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. Indianola Her

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."

THE CAMERA'S MAGIC.
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
