Rajah Rajagan of Rapport hella.

From tho northernmost part of British India in the Punjab comes to us to visit our Worlds fair his royal highness Ja- jat Jit Singh, rajah rajagan of Kapoor. thella, one of the most loyal of British provinces. They say he has an income equaled only by that of some of the princes in the Arabian Nights" More over, one of his wives--his fourth-is with him, and she is the first Indian princess who ever visited America. But the gentlemanly reporters, who cannot tell lie, declare that she cannot be called handsome.
 Welcome, Jajat Jit! If you have as much money as they say you have and are going to spend good chunk of it at the Worlds fair, Chicago will think you are the greatest Indian prince that ever was. You can learn some things from us, and we can learn some from you. If you stay n little while among us and take pains to be instructed, you will learn in America the richest and most extensive vocabulary of slang that ever any one country possessed. You will also learn how good are pumpkin pie and corn roasted in the husk. You will learn to know the science of re3or- torial interviewing in such perfection as nowhere else exists
 As for us, we can learn from you how to speak the English language properly and in a musical voice. Perhaps some anxious and worried married men :Lay discover, too, how you manage to get on comfortably with varied as 'ortment of wives. where they find it difficult with only one.

to ravage

It has been found that coal loses by evaporation and wearing away when it is exposed to weather. This IS true of both hard and soft coals, but more es: pecially of the soft varieties. In course of q not very long time bituminous coal has been found to have lost one-third in weight and to have only half the value of freshly mined coal for gasmaking purposes. Persons who leave quantities of coal exposed in open yards are there fore subjecting themselves to serious loss.

The Italian authorities appear to have been suppressin3 news of the presence of cholera in Naples. It would be strlnge if cholera should net appear in Ma. les if that disease existed anywhere within i0, ,000 miles of the town, for Naples is tEe filthiest place in the civilized world. It is doubtful indeed if Naples can be called civilized. EthnoloSists say the aGmixture of heathen negro blood from the north coast of Africa is strongly marked in the lower classes of Neapoli- tans. At any rate, the city is most of fensive to refined eyes and nostrils in spite of all the beauties that nature has lavished thereabouts. That cholera should be in Naples and scarcely a case of it anywhere else in Europe outside of Russia is clear proof that where lack of sanitation is there the pestilence delights to ravage.

THE Journal regrets that eleven Re-
publican members were wheedled into
voting yesterday for the natural gas
bill giving companies the right to cut
off such consumers as they please.
There is no politics in the measure. of
course, but the Journal appeals to Re-
publican members because it knows
they are open to reason and want to
vote for the right. This measure, for
Which such powerful corporation
lobby is working necessarily, is wrong.
1t is not so bad as it was. but it is still
bad, and no man who has the interest
of the people at heart will vote for it
with a full understanding of its effect.
1t is the purpose of the gas crowd to get
a reconsideration of the bill this morn
ing, and if they succeed the Journal
sincerely hopes that these eleven Re-
publicans will also reconsider their po-
sition and get on what 1t believes to be
the side of right and the people.

ANOTHER substantial triumph is add
ed to the achievements of President
Harrison's administration in the COM
plete surrender of Canada in the matter
of placing discriminating tolls on all
freights passing through the Welland
canal and destined for any American
port. The practice had prevailed for
quite long time and no way had been
found to put stop to it. AS freights
destined for Canadian ports were ex-
empt from this toll the effect was very
injurious to American railroads, depriv-
ing them of an immense amount of traf-
fic from the Northwest by way of the
Welland canal and giving it to Canadian
roads. All efforts to induce Canada to
act fairly in the matter having failed,
President Harrison determined to try
the virtue OF retaliation. Accordingly,
in August, 1892, he issued a proclama-
ton directing that from and after Sept.
1 all freights passing through tho st.
Mary's Falls canals d estined for any port
in Canada should pay toll of 90 cents
per ton. this being the Canadian toll on
American freights. This was tit for tat.
The Canadian government squirmed,
protested and clustered, but Uncle Sam
stood firm. Now. after less than six
months experience of the retaliatory Or
der. the Canadian order has been re-
voked, and the President has also re-
voked his order. The victory ia COM
plete. and the result will be very ad-
vantageous to American railroads and
shipping ports.
