FRENCH duties are now SO high on
American lard containing cotton seed
oil, that the commodity is practically
shut out Of the country. France by TAX
ing this action followed England, Ger
many, Canada and Mexico to protect
her people from the consumption oi
adulterated food. The effect Of this ex-
clusion in one sense can not but be salu-
tary. 1t will bring the American pork
packer and Lard reliner to his senses as
far, at least, as the foreign trade is con-
cerned. The danger is, however, that
tho home market will he flooded with
the whole stock of inferior and delete
rious compounds, while the foreigner

street are in the position OF the man
who locked his barn door after his horse
was stolen. After II lapse of two years
they propose to bring suit against the
contractors who laid the wooden pave
ment of that street on the ground that
the blocks were rotten at the time they
were laid. They are likely, however
to extract very little satisfaction at this
late day, and have themselves only to
blame for not heeding the warnings to
repudiate wooden pavements. The
lesson, however, should not be lost on
taxpayers and property owners whose
streets are to be paved this season.

mer one. This Office has been do
MED common courtesy respecting these
commun rcations. Neither acknowledgment
of their receipt, or answer to their requests
has been received here.
The information was requested in an in-
formal way, not because it was deemed un-
important or because it was only personal
desire OF one of the secretaries, but because
the writer deemed the interests of all con-
cerned best subserved by amicable aud and
unrestricted intercourse between the com.
mission and railway officials. II your peo-
Pile are of a different mind, should like to
be informed OF it now, and will be guided ao-
cordingly in the future
The coal statement was wanted. Compil-
ing the statement from ordinary railway ao-
counts is not particularly burdensome. All
other companies iu the state cheerfully and
promptly complied with n similar request.
We want the statement from tn Union Pa

If it can only be had by invoking the aid
of our courts, with all the attendant pub
licty, why, then it will be had in that way,
books will be produced in evidence Of why
the information is not forthcoming.
sincerely trust that intercourse necessary
between the working force of the board Of
transportation and Union Pacific officials
may be in no way unpleasant. can assure
you of the existence of disposition on the

days there will be no reception at all, ex-
cept the regular public affair, which will,
as in the past, take place at o'clock.
The result of this change will be q saw
ing to the president of at least six or

corresponding degree of increase in the
number of appointments. The diminu-
ton of the reception hours win not there
fore be, as the Office seeker will at first

4 RIVAL RAILROAD.
Proposed New Line from New
York to Pittsburg.
TO PARALLEL THE PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia Capitalists Are working Up
scheme to Construct . New Route 20
Pittsburg via Ashland. seIInsgrove and
HuntinEdon, Connecting with LehIgh
valley.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2I.-The plan for
IN independent railroad across the state
70 connect with the Lehigh Valley rail-
road has been revived, and within the
past two weeks efforts have been made
to interest Philadelphia capitalists in the
scheme. Since the South Pennsylvania
railroad fell into the hands of the Van
derbilts several new projects have been
started and old ones revived. The one
that is considered to have the best finan-
cial backing IS the one which contem-
plates connection with the Lehigh
Valley at Ashland, and il Is this one
which has been brought to the attention
Of local financicrs.
Line Of the Proposed Road.
The line OF the proposed road is from
Ashland due west to Pittsburg, passing
through Sclinsgrove and Huntingdon.
The route is quite direct, and runs close
TO the Pennsylvania railroad for most of
the distance. 1t Ii intended that the
Baltimore and Ohio terminals at Pitts
burg shall be used, while the Lehigh
Valley is depended upon to receive and
take care of the traffic delivered at Ash
land.
Engineers say that the route is good
one, although not as good as the South
Pennsylvania. From Ashland to Selins-
grove the country Is very mountainous,
and the work viii be exceedingly expen-
siye. From Selinsgrove west, however,
the country is very fair, except in the
Allegheny mountains section.
II WIN Require $40. oOO. 900.
No exact estimates Of the cost have
been made, but work will not be begun
unless at least 10000 600 is subscribed.
A portion Of this amount has been Sc
cured, and the promoters are searching
FOR more. The experience of the South
Pennsylvania syndicate has not given
much encouragement to investors, and
very few mOnied men have as vet iden-
titled themselves with the enterprise.
The promoters of it are pushing men,
and feel confident that the road will ul-
timateIy be built.
Lehigh Valleys Interest.

declared that all that Is expected from
that corporation is traffic contract to
exchange freight and passengers. The
distance from New York to Pittsburg,
by way Of this route, is slightly less than
the Pennsylvania's. The friends Of the
scheme talk Of large profits that would
be made py the construction of the road,
since a large tonnage of anthracite coal
could be placed in Rittsburg every year,
and besides. the new line would compete
with the Pennsylvania for local business
at many points.
