To Pat Calhoun and bis friends is attributed
the whole movement, aud even Mr.. Inmsn.
president of the Danville Railroad Company,
the Offending party. is supposed to look on
with dry eyes at this destruction Of his own
work.
SHORTS RATHER DISAPPOINTED.
In anticipation Of the effect Of this receiver
ship bomb. those in the secret are said to
have heavily sold short Terminal securities
Thursday and Friday. Certainly there were
large transactions in all kinds Of stocks and
bonds, expecting. no doubt, a complete
smash to-day, but although there were
declines Of several points in all
classes, there was free buying and
the followers Of the Olcott committee are still
unterrifed, and the plan of reorganization
has not been deraied by this receivership
obstruction on its track. There is no doubt
that sufficient cash subscription can be OBJ
tanned for the reorganization. but the Olcott
committee seem to have pride in sticking to
their original programme despite the ''unex-
pected" which has happened.
CONDITION or THE GEORGIA CENTRAL.
If the true condition Of the Georgia Central
is shown up in court many holders Of its stock
and bonds will have their eyes opened to
situation they did not suspect, and will dis
cover that they are neither strong nor inde-
pendent and will find better provision for
themselves in the combination thanin separa-
tion. II is very unfortunate that the most
able and far-reaching effort ever made to re-
store credit to these great Southern railroad
properties should be disparaged aud OBJ
structed by Southerners.
SOLELY FOR REVENGE.
Personal pique and wounded pride have
more to do with this receivership business
than the protection of property rights and
vindication of the Constitution Of Georgia.

Comparison Of Wages.

John Jarrett, of Pittsburg, one of
the leading statisticians of labor and
wages in this country, who has Just re-
turned from his post as United States
Consul at Birmingham, England, is
writing a series of articles in which he
pic ,ures a dismal state of declining
wages in English industries.
Mr.. Jarrett declares that in man
districts of the great English manufac.
turing centers the condition of skilled
labor is worse than thirty years ago,
when he was a resident of Great Brit
ain and acquainted with the conditions
then existing. He has ascertained that
in Staffordshire, which is pictured in
England as the most prosperous region
Of that country, skilled puddlers of iron
get only eight shillings per ton for
their labor, whereas they received
twelve shillings per ton thirty years
ago.
Under the Democratic revenue tariff
in lSo9-6O American puddlers received
SS 80 Del ton for the same work, but are
now receiving So so per ton under a
protective tariff, with iron selling lower
than at any time in the history of the
country. There is no cause for reioic-
ing in this degradation of English la
Dor. But it is an indication of what
the masses of workers in this country
would suffer under Democratic free
trade.

The Line of Lakes.

The above name has been applied to
the Wisconsin Central Lines ON account
of the large number of lakes and sum-
mer resorts tributary to its lines. Among
some of the well known summer re.
sorts are Fox Lake, ILL.,, Lake Villa,
ILL.,, Waukesha, Mukwonaga, Cedar
Lake, Neenah, Waupaca, Fifield, But
ternut and Ashland Wis. These lakes
abound in numerous species of fish,
such as black bass, rock bass, pickerel,
pike, perch, muskallonge, while sports
men will find an abundance of game,
such as ducks, geese, quail, snipe, etc.
In the grandeur of her scenery, the
charming beauty of her rustic land
scapes and the perfection of her summer
climate, the State of Wisconsin is ac-
knowledged to be without Il peer in the
Union. Her fame as a refreshing re-
treat for the overheated, cureworn in
habitants of the great cities during the
midsummer months, has extended
southwark as far as the Gull OF Mexico
and eastward to the Atlantic. Pam

in articles and illustrations of current
and timely interest. Scenes aud Incl

ing horses in the race, accompanied by
an appreciative descriptive article. The
recent disaster by fire and flood in the
Pennsylvania oil regions, and also the
devastation made by the great storms in

carefully drawn and accurate illustra-
tions.
THE Round Table" is the name of a
new department which has just been
opened in Harper's Young People, and
which is to represent an association of
the same name, to which all boys and
girls who desire to become members
may be admitted upon their application
wi bout fee and without conditions
One of the most remarkable books of
the year, and one which will result in
the revision of many current ideas re-
speeding the history of the American
colonies, is The Puritan in Holland,
England, and America, by Douglass
Campbell, which Harper and Brother
have ready for immediate publication.
The author calls this work an Intro
duction to American history but it is
much more. 1t is a history, on novel
republican lines, of the great Puritan
movement, which, beginning in the
sixteenth century, rejuvenated England
and shaped the character of the people
and institutions of the United States.
1t is a book which will provoke 10 lit
tie discussion and controversy, and will
lead to many surprises and the clearing
up of not a few historical difficulties.
