Thb fie. wool bill passed the house yesterday by a vote of 11H to 60. THE republican carried the day in outh Omaha, (he stronghold of the bourbons, where the independ ents iind republican! elected their ticket. If China wan s to retaliate, let her do so. We don't want any more Ch nese immigrants, and we are going to use all legitimate means to keep them out. VEKI'INO U'ATKK is troubled with tramps and the Republican wants a stone pile to utilize the wasted ener gy of the twenty live bums that drop in there each day. The treasury's cash balance is growing. This is a highly encourag ing condition of things, but we no tice that the democraiic papers have forgotteu to mention it. THE democrats are sure to lose New York this fall, and where are they going to get the votes to make up this loss? They are sure to be beaten worse than they were in 1888. Til EKE is not one democrat in five that believes Cle eland can carry New York thi year, but they are bound to nominate him and are willing to take all risks, as the con dition of things forces them to. New Yokk has often knocked out the west in democratic national con ventions, and it will do the same this year. It is only in the republi can national convention that the 'good western man" has a chance. The St Louis Republic thinks the democracy will come west this year for a presidential candidate and that it will light on Governor Boies of Iowa. If it should do so politics will be lively in Iowa this fall, and don't you forget it. The inventer of the age, Mr. Edi son, has invented a machine that will project a torpedo two miles un der water and keep it there ready to be exploded at the pleasure of the man in the ship from where it was started. Vice President Morton says he will accept a renomination, and the party cannot do any better than to give it to him. He has made an efficient officer, and he is strong in the state that will probably decide the election. THE farmers evidently have : little surplus money to i.ivest, as number of them have already c traded for new homes to be 1 n this summer. It ia a pretty g..d sign that the the country is pros pering when the farmers provide better homes for themselves. Chicago wants more war vessels on the lakes; she is afraid that if war should ever be declared between the United States and England that the great city of the west would be shelled. She need not fear for be fore that ever happens, Edison, America's greatest in ventor, or some other inventive genious will have invented a machine or contrivance that will lay the modern implements of warfare along side of the old flint arrow. IX all the history of this nation there has never been a law enacted by congress and signed by a presi dent so beneficial to the American farmer as is the McKinley tariff law. Its good effects has been felt in the homes of every farmer in the nation, its influence has reached along every channel of agriculture. It has touched the dozen of eggs and the pound of butter; the potato has beon stimulaled to a larger growth and the old hens after a useful life can be sold for the table at advanced prices and more it has reduced in price all articles consumed on the farm. This law can be retained by retaining in power the republican power. Indianola, Iowa, Herald. What are the tin plate howlers going t3 do now? Twenty-two thousand pounds of block tin was shipped to New York, from the Te mescal mines In California the other day and put up on the market, and the result was that immediately the tin combine of England telegraphed orders to put down prices. The time is not far distant when the only rc maining article- of generul con sumption whose price has advanced since the passage of the McKinley bill will l)e withdrawn from the list This shipment Is only a beginning. The work etill on a small scute, only one smelter having bee as yet put in operation, but in a short time the output will have a very decided in ilueuce on the market. In a few months the Dakota tin mines will begin to make a showing at Nigger Hill and Harney's Peak. THE SILVER SITUATION. It is evident now that the Bland bill is dead for this session of con gress at any rate. The failure of 'Speaker Crisp to render the aid to ' the friends of the measure which they expected, and which, it is said, j he hml virtually promised, seals its ; fate for this year. The few demo i cruts of the Eastern states who are ! sincerely opposed to the passage of j the bi'l at any time and under any circumstances, in combination with the tricksters and (lodgers of the south and west who, for partisan reasons, desire to postpone the bill until after the election, have tri umphed. Their margin of victory it is true, is narrow, but it is suf ficient for their purpose. Mr. bland and the other honest but deluded friends of the measure intend to make another struggle to force it through the house, but it is easy to see that they are doomed to defeat. The effect which this setback for silver will have upon the canvass can not be foretold at the present time with any confidence. Doubt less a vigorous and persistent at tempt will be made in the west and south to secure an expression in the national convention in favor of free silver. Unquestionably also these sections, if they work harmoniously and with any approach to unanimity in this endeavor, will nccomplih their purpose. Yet it would not be altogether safe to predict that