The New York World says that,
whereas diligent search and much cbal-
longing have failed to discover a single
workman whose wages have been raised
by the Mckinley tariff, yet Mr.. John
DE Witt Warner has collected, for its
weekly issue, "a truly startling list Of
cases in which reductions have been
made in the wages of men employed in
the shops and mines of protected CAPT
talists. His list includes reductions in
Il iron and steel factories, 10 coal com
ranies, IL wooden and worstcd mills, IL
clothing factories, cotton mills or
groups of cotton mills, 2 pottery cstab.
lishments, 2 glass works and 80 miscel-
laneous industries. The reductions
have ranged from to 80 per cent, and
have affected thousands of workmen
and their families" Not having seen
ti.is list, we cannot say whether or not
it includes the New Castle wooden mills.

The reported remark of Mr.. James
Pennewill, the law partner of Mr..
George v. Massey, that "he believed
Mr. Massey merited the appointment
TO the supreme bench) for his steadfast
support of the President" was doubtless
incautiously made and has placed Mr.
Massey in an unfair light before the
American public, but il is significant
indeed of the low plane occupied by the
administration in the opinion Of Repub-
licans themselves that MIR. pennewilps
first thought should have been-not of
Mr.. Massey's legal ability and fitness
for this exalted position-but of his
claims for political service rendered at
Minneapolis. When gentleman of
Mr.. Pennewill's conspicuousness as a
party leader, one who has been promi-
nently mentioned for congressional
honors, instinctively and as a matter OF
course puts forward this reason-in

1t is not surprising that the Republican
masses should regard the civil service
professions of their national plat
forms as high-sounding subterfuges
which mean nothing and have no
binding power but are only thrown out
as bait for Mugwump votes. In our

in other sections, where MIR. Massey's
political attitude and his fitness for
judicial honor and trust are not matters
of general information, it is not strange
that the probability Of his appointment

should be discussed by the press upon

A Pioneer Railroad.

In an article crediting the Baltimore
& Ohio Company with building the pio-
neer railroad of the world--in the sense
in which the word railroad is under
stood to-day--the Baltimore Sun says:
The Liverpool & Manchester was in
reality the first European railroad. but it
was opened TO The public May I'D, 1890,
six months after the opening of the Balti-
more a. Ohio. The first shovelful of earth
turned in the construction of a railroad in
this country was on July 4th, 1928, when
the cornerstone Of the Baltimore & Ohio
was laid. The first tram was the Leiper
road, in Pennsylvania, in 1S0. 1t was $50
feet long and was for mining. Later, .
similar one. o mile long, was constructed
in Delaware county, Pa, to carry stone to
Ridway creek. A three-mile tram, for
carrying stone exclusively, was built in
Massachusetts in 1897. They have all
passed away The only one Of the pioneer
roads of the world retaining its original
name, and which has ever maintained Il
regular succession OF management is the
Baltimore q Ohio.
II is of local interest TO recall that the
old New Castle and Frenchtown railroad,
part Of which was subsequently dove
tailed into the Delaware railroad, was not
long behind the b. & o. This road was
chartered by Maryland in December,
1897, and by Delaware in February,
1929, was II miles in length and was
completed in 1881. 1t was originally
equipped with coaches" holding ten
or twelve passengers and drawn by
horses. Glasgow and the Bear were
relay stations and the trip from New
Castle TO Frenchtown was made in one
hour and thirty-fve minutes, including
a change Of horses. The rails first laid
were made of wood, and were about six
inches square and from ten to IL feet
long, supported on blocks Of stone
placed about three feet apart. In the
following year (1S32) steam was adopted
as a motive power and the road recon
structed with wooden sleepcrs and iron
rails. In the latter part Of 1889 steam
locomotive was imported from England,
put together at New Castle and placed
on the road. The necessary supply OF
water was drawn from wells and springs
along the road. This old locomotive
the delaware" was very small affair
in comparison with those of the present
day, being not more than ten feet Or Sc
in length and having only one pair OF
small driving wheels. For many year:
after it had been superseded by more
modern locomotives, it stood sidetracked
and rusting at New Castle.

An Experiment in ventilation.

In the new Institute Of Hygiene. at
the University of Pennsylvania, the
steam radiators are set in novel way
and are made to play an important part
in the ventilation of the building. Each
is placed just under q window and is in
closed in its own wooden box, into
which a well regulated supply Of air
from outside is furnished. In the top
of the box, where the heat escapes into
the room, are two wire gratings about
an inch apart. The space between these
cloth, which catches all the dust and
admits only pure air. The plan also di-
reefs currents upward and prevents any
direct draught upon the occupants Of
the room.-Philadelphia Ledger.
