In an interview the other day a Phila-
delphia business man said that the street
railway corporations owned the city gov
ernment mt were riding roughshod
over the people,
Where this will eventually lead is a
problem. There is n corporation alone
the traction railway-that in New York
would cause a revolution. 1t kills and
mains citizens right and left and is the
most forcible exponent of the public-be-
damned principle in the United States
today. By the side of it your most reck-
less and lawless crowds are not in it.
We are practically helpless. If this thing
goes much further | tell you there will
DO an uprising of the indignant citizens
of the Quaker City some of these days
that will throw the vigilance committees
and scenes of violence that character
lied the earlier times of California COM
pletely in the shade. The present status
of affairs in Philadelphia is n crying dis
grace to modern civilization.

WHAT HE SAW.
The Night Was Beautiful. but the Pho
ture Had "A Dark Side.

Ahe NtEht WIN bthutlluls out the Blo-
ture Had n Dark Side.
II tell you this is a night fit for the
godsT' exclaimed the doctor as he came
putting and blowing home from the mid.
night train not long ago. Just step to
the door and see for yourself" l did so,
and saw the world like a splendid dia.
mond flashing in the light of the moon.
saw a purple sky, deep and rich as the
velvet leaf of a pansy, so studded with
fiery consultations that it seemed to
throb before my eyes like a fame. saw
agroup of evergreens draped in dazzling
cloaks of snow.
saw n far off line OF bluffs that glis-
tened like the waves of n frozen sea,
hushed in eternal calm. | saw 10000
| times 10000 fakes OF light that sparkied
on the ground as though the earth were
radiating diamond points and jewel
flashes. | saw the cold, opaline expanse
of the lake stretching infinite loneliness
beyond the reach of straining sight.
saw all this and | saw q darker, dead
lier side to the picture as | stood and re-
joiced that the tardy weather had turned
cold at last. | saw miserable homes
wherein human beings crouched to-
gether like hungry dogs. | saw cradles
wherein lay little children whom God
had meant to be rosy and sweet and
warm, but whom poverty had changed
to puny skeletons which moaned and
shivered in uneasy sleep.
saw scanty fires, which hardly served
to warm an inch of space IN barren
rooms, wherein sat wrecks of men and
women who sought in drink to hide the
sting of cold and hunger. | saw young
girls stretch thin and clawlike hands
above n jet of Pickering flame and seek
to draw a little warmth from 1t to thaw
their frozen blood. saw mothers who
clasped starving babies to their shrunken
breasts.
| saw graves whence comfort and a
long surcease from hunger and pain
beckoned with alluring hands. | saw
rags that were the sport of ribald winds,
and behind the rags were tender flesh
and benumbed and breaking hearts. /
saw want and misery and their sister,
care, evermore the companion piece to
good old fashioned wintry weather. /
saw an everpresent background of dark
ness whereon the diamond splendor of
zero weather was cast in all its glory.
saw all this, and felt in my heart to
question God why should such sharp
contrasts be. Why is the earth always
to stagger and groan under its burden of
unmerited woe? Why are little children
born to cry and starve and die like the
cubs of wolves? And why, the earth over,
must it be that one mans wine is another
mans poison, n mans opportunity an
others loss2 It's n queer tumble, my
dear, and he who sets it right has yet to
be born.-Chicago Herald.

In Egypt rowing dogs are less numer.
Gus and less ferocious now han in an.
cient times, but they become at times
terrible to strangers. 1t has often hap
pened to me, when casually passing
through a village of upper Egypt about
midnight, to be reminded when | met
them of the bulldog in one of Dickens
novels, "a bitter of man and u killer oil
chickens for sport, which usually lived
on the right side of the street, but also
hid himself on the left side, SO as to bs
ready to jump upon the passer by"

And mid the PUSHES and the tall grass rank

Naught but the wilderness OF burning light.

