AbCoORDING to the. Scientific American a western genius has invented a machine for making gas for illuminating purposes out of wood instead of coal. The machinery is very simple, consisting merely of a retort and purifying chamber, with a tank for holding the gas. He claims that the machine can be used for domestic purposes, and that by attaching it to.an ordinary cooking stove -enough gas to last a day can be made by the fire necessary to do the cooking. : .
THE Chicago main drainage canal, concerning which there has been some difference of opinion among engineers, is in some respects a more serious undertaking than the Manchester ship canal. *.lf it is completed as conceived it will one day give Chicago a commercial outlet to the Gulf of Mexico open ten months in the year, and having from fourteen to twenty feet of water. It is estimated that one effect of the canal will be to raise the level of the Mississippi one foot at St. Louis. e —— TuE first ambition of every China. man is to have a splendid coffin- A poor man will starve himself for years to have one. It is always received with great ceremony on its arrival at the Jouse, and is regarded as the most valuable piece of furniture in the establishment. It is kept in the place of honor. No -one is ever buried until there is ready money enough in the house to do so without the family running in debt. There are many strange customs .connected with the funeral rites. One of these is the burning at the tomb of paper horses, idols, umbrellas and clothes. }K i R RR R S TR ST EFroßrTs are ‘making “in - France to substitute the birthday of Joan of Arc as the national fete day in place of July 14, the anniversary of the taking of the Biastile. The Bastile episode anniversary no longer excites the same enthusiasm it did formerly. And then it is being pointed out that the honor of having demolished the Bastile belongs to Germans and not to Frenchmen. History is quoted to the effect that the siege and capture of the famous prison “‘was more especially the work of foreigners,” and thus France has been annually celebrating the shedding of French blood by Germans.

We believe its |policies, past and present, best calculated to promote the happinessand prosJperity of the peopie STI P e
~ The administratdion of President Harrison and the congressioral legislation of that party were wise, pure . ard patriotic. and we point to the marked contrast between the home and foreign polides of that administration and the /present travesty -on government inflicted - on. the whole people. We believe in | the republican doctrine of protection ‘and rkciprocity, which furnishes a home market|fcr the productions of our factories and our jzu-ms and protects the American laborer agairnst the competition of the pauver labor of Europe. : : We denounce the .unwise and unpatriotic action of .the demccratic party in attempting to eliminate 1;16 reciprocity principle fromfol_xr tariff system, thereby closing a large foreign market to roducts of American farmers and - depressi agricultural = interests. We denounce the| present attempt of a democratic - congress to overthrow apnd destroy the Amenican industrial System, a course that, ‘with the general fear ‘of a . violent readjustnfent of the country’'s business to a free tmdc’ basis, has increased the. national deut, and hes plunged the country into the most disastrous business depression of its history; has| closed large numbers of banks and factories throughout the country, has thrown an unprecedented number of American citizens out of employment, has compelled thousands of able-bodied and industrious men to humiliate themselves by asking for charity, ana\pas filled our broad land with free soup houses and food-markets. ; - We velieve in currency ‘composed of gald, silver and paper, readily convertible at a taxed standard of value and entirely under national control;-and we favor the imposition of increased tariff quties upon the imports frowi all countries which oppose the coinage of silver upon a basis to be determined by an international congress for such purpose. We denounce the avowed purpose of the democratic party to restore the era of ‘‘wild-cat’’ money.
