FREELAND, PA., .JANUARY 80,1893. Two important bills have passed the house at Harrisburg, and it is very likely that both will go through the senate and receive the governor's signature. One establishes the days of the November and February elec tions as legal half holidays from 12 o'clock noon, and the other provides for the election of township road supervi sors for a term of threeyears. There is also another bill before the house to elect tax collectors for three years, and it is said there aro good chances of it being passed. THE new series of Columbian stamps are the subject of much ad verse criticism since their sale began, and it must be said their designer was very negligent in many important details. On the one-cent stamp Col umbus is spelled Columrus. He is represented as sighting land, and ap pears as a man with a olean shaven face. On the two cent stamp the landing of the party is shown. This occurred one day after the land was sighted, but Christopher is found sporting a handsome bunch of whis kers and a nobby mustache. Now how he raised such a fine crop with in twenty four hours is something the designers should explain. There are a number of young men in Ameri ca who would give a great deal to possess that secret. THE books, "Protection or Free Trade," which are advertised in an other column, are still in demand. Before the last election nearly 400 copies were given away free at this office, the majority of them going in to the hands of Democrats. It was thought there would be no more call for them after that, but they aro still going, sixty-three having been taken out since election day. Democrats now seem to have no further use for tariff lierature, as less than a dozen copies were taken by men of that party, llepublicans, however, want ed to find out the cause of the avalanche, and thought they could not learn it better than by reading George's hook If there are any more who are in the dark as to "why it was done" we can supply them with "Protection or Free Trade." A VEBY, very funny story is told in | the dispatches from Washington re- I garding the appointment of a succes sor to Justice Lamar, who died last week. The office is worth fIO,OOO a year, and a man can hold it while he lives and behaves himself. Where the Idea originated is not known, but it is suggested that President Harri son should resign from office, and upon Vice President Morton taking the chair he would appoint Harrison to the vacant associate judgeship. A vory nice arrangement that would be, but it savors entirely too much of European style to be commended by Americans. Why Harrison cannot step back into private life like bis predecessors and stay there until be is called for again is something strange. The supreme court was not constituted as a last resort for ex presidents. THE proposition to allow the peo ple of New Yoik city and surrounding districts to vote upon the question of consolidation has been revived in New York's state legislature. It is thought there will he less opposition to the scheme than at any previous time, as many of the politicians of the outlying districts are in favor of it. The city of New York would go almost unani- \ niously for the movement, and it is I certain to be carried if the legislature | grants permission to vote upon the 1 proposition. New York would then j consist of the present city, Kings : county including Brooklyn, Richmond county, West Chester, Long Island j city, Newton, Flushing, Jamaica, and j parts of East Chester, Pelham and 1 Hempstead, and would have a popu- j latiou that could not be overtaken by Chicago in tho next hundred years. The smile of Tammany's tiger will be a broad one then. The name of X. 11.

Hold by Dr. Hchil cher. some i'opuiar science. If there is anything we do enjoy it is spreading scientific ideas among the peo ple. The reader will therefore under stand the pleasure it gives us to lay be fore him an abstract of a paper by Alexander Macallister, M. D., F. R. S., on "The Study of Man." Professor Mac allister begins by calling old tin cans "rusty polyhedra." Take notice, please, that an ancient sardine box is a rusty polyhedron. Having got thus far with our scientific education we proceed to the next point. It is that the word Celt is difficult to de fine because it is used sometimes in an ethnic, sometimes in a phylogenetic and again in a linguistic sense, and is ap plied, moreover, both to dolichocephalic and brachycephalic races. This tends to bring physical anthropology into con fusion, especially when the pseudo morphs of earlier cultures add to the perplexity. Yes, indeed, professor. Another mighty truth is that the larg est part of the human skull, when un modified by premature synostosis or other adventitious conditions, owes its form to that of the cerebral hemispheres it contains. Just so. Precious to us. too, is the information that the love.' jaw of the macrodoutal races is heavier 1 than