In a message to then, he said he hesitated before signing th. resolution requiring the Inter-Stat- Commerce Commission to investigate the railroads accused of trying to monopolize the coal indnstry of the country and of the oil. industry in it, relation to the railroads because, t< him, tie resolution appeared to bsar the marks of insincerity. The chief matk of insincerity was the failure to give tho commission leg::l power' to compel thf attendance oi witnesses; and no appropriation wat carried by the resolution to p*y the ex penses of the investigation. Another is that the Department, of Commerce and Labor has long been engaged in an in vestigation of the oil and anthracite in • dnstries, and a preliminary repoit thereon will soon be sent to Congress. He also called attention to the fact thai if the commission, now busy with it legitimate busiuess, compels any testimony on the subject those giving testimony will thereby bo granted im munity from criminal prosecution. In view of those facts the President asked the lawmakers to given close consideration to the subject, so that they may come to a conclusion th- 1 will really represent their desires. He asked "for legislation that will make the desires of Congress clear, whether commission is to have the power to compel the attendance of witnesses aud also to make aa allovrnuQe of. gay. $50,000 for tho payment of expanses. The Senate put the Statehood propo sition in very different fonn in the final voting last Friday, by striking ont nil all references to the nnion and admis sion of Arizona and New Mexico am' making the measure provide exclusively fc>r the creation of a state ont of Okla homa and the Indian Territory. Tne House passed 40S p; ivate pension bil ?, fcaat day. Justice 11. B. Brown of the U. S. Supreme Court "will retire on the a::e - limit soon. Senator Knox don't wait: the place, and Sec'y Tift is hesitating as he would like to be President. FOI/ITICAJj. Lincoln Stefllns, in his article of last Sunday, predicts the formation of two now parties—one in the interest of the trusts and corporations and other mon eyed interests; and the other inthecoai mon or general interest. It is interesting for Pennsylvania to observe that Chicago has just had a trial of the new Illinois primary law The primaries held there a few days ago were for frhe nomination of can didates for Aldermen to be voted on at the April city election. The reports in dicate that its outcome goes far to ward bearing out the claim of its sup porters, although it is worth while not ing that initial tests are frequently snr rounded by rose colored tints. However, it is interesting that an nil usually heavy vote was polled by both parties under conditions which preveut * ed the by enthusiastic worker.-- of voting at the primaries of both. Of the candidates recommended by the Municipal Voters' League all but two were successful The issue was on a question likely to call into activity the full force of practical politics, being the raising of the license fee for saloons from S9OO to SIOOO, against which the saloons rallied all the strength they could command. There were seventeen contests and the reform element-, or those recommended by that element, won in twelve cases. SOME U. S. Maislialls were killed by outlaws in Indian Territory, List week | At a hearing before the Inter.-Ute Commerce Commission at Cincinnati last Saturday, the general freight of the Big Four li. R. was reported as testifying as follows: "We carried a shipment of steel from Pittsburg to Kansas City • lust year at less than tariff " "Did you pay a rebate ;" "Yes, sir." "How did you pay this rebate, by cash, cheek, under-billing, dam claim, commission, or how?" "We gave them the money." The Street Car Fig-lst, Agent Goehring, of the s Butler & Harmony Street Railway company an- : nouncetl last week that his company I had won its fi«Lt before the State De partment at Harrisburg with the! Butler Pussenger Railway company, ; for entrance in Butler. The Butler & Harmony company's chftrter brought it to th« "Worn limits of Butler b» oogh. and tb town coun cil granted i franchise, which permitted it to leach Main str- i ovu Wa t«r and Wayne «tre< ,r « Before thN ordinance wis y .ssed th Bn'ar Pas seoger Railway company, which last December became the property <f stockholders of tho Pittsburg & Butler Passenger R.iihvuy Company, tiled ex tensions of its cliaiter covering the oi»lv other street by which the Builer & Harmony pom puny coril ! enfrer the , town other than tiie three mentioned, and after it was p:;-s< 1 the Butter Passenger Railway company objected to an extension to the Builer & Harmony company on the grouud that the Butler company was already occupying these streets under its original charter. The Butler & Hari'i any company an swered that the rijrlt* of the tinrl r company had been forfeited to the por tions of these streets asked for, by not laying tracks within two year* as pro vided in the franeh. e, and that th>j por tions asked for in the petition of the But'er & Harmony company did not Conflict at that point with the pr> perty Of the Bntler company. The Xts •• liy partment decidKi ttie claims of the Bntler & Harmony company to be good. A Tot mfTeecnoc. Tbo longstanding contract K-twein the valne of property when it is for sake and when it is to be taxed is based on human nature. Everyone wishe to sell his property for as ranch aa he thinks he can get aud at least a large share of them wr.nt to yet their taxes down to the lowest possible notch. But it seeu. - to have been reserved for a corporation to furnish the most exigent example of this common failing The New York Central railroad owus a franchise and tracks on Eleventh ave nue and connecting streets in New ik City. It h;is be en proposed to remove tracks and the corporation b.v* uetffied the city that the pried of the franchise is -J100,000.000. But nuuei the franchise tax law in New York n:i franchises must pay taxes like real f'Stnte. on their valne. The Board of Tav Comaii ioners last yen* astcs- I this very franch se ut th vane • t ■§l 480,0i.0, itud the railroad is still con u-saing tne assessment on the gron. it that it is exce.-sive. In other words, the corporation claims that its property when a sa ; e is contem plated is worth more than sixty tunes its just valne for taxation. If this does not entitle it to the prize it woald be in teractive to hear from the corporation hat can beat it. —D spatch. Whore License Money Goes.

