BECAUSE the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will not assist him in raising coal prices MeLeod has issued instruc tions that none of the Pennsy's cars are to he carried over the lines of the Read ing system. This order caused Presi dent Roberts to get a move on, and the collieries that use his road for shipments aro being worked every day as hard as possible to supply the demand. Since the Pennsy's cars cannot go over the lines of the Reading any longer, the most natural thing to be done would be to build the road to all collieries where it can get coal. THE cholera scare has caused a general cleaning up in almost every city and town in the East. This itself, even though the disease does not obtain a foothold in the country, will be a benefit to several of these places. It is gratify ing to know that in none of the smaller towns has there been such prompt com pliance with the requests of the state's sanitary authorities as Freeland gave. The organization of a practical board of health and the appropriation of $59 for disinfectants is more than was done by any borough in tho state, considering size, population and tho necessity for the work. Wealthier towns around us have done nothing yet in this respect. NOT content with bossing the coal operators, railroaders, miners, etc., along its lines, the Reading system is making a partially successful effort to run the newspapers published in towns where the roads enter. About three times a week every editor receives a big bulky letter from the Philadelphia office of the company, containing a printed extract from the Philadelphia Star, the Manufacturer or some other of the com bine's dozen shouters in that city. These extracts are accompanied by a neat little "request" to publish the en closed "news item," which is the name applied to a three-column puff of Me- Leod, an apology for advancing rates, or a glowing account of a victory over some rival. Quite a lot of free advertising is obtained in this way. ONE strong point in the present na tional campaign is the manner in which it has so far been conducted, free from any kind of personal charges against the candidates. It is much better to read an intelligent criticisim of Harrison's or Cleveland's political views than a column or two of lies about their private char-1 actors. The Republican press, with a few exceptions, have treated Cleveland very fair—far different from the way they did in 1884 or 1888, and the course of tho Democratic papers may be seen now in the sympathetic words and articles they publish concerning the serious ill ness of the president's wife. These little things may not seem much in the eyes of those who are continually clamoring to "tear the other fellow out," hut they rebound to the credit of the American people. WHEN Hon. Tom L. Johnson took the notion two years ago to run for congress in the twenty-first Ohio district he had to overcome a big Republican majority, and liis opponent, Theodore E. Burton, then congressman, was a very popular man, but these things could nut daunt him. He made a vigorous contest in every part of the district, taking free trade and the taxation of land values for his platform. The Democratic na tional and state committees implored him to stop talking free trade, but Tom refused to hedge on the issue or hide his principles. He had confidence in the people and knew if his theories were properly presented to them they would be with him. He followed his own plans, and advocated free trade and single tax in such a convincing manner that he was elected, surprising every body but himself. The prospects are that he will be returned without opposi tion this year, as no ono has been found yet to oppose him. This goes to show that candidates for congress need not l>e afraid to cutuc out openly for free trade. CHEAP SUGAR. The Vl*w* of Hon. Owen Scott, a Con ereesman from Illinois. j Tlie following is an extract from the j speech of the Hon. Owen Scott, of Illi nois, in tho national honse of representa tives: Every pound of raw sugar bought, whether produced here or abroad, is I bought by the trust and all the refined { sugar sold passes through their hands and pays tribute to this conscienceless j corporation. In increasing its capital it 1 also provided for $10,000,000 of 0 per ' cent, bonds with which to operate the j business and to silence the competition j of any refinery which might hereafter make it interesting. Not only has tho j Sugar trust succeeded in destroying all j competition, but it has, at tho same i time, prepared the means for |>erpetually j preventing competition. The result of this has been to depress ! the price of ail raw sugar and to largely increase the price of refined. Prior to i this absorption of refineries and destruc tion of competition it was not believed j by any one at all well informed that the Sugar trust or those engaged in refining sugar were not making large profits. On the contrary, there was every evi- j deuce that sugar refining was a most : lucrative business. The present prices of raw sugar, 00 degs. centrifugal, and refined, granulated, have been so [ adjusted by the trust that the net profits are 11.' cents per jwund. The cost