that of mesodontals, or microdont als, and that the average Englishman's masseters and temporals weigh sixty grams. We always thought it was more than that. This does not hinder macro donts from being frequently microcepha lic all the same, and in this case the jaw is prognathous and the supraorbital ar cade must be advanced to meet the mandibular stroke. We suspected that. At the period of second dentition there is an extension of the mucosa of the an terior ethnoidal cell. We are not sur prised. therefore, to learn that the skull of the microcephalic and mesodontal bush man is orthognathous, while that of the macrodontal and microcephalic Austra lian is prognathous. We can even take it in that metopism is rare among mi crocephalic races. There is apparently nothing contrary to Scripture in that. But when we are expected to believe that the alveolar arch of the macrodont is hypseloid, and that both the leptorhine Eskimo and the platyrhine Australian have a greater nasal index than that of the leptorhine Englishman, we are in clined to doubt. It does not sound or thodox; it doesn't really. We turn with pleasure to things all can accept, as, for instance, that the orbital cavity of the microseme Austra lian and the inegaseme Kanaka is larger than that of the mesoseme Englishman. All of us can agree cheerfully to the statement that microdontism and inega cephaly have been acquired at some stage in the ancestral history of the race And if there is anything wo do believe 1 with enthusiasm it is the following; But there Is underlying all these no unifying hypothesis, so that when we in our sesquipeda lian jargon describe an Australian skull as microcephalic, phienozygous, tapeiuo-dolicho cepbalic, prognathic, platyrhine, hypselopala- I line, Jeptoataphylino, dolichuranic, chamatpro sopic and microsome we are no nearer to the \ formulation of any philosophio concept of the : general principles which have led to the as sumption of these characters by the cranium in question. It is reported that a new electric lamp is on the market, one that will be a rival to the Edison incandescent without in fringing the patents covered by that illumination which now fills all avail able space. The new lamp is the prop erty of tho Westinghonse company, that intends to push it vigorously. Any new electric lamp must avoid making use of any of the apparatus described in the following specifications covered by the Edison patents—namely, "A combina tion consisting of a carbon burner in filamentary form, a glass inclosing lamp chamber, which is one entire piece of glass, and from which, in order to com plete tho lamp, the air is entirely ex hausted, and platinum wires leading through the glass to the filament of car bon, the glass being sealed by fusion around the carbon wires so as to make an absolute complete vacuum chamber." It seems certain that before another decade it will not be very uncommon for railway trains to travel 100 miles an hour. On several occasions trains have already gone at the rate of ninety miles an hour for a short distance. A locomo tive on a road between New York and Philadelphia recently made seventy-five miles in seventy-five minutes on a slip pery track, with the wind dead ahead. Considerable time was lost besides in waiting for other trains, so that tho en gineer was obliged to go slow over a part of the road. The fastest miles in this remarkable journey were made in forty seconds—two-thirds of a niinutei The engine was of the compound pattern and drew after it four parlor coaches. The advocates of opening the grounds and buildings of the World's fair on Sunday propose to move on those who are opposed to it by new tactics. They now claim in a resolution which has been laid before the national house of representatives that the congressional act of Aug. 5, 1892, is unconstitutional. The claim is based upon that clause of tlio United States constitution which de clares that congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exorcise thereof. They say that closing the exposition buildings on Sunday will be making a law respecting an establishment of ro lierion. Gladstone is a direct descendant on his mother's side from King Robert Brace of Scotland. He is therefore descended from a royal family as old as that whence I Queen Victoria draws her blood. REFORM CLUB'S WORK REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND : PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. Its Labors Will Not Cease Until the Chi- j cago Platform Is in Force and Better j Methods of Taxation Adopted—Okjec- ! tlons to Tariff, Income and Other Taxes. President E. Ellery Anderson, of the Reform club, of New York, has just pre sented his report at the annual meeting \ of that organization. Mr. Anderson dis- ; cusses the silver question, the antisnap- j per movement in New York, the reasons for the opposition of the club to D. B. Hill, the tariff and the nomination