WISE ADVICE.
Charles A. Lane, of San Francisw,
chairman of the national Mmetalic
" committee, las issued an address to the
biraetalfsta of America in which he
- ' advises submission to the will of the
majority.thougbjhe favors the retention
of silver clubs and party organization,
so that if promised prosperity shall not
, materialize, the bimetalists of the
couutry shall be in position to control
. future elections and put iriftr practice
' the principles they advocate. Mr,
Lane says In part: - : ' ;V: ..
, ' "While the supporters of Mr. Bryan
and the great principles which' ha es
4', poused have no reason to regret the
, ' effort made in his behalf, and which Le
will renew when occasion requires it.
Is only the part of wisdom to accept
. with the utmost good faith the decision
" of the American people upon this or
v any other question submitted to their
-v deliberate judgment. The struggle
i , .was one of great import to the material
- interests of the republic, and was con-
tested with unusual interest by the
' contending parties. ; It was from- the
" " very outset one of marked inequality
in point of influence and power, acd
- may well be considered, as it has many
times been justly denominated, a con
test of mijjbt against right, and the
.'Tcombined influence of wealth against
the unprotected interests of the com-
mon people, sua meresuit i tueiaaue, umDia j9 tne removal oi oostruc
considering the inequality f the con- ; tions to navigation between this place
ditions, was such as to challenge the an(j lne 0pen river above Celilo. The
admiration of every patriotic citizen.
"The cause of bimetalism, which
' was the:watchvord of the- anti-repub-
lii-'an forces, -has not been , abandoned
by its friends or advocates, nor are wo
". " disnayed by this temporary defeat.
We are as' firmly convince!- now of its
ultimate triumph in the United States
as that the - American flag is the em
blem' ; of constitutional liberty, and
Awhile the people" may for a time be
overshadowed by sophistry, and the
. truth "obscured :by the screen of de
ception or intrigue, they will Anally
rise above the darkened horizon-and
assume their rightful position as the
guiding stars of popular government.
"But the election has been accom
plished, and it is, now the duty' of
evry citizen to accept the result-in a
" spirit of patriotism unsullied by par-ti-ian
rancor, 'and n n em harassed ; by
factious agitation of the issues which
have just been fought out. ' While we,
as bimetalists, still adhere to the con
viction that there can be no perma
nent relief to the 'people based upon
the slngw-'gol-standardj and"" lb at
time will demonstrate the accuracy" of
' our position, we at' the same timd re-
gird it as a- duty enjoined, upon every
citizen to do everything in his . powr
to assieUthe president-elect, in - every
effurt to'premdte Xb welfare of the
rwtnleby any policy wb'ch he considers
. may accompiioft that result. ';: -v, .'.".,
- - "To this end, we earnestly adyts all
our friends throughout the , United
States to suspend active agitation of
the subject of free coinage . of silver
further than a simple mobilizing of
. free-silver clubs throughout the Union
.and keeping up of 'the clubrooms for
' future service. By this means, we
'-' shall furnish to our adversaries every
opportunity to fulfill the promises they,
made to the people during the. cam
paign just closed of restoring to. the,.
United States that measure of prosper
ity which its resources and commercial
standing entitle it to enjoy among the
nations of the earth, and if it shall be
demonstrated that the incoming ad
ministration shall be able to accom
plish this result for the people wc shall
have no reason to regret the outeome
of the issue at the polls.'
"If it can be demonstrated by actual
experiment that the theories advanced
by the republican party in the-recent
election will bring to the people the
promised relief, every bimetalist in the
United States will be as free to
acknowledge his error as he was! can
did in supporting his principles, in the
past campaign. But if, on .the con
trary, we are furnished- only . with
broken pledges and the old make-shift
of issuing bonds in the. vain attempt
of keeping -up our "credit" by running
farther into 'debt is again resorted to,
we promise to renew the struggle until
bimetalism. shall become an accom
plished fact, in the United States.,

There is no disguising the .fact that
- , the business of the United States is
,,, ; far from what it should bex and. is not
a fulfillment of the expectations Oi
those who looked forward to the elec
tioa of McKinley a- an event that
' '- - wouid stimulate trade, and result in a
renewal of prosperity through the res
toration of confidence in the stability
, of. the nation's currency. R. G.;Dunn
& :Co.'a and Bradstree't's report j)f the
condition of trade for the week ending
last Saturday note a downward ten
dency in prices and very tittle activity
in any branchibf trade,. .'. ; '
During the week' there werfe'tiSl busii
neps failures reported in the United
States, another increase as compared
with the average in recents weeks; 22
more than last week, 67 more than in .
