WHY THE FORCE BILL?

There may be something more ma
terial than sentimental considerations
in the zeal of Senator HOAR and the
other representatives of the Northeast
ern states in the senate in placing the
force bill in advance of the tariff meas
ure. There is suspicion of method in
their mad demand for this bill if all
others fail. In speaking for this class,
the other day, the New York Tribune
said of the force bill that sit has
dozen tariff bills in it," The solution
of this is not difficult. The new South
threatens the industrial supremacy of
The Northeast. Northern and Eastern
capital has been going South in enor-
nous volume in recent years to develop
natural resources and build up manu-
features. The tendency is to increase
these as they are found to be profitable.
An authority on the subject gives for
the first six months of this year, among
the new enterprises liz six of the more
southerly states, 10S cotton and wooden
mills, 80 new iron foundries and ma
chine shops, 16 rolling mills, rs wood
working frctorieS and great variety of
other industrial enterprises. The latest
issue Of the Manufacturer Record
names great number OF industries to
be inaIgurated by Northern capital in
the South this autumn. One of them
involves $2,000,000, and others very
large sums. English and Southern cap
ital, also. are active in the development.
The Northeast has gained its wealth
mainly from its manufactures. In these
1t has no other local advantage than
considerable water power. All the raw
materials-iron ore, cotton, wool, coal
and breadstutfs-mustb be sought in other
quarters. The South and West have
all these essentials that the East must
look for out of its limits. This Southern
development is not only taking away
Eastern capital, but building up
rivals in its manufactures, with
conditions that give least advan-
tages. Cotton mills and iron works in
the South cheaper their products to the
Western consumer. This force biz is
recognized as disturbing element in
the South. 1t is expected to put the
negro in control in some of the states,
and in all revive sectional feeling and
repel capital from abroad. 1t was not
till the carpetbagger and his ignorant
servitor were deposed in the South tn at
any substantial progress in the indus
trial development of the new era was
had. If the old disorder can be re-
vived a check will be given to this dam
gerous competition with the Northeast.
Happily, however, this display of vicious
selfshness is reasonably certain to
prove futile. QUAY's obligations are

this "a blow at American citizenship Is it
not measure to promote the efficiency of
American citizenship? If the GLOBE reflects
the views of its party, it is no wonder that
the epple of this country are unwilling that
it should control our government. Mime
apolis journal.
The above is sample of Republican
argument in support of the BENNETT
law. 1t is not question OF whether the
English language shall be taught in the
public schools. That is being done
everywhere and in every state, without
the aid Of the BENNETT law.
The Wisconsin issue is whether or not
the state has the right to prescribe
course of instruction In the private
schools. The GLOBE denies that any
such right is lodged in the state by the
constitution. The parochial school Is
private affair which is not subject to
public interference, and when the state
attempts to establish a censorship over
private schools we do say that it is a
blow at American citizenship, and as
American citizens we are bound to re-
sent it.

10000 Probable Total

There is a great deal
Of guessing going on
as to the probable
totals under the new
count in 'Pad City,"
and the citizens of "St.
Pad are quite as
anxious over the mat
ter as any one. 1t is
our opinion that there
is not a difference OF
10000 in the two
cities if an accurate
count could be had.
The feeling of bitter
ness has died a good
deal, and our mer-
chants are doing their
usual trade with Min
neapolis people. In
fact, Ransom & Hor-
ton have had a lot of
people all the week
from there, and sold
several Seal Garments.
Minneapolis has al
ways conceded that
there was no such
place to buy Fine Furs
as Ransom & Hor-

mer Sale now going
on has brought them,
in spite of all census

Republican Responsibility.

Philadelphia Times.
There is, therefore, obvious reason
yes. obvious necessity-for free and
searching discussion of the tariff bill in
the senate, and it is absurd for the ma
jority to demand speedy action after
eight months have been wasted by that
majority before the tariff reaches dis
eussion. If there has been unreasona-
BILE delay, it is solely the fault of the
majority party, and if there are I'M
certainty and distress in business cir
cleS because of niue months of contin-
ued tariff agitation, the majority party
must answer for it. That party, and
that party alone, is responsible for
nine months of business disturbance by
tariff disputes, and it must be response
BILE, also, for even greater disturbance
of business confidence by its eagerness
to enact force election bill that is con-
demned by business circles in every
section, and by every party faith.

SOME OF THE INCIDENTS.

