The Republican. SCKANTON. SEPTEMBER 11. 1890. THE NEW TARIFF AND TUE FAUMEU.

The MoKinley bill aims flrst of all to bettor the market for farm produeo by raising to an almost, if not quite prohibitive point, the du ties on articles of that class. Here Is the list of tho increased duties on farm products, and is worthy of note that In the Senate the rates fixed in the House bill on the produce of the farms have been modified in but few instances and then not materially, so that there can be no changes in conference.

The McKinley bill is expressly framed to prevent this and to protect the farmer. Is there any doubt where the interests of the farmer lay? The investigators of Commissioner Kaum found nothing to his discredit lu their examination of Mr. Lemon. Charges of favoritism were emphatically and unequivocally denied.

Witness never had asked anything from Commissioner Eaum. or any other commissioner to whloh he was not ontitlod as tin attorney. Mr. Eaum himself say3 ho has answered completely all tho charges of official misconduct, and declares that a conspiracy Is trying to break down his credit. OUK NEW MEN O' WAIt.

The Miantanomah one of the four double, iurret monitors whoso kneols were laid about sixteen years ago, will probably make her trial trip during September. Constructed at Chester, the monitor has bpon completed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Like tho Monad nock under way at Mare Island, the Amphi trite in course of construction at Norfolk, and the Terror nearlng complotion at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the monitor is 250 foot long by 55 feet beam, and feet moan draft, her displacement being 3,815 tons. She is built of Iron and is of the compound typsJl with steol face and on a wrought iron back. Hor maximum sido armor is only seyen inches thick the turrots, however, are bettor protected.

Tho Mianto nomah will be the flrst vessel of tho navy to carry 10 inch high power breech loading steel rifles, the most powerful guns yot manufactured in this country. She will earry four of them, of which three aro already completed. These guns Are a projoctlle weighing a quarter of a ton, the ohargo of powder being 250 pounds. The trials at the Annapolis proving grounds demonstrated their ability to send a shot through 23 Inches of wrought Iron at the muzzle nnd 17 inches at a distance of a mile. Tho seaworthy quali tlos of the now monitor will be testod in trips along the Atlantic Coast.

Hebk Is a great big hint to our sportsmen who go around shooting doves and robins. The Chicago Journal says "Prairie chickens aro becoming so plontiful and dangerous in many parts of this State that, nlthough the season does not open until the 15th Instant, numerous gentlemen have already had to kill them in self defense." The London Times registors its objections to the McKinley tariff bill In a paragraph whioh is a good recommendation of the measure to Americans. It Bays: "British industry will hays small reason to be thankful for the new tariff If it be passed. It will press with espoolal heaviness upon some localities, such as Sheffield. That is the intention of its authors.

The complaints of foreign victims will be estoomed as a tribute to its merits." Tho work which will be taken from Sheffield and other localities, under tho tariff law, will be done in the United States. 111 In the mnnccuvres of the German army smokeless powder lias boen found of mote advantage to tho defending than to the attaoklng force. The latter loss the veil that smoke uffords to their movements and the former do not need It, as tbelr position is known and to a groat extent fixed. The unfortuuate feature of the Intest charge against Boulanger, that he was ready to throw his lnfluenoo In favor of a monarchy, provided he should ba made a Marshal and given a Dukedom, with a money allowance, is that the accusation boars about It an air of probability. It is at least a rational explanation of his queer behavior.

The Cincinnati Commercial, having examined the field critically feels warranted in saying that Ohio will surely go Republican this fall. "The experiment of putting the Democrats in power, which the State tries now and then, has not resulted much differently from what it usually does, and that has never been satisfactory." The Republicans, it is admitted, will carry a smallor number of Congressional districts than they did In 1888, en account of tho Democratic gerrymandering, but not so small a number as the Democrats designed they should. "The pleasant est information the Commercial gives, however, Is the statement that the Republicans are fully aware that they will have fight for vlotorr, that they are on their mettle, and determined ft win. It Is good news for the party throughout the country to leara that dissensions hare disappeared in Ohio, and that the State will return to the Republican column." And when she returns now. she will return to stay tor several years at least, JOHN W.

