Local Industrial Notes.
The extensive brass works at Rlooin-
Ington, Illinois, will come to town on
condition that they be given the uso of
100 %cres of land and 850,000. Good
security for the money and land Is
promised. The works employ 2,000 men.
The reason forrequlringso much ground
is their intention to soil It to the em
ployes and have them live near the mills.
M. Schwahe will donate a large plot
of land in South llcb Tton to any worthy
industry desiring to locate here. He
will also invest a good round sum in any
first-class plant, if money Is needed to
bring it to town.
The success following the overall fac
tory and silk mill, which are steadily In

which will omploy male labor.

School Hoard Oiutnl.
The petition presented by the citizens
of Centralia asking that their school
board be ousted was heard before Judge
Herring on Tuesday. He handed down
a decision ousting the present board and
appointing in their stead six other direc
tors. The trouble arose two years ago,
when Profossor J. 11. Eisenhower was
contracted with to act as principal of
the borough schools for throe years.
He taught one year, when a new board
was elected, who refused to recognize
the action of the former board and ap
pointed another principal.
Mr. Elisenhower brought suit for tho
year's salary and obtained judgment.
He applied for the position again this
this year, when tho board again refused
to appoint him. The school**, which
should have been opened September 1,
were kept closed until the present time
while the question was argued pro aud
con. The citizens became tired of this
and last Saturday petitioned the court
to oust the board and appoint their
successors, which was done.
Tendered a Farewell Supper.
Several of tho friends of Peter J.
Hailey, manager of the Guarantee Cloth
ing Company's store, tendered him a
farewell supper at DePlerro Pros.' cafe
on Tuesday evening. A Hue table was
spread and tho boys did justice to tho
season's dolicacies, aftor which tho
night was spent in an appropriate man
ner. During Mr. Hailey's stay in town,
less than a year, ho won tho friendship
of a large circle of poople, and his de
parture, which was due to a change in
his firm's business, was sincerely regret
tod. He left yesterday for Hethlehem,
taking with him the good wishes of the
community for his futuro success.

TREASURY BALANCES
Their Manipulation In Debauchery of
Our Politics—How a Beneficent Dem
ocratic Law Operated to the Profit of
the People and Was Surreptitiously
Set Aside by the Machine —The Proof
That Democrats, Wlien They Are In,
Do Ileal Deform Work.
The state treasury balances, whether
real or fictitious, have never since 188S
fallen below $3,687,035 and have gone
as high as $6,679,854. According to the
reports of the auditor general and state
treasurer they have been, for the last
ten years, as follows :
1888 $3,687,035.65
1889 3,969,587.53
1890 4,426,645.45
1891 6,679,854.55
1892 6,000.644.95
1893 5,830,308.07
1894 5,014,642.18
1895 3,429,654.07
1896 5,062,604.19
1897 5,136,700.02
Average $4,923,767.66
These are the balances at the end of
each fiscal year. The monthly balances
are approximately the same. No money
is kept in the treasury. It is all In the
banks. Here we have, therefore, an
average of about $5,000,000 constantly
in the favored fiscal institutions. This
is so large a proportion of the total re
sources of many of them that financiers
say a sudden withdrawal of the whole
line would create something like a
panic. Indeed, that reason has more
than once been put forward to stay re
forms Intended to prevent the carrying
of such balances, by cutting down taxes
when the balances have been real, or
requiring that the money be paid out
when they are manufactured. When
banks are without adequate money re
sources of their own, depositing with
them ceases to be safe.
It is notorious that the machine has
been In large part maintained from in
terest privately paid on the deposits
to its leaders. Smedley Darlington, of
the collapsed West Chester bank, open
ly admits that he paid such interest,
and glories in it.
Responding most reluctantly to popu
lar protests against the outrage and de
mand that -It cease, the legislature of
1897 passed the act requiring the pay
ment of lVfe and 2 per cent interest to
the state.
The state treasurer selects the de
positories with the approval of the
board of revenue commissioners. The
members of this board are the auditor
general (Quay machlnlte) the state
treasurer (Quay machinite) and the sec
retary of the commonwealth (the head
of the Martin machine). And since
most of the depositories are with the
Quay machine, it will be seen that that
machine has everything in connection
with this business nicely within its own
control.
The best possible proof that this mat
ter of the state balances has been a
source of unusual profit to the favored
banks, and that they have been willing
contributors to the support of the ma
chine, in return for the favor of the
deposits, abides In the fact that no
word of open protest has been made
against the new law (which went into
operation on the first Monday In May of
this year, 1898) and that there is almost
as urgent a call on their part, to be per
mitted to continue as depositories as
ever. Possibly the law will curtail to
some extent the machine gain there
from, and that of the individual bene
ficiaries. Rut the money is worth to
the banks that carry it more than the
1% and 2 per cent they are required
to pay for its use, and it may be safely
assumed that the machine leaders are
not unaware thereof. There are stories
current In Harrisburg and elsewhere
that banks have paid, as bonus to those
acting as intermediaries to secure de
posits, sums In excess of IV4 and 2 per
cent. And, while it might be some
what difficult to legally prove these al
legations, no one familiar with the do
ings "on the Hill" of recent years can
be found to doubt their accuracy.
It is the boast of the machine lead
ers that the state has never been to any
serious extent a loser through the fail
ure of banks carrying state deposits.
Where such failures hdve occurred the
loss is alleged to have fallen upon the
treasurers and their bondsmen, or upon
the wealthy machine politicians who
have afterwards felt it Incumbent upon
them, or been in effect compelled, to
make the treasurers and bondsmen
good. The act of 1897 inaugurates a
new order of things in this connection.
Section 4 of the act provides that the
state treasurer."shall not be held perso
nally liable for any moneys that may
be lost by reason of the failure or in
solvency of any bank, banking institu
tion or trust company, selected as
aforesaid." Hereafter, therefore, burst
on banks, if there be InsiifllHonrv in