the like week one. year ago, but- two
' ' lpss than in the 'second' week .of De-:
.. cetnber, 1894, although 44 more than
In the corresponding .period in 1893. j
" As compared with the' like week- in
1892, theiucreased number of failures
this week is 83. '
These showing? are not encouraging;
it is not what was expected. Forty
four more 'ailuies than in the corres
ponding week of 1893, the rpost-dkan
t 'ous year in thi- history of the nation,
is anything but the sh winjr that
should be made just on the heels of
season when "confidence has been re
stored."
Sooii after the election numerous
factories started up, but the-mi.sipatchei-announce
they are unable to, find mar
ket for their products, hencl are forced
to close down. The fact is the people,
the'pr'oducers arid consumers, have
nothing with" which to purchase the
output of the mills. Thotfarroers have
no market except for their .wheat, and
since-they are the foundation of all
prosierity, the wheels of commerce
are blocke 1, and will remain idle,-.ua-til
the farmers can be made more pros
perous, that is until they are given a
market for every article they raise at
fair prices. Possibly if the result of
the election had been different, and in
consequeuee all tlie silver mines of the
West had begun operation?, employ
ing hundreds 6f thousands of men,
things would have been different.
The farmers would have found market
for their products in the mines, and
would have become larger consumers
of manufactured articles; these miner-3
would" have become consumers not
only of farm products but of the output
of factories1; the manufacturers ' would
have in turn been able to have kept
their wheels in motion, and possil ly
the business failures for tho eecond
week of December would have shown, a
falling off. We might) under those cir
cumstances have lad -Teal prosperity
which we certainly have not now.
RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
f inee the canal and locks at the
Cascades have leen completed, the1
next u 'alter to br corsidered in the '
j way 0f river improvement on the Col-
engineers of the war department have 1
determined that thi improvement
shall consist of a ship railway, a con
trivance which many believe to be
Impracticable on account of the cost
of operating it, which is estimated by '
"those who pretend to know, will be
about $100,000 a year. i
' Why a ship railway was determined
upon has never been explained, and
has been a wonder to many, since the
topography of the country . is such as I
to make it evident that a canal and!
locks could be built at a comparative
light expense. -From th' big eddy to
the still water above the dalles rapids
there is a natural channel on this side
of the river through which the water
runs at high stages, and to convert it
into a canal would require but-a small ;
amount of blasting. There would be
no necessity, for any n ason work as
the canal thus constructed would htfve
natural walls, and only two lock gates
would be needed.- Then at Celilo falls
nature has provided well for the build
ing of a canal on the Washington side
that would need be ..only abont 1,000
feet in length, and two lock gates
would be all that this canal would re- j
quire'. With -such improvements as
tb ese, the cost pf . pass i ng boat s th rough
would be very -Mght, whereas much ex- .
pen e must be attached to operating a !
ship railway sisteon- miles in length, (
to say nothing of the possible. damage
to vessels in taking them out of the
water and carrying them overland
that distance. -
However, since the government en
gineers have determined upon a ship
railway, it is not probable .that their
plains will be changed, especially after
action has been begun to condemn the
right of way. Nevertheless it appears
that a canal and locks would be the
most reasonable method, and least ex
pensive in the long run, of overcoming
the obstructions to navigation between
here and Celilo. V
tVHO IS A LIAR?