We believe in a liberal.construction of our pension laws, and we condemn the unjust policy .of the present administration of depriving .ex-scldiers of their pensions without a hearing: any policy -intended to cast odium upon lovalty' and patriotism. We believe it to be Ihe duty of the state as well as the nation to make suitable provision for the care and maintenance of all indigent sokc}ie‘i‘s, their wives and widews. We, therefore, favor the establishment by the state of a suitable soldiers’ home for 'the reception of such soldiers, their wives .and. widows, as may be overtaken by adversity. We demand'a rigid enforcement of all existing immigration laws by the national government and demand such- further legislation as will protect our people and institutions against the infiux of the c¢riminal and vicious classes. ‘We denounce the unpatriotic action of the Cleveland administration’in hauling down the American flag at Hawaii, and condemn the arrogant assumption of power displayed in the effort to restore a tyrannical queen over a free people, who ‘had thrown off she y.okg of despotism. :
We condemn the outrageous bargain and sale of federal patronage by the Cieveland administration in its*#mblushing efforts to usurp the prerogative of the legislative branch of the government ‘to enforce a favorite measure torough congress and compel the confirmation of presidential appointments by the senuqe. We condemn the reckless and extravagant administration of ‘the financial affairs of this state, whereby the people are subjected to unjust and unnecessary burdens of taxation, by an ipcreassd assessment of property and increased rate of taxation, and by a multiplication of offices to be supported by ihe taxpayers of the state. . : ‘
’ We telieve tha't the benevolent, educational ; and correctional institutions of the utate should ! ‘be placed under non-partisan controi. We telieve in such legislation, state and na- ;. tional, as will protect the lives and lizabs of ew- § “ployes of railways, mines and factories. |- \‘.‘e_condemn the r‘;olicigs steadily pursued by i the democratic legislature of Indiana in so ; gerrymandering the state as to deny the peo- | ple a fair representation of their views in the i gte\t'e vvl\egisinture and_national congress, _'f.hus i imperiling the foundations of cur institutions. i p R S L e e MAMY LIVES LOST. ?Numerous Deaths in the Storm Ofl'flthe " . } ~ Irish Coast. , VDL'BL"ISIQ,' April 20.—Reports of the | ' damage done by the furious gale that [ ragegp over the southern part of Ire'%and Monday night continue to be re- | ceived. :The fishing fleet that was at ! work off ‘Skibbereen when the storm | burst suffered greatly. ‘The Manx and Irish boats were the worst sufferers..

. THE TARIFF BILL. : Merits of the Measure Discussed by the . : Senators. . : On the 21st Senator Dolph (rep., Ore.) took up the question of paper making and wood pulp making in the state of Oregon, and appealed to the senate not to destroy this indusiry of his state. i : ] . Senator Gray (dem., Del) asked .whether he wanted to levy tribute on the state of Delaware in order that Oregon might have a monopoly of the papér business? | “laid notsay I wanted a monopoly of any industry for my state,”” replied Mr. Dolph. He went on to say that Oregon used a great quantity of goods from ,Dela.wa‘ie, and he paid a high tribute to the industry of| that state. Senator Gray thanked him| for his complimentary words about Delaware. The present depressed condition of affairs in Delaware and cther states, he said, was due to the cultivation of thirty years of high protection. We were living under the highest protective laws the country had ever known There had no been a single industry of Delaware benefited by the McKinley bill, and he;predicted that upon the passage of the pexgdfng tm prospects all over the country would brighten. The senator from Delaware might preach that doctrine, said Mr. Dolph, but there were thousands of workingmen out of employment in his state who would convince him of the fallacy of that doctrine. |
Senator Gray closed the incident by declaring that they. were out of employment because the McKinley law was in farce, and Senator Dolph resumed his speech. G In considering the income tax question a difference of opinion was discdyered among the republicans. Mr. Dolph had| given his experienee in the collecting of the income tax in Oregon when it was in force, when not .more than one-tenth of the tax was collected.-
l Mr. Teller (rep., Col.) said t]imthis experience . had been very different from that of Mr. Dolph. . He did not think it was evad,«fi:l any more than the personal property tax. In Colorado, where ~an income' tax was in force, there was not as | much aifficulty in collecting it as there was in i collecting the personal property tax. He did - not think it was a good argument against a bill tosay that the people were too dishonest to . have the tax collected. In hls opinion it was ' the most just and equitable tax that could be collected. It might. be unprofitable, however. i “Mr. President,” he continued, earnestly, *I ’ want tosay to the senator from New Hamp- - ghire” (Mr. Chandler, who had just expressed the same views as Mr. Dolph) “and to the senator from .Oregon, and to any other senator who makes the claim that an income tax can« ; not be collected because the people are dis--honest that it is slanderous| to the American _people. lltisan assumption that the American " people for a mere pittauce will commit perjury. : [ e E ‘On the 23d Senator Washburn (rep., Minn.) discussed briefly the various tariff acts since 1846, The present bill, he declared, would be disastrous to the manufaeturing jnterests of the east. Speaking for his own state he said the people of Minnesota were only to a Hmited\ “extentdirect \\)eneficiaries of the protective sys- : tem, although they had learned that the well gpaid laborers of the east were better consumers _of their products than the pcorly paid laborers of Europe. : { . A
