VOLATILE MERCl KY.
Mercury reaches his greatest eastern
elongation on the 23d This means that
he is at his point of greatest distance from
the sun during this period Of his swinging
around the circle Every now and then
Mercury bobs up serenely, and We are
somewhat surprised to see him, and often
wonder why we have not seen him in ap
parently the same place night after night,
as we do the other planets. His volatile
disposition evidently needs closer watching
than that of the other members Of the
solar family so Old Sol keeps him close
under the paternal wing and only occasion
ally allows him to wander far enough from
home to be seen by mankind. A night or
two only are We allowed to see him, for the
old man pulls the string and away goes
towards the sun, keeping up his pace until
he reaches the end of his tether on the
other side of the sun, when he gets another
pull and back he comes again. When at
the end of his western trip he can be seen
about as long in the morning sky as we
now see him in the evening twilight.
Mars we find bearing south, as he
reaches our meridian, at about O'Clock in
the evening, but, not having proved the
great success as advertised, he is getting
away from us as rapidly as possible, and
has already shrunk to less than half the
size he was at the time we were trying to
find out all about his canal system and
other wonderful features. His CHEEKY
ruddiness still clings to him and his identi
ty is quite easily determined, but for the
present his glory has desparted, and those
who would disclose the secrets of this
wonderful planet must now content them
selves as best they may and wait with pa
tience the developments that they conf
IDENTIFY believe will follow when he is again
favorably situated for observation.
Uranus and Neptune keep so far from
the powers of our unaided vision that we
have to take largely upon faith what is
said in relation to their locality. That
they are larger and more beautiful than
what we are actually permitted to see, as
the less-distant planets move about among
the stars, can perhaps well be imagined,
but where everything is left to our imagi-
nation our interest in the visible is natur-
ally far greater when considered from a
practical standpoint. The discovery of
these far-distant bodies marks some of the
most wonderful feats in astronomical sci
ence, and the fact that they never come
fairly within range of our natural vision
must ever be regarded as among the great

B. Hage, teacher of public school in
Warwick township, Lancaster county, Pa,
under bail for trial at court ON the charge Of
having beaten one of his pupils, Minnie,
the 14-year-old daughter of W. H. Wike.
The evidence showed that he had beaten
her until her flesh was bruised and welts
were raised on her back. Great indigna-
ton is felt against the teacher in the town

approve his action.
During the Cleveland administration
eighty-four millions Of acres of the public
lands were restored to the people from
thieving corporations, syndicates and land
grabbers, and scores of millions more were
in process of restoration. The Harrison
administration has not only stopped all
this, but has so perfected the titles to these
lands in the hands of the holders that a
future Democratic administration will find
it difficult if not impossible to restore these
stolen lands to their rightful owners.

The Imported Domestic Tin Indus
try.

A leading importer of tin-plate in Balti-
more has been making inquiry as to the
effect and operation of the Mckinley tariff
duty on this article This importer says
that American tin plate is practically a
myth, and the only effect of the increased
duty is to put greater burdens on the con-
sumers of tin-plate. "All the tin-plate
made in this country" he says, sis manu-
factured from imported sheet-iron, timed
with imported tin lead, by imported Welsh
workmen using imported Welsh thinning
pots and brushes. There is nothing do
nestle whatever about the article made here
except the facts that the plant in which it
is manufactured stands on American soil
| recently wrote to the Treasury Depart
ment inquiring if tin made entirely from
imported material would be regarded as
the American-made article within the
meaning of the Mckinley tariff act. Mr..
@. l., Spaulding, the acting Secretary of
the Treasury, replied that all such tin would
be regarded as American made. This de-
cision is considered rather broad and liberal
in view of the wording of the Mckinley
act on this subject The importer has
prepared table comparing prices under the
present duty of , 2-l0 cents pound and
the old duty OF ! cent a pound on the
leading brands of roofing tin, also the price
at which such brands coald be sold if there
were no duty whatever 1t is only neces-
sary to give these comparisons on WOrces-
ter, the leading brand, and Allyn MASTERS,
the lowest brand, to form an estimate of
the injustice to consumers by the present
rate of duty. At the present rate a box
of Worcester weighing PIG pounds costs
sl2, under the one cent rate it cost S9.4l, /,
and if there were no duty at all it would
cost only 1925, difference of s4.75 from
the present price A box of PIG pounds
of Allyn MASTERS now costs $1,000, under
the one cent rate it would cost S7.95, and
if there were no duty at all it would cost
s5.Tl.

How Farmers and Millers Are
Cheated.

A book called "a Gigantic Conspiracy,
has been published in the West showing
how farmers and millers in the East are
plundered by gigantic combine of the
elevator companies. Pillsbury, the flour
king, Senator Washburn and other promi-
nent Republicans are shown up in a very
unfavorable light Fac-Simile letters are
published showing that in endeavoring to
borrow money in France, the syndicate ad
nit their earnings to be from 30 to 80 per
cent Another fac simile letter frem the
Pillsbury Company to man who wanted
to erect an elevator and made inquiries of
Pillsbury as to the profits, is given. In
his reply to this PilIsbury gloomily says
the elevator companies are not making
over e per cent. on the capital invested.
The book says that these elevators are
built at railroad stations and wheat is
bought from farmers only at prices agreed
upon by the syndicate. If farmer Oh
iects to the price the railroad companies
acting for the monopolists, refuse to let
him have cars in which to ship his wheat
to terminal points. Farmers, too, are
cheated by having their wheat docked, by
undergrading and underweighing at the
elevators. The lower grades of wheat are
sold. too to Eastern millers at the price Of
the best grades, and thus Pillsbury and
other flour kings are enabled to make bet
ter flour than their competitors. Again
the inferior Western wheat is sent to
Europe and this fixes the price in the
United States for the best wheat The
farmers of the Northwest, it is said, are
being made thoroughly aware of the
frauds practiced upon them by the wheat
combine.