As. was expected, General Weyler
makes a flat denial that Maceo was as-
sssinated, and declares, that he can
prove the same by his own assertions
and the testimony of Dr. Zertucha.who
betrayed Maceo and delivered him in
to the hands of the Spaniards.. It is
very uatural Weyler should undertake
to wash bis hands of the dastardly mur
der. The red-hapded assasin always is
willing to give testimony of bis own
innocense. Cain denied the killing
of Abel, and ever since that first mur
der, criminals with few exceptions
have .protested their own innocense.
Circumstances, however, are against
Weyler, and when the history of the
Cuban war is written it will hold him
upas a murderer of the worst type.
His assertions of innocense will not
be accepted, and the more he at temp's
to explain away the 'stains that reft
upon his character, the more he will
convince the public that he is gu 1 y
of one of the blackest deeds ever per
petrated in civilized warfare.
Weyler's career in Cuba has been
one continuation of blunders and. fail
Aires,, but the mpst serious mistake he
has thus far made was the assassin a
lion of Maceo. Nothing could have
been done to have aroused more gen
eral sympathy for the Cubans than the
treacherous v'rntirder of this .daring
leader, nor could anything have been
done to bring theSpanish- forces into
greater disrepute. It was a violation
of "all rutesj of civilized 4 warfare to
eptice an enemy into a trap under the
guise of a friendly council ana then mur-
derhim. By this act the Spaniards
have forfeited all claims pf civilization,
and cannot longer expect otherpowers
to hold aloof and see sue h. butchery
continue.' This dastardly act of bar
barism cannot be countenanced-by the
civilized world, nor will it have a ten
dency to allay public sentiment in this
country. On the. contrary, the sym
pathy. of even ;such conservative men
as the president must be aroused for
the Cubans, and it will now be a diffi
cult matter to restrain congress from
acknowledging Cuban ''independence.
Attention is called to the fact thit it
was "the great cities of the country
which gave McKinley his largest vote."
Indeed if it had not been for Chicago,
Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
McKinley's plurality would berwiped
out twice over. And yet.from'yery
one of these cities comes the announce
ment of poverty in. its most wretched
condition thousands upon thoutands
of families bordering upon starvation.
Some of the suggestions made by
Judge Jlartio, of Umatilla ' county (j
with reference to our tax sj stem, which
are published elsewhere in this issue,
are good, ana we trust will have weight
with the pex$ legislature. TJie pres
ent system- Of taxation and collecting
taxes is indeed faulty, and certainly
needs changing.
AX AUTOCRATIC JUD3E.
Judge Bellinger was very right in
setting aside the judgment of the jury
as to the value of property and damage
thereto on the Columbia river, through
joiistruction of the proposed boat rai -ay
from The Dalles to Celilo. Juries
often have no sense as to values, wh-n
the damage is assessed against the
public. The indignation of Jude
tieliinger was very just. Oreoniau.
Indeed, is this irue? (Where does
the Oregonian get its information,
that it should speak thus authorita
tively? And where did Judge BelliLgi r
gain his knowledge as to the amount
of damages to be sustained by tho
owners of the property which the gov
ernment seeks tocondemn? A jury f
twelve presumably honest and intelli
gent men heard all the testimony suL
mitted by the government and the
owners of the property; they were
taken to the premises, carefully ex
amined thera, and made up their ver
dict from a knowledge of what they had
heard in evidence and 3een by personal
observation. Which U most capable of
judging! as to the damage the property
owners will sustain, those twelve jur
ors, who heard all the testimony and
examined all the surroundintrs, ihe
land to be condemnel and the privi
iedges the owners will be decrivei1 of
by reason of the building of the boat
railway, or Judge Bellinger and tho
editor of the Oregonian, neither of
whom have any knowledge of the prop
erty, gained from personal observation.
If Judge Bellinger's "indignation was.
very just," then the jury system is a
dismal failure. If juries have "no
sense as to values." all matters as. to
damages in such cases as these had as
well be submitted to some judge, who
never gets ou of the sacred precincts
of his office, and to the astute editor of
the Oregonian, who has about as much
knowledge of what the owners of the
property in controversy will be dam
aged as does tlie sultan of Turkey, for
neither of them have personally in
vestigated the matter.
