Bur all our working people
who have to wear cheap cloth
ing are not of the male persua-
sion. Surely, however, Nc
Kinley and his fellow Repubh-
can Congressman were gallant
enough not to attack the ladies'
dresses. Not a bit of ii. The
advance authorized on ladies,
hats is 80 cents OH the 81, or
81. 80 on a S. hat. On dress goods
of wool, alpaca, worsted, and
similar stuffs. whether cotton
mixed or not. il is 90 cents on
the 81 of the cheapest qualities.
On a lady's cloak of wool, wors-
ted. or such material, it is I2
cents on the 81. On buttons,
Innings, trimmings, ETC., the ad-
vance is in like proportion. The
effect is that on q woman's or
binary plain outfit there will in
1891 be an increase over 1889 Of
about 80, which has been the
price heretofore-now increased
of q common serviceable
shawl. The result will be that.
while many q working-man
goes around without his winter
over-coat, his wife will either
have TO go about shawlless or
stay indoors. Bedford Maga-

stance. 1t is necessary that
more official and,higher action
be taken in a case like this be-
fore a release can be secured. "
Wednesday afternoon was the
time when Warden Hayes re-
ceiyed notice that Reardon was
TO be allowed to see his fathers
dead body. Mrs. Reardon in
the mean time, happy in the
anticipation that her son would
be under her roof again, even if
it was for a few hours, made
preparations for his coming.
She notified a few of her near
est relatives 50 they would be
on hand to see George" and
shake hands with him. With a
devotion and fondness that a
mother alone can display, Mrs.
Reardon went about these cheer
full, but at the same time sad,
preparations. 1t was arranged
that her son would arrive when
it was dark, which would be
about $3.50 o'clock.
Seven o'clock came and went,
but her son did not arrive. A
half hour past, still no tidings.
AT length a terrible suspicion
crossed the poor mothers mind.
At that moment the front door
beil rang and a messenger boy
appeared. He came from the
prison. He handed a. message
to Mrs. Reardon. 1t read:
"MOTHER-The Warden says
/ cannot come. Your son,
T .,:. GEORGE"
A sOrrowfui scene followed.
The poor widow nearly broke
down tthe sad disappointment,
and wept like a child, Friends
crowded around and tried to
comfort her. The funeral took
place Thursday.
II could not act otherwise"
said Warden Hayes"

The Rev. Thomas Dixon in
speaking of the recent election
said:
"The election ON Nov. 4th last
was a genuine surprise. 1t was
more than a tidal wave, more
than a cyclone, more than an
earthquake, il was u political
JohnstOwn. The flood of the
peoples rights overwhelmed
their oppressors. The victors
were so amazed that they for
got 10 shout. and the defeated
have not yet enough recovered
from the shock ito know what
struck them.
From the election We learn
several things: that ballot re-
form has come TO stay; that
hereafter people will not bow
down 10 party lines; that the
era principles has dawned ON
the last Of the bosses The
policy that has laid the people
under more taxation than does
the standing army Of European
countries is 0verthrown and
completely routed.
The election has determined
that New York is not the piv'
otal State, and that. instead OF
the sluins Of New York City
controlling the country. the
centre Of power has Travelled
from the green, grassy hills oI
New England to the broad plains
Of the West. This aisoindicate:
the downfall Of Tammany Hall
for which God he praised. Il
has been a severe lesson to th,
great leaders, Mckinley and In
gals. that the people will here
after choose what Is right ant
best for themselves. In short
il was an uprising of a people
that had stood tyrany and op
preston long enough.

The i;ulnbIe Bee as O Motor.

1t is we'll known that the
humble bees weight is but a
small fraction of an ounce, but
when he strikes a small boy in
the vicinity of the eyebrow his
reserve force is such as to make
it appear as If he weighed a ton.
A half dozen able-bodied bum
ble-bees have been known to
impart a motion of at least fif-
teen miles an hour to a whole

FREE COINAGE.
AN ATTEMPT TO BE MADE
TO PASS A BILL AT THE
COMING SESSION.
The President Stirred up.
Washington Star.


