A SATISFACTORY REPORT.

The annual reports of crops and busi-
ness prospects in Western Pennsylvania,
Eastern Ohio and West Virginia, made to
the Pittsburg agency of R. G. Dun & Co.,
are presented in this issus. They exhibit
the usual local variations, both as to the
condition of crops and the outlook of busi-
ness; but the tenor as whole is salts
factory. The cereal and hay crops at
presens shov promise above the average.
Fruits have been somewhat injured on the
lowlsnds, but fair yield of the most i'm
portant fruits is at present indicated.
The conclusion justified by the aggre-
gate information furnished in the reports
is that the agricultural regions of this dis
trict are tolerable well assured of a fair
yield in the net result this year, and the
conservative prosperity that follows
abundance in the harvest. With this
fundamental factor of prosperity, trade
may present temporary and local features
of dullness! but it is certain of steady
and satisfactory total for the year. A
section like ours, with good crops to be
exchanged for all that is required to sup
ply the varied needs of the farmers, is sure
to give its contribution to an active COM
merce. The report therefore gives us the
pleasant assurance of comfort and plenty
on the farms of this section and fair pros
perity in the mercantile interests that
supply them.

THE MINING LAWS FATE.

The discussion in the Mining Institute
yesterday brings out another unpleasant
feature in the record of the Pennsylvania
Legislature. It seems the new mining
law, after having been framed by the
State Mining Commission, got through
both Houses with soms amendments, but
was carefully shelved when it reached
that point and did not get to the Cover
nor.
The terrible disasters at the Hill Farm
and Mammoth mines had before the meet
ing of the Legislature clearly proved the
necessity of more adequate provisions for
the protection of life in coal mines. With
the knowledge that the lives of thousands
of workers are daily exposed to the dan
gers which iudiciouS legislation might de-
crease some influence was strong enough
to stop the needed legislation. The init
nations of corruption in securing this re-
suit made by the speakers at the Institute
arc not very definite, but the fact that the
measure was quietly strargled is suff1-
cient to make the record in this respect
especially discreditable.
In the same connection it is interesting
to notice that the speakers yesterday took
the same position that THE DISPATCH has
done with regard to mining disasters,
namely, that the use ofeafety lamps would
greatly reduce the dangers of the mines
Mr. Simmer stated that many of the dis
asters would not have occurred if safety
lamps were used, while Mr.. Blick fur
nished a convincing proof in statistics
showing that the use of locked safety
lamps in English mines has reduced the
death rate over fifty per cent.
THE DISPATCH has always urged the use
of safety lamps as a protection against
mining disasters. Miners and mine owners
should unite in requiring their use, and the
law should make it compulsory on those
who have not enough care for their own
and others lives to use it voluntarily.

A Means of Defense.

Those persons who have had the good
fortune to meet the vivacious Ros1na Vokes
may recall, along with the vivid impression
that the actress made, the no less vivid i'm
preston that was sure to be left in the minds
of those who saw her maid, says the Toronto
Natl This maid, who is especially devoted
to her mistress, has not been literally en-
dowed by her Creator with those attributes
that go to make up che sum of personal
beauty-in fact, is that next best thing to
being beautiful-being gloriously ugly.
A friend relates how, during her recent
tour in this country, while the actress was
performing here, she found herself in need
of some article from the chemist across the
way. 1t was late at night after her return
from the theater. Hannah, the faithful maid,
was asked to go and get it. But Hannah
urged mildly that it was late, and she
feared to go into the street alone lest some
man might annoy her.

THE COMPULSORY EDUCATION VETO

Commenting on the report that Gov
ernor Pattison had indicated an intention
of vetoing the compulsory education bill,
THE DISPATCH said, some days ago, that
such veto might be properly based on
the details of the bill. At the same time
it showed the foolishness of antagonizing
the idea of compulsory education as "a
socialistic idea,' which was the view ex-
pressed by some of our contemporaries.
The veto shows the Governors action to
be based on proper grounds. If the bill
lacked clearness in its essential provisions
it should not be allowed to become law
Especially if law on compulsory educa-
ton fails to provide for the right of parents
to secure private education for their chill
dren, it is a measure of such hasty nature
as to be entirely unworthy its subject.
But in vetoing this bill the Governor does
not indulge in any foolishness about COM
pulsory education as socialistic idea. He
is too clear-sighted to stultify himself by
making an arraignment of the policy of
requiring the rising generation to be edu-
Gated, which would necessarily include in
its condemnation the free-school system
as it stands to-day.

Taking 1t Cool1y.

Marshall P. Wilder is never chary Of his
stories, says the New York Telegram. Either
they are inexhaustible or he doesn't fear
that they will lose their edge by private
repetition. Here is one that is great go in
London this season:
1.-TWO Yankee sailors strolled into show in
Guatemala, where prestidigitateur was en-
tertaining the audience. A parrot perched
on the back of the bench where they sat.
After every surprising feat one sailor would
turn to the other with the remark: That
was pretty goodl wonder what will come
nextf' This was repeated till 1t made the
parrot tired. Presently one of them threw
down a burning match with which he had
lighted his pipe. 1t fell through a crack in
the floor and into a powder magazine. Bif !!
went the whole building, people and all, and
nothing was left but hole in the ground
and the parrot, which was uninjured, though
badly shaken up. The bird pulled itself to-
gether, Strengthened out its feathers, tapped
its way to q heap Of ruins and croaked:
That was pretty good! wonder what will
come next2'"

HOT WEATHER ABsURDITIEs.

