The Credit System.
"Why do merchants encourage the j
credit system?" is a question asked by a j
sensible exchange, which answers it as
follows: "You reply that you do not.
Yes, but you do. If the system were not
encouraged by the merchants it would
not be in existence today. Did you ever
stop to think that the mercantile com- I
munity of the country is the only body 1
of men who tolerate the credit system? \
Let's sec you buy postage stamps, postal
notes, money orders, etc., on credit; try !
it, and see what you'll be told. Go to j
the theatre and you pay money. Ex
press companies demand cash, and rail
road tickets are cash on delivery to the
purchaser.
"Why should not the merchant
demand and receive cash? Simply
because he encourages the credit system.
It may be an Impossibility to completely
eradicate the system, but strict limita- !
tions on credit is a step in the right j
road, and the evolution will be practi
cally a cash basis system of doing busi
ness. It is worth a trial and should he
begun at once. It would quickly spread, |
like measles in a country school, and
when it does it shall solve one great j
problem for all time.
"When sifted down it would be found j
that the credit system is the progenitor j
of and responsible for more evil that !
affects the financial and business world, 1
than all other agencies combined. Not
only this, but it fosters extravagance—
tin* purchase of goods which can be very
well done without."
The Republican factional light will be
waged with much bitterness at Harris
burg on Wednesday. This is the expec
tation of all, and the especial hope of
Democrats, who have viewed it with |
more or less interest from the start. :
The struggle for supremacy in the domi
nant party has been the fiercest known
in political history, and despite the pre- !
dictions of politicians, that the factions !
will unite after Wednesday, there are
good reasons for believing otherwise.
One need not go outside our own coun
ty to find evidence that the Quay-Hast- !
ings contest has demoralized the party,
and reports from all portions of the I
state are to the same effect. The cam- !
paigti has been too personal, and too j
many skeletons have been unearthed by ,
both sides, for either to agree honestly
to harmonize. The feeling for revenge
may not be strong enough to turn the
state Democratic, but it will place sev
eral counties back in the Democratic
column, and that alone is something that
Democrats will have cause to give thanks
for on next Thanksgiving Day.
The residents of Birvanton are still
without fire protection. This part of
town is rapidly building up, and as
something must eventually be done in
the matter, the council cannot act too
soon. Before it was admitted to the
borough a serious lire occurred there,
and some of the property then destroy
ed could have been saved if the proper
appliances to fight the blaze were at
hand. Now that it is under the juris
diction of the council, the people own
ing property have a right to expect pro
tection. It is dangerous to put it off.
A fire, aided by a strong wind, would
sweep the "Hill" in a few hours. The
firemen have nothing to stop it.
Borough Solicitor Carr has informed
the street committee of council that the
money to complete the sewerage system
cannot be borrowed without tin- consent
of the voters. To hold an election on
the question would require some time,
and, if it carried, the. work could not be
commenced until late this year. Under
the circumstances, it is likely the com
pletion of the sewers will be delayed
until next spring. This is to be re
gretted and will be a disappointment to
those who reside on the streets that the,
council decided to sewer at the last
meeting.
It cannot be denied that the Quay-
Hastings quarrel has not made news
paper readers tired at times, yet there
are not a few who regret to see the end
so near. When the Republican battle
is over the metropolitan dailies will fall
back upon interviews with Pugilists C'or
bett and Fitzsimmons to pad their bulky
pages, and it is the thoughts of that
which cause men to wish that the Quay
ites and anti-Quayites would continue
voting for another month.
A little item in a newspaper sometimes
make an enemy for the newspaper for
life, but it doesn't stop him from reading
it. however; it just changes him from a
subscriber to a sponger. The offended
person generally discontinues his sub
scription, but is much more anxious to
read it, and borrows his neighbor's pa
per fur that purpose.

Fruit of the Bike Craze.
