frm Alaska.
(Sovebsob Mortos has signed the bill
authorizing New York city to epend

weary wanderers into them.
A rise in the price of steel shows the
trust is getting together. It appears
they didn's get enough when each man

The Madrid correspondent of theLon
dou .V-imW says that the new cham

afc be a very strong protectionist body.
T..C- hi,;.-, wifilature has passed the

It provides that whoever sells cigarettes
to a person under 1G years shall, for the

Congressman Van Voorhis, of Ohio,
has reported to the house from the
bauking and currency committee a bill
to permit the organization of national
banks with a capital on not less than
20.000 in cities of four thousand in-
habitauU. Under existing law the min
imum capital stock required for the oi-
gauialiou of a national bauk is 50,
000. John O. Carlisle, of Kentucky, for
president aud an "honest dollar" for a
platform would make a candidate and a
platform that Democracy could tie to
and before election time would come the
busine.8 interests of the county would
be gravitating in the same direction.
This is not a good year for a straddling
candidate nor a straddling platform and
the people will view with suspicion any
candidate whose record on this point is
not an open book.
Senator Palmer, of Illinois declares:
"The congress of the United States finds
it an easy matter to attend to the affairs
of other nations, but has shown itself
utterly incompetent to deal with our do
mestic affairs. The grave question of a
dtticiency in the public revenues and a
cripple currency are pressing upon us
for solution, and we acknowledge our
inability to master them, but we can
reach out and settle the affairs of other
governments with ease and dispatch.1
The commissioners of Chester and
Itelaware counties jointly decided a few
days ago not to enforce the compulsory
education law for this year. The Ches
ter oounty board a few weeks ago pre
pared to apply it, but when the question
as to whether the county or districts
were liable arose, not seeing their way
clear in the matter, the commissioners
decided to ignore the act for this year,
or until something definite could be de
cided upon regarding payments for the
taking of the census.
"There appears to be a great demand
in England for California redwood, and
while in California the wood is very com
mon and is used for building fences and
barns, in England it commands a fancy
price. Last week a ship took aboard at
Oakland a cargo of more than 1,000,-
000 feet of redwood, and another ship
was preparing to take on an even larger
load. The shipments were a novelty
and a speculation, and if they bring
good returns the California lumbermen
w ill have a new avenue of profit opened
to them.
Rrirefestative Alprich, of Illi
nois, thinks that General Grosven-
or's weekly bulletins of McKinley's gains
can have but one purpose, "and that is
to stiffen up the McKinley followers,
who must see that the tide is beginning to
turu." Other Republicans entertain the
same suspicion, but do not care to venti
late it at this time. ' These faithful tide-
watchers are numbered by the tens of
thousands. Let the tide drop by so
much as an inch, and the fences would
be deopulated by a mighty and spon
taueous rush.
The following information may be of
benefit to those who are misled by the
ieuus fatuus of unclaimed estates.
Mr. Edward Downes, United States con
sul at Amsterdam writes: "I niost re
spectfully request that our countrymen
be warned anew against the perfect folly
of spending time or .money towards the
collection of what are known as "Old
Dutch Estates." "These estates do not
ex 'wt. The Bank of Holland, in which
the unclaimed millions are alleged to be
deposited, does not exist. Careful in
vestigation induces the belief that these
estates originated in the brain of some
rascally speculator, who, imposing on
human credulity, found 'many victims
aad fleecing them most profitably."
Farmers in the region about Fresno,
Cal., are almost in despair because of
the plague of rabbits. Although many
thousands of the animals have been
killed lately in one way or another, by
poison, by shooting, and in rabbit drives,
they do not appear to decrease in num-
uers. inousanas nave been snot in a
day, but they come in from the surround
ing uncultivated regions to feast on the
grain fields in increasing numbers. It is
tst ai a ted that three jack rabbits will eat
as much grain as one sheep. A big
drive was held in February and many
thousands of rabbits were killed, but a
month later it was estimated there were
100,000 on the same ground. Another
drive was held the last of March, but

It is not becor ig, ys the Philadel
philadelpbia Jit rd, in either of the
great parties in lbs Ur: ted States, con
sidering the way in which they have
heretofore straddled the silver question,
and considering the existent division in
their ranks as to the proper solution of
our financial difficulties, to throw stones.
The Republican party, ad the author of
the baneful greenback legislation, as
jointly responsible with the Democrats
for the Bland-Allison Silver Coinage
law, and as wholly responsible for the
mischievous Sherman Silver Purchasing
act, lives in an especially fragile glass
bouse. Acts speak louder than wro-ds.
The Republican House of . Representa
tives when it refused to pass a law giv
ing the treasury the right to issue gold
bonds for the purpose of borrowing gold
made a record as to sound money which
do platform declaration at St Louis can
obscure. The frantic vffort which party
organs are making to push the currency
question into the background and to re
new tariff agitation betrays a fear on
the part of the Republican leaders to
meet the real issue in manly fashion.