REPRESENTATIVES, BLAND saws that
there was one thing in Mr.. Hills speech
which he approved Of This was the
declaration that the voice of the people
expressed through their representatives in
congress, should be regarded as implying
that the president could not with pro-
priety put his individual judgment against
that OF congress IN a matter of this sort.
This" said Mr.. Bland, lis all the silver
men can psk of the nominee. Silver is
not a party question, but a matter to be
decided by the people in the congressional
districts. We would be perfectly satisfied
to have it stated in the national platform
that as a matter Of principle this question
should be Lett TO congress aud that the
president ought not to oppose the will OF
the people"

The Great Bank of England swindIe.
-FOUR Americans, named George and
Austin Bidwell, George Mcdonald and
Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the
Bank of England of nearly e1 ,000, 900.
They accomplished their swindle by tax.
ing advantage of a custom of the bank
which had grown up through the gen.
eral honesty of business men and meth.
DDS in England. The bank was accus.
toned to receive bills of exchange in
deposit on account, without verifying
their signatures or the acceptances.
Probably until the Bidwells began to
experiment on them the bank authori.
ties never had had such paper offered
them otherwise than in good faith.
These men contrived by pretense and
falsehood to secure the necessary intro
duction to the bank officers, and opened
an account with them under an assumed
name. They then had several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and flooded the Bank of England
with these bills from all over the world,
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity. The bank u~nhesitatingly
cashed these and put the proceeds to the
credit of the swindlers, who drew out
the money in ostensible business trans.
actions in such a way as to excite no
suspicion on the part of the bank Of
6cials.
At last the rascals betrayed themselves
by neglecting to date the acceptance OF
two of the fraudulent bills. The bank.
sending these to the acceptors to have
the omission supplied, discovered the
fraud at once. After an exciting chase
by detectives all the men were arrested.
then tried and convicted, and all sen,
fenced to prison for life. In 1888 George
Bidwell was pardoned and allowed to
return to the United States, The other,
are still in prison.-London Letter

The Philadelphia Times claims to have
important and inside information in re-
gard to the relations existing between
Harrison and Blaine, and alleges that
said relations are not only strained, but
''virulent." According 10 this usually ex-
celicnt authority, these two statesmen not
only lock askapce at each other. but miss
no opportunity to "harrass aud insult each
other. The president appoints Mr.. Grin,
nell, a nophew of Vice President Nor.
ton. TO be third assistant secretary o.
state, and Mr.. Blaine not only ignores
him rs an official, but finds it impossible
10 provide desk room for him in the state
department. This is IN payment for the
Diroonl cling in the white house of Just
forty nine consular recommendations by
MIR. Blaine, and other leit handed courte-
sizes from the president. 1t is net likely
that matters will improve as the Mime
apolis convention approaches.

1t Is by the thumb the miller tests the
character and qualities of the grain he
grinds; spreading the sample over the
fingers by a peculiar movement of the
thumb, he gauges its value by the thumb
itself. Continual action in this way

SENATOR TELLER'S LETTER.

A private letter from Senator Teller
which appeaicd in the Denver Netos has
attracted considerable attention. APP
pended is an extract from it:
Harrison has never done. a thing for
the West, aud if any man knows of a rea-
son why the people of Colorado should
aid in his denomination, | should like 10
have him tell what il Is. | do not believe
that he has ever said that he was in favor
OF the coinage of the American silver pro-
such a bill if it passed. [ have consulted
Allison, Morrill, and Sherman and other
opponents OF free coinage. and they say
that they will not support n bill for the
free coinage of silver. and Allison and
Sherman said that they would rather sup.
port free coinage than the free coinage OF
the American product. He said | might
use their names in connection with this
matter. We could not hope to secure a
SINGLE anti Tree coinage man for the free
coinage of the American product unless it
is Warren of Wyoming. and we would
lose the votes of all tho Southern silver
men, aud | think all the silver men out
side OF the silver producing states.
But, il the president is favorable to
such a bill, it cannot pass the house of
representatives. and could not ever secure
a report fiom the committee on coinage
in the house The talk of the Tree coin
age OF the American product Is all bosh,
and. if we do not get free coinage of all
the silver, we will get nothing. We can
pass a free coinage bill through congress
but we know that it cannot become a law
while Harrison is president. Yet such is
the cowardice of party zeal that men who
fully recognize the great importance OF
the silver question abandon it rather than
to a%ntagonize the proposed nomination Of
a candidate that they think has the lead
in tho presidential race. 1t can not be
because it is supposed that he Is espec-
tally strong, for his most ardent sup
porters admit that he Is not so strong as
some OF the other candidates. This ex-
preston in his favor, in my opinion.
arises out OF a desire to be with the win
ming party, and partly, it is possible,
because it is thought that 1t is not good
policy to say anything against a possible
candidate. Yours. etc.