The bicycle craze has already begun
K> bear fruit and to tell on sentimental
affairs in Washington. It is rumored,
says the Post, that one engagement has
been smashed to smithereens all on ac
count of the fascinating bike. She
avowed she would have one, and ride
it, too. He got wratliy and said it
vfis unfeminlne, undignified and vul
gar. She came back at lnm with the
assertion that society, almighty and
omnipotent society, approved, and
that certainly ought to settle it. He
stuck to it that that did not prove any
thing as to the propriety of the thing
any more than because certain society
women played poker habitually for
money, smoked cigarettes and got fud
dled on champagne that therefore these
things were "good form." She burst
into tears and said he was a "brute,"
whereupon he handed in his resigna
tion then and there. Now their paths
have diverged. A dainty summer girl
who doesn't ride a bicycle is installed
as idol and fetich, gets all the candy
and flowers, and the rebellious fair bi
cyclist is hiding her chagrin by speed
ing of mornings with the attache of the
Zanzibar legation.
IN ISOO the incorporated banks of the
United States had a total capital oi
$430,000,000, with a population of 31,-
730,000. In 1890 the capital of our
chartered banks, national and state,
was (840,000,000, while our population
was 02,000,000. In the former period
the banking capital was as $13.57 tc
each inhabitant; in 1890 the rate was
(13.42. Within the thirty years, how
ever, the increase in business transac
tions was in a very much higher ratio
than that of population; quite probably
two fold. From these facts, one of twe
conclusions must follow —either (1) that
the growth of banking facilities has,
during this period, been largely inad
equate to the requirements of trade; or
(2) that the banks, with a given amount
of capital, are now able to transact a
much larger amount of business than
they did formerly.
DR. HARRISON, a noted Brooklyn
divine, said, in a late sermon: "There
can be no drunkards on bicycles. A
man has to keep all his wits about him
to ride a wheel. To all other sports
companionship is necessary. Wheeling
is the most wonderful pastime in this
respect. One person is enough,
and ten thousand are not too
many. Dr. Harrison suggested be
tween five a. m. and seven a. m.,
as the best time for the ex
ercise. In closing his sermon he said
that when a man gets on his wheel and
goes into the country, he is as near tc
lleaven as he can get on earth, and
that nothing has ever leveled society sr.
much as the wheel has done and is go
ing to do.
A COLORED woman in Guthrie, Ola.,
awakened a few da3*s ago out of a
sound sleep that had lasted a little
more than three weeks. During that
period all the efforts of pli3'sieians and
others to awaken her were unavailing.
When she awoke she quietly got up
and started about the house as though
nothing unusual had occurred. She did
not know she had been asleep longer
than over night, and though the doe
tors were able to give her but very
little nourishment during her long
j sleep, she did not seem in any
I weakened.
Two OF the largest rivers in south-
I ern California, the San Joaquin and 1
the Kings, were a few days ago stocked
with black bass, imported for tiie pur
pose b3* the fish commissioners of tin
state. Twenty-five thousand of the
fish were put in the San Joaquin and as
many more in the Kings. It is expect
ed that not onl3* will the bass afford
; fine sport, but that they will also clear
, the rivers of small fr3 ? of coarse and
; low grade fish.
A RECENT article in the Popular
Science Monthly presents some striking
figures concerning the present cost of
transportation as compared with the
mid-century. The reduction in freight
! rates on coal since 185*2 has been from
! 75 to 80 per cent. In 1807 284 bushels
1 of wheat could be carried from Chicago
to New York for the export price of 100
bushels, and in 1804 5*20 bushels could
be carried for the same amount.
SUICIDE is uncommon among colored
people, and the suicide of a reputable
j colored citizen of Halifax county, Va.,
! which occurred is noted as a
| remarkable occurrence in Virginia.
This man was sixty years old, and the
cause of his killing himself was be
lieved to be loncsomeness und despond

wife and the absence and silence of his
j children.
IT is said that a courtship has been
going on for some time in the Mari
nette (Wis.) jail through a chimney
| that connects the men's and women's
wards. Who says that love will not
J find the way? Let him take note
hereof and henceforth hold his peace.
