speaker, "he was riore than poet.

more closely together. He WAS one Of
those true Americans, TO whom the
slaves owed their freedom"

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
A Letter Comes Addressed TO Mrs. Polk

Washington, August l5.-A queer
coincidence Is being noted today by the
employees at the White House, in con-
nection with the death of Mrs. James
X. Polk. Yesterday mornings mail
brought to the mansion, among other
packets. = letter addressed to that lady,
care of Xbite House. 1t was forwarded
without attracting any particular
notice beyond the comment that 1t was
odd that anyone should send mail to
Mrs. Polk here, after forty years had
elapsed since he. occupation of the
Presidents mansion. The oddity was
doubly impressive, when later in the
day Mrs- Poik's death WAS announced.

Away under Ground.

Leach Bros, of Pitman, havo been
putting down a drill well this week on
the grounds of the West Jersey rail-
road at Glassboro. The present open
wells do not supply the tanks at which
the locomotives take water. If the
drill proves successful number of
them will be put down, making gang
well such as are sometimes used to
supply cities. Messrs. Leach have re4
Gently drilled well at Sewell for +.
Anspach 412 feet, from which they
have a flow of 1000 gallons per hour,
with capacity of 5000 gallons. This
success was made after the job was
given up by other drillers who worked
year at the job. At a distance of 342
feet below the surface they drilled
through log ten inches in diameter
which had the appearance of being a
cyprus. At $50 feet below the surface
vein of Ignite eighteen inches thick
was found; this Ignite, which is coal
in process of formation, was tested and
burned as readily as coal. Who knows
but this section of New Jersey may
sometime turn into bed of coal.

WHAT SHE SAW.

Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar, an Indiana tem-
perance lecturer. recently had sad expert
enee. She writes from st. Louis that she
was passenger on the Grafton train,
which for five days was closely following
the Hearst funeral train. The Grafton
train caught up with the Hearst excursion
train at Ell Paso. Eek, and from that point
10 ST. Louis was but short way behind It.
We quote the language of the lady:
Such disgraceful proceedings on the part of
men high in the Government service l never be-
fore saw. Their baggage-car was full OF vine
aud liquor. From Tie dinlng-rUOm Of tie Graf
ton train We could see tier after tier of Wine
boxes stacked up. They were oreniDg bottles
every minute night and day, and at many stop
ping places invited people into lie baggage car
to diInk.
1t has been authoritatively denied that
the train which conveyed the remains of
the late Senator Hearst from Washington
10 California was converted into 4 junket-
ing excursion. 1t apl ears, however, that if
the presence of the remains commanded
decorum on the outward trip the return
must have been an orgie. Mrs. Cougar dis
tinctly states that she spoke only of what
she saw with Der own eyes. The excursion
cost the Government something ike 1900,
and will be cheap if it hurries the end of
the custom of making the deaths of Con-
gressmen an excuse for lunketing trips.

OUR MINISTER TO CHINA.

Since Mr.. Tusi Kwo Yin, the Chinese
Minister, has signifed that the appointment
of Senator Blair is acceptable to his Gov
eminent, there does not seem any obstacles
in the way of the conversion eff the New
Hampshire Senator into an American Min
lister. The New York San attempted to
create some opposition to MI. Blair on the
ground that he had been somewhat free in
speaking of the influence of Chinese quar-
ters in' American cities. The San thought
Mir. Blair too strongly anti-Chinese, while
the people of this Coast regarded him as
representative of the New England pro-
Chinese sentiment. NIr. Blair, therefore.
appears as happy compromise, which
ought to be acceptable to both parties 1t
is not likely that Mr.. Blair will have much
to do in China. He viii not be invited to
frame new treaties. the one now in existence
having been fractured in vital points by
the American Government. lie will prob
ably be allowed to flock all by himself in an
Enclosure set apart for Western barbarians.
II the Chinese Government sees fit to enter
a protest against the Exclusion Bill which
will be introduced into the next Congress,
it will do so through its Western Minister.

FIXING PRICES.