of re fining does not exceed at the most five eighths of a cent, and the best equipped refineries can produce it at one-half cent. This changed condition between raw and refined, made possible by the absorption by the trust of the outside refineries, has given them enormously increased profits. There is a net increased profit of five eighth of a cent per pound, or $2.03 per barrel. On a minimum yearly produc tion of 12,1100,000 barrels this amounts to the enormous sum of over $2.1,300,000, or a little more than the amount of tho in creased capital of the trust employed to destroy competition. Experts place the actual value of Sugar trust properties at sitr>,ooo,ooo, so that the rate of profit on aetunl valua tion is a little over 73 per cent. After paying 7 per cent, on $37,500,000 of pre ferred stock and 0 per cent, interest on tho $10,000,000 of bonds the above rate of profit would yield almost 60 per cent, on the common stock. Such enormous profits are only possi ble by giving exclusive and sole control of the market for this commodity, which is a necessity in every household in the land. At the time of the formation of tho trust iu 1887 tho actual value of the establishments taken in was estimated to be about $15,000,000. Additions since and changes made In the plans, iu the opinion of experts, make the property of the trust worth about $35,000,000. The remuiuder of tho $50,1X10,000 capital prior to tho recent increase represents undistributed earnings, good will and plenty of water. To illustrate the wonderful profit that is made by these refiners mention may be made of tho largest—that of Huve meyor & Elder's Sugar Refining com pany, Brooklyn. It is estimated by good authority that the properties and equip ments cost not to exceed $4,000,000. Its capacity is 8,000 barrels per day, giving in one year of 300 days a production of 2,400,000 barrels, or 780,000,000 pounds. Even allowing a net profit of one-half cent per pound, the exact amount of tariff on refined sugar, it will be seen that the annual profit is the enormous sum of $3,000,000, being almost if not quite 100 per cent, on the cost of the works. lti-publlcana In a Nad Way. The Republicans aro saying a good deal about Mr. Cleveland's "misgivings" as to the advisability of nominating him. They are also industriously cir culating the report that he is not quite so slender as Hamlet or Romeo. All we have to say on the subject is that if our Republican friends are depending on these great arguments to elect Messrs. Harrison and lieid, they must be in a sad way for campaign material, and have very slim hopes of electing their candidates.

Hrlglit Old MAD In KMMX County. Essex county, Mass., has been noted not only for ito legal lights like Rufus Choate, Caleb Gushing, Judge Story and others, but also for Its deputy sheriffs, some of whom have served many years. Of one of these men, Duniel Potter, many amusing stories have been told. At one time he entered a newspaper office in Salem, and addressing the only scrilie who was in sight said: "I thought I would tell you that to morrow I shall go where I never went before and can never go again." Tho scrilie, knowing his caller, promptly "gave it up," and then Mr. Potter said: "It is into my eightieth year!" Some years ago these old deputies had a gathering at the home of a certain ono of their number in Gloucester. While they wore roaming about the honse the host called tho attention of his guests to an old clock, a grout favorite of his. He told his friends of his great attach ment to this ancient timepiece and grew quite pathetic at certain points in his remarks, which lie brought to a close by saying In a voice full of emotion: "Gentlemen, I have wound up that clock every night for more than forty years." He had evidently made on impression on his visitors, when one old deputy, who had lieen carefully examining the clock, turned the tide of feeling evoked by the story by saying dryly: "Well, I always did think you were something of an idiot! That's an eight day clock!"— Youth's Companion. Religion* IMflFerenoo*. In the greater concerns of lifo thero aro wonderful illustrations of the con flicts of opinions. There are something over 1,200,000,000 of human beings in the world. Among those are six va rieties of religious lieliof; three of these are said by one class to be false, and by others three aro said to bo tho true re ligion. And yet every religionist, every sectarian claims that he and she alone are right What our Chinese neighbors say is "true" wo say is "false." We call them "heathens"—they class us as "out side barbarians." What we English speaking people think is the right und the true religion is in a startling minority in hnman be lief or religious creed—for there aro only some 350,000,000 Christians in all the world. Thore are some 6,000,000 Jews, and they have clung with singular persistency in all ages to their religious belief; it is seldom a Jew renonnces his faith; it is more seldom that a Chris tian embraces Judaism. Thero aro more than 400,000,000 people who are pagans and Mohammedans.—Dotroit Free Press. Scurf* That Hem und a I'in. The scarfpin should always he worn j with the flat, madenp scarf.