In our humble opinion Judge Bellin
ger's action in setting aside the vet
diet of the.jury was unwarranted. He
assumes to know more, about, the facts
in the caso than do the twelve men
who made a personal investigation of
every detail. He assumes that he is
alwie, and that the jury was composed
of a dozen idiot. His action savors
more of an autocrat than of a just
jadge.
PROBABILITIES OF SCIENCE.
Recent achievements in the domain
of applied science, especially in elec
trical discovery, afford ample ground
for the belief that the world is on the
verge of startling revelations, and
mijrbty strides in knowledge and
power over the hidden forces of nature.
The nineteenth century was ushered
in with a mighty struggle between the
1 ert conservatism of long established
a id on progressive ideas on the one
h md, and the aggressive spirit of re
f Tin awakened by the American and
French revolutions on the other.-
Frim that struggle developed nine-t-enth
century ideas of con stitut! oral
government and individual freedom.
In contrast to the clash of arms and
the overthrow of monarchies with
which the century opened, its close is
witnessing a. bloodless but none the
less important contest; between man's
mental powers aud the great secrets
which the material world has thus far
jealously guarded from' bis knowledge.
Scientific investigators like Pasteur
and Kooh and KUson and Tesla and
Roentgen, have pursued "their experi
ments so devotedly and persistently
that they have wrested. . many exceed
ingly valuable secrets from the unwill
ing breast of nature. Such men have
won victories' more beneficial to man
kind- than-'-Napoleon or Wellington
ever achieved. ' !
And now. the world is startled by the
announcement that science has dis
covered a way to give sight to the
lind. Edison, the famous inventor
and physicist, has at last partially suc
ceeded in his effort's to impart sight to
the blind, and DrV Heber Roberts, of
St. Louis, is reported to have had even
more marked success -in his experi
ments of a similar nature.
. These achievements, says the
National Recorder, it is true, can not
be pronounced as entirely successful
as yet. The subjects experimented
upon were not able to 'see with the
disaoctness of the normal eye. But
that sightless persons should be made
to distinguish.. light and shade and
trace outlines of objects placed before
them is in itself a sufficiently wonder
ful thing.
The greatest significance, however,
of these remarkable experiments is
that they seem to bv opening up a new
and unexplored field for the researches
of science, the possibilities of which
none but a prophet would venture to
predict. Men who today occupy the
advanced outposts of scieniific progress
seem to be struggling upon the verge
of discoveries of vast import to man
kind, and in view of what has already
developed so recently, who shall dare
deny that the nineteenth century is
likely to close in a blaze of scientific
triumphs, even more valuable to the
world than any that have made the age
the most remarkrble in the world's
history.
WHO WILL RE SENATOlif
Will,.or will not John H. Mtchell be
re-elected United States senator? In
answer to this question it may be said
the indications are very favorable that
he ill not. There has developed a
far greater opposition to Mr. Mitch
ch ell's election now than there was
two years ago to the election of Mr.
Dolpb. At this time two years ago
there was practically no organized op
position tp"Mr.-Dolph; but today there
exists an organized effort to keep Mr.
Mitchell out "of the senate, and this
exists to ' such an extent that the
senator's most-ardent adjutants know
not where to look for his support.
. The republican members of the leg
islature are pretty evenly divided on
the money question, about as many
favoring the f ee coinage of silver as
there are who favor the single gold
standard, yet neither wing of the party
knows exactly where to plarse Mr.
Mitchell on the financial question.
True he has stated that he would abide
by the declarations of the St. Louis
platform, and the part he took in ti e
presidential campaign would indicate
his fealty to the gcli standaru until
such a time as bimetalism can be at
tained through international agree
ment, though his record in the senate
causes the gold men of his party to
doubt his sincerity. On the other
hand, his advocacy of the election of
McKinley has shaken the faith of the
silver element in his ability or in
clination to support principles which
they bold paramount to all others.
Hence it is there is a strong and deter
mined opposition in both wings of tie
republican party to prevent his re
election, and there is little probability
that the two elements can be harmon
ized before the convening of the
legislature, or during the session.
