The nearer the farm and factory nre to each other the greater the home market, and the greater the home mar ket the greater the value of the farm. j Eveky worker at manufacturing In this country consumes over $90 worth of our agricultural produce per year, the English laborer consuming only 54.42 worth. The nearer producer and consumer are brought together the more the profit to the producer, the less the cost to the consumer,and the lesslheproflt to the middleman. Since the cotton Btates are able to sell their great stnplo abroad for gold they are entirely content to have other sections take the risks nndrfffffhgers of unlimited silver coinage at home.

That Is the sort of prac tical statesmanship the people understand and want. The Democratic House shouted It self hoarse over the 1 'gag" rules of the last House, and one of the few bills it has yet passed would, if it became a law, which It never will, gag the press of the country. It is not strange, however, that the Democrats fear the press. Germany has difficulty in placing her loans. The United States could borrow billions at a lower rate than any other cation in the world. This would not have been the case if the Union soldiers had not fought as de terminedly as they did, and then como homo and labored bo patriotically to pay oil the great war de.bt. After three years of investigation, German authorities have placed the responsibility for the disastrous rail way collision of January 10, 1889, at Vaihingen, on the Chief Superin tendent of the station at that point. He has been sentenced to pay all resulting-damages. The Inquiry may have been a trifle slow, but its out come is evidently wholesome.

T was after tho battle of Princeton, in tho year and Wash ington and his little band of patriots hud mado themselves safo In the rugged hills of New Jersey. Soveral miles from whore the Ameri can army lay, secure and jubilant over its recent brilliant victories, ou tho slopo of a wooded blurt overlooking a pleasant stream, stood tho unpreten tious cabin of Mrs. Ewing. She was the widow of Jasper Ewlng, a valiant pntriot killed in the early part of the revolutionary struggles. Here she and her daughter, Rachel, a lovoly girl of eighteen, with rosy cheeks and dark eyes, lived alone, deriving a mea ner livelihood from their few aoros of tillable land below tho bluff. Mrs. Ewlng and Rachel were firm patriots, and, though they mourned deeply over their great loss, their cour age was at too high a nature to yield to despair and condemn tho cause which had deprived them of a protector. There was one in the neighborhood who would gladly have done all in his power to lessen tho trials of tho widow and daughter. That was Charles Rlg ney, whoso father's well-oultlvated fields lay just across the stream from tho Ewlng place. Young Rignoy and Rachel had grown up togethor iroin childhood, and had gone to the same school. Later, this early friendship had ripened into love on Rignoy's side, but Rachel did not reciprocate his feeling. Indeed his pasaion and attention had begun to annoy her considerably, and several times she was on tho point of dismiss ing him in such a way that there "would be no mistaking her real fool ings toward him. But they had been friends so long, and frieuds In those tlraos meant a groat deal to two lonely women. She could not bear the thought of hurting Rigney's feelings. Thoro cauio a time, however, when sho was forced to speak very plainly. Tho gloaming of. a cheorless winter evening was falling over tho woody bluff. Rachel was making her chickens snug for tho night, whon Charles Rtg ney rode up and reined iu before the little rock poultry shed.

A week went by and Rachel Ewlng had nenrly ceased to think of Rigney's throat to have revenge. Ho would surely have enough man hood not to injure two defenseless women; then how could he find an op portunity to harm the young officer in Washington's camp? A cold, stormy day was drawing to a close, as Rachel stood at a window of her mother's cabin and watched the descent of the snoyvflakea. Her thoughts were of Robert Way land, and sho hoped that he and all his brave comrades iu the patriot serv ice were well and comfortable. Suddenly four horsemen galloped through the falling snow and drew rein before iho little rack of fodder where the cow was feeding. It needed no one to toll Rachel Ewlng and her mother that they were British soldiers. Hitching their horses whore they would be as l)ttlo exposed to tho storip as possible, the British troopers strode boldly into the cabin and up to the pleasaut fireplace where a loy burned cheerfully. - incy were coarse-faeeu men, unci their ev aw-.i '0': jyit. i lwarth.

RUMOU3 HEARD BY THE PASS ING REPORTER. NOTES ABOUT OUR TOWN PEOPLE Tho Reoont Reading Deal Affords Plenty Room for Speculation. What 1b Said. About Likely Appointmonta. I saw "Tom" Beddall to-day. Heisnow convalescent and ablo to take short walks. His battle with tho large carbuncle on his neck has pulled him down somewhat. Those who have not nursed carbuncles can form no idea of tho suffering tbey cauBO. They aro dangerous, and sometimes prove fatal. Although "Tom" shows tho effects of his sufferings, ho says ho feels like a new man, which is gonerally the result of a successiul recovery. William Horn, of Urandonville, was a visitor Saturday afternoon. Mr. Horn, who was formerly a popular outside fore man at Indian ltidge colliery, was an in dependent candidate for ro-eluction as Jus tice of the Peace in the recent spring elec tion at Urandonville and defeated his op ponents, V Tho latost rumor concerning the ellect of the Heading del in this locality is thai "Tom" Davies is to be moved higher ; As sistant Postmaster Dongler is to become ticket sgent at the Lehigh depot, in the event of the Heading depot being aban doned ; "Jim" Daniols is to take charge of the railroad police forco at Jersey City; and Max Keese is to become trans-Atlantic representative, with headquarters at Pal estine. Monroo Kehler and "Jim" Grant have a quiet deal. They are said to be basing hopes on appointments as traveling passenger agents for the Rappahannock branch. I. Robbins, of Pottsville, who was in town Saturday, is a hustler. He could now retire lrom businoss with enough to enable enjoyment of a quiet life, but hia ambition and energy debars such a step. I believe Max Reese is tho boat known Hebrew in this region. His place is continually crowded by thoso who voto him "better" than a circus." His fund of jokos, anocdolcs and quaint interjections is inoxhauetible and should your spirits drop low at any time a vUit to his place will build you up again. V It Is reported that there are to be several changes in the P. & R. mine bosships In the districts north and south of the broad mountain. Among tba specific change hinted at is tb restoration of Alonzo Shollenbtrter to this itctios. . I spent an hour tr mors in conversation who one of our Uading physicians and the more I gleaned of the hardships and gratu itous work of tho profession the more I be came tmprened wits tho belief that these people are uenuino humanitarians, They aro subject to the calls of the public at all hjun and tramp through rain and snow ovrr psTementstnd on muddy roads to h"!p the tftlic'ted, and frequently sacrifice fieir own health in the work. Of course tn-y ivre permitted to charge fees, but it irtquentiy happens that their fee system is a unsatisfactory as ths basis system is to th-j miners. Tims and again they are c'ltd upon by families who are unable to keep body and soul together and the fees in such caiei are never collected. Reside this, the physician oftentimes order medi cine on their own responsibility in su h ce.- uf distress, so, tafciag their practice as a Muole, they are not such bad fellows, as some people think they are.
