he excused if she adopts something less
desperate to attract attention. But it's a
question if the carrying into execution of
carefully arranged plans in many cases
does not entail much more hardship than
ii all is worth, even placing a high value
on the fact that bitter rivals have been
turned green with envy. Last week the
daughter of New York millionaire
mounted her horse and with her husband

tho picturesque country in Pennsylvania
returning to New York in the fall. L rid

at time at fair market price, the
purchaser TO pay In sums
of not less than -.
On these sums the interest Is to be credited
and when the share is paid for, he can
if he wishes, begin the purchase of
another. 1t is hoped to enlist every frugal
person in any way connected with the
railroad as a partner, on a basis of utmost
hberaEty to the small proprietor. 1t is
not proposed to form savings bank, or
benevolent association. the experience of
the company heins that men prefer to
handle these matters themselves The
purchaser may at any time have his con-
tractcancelled and the money returned to
him with interest.
This company assumes the entire risk of
the fall in price OF shares and the expense
of doing the work. President Fish'S be
lief is that this plan properly presented
will induce greater thrift among the men
and through their example spread among
the people habit of saving and investing
In securities of the railroad which runs past
their doors. The object is to produce a
community of interest between the citi-
zens and railways which shall give per
fection of railway service and the most
profitable investment for the small pro-

the clap-trap sophisms of protection. The

full of woe, and pregnant with calamity
1t declareS-does this bleating association

Only think of it, Mr.. Blaine for free

a HOME THRUST
Reed Wincing Under 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jaly 8.-The bill for the
forfeiture of certain land grants being up
for discussion IN congress on the 9TH, Mr.
Stone (Mo. took the position that a for
feiture should be made Of all lands which
had not been earned by the railroads at
the time fixed in the granting acts for the
completion of the roads The Northern
Pacific, he said, was most vitally interest
ed in this measure He quoted from
speeches made by Mr.. Payson upholding
the right of congress to forfeit the lands
unearned at the time fixed by the grant
ing acts, and attacked that gentleman for
his alleged change of front. The
speaker (Mr. Reed) in the Forty
Seventh congress. when chairman of
the Judiciary committee, had reported, Re
said, that congress had no power to forfeit
an acre of the Northern Pacific grant
Since then Thomas B. Reed had been the
recognized friend and jealous champion of
the great, arrogant and corrupt corpora
ton on the floor of the house. 1t was an
open secret which had been audibly whis-
pered throughout the country that no in
tuence had been more potential in the Or
ganization of the house than that exerted
by the Northern Pacific railroad

DRY BONES RATTLING.
All on Account of a Letter Written by
Republican.

The Chicago Times says editorially:
THE letter on Wisconsin politics signed
Republican. which recently appeared
in the Times, has caused great
rattling of the political dry bones in the
Badger state. The Madison Journal Is
greatly excited about it, and struggles
Violently in the effort TO apply sufficiently
abusive and vituperative language to the
writer. 1t states reason for believing
that the writer is not a republican, and
SAYS that reason is ali-suficientfor even
a wayfaring man " The Times would
state for the information Of the irate
Madison editor that it positively knows
the writer to be republican, or at all
events 10 have been one until recently.
republicanism mas not been called In
question. and has been repeatedly aeknowl-
edged in substantial way. he is, more
over, republican who knows pretty well
what he is talking about.

4 Revolutionary Year.

We regard it as safe to say that, if the
present session of congress shall pass the
Mckinley tariff bill and the new Force
election BILL or either of them, Pattison
will poll over 100000 votes in this city
and receive a majority over DeIamater in
both city and state This is revolution
airy year; revolutionary party power in
Washington has already filed the air
of Pennsy Ivania with revolution and
the people themselves can always
beat the leaders in revolutionary action
when they start Oh that line Washington,
not Pennsylvania, is the storm center for
Quay and Delamater this year; and if
Quay cannot halt revolutionary party
policy following bankrupted treasury in
Washington. he must be prepared to ac-
cept both personal and party defeat in
Pennsylvania. hiIadeIphia Times.
