The presidency of the Pennsylvania
railroad ss a pretty big office. It com
niands a salary pretty nesrly as large as
that of the president of the Lnited
statps. and the incumbent has almost
as many employes as the government
but in spite of that election of Mr
Thompson was an exceedingly quiet af
fair: there were no booms, and the elec
tion of a6ingle constable in the smallest
ward of a city often creates more pertur
bation.
The destruction of the State House at
Harrieburg last week suggests some pos
sibilities. There is laterally millions in
puttiDg up a Staie Capitol or a city hall.
The city hall of Philadelphia was de
signed to cost 4,000,000. It bos so far
cost 20,000,000. and the end is not even
in sight. Whole generations of politi
cians have fattened upon it. The New
York Capitol building at Albany was tl
so designed to cost $5,000,l0O, and it is
still unfinished after thirty years, having
so far cost $23,000,000. The new Capi
tol of Rhode Island started out to cost
l, 500,000, and an additional appropri
ation of $1,675,000 has just been re
quired. The decision of Judge Mcllvaine, in
the Washington county court, regaid
ing gas leases, is one of great import
ance to the owners and lessees of oil and
gas bearing terri'ory. The facts in the
case were these. Ten years ago a nat ural
gas company took a 20-year lease
on a piece of land, drilled a well, and
produced gas. In two years it was ex
hausted and no more wella were drilled.
After allowing the land to lie idle eight
years, the company began to deepen the
original hole, in the hopes of finding
another pocket of gas. The lessor held
that the long abandonment had worked
a forfeiture of the lessee's rights; he
sued for demages and an order restrain
ing the lesse from trespassing on his
laud. The court decided that the lease
holds good and that the lessor has the
right to operate until the expiration of
the lease.
Those who pretend to know say that
much of the apple butter on the market
is made of pumpkins. Raspberry jellies
sold at cheap prices doesn't contain an
iota of the raspbeiry, being largely com
posed of glucose, artificially flavored and
colored. Other fruit jellies, similarly
put up. are similar frauds, unless they
are high-priced goods from a well-known
house. Much of the honey so tempting
ly put up in glass jars is adulterated with
glucose. The so-called cooked or pre
pared vegetables, like peas and beans,
and canned goods, are prepared by be
ing heated and then having salicylic
acid thrown over them to prevent their
turning sour. This kine of acid is very
severe upon the lining of the stomach
and it arrests and retards digestion.
The beautiful green peas known as
"French peas" come from Ohio instead
of France, and being copper colored
they are made aa unwholesome imita
tion. The bulk of the "imported" Lim
berger and Switzer cheese is made in
Winconsin. The cheap table cheese is
made of milk from which the butter
has leen taken, and oils and tallow sub
stituted. It is very hard to get pure
olive oil; equally hard is it to get pure
spices, particularly ground pepper
which is largely mixed with ground
bark. Biking soda is mixed, very bad
ly mixed sometimes, and so are powder
ed sugars and baking powders.
Now that the Capitol building at Har
risburg has been burned down we shall
be told again' and again how far behind
the age and how inadequate it was for
the business transacted in it; and the
legislature will be grandiloquently ad
jured, now that opportunity has ar
rived, to provide for a structure suited
to the wealth, dignity and possible fu
ture puissance of this great common
wealth.
As a matter of fact this is all fudge
and fustian. The old Capitol was well
enough. Hie new Capitol should be so
substantially built as to furnish com
fortable and convenient quarters for the
transaction of the public business by the
Executive and Legislature. Unless we
shall bring about mighty improvement
in the quality and calibre of the men
whom we choose to make and execute
our law?, to provide ornate and costly
housing for them would be grotesque.
The cage should be suited to the bird.
A round sum fixed in advance, for a
Capitol designed in advance of erection,
to be paid for when completed, without
extras, is what the 6tate is entitled to
hive. Bat a capitol projected upon in
definite, expensive Jand extraordinary
plans, correspondent to future possibili
ties rather than immediate serviceable
ncss, is what the people may expect.
And oh, what a job there will be if the
jobbers shall be permitted to arrange
gutters to their likingl i
Senator Daniel has made a point
gainst the arbitration treaty which may
result in arraying the silver senators sol-
dly against its ratification. The point
is that if the United States should adopt
the free coinage of silver while that
treaty was in force. England could put
