The Coolest Spot.

The coolest place on earth is not
as hitherto believed by meteorologists,
Yatusk, in Siberia, but Verkayansk,
in the region, lying in 67 1-2 deg.
north latitude, on the river Yana.
Its lowest mean winter temperature
is 4S Go deg. below zero centigrade.
This is the cold pole of the earth of
Asia, the corresponding pole in
America being to the northward of
the Parry Islands, and the line join
ing these two places does not pass
through the north pole itself, which is
thus, in all probability, outside the
line of the greatest cold, On the
other hand, the greatest heat in the
tropics is not at the equator, butsom
distance north and south.

This is an age of statistics and
philosophic comparisons and deduc-
tons. In the biennial report of the
state prison of Minnesota these very
significant figures are given "Out of
the whole number 101 were married,
313 unmarried, 8 were widowers.'
The country is now busy gathering
data on the marriage question, and
every straw that bears on the ques-
ton is eagerl y caught at. Here, then,
is another argument in favor of the
married men. Then whatever small
failures marriage may develop, it les
sens the general proportion of crime
threefold. The eight widowers is an
other argument in the same direction.
These eight men constitute a larger
proportion to the number of convicts
than of convicts to the entire male
community. Eight widowers to 101
married men is, considering their
scarcity, more startling proportion
than the 313 unmarried men. This
leads to simple conclusion. Mar
riage is the best condition, single life
is the next, but widowhood is the
most desperate. The widower, the
man who has been fostered and
trained by marriage into the most
conservative type of man, is, when
the bonds are cast off, the most apt
to fall from grace. This argues man
a creature of habit and surroundings
more than of will or malicious intent.
Bolstered up by the benign influences
of marriage, he seems strong crea-
ture. Those influences gone, it is
seen that his erectness was due the
stays, not spine. And so like the
women physically caparisoned with
with whalebone and steel, the muscle,
either physical or moral, will lose even
its natural force. Hence the most
dangerous man in the community is
the widower.- Minneapolis Tribune.

Woman's Rights Coin Unearthed

A curious coin was recently dug up
in this vicinity. No one seems to
know its value or what the designs
mean. The coin is of copper, about
the size of an old-fashioned copper
cent. On one de it has the legend,
'United States of America" on the
outside edge of the coin. Inside Of
this is the typical laurel wreath, and
in this circle the words elderly,

entirely strange. The kneeling figure
of a woman, with uplifted hands, from
which fall the links of a chain.

The Tariff and Wages.


In Europe, Italy, Russia and France
have in force systems Of protection in many
respects analogous to our own, but not
only are the rates of wages far below our
standard, but in the last twenty years they
have not advanced to anywhere near the
extent that wages have increased in tree
trade Eugland. In Australia the colonies
of Virtoria and New South Wales have
adopted for their industrial policies two
entirely distinct methods. In Victoria the
customs taxes have been mainly arranged
with view to affording protection to her
industries; in New South Wales they have
been mainly levied with a view TO afford
ing revenue to the government, and with
no regard to their protective qualities. In
both countries the rate of wages have for
years been much the same, though the ad-
vance in their standard has been slightly
greater in New South Wales than in Vic
toria. But in the last ten years the wealth
of the people has increased at much more
rapid rate in New South Wales than in
Victoria, end man in England or Ireland
who was thinking of emigrating to Austria
liza would he much more likely to 20 to the
former than to the latter colony, for the
reason that the experience of those who
have gone before him has shown that his
chances of successfully earning livelihood
would be better than III the protectionist
colony.

WHY DO THEY WANT so HIGH A
TARIFF

Our esteemed shoulder-hitting Demo
eyatic contemporary, the Philadelphia
Record, asks q plain question Of the Steel
Rail Trust: Why do they ask $i7 ton
prot ction when they don't need so much,
aud il is notorious and acknowledged
fact that they don't?
For what purpose, asks the Record,
does the Bessemer Steel Company demand
a duty OF S17 ton, or even Sl4 ton, on
steel rails except to plumber American
consumers behind the tariff wall? At the
tariff rate OF Sll ton British rails could
not be landsd in this country for less than
SIS ton, duty included. Is not this
sufficient margin Of protection for rails
that can be profitably manufactured in
Pennsylvania for $50 a tor? But the
Besssmsr Steel Combination insists upon
the highest rate of duty-Rot for its O'cn
protection, bat TO enable it to prey upon
home consumers. The duty of S11 ton
would afford consumers some protection,
for whenever the Bessemer Ring should
undertake to corner the market they would
be met by foreign supply.
The truth is that the exorbitant rate OF
duty on steel rails has been a grieyous OBJ
struction to railroad progress not merely
in this country bat throughout the world.
Whenever the price of rails has been forced
up in the United States under shelter Of
the tariff the price has risen in Eugland.
The English manufacturers would not sell
to buyers in Australia, New Zealand, South
America or Russia at lower rates than they
could obtain in this country when the
Bsssemec Monopoly was booming the mar
ket. Thus railroad enterprise has been
DISTRACTED OF made too costly TO its pro-
jectors by the artificial enhancement OF the
cost of rails through the tariff.
Nevertheless, the Senate Finance Com
mittee, in obedience to the demands OF the
Bessemer Ring, proposes to keep the duty
on steel rails at SIT per ton. Without
this, possibly, no "fst" could be fried out
OF the steel rail manufacturers.

