The Gas business in Berlin.

The city of Berlin. Germany, makes
her own gas and sells it to the con-
sumner at a comparatively very low
rate. But, in spite of the low price.
the gas business. according to the re-
port just published by the municipal
ity for the twelve months 1892, yields
considerably more than $1,000, 900 a
year to the municipal treasury. And
that profit is realized after supplying
all the streets and squares of the city
with light by means of either gas OF
electricity or oil.

APPALLING Loss OF LIFE.

Destructiveness of the Recent Earthquake
In China = Fifteen Thousand Persons
Killed and Many Towns In Utter Ruin.
RECENT cable dispatches bring some further
particulars of the great earthquake in China
just before Christmas, which proves to have
been Of appalling magnitude.
Fifteen Thousand people perished In the
course Of four days, during which at uncertain
intervals the shock continued. This estimate
is to some extent supposititious, because it was
scarcely possible after so tremendous a vista
ton to ascertain the exact loss OF
life. How many have been injured
appears TO defy computation yet. The
capital district of Yunnan is absolutely one
mass OF ruins More than 5000 persons were
killed by the fall Of houses at Lam. At other
Chinese towns the effect ON buildings was al
most as terrible, with the additional horror Of
tho earth yswning till frighttul chasm was
produced, from which water OF red color was
elected. The shaking of the earth seems to
have been followed by subterranean convul-
sions of the most fearful kind. Further north,
at Lo Chan, where 10000 met their DOOM the
aspect OF the country has been completely
changed. Large tracts Of land suddenly dis
appeared in the course of the visitation and in
their place lakes formed.

CRISIS OF THE STRIKE.

The Burlington Becomes Aggressive-A
General Tie-up Apprehended.
THE phases of the great railroad strike
have materially changed during the last forty
eight hours, says Chicago telegram OF
Monday
Instead Of being the attacked party the Bur-
lington Company has assumed the aggressive
and is bringing the troubles to crisis by de-
manding an Interchange Of business with other
roads. This policy, il continued, is almost GER
tain to precipitate strikes in more OF the local
yards. Fears are expressed at Milwaukee,
Wis, that strikes will be ordered on Northern
and Eastern railways At st. Paul, MINI night
crews on the railroads are reporting for duty,
but are liable to quit ut any moment. Chief
Arthur of the Engineers Brotherhood was in
terviewed at Cleveland, Ohio, and spoke Of q
harmonious prospect. At Pittsburg, Pa the
Pennsylvania Company's officials are not ham
ding 20" freight, and every effort is being
made to prevent the strike from spreading to
their line contemplated. At Omaha, Neb.,
there is a good deal Of malicious interference
with the Burlington and Missouri freight cars.
Forty Burlington switchmen went out at Bur
hngton, Iowa, apparently without reason.

PowDeRLY AND TRUSTS.
Views That Are Wholly Irreconcilable to
Those Of MIR. Blaine.

Views That Are Wholly Irreconcilable to
Those of MIR. Blaine.
1t has generally been understood
that Mr.. Powderly, General Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor,
has cherished a particular admiration
for Mr.. Blaine, and he certainly did all
he could to promote Blaine's election
in 1884. Various of his utterances
also have conveyed the impression
that Mr.. Powderly favors the pro-
tective system; he being one of the
victims of the Republican delusion that
it is in the interests of labor. Upon
one vital point, however, Mr.. Pow
derly is in harmony neither with MIR.
Blaine nor with the other advocates of
protection. He appeared as witness
before the committee which is now
conducting in New York City an in
The Colfax chronicle., 1888-11-10

investigation of pauper or assisted i'm
migration. In the course of his ex-
animation, the following highly in
teresting and significant dialogue oc-
CURED:
In reply to question from General Spmola,
Mr.. Powderly said that trusts in this country
are q menace to the welfare OF the public gen.
orally and are organized In the interests of q
few to control the output limit the production
and smother small aggregations OF capital In
the same business or crush them out entirely.
He had personal knowledge Of coal trusts and
knew that an individual concern could no more
ship coal to this city from Pennsylvania than q
man could fly. He thought the strong arm OF
the law should be outstretched to crush out
this evil
''Then you do not agree" said Mr.. Oates
that trusts are private concerns which legis-
lators have no right to controlf'
Decidedly not" said Mr.. Powderly. I'VE
regard them in the same way that we do high
vaymen."
s'You think, then, that these trusts are detri-
mental to the general interests Of the couu-
tryr' asked Mr.. Spnola.
"They are, and should be wiped out Of exist
snce as speedily as possible"
Mr.. Blaine pretends that the Repub-
lican campaign for the maintenance
of protection is in the interests Of
American labor. In the speech in
which he sounded the keynote of this
campaign he said: TRUSTS are large
ly private affairs, with which neither
President Cleveland nor any private
citizen has any right to interfere. "
Mr.. Powderly, who stands at the head
of the greatest labor organization the
world has known, and who may be
presumed to know what is to the ad-
vantage of labor, takes square issue
with Mr.. Blaine ON this point and says:
We regard them (trusts) in the same
way that we do highwaymen," and
adds that they are detrimental to the
general interests of the country, and
should be wiped out Of existence as
speedily as possible" by law.
These two views on trusts are wholly
irreconcilable. Let the laboring-men
of the country, who are the parties
chiefly interested, consider carefully
which, from their point of view, is the
most worthy of credence and of being
followed, Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Powderly.

TARIFF is A TAX.

The Old Roman Speaks In Words That
Can Not Be Misunderstood.
Allen g. Thurman is q Democrat Of
Democrats. He has never wavered in
his devotion 10 the principles or in his
support of the fit candidates of his
party.
The sturdy old veteran has taken the
stump for the Democracy, and the first
resounding blast that accompanied the
waving Of his red bandana was peal
for tax reduction through tariff re
form.
Judge Thurman Is an honest and
fearless man as well as q Democrat
He would sc0rn to win an electiGs by
false pretenses. He would rather be
defeated standing squarely upon the
principles of his party than to try and
sneak into Office by pretending to be
just little less. Republican than the
Republicans on the main issue before
the country.
IA tariff Is tax" "This tax L.
paid by the consumer Of the article"
{" How can laboring man be aided by
q tax that begins with the crown Of
his head and extends to the soies of
his feet and taxes every thing that is
between thems" How can q coun-
try be made rich by taxing its people
unnecessarily" Restore the surplus
to the pockets Of the people who earn
it."
These are the key-notes OF the Old
Romans speeches. Compare them
with Mr.. Blaine's puerility that wages
can not be reduced without the la
borer's q vote and consent" and with
his defense Of trusts.-M =. World
