Press Dispatches.
TIN PLATE LIARS.
It is hardly possible to name auy one
article of commerce that, innocent as it
is in itself, is producing more disturb
ance in this country and England tban
tin plate. More rhetoric is wasted, more
statistics dug up, and more lies told
about tin plate than about everything
else. The very air is full of tin plate.
Today large buildings are being erected
to manufacture tin plate. Tomorrow
there is not a tin plate factory in the
United States. Yesterday vast tin mines
were scattered over the country from
Maine to California. Today there is not
a tin mine in the country. Yesterday a
free trader proved by unimpeachable
statistics that the price of tin plate had
gone up enormously. Today a protect
ionist by equally unquestionable testi
mony proves that the price has not rais
ed a fractiou of a cent. The disciple of
Mills affirms that tin plate is going to
bankrupt the country. The disciple of
McKinley asserts that it is going to be
cheaper than it ever was before. All
this delightful harmony of opinion is
known as American politics and the
people pays their money and takes their
choice. Meanwhile the dispatches have
informed us that the Welsh tin plate
works will shut down about the end of
the week: The efforts to induce the
manufacturers to reconsider their deter
mination of stoppage was a failure, and
the programme as originally determined
upon will be carried out. Their employes
are greatly excited over the movement,
and many oi the expert hands are pre
paring to imigrate to the United States
where they hope to obtain employment
in the tin plate works to be started or
now running. Politicians among the
tory ranks and members of the working
men's clubs are clamoring for something
akin to protection, while the liberals,
with whom free trade with all the world
is still a prominent principle, are silent.
WHAT SHALL BE THE STAND
ARD? England is either financially very wise
or very foolish and few will have the
hardihood to affirm that the latter is
true. While France has a silver reserve
of no less than six hundred and fifty
millions and the United States treasury
is loaded with silver, Great Britian does
not hold its reserve a single dollar of this
metal. And yet London is the financial
center of the world, and if anything is
bought or sold in foreign lands a draft on
London is demanded because everyone
knows that, come what may, it will be
paid in coin that never changes its value.
The United States is the only country in
the world, except Mexico, that issues a
debased legal tender coinage. How long
she will be able to continue issuing four
and a half millions of these coins or
notes every month and maintain their
qu'ality with gold, no man can tell, but
one thing is certain, unless. silver rises
in value or enough is put into the dollars
to make them equal with gold or the
purchase of silver by the government is
stopped, we shall sooner or later find the
gold driven out of circulation and the
country reduced to a silver basis, and
when the seven hundred millions of gold
now in circulation is driven out the
country will have less, instead of more
of the circulating medium than it has at
present.
A SUGGESTION.
An advertisement in our eastern paper
suggests to us a very practical way by
which this city could offer inducements
to foreign capital to establish some man
ufacturing industry at this place. The
city already owns a mill Bite and water
power sufficient to meet the wants
of a woolen factory or scouring mill or
some such industry. Let the city adver
tise the offer of the site and power its a
bonus to. any company that will conform
to its conditions in the matter of estab
lishing a factory, and, as a further in
ducement offer an exemption from all
municipal taxation, say for a period of
five or ten years. Such an offer, judic
iously advertised might attract the at
tention oi factory men and capitalists
who would otherwise remain in ignor
ance of this inviting and attractive field
for investment. We commend the sug
gestion to the attention, of the city au
thorities. There is nothing in the principle of
protection'which prevents, while foster
ing home markets, having the advantage
of the pick of the markets of the world.

Statistics showing the comparative
wealth of the four great civilized nations

merce, culture and political force, place

all at the .head of the list.. The wealth
of this country exceeds that of Great
Britain by ten billions of dollars and by
the same amount the wealth of France
and Germany combined. The figures
are as follows : Great Britain, $45,000,
000,000; Germany, $25,000,000,000;
France, $40,000,000,000; United States,
$55,000,000,000.
The movement on foot at The Dalles
to build a railroad into the tributary
country to the south of that city should
commend itself to the business men of
Portland as one of great interest to this
city. The development of these portions
of the state now deprived of adequate
transportation facilities is the true pol
icy of the metropolis. Beneficial to The
Dalles as it will be to have a line of rail
way running from that city southward
through Sherman and Crook counties, it
will be still more so to Portland, where
most of the additional trade thus created
will center. This is equally true of all
feeders that may be built in anv direct
ion from the trunk lines centering in
this city, as well as those leading out
from the city direct. Such being the
case, this movement at The Dalles and
all similar enterprises should receive
substantial encouragement from the bus
iness men of Portland. Oregonian.
The San Franciscco Examiner editor
ially states there is no such thing as a
tin mine in the United States, and in
the same issue has a double-headed item
announcing the arrival, via San Diego,
of six tons of tin from Temescal, San
Bernardino countv. Astorian.

