LANCASTER, DECEMBER SH, 1888.
The XhitlMlppI lUrrers.
It Las been a long time since we hare
J al the harrowing tale of the burning of
H-MlsslBsippl river steamboat; and new
irebave two together. The river beat
scat born te be burned as surely as the
sparks fly. The picking of cotton close te
the fires of lira beat puts it constantly
In peril; and at this season, when
ths beats hare a'l the cotton cargo they
Can carry, the passenger who beards tbem
takes his life in bis hand. Doubtless
there Is great vigilance used in watching
.sgaicst fire; and te this only can the
comparative infrequency of disaster of
late be attributed.
The passengers en these beats that have
just been burned, had every chance that
pasrengers en cotton ladened Mississippi
beats can have, te escape destruction ;
and that is shown te be hardly arty cbance
at nil. The fires were discovered
immediately, and the beats were
promptly beaded for the shore, which
they reached ; but these in the rear of the
beat were cut off from the shore by tbe
fl imes and were compelled te threw them
selves into the water. There wasltlie
Bime situation in both cases and
It is the situation that always
attends such disasters. It would seem
possible te provide against it by car
lying life caving rafts. Legislation Is
evidently needed te protect thollfe of the
Mississippi traveler. One would think
that no sensible person would beard the
baits under present conditions mid with
the knowledge that a fire is at nny
Moment liable te occur, and that if it
does the beat will be consumed in a
moment and with almost certain less of.
life.
Want te liny a War.
The bcllgerent Bplrlt of the press nnd
the firm position of our government in its
foreign dealings might excuse the bold beld
neis of the observation that this
heillhy young nation is beginning te feel
Hi eats. Mr. Oatcs, of Alabama, has
alie Icen felt. Ha arofe in the Heuse
during the debate en the canal bill and
remarked that he thought n Bmall nud
cheap war wenld Iw a geed thing te get.
That was the substance of what he said
though he referred te the purchase
In a manner less nbrtipt. The
report says that Mr. Oatcs did
- "Teet tldnk the Nicaragua cnterprlse
would involve the nation In war, but he
merely seized the opportunity te ventilate
bis views en the matter and began with
the assertion that "nothing but a foreign
war would ever completely eradicate
Bectienalism ; and he exelalmed, "If it
bad no ether beneficial result, bucIi a war,
if it was net a great and expensive one,
would be worth the outlay." Mr. Her
tort, also of Alabama, coincided with Mr.
Oites. There is nothing very novel in
this view of war except the buslutsa-llke
condition of the bIzq and coat of the
1-ixury. Ne one can tell hew great
or expensive it war may be, nnd
te act as a destroyer of scctlon scctlen
a'hm, n foreign war would liave
te ba of alarming size. It might
for example be doubted whether a
war about Canada which Involved the
bombardment of .Bosten, New Yerk, aud
perhaps the Jake cities, or the collection
of ship leads of money from them, would
Btimulate a kindly feeling in these cities
towards Alabama, whose growing Indus
tries would be greatly encouraged. Jitit
if this first act of the drama was followed
by a great and expensive series of opera
tions by sea and land, se that the whole
strength of the nation would be stag
gered by the burden, then sectionalism
would surely be stilled. Sectionalism
can be removed by war, but it is a pain
f ill, dangerous aud exhausting operation,
and the condition of the patient is by no
means se desperate as te j ustify the con
sideration in Congress of that alternative.
Troubles of Zanzibar.
Homebody has discovered a small Hus
slan seltlementen the eastcoastef Africa,
near te the English and German posses
sions, and a ferelgu correspondent at once
produces a rumor that Russia will seen
formally claim it and take a hand in the
grand east African row. Our wooden
cruiser, Swatara, has just been ordered
te pass along that coast with her eight
smooth bore muzzle leading pep guns.
She Is en her way te China and it is hoped
that she will get there. As she passes the
noisy Bomlnlens of the Sultan of Ziuzl
bar she will encounter many a naval
'monster of the fleets of the great powers,
and may even witness the disciplining of
that courageous ruler who appears te
have chosen destruction by foreigner! as
preferable te complete submission te
them. He has just announced that lie
would in future be guided byMoham byMeham
znedan law alone, aud has graphically
explained what he meant, by n wholesale
chopping off of head and the publica
tion of a pregramme including nn exe
cution a day until his stock of cuptive
enemies is exhausted. As Zanzibar is a
bind of wonderful fertility supporting a
large and intensely Mohammedan popula
tion heartily favoring slavery, the sultan
can hard Jy remain in power even by force
of executions if he does net display active
hostility te the operations against the
jslave trade. It must also be noted that
that trade is by no means the only thing
that the war shlp3 are gunning for along
the coast. They want te secure for their
governments control of the shortest and
best route te the trade of the lake region
of Africa, and their gain will be less te
Zanzibar. Her only hope is thai the
conquerors may fall out among them
elves. The Setbuard Ceal l'oel.