in her claim for the difference between
the value of principal and interest of
American debts held in England, under
We wish to call the attention of those
American citizens who are making sar- 1
castic and sardonic remarks about the
"return of McKinley prosperity," and
the -'advance courier of prosperity" and
all that sort of thing, says the Harris-
burg Patriot, that they are making a
grave mistake. They should read the
history of the past seven years, not that
they need know everything that is writ
ten in the name of history, to grasp and
realize the fact that McKinley prosperi
ty is here.
Immediately after the passage of the
McKinlev law in 1SW wages began to
j
fall, as they have in many cases since
McKinley's election, 'he contrast to
these be in e waee iocreBSes because of
the operation of the Wilson law. In
1S90 mills began to close, and since the
maior'8 election mills that had never
w
closad before shnt down. When thai
high tariff bill became a law, banks be
gan to fail and much rascality was dis
closed. Since last November there has
been a loDg Drocession of bank failures
and defalcations. When the McKinley
bill was in preparation manufacturers
went to Washington and told congress
men what tariffs they wanted, and these
were placed in the law subsequently en
acted; and this is being done now. Af
ter the enactment of the law, manufac
turers, who got what they wanted in the
way of "protaction to American labor,"
cut down the wages of their employes,
The men now most loudly insistent
upon tariff for the "protection of Amer
ican labor" are the very ones who made
these wage reductions. After the Mc
Kinley bill was passed soup houses
flourished and charitable associations
did a large business; this state of affairs
is again coming into prominence.
There has len only one kind of Mc
Kinley prosperity, and it was misfor
tune to industries and hardsships to
workingmen. The country would rath
er have the fortune it is enjoying under
the Wilson law, with a favorable balance
of trade of $320,000,000. The only
prosperity McKinley can give us is here,
but nobody is enjoying it, and a higher
tariff will not make it more palatable.
The farmers are to be looked after,
says the Pittsburg Post, in the way of
humbugging them. In the occasional
glimpses we got of the progress making
on the new taruf bill we often come
acroo the statement that "the interests
of the agricultural class are to be looked
after," and there will lie a restoration of
the McKinley duties on farm products.
With corn in use as fuel in the
big grain belt and begging for buyers at
12 cents a bushel, what benefit is there
likely to come to the farmer of an in
creased "protective" duty amounting to
50 per cent, instead of the Wilson rate
of 15 per cent? The idea of making the
agricultural class prosperous by tariff
taxes on articles of which we import
none, except for seed purposes, is the
most bald-faced attempt at humbug ever
devised in this country, and we lead the
world in ingenious humbug in politics
and legislation. The farmer wants
wider foreign markets and untaxed n
cessanes of life, so that he will not be
continually selling in the cheapest mar
ket and buying in the dearest, thus
burning the candle at both ends.
American agriculture is depressed be
cause it has been subjected to such bur-
Hens lor the last 30 years. It is to le
said, however, that when it comes to vo
ting the farmer rather enjoys being
humbugged.
It is true we import a large class of ag
ricultural products, but they are suchar
tides as are not produced in this coun
try at all, or not in sutlicient amounts to
meet the demands for consumption. In
1S96 the excess of agricultural exports
over imports was 190,000,000. Of the
imports sugar, tea and coffee aggregated
nearly $200,000,000 of the total. We
imported but $2,7S0,000 of breadstuffs,
while we exported $141,350,000 and yet
our wise legislators propose a big tax on
the importation of breadstuffs as a meas
ure of relief to the farmers. Our exports
of cotton and cottonseed oil during the
same time was $190,000,000. Would
a duty on wheat and corn help the
northern farmer, or a tax on cotton aid
the southern farmer? These figures
sh ow how dependent our crops of bread
stuffs and cotton are upon a foreign
market.
A war for business is being waged
with savage competition between the
Carnegie Steel company, of Tittsburg,
and the Illinois Steel company, of Cui
gago. The fight began in Chicago on
Monday after the break of the steel pool,
when the Illinois concern charged that
the Pittsburg firm was invading its ter
ritory and was shading prices. To meet
the competition it met the prices offered
by the Carnegie company's agents, and
the latter came back with still lower
prices. The railroad buyers played the
two firms until open quotations were

