New YORK, Oct. 2O.-The Chinese
exclusion bill will take some revenue
from the Michigan Central and Grand
Trunk railways. AS both these lines
Cross the Canadian frontier, the Chinese

Western points. When Cinnamon go

tickets, they insist on going by way of
Pittsburgh, and cannot be induced to

which run in connection with the Grand

Chinese wishing TO keep as far away

don't have the fat offices and Uncle
Sam foots the bills. Il have helped
bring TWO states into this beloved Union

Gen. SANK

was young man named WATERMAN,
who had reduced the science of cheap
living to an exactneSs that has not
often been equaled where food was
obtainable. 1t was quite common then
for young men ambitious of higher
education to pay their way by such
work as they could get, OF teaching
during parts of the year. This young
man established a cuisine and harder
for himself alone, and the only edibles
he provided were mush and cheap
mOlasses. zach he bought in consider
able quantity, and his entire cxpendi-
ture for provisions ranged from to 10
cents per week. At one time he sub
sisted full month on 10 cents worth
OF the articles named. But no friends
were invited to share his hospitality,
and the success was not so marked as
to excite rivalry. 1t was cheap living,
but the result showed that the menu
was not sufficiently varied for vigor-
Gus condition of the physical system.
The incident, however. had value as
illustrating economic possibilities.

The Great Strike.

The strike of the Reading Railroad
employees has been as dismal a failure
as their cause VAS unjust. Those EN-
ployees who had the good judgement to
not strike because a firm not connect
ell with the railroad, except its being
a patron, did not pay its employees la
Dor union wages, was wise, especially
when they saw the positions of the
few hundred who did strike being
filled at once. The walking delegates
who engineered the strike did more
towards the dissolution of the knights
of Labor organization than they did
good to the members. One Of the
strongest Assemblies in Phil adelphia
disbauded and others left the order.
Those who struck will not think them
selves 81 smart as they did when their
food supply gets low before spring.
The strike of the Reading coal
miners is entirely separate from the
Railroad strike. The railroad had the
favors of the people in the first but
in the latter its usefulness as common
carrier is being impaired by paralyz-
ing business and makes it a question
whether the railroad is entitled to con-
demnation for not offering to aIbitrate
with the miners. Last September the
Reading Co. gave them 8 per cent. ad-
vance in their wages and promised to
continue to pay them as much as others
paid. AS the company refused to con
tinue the S per cent. advance in
wages, which others are laying,
only five of the forty collieries OF the
Reading Co. resumed OIL Tuesday. 1t
is estimated that from Is, 900 to 10000
miners are out and it is only a ques
ton of time when thousands of other
men will nave to stop work in factor
les when the coal famine, which now
threatens, comes about. However, If
the company cannot afford the advance
1t is bad grace in the miners to refuse
what they a get for their labor and
bring suffering on thousands of others.
They will find it so as others strikers
have. AS a consequence of the strike
coal in Phila. has ADVANCED to 81 per
Bon retail. ,

many address delivered was one most
interesting by Prof. A. G. Apgar Oh

made al eloquent plea for common

gave instances Of the result of deyot-
ing attention altogether to mere book

were amusing. Out of the seventy

OF Prof. Apgar's illustrations related

that the circumference of the earth

ones, could h. repeated with much the

Utah is knocking at the doors of

The Molmons are being pushed hard
by the enforcement of the Edmund's

need the control Of theirow State af-

They have drawn up a state constitu-

granted by Congress. The noted con-
stitntional lawyer Geo. Ticknor Curtis
is employed to push their cause and he
claims this removes the immoral
stigma of their religion and the best
reason against admitting the territory
of M0rmondon to Statehood. This
may appear all right on the surface,
but what does a clause in the state ron
stitution amount to If the people, who
are given the power to enforce it on
themselves, think it wrong and are OPP
posed to it in their religious belief.
The auti-polygamy clause in the on
stitution of Utah would not be worth
the paper it was written on when the
Mormons are allowed full control OF
their own affairs. After Utah is adj
mitted to Statehood the U. S. govern.
ment will have no power to bother
with the States affairs and the Nor
mon hierarchy will reign supreme as
IN years past. Utah can wait with
some other territories.
