A Pittsburg girl now in London is said to have

offering to buy one of the numerous sets OF brace

That was sweetly thoughtful OF the Pittsburs girl
Let us hope that when she herself einoarks upon
the sea of matrimony she will have the same luck
with her own duplicate wedding gifts. Few

According 10 the chief city engineer OF Quebec,
the danger to which the houses destroyed by
the recent landslide, or rockslide were exposed
was pointed out as long ago as 1880, and work
that would have cost $4,000 was recommended
in order TO make that portion Of the city safe.
1t is easy enough TO say that these recommended
tions should have been acted on, Just as 1t was
easy to affirm that the dangerous South Fork
dam ought TO have been strengthened before the
Conemaugh Valley was devastated But the
practical thing in Quebec is to make ii certain
that there shall DO no repetition OF last weeks
disaster; and if in any other city or town q
similar source Of danger exists no time should
be lost in removing it or guarding against it
as thoroughly possible.

The Worlds Fair project seems to be lag
gng, mainly on account of the uncertainty that
still exists in regard to the site. In fact, it is
said that the Committee on Finance are not
inclined to proceed with the work of securing
money for the Exposition until Congress de-
cides that it shall be held here. This would
be grave mistake. Doubt as to the site should
be at once disposed of by relinquishing all
thought of using Central Park for the purpose.
That done, the adoption of an adequate finan-
cial plan and the taking of subscriptions would
be in order. If New-York looks for favorable
action on the part of Congress, she must be
able to give abundant reason for the faith
which sees clearly that the capital of the West
ern Hemisphere is the only fitting place for
celebrating the discovery of the New World

One gas company is about to overhaul its
mains and put down new ones where they are
required. The need of work OF this sort has
been made apparent by the vast quantity OF
gas which is known to escape into the earth
and which has more than once shown its power
for evil in explosions in the subways. The
point most worthy Of attention in the present
case Is that the company wishes to make its
repairs before the repaving of the streets is
begun. In so doing it makes radical depart
ure from the practice Of corporations that bur
row beneath the streets which, as rule, are
never 90 delighted as when they have chance
TO rip up a newly laid pavement But it is
departure that the public will cordially ap
prove, and all companies that have wholesome
regard for public opinion can find here hint
worth taking.

DENTON, TEX, Sept. 9.-This city
was thrown into great state of excite
ment this morning by the report that
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert NJ. Hannah had
committed suicide. The reporter fastened
to the scene and found both IN an uncOn-
scious condition and upon investigation
found that Mr.. Hannah was near death s
door and could not recover, although
all medical aid was called TO his assist
ance. In the north room of the resi-
dence on a rocking chair sat Mrs Hannah
and when asked how she felt replied:
Every well; but l regret that l did not
take enough poison to end my life.
On the table was found a small. box OF
morphine which they had emptied and a
small bottle of chloroform. ON the out
side, near the window, was found an
empty vial that had contained laudanum.
Upon questioning Mrs. Hannah she in
formed the reporter that the poison was
taken at 10 o CLOCK p. m. Sunday. Inc
cause of the suicide, as near as the par
ticulars could be had, are as follows: 1t
appears that Bud Fry and John Hudson
reported to the grand jury that
they had seen Mr.. Hannah in
criminal conversation with his niece
(who is still at his house,
at the graveyard some time since, where
upon a true bill was found and the case
set for trial for to-day. j. b. Strlnger,
an attorney for the defense, in obedience
to Hannah g request, called at the resi-
dence this morning and found the part
les writing and grooming under the III
f1uence of poison. They left the follow
inc notes which will explain. This one
is supposed to be written by Mr.. Han
nah:
"PIease mail letters that have stamps
on them. I do not want any
body to think that Lilly had anything to
do with this (referring to his
niece). We do this with our own will.
Please have some funeral notices out,
and when you put in your article send
paper to Smith, OrenagO, Mo. -
This one was from Mrs. Hannah.
''Look in dressing case drawer and
you will find clothing for both. We do
not want anything fine, only plain and
nice. Many thanks to kind friends in
our trouble. At 10 O'Clock we take the
dose. Blame nobody but ourselves. Tell
Bud Fry if ne ever expects to get
to heaven he had better change,
or he is sure for hell. Nothing
wanted to the last at 2 O'Clock. Bet
tie. -
Mr.. RaDnah died at II a. m. to-day
He was never conscious after taking the
poison. Mrs. Hannah will probably re-
cover. He was painter by trade but
had been running q restaurant in Denton
for some time past. He was buried at
| the city cemetery to-day.