The chief Republican argument against the apportionment act is that the divi sion made by the legislature is not fair. ( But tho lawmaking power, and the law making power alone, is charged with the duty of apportioning the state. Tho constitution intends that tho question of fact involved in this task shall be de cided by the legislature and tho govern or—in other words, by tho political power. If the courts can step in for the pur pose of regulating the fairness of legis lators, why cannot they examine into all acts of the legislative or executive de partments? The constitution requires that the several districts shall bo as near ly as possible of equal population, hav ing due regard to the contiguity of ter ritory and to the rules forbidding the division of counties and providing that each county except Franklin and Ham ilton shall have one assemblyman. If tho courts can bo asked to perform a duty devolving on the legislature, or to set aside an act of the legislature on the ground that it involves an abuse of discretion, a wide political field is open to the judges not contemplated by the ' constitution and dangerous to the com- j monwealth. Judge Rumsey's decision would drag j tho courts into partisan quarrels of the | bitterest kind, and if that should be the j result of this contest the courts would ' lose the wholesome respect which most J of them now deserve.—New York World, j To Encourage the Weak Kneed. | In administration circles, the story j goes, there is considerable uneasiness ! felt because of the growing apathy among the active Republican workers; because they declared before the Min neapolis convention, and have repeated it since, that "there aro no inducements, from a federal patronage standpoint, for them to pull off their coats in behalf of | Harrison." To counteract the widespread and steadily Increasing feeling of discon tent among the outs, it is said a member of the cabinet announces that in the event of the re-election of President Harrison "many important changes will' bo made in the personnel of the adminis tration."—Charleston News and Courier. Stultifying TheniHelveM. To a great extent the reciprocity proj ect was a humbug. It wus intended as a sugar coating for the bitter pill of the McKinley tariff. "What do wo care for abroad?" said Major McKinley. "Let us cultivate and develop the home mar ket and leave foreign trade to take care of itself," said other leading lights of Rcpublicism. Yet in spite of these dec larations of antagonism to foreign trade the Republicans tacked the reci procity sections to tho McKinley law with the pretended purpose of securing new foreign markets for our agricultur ists and manufacturers.—Rochester (N. Y.) Herald. A "Much Alive" I.Hiie. Republicans of the wiser sort are making strenuous efforts to lift the force bill issne out of the campaign. Some of the organs insist that the issue is dead and that Harrison's letter of ac ceptance will give it burial. The at tempt is vain. The issue is clearly made by the record and attitude of the party and its principal leaders. The force bill has been indorsed by Mr. Harrison and tho controlling element in the party organization. Its principle is embodied and asserted in the platform of the party.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A Prominent Utipublicaii Seceder. There is some significance in the fact ! that Mr. William Dudley Foulke, late j president of the National Civil Service Reform association, has (by request) re signed his membership in the silk stock- ! ing Harrison Republican club in Indian apolis.

A VaplU BluIT. The Republican papers pretend to be j deeply indignant over the assembly re apportionment, and yet they say that the ! Republicans will surely carry the next assembly in face of the fact that last year tho Democrats carried the state by \ nearly 50,000 majority, and in spite of the fact that the Republicans have car ried tho state for governor but once in twenty years!— Buffalo Courier. An Unuvolduble Inference. The Republican papers now declare that no responsible utterance of the Re i publican party in 1890 ever promised better wages to the workinginen by the !

