One Hundred Miles an Hour.

Angus Sinclair, the railroad expert who
recently rode in a very dangerous position
on the engine hauling the New York
CentraPs Empire state express, for the
purpose OF making steam tests, thinks
there remain but two things to perfect
in order to secure regular travel between
New York and Philadelphia, for instance
in an hour and a half or less, or New
York and Albany, 143 miles, in an hour
and three-quarters. These two things
are, first, an absolute reliable and suffi-
cient system of signaling, and, next, a
road-bed and rails brought to a higher
degree of perfection than has yet been
secured even on the best roads. Motive
power is almost perfectly developed, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sinclair, and when the
demand for fast trains is sufficient to
justify the increased cost which more
perfect roadbeds would entail, perfection
will also be gained in this direction.

Good Luck CO.n,s Too Late.

DENVER, May "a striking example
of what fools these NOR ais he" and
how easily men can be unnerved by bad
luck, came To light here. Last We'd
nesday brief account was pub she
of the suicide of Charles :. Clute, who
had come west with the usual idea of
accumulating rapid fortune. but who
had fallen into the iOt of many an ove--
confident youth who leaves comfort an !
friends IN the east under the hallucina
ton that gold Is to be picked up III Colo
rado without the usual grind of labor
and patience.
Two days after the suicide there came
a letter from New York state addressed
to Mrs. Clute, the dead mans young
wife. In it was contained the statement
that Mr.. Cute had just fallen heir to 1
small estate, and that $4,000 in cash
awaited his order 1t came, however,
too late. Late last night the remains
We're shipped To the deceased's old home
in Troy, y. Y, accompanied by Mrs.
Clute.

HENRY GEORGES Protection or Free
Trade, says the Pittsburg Post, is one
of the books Of this generation on politi-
cal economy that is most read. As our
readers are aware, by a combination of
seven congressman introducing parts Of
it in their speeches, the whole book has
been printed in the Congressional Record.
The single takers are happy. Under the
federal statutes parts Of the Record are
furnished as extras" Mt the cost Of
printing, and being now part of the Con-
gressioRoi Record, this entire book may
be had for one cent. Mr.. Thomas c..
Sherman of New York has contributed
100, 900 copies, and Congressman
Johnson of Cleveland, who is wealthy
enough to afford it, has given 1000 for
a second 100000. In addition to this
the single takers all over the country are
rallying for the work OF putting 81 ,OOO,-
600 copies of the book into the hands Of
the people. The Republicans are some
what exasperated. 1t is Il book that Is
steadily increasing Is circulation, even At
its lowest price of - cents, Tut now that
it can be had for one cent there Will be
no end to the demand for it. Apply to
any Democratic congressman for one, a
hundred or a thousand copies.

THE Attorney General OF the United
States, says the Philadelphia Times, has
opened an aggressive battle against the
leading trusts of the country, and has
very properly begun with the sugar
trust The authority for his action IS
the sherman antitrust act that was
evidently intended to prevent Just what
has been accomplished in controlling
the prices for most Of the common nee
essarics Of life.
The sugar trust that lately swallowed
up the immense establishment Of Mr..
Spreckcls Of this city. probably more
tlagranty violates both the spirit and
the letter Of the act of Congress than
any other business combination made in
this country; and as it effects the value
uf one Of the few commodities univer-
sally consumed by the people, there is
eminent fitness in making test case
with the sugar combine.
The administration has begun none
too soon To -uppr ess the logical fruits of
the Mckinley tariff bill. 1t Is the
foundation Of monopoly; it protects cap
ital and oppresseS labor; it increases the
cost of the neceSSarics Of life to working
men and lessons both their employment
and their wages; and the murmurs
which have come up from every side
clearly indicate that the industrial voters
of the country will not sustain any
party, or sanction any policy, that in
vites monopoly for the benefit of the few
and increase taxes to eppress the many.
1t would have been much wiser to
have passed Il reasonable protective
tariff, but since the people who paid
spot cash in 1SSS, to insure special
taxes for their individual benefit, have
coerccd a most infamous tariff policy,
the only thing left for the president and
the encouragement Is to make a gener-
al raid against the trusts and combines
which have been created and fostered 10y
the new tariff policy Of the administra-
| ton.

Terrible Torture.

SAN FEANCISCo Cal, May .. Shanghai
newspapers contain accounts of horrible
tortures inflicted upon the Chinese ac-
complies OF Mason in his foolish re-
bellion against the Government. The
representatives Of all the foreign Govern
ments have protested against these afro
cities The victims were only hired 10y
Mason and did not realize their crime or
punishment.
The legs and arms of three of them
were broken with bamboo sticks. Paper
was burned in their faces till the skin
fell off to make them confess. They
were hung up by the thumbs and whip
ped and allowed to hang until uncon-
scious. Arms and legs have been de-
stroyed forever. Other cruel punish
ments were visited on them and death
resulted in many cases.

The entering wedge for free ships,
says the Pittsburg Post, was the bill that
passed Congress the other day authorlz-
ing American registers to be issued to
two British-built steamers of the Inman
line. If that company is to be favored,
why not others? If it is wise to author
ize our capitalists to buy two ships where
they can be bought cheapest, why not
let them buy dozen? Heretofore the
only two things Americans were not al
lowed to purchase abroad and import
were obscene books and ships. Ships
are now acknowledged legitimate mer-
chandise, and it will not be long before
authority will be given to purchase them
without restriction, and with this will
come the revival of the American ship
ping interest. In 1856 so per cent of
the American foreign trade was carried
on American vessels. Now it is only -
per cent. Our antique navigation laws
have driven the American commerce
| from the ocean.

WHEN we find railroad brakemen en-
ployed by the Cambria Iron Company, a
corporation that has been enjoying for
years the contributions forced from the
people by a high tariff, getting S1.13
per day, it is about time to take in the

thriving and growing fat but when it
comes to paying wages they pay only
what they can get men to labor for.
Protection, in so far as it benefits the
laborer is a greater swindle than the

An Indian Outbreak Feared.

GUTHRIE, O. T., May 11.-Goyernor
Seay to-day received dispatches from the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation,
stating that about 100 Cheyenne Indians
were off their allOtments and had driven
a number of people out of county f.
These Indians claim they never signed
the treaty for the sale of their lands,
and that the whites must get out Of the
county inside of ten days or be driven
out. The Indians are all armed and are
acting very ugly.
At the town OF Cheyenne a line OF
guards are kept about the town night
and day, and the people desire that
troops be sent to protect them at once.
\ large number of Indians refuse to
come to the agency, and unless they are
controlled at once serious trouble will
surely ensue.

A Trip on a Snow Slide.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 1.-THE warm
suns of the spring time are starting the
usual snow slides and avalanches in the
Cascade and the Olympic mountains

debris.

pany trainmen, at JOhnstown, awaited

asked for an increase of wages. Owing
to the benefits conferred on the working
men by the Mckinley bill and which
enables protected industries to pay mann
moth wages these men were getting S1.1
per day and strange to say, were not
satisfied. The general manager after
hearing their complaint discharged them
for belonging to a trainmen's union.
