Geokob D. Meiklejohn. Walt. M. Skeley, Chairman. Secretary. One ef the best tests of the importance of the present administration is our rela tions with foreign poners. And it is a fact that never since the days of old Jim mie Buchanan lias the American Nation cut so pitiable a figure with foreign pow ers as it has under President Cleveland's administration. Offensive bluster toward weak powers, and obsequious flunkeyism toward strong ones, has been the rule. Mr. Bayard has certainly proved himself an unfit representative of our yankee na tion both in his selection of consuls and his policies. In the CcTrrxo affair he was ready te involve the nation in a quarrel with a fifth-rate power, over an unimportant adventurer, and was in the wrong in his gibble from first to last. In the fishery controversy he was as weak as an irresponsible Indian agent, without policy or backbone, and now in the 3Io roeco dispute he comes out a bluffer against a little friendly state of insigni ficant standing, and has allowed the na tion to be involved in a controversy over a Mohammedan Moor, to whom one Lewis, American Consul, had granted a patent of protection," which the Sul tan of Morocco failed to respect. It ap pears Mr. Bayard has ordered three men of war of our little American navy to threaten the Sultan and intimidate his government into respecting Consul Lew is's "patent of protection." The insult complained of is merely fanciful, the cre ation of the one-horse representative Lewis, and the naval demonstration is a ventable burlesque. It has never been the policy of this nation to send one horse politicians abroad to grant letters of protection to greasers and Arab trad ers. The diplomatic practico of guaran teeing the safety of natives in semi-civi-lized countries is as absurd as it is unpo litic and mischievious; but such is about the size of this Cleveland administration. First-class powers abroad are laughing at us, and well they may. Asd now comes Mr. Carlisle and exer cise his jaw bone unneeessarially by pledging his word that some kind of a revenue measure will be exacted dur ing the present session of congress. "Some kind"(?) of a measure eh! "Well that is just about the size of it It wilt be some kind of a bastard offspring from a dishonest," imbecil, impotent source. First comes Mr. Cleveland's double-back-action, single barreled, free trade message which was all ears; next, a romiting boast from; every democratic newspaper and politician that the mes sage waa a special revelation of full in spiration; next, the appointment of a Ways and Means committee with a Texas free trade ranger as its chairman to en act the message into a full fledged free trade act of congress. Then cornea the vigorous kick from the business end ot the country; democrats and republicans alike which paralyzed the committee, turned the executive liver over and otherwise set the democratic charger on his haunches and uow we have after four months of the session is over a dilapidated bill in which the protection interests of every democratic state are pondered to and modified by concessions and compromises (for votes only) until the old bill, for it is old already, looks like the remains ef Joseph Coat. So, we conclude Mr. Carlisle is fully warranted in assuring the country that we are go ing te have some kind of a tariff reduc tion measure; but Buch a kind! the mon key and the parrot promised the audience a kind of an entertainment and they furnished it; so we have heard. There are some of our free trade friends who feel confident that if the tariff wus taken off, it would result in the breaking up of trusts or combina tions. We are unable to see wherein this would have any influence whatever in controlling them. Take for instance the sugar trust; there is a duty on this article to protect our sugar industries. Take it off and the trust would simply tako in the sugar refiners of Europe snd would make still more money. The manufacturers in Europe, it must be remembered, are not pure sanctified angels, they will enter these trusts and make them mere difficult to manage. It is also a well known fact that some of the most grinding and cruel trusts er combinations in this country are on articles that are on the free list as in the tho case of Anthracite coal. A trust is an infernal thing that must be dealt with as men would deal with ferocious beasts, kill thorn, and do it as quick as possible. Already legislatures of states and con gress are fighting these thousand headed monsters and will continue to do so un til they succeed in completely abolishing them root and branch.

How Men Die. It we know all the methods of approach adopted "by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and post pone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inher ent strength of the body suffices to enable it to oppose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to suh an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened lungs will make all the differ ence between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symp toms of a cough, cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs, give that old and well known remedy Boschee's German Svrup, a careful trial. It will prove what thousands say ot it to be, the "bene factor of any home." An observant metropolitan barber says that he can tell one's physical condition by the state of the hair!

