THE REMEDY.


The speaker said that in the first place
the idea of the laboring classes at the
present time was probably exaggerated
But yet hardly day passed that he did
not have some poor man or woman stand
ing before him pleading for work not
begging, but only seeking for an opportu-
nifty to earn some bread. He thought that
Government peculiarly unfortunate that
could not provide labor and pay for it. 1t
was


THE DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT
to make the most sweeping laws until
every man and every woman was provl-
ded with work, and he said were he Caius
Gracious, and this Rome, he would reform
the laws even up to the point, if it were
necessary, of making every rich man dl-
vide, and divide his property again and
again, until labor sufficient for rall had been
provided.


SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.


He said the rich and the well off must
help the poor. 1t was easy for men rising
from Widespread tables TO preach patience
to starving wives and children but it was
not so easy to submit patiently to see the
bread which the little ones ought to have,
carried off by horde of barbarians. The
speaker referred to the absurdity of tell
ing penniless men to go into the country
and farm; to the One-sided operation of
the treaty with China, which country
held out no inducements for us to go there
while ours held out every inducement for
the Chinese to come here.

The most interesting discussion in the Sem
ate yesterday turned on the proposition to con-
tinue the collection of the tax on salaries,
dividends and interest paid by corporations
as provided by the Income Tax law. The
proposition was passed. In the House
the tariff was discussed nearly all day,
and the tax on cigars, after Auctua.ing
between two dollars and a half per pound, or
twenty-five per cent ad voSoren, and fifty per
cent ad ualOrem, was finally left as 1t is at
present. Among the propositions that, it Is
stated, will soon be laid before Congress is one
by General Butler to open reciprocity treaty
with Prince Edward Island. and another by
Judge Lawrence to negotiate similar
treaty with the whole New Dominion. In
regard to Mr.. Buffers proposition, which
In itself is not very unobjectionable, as Prince
Edward Island is mainly devoted to agrieu-
ture, the English government, If we mistake
not, has once before vetoed the arrangement,
informing the Prince Edward Island authors
ties that they could not enter into treaty nego-
tiations in their colonial capacity. As to the
other arrangement, looking to renewal of
reciprocity with Canada, the steady tendency
Of that country toward annexation Is largely
due to the abolishment of reciprocity, and
we hardly think it is our bounden duty to 60
out of the way to retard her in so commenda-
BILE contamination.

interest our people take in naval matters and
the necessity Of preventing the deterioration
of our navy by those who cannot BIO made to
understand it's value, we have taken the
trouble to post ourselves In every matter con-
nected with The service. The estimates OF the
Navy Department are before us, and also the
reduction proposed by some Of the mombers Of
the Committee on Appropriations, and 1t is
evident to the most iil-informcd person that IL
the Naval committees Of the House and Senate
do not rise in their might and protect the
interests of our navy, by granting the neces-
sary appropriations, we shall find ourselves
reduced to the condition Of tenth rate naval
Power. The navy should keep pace with the
advance Of the country and increase OF Its
commerce. The recommendations of the Sec
retary should be entitled to respectful con-
sderation, for his annual report has convinced
every one who has read it attentvely that
the only fault he committed was in not recon-
mending larger increase.

dreds Of vessels, equal to ships-of-war, can be
converted into means Of annoyance at weeks

Of q foreign foe, and in case Of war we should
have to look on and not only soc our mercan-
tile marine entirely obliterated-while that of
our enemy was harmlessly pursuing its voca-
tions-but should have to submit to the humili-
alton of seeing our coast blockaded from Maine
to Texas without chance of preventing 1t.
We could no doubt in time put forth our
resources and drive our enemies from our
shores, but that would be when our COM
merce was destroyed and all our small seaboard
towns laid in ashes. Let our people imagine
how they would feel If such humiliation
should overtake us from power we consider
so Insignificant as Spain, which at this moment
has double the force in Cuban waters that we
have in our entire navy. How absurd, then,
must il appear, in the face Of facts like these,
to see members of appropriation committees
cutting down estimates made by the Secretary
Of the Navy and the chiefs Of naval bureaus
estimates that have been carefully considered
and are based on the actual wants of the navy


1t will naturally be asked upon what princi-
pies members Of committees act when they
undertake TO so in direct opposition to the
estimates Of the experts who have spent a
lifetime at the business and know all the wants
of the service. What can man know of the
requirements Of the navy who, without con-

powder asked for, when powder is short, and
grants the appropriation for guns, or gives the
appropriation for steam and outs off that for
construction and equipment?

FORMATION OF DEw.--When children 60
abroad in clear morning, they often find all
the grass covered with drops of water, and
sometimes the water even drops from the
trees, though the ground is dry, and there
has evidently been no rain in the night.
They soon learn to call these drops by the
name of dew; but whence and how comes
dew on the ground is puzzle. Well there
is always more or less moisture in the air.
If there is o cubic inch of water in O cubic
yard of air then the air is said to be thorough
ly impregnated or filled with water. In such
o case the smallest amount of cold or alb
scence of heat in anything will cause little
drops of dew to settle on the surface. BY a
cubic inch or yard is meant square space
measuring one inch or yard on every side.
If you take block cne inch long, one inch
thick, aad one inch high, it will be cubic
inch. Then if you take box of the same
form and size, and fill it with water extracted
from vessel filled with air, and Of the same
form as the box, but measuring yards instead
of inches, you would say that there mas been
q cubic inch of water in cubic yard of air.
Almost any substance will have more or less
dew on it when the air is in such state be-
cause few substances are warm enough to
prevent it. Then just in proportion as there
is less water in the air must a body or sub
stance be cooled to produce dew. The blades
of grass and the leaves of trees being so thin
are quickly cooled by the cir when the sun
goes down. They radiate or throw out the
warmth that is in them, and soon become
cooler than the air and theu the water that is
in the air begins at once to settle on them,
and in the course Of clear night will collect
there enough to form the "dewdrops."
There is never any dew on the. bare ground,
because it never gets cooler than the air, SO
as to cause the moisture to settle on it; nor
of cloudy night, because the clouds radiate
heat to the ground, which prevents the leaves
and grass from cooling, as cloudy night is
always warmer than o clear one would have
been from the same cause. The dew does
not fall on the leaves like rain, but collects
from oil directions, aud it is not seen on the
underside, because that side is so porous as
to absorb or drink it up, as sponge dee,
water. Latte Gledaer.
