thinly populated section, and number OF
other reasons of the same exquisite cogency
with regard to through competition, but all
asserting the worthless nature OF the road if
it should be finished. President Roberts
was the leading railroad magnate to make
these assertions on the witness stand. II
the Pennsylvania Railroad now completes
the road it will demonstrate that the worth
lessness of the project only existed as long
as it was in the control of some one else; and
it will be a somewhat grave question for
these eminent railroad officials to explain
the manufacture of testimony to suit the
supposed exigencies of their case.
But this is not the most serious aspect Of
an attempt by the Pennsylvania Railroad
to build the South Penn road under the
cloak OF an intermediary corporation. The
grsvest phase as regards public rights and
the subordination of the creatures of legisla-
tion to the fundamental law. is presented
by the fact that if the Pennsylvania Rail-
road does this, it will be doing exactly what
it is forbidden to do by the general prohibi-
tion of the Constitution and BY the specific
induction OF the courts. 1t is forbidden to
"in any aUdy control parallel or competing
Iine," and especially this one by the iujunc-
ton affirmed by the Supreme Court Of
course the effort to avoid responsibility is used
in the present movement; but that can afford
it no more shield than in the quo trdrrdnto
cases. Two or three Intermediary corpora
tions were employed to shift the legal re-
sponsibility then; but the law saw through
the disguise and forbade any such attempt
to do through an agent what the great cor
poration is forbidden to do for itself The
resumption of the attempt to do the same
thing with changed names can hardly take
any other aspect that deliberate declara-
tion of the Pennsylvania Railroads ability
to override the mandates of Constitution and
courts alike, and lay down its own law, that
no competition shall be allowed in the rail-
road traffic of this State.
Such an avowal carries with it an asser-
ton Of corporate supremacy that is likely to
afford food for thought to every rejecting
citizen of the State.

A HORROR TO MEN.
The Bishop of Manchester Speaks on Efem-
mate Men and Masculine Women.

Auo DIsuOp OI Nkuucueeter 0peuks On Guems
mate Men and Masculine Women.
Speaking at Preston, the Bishop of Manches-
ter said: You all know that women cannot
bear an effeminate man. [Laughter.1 Very
well, then, you ought easily to know that men
cannot bear a masculine woman. [Renewed
laughter.] When a woman puts on the collars
and cuffs, the caps and the waistcoats of men
when a woman initiates the manly stride, and
the bold, manly stare, she becomes a horror
to most of us. But some of the strong minded
sisters would say, II don't care what
men think of me; it is quite enough if am sat-
isfed with, myself" Just so, and venture to
add that the human race will lose very little II
that kind of lady continues to be an aversion to
men until she dies. ("Hear. hear" and ap-
plause. But, ahi ladies, what will happen II
you all one of these fine days take up that role?
believe it would be one of the most awful
caiamities that could befall the human race.
For what does antagonism between the" sexes
mean? 1t means the abandonment of a large
extent of marriage; 1t means to a large extent
tho true source of all the virtue all the grace,
all the strength and all the happiness of human
life.
Ladies, be sure God has committed to you
very sacred trust. First of all, to be the tender
companions and wise counselors of the inferior
sex. Secondly, to be the embodiment of all
those:graces of purity, tenderness and wisdom
which in memory keep your sons noble and
pure, and your daughters wise and good. You
must NOT fail US there, whatever becomes of
the small minority of your very strong-minded
sisters. Now, l am in favor of the higher edu-
cation of women just for this reason, because
believe that by developing to the greatest pos
sible extent the mental and moral and spiritual
faculties of women you will make them better
wives and better mothers.

of an enactment BY itself, much better than
to be tagged on to an enactment of entirely
separate purposes.
The Interstate Commerce law is an exer-
tion of the power of Congress under the In
ter-State Commerce clause Of the Constitu-
tion to regulate single phase and function
of Interstate Commerce, namely the inn
partiality and reasonableness of railway
charges to the public. 1t does not 60 be-
yond that function in any clause, and there
is no reason why is should. Other features
of Interstate Commerce, If enactments are
necessary concerning them, should receive
entirely separate treatment.

A BENEFICENT INVENTION
An Electric Cane Which is Destined to Eli u
Long. Felt Want.


Long.FeIt Want.
The electric cane is really benefcent in
vention. 1t consists of cane, in the interior
of which is stored q large quantity OF elec-
tricity Till spring in the handle is pressed
the cane is as harmless as any other cane, but
If this spring is pressed and at the same mo-
ment a person Is touched with the ferule of the
cane he receives a shock that will stun him for
the next 20 minutes without doing him any
permanent harm The same apparatus is also
placed in the handles of umbrellas and of la
dies parasols.
With this invention man can protect him
self not only from assault, but from casual
bores. A robber demands your purse as you
are walking home at night. You simply touch
him. accidentally. as it were, with the end OF
your cane, and then proceed slowly and peace
fully on your way. leaving him stretched on the
pavement. Or bore buttonholes you, ignorant
that you carry an electric umbrella. Presently
the bore drops insensible on the pavement. and
you leave him to the curious inspection of the
public, knowing that presently policeman
will apnear to arrest him a charge of drunk
enness or apoplexy. The name OF the inventor
of this inestimable weapon is not yet known,
but he is sure to reap the gratitude of every
intelligent man and woman in civilized lands.

The Folly of Fortuue.TellIus.

From the Punxsutawny Spirit.l
The pernicious folly of fortune-telling was
forcibly illustrated in Pittsburg the other day
when young lady committed suicide because
she had been told by fortune-teller that she
would not live month. 1t is most ridiculous
superstition to suppose that an old, ignorant
crone who mumbles off lot of stuff learned
by rote knows any more about your future than
you do yourself, and persons who encourage
such idiocy by patronizing these itinerant
frauds become partners in the wrong.

in the same line. Ten thousand times two