A MAN who lives near Newburg,
, Ore., recently sold a well-matched yoke

Modest Requirements.
This is what a young- lady is reported
recently to have said, apropos of mar
riage: "Well, no, I don't know if 1
would marry for money alone; but if a
man had plenty of money, allied to a
sweet disposition, and a mustache that
curled at both ends, and nice blue eyes,
and a social position; if he had a dis
tinguished status in a profession, or
even as a merchant, and his father was
rich and his mother and sisters aristo
cratic, and he wanted to tnarry me, and
he would promise to let me have my
own way in everything, and keep me
liberally supplied with money, and
have a splendidly furnished town
house id a handsome country resi
dence, \yas liberal about diamonds and
other gems, also about the milliner,
never grumbling, and I really and truly
loved him, I shouldn't consider mar
riage a drawback." Now, there's a
young woman who seems to know what
she wants in a husband. Hut it is quite
safe to predict that she will have a long
period of single blessedness to enjoy
before her ideal comes along.
TIIE claim of the eagle to the title of
Icing of birds seems to bo slightly
clouded by an incident reported from
Stafford county, Va. A gentleman
down there was watching an unusually
fine bald eagle grandly sailing around
in the nir a few days ago when he no
ticed a little bee martin rise in the air
and make straight for the eagle. He
wondered what the martin's object
could be, and was surprised to see it
sail in boldly to tear feathers out of the
big eagle. But ho was amazed to see
the eagle, after a few moments of ef
fort at beating off the little bird, sail
away in full flight, making every ef
fort to escape from the martin. The
martin followed up closely for awhile,
making a savage jab at the eagle
every few yards, but was finally left
behind through the superior retreating
powers of the big eagle. But when
you come to think of it, a solitary bee
can make a pretty "big-bug" get a
pretty lively stir 011 himself.
A MASSACHUSETTS inventor has pat
ented a machine which is supplied with
fine planing teeth. A log of wood cut
square is fed to it and when the log
passes through it has furnished a hun
dred strips of wood much resembling
excelsior. Their length, of course, is
that of the log. It is claimed that
these when moistened can be woven
much more rapidly than straw and
make as durable a hat. The inventor
says it is twice as light as straw and
that, because of its easier manipulation
and cheaper cost, it will supersede the
straw now used for the construction of
headgear. Even women's Leghorn hats
and the finest Panamas may become
possible for those who can't afford
them now.
IT is said that most of the bralcemen
and switch tenders on Maine railroads
wear congress shoes. The fact is
brought out in connection with the
death of a brakeman in North Berwick
a few days ago whose foot got fast in
a frog, and he, being unable to extri
cate it, was run down by a train and
mortally wounded. It was found that j
he wore a laced shoe. His fellow j
workmen testified that had he worn a '
congress shoe, according to the usual
custom, he would doubtless have been
able to promptly take his foot out of it
when caught in the frog, and might
have escaped unhurt.
WESTERN Kansas is entirely unlike
Holland because of the scarcity, almost
absence, of water, but is becoming
very like the Dutch lowlands in the
great abundance of windmills, which
are becoming so numerous as to fill up
the landscape. In the town of Wilson
a traveler counted seventy-two wind
mills in view from the hotel veranda.
There is an excellent water supply a
few feet below the surface in that re
gion, and every man has an individual
supply, raised by the windmills.
TIIE small boy had been making- all
the noise that the Fourth of July al
lows, and the young woman who had
been teaching school was in an ex
treme state of nervous agitation. "It's
a good thing that 3-011 don't have to
teach school to-day," said her mother,
consolingly. "It wouldn't be necessary
to teach the 3*oll ng idea how to shoot,"
replied the teacher, ruefully. "Every
Fourth of July demonstrates that he is
perfectly competent to shoot himself."