The only hope Senator Mitchell
can bavo of success is through his
ability to dUpanso federal patron
age in caso he is returned to the sen
ate. If re-elected he will be in a
position to dictate a majority of the
federal appointments in Oregon, and
on this account, he has a possible
chance, but were it not for this, his
chances, of re-election would indeed be
slighr..
Cut if Mr. Mitehel' is turned down,
who will succeed him? With all the
opposition, there seems to be no
avowed candidates, no person oo whom
the opposition has centered. Of
course' a" number of names have been
mentioned in this connection, but
none of the probable candidates have
thus far developed any strength, nor is
it possible that any one can claim that
the election is his until after the con
vening of t ho legislature.
Well informed politicians hold thnt
twenty-nine republican members of
tho legislature will refuso to vote fi-r
Mr. Mitchell under any circumstanc e.
These members are solid gold alvo
cates, and will support a candidate for
the senate who is in accord with these
views on the money question. But
they have not as yet developed suffi
cient strength to indicate that they
will succeed in electing a senator.
Though it is stated there are eight
members who have as yet expressed
no pref-rence, hence are susceptible of
conversion to the gold cause, but this
would leave the gold men nine short
of a majority, therefore it appenrs that
the democrats and populists in the
next session of the legislature will
hold the balance of poer, and with
proper consessions on their part, they
will be able to dictate as to who shall'
be United States senator.
With this condition existing, on
whom are they liable to bestow their
favors? Certainly not Mr. Mitchell.
And if not him, who?. Without ap
pearing to lie sectional, we would in
sist that Eastern Oregon is entitled to
the offlce. True this section of the
state has had the representative of the
second congr f bional district for four
years, and the same representative has
been re-elected to the 55th congress,
but we have not had a representative
in the upper house since Mr. Slater
retired from the senate. Multnomah
county had both senators for a nuuber
of years, and while Senator Mc Bride
is not a resident of Portland, still he
belongs to Western Oregon, and it Is
high time a senator should be chosen
from some county on the east side of
the mountains. There are many
brilliant men in Eastern Oregon, firm
advocates of free coinage on whom the
silver men could easily consolidate,
and since it is appaient that they will
have the control it is' noj improbable
to hope that Senator Mitchell's suc
cessor may be chosen from the buneh
grass region.
EDliOUlAL AOTES.
The million plurality for McKinley
that we heard so much about just after
the election has dwindled down, since
the returs are all in, to a lutle more
than half a million. '
The dispatches yesterday announced
that Maceo was still alive, and that he
had led his forces against Weyler in
an engagement on the 16th. The re
port came from a Spanish general, and
is given little credence. ' i '
The senate has passed Lodge's bill
amending the ..immigration laws so as
to exclude from admission into the
United .States all foreigners over 16
years of age who cannot read the lan
guage of the couniry'from which they
come. .-.'
In 1892 the popular vote cast for
president was 12.059.3ol; this year it
was 13,897.269. an increase of 1,837.918.
Cleveland's vote in 1892 was 5,556,918,
and Bryan's vote tnis year was, 6,498,
106, 1,141,188 more than Cleveland re
ceived, ' '
The Portland Oregonian styles all
efforts toward affecting international
bimetalism . as "courtesies, nothing
more." Many of those who voted for
McKinley last November do not agr e
with the Portland paper in this par
ticular. East Oregonian.
Col. Pat Donan, editor of the Utah-
ian, waxes eloquent and says: - "Why
not send one of Utah's brilliant, ac
complished and patriotic women to
the United States senate?" There is
no objection to sending a dozen or
more of them if Utah so desires, but
what grudge has Col. Donan at the
patriotic women of Utah that ho should
want to send them oat of the state?
While tho members of the legisla
ture to convene next month were
elected on the pledge to effect reforms
in the way of abolishing a lot of use
less boards and commissions, it is net
altogether certain this will be done.
The legislators all have friends who
are aspirants for positions on those
boards and commissions, and it would
not be hunan nature to deprive those
friends of an opportunity to feed at the
public crib.
