AN EXTRA SESSION SUGGESTED.
It may be necessary, in view Of the situation
as portrayed BY the manufacturers for the
Chamber Of Commerce and other organized
bodies to petition the Governor to call an extra
session of the Legislature provided this session
fails to carry out the wishes Of the people as it
is manifest now that the henchmen Of the
monopolists are determined to beat the people
by strategy from now to the close Of the pres
ent session. It Is encouraging to see the people
aroused as they have never been before They
are the sovereigns in this land. and they VIII
eventually teach their rulers that they must De
respected. The slave power domineered over
this nation for many years. But when Chief
Justice Taney laid down the doctrine that
Slaves had no rights that white men were
bound to respect they came to the turning
point in their career Of tyranny. The battle
cry in the campaign Of 1850 was opposition TO
the dictates of the slave power, and who
knows but the battle CRY OF 1880 IN Pennsyi.
vania may De opposition to the dictates OF
grasping monopolists. If so, the people may
compel their rulers to realize even before the
day of their death that Justice is one OF Gods
attributes.

QUAY TO GET WHAP.HE WANTS.
Senator stockhridEe's Views on the situa-
tion in Pennsylvnnia-Halstead for Gov.

Senator stockbridEe's Views ON the situa-
tion in Observation-Disclosures for Gov.
ernOr and Senator.
Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan, passed
through the city last evening on his way to
Chicago. He was in a talkat1ve mood and
made some interesting remarks. According
to his views Postmaster General Wana-
maker and Hon. NJ. s. Quay have some ar
rangement whereby the various Offices in
Pennsylvania will be filed satisfactorily to
everybody except some of the lesser lights
in politics. Who these 'lesser lights are
he did not say, but he did remark that
Colonel Quay would get what he wanted.
He thinks General Harrison's policy in
the South will be TO give the Offices to such
Republicans as have the business capacity
to fill them and at the same time have the
respect of the people. "It has too often
been the case" he says, "that Northern
carpet-baggers have been given positions be-
cause they attended conventions and made
people believe they were the representative
Republicans of the South. They are hated
by those around them in the South and lead
them to believe that the entire party in the
North is composed of such men as they are.
This does much to prevent the organization
of the Republican party in the South"
In speaking of the Murat Halstead affair,
Mr.. Stockbridge said that man was srejected,
not because he was unfit for the Office but
on purely personal grounds. This will only
cause his friends to become frmer and it
may result in his election as Governor of
Ohio. and after, that he may go to the Sen
ate. He said that Sherman's plea for Hal
stead's confirmation was one of the greatest
efforts of his life.

AN INTERRUPTED MATCH.

The AIleghShy Police Stop an Amateur
Pedestrian Costest-smaII Scale Hippo
dremes Don't Go.
The boys who reside in Woods Run are
well versed in all sporting events, and be-
lieve they can do anything that anybody
else can do. They have formed baseball
clubs, practiced at bOat-racing and are will
ing to meet any person of their age and size
in q pugilistie encounter. In the latter
they are very proficient, but the proficiency
obtained In the manly art has cost their
parents many a dollar, which went toward
reducing the taxes Of Allegheny property
holders.
One of the sports that the Woods Run
youths are not proficient in is pedestrian
ism. Their education in this has been neg
lected and yesterday number Of them de-
termined to test their strength and power of
endurance. This was suggested to them by
the reports OF the international walking
formal meeting was held on one 'of the cor
ners at Woods Run yesterday. and it was
decided to engage in a 142-hour walking
match. Six persons whose ages range from
10 to 10 years at once entered their names
for the contest. The next thing was to Sc
cure place for the match.
1t was decided to use Councilman Hart
mans large frame house on the property
adjoining the penitentiary, which had been
occupied as wigwam by the Ninth Ward
Republican Club during the campaign.
The door was locked, but that was trifing
obstacle and the boys were soon in posses
sion.
A track was made and measured off and
the six contestants started. They had COW
cred about ten miles each when Mr.. Hart
man discovered they were occupying his
building without having made any arrange
ments with him for the use of the same. He
notified Officer Laughrey, who swooped
down on the young pedestrians and gathered
them in. The timekeeper and spectators
escaped.
The boys were sent to the lookup in the
patrol wagon, and gave their names as
William Harris, John Davis, Jacob Whit
mer, John Williams, George james and
Frank Buckley. Their parents put up S15
for each of the prisoners, and they will be
given hearing before Mayor Pearson this
morning.

P. R. R. DISCREPANCIES
Pointed Out by a Pittsburger Who
Studies Transportation Facts.
ENORMOUS RECEIPTS UNREPORTED
According to the Way He Figures 1t Out,
With Coke as Basis.
AN EXTRA SESSION is SUGGESTED

Mr.. John Hood, who declined to talk .
few days since on the burning question Of
discrimination in freight carrying rates BY
rail on the ground that he never wished to
express himself until he had decided whatto
say, unlimbered yesterday and talked freely:
The figures he furnished make instructive
reading. Mr.. Hood has given the subject
more thought than most people. He said:
This question Of discrimination in freight
rates has been agitated in our State for many
years. and no effectua1 remedy has been
adopted to correct the abuse. The Constitu-
tion as adopted in 1873 contemplated q remedy,
and one clause required that the General As
sembly shall enforce by appropriate legislation
the provisions of this article Q7). But the
Legislature refuses to do 50. although each
member takes a solemn oath to support and
defend the Constitution.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Grain
and Flour Exchange have passed many resolu-
tions and sent several committees to the Leg
islature to urge upon that body the necessity
Of enforcing the Constitution by statute law,
but to no avail thus far. and now come Mr..
Carnegie and several large manufacturers pro-
claiming aloud that II the abuse Is not cor
rected manufacturing and commerce will be
driven from the State, and, more particular,
from Pittsburg. Mr.. Carnegie asserts, truth
fully. that the rate from Pittsburg to Chicago
or New York is 90 per cent of the through rate
or the two locals is 20 per cent more than the
through rate.
A BIG BREACH AT BEST.
That has been the discrepancy for years, and
previous to the passage of the interstate law
the difference between some points was over
so per cent; but even 20 per cent on Is cent
rate between Chicago and New York amounts
to 81 per ton, while the annual reports Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company show
its gross earnings from freight in
1887 were less than 90 cents per ton,
in which were included terminal charges
while the average distance they hauled one ton
of freight in the years 1886 and 1887 was be-
tween 125 and l30 miles. Suppose we stop and
consider these results and compare them with
their tariff sheets and see II IL doos not show a
more glaring outrage on the patrons OF the
road than any o. Mr.. Carnegies figures. In
1886 the gross earnings were from
freight S23,820,302 on 26,420e48 tons:
in 1887 the earnings were $26. .720.0l4
ON 30, 81, ,636 tons. Divide the proceeds by the
tons and you have the earnings per ton.
Examine the tariff figures below and see how
you would get the average rate down 70 9Oc
per ton on an average haul Of LII miles.

renewal in Gray Friar's Churchyard, at
Edinburgh, in 1888, and the ejectment of
nearly 400 Presbyterian ministers in 1862.

ings they endured in defending the rights
and liberties of the Church Of Scotland A

ers were shown to the audience.