“But,”’ said Mr. Washburn, ‘“there is another provision in this bill which will affect the farmers of the northwest more disastrously than ‘even the reduction of duties to which I have referred, and that is the repeal of the reciprocity provisions in the law of 1890. There is probably nosection of the country where the effect of reciprocity treaties with foreign nations consnmmated by the wisdom and persistent efforts of Mr. Blaine under the late administration have been so marked and favorable as the states of the northwest. | ! ;
““‘You -can, therefore, Mr. President, well fmagine that. the people of Minnesota, as well as the other northwestern states, look with more alarm upon the repeal of .this reciprocity legislation than any other of its provisions. 1 am not only opposed to termination of the reciprocity arrangements already existing between the United States and other countries butl am in favor of applying the same principle in all our foreign trade.” | : Senator Dolph then followed with asecond installment of his speech. : . ‘ On the 24th Senator Mills (dem., Tex.) closed the' general debate on the tariff bill. At the outset he declared that legislators often had to ‘make an election between two parliamentary measures neither of which met their approval It must necessarily be so, foér no man could frame a measure to meet the approval of every ore. Every act of a legislature °must be a compromise measure, ard “'no act more so than one regulating taxes. ‘‘This bill does not meet my approval,” said he, “and I doubteif it entirely meets the ap‘proval of any gentleman on this side of the chamber. But, such gs/it is,| it will have my hearty'support.” He might want to offer some amendments to the bill, but whether or not he was able to secure their adoption he would bow to the will of his party and vote for the meas.ure as they ordained it should be. It was a strictly - party measure and had been a ‘party measure from the foundation of the .government. and from the foundation and organization @of the democratic party. It he had . been chosen to construct this bill and had had the forty-four members of the democratic side of the chamber in accord with his views he would have constructed it on far different lines.

Hé would do this in order that the manufacturers of the ,counqry might manufacture their goods at the lowest possible price g 0 that they could go into t!i’e markets of the world. The republican policy, he said, was 10’ provide a home market, but there was 5,000, 000,000 worth of goods made in this country .Whex“e were the people to come from to consume them? In order to carry out the republican policy people would have to be imported to consume our surplus agricultural products. It would require 114,000,000 people to consume these'products and would require the importation of Chinese, Japanese, Singalese, Maltese and chimpanzees to join Coxey’s army. ‘Emancipate our people,” he said. ‘‘Give them 2 chance to show their skill, their genius as a natural and heaven-born right Give them back the ocean and then the workingmen will not be coming to Washington to implore the government to do something for them.” ’
. Mr. Mills lauded the action of the committee in reporting a tax on incomes. Why should wealth not be taxed! The object of all just government is tosecure to all its subjects all the rights with which they were endowed by nature and protection in the enjoyment of those rights in which they were guaranteed by their government *I would like to know,” he said, ‘‘on what principle the owners of millions insist that they should not be taxed!"’ He said that the opponents of the income tax said it was inquisitorial, anarchistic, socialistic, to lay a tax of 2 per cent. on incomes, but when a poor fellow wants a shirt and is taxed 100 per cent. for it nothing is said about its being socialistic and anarchistic. He enunciated the principle that a tax should ‘be collected in proportion to the tax payer's ability to pay it, and that depended on the amount of protection he received. It was said that the income tax was unjust and iniquitous, and the senaor from New York (Mr. Hill), in his speech a few days ago, had called it by all kinds of vile names, yet when he was governor of the state of New York for six years he had never told ‘the legislature that the income tax which was on the statute books of the state was unjust and iniquitous. It was useless to denounce the income tax as iniquitous, unjust, etc. It was useless to make any sophistical remarks about the difficulty of collecting the tax, “he law was going to be passed, he declared, emphatically; if not by this congress, then by the next. : 5 :
“The people,’”’ concluded Mr. Mills, ‘‘want the bill passed now; they do not want to wait until they are starving to death: they do not want to wait until the whole country'is paralyzed, but. they want to do it now. Then the business prosperity of the country will revive. Then the condition of things will be changed: night will disappear, darkness and distress will leave the land, prosperity will come to our borders, light and sunshine will lighten up all our faces and the country will once more resume its career in prosperity.” 5 Courthouse Fight Settled.