they will do this. The extremists have lost prestige by their reverse and cau scarcely regain their old influ ence and standing. For the time being anyhow they are losing ground. The eastern section of the party is showing a zeal, a cohesive iicbs and an affluence of resources which were not looked for, and promise to last throughout the can vass at least. Evidently the demo cratic leaders and managers are taking their orders from the east in stead of the west, as they always did in the past. It would be vain to deny that the republicans are disagreeably dis appointed by the prspect that the democrats may be able to dodge the silver question this year. The passage of the Bland bill in tne house would have put the four doubtful states of the north in the republican column without the shadow of a doubt, leaving to the democracy the old slave state region only. This woHd have hap pened even though the bill could not, by any accident or mischance, override the presidential veto which awaited it. However, success to the republicans has by no means been altogether dependent on the silver issue. This would have t- n. . C1 them a few e. a elec.oinl , but v'.c.'ory for them has i assured nil along without ii. i nrotec.'ion c.misc is si:'l wi.h i ... r.c ,-e cen be no dodg'ng by ti.i- dcnuj.alsoii the t.-'r'.ffquest'oii. Then th""e is the rec; oc:iy issue, which holds lori'i poss b 'lf 'is of many success ve triumphs for its chiwnpions. Under this s'gn they are sine to conquei. The repub lican pari is ina1e":ally and dis tinctively sponger at this moment than it was o.i the eve of the open ing of the nafonal campaign of 1SS8. Globe-D'Miiocrat. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACTS. Reviewing the trade of the United States in textile manufac ture during the first three months of this year, the Dry Goods Economist says, quoting the great firm of A. Van Bergen A Co. : Collections have been in better shape, and business all around has been better to do. Bankruptcici have been fewer than in 1NU1. The action of the tariff has increased the manufacture in America of low price worsted goods. As a proof, one of our mills is building a new factory at Camden, Maine, and another is increasing its production by extension of plant. Domestic dress goods have sold much better. This report is sadly out of keep ing with the democratic predictions of the inability of the American people to buy clothing because of "higher protection on account of the tariff." But let us continue to quote from the great organ of the American dry goods trade: Another agent, who represents a well known dress goods mill, re- forts trade s good as in 1W1. Credits are much better and bankruptcies fewer. Prices are lower than in 1891, with the pros pects that during the next six months they will be further re duced. "Prices lower than in 18VI , with prospects of further reduction during the next six months." And this in the pages of a trade journal whose editorial opinions ever have been unfriendly to the McKinle) bill! But let us continue to quote: Frederick W. Hayne, of Lawrence k Co., reports the condition of the cotton goods market ia excellent shape, an increase in the sale of goods Of better qualities and wear ing features. The volume of busi ness has been larger than during the corresponding quarter, of last year. I Credits are in a much im proved condition. The change in the financial condition of ttf-d.iv, as compared with a year ago, is a most noticeatue feature, and tin prosperity in the west has added largely to the increased business. Everybody remembers that the democratic and free trade press - said th it the McKinley bill was trained to fatten the east upon the tl-sh of the west. But after eightcc'i months' operation of the bill it appears that it is "the pros perity of the west" that is the notii cable feature. B':t let us make one more quota tion: This points to a still greater trade later on in the year. The west i? developing to a wonderful extent, and the distributions are being made from western and southern centers that previously were made from New York. The tendency ot the manufacturing industries is to better qualities of goods, better styles and more originality. Of late, finding it useless to report the old falsehood about "higher prices," the free trade and demo cratic press has been busy in saying that prices are kept from rising by lowering the quality of the goods sold, but the trade organs tell us that the demand everywhere throughout the United States is for better qualities than ever before were offered. If it wasn't for the facts, how ad mirable would free trade theories be Chicago Inter Ocean. A FLORIDA PHENOMENON. We clip the following from the Scientific American: Mr. Editor: I arrived here about six weeks ago and have since vis ited on several occasions the most rare and peculiar phenomenon. There is a prairie within three miles of this place that is fifteen miles in length, with an average width of live miles. Twelve years ago it filled with water to a depth of eight to twenty feet, varying ac cording to high and low ground. This water stood undisturbed for this twelve years' space of time un til last August, when it suddenly disappeared entirely in two days, leaving two small holes of water, not exceeding ten acres area, and a few ponds here and there of sizes too insignificant to mention. The soil here is principally