Twenty dollars of each license goes to -he state, sl3 of each license goes to the county, and the balance goes to the re | spective townships. The Corroboration of Experi ence. When the United States Government took charge of the Panama canal it w-'s s imewhat lightly given out that it would show the world a new and nu preeedentedly efficient way to prosecute great public undertakings. A mental review of the middlings, strivings aud shifts that make up the record of pro _-ri -a in the task can hardly fail to lend strong corroboration to the declaration ot John F. Wallace that the way to get the canal dng is to make a contract with firms or syndicates to do tlie woik, and confine the function of the Govern ment to polic? and sanitary supervision of the canal strip, and to seeing that the woik is performed according to the contract. The Government is fairly well equip ped for performing the duty of super vision aud inspection if transactions of ! the Carter stripe are vigilantly exclud -d. The spectacle of Carter in prison wll greatly aid that exclusion. Bur the United States 'is not equipped for arTyitig on a vast bn-iness undertak ing. especially when all important quest ions muse be decided by an authority 2,000 miles from the scene of action aud uot conversant with practical conditions from which the problems arise. More s'rong hiut that even so eartn st a re f irmi-r as President Roosjv<»lc finds it difficult to overcome the methods of political selection that do little to secure tae most efficient men for carryiug on the work. The experience of the past year or t r o will not need to continue very tuach longer to put the theory of Gov ernment prosecution of public works without contracts in the light of whs r old Governor Anen of Ohio used to de S'-ribe as "a d d barren ideality."— Dispatch.

A DISPA'IICH from Cape Town, South Africa, dated last Saturday sa ; d: ' Re ports received from Southern Nigeria give an account of the murder by na- of rme of the British officers of the protectorate. It appears that D-. Srewart, medical officer at Oworri an out-station, was bicycling along the road near the station and losing his way wenl on into what w s re Ily an unfriendly country. At any rati# foi two or three days no ue.vsof his where at) lUts conid be received, until ut last a friendly native came in with the" in formation that Dr. Stewart Had been caught by the Ahires, a pow—ful race WHO occupy most of the hint i:.nd.

CATCHING TURTLES. M<"t!io!ln 1 seJ l»r the ris'ierincn of the Trojilca. Turtles are always captured at night and usually on moonlight ones. This is tho time they go on the shore to lay their eggs. They select a smooth, sandy beach, dig holes iu tl ■ sand, de posit their eggs there and leave them to bo hatched by the heat of the sand. When the turtles are on shore for thi. purpose hunters come upon them, and they are easily overtaken, for turtle are slow movers. The bun'- rs have not a'very strenuous undertaking. All that is neee ry to be done is to turn the turtles on their backs and leave them until the next day, when they are removed. Another more curious way of catch ing turtles is by fishing by the remora. a fish found in tho tropical waters. The popular name of this fi. h and the one by which the children of those coun tries call them Is the sucking lish. This name is given to them on account of a disk on their heads, by which they can attach then: elves to any smooth sur face, like the side of a shark, a ship or the ..hell of a turtle. This Ji k is like the soft leather "suckers" that are popular with schoolboys. When this fish has once attached himself to any thing you can pull him to pieces rather than force him to release liis hold. Turtle hunters go in boats and carry several of tl.e-e iv:r. >ra ; iu tubs. \\ lien they see a turtle and get near him the sucixr is sent after him. He is held by the ring on his tail, which In turn is attached by a stout cord. Soon the fish'is securely fastened to the shell of tho turtle, and .turtle and fish are hauled into the boat together. Once in the air the rymora loosens his hold and is dropi .d back into the tub to rest uiilii another turtle is sighted.—Wash ington .Star. Govern Yourself. Men and women often say they can't govern themselves. That is simply ad mitting they have defects of character which are their masters. They ought to :e,ake effort and see If .they are not c." n.