This is the season when hot weather
advice makes its appearance in the
columns of esteemed contemporaries. The
ability to keep cool, if it We're possible, or
if il is not to minimize the discomforts of
the heated term, is no doubt very desira-
ble; and the attempt to instruct people
how they can effect that consummation
Gevoutly to be wished for is highly phil
anthropic Nevertheless, the sum total of
the advice thus pressed upon the public is
apt to degenerate into mixture of alb
Surdity and impossibility more creditable
to the heart of the public mentor than to
his head
Thus we find in highly esteemed ex-
change a list of shot weather don 'ts," by
which its readers are expected to lessen
the miseries of the heated term. By
perusal we learn that the man who is to
enfranchise himself from the tyranny of a
a 9O-degree temperature must neither
hurry, worry or complain; he must not
wear Starched linen, suspenders or a vest
he must not toy with either the seductive
cobbler or the foaming beer; must neither
over-eat or starve; must not run after
street cars, indulge in warm baths OIL
political discussions, or sit in gas-lit rooms;
is forbidden to lose his temper, get into
debt or to lose any opportunity to get out
of town over night; and, finally, must not
ask anyone if it is hot enough for him, but,
in short, must Give calmly"
After a conscientious effort to carry out
all these rules of hot-weather life, the ex.
perimenter will be apt to conclude that

Where Everything Is Taxed but
Whisky.
b. f. Horn, manager of the Cristobal mine,
In Bolivia, South America, has written q
most interesting letter on the subject of
mining to his father, Robert Horn, of wash
lngton county, which is produced in the
washington Reporter. Mr.. Horn gives q de-
scr1ption of the Pulacayo mine, which, last
year. paid in dividends 50, 900 O0o0 The mine
is situated 500 miles from the coast and the
greatest expense is necessary to mine and
market the metals
Ihere Is no fuel within 30 miles of the mine
ana 1t requires $500 worth daily to furnish
the engine. There are 600 men employed at
the mine and s,GG0 more at the benefciating
establishment, seven miles away. At Auto
Iagasta there are 500 women employed as
sortlng the ores. About $50 900 is daily ex-
ported to Europe. The mine is l. 100 feet In
depth and is developed about 500 meters. 1t
is found difficult to get rid of the water, as in
one smart alone "a gallons per minute must
be raised. 1t is SO full of acid that pipes can
not be used and is taken out in large bags
made Of cowhide
1t costs over 800 per ward for the timbers
IN the mine and is shipped from Oregon or
Puget Sound. Often a swell in the grounds
cause several thousand dollars damage.
After the ore is on the surface it Is assorted,
then transported to the benefciating es-
taDlishment, where it is stamped into
powder. 1t then goes into vats of quick
silver where it remains three hours. Every
thing that adheres to the quicksilver is
gathered from the bottom of tina vats and
pressed with pinas, after which the quick
silver Is volutized and used again. The
plnas are then put into another furnace,
smelted and run into bars for expectation.
This bullion may contain several different
metals which must be separated as there are
no refining works there. .-..-
The above is brief outline Of the princi-
pal industry of Bolivia. Gold, silver, cop
per, lead, bismuth, antinmony, tin and
minerals are known to exist, but the above
are the only ones found in paying quantities.

Haughty Little Alfonso.

Alfonso Kill, Spain's small King, has an
idea or two of his own as to the privileges OF
womankind, says the Chicago Times. few
Sundays ago, at one of the weekly dances at
which he is the host q pretty girl of II years
won his little Spanish heart, and he showed
his susceptibility by choosing her repeatedly
as partner. At the end of the dance the
children, as usual, began embracing and
kissing each other goodby. Alfonso made
straight for his diminutive favorite with
open arms. She shrank away coquettishly
and refused even to let him kiss her cheek.
Alfonso looked her over, turned his back,
and walked away. On the following Sunday
the little girl was present, but the King did
not dance with her. When the ball closed,
however, she went to him and turned her
cheek to be kissed. Alfonso took step
backward, stretched out his hand that she
might kiss it, and said:

while recently THE DISPATCH has
commented on the extravagant appropria-
tions of the last Congress and the aban-
donment of the Republican record Of
keeping up a surplus revenue available
for the payment of the maturing of the
public debt. The inability of our Repub-
lican cotemporary to see any difference
between using incorrect assertions and
correct ones in criticising financial pol
icy is perhaps natural to an organ of its
class; but there is hope that it will learn
something on this point if it continues its
present careful study of the editorial col
umns of THE DISPATCH.
In fact, our friends the organs on both
sides will be able to profit greatly if they
keep on reading THE DISPATCH as care
fully as they seem to be doing They will
thus learn the great difference it makes If
a newspaper is able to speak freely and
recognize existing facts, no matter which
party they favor.

DON'T Tax Whisky.

1--WE tax everything but whisky in my
town, and there isn't drunkard in the
place." said John Ganse, guest at the Tre-
mont House, to Chicago Times reporter.
"For goodness sake tell me where you're
FROM" said Clerk OBrien, reaching over the
counter and grasping the mans hand and
shaking it heartily.
Eyes, sir" went on Mr.. Ganse, "there isn't
a drop of liquor that is taxed in Caithness,
Isle of Groat, Off Scotland, and stranger still
there ant a saloon in the place. We make
our own whisky there and it's so cheap by
reason of there being no taxes or restrictions
on it that saloon couldn't sell enough in a
day to make it pay. Whisky is retailed in
the stores at 25 cents a gallon, and no less a
quantity is sold, and the people come to town
so often and have their jugs filed and take
them home and have a drink whenever they
please. The whisky is pure as it can be made,
and never saw anyone but a nonresident
drunk there. The people look upon whisky
about the same as Americans do cider, and
never abuse it's use. This condition of things
has existed for over 100 years and was the re-
suit of some sort of an agreement made with
the islanders by the English Government.
There isn't any Whisky Trust there either"