FOSTER. It is now among the Drobabilities that ex Minister John W. Foster will be called upon to settle tho sugar question with Spain, for which purpose he will again represent the united atmes At Madrid. The comwrcial fy 7 L0 1 ttnuiy wuicu lie then ueutimeu inaKos jlim a persona grata at the Spanish Court. Mr.

Foster was born In Pike county, Indiana, March 2. 1836. After his graduation at the State University of Indiana in 1855, he attended the Law School at Harvard University. He bepan practice at Evausvidu, Indiana. In 1861 he was appointed Major of the Twen ty flrth Indiana Infantry Voluntoers.

At the end of the war his rank was that of Brigadier General by brevet. Upon his return to Evansville he edited the Daily Journal' of that city. Ho was chairman ol the Republican State Committee in 1872. His iirst appointment as minister was to Mexico in 1873. He was minister to Russia in 18S0.

His former appointment to Spain by President Arthur was made at the instance of Secretary Frelingbuysen with the view to improve our commercial and political relations with Spuiu. ROYAL FLUSHES. The Empress Frederick has collected $135,000 for the new Children's hospital at Berlin. It is now definitely settled that Frinco George is to open the Jamaica exhibition about Christmas time. Tho emperor of China has sent theGer man emperor a large box of playthings little dragons and things for his Ave lib tlo sons.

Princess Dolgorouki, the morganatic wife of the late czar, has published her memoirs in Russia, and every available copy was seized immediately by the police. Tie Princess Louise, who for the past ton years has presided over an art school in Sloane street, London, West, is the flrst English, woman to employ Irish needle women. Emperor William bas contributed 10,000 marks toward the fund which is being collected for the purchase of the famous SuliowsM collection of bric a brac and curiosities. Prince Blsmei, seen striding recently through the groves of Priedrichsruho park, was manifestly as sound In wind and limb the toughest of his foresters or the hardiest of his keepers. Tho Prince of 'Wnle Is a srreat stickler for court etlquetto.

Xo one knows better the exact way In which every band and order and medul should be worn. He is vory particular about good manners In primxM and princesses. Princess Wllhciiuina Montleart of Sax ony, who has a pretty eatle near Vienna, aud is the last of her fumlly, recently invited the mayor of an eastern suburb to dinner, and at dessert gave him 1,000 flor 11s to build a hospital for Hernals, the su burb of which ho is mayor. The littlo Princess Elizabeth of Austria, the daughter of the late crown prince, can't take outings with her mother, Prin cess Stephani, because, by the will of her father, she must always remain in the immediate neighborhood and under the eyo of her grandfather, the emperor. Prince Lobanoff, the Russian ambassa dor ot Vienna, is a man of rare intellect ual endowments.

The prince is a perfect type of the grand seigneur. He is a wealthy bachelor and has only had one "grande assion" in Ins life, namely, that for Mary ituart, Queen of Scots, of whose letters and relics he possesses a remarkable collection. Princess Victoria, tho Empress Freder ick's youngest and favorite daughter, is rather pretty, huving a nice figure, blue eyes and fair hair. She lias always been fond of an out of door life and enjoys exercise in uny form. She is an indefatigable walkor, an accomplished rider and lawn tennis player, and can drive four in hand in a masterly style.

Something About the Ontflt Carried la Its Cars and Always In Readiness. Accidents will happen occasionally on the best managed railroads, and sometimes bad wrecks happen, the cause of vftiich frequently is a mystery, and the tracks are blocked for hours. For every minute the track remains blocked money and time are lost, and passenger and freight traffic is interrupted. So the railroads are always prepared, and within thirty minutes after a wreck has happened a wrecking train Is on the way with a trained crew or men and if tme telegram announcing the wreck says that passengers or employes are in jured the wrecking train comes along with its Dhysicians. bandasres and'' cots.

