The Cost OF Newspaper.
=. Dl,ss. l.r-hE. De-.

From the Philadelphia Press
The great public that reads its newspaper
every morning at the breakfast table has only
a vague idea of the proportions to which the
business of publishing those Journals has
grown. Some facts and figures given in an ad-
dress By Mr.. James W. Scott of the Chicago
Herald before the worlds press congress will
help to a better understanding Of the subject.
Mr.. Scott is president Of the American News
paper Publishers Association. IN organization
of $50 newspapers, claiming to represent abo1t
so per cent of tie daily newspaper circulation
in the United States and IS per cent Of the
advertising.
The capital represented by these $50 news
papers, Mr.. Scott asserted. exceeds 500 000. 900
and the amount they paw for labor is Sl00 900 u
day. or $50. 100000 year. The other expenses
of these newspapers, he said. would bring their
total outlay 10 at least S75 000. 000 and perhaps
$50, 000. 600. There are newspapers whose an
nual business reaches $1,000 600. while nearly
every large city in the country has one or more
newspapers whose annual business reaches
s. ,000.0o0 As Mr.. Scott remarked: This
may strike you as startling, but it only shows
the enormous growth Of the newspapers of
America In the last fifteen or twenty years"
In fact, there is no business today better
organized and demanding a higher class of
talent and greater sagacity and energy than
the publication OF newspapers. In no business
has keener and closer watch TO be kept Of
the signs of the time, and nowhere else must
there be greater willingness to assume re-
sponslblllties and sacrifice the present to the
future. Mr.. Murat Halstead illustrated this
fact when he snoko Of the pecess;tv ~ ,broy-

that no change would be needed until the

The last cut represents another gingham
dress. This one is made with q pointed yoke
and four three-cOrnered breteles, two in back
and two in front. This dress is gathered only
at the waist. az bingham dresses made in this
way make one look smaller. Ribbon bows and
riD:.on belt trim the dress, and the reveres
and skirt have heavy lace on them. A pale
green pink and white stripe Bingham with sage
green velvet ribbon and white lace would be a
dainty combination for this dress.

should be made up on white Innings. as this
makes them fit smoothly and keeps the wearer
looking trim. This lining is made up Just as a
separate corset cover and is trimmed and edged
with lace, and is joined to the dress itself only
at the under-arm seams and in front. With
this sort of a dress no other corset cover need
be worn. Surplice dresses will look well when
made up with the corset cover lining. The
dress shown in cut five is made in this way.
The fullness which comes from the shoulders is
laid in tiny pleats at the waist. The whole is
trimmed with narrow dainty lace and colored
ribbon. The material is figured swiss or, if
preferable, fine India linen.

Another evening waist, with the empire effect,
is shown next. The waist, which is perfectly
tight fitting and buttons in the back. is made
OF white silk. with girdie and trimmings of a
light dull green velvet. Tho square neck is
bordered with several rows of The narrow velvet
ribbon; and whers the sleeves are gathered to
the arm other rows are placed. A twisted piece
finished by knot, encirces the wrist. The
girdie is fuiled into the under arm seams and
reaches almost to the armhole, being brought
down to point at the waist line. velvet
Tosette is placed in front and another in the
back. Full rufiies of fine white silk lace bor-

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Senator Chandler Charges the Demo
rsxata NTH In-ouaistannu

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Senator Chandler
managed to give political twist to the de-
bate In the senate yesterday on the auto
matte coupler bill. He brought up reso-
luton in the national Democratic plat
form which denounced the Republican
party and the Republican senate for not
having provided legislation for the protec-
tion of railroad employees, and insisted
that the position of SO many Democratic
senators against the bill was inconsistent
with their party fealty. He twitted them
with the fact that only eleven of them had
voted to take up the bill for the repeal of
the Sherman act, knowing the declaration
of the national Democratic convention on
the subject OF silver, and knowing the en-
treaties of the president-elect to have the
Sherman act repealed before the 4th of
March, and he predicted that the course of
the Democratic senators in the next con-
gress on the subject of the tariff would be
equally at variance with their party plat
form. Mr.. Wolcott (Colo.), while arguing
against the automatic coupler BILL said
that no other senator than Mr.. Chandler
could have found u political advantage in
it. No action was taken on the bill.
In marked contrast with the interest
taken in the proceedings of the house on
Monday was the lack of attention paid to
the routine business of yesterday. And
yet the house on Monday accomplished
nothing Yesterday it made fair progress
with one of the great appropriation bills
the legislative bill, appropriating upwards

At one point the track of the Pittsburg

miles the tracks are piled high with ice,
and telegraph lines have been carried away.
The many factories along the river have
been compelled to shut down. At Freeport,
on the Allegheny river, three squares back
from the river is inundated, and people are
fleeing from their houses, which are being
pounded to pieces by the huge blocks Of
ice. Many boats and RATS of lumber have
been torn from their moorings and des-

OPPOSED TO PiRKERTONS
The Homestead Committee Con-
demns Their Employment.
MAJORITY AND MINORITY AGREE

Congressman Broderick's Report Favors
Compulsory Arbitration Law-Reme-
dies, Says the Other Minority Report,
Must Originate with State Governments.
on the Homestead troubles, which was
published and so freely commented upon
during the recess of congress, is accom-
panied in its presentation to the house by
minority reports expressing much the
same general conclusions in different
way. Mr. Oates declared that the tariff
had nothing to do with the trouble; that
the evidence was conflicting as to which
party fired the first shot, but the tendency
of the testimony was to show that the
Homestead strikers were the aggressors.
Mr.. Oates expresses the opinion that
agencies like the Pinkertons should never
be employed without the consent Of the
state, previously obtained Before the
vote was taken Mr. Bynum offered his
report, which avoids comments on the
course of either party, but his motion WINS
defeated by a tie vote of four to four, and
then the Oates report was adopted.
Representative Bynums $ repor6,in which
Mr.. Layton, of Ohio, joins, and in which
Representative Stockdals concurs, al
though he thinks it does not go far
enough, condemns without stint the en-
ployment of Pinkertons. A summary of
the evidence in the Homestead affair is
submitted without comment, and the hope
is expressed that the though%of the age
will devise some means to secure an equit-
able division of the profits between en-
ployer and the employees. In conclusion,
the opinion is expressed tha the evils dis
closed by the investigation are entirely be-
yond the reach of federal power, and that
remedies, If any can be devised, must
originate with the state government.
Representative Broderck, in minority
report, says that in closing of factories and
other works public as as well as private
rights are involved, and he maintains that,
although it would be an Innovation it is
legal for the states to pass compulsory ar
duration laws.