INGENIOUS USE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN KINDRED ARTS. As Interesting- Chat with "Tho Old Man" Modern Way of Making- Watch Dials Tho Sand Blast A Costly El perl men t Enlarged Pictures. Mr. T. C. Roach, familiarly known by pho tographers all over tho United States and even in Buropo as "tho old man," is recog nized by them as a sort of niahatma, ono who, if bo does not quite "know it all," is very liable to find out anything more that is to tie discovered. He has taken out a greater number of patents in photography than any body else iu this country. Speaking recently of the practical application of photography in late years, be said to a reporter: "Do you know that watch dials are now made by photography at a mere fraction of their former cost! They all used to be painted by band. Now a hundred are made in tho time formerly required to produce one, and each of the hundred is better than tbo ono would have been. The dial is of copper cov ered with enamel. Upon that they lay a sen sitized coating of albumen and bichromate of potash. A large drawing, say twelve inches in diameter, of the design, figures, and dots that it is desired to put upon the dial is photographed down to the required size, which makes it so very fine that whatever inaccuracies may have been in the drawing are almost beyond discovery by the micro scope. The negative thus made is exposed to the light in contact with the gelatine coated watch dial for from three to five minutes. Electric light is just as good as sun light. Where the light has acted the gelatine is made insoluble. The dial is now inked over with common lithographic transfer ink. Next, with a clean sponge moistened with a little gum water, the ink and gelatine are wiped off the dial from all parts except where tho light has acted, and to those it ad heres, leaving the design in clear black upon the enameled plate. But that design would easily blur and rub oft by wear. Another process is necessary to make it permanent. A metallic enamel powder of any color de sired black, blue, red, green, or purple is dusted upon the dial. It sticks to the inked portions, but nowhere else. Then the dial is put in the rauole and fired. The enamel powder melts into the white enamel base, and the work is complete. The Waltham Watch company paid $2,000 for that process. By it they can turn out, for ten cents each, dials that in tho old way of making would have cost $1 apiece. "Speaking of that necessity recalls to ma the effort now making for the production, for purpose of magazine and book illustration, printed with typo, of photographs from nature or paintings, by means of what ore now called tint glasses. About that I am going to tell you a page of history that has not before been published, and that will make no small stir among a number of persons who are claiming to be the inventors of processes in that direction at the present time. The real inventor of tint glasses or, as he called thorn, ruled spectrums was Baron von Egloff stein, who patented his processes in the United States and England as long ago as 1SG5. He was a brilliant, highly educated man, wbo did a great deal of fine engineering work for our government, and who went away to Europe several years ago. There was a rumor that he had died, but only re cently I heard that he had retired to a monastery somewhere and was still living. "Well, a big company, mainly of United States officials, was formed for the develop ment of Baron von Egloffstein's discovery and its utilization for the printing of greenbacks and other paper money in such wise as to defy counterfeiting. Secretary Chase was in that company, as were also Baron Perault, Captt Etuis, Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island; Mr. Knapp, tbo nttsbung gun founder; Mr. Schoonmaker, the A. T. Stewart of Balti more; Representative Laflin, Mr. Clark, ot the bureau of printings a Massachusetts sen ator, whose name I do not now recall, and several other prominent men. Jay Cooke & Co. were the company's bankers. They had any quantity of money. In one year they spent over $130,000 in working the process on steel, and they used to say that they had $20, 000,000 ready to put in it as soon as it was a proved success. Every Saturday they used to have a meeting at the Fifth Avenue hotel. square up all the bills, have a big dinner, and drink champagne by tbe basketful. "But their expectations were not realized. Baron von Egloffstein used a fine plate glass, covered with a very opaque etching ground, which was cross hatched by tbe finest possi ble lines, 600 to the inch, which was inter posed between the light and the object, or the glass negative or positive, to be photographed. You can see that the effect would be that in stead of producing a picture in smooth half tones, like an ordinary photograph, one would bo made that was all broken up into fine cross hatched lines and dota. From this re sulting negative transfers could be made to stone, steel, or copper, or could be printed directly by contact upon a metal plate for etching. Of course, for intaglio work, as for printing from steel a positive picture would be used and a negative for type press print ing. Tbe principle of the thing was all right, beautiful; but in practico it was found that the closeness together of the fine lines pre vented getting sufficient depth. If tho plates were bitten down deep enough for printing, there was no body to bear repeated and heavy pressure and a few impressions would break them down. The few impressions obtained were superb, but the plates would not last. More practical Jesuits are now.attained by a coarser ruling, of about 100 lines to the inch, for the production of relief plates for type presri printing. The old patents have now run out, and the process belongs to anybody who choses to employ it. "One of the late and possibly rather sur prising discoveries in photography, which also is a patent of mine, is the enlargement of photographs to any required size without the aid of a solar camera, merely by the light of an ordinary oil lamp, or even by a flash of gun cotton. In the old way a costly solar camera was necessary, a machine costing $250 or $300; much time and clear 6unlight, and a very expensive pre pa red paper were also all requisites to the process. Now I, or rather the firm to whom I have transferred, my rights, make a comparatively cheap papal1, in a roll of any desired length and as muon as forty-two inches wide, coated by the gelatine-bromide of silver process, and, with the aid of a little apparatus like a magic lantern, costing $20, and which can be operated day or night, in a cellar or a bedroom, if neces sary, can produce an enlargement of a pict ure to any required size, say from a tintype as big as your thumb nail up to life dimen sions. The development of the enlarged pict ure is made in the usual manner, and then it is ready for finishing in crayon, pastel or in any other way desired. Pictures of actors and actresses, full length, life size, have in this way been enlarged from cards do viaito and finished up for photographing again, in reduction, for plates produced by process for printing on a type press, a method that is very convenient for tbo artist, and enables the making at email expense of a very fine and certainly accurate picture for practical 3&-NiwY0rkB3rV1wV Real Estate Bargains EXAMINE OUR LIST.
