teri asked the young man who was hold
ing the lines, looking down at me pale
and scared like. On, nothing says l,
only I'd like to have him take notice of
a genuine example of divine justice. A
man 70 keep himself and wife from
starving turns in and helps keep some
hundreds of other families at the starv-
ing point, and this is what he gets for
it. One ought to be able to preach a
very edifying discourse from this topic
to full fed congregation
Then there went up shout, and one
man said, He's no chickenr and another
said, If he is, he's game oner But the
young man didn't say anything. He
didn't laugh, either. don't know what
happened then, but the next knew 1 was
in the car and the superintendent was
asking if anybody would drive it to the
stables. The conductor had skinned out
at the first volley, and the superintendent
didn't seem to fancy the job of driving
himself. Then the young man spoke up
4 think the drivers are right, he said
The company treated them like brutes;
but they had no right to lnJure this man.
I'll drive this car for him until he gets
able to take his place, if it's month, if
you'll keep him on your rolls
Then the crowd cheered, and the su-
perintendent, seeing how the land lay,
said that was all right, took out his book,
and asked the fellows name. He said he
didn't want no pay-just send the money
to me. Then he told them to call off the
police and he'd drive the car to the
stables. So the police stepped back, and
he said to the women on the sidewalk

ladies, and take a ride at the company's

pany ever had who could treat his friends

claring that the reward was to be paid for

sides, the farmers who brought in the
biood-thirstY wretch's body were not sure
1t was Porter until after they had shot
him. The Adams county board has, to
say the least, not acted in good faith; the
reward was offered for an escaped muir.

suit and the board cannot honorably do
otherwise than meet its obligation.

The IInseed OIL Trust.

The linseed oil trust is girding up its
loins in order to make n struggle for the
spoils which the Mckinley tariff law
puts into its reach. The trust has been
compelled within the last four months
to reduce its prices about ten cents a gal
lon. There are a number of indepeud-
ent pressers of linseed oil who have been
giving the trust no end of trouble, ana
although the McKinleyites raised the
duty on this oil from p cents a gallon
to 81 cents, this outside competition HIS
thus far prevented the trust from reap
ing its Mckinley spoils.
The linseed oil men, those in the trust
and some of those outside of it, have re-
Gently held a meeting in New York in
order to put stop to competition. The
result was an agreement fixing prices in
the various cities, these prices being for
the present about one cent per gallon
higher than the prices prevailing before
the meeting. 1t is said that 81, 200, 900
Of capital was represented at this meet
ing, and that all the principal houses in
the country were represented except
three or four. These" the report ADDS,
"have been taken care of, however, liz
the arrangement, and they are expected
to fall into line" The ground for this
celief is the statement that they had
nothing to lose by doing 50, as they have
been provided for amply.
There will thus be included in the COLI
Germs in the agreements all those in the
United States except certain small houses
which are of only local Importance.
When the linseed oil trust was formed
four years ago the price of oil was 80
cents a gallon. The trust forced up
prices, till last year, ct the very time
when the Mckinley bill was in course of
preparation and discussion, oil was be-
ing sold IT from Gl to "a cents a gallon.
from .. to 30 cents above the price in
England, the duty being 25 cents gal
Ion.
Although no manufacturer came be-
FORE Mckinley, so far as the published
reports show, to ask for higher protec-
ton, the duty was nevertheless raised to
- cents. a suspicious circumstance
about this duty is that the house had
voted for so cents and the senate for %
cents; vet when the bill was reported
from the conference committee the duty
lad been raised to y cents.
The price will doubtless be put up
again after the house gets itself into
better shape 20 control the matter.

B1atDe's Grin on Harrison

The situation in Mr.. Harrison's cabi-
net has been strained for long time, OBJ
serves the st. Louis Republic, and it must
grow more and more unpleasan Mt as 1891
wears into 1892 Mr.. Harrison must feel
that MIR. Blaine is overshadowing lin,
taking what little credit there is to be had
for the work of tie ad ministration and
leaving him to bear the load of odium for
the rest. This could not fail to be in the
highest degree exasperating. even if Mr..
Harrison were not bent On being renom>
mated. His situation is full of EN- bs1rass,
ament. His Importance in his party does
not at all compare with that of Mr.. Blaine.
He cannot be blind to the fact that if
he were to demaEd Mr.. Blsine's resig-
nation he would be crushed
at once by Mr. Blaine's partisans.
II is situation in which. however anx-
ious he may be to put Mr.. Blaine out
openly, it would be unsafe for him to do
1t, or to attempt any thing more than the
petty snnoyances which though they may
be intensely humiiating and annoying to
MIR. Blaine, would be yet more degrad.
ing to him were he to notice them or to
make them public as reasons for his re-
tirement from the cabinet.
Lis plain that in spite of all "snubs"
and covert insults Mr.. Blaine has long
ago made up his mind not to retire from
his position without formal demand for
his resignation. His position is entirely
tensble in spite of all Mr.. Harrison can
do short of that. He can undergo any
amount of petty humiliation, and as long
as he says nothing himself his parti,
sans will go on hurrahing for him as the
greatest republican in the party-as the
only man of brains in the Harrison ad,
ministrstion. Unless he allows Mr.. Har.
rison to force him to retire, his nomiua-
ton seems inevitable. Mr.. Harrison is
30 entirely discredited in the republican
party that il he thinks he has a reasona-
Bile hope Of being renominated against

hcan who thinks SO. By abandoning
hope for himself and forcing Mr.. Blaine
out of the cabinet he might use the office.

LAYING BIG PLANS.
American Association Men Are the
Planners.

BALTIM ORE. July 9.-The Sun says:
While the American association players
are battling for the championship, the
officers and managers are laying big
plans. They say positively that arrange
ments have been made to place club
in Brooklyn upon short notice, if any of
the present eight cities withdraw. 1t is
announced that two wealthy men of
Brooklyn have agreed to back the new
project with $1,000 at the outset, and
have the promise of grounds much more
accessible to persons who attend games
than Eastern Park.
Coupled with the Brooklyn move,
there is general acquiescence in the
design of forming separate and West
ern leagues. 1t is said Baltimore,
Washington, Philadelphia and Boston
In the association, and the BostonLeagUe
club favor the plan. The attention of
those who advocate the division is 10
work for the entire system OF profess
sional ball as soon as a compromise is
effected with the league. The Eastern
circuit, according TO the present hope,
is to consist of two clubs in Boston, two
in Philadelphia and one each in Balti-
more, Washington, New York and
Brooklyn. The Western circuit is to be
made up of Chicago, Pittsburg. Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Louisville,
Milwaukee and Kansas City. with pos
sibly one or two changes. Thousands
of dollars have lost owing to the large
outlay necessary for travelling, and it is
believed the drain can be stopped by
shortening the jumps.
