FREELAND, FA., MAY 7, 1894. j
Race Prejudice.
Race prejudice will often help a
man to carry out a fraud, said a citizen
of Ilelena, Mont., tho other day.
There is an alleged gold mine in our
state which has proved the graveyard
for thousands of dollars invested by
over-sanguine white men. Finally &
colored man got hold of it for a song,
and very shrewdly renamed it after
his own raco. 110 then started on a
junketing tour through tho southern
6tatcs, and, making use of an excep
tionally smooth tongue, harangued
crowds of negroes on the injustice to
colored people in restricting all profits
of gold mining to the whites. His an
nouncement of some of the large for
tunes made by white people was fol
lowed by the announcement that for
the first time a fair chance was given
to the negroes, and hot cakes seldom
sold moro rapidly than his five-dollar
shares. He carried this on for quite a
Jofag period, and without, as far as I
can see, infringing any law or laying i
himself open to any proceedings, ho I
accumulated quite a small fortune for I
himself. The mine was a bona fide j
one, inasmuch as a number of men
were always kept working in it, and
from time to time there has been
enough yield in a month to pay a
week's wages. The great feature of
the scheme was tho play upon names
and prejudices, and this proved a most
remarkable success.
A Gigantic Scheme.
A bill has been introduced in the
honsc providing for tho appointment
by the president of a commission to
examine and report upon the feasibil
ity and desirability of constructing a
boulevard from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific oceans. The bill was introduced
at the request of Dr. John T. Nagle,
the chief of the bureau of vital statis
tics of New York. The commission,
Mr. Dunphy says, is to report upon the
cost of the boulevard, the character of
the roadbed and the several states
through which it will run from New
York to tho Pacific slope. Dr. Nagle's
idea is to make the proposed boulevard
similar to that of the western boule
vard in New York city, with a road
way on either side, and a promenade
through the center, shaded by trees.
Mr. Dunphy roughly estimates the cost
at one hundred million dollars. Aside
from the utility of the roadway, it
would afford employment for thou
sands of idle men, which he regards as
one of tho chief considerations of the
plan.
ACCORDING to recent accounts Eng
lish capitalists have decided to plant
one of the largest wine grape vine
yards in the world in Howell county,
Mo. A syndicate composed principal
ly of hotel and restaurant owners has
been formed, and will divide about
four thousand acres of land into forty
acro tracts for vino growing. Peach
and apple orchards may also be
planted. The wine from the grapes is
to be sold in England, and all the prod
ucts of the place sent to England.
The country and the climate are
especially adapted for vineyard pur
poses.
PROF. FALR, of Berlin, prophesies a
very probable collision between the
earth and the comet of 1860 on Novem
ber 13, 1890, when the comet will cut
the point where the earth arrives
every year at that time. But ho does
not think harm could come of such a
collision, the material of the comet be
ing so light, unless the carbonic acid
gas of which it is probably composed
should poison our atmosphere. But,
anyway, he says we may look out for a
magnificent shower of meteors on that
date.
11 EKE Is au analysis of what is al
leged to be the typical American face:
The prominent nose, the sloping fore
head, the fairly large mouth, the full
eyes and predominance of the oval type
are the natural characteristics of an
aggressive, talented and shrewd peo
ple, agreeable in manners but keenly
alive to the main chance. It is a com
posite face, made up of qualities taken
from Puritan, English, Scotch and Ger
man sources.
THE factory Inspectors of New York
state report that in the 11,008 separate
factories, workshops and sweat shops
visited, they found 412,207 persons em
ployed. Over 48,054 women under
twenty-one and 0,000 under sixteen
wero employed. The report shows
that there has been a reduction in
ihild labor this past year.
Work and Worry.