Washington Letter.
Washington, February 5th, 1S97.
The scheme to keep Stuator-elect Kh
ney of Delaware, out of his seat, wrnch
was concocted by "Little Billee" Chand
ler and other Republicans of his ilk, is
in a fair way to fall through. Al
though the senate committee on elec
tions is controlled by Republicans it
has refused to be a party to this
scheme to the extent of reopening the
claim of Du Pont to the sent, and it is
not btlievtd that the llin.sy claim of
Gas Addicks will be se.iously con
sidered by the committee at all A Re
publican senator said to day thai ne
thought Kenney's credential were all

Nobody seems to have any idea that
the amended arbitration treaty with En
eland, which has been favorably rejwrt-
i.-. tho senate, will be acted upon at
iLis session. In fact, its friends would
be afraid to force a vote at this time
lest it should result in rejection of the
treaty.
One of the legacies of the Harrison
administration is a treaty that binds the
United States to pay $6,000 a year to
wards the support of a monarchy and an
almighty poor specimen of monarchy
at that: The treaty in question was
made with Germany and England and
the money goes to pay the expenses of
the semi-savage King of bamoa. A
year or so ago President Cleveland re
commended legislation looking towards
the abrogation of tois treaty, and each
year there has beeu a protest made when
the house reached the item of the diplu
malic and consular appropriation bill
carrving that $0,000. This week when
the item was reached Representative
McMillin moved that it be struck out.
because he did not think it right that
our people should be contributing mon
ey to the support of a monarchy any
where and under any circumstances, but
his motion was voted down, not because
a majority of the house favored the ap
propriation but because they considered
that as long as the treaty is allowed to
stand we are in honor bound to pay our
share of the money.
General Bradlev T. Johnson, who was
recently in Cuba is now in Washinglon
and doing some very plain talking. For
instance he said: The Cubans will
surely succeed unless the policies of the
administration in aiding Spain cru hes
hope out of the Cubans. Every power,
the army, the navy, the judiciary, of
this great government is now in active
operation to aid Spain and crush the re
bellion. Every power will be exerted
during the next administration to the
same end. The money power demands
peace, quiet, rest; but behind it all is the
irresistible, omnipotent, all-prevailing
force of manifest destiny which controls
history, directs the ages, and is also-
lutely beyond and above the force of onp
generation, and controls them all. In
this case, the will, the hope, the euthu-
siusni of the American people over
whelms Wall street and the peace of the
money-changers, and will have free Cu
ba."

inai are very wining to come into me
fold once more. They realize that they
have been made the victims of a big
confidence game.
The dismissal for the second time of a
silver Democrat from the treasury de
partment may result in a scandal. The
man dismissed is Mr. William E Ryan,
an expert accountant, who was a candi
date forcongress in the Rochester (N. Y.)
district last November. Mr. Ryan wa
first dismissed the da' after election.
On uecemoer na he secured a re-ap-
pointmen tit a reduced salary, under a
civil service certificate. He recently
served notice of his intention ti content
the election in his congressional district,
on the ground that the use of the Myers
Ballot Machine was illegal, and this week
he was again dismissed. It is said he
was given a hiut by a person in author
ity that it would not he wise for him to
make a contest, and he thinks he now
knows why.
If Senator Chandler can tell in the
speech he has promised to make on his
resolution declaring it to be the sense of
the senate that this country should not
permanently accept the single gold stand
ard, but should strive to have gold and
silver put on the same term by the free
coinage of both, any other reason for the
adoption of the resolution than the bam
boozling of silver Republicans into the
belief that their party is going to do
something for silver the silver majority
in the senate will doubtless vote to adopt
his resolution, although they and every
one else know that it would le meaning

Copyrighted.l
Havana, Feb. 10. The various re
ports aud statements of Captain Gen
eral Weyler announcing the pacification
of the province of Piiiar del Uio and the
almost complete disappearance of the
insurgents in that part of the island,
are far from being liorne out by facts.
As intimated in these dispatches when
the Spanish commander made the re
marks cited, if Pinar del Ric was as
quiet as he alleged it to be what has be
come of the arms, horses, amuiiitiou.
stores, etc., of the 7,000 men whom he
admitted were under arms there.
As a matter of fact, the insurgent
forces in Pinar del Rio seem letter off,
more thoroughly equipped aud disci-?
plined than at any previous stage of tho
campaign. In support of this assertion
statements have lieen gathered from
the most reliable sources, showing there
are fi.ooo men in the field.
In addition to these forces i3 a strong
body of insurgents, which seems to have
mysteriously disapix-ared from the
neighborhood of Havana. The where
abouts of this force is causing the Span
ish staff considerable anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents intU
mate that a big surprise is being pre.
pared for Captain General Weyler when
he tries to return to Ilavauu,
On Feb. 1 the insurgents destroyed
by dynamite a culvert lietween Taco
and liacanagna, Pinar del Rio, and
wrecked a train. The culvert was to
tally destroyed, and one passenger on
the train wa killed. The engineer,
two firemen, a captain of the artillery
volunteers, Suarez and rive soldiers of
the batallion of Asturiaa were seriously
wounded ; two of them have since died
of the injuries thus received.
Advices from Remedios say that Gen
eral Maximo Gomez has removed from
the district of Santo Spiritus to La
Siguauea, which canned rumors to b
circulated of a probable conference l-e-tween
tho generals and eventually of
tke conclusion of peace. Hut those re

A number of Spanish generals will