The Blame fur Dirty Streets.
A walk in the principal etree and
avenues from 7 to 9 o'clock in toe morn
ing will convince the observer -7 that,
whatever the shortcomings of the street
cleaning department, storekeepers and
housekeepers are primarily and incident
ally responsible for dirty streets by
allowing their employes to sweep into
the streets the dust .of their houses or
stores, and the dirt . and refuse found
npon the sidewalk. "
If the walk is extended to the tenement
house districts at any hour of the day it
will be noticed that it is quite the custom
to throw ashes and garbage into the
streets, and to allow these materials to
escape into the street or npon the side-'
walk from insufficient, improper or over
flowing receptacles. It will also be no-,
ticed that soon after a street has been
cleaned it is again defiled by the refuse
and garbage from the neighboring build
ings, and that the carts which transport
street dirt, ashes and garbage, sand for
new buildings, earth from cellar excava
tions and the dust and dirt from build
ings torn down, scatter some part of their
contents into the street as they proceed
to their destination.
A student of the problem of street
cleaning has only to make the above ob
servations to learn the primary cause of
dirty streets in New York, and that
without a thorough reform in this par- :
ticular relief is well nigh hopeless. This
simple solution of the problem is only
the application to the streets of the fa
miliar rules which govern every well
regulated household. Can a house be
clean if the members of the family
throw waste paper and other refuse on j
the floors, and ignore the waste basket
and the cuspidore; and how many times
a day must the floors of the house be
swept if such a practice is tolerated?

ence Monthly.

The most expensive dinner decoration
I ever had charge of was on the occasion
of a banquet given to General Cutting,
at Delmonico's. The whole outlay for
flowers alone was $3,000. But even this
does not approach the lavish extrava
gance of the Roman Emperor Nero,
who gave a feast where $100,000 was
spent in roses alone.
For a dinner of twelve people it is an
ordinary thing to spend from $50 to
$500 upon flowers. For a banquet $1,000
to $3,000 is usually laid out But these
latter outlays are seldom made, because
of the infrequency of large dinners.
One hundred and fifty dollars is an ex
penditure of every -day occurrence. In
the large cities like New York it is a
common thing for wealthy people to
spend from $100 to $500 a week in flow
ers, exclusively for home use. Where
do they put all these flowers, you ask?
You are wrong if you think there is a
large quantity of flowers. Whenever I
have been asked to decorate a house or
furnish flowers for daily use I have se
lected quality rather than quantity.
Among wealthy people, the choicest
flowers for the dinner table are orchids.
These flowers exhibit a remarkable vari
ation; in fact, it is difficult in some species
to find two flowers exactly alike in size
and color. A boutonniere for the gen
tlemen should be made of a "Philanop
sis," and about three "Catalyas" tied
with a cluster of narrow ribbons to
match, for the ladies. This is the most
beautifnl manner of table decoration, if
well arranged and properly carried out.
But it is also the most expensive. C. F.
Klunder in Ladies' Home Journal.
Ton Can Tell a Man from His Walk.
We have professors who offer to read
our characters by our handwriting, by
the lines on our faces, our expressions,
our voices and what not. It is a little
absurd, considering what dissemblers
nature has put it in our power to be.
You can tell much more about a man
from his walk. . To begin with, after suf
ficient practice, you may determine his
profession-which is more than the ca
ligraphy interpreters dare pretend to,
and afterward you may make a fair esti
mate of the nature of the man.
I have read a tale in which, somewhat
wickedly, a bishop was introduced into
an establishment of Turkish baths,
whence, his episcopal clothes were pur
loined by another bather, who left a
plebeian suit of loud check for his lord
ship. The bishop made a great outcry,
.but he could not convince the proprietor
of the baths that he was really the bishop
and not the other man. It was a heart
rending situation for the bishop, and
eventually he had to retire in the suit of
plebeian check, much humiliated.
Now if only the bath proprietor had
been a man of talent, he might in a
moment have seen that the bishop was
worthy of better fortunes than the check
suit implied. He should have asked him
to walk unaffectedly once up and down
his largest room. An episcopal walk is
no ordinary one. It would have declared
him at once. All the Year Round.
The Evil Eye.
The Corsicans are not the only people
in the world who believe in the evil eye,
for the Turk is so affected by it that he
thinks it extends its influences to what
ever animals belong to him. Strings of
coral are sold on the streets and said to
be a preventive against the evil. It is
very curious to see the donkeys, crowds
of which are found in the streets, with
strings of coral twisted in their tails.
' When he gets in a violent" rage the
very worst thing tHat a Turkish gentle
man can threaten his donkey with is the
taking away of the jewels which protect
him from the evil eye, for in this 4 y he
will give him over to all kinds of cruelty
and the possession of the demon. In
the markets bits of coral are laid among
the purple grapes or green vegetables
with the hope that good luck will come
to them and they will bring a highet
price. New York Sun.
