How wanamaker Got There.


Republican organs are accustomed to
treat lightly the charge made by the
Democrats that the present postmaster
general was put in the cabinet as q re-
ward for his services in raising money
for election purposes four years ago
But the truth Of this charge is clearly
established by the admissions of the
very men who helped Wanamaker to
raise that famous $tO0,000 few DAYS
before the election,
The rich manufacturers of Philadel-
phia who contributed most of the great
corruption fund for Quays use, arc
members of the Philadelphia Manufac-
turers' club, an organization of high
protectionists. The organ of the club is
The Manufacturer Soon after Wana-
makers appointment as postmaster gen.
eral this journal said:
"It is to the men that give the cash
that large, if not the largest, share Of
success is due. We make the assertion
that the money contributed by this club
last year had more influence upon the
result of the national election than all
the skill, the ingenuity, the labor and
the wire pulling of all the professional
politicians in Philadelphia. We believe
this proposition to be capable of positive
proof. If, therefore, control of patron
age is rightly the reward of victorious
effort, the right Of this club to name the
federal oficeholders of Philadelphia rests
upon solid ground"
They accepted Wanamakers appoint
ment as the reward for the fat which
was fried out of them, and did not hesi-
tate to publish the fact And the Re
publican party used to boast that it was
the party of high moral ideas!"

Bogus Diplomas,

The police authorities at Berlin have
recently been conducting a crusade
against doctors who use bogus Amer
ican diplomas. Through the foreign
office it has in many instances been as
certained whether or not the alleged
qualifications were obtained after a reg
ular course of study at an officially rec
ognized institution, and where this has
not proved to he the case proceedings
have been taken and the offenders SEN
fenced to pay fine.

Traction Engines on western Farms

West of the Mississippi traction en-.
gines are by no means rare, but they
have not yet been adopted as extensively
as in England, where there are some
thirty makers, and about IL, 600 engines
are used on farms for hauling heavy
freight or passengers, for steam plowing
or as road rollers. They are built as rule
in one of three sizes. The smallest is an
engine weighing nine tons when fully
equipped, and has cylinders eight by ten
inches in size.% The next machine weighs
104 tons and has cylinders 81 by twelve
incncs in size, while the largest weighs
LII tons when carrying 900 pounds of
coal in its bunkers aud 1853 gallons of
water in its tank. 1t has nine by twelve
inch cylinders, and can pull load Of
forty tons up grade of one in fifteen on
good hard road. Generally, however,
It has been found that the most econom-
cal load for good roads and moderate
grades is about twice the weight Of the
engine, and under such circumstances
the largest SIZE will require from 800 to
900 pounds OF coal in ten hours. Single
cylinder engines are now most in favor,
but some of the English engineers claim
hat it will not be long before the COM
pound principle will be in general de-
nand, especially for engines which are
lsed to haul threshing machines from
arm to farm AMI thresh grain on the
ields.-Boston Transcript.
