railroad companies, that now charge
them 4 times more freight on peaches
than corn and propose to charge 8 times
more on empty baskets than on corn.--
The very anxiety of the railroad company
to make the proposed change, ought to
warn all sensible men that this anxiety
to change the system of freighting peaches
never originated in the breasts of railroad
men only for their oton advantage. Com
mon sense teaches business man to
take care of his own interest first in all
cases, and the complacent peach growing
fool who will lay down on his back, and
shut his eyes and open his mouth for
what the railroad gods will send him,
think will wake up suddenly with the
taste of gall and worm-wood in his mouth
l do not, while l have my natural senses,
propose to take that dose from any rail
road official or other person. The fact is
we old peach growers have went through
all or great amount of bosh from peach
fledelings at our old Dover association
and that association built up the peach
business and established the present char
ter car system, and when the new be.

FAREWELL, my DEAR PITKINy

Notwithstanding the eloquent pro-
tests of the Louisiana carpet-baggers,
the gentlemen of the returning board
and the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler
let us not forget that-the President
has removed Mr. Marshal Pitkin and
signed Colonel Wharton's commission
as hts successor. In this matter, which
| it must be confessed has been full of
vexation from the first, Mr.. Hayes has
displayed even more prominently
than usual the virtue he is pleased to
call "amiable stubbornness," and his
final decision deserves-to be applauc
ed as conciliatory in spirit and wise
in the effect it is likely to have on
Louisiana politics. 1t ia true that be-
tween Pitkin and Wharton personally
there is not any striking difference of
character. and that both are republi.
cans by affiliation and interest, but 1t
should, be remembered that the former
not only used his Office to enforce the
policy of violence which Chandler
and Packard planned, but refused
when that was replaced with the poll
cy of peace To accept the new dispen-
sation, and in his letter to Butler CO.
verify ranged himself with its most
bitter opponents. Principles aside, he
could not expect to to retain office un-
der an administration with which he
was confessedly not in harmony,
Wharton, on the other hand, although
steadfast supporter of the Packard
government, while it lasted, has had
the good sense not only to accept the
situation, but TO join heartily in the
effort to make the new policy suc3
cess. He enjoys besides what Pltkin
never received, the respect of both
parties in his state, and it is possible
to believe that under his administra-
tion the marshal's office will not here
after be used as politscal machine
for the,manufacture of negro riots and
disfranchising of white voters. Tally
one more instance of ''black ingrati-
tude" on the part of Mr.. Hayes, and
one more office rescued from the
clutch of the carpet-baggers.-Balti-
more Gozette.

The first steam engine was intro


The first steam engine was intro
duced in France in 1889. On account
of the Revolution and the consequent
check Of industrial enterprise, the
manufacture of steam engines by
French workmen did not assume much
Importance until 1824s The number of
stationary engines had increased in
1852 to 5000 representing $4,000 regis
tered horse power; and now they rep
resenting 61S,000 registered horse
power; and now the represent $40, 900
registered, or 4,500, 900 actual horse
power, doing the work of 81 600, 900
men, ,orof nearly ten times the available
mechanical industrial population of
the country. In 1888 the cost of man
ual labor in manufactured products
was 60 per cent, the raw material
costing 40 per cent. Now these pro-
portions are reversed, the annual pro-
duction being about $4,000, 900 900
francs. There is, therefor, an annual
saving of 5000. 100000 frances in con-
sequence of the use of steam engines
and improvements in machinery.

Moukhtar Pasha has only about 35,-
600 men under his command, of which
10000 constitute the right wing at
Deli Baba. The left wing, 6 900 strong
is at Gurdchi, six miles from Erze-
roum. The Pasha himself with 1000,
holds an advanced position at Keupri'
koi. The two wings of the advancing
Russian force consist of 10000 men
and 4S1 guns, while the main body
musters so, 900 and 156 guns, a total
of $4,000 soldiers and 637 pieces of
cannon. Should he make rally at
Erzeroum he will find himself con-
fronted by at least 100, 200 men. He
is in danger of being envsloped aud
annihilated. The loss of all Armenia
seems inevitable. The two citadels of

of Trebizond in their possession, the
Russians will never surrender again

lowing: .--.--..
"Mr. Sherman expressed opinions
on the silver question to-day that will
be genuine surprise to people who
have been confidently counting upon
him to influence the administration to
to adhere rigidly to the gold standard.
He said shat the newspapers in repre-
senting him as opposed to the remone-
tizatiop of silver do not state his posi-
tion correctly. He is in favor of max
ing silver legal tender for all pur>
pose for which United States notes are
now legal tender; but he is opposed
to legislation legalizing the use of sil-
yer in payments of customs duties or
for any other purposes for which
greenbacks may not now be lawfully
employed. The Secretary said that he
has not changed his views on this sub
ject in any respect, but that his opin-
ions are the same as were avowed in
his speech on the financial question
delivered at Marietta, Ohio, during the
late Presidential campaign. Upon the
doctrines then announced he now
stands. They are, he said, in harmony
with his action in the Senate"

Gen. Garfield and the Colorado

Tho Democratic papers are most unjustly
eriticizing Gen. GARFIELD for what they al
lege to be bad faith on his part in voting for
Mr. CoNs resolution to send the Colorado case
back to the people. At the time ho gave the
vote Gen. GARFIELD explained that he had
paired with Mr.. WApDELL, of North Caro-
lima, on the direct question of seating
Mr BELroRD or Mr.. PATTERSON, but that ho
had specially reserved the right to vote on Mr..
CoX's resolution. An explanation like this
made in open II Juse is never questioned among
gentlemen, and the Democratic press must be
hardpushod for cause of complaint against Mr..
GARFIELD if it can find nothing but this. In
the House, on Saturday, Mr.. WADDELL's col
league, Mr.. YEATEs pronounced these criti-
cisms most unjust, for Mr.. WADDELL said that
Mr. GARFIELD had distinctly refused to pair
with him on that question. And now will the
