Wnnderine Apparitions All IN waite
pisif the Scene 1t Midnight.
One day In the winter Of 1922
the dreadful word reached the city
and spread over it like wildfre that
a Monon passenger had jumped the
rails Just north of town and left Ia
its track death and destruction.
The story Of the awful, ghastly
procession, with its blanched faces,
as it came slowly into town ON that
memorable afternoon, is wen remem-
bered and can never be forgotten.
The sight Of those wrecked cars,
smoking ruins, crippled people and
dead bodies on the hillside Is fresh
in the memory Of all.
Since that fatal day a quiet melan-
choly seems to have lowered over
the unfortunate spot. Even horses
and COWS shun it. Birds turn their
fight as they approach it. Only the
morbidly curious have ventured near
it.
One night q leading physician of
this city, who was present few mo
ments after the awful catastrophe
and was an eyewitness to the terrible,
heartrending scene, was called from
his warm bed to see sick man who
resides not far from where the
wreck occurred he told Of his mid
night trip, which, If it did not turn
his raven locks white, gave him q
scare that he win never recover
from. He says that just as he ap-
preached the foot Of the short hill
where the wreck occurred he heard
the distant rumbling Of an approach
ing train.
Checking his horse he waited, and
In moment the north bound Monon
passenger dashed by on its way to
Chicago. Before the bright lights Of
the many windows had disappeared
and the distant rumbling Of the
wheels had died away, while the
long line of heavy, black smoke still
lowered over the hill, a sight met his
gaze that almost paralyzed him with
fear.
With hegreatest difficulty he held
his horse, wild with fright and
plunging and snorting to break away.
Before him, on the hillside, where
the fatal coaches had rolled down, he
saw two figures clothed in white.
They would rise from the ground,
walk about and hold up their white
arms in supplication.
Il never continued the doctor,
believed IN ghosts. But there were
two right before my eyes. ! didn't
feel that / was exactly scared, but
was possessed with sensation that
is Undesirable. It was an awful
moment. / can yet see those white
robed visions walking about on that
hillside. i only remained a moment,
but it seemed to me was there ar
age. Ny horse fairly few up the
hill, over the track and homewart
bound. Idon't believe ! could ge
him near that spot again, even il
daylight. If you doubt what I sa.
Just go out there tonight at 80 ant
I'll venture to say that you will wit
ness the same sight that did. !"
Since the horrible wreck no less
than three accidents have occurred
ON this spot. Charlottesville Cor,

Our readers will observe that there is
o significant and indeed tremendous
difference between the facts attested by
the committee appointed By the Senate
TO investigate the operssions of the Nc
Kinley law aud the campaign falseheods
Of Democratic stump orators and or gan
grinders, who are daily asserting. with
cut a shadow Of foundation, that the
Mckinley law has increased the cost OF
living in this country and reduced the
wages from which that cost is paid.
We DO NOT expect that these false
hoods will cease because Of this report,
Egned by Mr.. Carlisle. the ablest Dem
scrat in the Senate On the contrary,
they will probably be repeated on every
Democratic stump with brazea efroatery
and an assumption of the Ignorance of
the audience, from now till November.
The Republican party. however, is con-
tent 10 poiins.to the facts Of recent lilsto-
ry. The effect Of the Mckinley tariff
as of other protective tariffs before il.
has been to stimulate production, there
By creating greater demand for labor
and greater supply Of products. The
natural result is higher oriees for labor,
lower prices for prodncts-

Electricity seems to be taking band
IN solving the labor problem. What
ever else is disputed, it is admitted, on
the whole, that it is better for the health
Of mankind to work in small Numbers
than to be herded together in great fac
tories. In one branch Of labor silk
weaving electricity has in somC degree
brou GIT back to the good old days, when
people could spin and weave 1t home
and do much other work. At St.
Eticnne, in France, there are now 49,
900 hand looms in the homes of the
weavers who make silk ribbons; those.
too, of the finest quality. The idea can
be adapted TO any industry not reqnlr-
ing heavy and extensive machinery
rhe more labor can thus be diversified
and distributed the happier and more in
dependent the workers will be. 1t may
be that electricity is destined to destroy
the slavery that is SO much talked against
If 50, then electricity will be greater
moral refcrmer than all the preachers
put together. A reform Of any kind can
be easily effected il it is shown to pay.
The time is likely to come when ocean
tides and currents of rivers and water
falls will be used to furnish the electrical
motive power everywhere.

the Democratic party than that Of their
own country. The Herald is one the
same liue that We have held, namely
that the strike at Homestead was not
due 10 the tariff, but WAS fight against
the dictation Of labor unions to those
who gave is members employment.
Our position has been proven correct by
the manager Of Carnegic's works and by
leading striker, stating on the one side,
that the dictation to the Company by the
members Of the labor unions we've intol-
cradle and would not longer be borne.
while on the ether side the labor leader
stated that it was nos a question OF tariff
at all but fight for labor organizations
against the op POSITION of the company.
The anti-tarifF howler viii be compelled
TO look further, for canpliga argument,
than Homestead.
