Hon. MICHAEL c. Trout, of Sharon,
Mercer county, fell dead in the wash
room of the Mansion House at Mauch
Chunk, Pa, on Wednesday evening
Ofiast week. Accompanied by niece,
he had been participating in the sum
mer excursion of the PENNSYLVANIA Ed
itOrial Association, and had just re-
turned with the party from a trip
around the Switchback, and was in the
act of making his toilet, when he was
stricken by heart disease, and sinking
to the floor, expired almost immedi-
ately. The remains were taken in
charge by the officers of the Associa-
ton, and after being properly pre-
pared and enclosed i'll magnificent
burial casket, were forwarded on the
following morning to his bereaved
friends. Several years ago, Mr.. Trout
represented the Mercer district i'll Con-
gress, and at the Reading convention
last year he was strongly urged for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of this State. He stood high il the
confidence of his party, and as a citi-
zen ma ntained "A pure and unsullied
reputation. His age was about 90
years.

Per cent

4 comparison instituted between the
United States and the North German
Confederation (now Prussia) shows
that the popular impression i'll favor
of the latter being the greatest beer
drinking country in the world is in
correct In the North German Con-
federation the consumption of beer in
1866 was 2l.23 quarts per head, and
the beer tax SOP cents per head. In
this country the consumption of beer
was 25.47 quarts per head, and the tax
81 cents per head. In 1869 the North
Germans consumed 4,7S2,2 ,26l barrels
of beer, and in this country about 5,
S66, 400 barrels were consumed. We
gather from Mr. Schade's address the
surprising fact that the brewing inter
est of this country is even greater than
that of the distilleries. The capital
invested in distilleries is $15,545,116,
and the amount of wages paid by them
per year So, ,O49,S1O. The annual value
of their material is nearly $40 ,O0O,O 900
and their products amount to S36, l9l, :
1873. The breweries and malt houses
are valued at $50, 1876, 6S3; the annual
value of materials, $37, 7,lSO,779, and
the yearly value of their products
$67,723,l5S. The number of hands
employed in the distilleries amounts
to nearly 5000, while the breweries
employ 1908. The foregoing statiS-
tics are interesting, and show at a
glance that the liquor interest in this
country is one of great magnitude and
power, and that the effort to destroy
or eradicate it by Legislation is a mere
delusiOn.

CANADA PACIFIC RAILwAY.-The COL
onist gives the following as the result of
of Mr.. Moberly's survey:
A route on which the grades will at
no point be as heavey as those on the
principal railways of Canada and tie
United States. passing through the val-
leys of the Athabasca, Mcleod and
Pembina, before reaching the great val
ley of the Saskatchewan. We now speak
of the Yellowhead Pass as tie one most
likely to be adopted. Along the entire
route surveyed, the country is we'll
adapted for sustaining population, es-
pecially on the Valley of the Athabasca,
right in the heart Of the Rocky Noun
tains. where the soil is fertile and pro-
duces the richest grasses to be found in
the country. 1t may be stated that here
the pack animals were turned out in
poor condition, on the 18th January,
and in two months we're in good con-
dition to resume work.

70 Nine. Laura Agnes Stevenson
will give one of her inimitable musical
and dramatic entertainments at the Pa :
vilion on Saturday evening, at the re-
duced rate of so cents admission. ALI
who heard this lady on Tuesday evening
were not only delighted, but astonished
at her accomplishments not only as q
prima donna of the first order, but an
actress Of the most bewitching powers;
beautiful in person and charming in ad.
dress. She came here unheralfed and
unknown, poorly advertised, badly man
aged, and as an inevitable consequence,
has heretofore failed to attract the at
tention and patronage which she most
Justly merits. We volunteer these sug-
gestions solely on our own responsibili-
ty, as an act of simple justice to wor-
thy artist who we believe richly deserves
better public appreciation Of her mer-
its than she has heretofore received
frem our citizens. We hope the attend
ance on Saturday night will assure this
worthy lady that the people of Seattle
are not wanting in good taste.

ed with every variety of animated saus-
age that morning before breakfast, and
besides, with two or three sound grounds
for suits against him for assaults, We VIII

STEAMER LINE.-A letter from one of
the managers of the Seattle Coal Com,
pany, in San Francisco, to one Ct the
large stockholders in this city, says the
present assessment upon the stock is for
the purpose of raising money to build
two propellors to ply regularly between
Seattle and San Francisco, for the trans
portation of coal especially, and for
freight and passengers generally. There
is no public enterprise more needed at
the present time and none that prom
ses to pay better. A passenger from
San FraI cisco on the last trip of the
Prince Alfred, informs US that not less
than three fourths of the passengers
we're for Sound ports.

the time of leaving Wisconsin, we were
an active member of the Farmers
League, organized expressly to defend
the rights Of the people against railroad
swindles. We maintained precisely the
position there we do here. Among all
the attacks made upon our character by
the mean and cowardly recourse of hired
libellers, not a single direct specification
or proof has ye. been offered to convict
us of an offence against law or social
order. Agents of the Ring have threat
ened us with personal violence. 1t is
quite as brave and manly to employ an
assassin to defend their cause as it is to
employ the services of vagabond and

PERsoNAL.-Unfortnnately for COM
munity there is prevailing disposition
to credit every personal scandal that is
not promptly rebutted. without regard
to the source from whence it comes or
the social standing of the object Of the
attack. This is our only apology for
noticing the gross and malicious charges
made against us by implication through
the special organ Of Gen. Sprague and
the Land ring, for the purpose of dis
crediting our e1positions of the rascality
of the latter. The worthless vagabond
who is employed to besiime US derives
his sole claim to recognition outside of
the prisoners box in police court,
from his employers, who find dirty tools
necessary to their disreputable practices.
The principals, and not the agent, are
responsible for the vile falsehoods which
they buy and pay for, for public circu-
Iation. To the stale charges of disloy-
atty and aiding, countenancing. or in
any manner associating with any organ
ization or individual in hostility to the
Government, there is not existing, and
never did exist, the least evidence, in
any act, writing, publication or express
sion of ours which has ever been given
to the public, and neither the military
or civil authorities, or any reputable
citizen has ever made any such charges
against US. They originated solely with
the lowest denizens of the city slums,
from whence Gen. Sprague procured his
editor.
The charge that we were ever in any
manner associated with any railroad
ring or combination, or implicated in
any way in any attempt to swindle farm
.rs, is equally groundless. The railroad
in which we were director never took
any farm mortgages. and the only other
road in which we had any stock, bilked
us out of farm appraised at $4,000,
mortgaged to aid in the construction of
q railroad. For some time before and