and election of Grover Cleveland. The club Bpent during the year over j $14,000 in tariff reform work; $1)0,000 of this was supplied from individual sub scriptions and $4,000 from dues of non resident members. It may be mentioned for the benefit of protectionists that the and contributions were paid by Americans and not by Britishers, though the club would have been glad of the opportunity to invest Cobden club gold in their work of education. Mr. Ander- I son says: i This work was carried on continuously through speakers and lecturers, through j the constant distribution of tariff reform articles, wliich, through the western press agencies, appeared ill over 2,000 newspapers and reached a very largo number of readers, and through the in strumentality of its own publication, Tariff Reform. Your committee feels that a great step in advance has been taken, and that in the battlo that has been fought for principle in 1893 the Reform club has held the right of the lino and has con tributed its full share to tlio result which has been achieved. Much, however, remains to bo done. On some of the principles involved there is substantial accord. Free wool, free metal ores, freo lumber, free coal and free salt commend themselves to all tariff reformers. Wo all agree that duties which servo as bulwarks for trusts and monopolies, such as the fifty cents per hundredweight on refined sugar, while the raw material used by the refiners is on the freo list, should bo repealed. It would seem to be absolutely neces sary to impose taxes upon many articles with a view to obtaining the highest possible amount of revenue from them, which wo would gladly seo taxed much less if there were less need for revenue. It is probable that no adjustment of tariff rates upon articles now dutiable, whether high or low, could produce a sufficient increase of revenue to meet the necessities of the federal government during the next three or four years. In view of this difficulty several different solutions have been proposed. It hits been suggested that the tax on whisky should be increased. If such an in creased tax could be fully collected, and if it could be made to apply to all whisky in bond at the time of the passage of the act, a large additional revenue might be obtained from this source, but all the experience of the past shows that very high taxes upon whisky cannot be thoroughly collected, and that they open the way to enormous frauds. It has been proposed in some quarters to tax raw sugar, tea and coffee, which are untaxed by the existing tariff. But to this many earnest tariff reformers are opposed as a step away from free trade rather than toward it, while they agree that free trade, though it may be yet long distant, is a consummation desirable to be attained. The only alternative in the way of ac tual taxation which remains appears to be an income tax, which again meets great opposition on account of the gross frauds upon the revenue which have al ways abounded under every income tax, especially in this country. Tho only re i maining alternative, so far as we are aware, is the issue of deficit bonds to an amount sufficient to cover the deficiency I which has been caused by the wanton ' and corrupting extravagance of the pres ent national administration. To this, of course, thero are serious objections not necessary to be dwelt upon. Upon one point the opinions of the committee are unanimous. Whether the reform of the tariff results in increasing or decreasing the government revenue, it ought to and must succeed, without delay or evasion, upon the lines pro scribed by tho Chicago platform of 1892. Every increase of taxes mado by the Mc- Kinley law must be absolutely repealed. All raw materials must be admitted freo of duty, and all partially finished mate rials for manufacture must be admitted at very low rates of duty. No duties must in any case bo retained at a rate higher than that which will produce the largest revenue to the government and the least revenue to protected individ uals. The promises made to tho people, which they have believed and upon the | strength of which they have restored I Urover Cleveland to national leadership, I must be fulfilled to the last hater witli -1 out the smallest unnecessary delay. Many ingenious efforts will bo made 1 to obstruct the work of tariff reform. And even after such reform is secured by favorable legislation the American ' people will need to be constantly edu cated, year after year, as to the impor -1 tance of maintaining that which has been achieved and of going forward in the i same direction. It is therefore the pur > pose of your committee to conduct an in telligent discussion on the subject of pro posed legislation affecting our system of , taxation. We propose to conduct this discussion by means of our periodical is sues of Tariff Reform and by regular 1 ;ontributions to the press. We shall also i endeavor, if tho