An Italian ex perimenter, one Professor G. Tolomei, Baa lieen making trials of various sorts, the object being to throw some light oil J electric influence ovor milk molecules. I In his first experience he passed an elec i trie discharge from a Holtz machine be tween two balls of platinum hanging two inches apart in a bottle containing a quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send ing a current between two strips of platinum at the bottom of a V tube filled with tho same fluid; thirdly, by subjecting milk in a test tube to the ac tion of a strong battery current through a silk covered copper wire wound spi j rally around the tube. ! In each ono of these experiments, I which were as thorough as any lover of | science could wish, it was proved that acidulation of the milk was delayed in stead of hastened, as had been expected. Three equal portions of milk from the same milking thus treated began to grow acid on the seventh, tho ninth and tho sixth days, respectively, while other portions of it which had not been treated with electricity was rankly acid on the evening of the third day. Having thus disproved the popular theory of lightning being the direct cause of the acidifica tion of milk, Professor Tolomei tried ozone and found therein the mystic agent of milk souring, lu his second trial of ozone he brought the surface of a quantity of milk close to the two balls of the machine used, and the fluid al most instantly became acid in conse qneuce. Hero at last a mystery that has puz zled professors and poasants alike has been made plain.—St. Louis Republic. Shoes for the Dead. Among Chicago's industries is a fac tory where the manufacture of shoes for corpses is carried on exclusively. Out of five neat black boxes a repre sentative of the firm yesterday took ns many different sizes. These were adults' and children's shoes. The material cor responds with tho purpose of their use. The shoes are certainly nice to took at. The soles are cut out of pasteboard and are covered with grained paper. The uppers are a combination of quilted satin and crochet work. A riblxm, in serted at the top and tied in a neat bow knot, holds the shoo to the foot. "Men'B shoes are always black," il was saiil. "Occasionally we turn out a lot of brown ones. We have had special orders for men's white shoes, but only in a few instances. Shoes for women and children are always white. They are not expensive; five to fifteen dollars will purchase a dozen pairs." The burial shoe is a patented article. It was designed by a Juliet (Ills.) woman milliner, who now enjoys tho profits of her idea. The Chicago company has been in existence for nearly a decade, and is catering to an ever increasing de mand. The firm employs a traveling man, who covers all the territory lie tween Maine and California. It takes ten girls and several machines to keep up with his orders. The average month ly output is 15,000 pairs during the dull season. It is increased to 25,000 during a busy period.—Chicago Tribune. The Gold Cure In Very Old. The precious metal has lieen employed both externally and internally, in the metallic state, in solution and by sym pathy, for a great variety of tho ills that flesh is heir to, for over 2,000 years. The train of thought which led the ancients to employ this highly prized material can lx) well told in tho quaint language of the distinguished Dutch physician and chemist, Hermann Boerhaave; writing about 1725, he says: "The alchemists will have this metal contain I know not what radical balm of life capable of re storing health and continuing it to the longest period. "What led the early physicians to imagine such wonderful virtue in gold was that they perceived certain qualities therein which they fancied mast b conveyed thereby into tho body; gold, for instance, is not capuble of being de - stroyed; hence they concluded it must bo very proper to proserve animal sub stances and save them from putrefac tion, which is a method of reasoning very much like that of some fanciful physicians who sought for an assuaging remedy in the blood of an ass' ear Ivy reason the ass is a very calm beast!"—- Professor H. Carrington Bolton in Pop ular Science Monthly. A Laughable Superstition. "A curious illustration of the va'.ne of superstitions," said Mr. Kunz, the dia mond expert for Tiffany & Co., "was afforded tho other day by a lady who brought a set of opals here for the pur pose of soiling them. Bho felt obliged to part with them on account of a series of misfortunes in her family which she feared were attributable to the gems, so notoriously unlucky. Ou examining thein I found that they were merely im itations. A few weeks ago I hail in my possession three seashells which had been transformed into opal. Their orig inal limy material lunl been dissolved out of the rock by which they were in closed, and the precious substance was dei>osited by water in place of the lime, retaining the form of the shells. A graduate of Harvard college bought the curiosity and presented it to that insti tution."—New York Sun. AD Absentniluded Journalist. Jim Faberpusher is one of the most industrious journalists in New York. He thinks of nothing but his professional duties.

"Yes, but I don't get pressed at all," responded the neglected wife. This well merited rebuke reminded the journalist of his obligations to his better half.— Texas Sittings. Ji mn QUOTATIONS.