sand underlaid at varying depths by very soft sand and limestone. There is some Hint at great depths. Near the location where the water is thought to have made its exit the country is b'terally dotted with holes, varying from ten to forty feet in depth; the sides are steep and precipitous. These holes are com monly known here as sinks, and are sometimes formed in a single night. For days after the escape of the water from this prai'ie the stench of putrid fish was intolerable. The farmers luuiled them off in wagons for fertilizers. On the prairie anywhere turtle shells can be seen, with here and there the skeleton of some unlortu raie alligator that has been killed by some marksman or by some S' ray hunter. HAKKY BUNKOk'D. Gainesville, Fla., March H, 1S9-'. The following paragraph from l'ostmasler General Wanamaker's address before the conference of postmasters last mouth ought to be made familiar to every citizen who desires to see a business-like ad ministration of our public affairs: "At 12 o'clock this ve-y day, three years ago, I took my place as a fel low workman with you in this ser vice. As a matter of fact and for your encouragement I will state that these three years cannot be matched in good results to the ser vice by any other similar period in 102 years of its history. From March 4, 188(1, to March 5, 1H02, we have established 10,549 new post offices, more than one-sixth of the whole number in existence. To the 2,GT4 presidential offices of 1S80 we have added in three years 4f7 about 18 per cent of the entire num ber of such offices, which is now 3,121. In the matter of the revenue, the three years prior to the present administration increased postal re ceipts $24,000,000, or from $13O,0U0,O0O to ?154,0U0,C:'J, being more than 18 per cent. The three years of this administration carried the revenue from $154,00.00:) to over $195,0i,000, an increase of more than 2I per cent; in other words, we maintained the $24,000,000 gained by the last ad niinistraiion and added over $40,5( K),(KK) to it." The dewocrits can't dodge the free wool bill now for they have passed it by a solid party vote, and it will cost their party many thousands of votes in localities it cannot afford to spare them. They can't dodge that question even if they do dodge lree silver. Some of the democratic papers of New York are asking a question that they think i a stunner and thinks no one can answer. Here is the question: ' If Cleveland can't carry New York, who cau?" V'ewilJ answer it by not only naming a aiau who can, but one who will carry that state this fall and bis nam' is Harrison. Mrs. I.essie Hunt and Mis Mattie Smith were passengers this morn ing for Omaha. STATE BASE BALL.

HIS WIFE A University Place Man Who Can Congratulate Himself on His Marksmanship. A story conies floating in from University Place that D. M. Wolf, a grocer in that village, has occasion o entertain grateful reflections that lie is not an unerring bell-ringer with a gun. One night early in this week he was aroused by a suspicious noise at the front door. Mr. Wolf hastened at once to the door with a light and a gun. When he inquired through the door what was wanted a man on the outside made some reply and vanished. Mr. Wolf ex tinguished the light in due time and started back to the bedroom. On his way he noticed some one ut the kitchen window, and supposing it to be a burglar who had effected an entrauce, pointed his weapon in that direction and fired. lie was P5.HMERS: LOOK v - II.

AMERICAN TIN INDUSTRY. Twenty-two thousand pounds of tin is not a great deal, but it was enough to make the Loudon dealers in the metal telegraph to New York to lower the price of foreign tin lest the American product should in jure the business. This J,JUU pounds of tin was the first ship ment from the Temescal mines, in this state, received in New York on Yednesday, and ordered by the consigness to be sold to dealers in small lots us samples of an article which in a short time will supply the American market. There is only one smelter at work at the Temescal mines at the pres ent time, and the output is necessa rily limited, but us soon ns addi tional machinery can be put up the product of tin will be greatly in creased. The quality of this first shipment of California tin is saidto be fully equal to that ( the best tin from the Straits Settlements, and the price will reach that ob tained for this grade of imported tin.

It is asserted on good authority that the deposits of tin ore in the Temescal mines are very extensive, and that there is a prospect of a greut output of the metal. If this be true it will not take long for the California tin to make a decided impress on the imports of the foreign metal. Our ttnnual import of tin is valued at about $7,000,000, so 22,000 pounds of the metal a't 20 or r2 cents a pound does not cut much of u figure, or rather would not if this were the beginningand ending of it; but because it is believed there is plenty more where this came from it exercises an immedi ate elTect upon the market. This shipment of tin will discour uge the tin plate liars more than ever, if such a thing be possible. It has not escaped attention that the democratic house has been per fectly mum on the tin and tiif plate schedules of the McKinley bill, and now there will be less likelihood than ever of their being touched this season - San Francisco Chron- i icle.
