The Color Of Precious stones.

In the majority of cases it is not
an easy matter to explain the origin
of the beautiful colors in precious
stones. The coloring matter they
contain may belong to some organic
or inorganic compound, but 1t is
generally so small that it is insufficient
for a chemical analysis. In the mineral
zircon which, especially under the
name of hyacintb, is used as q pre-
cious stone, the yellow, green, red OF
brown color is due the presence OF
nitrogen. In some materials, i. e.,
certain varieties of the garnet, the
red aud violet spinelie, the ruby, the
sapphire, the Oriental amethyst, the
green zifcon and the topazof Yiilarica,
in Brazil. the color is the eiIe.t of the
chrome they cont.in. Thsre are,
however. q still greater Number 81

Cooper Company to sell about fifteen
millions of its stock to its custornnrs,
hold two millions in trust for em-
ployes, and thus inaugurate an i'm
mense cooperative business with a
capital OF twenty-four millions.
The plan has failed, and the Com
pany announces that the subscriptions
made by the public to the new issues
of stock will be returned at once, bit
than the idea of profit-sharing with
employees has not been abandoned, and
that, upon the contrary. it will be car
ried cut in another form.
The Siegel-Cooper Company plan
was imported from Europe. where it
is in existence in many immense es-
adjustments. 1t appears, however,
that the American public is not quite
ready to take it up, although it nay
a few years hence. 1t presents many
aspects for favorable consideration up
on investigation. Perhaps the main
trouble in this instance was that it
was attempted without properly pre-
pairing the minds Of the investors.

sALISBURY'S SPEECH.
Salisbury's Speech.

Pittsburg Times.
The speech of Lord Salisbury at the an
nual meeting of the Primrose League yes
terday was a remarkable utterance in
two respects. First, it threw down the
gauntlet to the extreme Irish party by the
declaration that there was no hope that
Ireland would be given practical indie
pendence because the South African war
had shown how a disloyal government
could accumulate ornaments and thus Sc
cure a terrible advantage The announce
ment that practical independence would
not be given TO Ireland was neither new
nor surprising, but the fact that Lord
Salisbury should have felt impelled to
make it at this time seems to be rather
mysterious.

REPUBLICAN TOMMY-ROT.

This being the Presidential CAM
paign year, Republican conventions
are passing antitrust resolutions. A
sample. fairly indicative of the whole
lot, is the resolution adopted by the
Nebraska convention, which reads:
The Republican party. now as always.
is unalterably opposed to all trusts and
combinations having for their purpose the
sitting Of competition and arbitrarily
controlling production or fixing prices.
1t will be noted that the now as
always" clause utterly fails to explain
how or why the trust has reached its
perfection under the existing admin
istration nor does the resolution con-
vey hint of why the Republican party
maintains a protective tariff for the
benefit of these trusts, which sell their
products at a high price at home and
at d much lower price abroad. The
people are taking notes of little things
like these.

A Remarkable Speech.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
What does Salisbury mean? 1t is not
easy to say. His diplomacy has been
clumsy at times, his judgment often bad
His policy has been weakness in the face
of great powers and tyranny toward small
or subject States. His latest speech is q
brutal challenge to Ireland-a formal no.
tice that if 1t ever expects a liberal meas
ure of autonomy it will have to fight for
it. But Ireland is not foolish enough to
accept the challenge. 1t knows the Sails
bury ministry cannot last forever. and
that it does not represent popular English
sentiment concerning Ireland

JOKE ON THE UPPER HOUSE.

Somebody appears to have set out to
have a little fun with that dignified
body, the Senate of the United States,
and to have succeeded beyond all rea-
sonable expectations. For two days
the Senators sat behind closed doors,
celebrating in secret over the terrors
of the alleged new invention, the dead
ly "soft-nosed" shell, capable of bor-
ing holes through the best armor as a
rife ball would penetrate cheese, and
for forty-eight hours it was more than
limited that the armor plate manufac-
turers would have to come off their
high horse.
Now it turns out that the "secret"
has been no secret at all for five years
past, and that "soft-nosed" shells were
actually used by our navy in the Span
ish war. 1t looks very much as though
the Senate was not up to date In this
little matter.

A NEW CANDIDATE.

The advent of Judge John II. Holt
into the contest for the Democratic
candidate for Governor complexities
the situation somewhat, and yet his
appearance, belated as it is, will re-
joice his many personal and political
friends throughout the State. Judge
Holt appears to have withheld his
announcement until almost the elev-
enth hour. Yet he is better late than
never, and he is assured in advance of
a large and faithful following. This
cropping up of candidates is a good
sign. 1t shows the thorough awak-
ening of the Democracy throughout
the State, and the firm intention TO
sweep things this year. The party is
getting into its fighting clothes in good
time, and will give a good account of
itself in the coming contest.
Judge Holt is one of the ablest law
yars in the State, and his ability is
recognized and appreciated throughout
the State. His popularity Is deserved
ly great, and should he receive the
nomination he would make a strong
leader for the ticket and q splendid
Governor.

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT.

The outlook for relief for Ohio coun-
ty realty owners at the hands OF the
State Board is not bright enough to
read fine print by. And this is not
wholly the fault Of the Board; 1t is
rather the unsatisfactory provisions
of the statute. That we of this county
are entitled to very considerable reduc-
tons appears to be conceded, but
whether it is possible to give us that
equalization which justice and fairness
deserves, is another and different
growing belief that we must look
elsewhere than to the State Board TO:
eQuity-and this is no rel ,ction upon
that body-lies in the apparent apathy
of our interested citizens. Not half
a dozen taxpayers took the trouble to
attend the sessions held here, and
there was nothing i'll the shape of a
popular protest, such as might have
been expected. Those aggrieved appear

manded much more than that But
the local session is over, and the

In the end it is probable that prop
erty owners will have to rely upon
individual petitions to the County
Board, if anything like the proper de-
gree Of relief Is to be obtained.