opportunity is afforded us, to conduct a series of lectures in , which the subject matter of correct tax , ation will be fully presented to the peo ple from time to time. The field is am ple, and we promise to return full meas ure for such co-operation as we may I from time to time receive from our sub j scribers, from the members, resident and i nonresident, of our club, and from those who desire to see the principles settled ' at the late election enacted into the per manent laws of our country. The Excitement in France. To understand the extreme excitement which the Panama inquiry produces in Franco we must recollect that it involves tho whole question of the fitness of the sovereign power to exercise its functions. The dispute among Frenchmen —the radical dispute which underlies all oth ers—is whether universal suffrage, un controlled and unguided either by a monarch, a Caesar or a class, is compe tent to create for itself a sovereign pow er. That it lias created 0110 in the as sembly is not questioned. That body can, in practice, dismiss the president— did do it in M. Grevy's case; can compel any minister or cabinet to resign; can nominato their successors and can pass any law whatever that it thinks is de sirable for France. Its uction is not arrested by any veto, and it is not liable to penal dissolution without the consent of that half of itself which is called the senate, a consent which it might be very difficult to extort. Indeed, the chamber itself must often be consulted, for it must pass the budget before a dissolu tion can be safe, and the budget is often delayed to the very expiration of the legal term. The assembly is in fact sovereign, and if the assembly—that is, the senators and deputies taken together—are proved to have been bribable, or to have toler ated bribery, the deduction is painfully obvious. Universal suffrage has failed to elect an honest sovereign power.— London Saturday Review. liitereHting Missouri Suits. Kansas city men who did not vote in 1800 and the late election are to be sued by the city to test a peculiar law. The charter provides that voters who do j not vote at the general city election every two years shall be charged with a poll tax of $250 each. The registration books of the city show that there were I several thousand voters who did not ex- I erciso their right of franchise last spring, j At $250 each these men owe the city a large amount, and as that sum or any part of it would come very handy just now the city counselor has taken the first step toward collecting it. The money so collected goes into the sanitary fund, but it benefits the city departments, as money that would otherwise be taken from the revenue fund for other purposes is appropriated for sanitary purposes. Half of the best known business men and manufacturers, professional men and capitalists, tlioso who have large property interests, will find their names on the list of delinquents. The men who are mostly directly interested in a finan cial way in the government of the city are the men who seem to take no part in politics and neglect to vote.—Cor. Clii cago News-Record. Lubouclicro'it Share in a Journal. Since there is no longer any conceal ment necessary with regard to the sev erance of Mr. Labouchere's connection with The Daily News I may mention that the price paid for his share in the newspaper was £90,000. When he first became connected with the proprietorship of the paper, more than five and twenty years ago, he paid the representatives of the outgoing or deceased shareholder £II,OOO for the holding of which he has now received a sum more than sufficient to start a morning newspaper of his own. Nothing is yet known as to his inten tions, but it is regarded as by no means impossible that, in conjunction with Sir Charles Dilke, who has long wished to own or have an interest in a daily paper, some plan may be adopted by which the advanced or disaffected radicals, as dis tinguished from the ministerialists, will have an organ of their own.—Leeds Mer cury. Nerves and Nerve. After a seven years' courtship George Bailey, a well to do farmer, and Esther Bailey, his cousin, have made two at tempts to get married in Norwich, Pa., within two weeks, and the wedding is off. The ceremony was to have been I performed Wednesday of last week, and 1 a large number of guests were present. ! Suddenly the prospective bride disap peared and was found locked in her room. To her parents' appeals to come out she only replied, "I'm too nervous! I'm too nervous! It'll have to bo put off!" Nothing would do but a postponement to Monday. Monday came and the bride was over her nervousness and ready with the guests. But now the bridegroom did not come. Instead he sent this message: ' "I'm not nervous. On the contrary, I've ! got nerve enough to postpone this wed ding indefinitely." And it was post poned.—Philadelphia Record. Theft Revealed by a Dream. ; Mrs. Cornelia M.