In philosophizing' on the ups and
downs of mankind Hob Purdette, the
professional humorist, utters some de
cidedly unique views regarding man's
fights and privileges. In his merry
ways he saj's: "Man has a right to be
fliseontented. Man has a rocky time
of it anyhow, and there is no reason
why he should not show symptoms of
being tired of everything in general
and nothing in particular. 1 was once
tired out from labor. I tried to cross a
stream three times. Tho first time the
bridge broke and I fell into the water
and swain to the same shore I had
started from. I tried it again the next
(laj' and the same thing occurred. The
third time I started to drive across the
but the horses jumped over the
side, taking me with them. I struck
put for the right shore, but just then
one of the horses kicked me in the
I head, and I sank to the bottom of the
1 stream. I lay there for five days, and
I when I was finally taken out I found
myself on the same side of the stream
1 had started from; so 1 gave the job
up as a bad one and ceased laboring to
get to the haven where I would bo.
Labor kills many men, but nine-tenths
j of the people die from worry rather
than from labor. There are just two
days in tho week I don't worry about
—yesterday and to-morrow. It gives
one a little rest from worry, and if you
will ull follow my plan you will live
long and bo happy."
Cheap Road Improvement.
An interesting experiment in the im
provement of public roads is in prog
ress in Newcomb township, 111. Tho
farmers in that vicinity have always
. been strongly opposed to schemes for
j building hard roads, claiming that
their construction would practically
j confiscate tho farms. They have there
fore held to tho improvement of tho
! common dirt roods, constructing them
with underdrainage by tho use of tilo
and with open sido ditches. The ro
j suit is that they have the best roads in
the county. Last fall they tried
rounding them up by the use of a road
grader drawn by a traction engine,
j and the experiment worked so well that
I they have tried it again this spring
, Owners of traction engines have no
I employment for them at this season
, j and are glad of the chance to do tho
j work. The price paid for an engine,
with two men, is eight dollars a day,
and it is found that in two weeks of
good weather one engine can surface
up all the roads in tho township, leav
ing them in better condition than hand
or team work could do it, and in less
, time and at a fifty per cent saving in
| expense. It is proposed to entirely
abandon the labor tax for road pur
j poses and to pay ail road taxes in
, cash, the work to be done by ma
chinery.
IT is doubtful whether in a few
years hence any of the great water
powers in this country will bo longer
running to waste. The next to be
harnessed in the service of man will be
the falls of the Potomac, a company
having been incorporated in Virginia
for the purpose of constructing works
to utilize this most valuable force.
Many years ago a company was organ
ized for this same purpose, in which
the late Benjamin P. Butler was very
much interested, but, notwithstand- I
ing the proximity of the falls to the
city of Washington, nothing was ac
complished because of the lack of a
practicable method of transmitting or
distributing the power. The progress
of electrical science has made avail
able all of these waste forces of na
turo.
AN index of the prevailing hard times
is the number of seedy men and boys
who gather about the fruit wharves of
New York city on the arrival of a
vessel carrying bananas. The fruit Is
put aboard when green, but on long
voyages many bunches become ripe by
the heat of the hold. In this condi
tion rough handling breaks the
bunches apart, and as the wholesale
dealers will not accept the fruit in
this condition a large part of it is
thrown away. Persons to whom satis
factory meals are few and far apart
have learned that bananas are most
filling, and as the broken bunches
may be had nearly always for the ask
ing they have grown to await the
arrival of fruit steamships In order to
satisfy their hunger.

A BROOKLYN judge a few days ago

send word of the case to the health

ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.
The town was again put into a state of
excitement Wednesday evening by Fer
ry Washgo and his wife having a set-to,
hut this time it was not as serious as the
last. The trouble started between Ferry
and a young couple who lived in with
him. It appears Ferry got "jealous of
I his friend, so some hot words came be
| tween them. Ferry's wife joined in the
debate and her husband gave her a ter
rific blow, and she took a back seat-
Ferry and the other still gave tongue to
one another until a free fight followed.
Both men clinched and then the woman
of the young married man tackled Ferry.
This again angered Ferry's woman, so
she went to the assistance of her lord
and master and tackled the young lass.
