IN 1NCREpIRLR CHARGE.

For the sake of humanity it is hoped
that the terrible charges against repre-
sentatives Of the Homestead strikers
and certain labor organizations, are
without foundation. The country can
forgive the men for deeds Of violence
committed in hot blood and under con-
siderable provOcstion, but it would not
be possible TO look leniently upon the
awful crime of deliberate and wholesale
murder Of non-union men by putting
poison in their food. Men who could
conceive and carry out so hellish plot
are unworthy Of clemeney and deserve
the extreme penalty Of the law.
As yet nothing definite is known and
nothing has been proven. Arrests have
been made only on suspicion. The
country will await the result Of the
pending investigation and trialF with
the deepest concern and with the fer
vent hope that they may result in the
complete generation of the men. who
have heretofore had the warm sym patty
of the people, from even the ST soicion Of
a crime the enormity OF whieA renders
it incredible without positive proof.

Armour's Gift to Chicago.

CHICAGO, December 12.-Philip ID.
Armour, the millionaire packer, started
tonight for New York on his way TO
Europe, leaving behind him Christmas
gift OF over one million, five hundred
thousand dollars to the city OF Chicago.
Absolutely unknown TO the public,
work had been going on for a year past
toward the erection OF FIVE
story building on Armour ave-
nue. and 1t Is now all but
ready for occupancy This building
will be known as the Armour Institute,
and will be to Chicago all that the
Drexel Institute is to Philadelphis and
the Pratt Institute to Brooklyn. This
building is but small part OF the gift.
In addition to it, and TO- its support,
Mr.. Armour gives 81, 10000 All that
money and brains and labor can do will
be done toward making IL the greatest
institute for manual training science
and art In this country.

Paid the Penalty ofHis Crime.

VIENNA, December 12.-The cody Of
Franz Huber, who at one time had been
a soldier in the Austrian army, was
found to-day hanging from the limb OF
a tree on the Prater. On Thursday last
Theresa Strucket, woman OF question
able repetation, was found dead In a
room occupied by her, with her throat
cut from ear to ear. Suspicion fell upon
Huber. who was known TO have been In
her company. 1t was known that he
was In the city but the police were not
able to find him. The supposition Is
that Huber was afraid to apply any
where for food or shelter, being aware
that to do so would lead to his arrest.
Starving and suffering from the bitterly
cold weather he hanged himself to es-
cape arrest and possible punishment for
his crime.

Assessed value Of
taxed property.

From this, says the spondent in
conclusion, it will be seen that the as
sessed value of taxed property doubled
in the ten years between 1850 and 1860,
and took thirty years, between 1860 and
1890, to double again. The value of
assessed property taken for 1850 Is that
given in the census for that year, and
is subject to subsequent corrections re-
ducing it to under $4,000, 100000, and
the actual increase between 1850 and
1860 was over 100 per cent.
To hoodwink the people into belief
that protection had brought unparalel-
ed prosperity, its benefciaries have in
duced high Federal officials in their
annual reports to contrast the taxed
wealth Of the country in 1860 with the
combine1 taxed and untaxed wealth in
1850 and 1890; and when the President
of the United States attempts in his an
nual message giving Congress "infor-
nation on the state of the Union" to
mislead the peoples representatives
with this protection bunco it is time to
object to thu infamous trick.

The vote of WEAVER in the States OF
he West and Northwest is appended:


Allowing that WEAVER secured 49,
600 Democratic votes by fusion in the
West. his actual Populst vote will be
about 100000
The results of the campaign OF the
Populists may be thus summarized;
They have increased their strength in
Congress by three Senators and four
Representatives, including two Demo
cratic Populists. They have obtained o
foothold in the Legislatures OF nearly
all the Southern and Western States,
and they have gained the support in
the silver-producing States Of large
number of daily and weekly newspa-
pers that have induStriously dissent
mated their theories. Whether or not
the new party has come to stay, as its
leaders assert, may not be determined
until the elections Of 1894.
The Populist leaders say that they
are relatively stronger than the Repub-
lican party was in 1856, and that just as
the Wing party dissolved after the de-
feat Of Gen. ScoTT, so will the Republic
can party, after the disaster OF Novem-
Der, disappear and make way for the
Peoples party.
There is more truth than rainbow
chasing in this if the figures given
above 90 to show anything.