I THE WAY TO RAISE WAGES. < Remove the Taxes from Raw Materials, J and They Will Raise Themselves. I The Philadelphia Manufacturer of i Dec. B, r one of the most fanatical of pro- j tectionist sheets, said: j "The low prices for cotton during the I past year have been hard upon the plant- i ers, hut of huge benefit to spinners and j consumers. The cotton mills in this J country have had a season of high pros- I peritv, and this has been shared by work- | ing people and by purchasers of the , fabrics. The recent voluntary advance j of wages in certain New England cotton { mills was one of the results of the low | prices of the staple." i This would have been rank heresy be- \ fore Nov. B—free trade, Cobden club | talk. Does The Manufacturer forget ( that about the only genuine wage ad vance made during the first two years 1 and two months of McKinley rule and reported by The American Economist in ; its list of twenty-eight alleged wage ad vances credited to McKinley was the | 8i per cent, (increased to 7$ since elec- j tion) advance in the cotton mills of Fall i {liver? And now The Manufacturer tells j us, what free traders told us all along, i tli. ; this advance was duo to cheap raw j material —cotton —and not to McKinley. j Well, perhaps free traders have been talking "straight" all the time, and the j right way to raise wages is to remove | taxes on raw materials, and by and by wages will raise themselves. If free and cheap cotton has compelled cotton goods manufacturers to lower the price of their goods and to advance wages, why would not free and cheap sugar and tin plate soon compel canning establishments to lower prices and in crease wages? And why wouldn't free and cheap coal and iron ores soon lower prices and advance wages in our whole iron and steel industry? And why wouldn't free and cheap lumber soon reduce the cost of houses while at the same time, increasing the pay of house smiths? And why wouldn't free and cheap foreign wool soon give us cheap clothes and increase tho wages of our poorly paid textile workers? Perhaps, after all, this is the common sense way of raising wages and of lower ing prices. It would indeed be strange if McKinley's plan of taxing ourselves into prosperity should be found to have had exactly the opposite effect, yet that's the way it looks. Anyhow the people themselves have decided to take the op posite tack. If we can have our wages raised and at the same time get cheaper food, clothing and house, our lot will be a happy one, and we will feel grateful to the party that "dropped onto" this method of inducing prosperity to visit our homes. The Cry for the C >rn Laws. The protectionist orgai s are trying to make political capital out of the tact that some of the English farmers are calling for a restoration of the corn laws. If consistency were a characteristic of the protectionist party in the United States, it would be a difficult task for a party that had just been arguing that everything English was necessarily bad for this country to urge this selfish clamor of the English landlords as an argument in favor of protection here. The English corn laws were passed in the interest of tiie landed aristocracy of England, just as our tariff laws were passed for the benefit of the moneyed aristocracy here. England needs more food than her scanty territory can yield to feed her people. Hence a tariff on imported grain would give the English land owners a monopoly. The United States raises millions of bushels of grain yearly in excess of the amount our own people can consume. A tariff on grain can, therefore, benefit the American farmer in no possible way. It is the American manufacturer that stands in the same relation to a protect ive tariff that the English landlord does. Each is benefited by shutting out com petition by means of protective tariffs. The same selfish greed is the motive 111 each case. In each case the moneyed, class—the few—demand that the labor ing masses shall be forced to pay more for the necessaries of life—for food in England, for clothing in America—in or der that the plutocrats may enjoy greater profits. The blackest page in English history is the record of the suffering entailed upon England by the corn laws. There is not the slightest possibility of their restoration. If there could be, the reac tion would be as quick and powerful as that which followed 011 the heels of Mc- Kinleyism.—Oakland Post. That Sheltering I'mbrella. Nothing funnier has appeared since the election than President Harrison's remark that "protection has failed be cause the wageearner has refused to share his shelter with the manufacturer; ho would not even walk under the same umbrella." Considering that the operatives in tho protected industries do not constitute more than one-twentieth of the working population, the assumption that their action decided the election is quite amus ing in itself. But when the mind pic tures the strikers at Homestead, nine tenths of whom were paid less than two dollars a day, "refusing to share their shelter" with Andrew Carnegie, who had pulled But more than $1,000,000 a year in profits, the comicality suggests its own cartoon. Mr. Harrison perhaps failed to notice the fact that if 1,250,000 was contributed to his campaign fund by the protected millionaires of Pennsylvania alone to preserve the tariff which they had paid for and made. Docs the president really think this payment was pure philanthropy to en able the paternal plutocrats to hold an umbrella over the wage earners?— New York World. Representative O'Ferrall, of Virginia, tells the Baltimore Sun (Dein.): "I am earnestly in favor of an extra session of congress and think it should be called as early as possible. The abolition of the duty on tin plate alone would more than save to the country the entire cost of the session." I CURE THAT () i Cold ;! I AND STOP THAT 11 I Cough, ii >N. H.