the bank's bonds or default in their
bondsmen, will mulct the treasury and
the people instead of the treasurers.
The act referred to is a concession to
popular opinion created largely by
Democratic platforms. Democratic
newspapers and Democratic stump ora
tors, but it is far from being as safe
for and profitable to the state as was
an act originating with the Democrats
in 1883, and passed by the legislature
of that year and approved by the then
governor, Robert E. Pattlson. That act
was known as the Humes' sinking fund
net,and provided that when state bonds
were not to be had the surplus moneys
in the sinking fund should be invested
in United States bonds. It was the cus
tom in those days to carry the big end
of the balances in the sinking fund,
presumably because, when moneys go
into that fund, there is no legal way of
getting them out again, except to pay
the state's bonded debt, and having
large sums there insured large sums for
distribution among the banks. There
were about $2,500,000 then In the sink
ing fund, and not quite as much in the
general fund. Senator Humes (Demo
crat) the father of the act, pointed out
that $2,000,000 of the sinking fund bal
ance, which was not needed to take up
bonds, could be utilized to save the state
during the term the bonds then out
standing had to run from one to three
and a half millions. The bill was fierce
ly fought by the retainer,s of the Re
publican machine in both houses, and
did not pass the lower body until the
night before the adjournment, when it
did not have a single vote to spare.
However, as already stated, it was
signed by Governor Pattlson and be
came a law. For eight years It remain
fd in operation, and It is the testimony,
both of those who had to do with the
execution of the act and of the books,
that it operated largely to the advan
tage of the treasury. It brought the
state considerably more than 1% or 2
per cent on its moneys that would oth
erwise have been farmed out to the
banks gratis, and it involved absolute
ly no possibility of loss.
Its repeaf*was not actual, but vir
tual. It was not manly, but tricky,
after the manner of all the doings of
the machine. In 1891 legislation was
had largely lessening the flow of money
into the sinking fund, so that there re
mained in that fund practically nothing
to be Invested under the Humes act.
This was not because the balances car
ried were any less. In fact, they were
larger In that year and the year fol
lowing than ever before or since. But
they were kept mainly In the general
fund, and the bs nlcs got them again,
and the machine treasury and the ma
chlneitos reveled correspondingly.
Here we have the convincing proofs
that, when the Democrats are in, they
do real reform work, and that the
great ado recently made in so-called
independent reform circles touching the
debauchery of our politics through ma
nipulation of the state deposits is a
very old story to the workers of the
Democratic party.

nects with a blower down in the vessel.
When the dispeller is in use, the
blower sends a powerful stream of air
up through the pipe into the tube, and
the current hurtles into the fog, bor
ing a hole throug'h It, as it were.
The action of the suspended moisture
is twofold. The fog is rolled back in
every direction, the high pressure of
the blast produces a cooling influence,
the moisture in suspension condenses
and falls in rain. A great cone of
clear atmosphere, with its apex at the
mouth of the tube, results.
The eye of the pilot is at the glass
at the rear of the tube, and he gazes
into the bowels of the fog. With its
aid a pilot can readily pick up his
buoys in a fog, and keep an eye out
for vessels ahead.
With a powerful blower, the invent
or hopes to make the fog-dispeller use
ful at 1,000 feet.
No claims is made that the dispeller
would be practical except when .the
vessel is going at a slow rate of speed,
which is customary when there is fog
gy weather.
Bow a Peanut Vlu.li.-U the Tiger.
A story is told, in La France du
Nord, about a Cossack, ignorant of
the French language and equally
ignorant of fear, who was hired,
at Moscow, by the lion-tamer,
Pezon, to clean the cages of his
wild beasts, says Emily Mayer
Higgins, in Lippincott's Mugazlno.
Their understanding, or misunder
standing, was arranged by means
of gestures and dumb show, as that
unfortunate Tower of Babel hindered
intelligible speech, and Pezon thought
that the man thoroughly understood
what he had to do. The next morn
ing the Tartar began his new duties
by entering, with bucket, sponge and
broom, not the cage of a tame beast,
as his master had done, but of a
splendid, untamed tiger. The fierce
animal fixed his eyes upon the man,
who calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and to approach the tiger.
At this moment Pezon appeared
upon the scene, and was struck with
horror. Any sound or motion upon
his part would intensify the danger by
rousing the beast to fury; so he quiet
ly waited till the need should arise to
rush to the man's assistance.
The moujlk, sponge in hand, ap
proached the animal, and, perfectly
fearless, proceeded to rub him down,
as if he had been a horse or dog;
while the tiger, apparently delighted
by the application of cold water, roll
ed over on his back, stretched out its
paws, and, purring, offered every part
of his body to the Cossack, who
washed him as complacently as a
mother bathes her infant. Then he
left the cage, and would have repeated
the hazardous experiment upon anoth
er savage from the desert had not Pe
zon drawn him off. with difficulty.