The fight lasted but a few minutes, but
during that time axes, garden forks and
pick-handles were freely used. At the
end of the battle a bottling team was
passing by and was stopped and the
young couple loaded their baggage and
removed to one of their South street
friend'B houses.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, May 4, 1594.
Coxey's march upon the capitol was
one of the most farcical fizzles of the
age. Today lie anil Carl Browne and
Christopher Columbus Jones are being
tried in the police court for violating the
law in attempting to make speeches
from the steps of the capitol. They are
not likely to be severely punished—
probably small fines as a warning. If j
the foolish men now on their way to j
Washington to join Coxey could get I
within smelling distance of the pest-hole 1
in which the poor Coxeyites are confin- 1
ed —Coxey says camped—they would
turn hack at once. Inasmuch as Coxey '
was told by the health olficer of the (
danger attendant upon putting those j
poor devils in a marsh partially tilled |
with dumpings of city tilth, with an j
open sewer on one side and stagnant I
green-scummed cesspools on the other, I
and the foul atmosphere thoroughly im- j
pregnateil with malarial germs, it looks j
as though he would be glad to gain a
little additional notoriety by having a
lot of them die like dogs.
Nearly all of the four hundred men
now there are half sick from exposure
and lack of proper food, and the daily
inspections by the health ollieials is
followed by the ambulance carrying
some of them to the hospitals. Coxey,
being comfortably quartered at a hotel,
says he intends to keep these men here
until they are joined by several hundred
thousand, but he won't. Those who
don't get sick will desert; every day
some of them get arrested for begging in
the streets and are sent down as
vagrants.
In addition to recovering $27,513.24
paid out on fraudulent or illegal pensions,
the Democratic management of the pen
sion bureau has saved the government
in the neighborhood of a million dollars
during the last twelve months by the
discovery of frauds and the stopping of
accrued payments on them. That is
just the sort of thing that the people
have a right to expect from the Demo
cratic management of every branch of
the goverment. The pension of any
deserving soldier is not decreased, but
increased wherever possible if the law
allows it, and it is only those who have
no just claim to the money that are
severely dealt with. A few good old
soldiers did have their pensions stopped
by mistake, but the error was promptly
rectified.
They would doubtless resent being
called lobbyists, but there can be no
doubt that the work upon which the
gentlemen who are here representing
the various parties interested in Pacific
Railroad's legislation, now being consi
dered by bouse and senate committees,
are engaged in is lobbying pure and
simple. Each and every one of them is
after legislation that will protect the
interest he represents, regardless of the
interests of the government.
The Republicans in congress are not
doing much talking this week about the
special election last Tuesday in the third
Ohio congressional district, at which the
Democrats elected Paul J. Sorg to con
gress by a substantial majority, nltliough
a week ago they were boasting that the
district would go Republican as a protest
against tariff reform. It seems that the
Democrats of that district are like those
of all the other districts—they want
tariff reform and the Democratic sena
tors cannot give it to them any too soon.
The Republicans are as quarrelsome
and spiteful as a lot of setting hens these
days and all because the Democratic
senators do not see fit to take them into
their confidence as to the nature of the
proposed amendments to the tariff bill.
With the exception of the day that tire
senate adjourned immediately after as
sembling, because of the death of Sena
tor Stockbridge, of Michigan, there lias
not been a session of the senate for a
week at which the Republicans have not
attempted to provoke the Democrats into
a row. To the credit of the Democrats
be it said they have as a rule kept their
tempers, allowing the Republicans to
make a lot of ridiculous statements about
something that they knew absolutely
nothing about—the intentions of the
Democrats.
The favorite misstatement seems to he
that a new tariff bill is being prepared.
Although denied when first made, by
Senators Yoorhees and Harris, it lias
since been reiterated by half a dozen
Republican senators. The Demo
cratic senators will in duo time an
nounce the amendments to tho tariff
bill, which will be supported by the
finance committee, and they will pass
them, too; also the bill. Tho object of
the Republicans is to create dissension
among tho Democrats, but it will not
succeed. The Democrats are today
nearer together than they have been
during tho session, and will remain so.
