A NATIVE OF Bohem ia living In New
York writes 10 the papers an indignant an.
swer to articles which have recently sp-
peared CHASING his countrymen with the
most degraded class OF foreigners in New
York. He says that there Is not one Czsch
employed az rag picKer,a as described; that
they do not live in boarding houses or labor
under contract in coal mines and iouudries ;
that their language Is not conglomeration
but purely and distinctively their own and
with an extensive literature, In fact To
most effectuslly rebuKes the dense ignor.
suce and nsrrowness OF the man who at.
tempted to tell New Workers all about the
Czechs. Every reader OF history knows
that their mother country, Bohemia, is
called the treasury of Austria, famous for
the high standard OF education and inteili-
gence, famous for the great University OF
Prague, the ancient nursery Of scholars,
Te'ormers and statesmen. But this New
York Czsch brings out some interesting
facts respecting his countrymen Ia that city.
There are $4,000 OF them, nearly all OF the
poorest class, because only those will leave
Bohemia who are forced TO do SO and can
get enough together to pay for the journey.
Too many people TO the square mile, enor.
moas taxation and government oppression
cause them to emigraie. They are artisans,
carpenters, shoemakers, watchmskers,
tsilors and cigarmskers,s snd are honest and
hard working, sending all their children to
the public schools The miserable hordes
OF HuDgsrians, whose presence in the coal
regions and as lsDorers on railroad contracts
has aroused such unfsvorable comment, are
very different people.

IT has been evidenced that the telephone
service between New York and Philadel-
phia was far superior to the telegraphic
communication In the recent blizzard. As
the Philadelphis Ledger ssys: Long dis.

line between Philadelphia and New York,
erected after experiments between New

most perfect plant OF electrical conductors
OF like length In the world" There
are forty.five poles to the mile In
place Of thirty, the usual number,
and these are securely planted In
holes six feet deep. The poles are
equipped for seventy wires and
twenty eight have bsen strung. They
are Of hard drawn copper wire, spec.
tally made for this use, OF great tensile
strength and high oonduotivity. Two test.
ing stations have been built between Phila.

MIR. Randall,s Republican Aid.

Judge Kelley writes column letter 10
the Philadelphia Times, in which he says
but two things, one being q complaint
that the majority of the ways and means
committee are not treating the minority
with proper consideration In getting up
tariff bill without consultation with
them; for which complaint we think
that the Judge has fair cause. The
other thing that he says is that he will
heartily support Mr.. Randall's bill.
There Is no doubt about Kelley's earn
estness in the cause of protection. The
Republican party will have to toe the
mark squarely to get his support. lie
was tariff man before he was Repub'
lican, and the protective idea wholly
controls his political action. Mr.. Ran
dali may expect sincere and earnest sup.
port. from Judge Kelley for his bill, which
doubtless has been prepared In full con
sultation with the judge and which bears
the ear-marks of his paternal considera
ton. The Judge will get apart from The
most of his Republican associates on thi'
matter, but will lead small Republican
cohort side by side with Randall's littl'
tand.
A bill which keeps up the duties o'

suegcs,Ion Of the storm.

II "a interesting to note how unanl-
mously the newspapers congratulate
themselves upon their enterprise in pub
llshing interesting accounts of the great
storm. They seem to think that 1t was

New York has been shut out from the

are Just to hand in bunch. They are
very stale reading now, but they seem to
have gone off like hot cakes in the be.
leaguered city in which they we're printed.
It's people had nothing to do but to read
the papers.
This storm has been wholly unique
experience to this generation of men and
will furnish topics for the newspapers for
some time to come. We are learning
that we had the moderate end Of 1t here,
severe as we thought 1t. The road from

content to let their wires rest longer upon

to be necessity of good railroad admin

And also good snow plows. 1t seem
very strange that our Eastern railroad
have no appliance to remove snow from
their tracks. They used to have grea
snow plows in their store houses; bu
since their locomotives have been mad

The kiug Business.

Emperor William left private fortune
OF 81, 900 900 marks, or sl2, ,960 900. How
much he inherited Is not stated, but it is
evident that this king business should be
ranked with stock cornering and railroad
wrecking as profitable industry for those
who are able to control it. In this light
1t is quite easy to understand the audacity
OF the wealthy young prince Of Bulgaria.
He is risking great deal in his independ-
ent venture, but il he can only hold out
long enough, the great powers will have
to bribe him off or offer him place in the
trust.
4 Alexander, Cesar and Napoleon did
Ill that men could do to establish mon
opoly, but it has remained for Bismarck
to control the European branch Of the
business by means of trust called the
great powers" England has not joined
this trust and so we hear rumors of an
intention to strike her from the list of
drst-class nations on the ground that all
tho troops that she could muster on her
own soil would not equal one corps of the
German army. This is the story that
Henry Laoouchere has brought forward
for the astonishment of his self-satisled
countrymen. He fails to explain how a
strong English army could help the trust
along, and doubtless the true reason fol
the crowding out Of Britain is that heI
royalty is hollow form while she is in
reality more republican than the French
republic. Perhaps after all this Russian
war alarm is only bugaboo gotten up by
the syndicate of emperors to justify the
increase of vast military establishments
by means of which their monopoly Of
government may be protected.