AT Elgin, 111., a man loaned his rail
road ticket to a newly-married couple
to go on their wedding trip. The
hridegrootn intrusted the ticket to a
friend, and the latter has disappeared.
The bridegroom is threatened with ar
rest if he doesn't produce the ticket at
once, and in the meantime he is looking
for the friend. This pass lending busi
ness very often results in trouble to all
concerned.
IN Washington they are talking of
the latest malapropism b3 r a lady who
has a record in that line. A number of
people were discussing Rev. Dr.
Mackay-Smith before her not long ago,
and somebody said: "Is his name Smith
with Mackay for a middle name, or is
it all one name?" "It's all one name,"
she said, "lie writes it with a siphon."
TIIE biggest fish story this season is
found in the fact that the catch of Co
lumbia river salmon is worth two
million dollars. And it goes unques
tioned, too, uinong those who are fa
miliar with the fish business of the
northwest.

Senator Mitchell's Great Legal
Battle.
THE CASE OF "WRESTLING JOE."
Property Involved That Is Now Worth
More Than #lo,ooo,ooo—Senator Wil
son's Luck, Pluck and Rise to National
Fame.
[Copyright, 1895.]
44 Tho most important and interesting
lawsuit I ever had anything to do with,"
said Senator Mitchell of Oregon, 4 4 was
what was known as tho 4 Wrestling Joo
cast).' It involved an enormous sum of
money and had such extraordinary features
that if it had been tried in New York,
Chicago or London it would have become
as celebrated as tho Tiehborne claimant
caso was a few years ago. It is a long
story and presents a series of lawsuits
rather than a singlo one.
44 1n 1850 congress passed a law granting
public land in tho territory of Oregon to
actuul settlors—32o acres to a singlo man
and 040 acres if married. The masculine
gender was used throughout; no mention
was made of woman. Prior to tho passage
of this law, but in anticipation of it, an
old woman calling herself 4 Mrs. Ca-
FF.NATOH JOHN L. WILSON,
ruthors,' with an unmarried son named
4 Finlco Caruthors,' arrived in Oregon and
settled upon a tract of land of 040 acres,
exactly where the city of Portland now
stands. As tho law required actual resi
dence and cultivation, tho mother and son
drew a lino through the middle of their
tract, throwing 320 acres on one side and
320 on the other. They built a house
which stood right on tho line, and tho
mother lived in ono end of the house and
cultivated her claim, while the son lived
in tho other end and did the same by his
320 acres. At the end of four years both
applied to the land office at Oregon City,
and certificates for the two tracts were is
sued in tho name of the government. They
lived upon tho land for many years, and
no one disputed their possession of it. In
1858 tho woman, who had claimed to he a
widow, died and left her property to her
son. At any rate, ho claimed it as solo
heir. Two years later he died, leaving, as
it was supposed, no heirs, but some debts.
Mr. Silvers, a merchant, was appointed
administrator of tho estate, and as I was
his lawyer it thus chanced that I was
drawn into the caso.
"About this time tho stato of Oregon
put in a claim to tho property under the
law of escheat, it being supposed that
there were no lielrs. Two residents of
Portland, Andrew Knott and Robert
Ladd, having been advised by their attor
neys that 4 Mrs. Caruthors' had no right
under the law to take land, 'jumped' the
property, as we say in tho west—that is,
they proceeded to settle upon it, each tak
ing one-half or 1(H) acres under the home
stead law and applying to the land office
for certificate of patent. I appeared at the
land office and entered protest, nii|} this
was tho beginning of a famous case. I
argued that the title of the old lady was
perfect; that the net of congress should he
construed generously, as are the natural
ization laws; that the words 4 his' and
'him' should be so construed as to include
'she' and 4 her.' The local land office de
cided against me. Certificates were issued |
to Lndd and Knott. I appealed to the
commissioner of the general land office i
here In Washington and was again over
ruled. I carried tho caso to tho secretary of
Interior and met tho same fate with him.