out any seesawing, equivocation or hair

to see a sound money man put on a
sound money platform both at St. Louis
and at Chicago. The real friends of the
gold standard should bend all their en
ergies to the task of educating and en
couraging both parties so that the mon
ey issue, which is in fact a commercial
and not a political question, shall be defi
nitely disposed of after the manner
which the honor of the nation demands.
The alarmists who are warning the
American people against the cheap man
ufacturers and cheap labor of Japan,
says the Philadelphia Reconl, are very
careful to deal in generalities. They
tell us that labor is cheap; that men and
women work for ten cents a day. and
that their wages are paid in silver; but
they omit to state, what is the fact, that
in all manufacturing operations in Ja
pan it takes from ten to twenty opera
tives to accomplish the work of one
American workman.
The captain of a vessel lately unladen
at Philadelphia said that, having ob
tained permission to take on coal at a
Japanese port not usually visited by
foreign craft, he was astonished to find
that when the coal barges were brought
alongside his vessel five hundred men.
women and children were set at work,
in gangs of fifty, to transfer the coal by
the most primitive meaDS passing small
basketfuls from band to hand. The full
baskets were bandied by the stronger
workmen, and the empty ones were
passed back to be refilled by the child
ren. Their factories, swarming with
cheap labor, are managed in much the
same way.
The Japanese will never become dan
gerous competitors until they shall use
our labor-saving machinery and pay
high wages. It is the nation that pays
the highest wage rates that is an always
dangerous competitor
A few days ago the United States sen
ate passed 75 private pension bills in CO
minutes There has been a great flood
of private bills of this character at this
session. The general pension laws meet
almost every deserving case; and a pri
vate bill generally indicates that the ap
plicant has been rejected by the pension
office authorities as not coming under
existing laws, which were made to cover
almost every rightful case. A tendency
is noted these days for making liberal
allowances by private bills in the way of
pensions for the families of deceased of
ficers. They are given' much I more by
these bills than th a regular statutory al
lowance, and much more than goes to
the widows of private soldiers who died
in the service or fell in the battle. It is
impossible that the senate in passing 75
of these bills in 60 minutes should give
them the investigation and consider
tion that should be exercised in votmg
away the people's money. Some of the
cases, no doubt, are meritorious. Oth
ers are not, but rest for success on the
work and influence of the member
championing the bill. Of course there
is the usual log rolling in this sort of
special legislation.
Professor V. P. Pratt and Hugh
YYightman, the Electro-therapeutist, and
the bacteriologist of Bennett Medical
College of Chicago, claim to have prac
tically proved within the last week that
epidemics will be impossible in the fu
ture. They claim 'that Asiatic cholera
is no more to be feared than earache and
that diptheria, glanders and typhoid
must yield to the new remedy, the
Koentgen ray. arious germs were
grown in tubes in proper media. Mag
netic lines of force from the Crook es
tube were then passed through them.
The application lasted two bouts. The
cholera eerm appears to have been
wiped out entirely.' The diptheria bac
teria have been treated tenderly and fa
vorably, but after eight days have failed
to show the slightest signs of life.
There Las been no activity in the bac
teria of the other classes, and, with cer
tain modifications, the doctors are now
ready to announce that the ray, proper
ly applied, will destroy any form of in
fectious or contagious germs, lnis is
indorsed by the college faculty.
Intek-etate emigration still continues
to a considerable extent, and there ia
constant morement of dissatisfied farm
ers from one region to another. I.ast
week forty families moved from the
country about Delphi, Ind., out to
North Dakota. At the sametime fami
lies were moving from North Dakota to
the south, and the northwestern papers
print frequent paragraphs telling of per
sons leaving that region and of other
persons moving there. The circum
stances appear odd, but they seem only
to show that no one place ia everybody's
paradise, despite the eloquence of the
land boomers.