The New ! OTk FiEdHcieF crittciZes Sena-
or Sherman's assertion that the Government
cannot fix the value Of a bushel of wheat
nor of an ounce of silver. The Findncier
thinks that if the Government should offer
to buy wheat at twenty-five cents more a
bushel than the market price it would fix
the price Of wheat for a time at least But
it admits that the prices might drop when
the Governments store of money was eX-
hausted. OF course Senator Sherman did
not expect to be taken literally. A very rich
Government might FIX price upon any kind
of merchandise temporarily. But when the
artificial stimulus of an uncommercial price
should be withdrawn the law of demand and
supply would assert itself. But this law of
demand and supply is in Itself partly the
creature of legislation The increased use
of a thing which a Government can order
increases the demand and unless the article
is such that the supply may be increased at
will, an increased value will follow an in
creased demand. If we take god and sill
yer as an illustration, neither being ar
ticleS that can be produced in unlimited
quantities, we. find that legislation
friendly TO one has increased its market
value. There is no doubt but that
the decline in the market value OF silver,
which began in 1873, was accelerated by the
characterization of silver by Germany. The
United States about the same time dropped
the silver dollar from its list of coins, and
consequently was not in q condition 10 coin
silver when the market price of that metal
would have made coinage profitable. The
Latin Union in Europe also ceased 10 coin
silver except in limited quantities, thus
forming a combination against the white
metal This combination was aided to some
extent by the increased product of silver
compared to that of gold, which marked the
period of its early decline. The assumption
is fair that rs nnfriendly legislation has
caused depreciation in the market value of
silver, friendly legislation will aid it to re-
cover. But no legislation can overcome the
influence of large and permanent increase
in the production Of silver if such should
be established. Senator Sherman therefore
was right in saying that Government cam
not fix the price Of commodities. LPgisIa-
tiGn may influence prizes while fiuctuatiOn
in the amount Of prodHct is limited to the
usual range, but it cannot fix prices except
it can control the amount OF product.

DOUBLE oFFIcE-HoLDING.

Mr.. David B. Hill of New York now holds
two Of the three highest Offices in the gift of
the people. He is Governor of the Stale and
also enc Of the States Two Senators in the
Federal Congress. Since the 4ih of March
he has been both Governor and Senator.
Mr. HIS friends defend this douhln office
holding on the ground that the Senator's
active duties DO not commence until Deem
Der, unless meantime an extra session of
Congress should be called. But the right to
hold two Offices should not depend upon
conditions. If ne cannot perform all the
duties OF both offices under III probable cir
cumstances, lie should hand one of them
back to the State. While the theory of our
Government assumes the harm onious opera
ton OF two sets OF laws, one State and one
national, it d, es not follow that one set may
not tresuass uron the legitimate sphere of
the other. Within a prescribed limit the
State is sovereign, and without that limit the
nation is sovereign. Both State and nation,
therefore, need representatives whose duty
it is to secure to each Government its con-
stitutional rights. One man, therefore,
should not fill both a State and national
office at the same time

WESTERN DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S

Western opposition to Mr. Cleveland as
the next Presidential candidate is growing
Some prominent Western men still lock
upon Cleyeland's nomination as fOregone
conclusion, but they regard it as a dan
gerous experiment. Senator Voorhees, of
Indiana says the Democrats must find an
other candidate. Senator Pugh Of Alabama
declares that ClereIand's uncompromising
hostility to silver disqualifes him for the
position of Democratic leader, voorhees,
thinks the party should look west for q can
dida.r, and names Gray of his State as an
available man. Gray and German would in
lis opinion make a strong ticket. Cleve-
lands tenacity of opinion is considered an
objection to him as a Presidential candidate.
lie Will not move peg to meet the party.
He considers himself the mountain TO which
Mohammed must come if there is to be a
meeting. Democrats are also afraid that
Mr.. Cleveland would recommend a policy
Of strict economy which would interfere
with national enterprises in which the body
Of the people are interested. They realize
that it viii be dangerous to stop work on
sea coast Notifications or to withhold appro-
priations for the construction of navy.
While it is still probable that Cleveland will
be the next Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, such a result does not seem so
well assured as it did month ago.

LOOKING INTO 1T.

Some of our American writers have dis
covered that the Copyright Act passed by
the late Congress does not benefit the right
people. Shirley Dare" welIknown let
teF-writer, says that it viii benefit pub
fishers and printers, but not authors. The
combination that pushed the Copyright Bill
through Congress in the last hours Of the
session rejected the best measure ever Of
Tered to promote the interests of authors.
That was bill providing that any publisher
ii any country included in tile international
Union could publish any work ofany foreign
author on condition that the title-page Of
each book showed stamp purchased of the
anthor. The stamp might be for cents. 10
cents. % cents o. whatever the law might
determine, but whatever it was it would Sc
cure the author Of the work an interest in
every copy published. Publishers would
have no monopoly and the stamp wonld
only add its face value to the American
lTiee Of the book. The stamp would not
prevent popular editions and consequently
large sales. But what Shirley Dare terms
"the lcp-eared meekness of writer's" in
duced that class of workers 10 give what lit
tie influence they have to the Publishers
Copyright Bill. which provides for mo-
nOpoly.

THE MAFIA INFLUENCE.

A dispatch from Rome says that Signor
Nicotera, the present Minister of the In
terror, is in close relations with the secret
society known as the Malta. Signor Nico-
terra may be said to be the Malta representa-
tive in the Di Rudini Cabinet II this dis
patch is true-or half true-the action Of
the Italian Government in coming TO the re-
lief Of the New Orleans Malta is compre-
hensible. The life of the organization in
New Orleans was threatened. Bands of
assassins and blackmailers may eontriYe TO
get hold on courts, but when the people
move against them as at New Orleans the
day Of judgment has come for them. In the
United States an appeal to the higher law
is like the birch III sehool-room--it should
