillingham;"
from Westminster and Vernon where
caucus expressions had been taken af-
ter the delegates were elected and were
overwhelmingly for Dillingham;, and
Stratton where there was only one man
present at the caucus. Whatever Cen
eral CIRCUITS deserts may be the fact is
that there is very little support for him
in this county, and if the issue was
made, it is probably safe to say that the
county vote would be solid, in both
House and Senate, against him.-Brat-

Mason 5. Stone.

The American Institute of Instruc.
ton, OF which Hon. Mason s. Stone,
Vermont superintendent of education,
is president, is holding its annual meet
ing in Halifax, N. S. Writing of the
opening meeting in that city, Halifax
paper pays Mr.. Stone this high compli-
ment:
ITO pass over the welcoming words
of our local speakers, his grace the arch
bishop, the Encouragement, the mayor,
and the United States consul-general,
the observations that flowed from our
visitors who were chosen to respond
were indeed fine. The president, Hon.
Mason S. Stone, in the first address, as
serted and demonstrated a broad-mind-
edness, an elevation of idea and intent,
an earnestness of which the Institute
was An embodiment, that impressed
every nearer with the idea that the sub
ject was one that was worthy Of the
highest Thought that the mind could
possibly bring 30 bear upon it, 1t is
evidently no trouble to speak when you
are enamored with your subject, no
matter whether it be love or science
and Mr.. Stones subject was education
as it fitted for the duties of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, and not a
word that fell from his lips but was inn
pressive along that line"

table,:

The amount of wages paid increased
steadily under the Mckinley tariff from
1890 to 1892 Then there was a drop
in 1893 and another drop in 1894 under
the operation of the Wilson. German
monstrosity. During the next two
years, under the influence of sweeping
Republican majorities in State and con-
gressional elections, wages picked up,
but it was not until 1897, under the
Dingley tariff, that these same manu-
facturers were paying out as much
money in wages as they had paid in
1892.
Between 1894 and 1899, the two hun
dred manufacturers had increased their
pay rolls by upwards of S38,000,000. In
fact, the amount of wages which they
distributed last year was almost double
what they paid out in 1894. Apply
this to the whole country and one can re-
alize what benefit "opening the mills"
has been to American wage-earners
and to those who feed and clothe
them.
The paramount issue" in the pend
ing convass pertains to the continuance
of these prosperous conditions, by ad.
herring to Republican policies, both

les in finance can have no influence

times from 1893 to 1S96-except to set
their faces like flint against the plat
form and candidates whose triumph in
the November election would restore

the reasonable permanency of tenure
of the office that death or disability
alone can interrupt. The great ques-
lions before Congress forbid frequent
or unnecessary change in the men,
bership Of its deliberative branch. 1t
is wiser, also, that the man whose quail
i6cations shall justify his election 10
the high Office shall be the one who is
in the prime OF physical and mental
manhood.
These considerations all point con-
clusively to the wisdom and propriety
of settling this senatorial contest now,
aud for the next twenty years. The
man to whom these considerations
have been pointing, with conclusive
ness that has now been sustained in
the primaries by the verdict of the only
representative body in Vermont's po'
litical system, the county, is William p
Dillingham;. OF the thirty Senators
the only members of the Legislature
chosen on the basis of population, Mr.
Dillingham; is assured the votes Of nine
teen, or nearly two-thirds. In an over
whelming majority it has been made
clear that the people are in favor o.
settling this long-pending senatorial
question now, by the election of Mr.
Dillingham; to succeed Mr.. Morrill, il
1900, and to succeed himself in 1908.

As to Wisdom and Virtue.

The Free Press says Senator Ross il
not quite accurate when he says that
"the State legislators are assumed by
the State Constitution to be men most
noted for wisdom and virtue.' The
contemporary affirms that this consti-
tutional requirement pertains to mem.
bers Of the House of Representatives
that "there is no such requirement for
the Senate" The contemporary is not
engaged in exceedingly weighty bust
ness in making this bubble.
The Constitution, Sec. 2, originally
vested "the supreme legislative power
in House of Representatives" That
was the Legislature, its members were
the Legislators" Sec. s required that
the members of this House of Repre-
sentatives-the egislators-"shall con-
sist Of persons most noted for wisdom
and virtue" When in later years the
Senate was created the requirement re-
specting the character Of the Legislators
was not changed. 1t still stood in all
its original force and impressiveness.
1t would be interesting to know by
what method of constitutional construc-
ton the Free Press gets the Senators
out from under that original require
ment.