The office of governor of Oregon is a
sort of private snap, having fieen so
made by the acts of past legislatures
in "imposing extra duties" upon him
an a member of numerous boards and
commissions. Besides the salary al
lowed him by the constitution he gets
82,000 a ye-ir for serving as a trustee
of the asylum, reform school, deaf-mute
school and blind school, and as a mem
tier at tne aomestic animal commis?
sion and prison inspector.
On Wednesday evening of next week
a meeting will be held at the office of
Hon..E. B. Dufur for the purpose of
organizing a silver league, an object
that many argue is uncalled, foi at this
time, since they hold the money ques
tion was finally settled at the last elec
tion, and further agitation would cause
distrust. This of course - should be
avoided so far as possible-, yet it is well
that the question of finance be kept
before the people that they may be
thoroughly acquainted with its every
detail before another presidential elec
tion shall occur. - Many supported the
republican ticket at the last elation,
believing that through its ascendency
to power rests the only hope of estab
lishing a true system of bimetalism,
and should this occur, there will be no
further need of agitating the question;
but should the attempt to establish bi
metalism by international agreement
fail, the question of independent action
on the part of this government will be
the main issue in the next, campaign,
hence the necessity at this time of or
ganizing leagues throughout the coun
try. Do you want to give your boy orgirl
a thorough business education? If
you do -Holmes' Business college, of
Portland, affords tbe best opportunity.
A scholarship in that college can be
bad on reasonable terms at this office.

The government organs say he should

Havana to receive, an unmerited ova

General Marin went to Cuba with

preliminary work at once.

TO OSSIFY HUMAN BODIES.
Two Chicago Men Think They Have I;
eovered a Proeewt.
Chicago, Dec. 1G. Charles D. and
Frank Boydston, of this city, think
they have discovered a method of turn
ing human bodies to stone and preserv
ing thera forever.
In-the basement of their establish
ment there is the body of a young
woman who died July IS last. This
b 'dy since it was treated by ihrm has
turned to stone, or to a substance re
sembling it, and appears to be imper
ishable. In aa upper room of the es
tablishment is another body of a
woman who died August 22, which ap
pears also to haye become petrified.
The brothers have, been experiment
ing for years, but the discovery of a
P'-oee-s (if petrification was in some
r 'spects an accident. Eight or t-n
months ago thry begin to treat bodies
with a preparation similar to the one
they believed h:t8 petrifying properties
with such encouraging results that
they kept up t heir experiments.

Ist-ueil.
San Francisco, Dec. 17. Tho 13th
report of the state mineralogist on the
"gold mills of California" has been re
ceived at the mininsr bureau Its com
pilation covers a periud of two years,
running to September 15, 1890. A con
densation of the roport gives some ex
tremely interesting duta and shows at
a glance tbe present condition of the
most important side of the mining in
dustry in this state.
There are in operation in California
at the present time 754 mills and 109
arastras. These mills contain 6221
stamps, an average of a little over
eight b tamps per mill. The total num
ber of concentrators in use is 757.
An important item is tbe classifica
tion of tbe various methods employed
in running the mills. Five are worked
by electricity, 300 by water, 185 by
steam, 2 by gas, 4 by gasoline and 2 by
horse-power. The remaining 2.6 are
unclassified.
There are only nine cyanide plants
in the stat, with a total capacity of
3Jo tons.

Queer Effects of Tradition
the Native Artists.
Upon
Methods of the Masters Carried Ont to aa
Exaggerated Kite:it by the Disciples
of Their Kespectlre Schools Pe
culiarities or Flower Work.