A wrecking outfit is about the homeliest thing owned by a railroad company, but when they are needed they are needed badly. The wrecking cars are kept at tho end of a division, and aro directly under the con trol of the superintendent of that division, The wrecking train is composed of threo curs and a powerful locomotive, and all the cars are fitted with air brakes. The first car is what is known as the truck car. Tho body of the car is very low, and upon it are carried two extra pairs of trucks, rails, cross tics and spikes, for sometimes the track is torn up in a wreck. The second car is the wrecking car.

Its is built of the heaviest timbor, and is mounted on two pairs of small, heavy trucks, naif of tho car is covered over, and tho other half is a mere platform; but arising from the center is a powerful der rick with a 25 foot boom. With this pow erful contrivance trucks, cars and locomo tives are swung about. The covered por tion of the car resembles Inside a storeroom of a ship, as there are so many cables hang ing around. In one end of the car are two closets, one containing the food for the crew. The locker is always well filled, for there it.

no telling when the wrecking train may be called into service. The other closet or lockor contains medicines, bandages and a portable telegraph outfit, with several colls of wire. If tho wreck is a bad one tho in strument is brought into use. An operator is picked up at the first station along the road, and when the scene of the accident is reached the wfres are set and a telegraph office is established. Tho car carries rope of every size and kind up to three inches in diameter, hydraulic jacks for raising on gines and cars, levers, pulleys, and derrick tackle of all kinds.

On the Louisville and Nashvillo first division wrecking cars are carried 300 feet of Manila three inch rope for putting engines on the track, 300 feet of two inch full lino for pulling purposes, 275 feet one and three fourth inch ropo for tho derrick, two sixty foot sections of three inch switch rope for pulling on cars. 240 feet two and one balf Inch ropo for lio same purpose, and 230 feet of three inch rope for putting on trucks, and 500 feet for gny lines. The next car is the "block car," containing 6hort blocks of wood of every size for blocking up cars and locomotives. At every wreck cars are generally tum bled about in confusion, and the wrocking crew begin on theso. The shattered ones are pushed off the track, and those left in a little bettor condition are put on the track and drawn away.

After this is done there is one or more disabled engines. The heavy cables on the wrecking car aro at tached to tho disabled locomotive, and a live one at tho other end of the rope generally by hard work pulls the disabled locomotive back on the traok. When the track is clear the wrecking train picks up all the iron and trucks and comes back to town. Louisville Courier Journal. A Story of Chiuoso Gordon, There is a story told of Chinese Gordon, one of the most striking which centers in bis romantic personality.

While ho was in China there was some mutiny in the army over bad rations or stopped pay. It was Gordon's duty to stop that mutiny and this is how he did it. Ho had the men drawn up and down and stood a few paces in front of them. At his elbow wore half a dozen trusty follows with loaded rille3. "Now," he said, "you must have some leaders; let them stand out and I'll speak to them." There was a moment's pause.

"Come, fall out!" said Gordon again, In a cool, everyday voice, as if he was ordering dinner. The men looked at one another, and stirred in their places as his keen eye ran r.lona the ranks. Then two men stepped forward. Gordon quietly gave a signal to his half dozen men with loaded rifles, and the nest moment the two ringleaders were shot dead. So ended the mutiny.

"But I always think," Gordon used to say meditatively after telling the story, "I always think I murdered those men." Boston Transcript VIOLET.

A French Idea of American Weapons, An Albanian and a Brooklyn man who have returned from Europe brought back with them as a souvenir a couple of weapons which show what marvelous ideas of American ferocity aro current abroad. The instrument of destruction is a combination of knucklo and dirk.