The workers in the cause of
unlimited coinage of silver are
putting in an appearance at the
capitol. They propose to make
a hard fight to secure the pass
age of a free coinage act during
this session and they are rely
ing on substantial aid from the
democrats. During the last ses-a
sion, when Speaker Reeds pow
er was at it's best, it was with
great difficulty that the free
coinage bill, which was passed
by the Senate by a combination
between a few republicans and
the democrats, was kept from
going through the House, Mr..
Reed then threw his bulky form
in the way, and members of his
party did not care to attempt to
ride over him. In view of the
result of the election and the
wild demand for more money
that is being made by the far
mers, it is not improbable that
the situation may become more
serious this session for those
who think the silver business
might be carried too far. By
his most determined methods it
may not be possible for Mr..
Reed to prevent the passage of
a free coinage bill. 1t is almost
certain that such a measure will
be put through the Senate, and
the House may get beyond con-
troll by the leaders of the ma
jority if the subject is brought
up there. The contemplation
of the possibilities and proba-
bilities of the case is said to give
the President considerable an
xiety, and he is urging the lead
ers to do what they can to keep
the matter from coming up for
discussion. 1t is intimated that
he will have something to say
on the subject of silver in his
message, to discourage any
further meddling with the mat
ter until the law passed at the
last session has been given a
longer trial. One thing count
ed on in forcing the fighting on
the election and the apportion-
|ment bills is that there will be
no. time for the silver question
to come up. but it is possible
that the calculations on this
line may miscarry, for there will
probably be an attemptmade by
the democrats to preach an agree
ment with the silverrepublicans
for the passage of a free coinage
bill and the defeat of the elec-
tions bill.
1t is said. on what appears to
be good authority, that the
Presidents vigorous message
will be confined to an appeal to
the republicans to stand by their
guns on the tariff, to pass an
apportionment and a federal
election bill, to promote our
trade with the Southern nations
by the passage of the steamship
subsidy bills and to avoid fur
ther silver Legislation during
this Congress.

GOOD TIMES COMING.
That's What jay Gould Says in
an Interviews.

evening a reporter interviewed
Jay Gould in regard to his re,
cent active interest in the Unior
Pacific railroad. He said:
"There is nothing strange OF
mysterious about it. knew il
very intimately when it was q
child, and l have merely return,
ed to my first love-"
When asked as to what his
plans were in regard to western
branches, he said an effort
would be made to make it carr
something. This could be done
by a slight advance in rates. A
slight advance would be suffi.
cient to make the road pay. He
disclaimed all knowledge of a
deal with president Oakes of the
Northern Pacific, and could say
nothing about it.
II think" said Mr.. Gould
1--WE shall have good times in
the future. The fact is, it is a
good time, when times are hard,
to prophesy good times. There
seems to be an impression that
| am mixed up in about every
thing, judging from what the
papers say, but the newspapers
would be surprised if they could
see my books to learn where my
investments are. This matter
of investment takes strange
turns sometimes. During the
period when gold was high, peo-
pie boarded up their gold and
put it away in stockings to pro-
vide against a financial crisis.
The low prices of stocks has had
the effect to draw out this money
and it is now being invested in
railroad securities"
Asked in regard to his inter-
est in a transcontinental enter
prise, he said: "There is no
truth in the rumor. l don't
scatter my investment. They
cover a very small amount of
ground" 1t was not a part of
his scheme to obtain control of
the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy and the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific. "If all the
stories are to be believed, l am
reaching out for every impor-
tant road in the country, but /
am not. You would be surpris-
ed if you could look into my
books and see what my hold
ings are. l have confnod. my
self to a certain line of policy,
and the facts, shorn of embel-
lishments the public have given
them, indicate pretty clearly
what that policy has been"
The Wanamaker case was
referred to. Il know the pa
pers say" he explained, THAT
/ went a cunning for Wana-
maker, but there is no truth in
it. 1t would not be possible to
cornera man as / was said to
have cornered Wanamaker.
l have not bought any: Reading
stock. / have all | can do to
take care of my own affairs
without squeezing Wanna
maker by buying Reading"
Cautioning the reporters to
emphasize his predictions that
the financial prospects of the
country were better than ever,
he bade them adieu.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March "a special
TO the Times from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says: The rescuing party that went
down the Stanton shaft yesterday morn
ing after the seven miners shut in by
the fire in the mines Monday, returned
shortly after one o'clock without max
ing any new discovery. They advanced
some distance beyond the point reached
early yesterday morning, and came to
point from which they could see the
light of the blazing tunnel, but could
proceed no further. Along the way
they made the most careful search for
any trace Of the missing men, but with.
out avail. After the return of the
searching party, Mine Inspector Will
Jams and Superintendent Morgan OF the
Stanton mine entered the colliery OF
private investigation. They were sHp-
piled with lamps and had every meant
