Es- Buying coal by the bucket or basketful is
very dear way of keeping the stove warm. To
prove this to his satisfaction a Philadelphia
Record reporter shoveled and measured a ton of
COAL and found that the poor of that city who are
compelled to buy their coal by the bucket and
basketful pay $3.50 per ton for it. So that the
poor family, which cannot afford to get ton or
half-ton at time, is compelled to pay 100 per
cent. for the privilege of purchasing from hand to
mouth. But then if the poor man cannot raise
money to buy ton at one time, what is he to do
but purchase it by the bucketful He can't afford
to freeze and starye, and of course must submit to
the sellers exorbitant charges, the dealer who
takes advantage of the poor mans heIplessneSs
and necessities

In Favor of the Whipping Post.

The New York Commercial Advertiser is ia
favor of Mr.. Berghs bill for establishing the
startling declaration
ain our best society, it is declared that a large
number Of women, and many of these delicate and
timid, submit to this treatment because ashamed
to unmask the brutality of their husbands to the
world"
If these abused wives do not now "unmask the
brutality of their husbands" when the punishment
is no more serious degrading than fine or
reprimand, is it to be presumed they will elbow on
them" when they be tied up to a stake and
whipped? Those women who have not yet reach
ed that goal to which the female heart is SO prone
to aspire "the best society" may pause and re-
fleet whether it is worth while to continue their
efforts to reach it, since wife beating seems to
rank among the fashionable" amusements of the
upper ton"

re- The next U. S. Senate is going to be closer
than it has been for years. Should Republican
be elected from Pennsylvania in time to partici-
pate in the organization, the parties will stand 81
to 81, with the rotund Davis and the doubtful Ma
hone as uncertain forces. Should these two divide,
the Senate would still stand tie, leaving the decs-
i've vote with the VICE President. Such condition
of the influential body makes the position of the
independents" very important, and enables them
to dicker their influence with immense personal
advantage. There may be corruptive possibilities,
and no doubt are, among stalwart partizans, but
for opportunity for "bargain and sale," the indie
pendent, who can drop on either side of any ques-
ton and claim patriotic merit for doing it, holds
full hand in the play for plumber. Whenever a
man in office represents nothing but himself, be
sure that he is going TO keep sharp look out for
the interests of his constituent.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company has paid $S6,O0O,O 900 in death claims,
endowments, dividends of surplus and surrender
values to its policy holders and their representa-
tives. 1t has resisted the payment of less than
one and one-twentieth per cont. of the amount of
death and endowment claims brought against 1t,
and then only in cases where the plain duty of its
officers required such action for the protection of
living and honorable members. It's policy IS as
sure protection to the wie and children Of Il mem
Der as mould be an equal amount inrested in the
bonds of the United States, and is within the reach
of the humblest man, who might not live to save
the amount to purchase the bonds. The ratio of
expense Of management to receipts of this compa-
ny is 81 per cent, being less than half that of the
average of all the companies in the United States,
and the lowest of any. No new specious plans
of policies are issued; genuine, pure and simple
life and endowment insurance only is furnished,
on sound male lives, at the lowest possible cost.

Tales of q Traveller.

Unquestionably the sharpest pair of eyes (says
the Washington Starr that ever left the United
States on a sightseeing tour those of &C. C."
the correspondent of a prominent Baltimore paper,
now writing letters of travel for that journal In
late letter to it, giving account of his ascent
of the great pyramid near Cairo, and what lie saw
from the top of that structure, he sOberly says:
"After getting little breath I looked around
at the amazing panorama On all hands was
stupendous desoation or else oriental magnfcence.
Cairo with its gittering forest Of spires, and the
melancholy Nile, with fringe of picturesque viii
lagos, were near at hand. Farther off L caught
faint glmpses of the ruins Of Thebes and Minieh,
BENZ Hassan, Stout, Deaerah, Luxor and other
relics of antiquity at my feet was the Sphinx
on the horizon, the great Libyan Desert"
Taking the places named in the order he ar
ranges them, their distances from the pyramid, in
the direct line of vision, as follows Memphis,
Is miles Thebes, 80 miles Minieh 100 miles
Beni-H assan, $50 miles; Stout, 200 miles; Den
derah, 275 miles; Luxor, 80 miles. The air of
of Egypt must be wonderfully dry and pure if all
persons who have been there are to be believed,
but when this great advantage is offset by the fact
that the point of view on top of the pyramid is
only about $50 feet high; thatal the points named
lie in the low valley of the Nile, and that high
ranges of hills Intermediates, for example,
lying behind mountain spur something over 2,
600 feet in height-one cannot resist the conclus-
ion that the correspondents glimpse Of most of
them must have been decidedly faint. The story
reads much like one an Englishman might write
home of seeing Rockville, Harper's Ferry, Cum
berland, Wheeling, Pittsburg and Cleveland from
the dome of the Capitol in Washington.

fling at us too. After copying from the Sun its
reference to Towsonport, The Farmer says:-
"They had better petition Congress for an income
tax in order that the ship of Justice may land at
Towsonport and compel the tax-s hrkers to step up
to the captains office and pay their fair proportion
of taxes. "-Bahimore County Onion.
No, Brother Longnecker, the fling was intended
for Baltimore City's fugitive tax deinquents" who
are constantly welding their pens and influence
against the producers of this country; and We be-
lieve that unjust burdens and unjust taxation are
not in accord with the principles of free govern
ment, and "the doctrine of non resistance against
arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, stdush,
and Obstructive of the good and happiness of man
kind" every person in the State, person
holding property therein, ought to contribute his
proportion of public taxes for the support of the
government, according to his actual worth in real
or personal property" When men in New York,
Maryland and Virginia, owning millions, con-
tribute their fair proportion of taxes the producers
and toiers i'll respect their conversation in re-
gard to honor and honesty.
