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.

a broad one then.

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

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.

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

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.

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."