It is made of electroplated metal after tho manner of tho ordinary brass knucklo, with tho addition of a stout four inch blade about half an inch in width, which closes upon the frame and when open is held in position by a spring. It is evidently designed to strike or stab with, and from the stout and peculinr construction of the blade soems especially intended for driving into the skull by a downward blow. For that purpose it is a peculiarly dangerous and brutal weapon. The two specimens which have been brought to this country were purchased in a shop in Vichy, Prance, where they were publicly exhibited for salo in a window, with a table setting forth that they were specimens of a now and distinctly American weapon of offonso.

Queen chain pendants assume the form of Beethoven lamps. In men's chains, platinum and gold, in terlaced In rope patterns, are favored. Among brooch designs a diamond shell, sprinkled with small pearls, is noticed. A heart shaped carbuncle, bordered with diamonds, is a neck pendant of an effective kind. Something entirely new is a pair of end buttons fashioned as strawberries in beat en gold.

Charming indeed are earrings devised as enamel leaves, bearing ruby coated bugs upon them. In bracelets a circle of graduated links, richly chtised and set with diamonds, is to be admired. Hairpins are making their appearance topped by bunches of morning glories with jeweled centers. A tennis racquet with precious stones set in forget me nots the network makes a fanciful brooch. A slender gold band set with a circle of diamonds centered by a colored stone is a ring much affected.

Scarf rings are being revived, a popular design being a stirrup leather in oxidized silver, curled around. Other scarf rings worn are of filigree silver in designs suggestive of network, with here and there a garnet. Some handsome brooches are made of miniatures, hand painted on ivory, with beaded edges of pearls and diamonds alter natlng. For cricket lovers there is a miniature wicket composed of three upright gold bars surmounted by a row of rabies to do duty as a scarf pin. Jewelers' Kcviow.

Evening Up Time. The extra day given to tho month of February every four years, except the centennial years of time, and to these if they are divisible by 400, dates back to the time of Julius who first noticed that twelve lunar mouths were not quiteenougb. to constitute a solar year, while thirteen wore too many. Julius also noted the fact that Sti5 days were not enough for the year and that 868 exceeded what the calendar called for. Caaar corrected this error by constituting every fourth year to consist of 806 days and the others of 865 each.

The long or leap year was always known to be an exact multiple of four. This calendar was culled tho Julian and the mode of reckoning "old stylo." This was quite an improvement on the old year, us it got within eleven minutes of the real period. When Gregory became pope in tho Sixteenth century it was found that tho simple error of eleven minutes each year had put time ahead ten whole days and nights in the comparatively short period of six teen centuries. In order to get rid of this error Gregory had ten days taken out of October, reckoning the 5th as the 15th. Still yet there was that eleven minutes overplus.

To get rid of this it was agreed that there should be no Feb. 29 in centennial years unless the year is divisi ble by 400. According to this plan every thing is so evonly poised that there will not be an error of ouo whole day until the tiino when you begin to date your letters 5448. St. Louis Republic Six Lucky Travelers.

The six poor travelers whom Dickens made famous years ago still partake of the hospitality of Richard Watts. I happened to be passing tho queer littlo gray build ing in Rochester's main street, and was allowed by tho courteous housekeeper to take a hasty look around. The inspection was necessarily hasty, as the six poor trav elers had just oome in and were engaged upon tho hearty meal which Watts' will provides for them. a uound of bread. half a pound of meat and half a pint of stout.

I was shown the wash house, in which certain preliminaries to the banquet are transacted, and tho delightfully clean little white washed chambers in which the weary travelers rest their limbs. These are up in a little gallery and are about 300 years old. Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. Queer Facts About Goldfish.

Goldfish that swim in globes of water In our parlors are very sensible to changes in the weather, and an observant person may learn to rely on them to foretell the coming tf a storm. At such tjmes the fish are restless. They dart about from place to place, and never remain long in one spot, as in ndld, pleasant weather. They may be taught, when kept in a large tank, to approach their attendant by ringing a bell. Another of their peculiorltics is that they may bo frozen in a lump of ice in December and be thawed out alive in April.

Although goldfish are now reared and kept as pets all over this country, they were firt brought here from China only thirty years ago. New York Sun. Some mistake.
