CAUSED BY THE WHEAT CROP.
One. Third of the Freight Cars Now Used
In TRANSPORTING Grain.

One. Third of the Freight Cars Now Used
In Transporting Grain.
The large Western wheat crop is causing
freight car famine. On $500 miles OF
railroad operated by the Pennsylvania Com
pany, one-third of the freight cars are being
used in transporting grain at local points.
The principal call for cars is from the coke
region.
Another cause of the partial famine is the
delay in transferring freights on the various
lines of the Pennsylvania system. The Ohio
connecting bridge is to be opened on Oc-
tober 1. The transfers will then be made
rapidly, and there will not be any more
necessity of holding passenger trains in the
wards until the freight can be gotten out OF
the way The company officials believe
that in time-saving the bridge will pay for
itself in two years.

Work be Done Promptly.
Chief Clerk McKelvey, of the Bureau OF
Health, was at City Hall yesterday after
noon to see Chief Brown. In the latter's

Is the month. The splendid record of July
is to be beaten out Of sight.
Great reductions in prices made, great re-
ductions in the quantities of goods on our
shelves and counters. July made record
for us exceeding anything before known.
But while we were anxious to have goods
go fast in July it is absolutely imperative
that we make the goods go in August. Our
readers know why.
But the "Why" is of least importance.
With to-day we insugurste a scale of
prices that will clear our counters for the
new goods that are already knocking for ad-
mission.

The Great Bridge.

LONDON, January 19.-The pro-
motors OF the project for building a
bridge across the English channel
propose to start the structure Mon
day, January both, between Grisnez
and Ambletuse, 20 pass over two
rocky banks OF the Varne and the
Colbart, ending at Folkstone, dis
lance altogether of about twenty
four and half miles, the greatest
depth being about $50 feet, or about
double that worked in at the Forth
bridge. The bridge will be lighted
at night, each pier forming light
house The total hight of the struc
ture. measured over all from the
bottom of the foundation to the
highest point on the towers, is 600
feet. It is estimated that the work
can be completed in twelve years.
The bed of the English channel
along this route consists principally
Of white and blue chalk strata, by
no means unsuitable for the founda
ton of bridge piers. The main
spans are 1.640 feet by 9S4 feet, the
lesser ones being $50 feet by 32s
feet, clear Roadway OF $50 feet al
high water being allowed for the
passage Of vessels.

No ROYAL Road TO Sporf.

4 farmer owned a trout brook, from
which he was wont frequently to take
fine meSses OF fish. He was annoyed
8 great deal by the trees and bushes in
his way, and so he and his sons cut
away the trees and removed the
bushes.
Now I shall have splendid sport
and plenty OF trout whenever l like
without any Inconvenience" he said
to himself.
But his efforts with rod and line re-
suited only in securing dace, redfns
and brook pike.
WHY'S it, o Brook" he exclaimed
one day, that you so poorly reward
the work l did in removing the trees
and bushes and now give me nothing
but the lower grades OF fshi'
To which the Brook replied: 1T is
just on that account When you re-
moved the cool shelter of trees and
bushes the trout left me and sought
places where sc water is cooler, and
there they bide. There is no short
road to plenty Of trout, and the beau
uful things Of this life are attained
only with constant diHculty."-Nev

SATURDAY, FEB. Is, 1890

The newly completed race around
the world of Nelly Bly, and another
enterprising American woman is a
fresh and amusing illustration of the
fact that the world is moving on.
Not many years ago that extrava-
CANT French romancer, Jules Verne.
was able to startle his juvenile read
ers with the impossible adventures
of an eighty days tour around the
world. Now the time of the hero Of
fiction has been beaten, in actual
practice, by an American woman,
while even the defeated contestant
managed to leave Jules Verne four
days behind. The American girl is
particularly famous as traveller, Sc
that it is peculiarly fitting that one
of the number should break the rec.
ord established by al previous globe

The theory that a specific poison, /

weighed anchor about 10 IN the
morning with crew Of 145 men, but

May % Admiral kempenieldt sailed
with a squadron from Spithead. On
the Doth of that month the crew of
one Of his vessels was attacked with
influenza. and the others suffered in
succession to such a degree that the
whole squadron was obliged TO re-
turn TO port early in June. They
had. in the meantime, cruised only
between the coasts Of England and
| France. and no communication with
any land had been held. About the
same time, another large squadron,

land. under Lord Howe's command.
/ The disease broke out in the fleet
| just at the same time as it did in the
one previously mentioned. although.
in the last case also, no intercourse
had been held with land" In con-
nection with the foregoing, the
reader may be reminded that the
late Charles Darwin, in his journal
of Researches" mentions the out
break of a fever among the crew Of a
man-of-war some hundred miles off
the coast Of Africa, at the very same
time that one Of those fearful Pc
RODS Of death commenced at Sierra

One of the interesting items OF
foreign news reaching us by the last
steamer was the contest which arose
in the House Of Representatives over
ruling of the Speaker. The Dem
ocrats were availing themselves of
the constitutional right of a minori-
ty to obstruct and delay action by
using the usual parliamentary ma
chinery, filibustering as it is called.
In order that there should be no
quorum, some of the Democrats alb
stained from voting when their
names were called. Speaker Reed
thereupon ordered the clerk to rec
ord the names of the Democrats who
had not voted The result was a
vast deal of excitement, cries of car.
tyrant and stormy debate in which
the action of the Speaker was de-
nounced as unconstitutional and rev
olutionary. On the following day.
January 80. the point was, naturally
in Republican House, decided in
favor of the Republican Speaker,
but the Democrats again refused to
vote, raising the point again of no
quorum, and after stormy scenes the
House adjourned without reaching
any final result.
The powers of the speaker of the
House of Representatives are very
great and arbitrary, and it seems
that Speaker Reed is not indisposed
to exercise them to the full extent.
In the present case. however, the
stand that he has taken is not an un-
reasonable one, and will facilitate
the performance of business. 1t is
only by fiction that members of the
House can be regarded as absent,
merely because they abstain FROM
voting. The power of the minority
to tlibuster is great enough and
dangerous enough and does not need
to be fortified and extended BY
means OF strained interpretations
and fictions. The temptation to
make use of the rules of the House
to make legislation impossible con.
stantly tends to lead the minority
too far, both in England and Amer
Ica- An extreme use of this power
Is revolutionary. As it is, the disease
OF all Legislative bodies in all coun.
tries Is their unwieldiness and ineffi.
cheney. Not more than one thirtieth
OF the bills actually introduced in
the House OF Representatives, it is
said, ever pass their third reading
host OF them never reach it. but die
OF Old age, neglect and inattentiou
on the way. With regard to the vast
majority Of bills this is doubtless Nc
misfortune, but unluckily the very
best bills are among those most
likely to suffer this fate. The fact
that SO little can actually be accom-.
plished, is prodigious evil.
The American House of Represen.
tstives has much which it might pro
titably learn, from the House OF
~
Commons, and in no particular is
this perhaps truer, than in the tyran-
nlcal powers of the Speaker.