The Seaboard Ceal association which
comprises all the tide-water shippers of
Mtumlneus coal, are reported te have
Hetted flve millions et ten? of coal as
the product of next ear. They have
a'ae added te their regulations one that
requires each shipper te pay into the as.
)clatleu twenty cents a ten for every ten
et coal mised as a guarantee that the as as
aesiallcn price will net be undersold by
Jilm. The association is one that we de
set bear a great deal or ; since it Ievei the
dukneas rather than light; but its
operation i is sild te be very sat sat
Jifactery te the parties in it. It
ttadUs the price of coal and en.
ables each member te sell his proportion
ataproperpreCt, 8 3 long as the demand
Is great enough te take the product of all
tbe members of the association, they evi
dently profit by agreeing te stick together
mad keep up prices, It is when the demand
falls eC ir.d the Jemptutien attes te take
a half profit rather than net sell, that
trouble comes; and against, this tbe
twenty cents a ten penalty is directed.
There is no doubt at alt that the law is
violated by the railroads that are inti
mately connected with the coal shippers
in the Seaboard association. The Penn
sylvania railroad escapes the restriction
of tbe inter-state commerce act, by the
fact that it runs the whole distance te
the ceut within the stale. It charges less
for carrying coal te Philadelphia for
shipment than for consumption. The
interestsef the people et the state are sac
ridced te the need of meeting competition
outside the state ; which is a familiar
fact te all its people. In this case there
is however, no justification for it, as the
seacoast shipment rate isanamplecharge
for the service. It is, we believe, 1.25
per ten, which is at the rate of half a
cant per ten per mile et carriage. The
Philadelphia consumer ,ls charged $2.10;
and there is no Justification for this dis
crimination of a state railroad against tbe
'siale.
Tbit Water Power.
We understand from Mr. Kiddle, et
select council, that the water power
owned by the city will net be used for
makirig its electric light, because the
ceuncllmen nre under the belief that
water power is tee unsteady te be util
ized for such purpose. He says that it
never has been used succes3f ully for elec
tric lighting save at Buffalo.
As te which we concelvo that Mr.
Kiddle and the ceuncllmen nre entirely
mistaken. There is no reason apparent
why water power should net be us effec
tive for working an electric plant as for
nny ether; nnd it would tnke n great
deal of experience te make anyone
believe anything se seemingly silly.
And it does net accord with our informa
tion, which is that water power is util
Ized for making electric power wherever
it exists in Buutclent quantity. It Is pos
sible thr,t the power owned by the city en
the Cocstega may net suffice for its
plant ; but it it is sulllclent, there is no
question whatever that it is the power for
it te use te light the city.

J'HiLADaLrau, Wednesday, Dec :, lSiS.
Tlie store was shut tight yes
terday. We and our weary
people kept Christmas with all
the rest.
Dear ! but we were glad of a
whole day ler sleep and rest,
fun and irelic, peace and pleas
ure, after the unprecedented
week of work.
Is there another city in the
world with as many good geed
humored people In it ? Where
did they all come from ?
Never before was the store
se crowded, and at no Christ
mas time was it se comfortable.
The large aisles and uneb
WAKAitAKKR'B
structed walks ; the great stair
ways and geed elevators told
well for us in easing the move
ments of the holiday trade.
There was no such sight in
America as that te be seen
here from the balconies when
the grand march of the people
was going along.
We never before did se
much business. Ask any ques
tion you like as te quantity
dollars, number of clerks, num
ber of customers and the an
swer is the same ; we never be
fore did se much business. The
holiday trade this year eclipses
all ethers that we ever knew of.
Wc believe we never served
the people se well, and we are
sure there were never se few
complaints.
With 4,626 people employed
in the retail business alone, and
numbers of them new te the
business and taken en only for
the busy time ; with everybody
hurrying customers and clerks
oftentimes excited ; with ever
ninety thousand transactions en
several single days, certainly
some mistakes must creep jn,
but we never had se few.
De you realize this state
ment ? It means (with delivery
labels) the handling of ever
half a million documents of
record in a single day. It re
quires twelve persons te make
and complete the record of a
cash sale, and seven persons
and a horse te deliver a pack
age. The fact is the store and its
system is growing better every
day. Yeu can sec it and Jcel
it in the air, and you are saying
se yourselves.
Wc arc taking great pleasure
in the business and arc proud
that Philadelphia has new the
best retail stores in the United
States, and that ours is one of
them.
We wake up again this morn
ing te put all the wheels in mo
tion, and show a stock of goods
se full and complete that really
you cannot see where anything
has been taken out in these
.unparalleled days of business
new behind us.
Seme el our department
heads are already anxious te
tell the " news." This column
will go en with its daily story,
and in the quieter pest-holiday
times will have many an item
worth your reading.
