The Jumpers" used by the ordinary
street cars during the progress Of fire
are of no use TO the cable car, since
there is no way Of enabling the grip to
jump the hose. Consequently long
lines Of cable cars are often delayed for
hours duriug fire on account Of the
ohstruohng hose To obviate all din.
Guilty an adjustable hose bridge has
been invented, which supports the
hose above the cars, leaving the track
unobstruc.ed
The apparatus consists of a simple
trough or cradle made Of gas pipe,
which carries the hoss, and whion is
supported on four gas pipe kgs with
adjustable exten ions for use on un-
even ground. 1be apparatus is so con-
structsd that It may be folded to 90.

An Illustration

Of the value of extensive, judicious
advertising of any article of undoubt-
ed merit is found in the remarkable
success Of the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co., which has simply been
phenomenal, even in this age Of great
enterprises.
Organized a few years ago to manu-
facture new and more perfect rem
-edy than had ever been produced,
a laxative with original and attract
i've features, prepared from delicious
fruits and health giving plants, one
which would be pleasant and re-
freshing to the taste, as we'll as really
beneficial to the system, the manage
ment very wisely concluded to select
the leading newspapers throughout
the United States to make known
to the public the merits Of the new
remedy, Syrup of Figs Recognizing
the TELEGRAPH-CoURIER as most
valuable advertising medium, ar
engagements were made with it for the
attractive advertisement which ap-
pears in our advertising columns
AS happens with every valuable rem
edy, cheap substitutes are being Of
fered to the public but with the gen
eral diffusion of knowledge it is be-
coming more difficult each day to i'm
pose on the public. Health is too i'm
portant to be trifed with, and re-
putable druggist will not attempt to
deceive the public, as they all know

A Practical Lesson on "Who Pays
the Tariff 2"

Mr.. Jerry Heagerty arrived home
from Canada to-day where he bought
1000 bushels of potatoes for the Os-
wego market. The average price
paid was 40 cents bushel. The
duty upon the potatoes is rs cents a
bushel and the freight IS cents a
bushel. The potatoes will retail for
about IS cents a bushel Who pays
the duty tax and freight? The Can
adam farmer, Mr. Heagerty, or the
consumer ?-Osaoego Palladium.
This is indeed a practical lesson .
and no Republican can ask for a
better one. Potatoes are worth 50
cents or more in Oswego. That is
the market price. If the price was
any less in Oswego Mr.. Heagerty
would not be fool enough to go to
Canada to buy, but would buy at
home The Canadian must sell to
Mr.. Heagerty for SO low price that
including the duty of Is cents and
the freight Of IS cents, they will cost
Mr.. Heagerty in Oswego no more
than he can buy for at home. So
the Canadian deducts the duty, Is
cents. and the freight, IS cents, and
sells for the balance of what is left
of the price of bushel of potatoes
in Oswego Is it not clear that the
Canada farmer pays the duty? And
if there was no duty the Canada far
mer would ship his potatoes to Os-
wego and get the full market price
in Oswego, less the freight, IS cents
or 70 cents per bushel, in which case
he would save the IS cents duty fo1
himself, wouldn't he? Is there any
body so dull he can't see that neither
the customer nor Mr.. Heagerty
would get them any cheaper if there
was no duty, but that the Canadian
farmer would save the duty and get
just Is cents per bushel more than
he now does? Such "practical les
sons" as this are particularly salts
factory to Republicans and if the
Palladium has few more such we
shall be glad to aid in giving them
publicity. "-ZHe Fulton Pat110t ana

Difficulties Of Trusts.

And now it seems that the United
States Courts, if they have not met
with complete success, have made a
great advance toward solving the
trust problem without throwing down
our tariff walls and inviting the in
tervention of foreigners to settle a
purely domestic difficulty. The
much talked Of harvester trust has
been unable to come into being.
President Mccormick announced the
fact in these words
The American Harvester Com
pany, after securing the opinion of
eminent counsel from different
States, has been brought face to
face with grave legal obstacles to
the contamination or the enterprise
for which it was formed. These are
of such a character as, that after the
most serious and careful Considera-
ton, the conclusion has been reached
that the whole undertaking must be
abandoned.
The hardest rocks against which
the trust ran, was the decision of the
Supreme Courts of Illinois and New
York, the former in the Gas Trust
case, and the. latter in the Sugar
Trust case, that one corporation may
not legally hold stock In another cor
poration for the purpose Of controll-
ing it. The company attempted tc
float its bonds, SIS, 900, 900 of which
were to be issued for working capital
through the United States Trust
Company of New York. A careful
inquiry was made into the status OF
the American Harvester Company,
with the result that the trust COM
pany refused to make the loan
through fear that the new concern
might be brought into conflict with
| the statutes Of different States pro
hibiting combinations Of capital tC
limit production and to control
trade. Other financial concerns al
SO refused to make the loan, and the
project had to be abandoned.
In no other country under the sun
could this have occurred. There
are trusts in England, in France, in
Germany, and in almost every civil
lied country on the globe. no matter
what its tariff policy, and it is safe
to say that in no one of them would
such "a combination of capital be pro
hibited by law When SO powerful
an organization as this Harvester
Company, with its S5o,ooo,ooo CAPT
tai, can be deferred from combining
through fear of the courts, it is safe
to conclude that the most incongen-
ial soil for trusts is to be found to-
day within the limits of this highly
protected country of ours.

The material for a salon very pos

The material for a salon very pos
sibly exists in Washington, but the
most of it is little raw and un-
husked. The average Congressman
is not going to worry himself into
dress suit, and go to some clever
woman's house merely to talk, to dis
cuss public questions, and say bright
things. He prefers to do that at the
Capitol, and have it printed IN the
Record, or pour it into the inter
viewers ear, and have it spread
broadcast through his district. His
ideas of sociability include a bounte-
Gus hospitality, and are inseparably
associated with bodily food. A thin
wafer with a glass of gooseberry
syrup and water will not satisfy, slim
ulate, nor adequately reward his ex-
pectations, founded upon even YER
bal invitation. He appreciates terra
pin and champagne, and getting
them, seeks for the Interior motive.

and said: 81 know how to do it.
Feed 'em!" And she did, and con
quered, and rose to that ultra circle
which affects to scorn officials and
politicians, and hangs upon the dl-
plomatic corps. The secret Of such
a social success lies solely in the
pocket book, the salad bowl, and the
punch-bowl, and is attained by any
one who will judiciously distribute
their contents. Such circles are the
antipodes of a salon, but it is out OF
the mass of such material that salon
must choose its recruits, and people
more or less affected by such social
standings and surroundings must be
educated and raised to a higher level.
Because Of this general vulgarlty, a
salon is all the more needed as a
place Of refuge for public men and
clever people with trained and re-
fined social tastes. Harper's Brsar
