Raw cotton. glass and earthenware or
an unsheathed spear or kris are equally
anathena, all the articles mentioned be-
ing offensive to the hantu or spirits
which haunt the mine.
Assuming that the pawang is engaged
by p mine owner at q fee varying from
G15to Gao, his first business is to erect a
platform or altar, constructed of spe-
ciaI kind of wood. The four branches,
which serve as supports, have the bark
peeled off for about Al feet from the
ground to where the twigs begin. The
leaves on the latter are not removed
A square platform, measuring 10 inches
each way. Of peeled sticks is fixed to
these supports at about three feet from
the ground. A foot above this comes n
railing round three sides of the plat
form, while u rallied ladder with four
rui,ss reaches from the open side of the
platform to the ground. Fringes of CO.
coanut ornament the railing, and the
! whole construction is bound together
with creepers, rattan, however. being

and the pawang invokes the hantu or
tntelary spirit of the mine to bless it
with good fortune. A bag of tin sand
from the first washing is the fee paid for
this service.
Sometimes cheaper kind of altar is
made by placing in the ground a single
peeled stick with it's upper end split in
four, upon which is placed the little
platform above described The next
process is to hang an ancha, or square
frame, about Is inches each way in the
smelling house just under the caves OF
the roof. This serves as an interior
| altar, upon which the miners place their
Offering to the hantu. The accurate
hanging up of the ancha is matter OF
special care.
These prehminaries accomplished, the

TIE Memphis System.

In quiet but none the less energetic
manner, the Memphis people have for
three years past been pushing the work
Of practically rebuilding their main line
OF road between Kansas Olty and Mem
phis. With the close Of the present
month the work will be practically COM
plsted, and the permanent roadway 10
now, beyond doubt, in condition to COM
pare favorsbly with the older lines In
the east. The ditohing and embsnk-
ments have all been brought to exact
standard, as laid before contractors and
foremen by means OF illustrated plans
and instructions, the ballast is fifteen
inches Of broken stone, bevsled from
the ends Of the ties, and the new steel
rail is ssventy-Ave pounds to the yard.

been fought in days gone by, can be
revived, he has hopes that his ambi-
tion may be gratifed. Both parties
are willing to aid him in its revival,
because it is believed this would re-
lieve them from the peril of meeting
living questions. The trouble with
the Pittsburg manufacturers, how
ever, is not the tariff as the people
well know. These shysters will hear
something drop before the presiden-
tial election of 1896 takes place.
There are congressional and state
elections before that time that, per-
hsps, may give them tip as to what
is really going on in the country.

WE DO NOT WANT IT.

In q late Wall street circular issued
by Henry Olews, it was stated that
millions offoreign capital stood ready
for investment in this country as soon
ss the purchasing clause Of the silver
law of 1890 should be repealed. No
true, well-informed American can
desire suCh investment. There is
entirely too much foreign money nO1O
invested In this country. The inter-
est upon it is drain upon our indus.
tries which can only bring disaster.
The resources Of our country are 30
great that we can endure such a drain
probably longer than any other ma
tion on earth, but the very existence
Of those resources should make us in
dependent of foreign capital, and
would do so under a rational finan-
cial and economic system. We do
not want this foreign money. Every
dollar OF it that comes here is a curse
to us. Let us make our own money,
manage our own affairs, control our
own industries, retain the profits
among our own people, and own our
country ourselves, instead Of selling
it out piecemeal to foreign money
sharks.

Another Witness.

Like Van Allen, William Waldorf Astor
is nothing il not English, you know. He
has changed his residence from New
York to London, to become q British
subject, and has started publication
which he calls the Pail Mall Magazine,
to which nobody with bare hands ia
allowed to contribute, and whose names
must be signed to the articles to insure
their respectRbihty.
In the September number Of his maya
zine is an article signed by Mr.. Astor
himself, on the silver repeal question,
from which We quote the closing para
graph. Please read it:
Il is not likely that in this practical age
the financial OenteEs will suffer q thing 80
delicate and vital as their standard of value
to be trihed with at hRphszard. And 30
long as this remains the case, it may be con-
Adently affirmed that IL will be impossible
TO accomplish any money scheme OF world
wide bearing which encounters the joint
condemnation Of the city of London, Wall
street and New York.
Mr.. Astor is 80 far beyond the vulgar
masses that he has no call to play the
politician and dewagogue, but speaks
out in plain terms his opinion. 1t is the
money people who will not suffer "their
standards Of value to be trihsd with" )"
Governments, congresses, commerce,
trade, industry and enterprise must all
be subordinatsd to what these rent col
lectors and interest collectors are good

subterfuge about it. There is nothing
about parity" or "the worlds" money,
or any of that sort of young robin feed
at all, but the plain announcement that
London and Wall street viii not allow
any interference with their affairs. We
are on the whole rather glad that the
foresight and speculative genius Of old
John JRCob Astor has placed one man in
a position to tell the truth in On import

question upon which congress has
just spent a two months session, and
who have never studied the subject,

There is more Catsrrh in this section

It was supposed to be incursble. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it

with local treatment, pronounced it in

SIGNS OF THE TIMES,

New CASTLE, Pa, November 6.-Dele-
gates from twenty labor organizations in
this CITY met today to discuss some method
by which the workingmen could live
cheaper. The wages of the men have been
out down from 20 TO 40 per cent, and il was
the sense of the meeting chat landlords,
grocerymen, butchers and other merchants
should make some out in prices. A COOP
erative scheme was strongly urged at fret,
but it was decided 90 appoint one member
from each organization represented, the
whole TO constitute a committee whose duty
it will be to visit the merchants and make a
canvass to see which firm will make the
greatest discount to the workmen repre-
sented by the labor organizations. Il was
decided to select one grocer, one butcher,
one clothing man, etc., and throw all the
trade to them, provided, of course, that
they will make a reasonable discount In
case this is not done, then the members will
start their cooperative store.-Press Dis
patch.
This is one of the indications Of re-
turning prosperity that was to follow
the repeal of the Sherman law. Do
not fail to comprehend the full inn
port of it. The reduction of wages
necessitates greater economy in con-
sumption. This affects the business
of the merchant and the producer Of
food products. The diminished de-
msnd for food products necessitates
greater economy by the farmer. He,
as we'll as the day lsOorer, is, there
fore, compelled to diminish his trade
with the merchant. The merchant in
turn must reduce his orders to the
manufacturer. The manufacturer
must reduce expenses and cut down
his output. More men are discharged.
They in turn cease to be consumers,
and the demand for food products
and manufactured goods is still fur
ther diminished. This diminished
demand again reacts upon the pro-
ducer and manufacturer. Their rev.
enues take another tumble. More
economy becomes necessary. Trade
continues to fall off. Manufacturers
still further reduce their output.
More men are discharged or their
wages reduced. Thus the process
goes on, and the downward tendency
of productive industry and Of COM
merce constantly proceeds. Let no
man fatter himself that his business
can possibly be exempt from the uni
versal paralysis that has fallen upon
the people. None but the money
dealer can profit from these condi-
tions. All others must ultimately be-
come slaves. Think Of these things,
ye sons of revolutionary sires, and
ask yourselves the question if it was
for the establishment of such condi-
tions that our fathers fought at Lex
ington, Concord and Bunker Hill.

TRYING TO REVIVE THEOLD FRAUD,

a democratic politician or newspaper
editor so abhors as a real living po-
liticsl issue. The campaign of 1893
is past, and, knowing that the next
campaign is bound to begin where
the former one left of, the next effort
of the old TWINS will be directed to
the task of finding something to kick
up a dust over besides the questions
of money, land and transportation.