4 4 Not to weary you with legal details,
suit was at onco brought in the state
courts. Tho solo question involved was
whether or not a woman could take a do
nation of land under tho act of congress.
We were beaten here, and in the supremo
court of tho state, but when we Anally
reached the supremo court of tho United
States and asked for an interpretation of
tho law it was deeided in our favor. Tho
women of this day and generation will ho
glad to know that this grout tribunal, by
that decision, placed woman on an equality
with man before tho law.
"You would naturally suppose this to
|he tho end of t license, but it wasn't. In
j fact, wo had only passed the skirmish lino
I of this great legal battle.
I "While thi,s litigation was pending a
citizen of Oregon named Dolpli Hannah
visited the southern states and came hack
with a great number of deeds from divers
persons named 'Caruthors,' and placed
i them on record conveying this property to
him—that is, the whole 640 acres. His
theory was that the old woman Caruthors
, hod never been married; that her son,
Finice, was an illegitimate child, and
therefore could not inherit, and that tho
property descended under tho law to her
collateral lielrs, of which there wero a
great number, as he claimed, and from
those were the deeds ho placed on file.
i 44 About the same time another and the
most important question of all arose. Two
old pioneers residing in Oregon, named
James Moore and Green Davidson, insisted
that the old lady's name was not 'Caruth
j ors,' but 'Thomas.' Their theory was that
i her maiden name was Elizabeth Caruthors,
and hack about 1820 she married a man of
the name of Joseph Thomas in Tennessee;
that this son, Finice, was the fruit of that
, marriage ; t hat Thomas deserted her sliort
| ly afterward; that ho was a well known
character on the levees at St. Louis and
was a great wrestler—an athlete—and was
there known by these men as' Wrestling
Joe;' that he subsequently became a great
mountaineer, bunting and trapping in the
; Kooky mountains, again returning to the
I levees at St. Louis. They said they believed
he was living, and that they could find
hi in. They went back to Missouri, re
turned to Oregon with an old man, then,
, according to their theory, more than 00
| years of age, and asserted that lie was tho
husband of the old woman and as such
was the sole heir to all the property.
"By this time tho other litigation re
ferrod to had boon disposed of. I had per
sonally become quito intimate with the
son, Pinice Corutliors, before his death, in
1860, and had talked with him more or less
about his history. I was satisfied that I
could, by a talk with the old man, deter
mine as to whether he was a fraud or not.
After nearly half a day's conversation with
him, in which I plied him with all manner
of questions, I bocamo fully convinced
that he was the man he claimed to be;
that ho was the husband of Elizabeth
Carutliers.
"I then commenced suit for the property
based on that theory in the circuit court of
the state of Oregon, the solo questions in
volved being whether this old man's name
was Thomas, whether ho was tho man ho
claimed to bo and whether ho had married
tho old woman in Tonnossee. I took testi
mony in several of the southern and west
ern states; some six or eight witnesses
were taken all tho way to Oregon from Il
linois and Missouri. Tho defense in their
answer simplified tho inquiry very much
by declaring not. only that this man was
not Joseph Thomas, but that ho was an
other man, whom they named, giving his
birth and part of his early history. For
tunately I was able to prove that this man
was hanged by a vigilanco committee for
horse stealing in Illinois. Besides the tes
timony was overwhelming to tin? effect
that Joe Thomas was the man ho claimed
to bo.
44 Well, tho jury brought in a verdict fa
vorable to my client. They declared Wres
tling Joe Thomas to be tho real Joe Thomas
and the husband of the early settler of
Portland. It was a famous victory, and
tho property involved in that case is now
worth more than 110,000,000."
He Believes Something In Luck.