aARRIsON's PROTECTION BUNCO.
A correspondent in the New York
World neatly nabs Mr., HARRISON in
the grossest sort Of an atte mpt to de-
ceive the people in his recent mess age
regarding the prosperity OF the coun-
try under protection. The error is 50
gross that it must, indeed, have been,
if not intentional, the result of ignor-
ance incomprehensibl in man with
all the facts at his elbow. In his mes
sage he says:
The total wealth of the country in 1850
was SIG, l59,6l6,06S.
This, says the Worlds correspondent,
is merely the estimated value OF the
tared wealth in 1860, as the census
specifically states. 1t represents only
81 per cent. Of the total wealth in 1860,
which was S31, POI, 91O,676 The import
ance Of this Misrepresentation is shown
by the use to which it is put:
The total wealth Of the country in 1860
was SIC, l59. 6l6,0S6. In 1890 ii amounted tc
So, SIC, 600, 600. an increase of PSI per cent
The object Of the comparison is to
glorify protection, and to do this the
President compares the taxed wealth OF
the country in 1860 with the combined
taxed and untaxed wealth in 1890.
The census of 1850 and 1860 collected
the assessed and true values of taxed
property only. The census of 1880 and
1890 collected these and added an esti-
mate of the value of property escaping
taxation-equal to 40 per cent.
How important this misrepresentation
is in the interest of the protected trusts
can be seen by comparison of the ac'
tual census figures:

Women who think it so strange that
New York men occupy seats in crowded
cars, elevated and otherwise, while femi.
nine passengers clutch for straps, should
draw the moral from an incident that
happened in Fifth avenue stage a few
days ago. One of those clumsy vehicles
was numbering up the avenue with two
passengers, one a middle aged man sit
ting by the door AT Nineteenth street
the stage stopped, and an old lady, after
bidding an affectionate farewell to a
friend at the step, climbed in and sat
down opposite the middle aged passen-
ger. The latter was gazing idly into
the street, when he felt touch, and
suddenly found himself in possession of
a nickel. Evidently it came from the
newly entered passenger, though she
favored him with neither word nor
glance. 1t was equally plain that it
was her fare, and that she expected the
middle aged man to deposit it in the
box.
After moments hesitation he arose,
CROPPED his way to the forward end of
the stage, dropped the nickle into its
proper resting place, and returned,
glancing involuntarily at the old lady
for some word or look of thanks. None
came. She adjusted her fur wrap and
seemed oblivious of his presence. The
bus rumbled on up Fifth avenue for
some minutes without incident, when
the old lady suddenly leaned over and
said, Stop the stage at Thirty fourth
street" The middle aged man flushed
slightly with evident annoyance, and
said decisively: Madam, you compelled
me to deposit your fare few moment:
ago. and omitted the commonest civil
ties in doing so. | am neither the driver
nor conductor of this stage, and though
should instantly respond to a courteou!
request, you may stop this stage wher
ever you please-for yourself!" and she
! did.-New York Tribune

Egyptian architecture, the Oldest of
known styles, placed the weight firmly
on the ground. In the first stages of
building the strength of materials and
the art of construction were but imper
fectly understood, and to obtain security
masses of material were placed on d
broad base, narrowing upward in the
form of a pyramid. 1t suggested secu-
rity and permanence. The earliest eKtant
monument of the work of mantle
pyramids by the Nile-stlll rest on the
sand of the desert in their majestic
massiveness, The Egyptian buildings
were constructed on the model of the
pyramid. Truncated at various heights
details and ornamentation, however
varied, left the same impression of Sc
curity and permanence.
The shelving base, from which springs
the prepylon or porch the multiplied
ton of short, stunted shafts, the shallow
reliefs, are all subservient to the one
idea. The building rests on the ground
and you know it. The slender obelisl

PERPETUAL MOTION BICYCLE.


The Curious One Wheeled Machine In
vented by st. Louis Genius.
Joseph Brietemmoser, st. Louis me-
chanic, claims to have invented bicycle
which possesses in one respect the valu-
able quality known as perpetual motion.
His model is very curious looking af-
fair. 1t consists of one gigantic wheel,
eight feet in height, made of steel and
copper wire and a small cast iron wheel,
which. instead of being in front or be-
hind, as all small wheels of bicycles are,
is on the right hand side. The rider, in
stead of being perched on the top of the
machine, sits in a small recess about
three feet in diameter upon sliding
seat running upon eight sliding grooved
wheels in the center of the large wheel.
His feet are in straddle position; that
is, one on each side, and rest upon two
foot rests, which are fastened to the seat
by means of steel rods.
To set the curious machine in motion
the rider leans forward, thus changing
the center of gravity and causing the
wheel to revolve. The next move is to
re-establish the center of gravity, but
according to the inventor the center can
not be found and the wheel continues
revolving, gaining speed at each turn.
There is no limit to the speed obtainable.
The edges of both wheels are grooved
and can be used on a railroad track as
well as on the ground. By means of a
peculiar arrangement of canvas, which
covers the steel spokes near the center
and forms an air tight space which ex-
tends around the wheel, the inventor
says the structure can travel in water as
well as on land The canvas, when the
machine is used on land, serves as an
umbrella to shield the rider from the
sun and rain.
The machine can be made to complete
a circle by simply throwing the weight
on the opposite side from which the
rider desires to go. A passenger can be
carried by simply extending the seat tc
the small wheel. The seat does moi
move when the machine is in operation
In fact, it acts as the axle, allowing the
wheel to slide around it. Mr.. Brietem
moser claims that the heavier the loac
carried the quicker the machine car
| travel
The model is as yet very crude look
ing affair. The canvas which serves al
an umbrella and float is ornamentet