ton showing the Importance of the move
ment.
The area of the country lying west OF
the Mississippi which would be tributary
to Gulf harbor is $40, 595 square miles,
about three-ffths of the area of the
United States, and contains about one
fourth of the population. The amount
of money spent by the government for
the improvement of rivers and harbors
east of the Mississippi is S42G, 794 $40, or
So 81 for each inhabitant, while
the amount expended west of the
Mississippi is S42 ,45O 900, or s. So
per capita. The committee argues
from this that, taking population alone
as the basis, the West is entitled to have
expended by the government on river
and ha1 Dor improvements, Sl0l 1912 800,
in order to even up the matter. In view
of this they consider the demand for
$40 900 200 for Texas gulf harbor very
reasonable indeed.
The statistics showing the relative pro-
ducts of the two sections are also given.
The average consumption of corn is
twenty seven bushels per capita. The
West raises sixty-fiYe bushels, and the
East twenty-five bushels to each person.
Having furnished itself and supplied the
the East, the West has millions Of bushels
left for export.
+, The wheat consumption is four and two
thirds bushels per capita. The West raises
plenty for itself, furnishes the East with
1894 900, which it lacks of having
enough, and has surplusage of 1876, 900, )
600 bushels for export. The surplus meat
is also raised west of the Mississippi river.
All these things are used as additional
arguments showing the necessity for an
appropriation for a deep water harbor on
the gulf coast. Producing by Tar the
largest part of the articles that are ex-
ported, the people of the great West ask
congress for an appropriation that will
enable them to reach the markets of the
world more easily and more cheaply than
they are now able to do. Ihey ask II
not as paupers, but as taxpayers and
producers-joint owners in the funds OF
the country. They demand it because il
has become a business necessity, and be-
cause they have a right to it.
The committee say that they appeal tc
congress now to make this appropria-
ton to the West as a matter
of justice, intimating that if ii
is put off for few year:
the West will exercise the power, which
it viii undoubtedly have, to take it by
| force and superior numbers.
AS the business of the West is rapidly
increasing so is the population growing
and the East may be made to regret the
delay of justice, if it is delayed.

WHY, TO BLAILE?

Discussing the necessity for a railroad
commission, the Bolton Journal says:
There is no denying the fact that the rail-
ways have aggravated the discussion of their
affairs by withholding from the public the in
formation which all ought to possess, and if
they come in for good share of abuse they may
largely blame themselves for it.
Had the railroads volunteered a state
ment of ''an the facts and figures" of
their condition, it would have been re-
ceived with doubts and sneers; the mo-
tives of the roads in volunteering such
statement would have been impugned
and the correctness of the statement de-
MED. There has never been any occasion
for the railroads to strike balance sheet
for the edifcation OF the public. Such
action would have been ridiculous with
out formal demand from the people. 4
committee of investigation would have
afforded such opportunity, but the Jour
nal did not urge this Official demand, and
now rebukes the roads tor not doing
voluntarily what the people refused 10
demand.
In their reply to the Dallas freight rate
committee, the railroads showed what
might have been accomplished for the
instruction of the people had a commit
tee of investigation been appointed by
the Twenty-first legislature in regular
eass,ou

The Negro at the North.

At Decatur, III, Wood Bros. pur-
veyors of candies and ice cream, had no
ice cream to sell to Rev. Edward Wilson
He was q negro. He now arrests the
purveyors by virtue of the civil rights
law, and ''the case will be holly con-
tested. OF course it will.
And the jury viii discharge
the confectioners. The black
man will get no ice cream. The people
of Decatur love the negro in the South,
not in the North The civil rights bill
was prepared for the South, where a
colored man may get all the Ice cream
he can pay for. To apply reconstruction
to the North-is not that oppressive?
The same Northerner who will endure
arrest before he will sell ice cream TO a
black man will tell you confidently that
the determination of the Southerners to
prevent black home rule is the vilest
conspiracy of modern times. ''They re

The Practical Obstacle.
Boston Transcript.

That enterprising Texan, MIR. T. J.
Hurley, comes to the same conclusion as
our able correspondent in Central Amer
lea, Mr. o. S. Murphy, as to the prac-
ticaI obstacle to trade between other
American peoples and our own:
est is due mainly - he says, ''to our Yankee
self-conceit and hard-headedness. Our manu-
facturers, instead of making the character of
their goods and their methods OF packing con-
form 20 the needs and wishes OF South and Cen
trail American purchasers, insist that purchasers
shall adapt their requirements to the goods as
they are made and packed. Foreign Hlanufac-
turers are wiser, They endeayor to supply what
their Gust omers want, instead of demanding that
the customers shall want what they have got to
supply
After the Germans and English have
established completely their possession of
our continent and hemisphere outside our
states, we shall be able to take lessons of
them.

Henry Clay's american system"
NJ


The New York Commercial Advertiser
has been worrying its Protectionist con-
tempoTaries by reprinting extracts from
Henry Clay s tariff speeches. They read
verS much like current tariff reform ed l.
torials. Mr.. Clay held that the cost Of
labor was so inconsiderable an element
in the scheme Of protection as to be
hardly worth mention. Our cheap raw
materials and the better quality of our
labor, he insisted, more than counter
balance the DISADVANTAGE of the low
wages of labor in Great Britain. When
Mr.. Clay spoke IN 1924, labor was low,
indeed, in Great Britain. 1t was "prO-
tected' labor. Skilled workmen OBJ
tanned 81 per week for eleven hours work
per day Such labor now, unprotected,
earns from Sc 20 to SIS per week for
eight hours work per day.
MIR. Clay disdained the cheap dema-
gogv which seeks to cheat the laboring
man out of his vote by making him be-
lieYe that to vote for protection is to vote
himself better wages. He favored pro-
lection as a measure of reprisal against
nations whose hostile tariffs affected ad-
versely the trade of the United States.
He was in favor of free trade with free
traders. eco home, ne said in de-
bate with Col. Hayne, who was born
abroad ''to your native Europe, and
there inculcate upon her sovereigns your
Utopian doctrine OF free trade, and when
you have prevailed upon them to uDseal
their ports and freely admit the produce
OF this country, come back, and we shall
be prepared to become converts and to
adopt your faith -