that Ouav and Piatt have gone over to
McKinley they know that it will be too
late for them to get any concessions tor
themselves as with th s jpport of l. uay and
Piatt McKinley's nomination would be
assured aud they would be left out in
the cold for not having guessed right.
All of which is nuts for the Democrats-
President Cleveland must find the nu
merous attempts that are daily made by
newspaper men anxious' to earn their
salaries to tell what he is going to do about
those Cuban resolutions, sent to him
this week, a source of const mt amuse
ment, and so numerous are the stories
concocted that it will be almost impossi
ble for the president to do anything that
will miss all the theories which have
been put forth. Somebody will doubt
less be able to6ay "I told you so," but
t will not be because they had advance
information. All that is known is that
the president is considering to determine
whether there is any thing in the situa
tion to call for any action on his part.
The opinion of one of . Pennsylvania s
practical steel makers, who is at present
in Washington, on McKinleyism is en
titled to weight. This gentleman, Mr.
James Andrews, of Allegheny, said:
The necessity of a high protective tar
iff seems to have gone by, for in many
lines we have reached a point of cheap
ness in production that approximates
the cost of production in any of the
European countries. Take steel, for in
stance. I remember when, as an ap
prentice, 1 was employed iu the first
plant that smelted steel west of the All-
eghenies and that it sold for 44 cents a
pound. Now it is made for oue cent a
pound, owing to the marvelous improve
ments in machinery and better trans
portation facilities. We have much the
advantage ef Eugland, for oie lie near
the surface and can le mined at a tri
lling expense, whereas they have to go
to great depths for their ores and fuel.
We can bnug the Lake Superior ores to
the smelters of Pennsylvania in vast
quantities, aud water transportation is
verv low. such natural advantages are
not enjoyed by any competitor, and
hence in the making of steel we stand
on an equal footing with all the world.
According to Senator Smith, of N. J.
the Democrats of that state have no
candidate to urge lefore the Chicago
convention, and are perfectly willing to
support the man chosen by ti e cocven
tion. Mr. Smith thinks the Democrats
can carry the state this year .if no mis
take is made in the platform adopted at
Chicago, no matter who heads the pres
idential ticket.
The man who thinks that Senator Gor
man does not still wield a powerful in
fluence in the senate is not a close oh
server. Only this week Mr. Gorman
got up and made a few remarks against
the idea of abolishing postmasters at
county postcrhCFS which are in the vi
cinity of large cities and placing the
offices under clerks from the city offices-
Note the resu.t. The senate added an
amendment to the postotlice appropria
tiou bill limiting the postmasters who
may be abolished to those who preside
over postoflices which are within five
miles of the corporate limits of cities
As a rule Democrats in congress do
not seriously regard the stories concern
ing Senator Tillman's candidacy for the,
Democratic presidential nomination
which his departure to make some
speeches in the west have given circula
tion, buf. personal friends of the gentle
men Bay mat ne reawy intends to be a
candidate if the silver men control the
Chicago convention. Well, anybody
can be a candidate, but getting votes
enough to nominate is quite another
thing. Many Democrats in congress
think that Senator Tillman's declaration
of his intention to bolt the Chicago con
vention if it does not adopt a platform
in accordance with his views is of itself
enough to bar him from receiving any
honors at the hands of that convention.

Mitchell, Ind., April 13 Five men
were instantly killed and two others fa
tally injured in a bridge accident half a
mile from Bedford junction, on the Belt
railroad , this morning. The train
broke through a trestle. The dead are:
Charles Ogden. conductor; Sherman Car
penter, fireman; Warren Leonard, ol
Warren, Ky.: Masterson and Bevius, la
borers. Charles Davis and Engineer
Menzer were so badly crushed they can
LOt recover.
Ttie train consisted of an engine and
two gravel cars and were running at
high speed. In passing over what is
known as the Standard trestle the last
span collapsed. The locomotive was at
that time beyond the trestle, and had it
not been pulled from the track by the
weight or the cars Itehind it the men on
the engine would have escaped. As it
was, the two cars went down with the
trestle into a ditch 75 feet deep, and the
engine, pulled backward in spite of the
momentum of the train, rolled over and
plunged down an embankment 75 feet
high.
All the meu who were on the train
were employes ou the road and weie en
gaged in ballasting the track with gravel
between Mitchell and Bedford. The
breaking of the trestle will blockade the
road for several days.
Mial In Morro Castle.
Philadelphia, April 13. There is said
to be reason for believing that some if
not all the crew of the old Philadelphia
tug Mascot, which has been missing
since November last, may have been
shot in Morro Castle, the military jail,
on the eas ern end of Cuba. The Mas
cot sailed from Baltimore for Port of

has not been spoken since.
Captain McGregor comma nded the
tug, which was an ordinary river tow-
boat, but instead of the crew of eight
such vessel would usually carry, the
Mascot is said to have cleared with about
40 men on board. It is known that
some shipwrecked sailors were picked up
on the Cuban coast some time ago and
imprisoned by order of Gen. Pando.