John L. Wilson has told mo in his own
way tho story of how he roso from clerk
in tho pension office at Washington to bo
United States senator from tho stato of
Washington. 44 My father was one of tho
leading lawyers of Indiana," said Mr. Wil
son. 44 We lived next door to tho Voorheos
family, and young Voorhees and myself
grew up as chums. Though my father
was a Republican senator, Voorheos pro
cured an appointment as clerk in the pen
sion office for mo. I worked there somo
time, but I am willing to admit I did not
like it. It was drudgery. My superiors in
office, as well as my associates, were kind
and pleasant, but somehow I couldn't get
over the feeling that I was a sort of horso
to bo harnessed up in the morning and
after I had turned out a certain lot of
work was permitted to go and get my feed.
I used to have longings to go west and
start, in for myself. I talked about it to
my fellow clerks. They used to tell mo
the best thing I could do was to let well
enough alone and stick to my comfortable
and very regular salary. I replied that any
man with brains and energy could make
as much in private business as ho could in
the pension office and have more independ
ence. Finally I made up my mind to cut
loose from the pension office altogether.
My friends assured mo I was making a
great mistake and would soon repent my
choice and coino back looking for the old
job. I declared that when I returned to
tho national capital it would bo as a mem
ber of congress. That, was a bluff, pure
and simple. Though I had somo ambi
tions, I must admit I had no idea they
would be realized.
"I could sco very plainly that in order to
havo a fair chance in the west one must
have a profession. So I went to Indiana
and studied lnwwith my undo. While en
gaged at this I was elected a member of
the Indiana legislature. For some reason
I didn't take much interest in the legisla
ture nor in Indiana politics. I suppose it
was because my mind was fixed on going
to the great west . While A member of the
legislature I helped elect Benjamin Har
rison senator, and through Mr. Harrison,
with the help of Colonel Dudley and Sen
ator Voorhoes, I induced President Ar
thur to appoint mo receiver of publio mon
eys at Spokane, Wash. I packed my house
hold goods in ono trunk and went out
there. For four years I was in that ofTieo,
making a good many friends and a mighty
little money. Cleveland removed me. i
When the territory was about to bccomo a i
state, I looked over the field and concluded I
I could win the Republican nomination 1
for congress. I did it and was elected the i
first representative from that state. I sup- !
pose luok lias bad more to do with my rise
than merit. For instance, during there
cent long and bitter senatorial struggle in
our state I had virtually given up the fight.
1 had a letter of withdrawal written and
was about to publish it when some of my
friends induced me to hold on a few days
longer. Meanwhile another man with
drew, and I won. That was luck."

Horsepower of tlio Bicyclist.
A French scientist has recently made
some experiments which show the amount
of forco developed by some of our bicycle
cranks during a lmrd race.
American cyclists have maintained for
two minutes a speed to continue which re
quired the expenditure of energy represent
ing two-thirds of ono horsepower.
For six seconds they were able to exert
the astonishing force of \]4, horsepower.
This is equivalent to raising a weight of
188 pounds a yard in ono second. Experi
ments are also being made to determine
the force exerted by different sports. The
results will bo of great use for training
and hygienic data.
One of the discoveries made during the
calculation of the forco exerted by bicy
clists is that at high speed the work of a
bicyclist in covering a specified distance is
as great as that of a man running the
same distance. At a moderate speed a run
ner undergoes three times the labor of a
bicyclist, but the higher the speed the
nearer are t bo exert ions equalized.—lndus

It is found that dry charcoal, when tlio
heat is removed from it , boing nearly pure
carbon, will absorb oxygen from |bo air
under favorable conditions so rapidly as
to produce active combustion—that is, a
glow or flame. Now, the process of the
origin of a lire from a steam pipe has been
thus explained—viz, the heat from a steam
pipe will in course of time char or carbon
ize wood in contact with or close to it,
and when this charring process extends to
any depth in the wood it presents a sur
face full of fissures and cracks, thus expos
ing a large section to the air, this charring
i driving the oxygen out of the charred por
i tion and keeping it out while the heat is
kept up. Wlion, therefore, the heat is re
moved, the charcoal reabsorbs oxygen from
Uio air, and if the action is rapid enough
\n a dry atmosphere combustion follows.
