obtained in the second story, with closets
for each, and a stairway leading to the

The open timber roof, with its wide barge
boards, the triplet windows and orna-
mented stringcourse shingles, picturesque
dome window which lights and gives
head room to attic stairs, and finally the
odd looking chimney top and handsome
front door complete the effect of the
whole.

BEEN VOTING SINCE MADIsON's TIME
And Stopped Drinking Whiskey When He
Was Eighty.

PITTsBURG, March 15.-Western
Pennsylvania has some very old citi-
zens. Jacob Steel, of Masontown, Fay
cite county, is 102 years old. He voted
for James Madison, and has voted for
every Democratic Presidential candi-
date since. Mr.. Steel lives with his
daughter, Mrs. Sally Bise, a well-pre-
served lady of IS. His age is authenti-
Gated by his first marriage certificate
and by the records of an old-time JUS
tice of the peace which are still eXtant.
His first marriage occurred in 1872,
when Mr.. Steel was "a years of age. He
never used tobacco, but was great
whiskey drinker until his SOth year,
when he stopped because the quality OF
the liquor sold then in Fayette County
had so deteriorated that he could not
drink it. He numbers among his
descendants ten children, thirty-eight
grandchildren, seventy great-grand-
children, and some of the fifth genera
ton. Mr.. Steel expects to vote for the
Democratic candidate for President in
1892.

deposit at 81 ton, it is idle to think OF
increasing the royalty as against MIN
ers outside of that river.
And if the monopoly hitherto
possessed by the Coosaw Company, by
means of which it has practically abb
sorbed the Sea Island Chemical Com
pany and the Oak Point Mines Com
pany, shall be allowed to continue: 1t
is only question of time when the
other three companies will be forced 10
suspend operations or be likewise ao-
sorbed.
The main question is as to the right
to increase the royalty, for our obser-
vation of the mining around Beaufort
has led US to believe that exclusive
rights are not detrimental to the States
interests and that it would be best Tor
the State and the miners We're all the
mining done by one company.
Iwould call your attention to the
fact that yourToher to allow US the use
of one of your dredges with which TO
test and make examination of the ter
ritory hitherto occuI I'd by you coulo
not be accepted, because the offer III
volved the payment by the State OF the
mining expenses and promised so little
practical knowledge that we did not
feel authorized to make such eXpendl-
ture.
Whether there is much or little rock
in the Coosaw River is not at present a
matter for our consideration. Whether
there is a variation in grade which re-
quires peculiar skill, possessed by your
superintendent alone, to mine pront-
ably is not the issue.
The ruinous lawsuit which your
company has inaugurated, and the
tenacity with which it fights for this
territory, will rather influence mems
opinions as to it's value. 1t was our
earnest desire and hope to have saved
the company from such loss and the
State a decrease of revenue. But the
question by your act has to be decided
by the Courts, and neither the dignity
nor welfare of the State could be main
tanned, as we see it, had we agreed to
the proposal you made.
Realizing how heavy must be the
loss to your company in the deteriora-
ton of the plant and disorganization OF
labor, we would further suggest that,
pending the lawsuit, YOU take license
to mine outside of the disputed terri
toy along with the other companies
which have been driven out of CoosaW
by the injunction Of the United States
Court, as it is possible you may thus
make running expens2s. This is not a
disinterested suggestion, but it IS mace
in good faith. Yours respectfully,

A Socialistic Commonwealth.

The Australians are state socialists, and although their new constitution proposes to recognize the independence of the states in a far higher degree than that in which it has been allowed to exist in Canada, yet it vests the virtual control of the whole railway system of Australia in the federal power, which will be shock to your American minds, whether north or south of the Canadian border line.
 The great majority of Australians have confidence in the power of the state to do much for the people, and in the wisdom of it's exercising this power. You in the United States, the Cana dians across their border, the conti- mental governments, are far behind even old England in this respect, and it would be of advantage to the world that Australia, which is much before us all, should have the opportunity of putting it's doctrines into practice upon the largest sca1e.-Sh Charles Di1ke in Forum.