iapane.se drawings of flowers and
they usually draw them beautifully
are often influenced in some way by a
tradition. The man who invented the
method was a true impressionist, writes
Alfred Parsons in Harper's Magazine,
lie seized what appeared to him char
acteristic of the plant, and insisted on
that to the exclusion of other truths,
thus founding a mannerism which all
following artists imitated. In time,
what he saw as characteristic became
exaggerated by his disciples,, who
looked ct nature only through his eyes
and not with their own, and I have ob
served that the flowers which are most
frequently drawn are not so like the
originals as those less popular ones de
picted in books of botany and such
like, for drawing which there is no rec
ognized method, and where the
draughtsman relied entirely on his
own observation for his facts. Take,
for example, the spots on the lotus
stems; if you look very closely you can
see that there are siots, but certainly
they could not strike every artist as a
marked feature of the plant, for they
are not visible three yards away. But
some master noticed them many years
ago and spotted his stems, and now they
all spot them, and the spots gei bigger
and bigger; and so it will be until soma
original genius arises w'ao will not be
content with other people's eyes, but
will dare to look for himself, and he
snay perhaps, without abandoning Jap
anese methods, get nearer to nature
and start a renaissance in Japanese
art. The Japanese treatment of land
scape is not more conventional that of
Claude or David Cox, or than the short
hand of our pencil sketches, but it re
cords facts in a different way.
The everlasting question in art Is the
imitation of nature; it has never been
carried farther in certain directions
than by Millais and his pre-Raphnelite
brethren, or in others than by Manet,
Monet and the modern French, but no
one can put in everything; look at a
simple bunch of leaves in sunlight
against a wall, and think how long It
would take to really imitate all their
complexities of form, color, and light
and shade; some facts can only be given
by ignoring others, and the question
what Is the Important thing which must
. be insisted on is the personal affair of
each individual artist in every country
where art is unfettered and alive. But
in Japanese, as in Byzantine and other
eastern arts, this question is still de
cided by the practice of past genera
tions, and it will take all the vitality
of a strong man to infuse new life into
It without destroying its many ex
quisite qualities. Perhaps when Jap
anese artists absorb its spirit instead
of merely trying to imitate its methods,
western art may help in the direction
of freedom; at present I fear that its
influence has done more harm than
good. The people are so quick to recog
nize tbe meaning of a few lines, and to
understand the poetic idea which they
suggest, that it is a wonder the artists
ever learned to draw at all; t-hey might
bave been content with symlxils, for a
few lines are enough to convey all the
poetry that is associated in their minds
with any of the well-'known art mo
tives. ; NEW USES FOR TURF.
l la Now Blade Into Paper, and Ala
Into Cloth,
i Paper is being manufactured from
straw, wood, corn ntalks and innumer
able other articles. Ivcw M. .Beau
mont, a Frenchman, comes forward and
proposes to employ turf in the manu
facture of fabrics, and tlu.-, too, with
out previous spinning. Among the
methods said to be practical for this
purpose, one consists in taking turf ob
tained and prepared by any convenient
process, and of a staote of fiber suitable
for working, and twisting it cither by
roving or rolling, so as to give it the
appearance of a coarse cord, and this
rove 1b afterward woven so as to form
a fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing clotb, etc.
Another method consists in forming
with the fibers of turf a sort of wad-
iing of any thickness whatever,
adapted to the kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it so as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; thisquilting firmly unites
tbe constituent fibers of the wadding,
converting the latter into a true cloth,
which is both thick and flexible, and
adapted for nse in tbe manufacture of
mrt of all kinds, wrappers, etc
A New Eldorado.
The newest of western mining camps.
the Cochiti camp, in New Mexico, lies
near the ancient Indian village of that
name on the west bank of the Rio
Grande, southwest from Santa Fe.
The mines lie in ledges which cross at
right angles the walls of three can'
yons, the Cochiti, the Pino and the
Peralta. Some of the ores already
taken ont there are very rich, and, if
the claims as to their abundance are
verified in tbe continued working,
Cochiti will prove one of the great
gold-bearing districts of the United
States. At the mouth of the Pino, the
central canyon of the three, the hum
ming, brand-new town of Allerton is
situated. Two smaller town sites,
Kent City and Eagle, bave been laid
off, about six miles to the east and tc
the west, respectively. A feW frame
and more log bouses are interspersed
among the tents which constitute the
greater part of tbe residence and busi
ness stractnres of tbe camp, in which
about two thousand people abide.
Saloons and gambling and dance houses
are plentiful and busy, and even the
"old timer, ' with memories of Dead
wood and Leadville, admits that tbe
Cochiti has generally tbe symptoms: of
booming camp.