One of the singular evolutions of the
census will be that New York state,
with an addition of a million to its pop
ticipated will lose two members of
congress; while Minnesota and Ne
braSka, with an increase of less than
three-quarters of million each, will
gain three new members each. That is
one of the incidents of figures. 1t takes
more people to keep up the ratio. Min
nesota is estimated at 1.415,000, which
may be 100000 or more too small when
the counts from the Twin Cities are
completed. This is a splendid gain of
over 80 per cent. Of the old states Ne
braSka is the only one to exceed 1t in
ratio, and its volume of increase will be
less. Some of the new states have OBJ
tanned nearly all their population in
the decade, and will show but
moderate growth hereafter. Wash
ington. with its $4,000, is the
only one of the recent states that
exceeds the anticipations. 1t has had
boom towns and been flooded with those
who had suffered from prohibition and
drought in the Dakotas. The latter con-
sequently fall behind. 1t will be re-
membered that Senator PIERCE a year
or two ago prophesied that the census
would show 100000 in the two states,
and the computations of the immigra-
ton commissioner made $4,000 in June,
1889. The figures now given are 51S,54
This is splendid showing, compared
with 135, III in 1880, but not quite so
good when put with the territorial cen
sus of 1885,. which was 415,61O. This was
an increase of 102, 1882 in the last half,
against $50, 43S in the first five years.
But, with fair crops, the growth will be
accelerated in the next decade. But
Montana fell behind, too. The con-
gressional report two years ago made it
u.s. 900, but Mr.. PORTER says only 49,
1853. Figures are likely to be ruthless.

Between Two Rocks.

Philadelphia Record.
The proposition to give the tariff bill
the precedence, and to leave the force
bill for future Consideration. does not
please the president. He probably
thinks that Republican success in 1892
hinges ON the possibility of at once turn
ing the South over to African domina-
ton. On the other hand, the wealthy
men who supplied the campaign funds
for 1888 are clamorous for their pay. in
the shape of tariff bounties. AS be-
tween these contending interests, the
mass of the people of the United States
can look on with benevolent Inference
while they destroy each other.
Now, whether Hoar bang Quay, or Quay
HOar, or each do bang the other, every
way the country gains.

ONTARIO'S BIG HARVEST.
The Yield Largely in Excess of
Last Year.

Last L ear.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 22.-The Ontario
department of agriculture has issued a
bulletin dealing with crops, live stock,
etc. 1t is ascertained that the area of
fall wheat is 1927 900 acres less than last
year. and that of barley 174,00O less.
The spring wheat area is greater by
2o3, 600 acres, that of peas by $4,000 and
that of hay and clover by $4,000. 1t is
estimated that the yield of wheat en-
ceeds that of last year by $1,000
900 bushels; that of peas by
2,5Oo,OO0. and that of hay and
clover by nearly 100000 tons. Fall
wheat through most of western Ontario
is of good quality, being unusually fine.
and the crop of spring wheat will prob
ably be better than fair. Barley is light
and not much of it will rank as first
class. The yield of oats is expected to
be light. OF rye there is fairly good
yield, and the crop is pretty well
secured. Peas and corn yield fairly.
The hay crop is magnificent. Apples
yield less than a third of a crop, and
pears yield poorly. The plum crop is
almost a failure, but grapes promise a
tremendous crop in the Lake Erie
region.

DOWN A MOUNTAIN SIDE.
A Gravity Railroad Car and Its
Load. Dashed to Pieces.

/ Load Dashed to Pieces.
READING, Pa, Aug. pa horrible
accident occurred this forenoon shortly
before IL o'clock, on the Mount Penn
Gravity railroad, mountain route en-
circling Mount Penn, 500 feet above
the city of Reading. The road was
opened five months ago. and has been
doing good business ever since. The
cars were taken from point on the
outskirts of the city to the top of the
mountain. a distance of five miles. On
returning, the cars were allowed to go
down the mountain by gravity by way
of another route to the point of starting.
This forenoon about 1880 o'clock, car
containing about eighteen passengers
was taken from the station to the top
of the mountain. This consumed about
thirty minutes. On top of the mountain
there is high stone tower where the
passengers are allowed to alight to en-
Joy the scenery for thirty miles around.
There are different stories as to the
cause of the accident, but it appears
that when the tower was reached, the
point where the gravity portion of the
road commences, the engine was de-
tached, when the car ran away while
the passengers were still oh board. The
distance to the point Of starting is five
miles, and it Is estimated that this was
covered by the runaway car in about
three minutes. the car attaining fear
full speed, estimated at eighty miles an
hour. 1t remained on the track to the
foot of the plane, going around all the
curves. while the passengers shrieked
in their fright and several jumped
off. When the car reached the station
at the foot of the plane, it jumped the
track and rolled down a fifty foot en-
baDkment, where it landed upside
down, with the passengers imprisoned
inside. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed, and soon large crowd gathered.
Doctors and the ambulance were sent
for, and the dead and injured removed.
Four were taken out dead. They were:
CHARLES RETTEW, aged fifty five, con-
ductor of the Inflated car.
EDGAR NJ. LEVAN, an attorney of this
city, aged about forty.
MISS ROSA PFEIFFER, of Reading.

delphia.

Bye and Mary Guthrie. Wilmington,
both badly hurt, and Willie Schmel,
this city, both legs broken. Norman B.
Wimsher. of this city, who was stand
ing at the foot of the plane when the
car came dashing down the mountain,
tells a graphic story of the accident.
He says that he first heard distant
roar as of thunder, and, looking up,
saw the car come down the mountain,
but sticking to the tracks. at the rate OF
about mile in forty-five seconds. He
had barely time to recover himself
when the car. like flash of light
ming, dashed past the station and
down the embankment fifty feet
below. MI. Wimsher was the first