The HatelfQencer is fearfully Illustrated"
over the fact that q certain colonel Catho-
lie, who is the editor Of u cUlored Catholic
journal, innocently took ont red bsndsnna
and wiped his brow with itiuSt. Alphonsus'
Church. 1t does beat everything what q
peculiar effect the red bandanns has on
hide-bound, narrow minded Republican OF
the MteHigeReer stripe. The LateiiigeHeer
throws haudfuls of loaded type at the in
offensive gentleman, accusing him OF every
thing low down and dirty in politics, ex-
eept advocating free whisky. Oar red
hot neighbOr even accuses the colored re-
ligious editor OF having been ''smuggled"
into st. AlphODsus Church "by the Demo
cratic Managers" for partisan purposes,
thereby bssely accusing the reverend
fathers of that Church of what the editor
of the InteRiqencer knows they are not
guilty-cOmplicity in such thing.
Now, to come down to the plain facts in
the case, the HatelligsHeer speaks untruth-
fully, wholly so. Dr. WHrTsoN did not
make "a political sturap speech" After
DIR. wHITsON was through his lecture,
which was not delivered in the church
proper, by the way, he referred in particu-
lar to his paper and to the fact that it was
non political. At this point he WIS be-
trayed by the cordial manner in which the
unprecedented display of bandsnna
handkerchief was received by his auditors
to speak few words ss to his own political
views. That il was unwise all will admit,
bat that it was premeditated, nobody but
n gutter politician, himself given to shady
methods and consequently suspicious OF
ali mankind, would suspect. And it ia
not very keen politician that goes to
blackguardiDg a church because the ma
iority of its members are not OF his way OF
thinking on political matters. In another
column will be found Rev. Father NC

Some Things for the Maine Man to Medl-
tate on Aboard the Big Steamship.
Detroit Free Press.
Mr. james G.. Blaine will sail on the
magnificent new steamship, City Of New
York On August 1. The great ship will
probably give the great man less time for
ocean meditation than any other craft on
which he might have taken passage. for it
is expected that the voyage will be done
in six days. Still the world was made in
that time, and Mr. Blaine will have good
deal to think Of if his surroundings are
anything of an object lesson to him.
He sails on the graDdest ship that ever
undertook to share the regular ocean
trade 1t is owned by an American Gem
pany. Il cost about million of Ameri-
can dollars. The first question Mr..
Blaine may ponder on is this: Why was
not such ship owned by Americans, sup
ported mainly by rich American passen-
gers, built in America?
Why did not portion of the million go
into the pockets Of American workingmen?
Why did not another portion of 1t go to
American engineers, to American mill
owners, to American lumbermen, to Amer
lean decorators, and to American ship
chambers? In short, why was that million
taken from this country and spent in Eng
land? When Mr.. Blaine goes on board he
will walk on deck made in Glasgow. He
will 20 down TO his luxurious stateroom
decorated by firm in London. He will
lie down in bunk, the furnishings Of
which come from Manchester. He VII eat
what meals he takes on English Worcester
ware. He will cut his steak with Sheffield
cutlery. Everything he does, everything
he sees, thOse six days should remind him
of the iniquitous law that make the build
ing of such a ship an impossibility in
America Mr.. Blaine, himself, stands at
the head of the party which says that
rather than allow q cent OF the tax that
prevented that million being spent where
it rightfully belonged, they will give us
what? Free whisky.

THE CITY GAS WORKS.

Has it occurred to this community that
it has a piece of property called the gas
works which III rapidly decreasing in
value? This valuable plant represents an
investment Of over halls million Of dollars,
and has been one of the best sources OF
revenue to the city that she ever possessed,
besides giving a large number OF the
citizens the cheapest gas produced
anywhere in the United States. Wheel
ing is one of three cities that owns her own
gas works, and by virtue of this owner
ship, she is enabled to light all her streets
and public building without dollar OF
cost, to say nothing of the fat revenue be-
sides.
In view of the introduction Of the cleo
trio light in many of the business houses
of the city, the receipts have largely fallen
of, and it is possible if this new illumi-
nant increases in popular favor the re-
ceipts may become No reduced that it will
not pay to Opernte the works. We say
this is possibility; yes, it is strong
probability, unless the city has the power
to adapt her gas works to the needs
of the hour. What is that pow
err Simply the right to pro-
duce an electric illuminant. The
City Solicitor says in = formal opinion
that that privilege does not exist under
the charter authorizing the purchase and
operation OF the present works. The Leg
islature will convene inside of six months,
and no doubt that right will be granted
for the asking. In the meantime cannot
Council see its way clear to authorize the

preparations for producing the electric
light? The Trustees are ready, and aox-
ions to 90 ahead. What say you, gentle

There was no hesitation about that meas
ure, either. By vote Of $50 to 81 it was

abolish all import duties on coal. Again
the Ohio Republican members were found
voting together for this free trade measure
20 strike at the ''infant industry" of Ohio
coal mining. The Senate objected, as a
matter of course, but in 1872 bill passed
both Houses reducing the duty on coal from
81. 25 to rs cents per ton. Were the Repub-
iicans of the House who passed free coal
measure in 1871 ''free trsders9" Did the
