SHOULD SAVE THE WASTE.

The Minneapolis Times laborS hard
| to make out that the American farm
ers lose 800, 10000 annually on bread
and meat, and another like sum on cot
ton, because of the tariff which inter
feres with their selling abroad, and
$500, ZOO, 900 more because of the low
price at home. The Times does not
explain why wheat has continued to
drop in price since Democracy came
into power, until the local price is
only half a dollar bushel. Probably if
it did attempt to explain it would
state 1T was because we are still living
under Republican laws. If, as has
been claimed by some Democratic
papers, this is the reason, why has
there not been some attempt made to
remedy the matter, and so help the
farmer. Here it is nearly four months
since Grover took the oath of office,
yet not move has been made to save
the farmers even portion Of the
half billion dollars which the Times
says they are annually robbed of by
reason of the tariff. And no attempt
is being made to remedy the matter
for them in the immediate future. In
stead of calling congress right togeth-
er and doing something, the President
is rustling around getting offices filled
and matters fixed up so he can go off
to the sea shore and spend the next
two months in the cool breeZeS, or
persuade the trout to bite on cool
morning, while the farmers are work
Ing in the broiling sun securing their
crops on which the Times says they
will lose half billion dollars, and
all because of Growers negligence. A
half billion dollars would come very
handy to the farmers. We know of
DO class of people who would more
greatly appreciate it than they, and If
the Times statement is trueMr. Cleve-
land ought to be willing to forego the
pleasure Of fishing this summer, and
put up with'the inconveniences.of hot
weather in order that this vast sum
might be realized by them.
But our farmers are not losing that
amount because of the tariff. The
Times knows this and so does PreSi-
dent Cleveland. Such talk is mere
bluff. They both know that the
farmers would stand in fair way to
lose far more than this if the free
trade theory of the Chicago platform
was carried out, and it is probably
this fact which causes Mr.. Cleveland
to put off as long as possible the day
when this work of destroying the tar
if must commence.

THE ANARCHIST PARDON.

Gov. Altgeld. of Illinois, has made
a great mistake in granting a pardon
to the three anarchist bomb throwers
who were connected with the Hay
market riot in Chicago in 1886. The
move he has made is one which will
not meet with the approval of the
public in general. Possibly it was all
right to release Neebe, as he seems to
have been somewhat weak and led
into the matter by others, but SchWab
and Fielder are two men who
should never have been given their
liberty But the mere granting of
these pardons was not all. The Gov
ernor went out of his way to severely
and unduly censure the trial Judge,
and the officers who were instrument
tai in bringing them to justice and
declares there was an unseemly haste
in the trial, that the jury was packed,
etc. But this will not go down with
the public. There was no unseemly
haste, the jury was not packed as the
put lie well knows, and full, fair and
free trial was given the accused men.
They had the best of counsel and
were given every opportunity possible
to clear themselves, but failed to es-
tablish their innocence in the face of
the testimony for the prosecution.
The finding of the trial court was
sustained by the supreme court of the
state of Illinois and the United
States. The action of Gov. Altgeld
in this respect is demagogical, and
mountain of censure he has built up
is not large enough to hide the bald
error he has made. -~a
The apologists for the Governors
action state that the, move he has
made will in no way give any encour-
agement to anarchy in this country
and that the men who were given
their freedom were weak and led into
the riot by others. 1t is possible that
SO far as the mere liberating of the
three men is concerned this is true,
but when the Governor took occasion
to overstep the bonds of his position
and censure the trial judge, he gave
anarchy the very encouragement it
has been waiting for all tx csc years.
He has undOne the work that was so
we'll done by the officers of the law
some years ago. He has invited the
bloody monster to again show it's
fangs, and the people of Chicago and
Illinois will know where to place the
esponsibility if it does. The Cover
nor pandered to the worst elements
of society to secure his election, and in
this his latest move only seems to be
following along the Pedagogical path
he started out upon.

IT is remarked of the late Senator
Stanford that he was successful in
various lines because he was a
money maker. He seems to have had
some pretty sensible ideas regarding
the disposal of the wealth which came
to him. 1t is probable this fund of
common sense was the chief instru-
ment of his success.

Horse and Mule S1atiStiCs

The man who collected horse and mule
statistics for the census reports shows that
the average price of mule is s. moro than
the average price 0fa horse. The ordinary
mule in South Carolina, which owns about
55. 900 of the long-eared beasts, is worth
about $50; the average price of horse in
the same State is about 279. Texas probably
has more mules (about 200000) than any
other State The average price is about S41,
or nearly twice the value of Texas horse.
In Missouri mules are worth about - more
and in Kentucky about p more than horses.
Only Il few States have no mules, or SO few
that the statistician Didn't make a note OF
them.
Oregon is the only State where horses
bring higher prices than mules. The Ordin-
ary mule out there is worth $40 and tho
horse S51. The figures for California are .
Mules, S67; horses. $40. Ir Pennsylvania,
where mules, famous for longevity, are
much used in the mines. they bring about
$50 horses, 967. In New York State there
arc seventy times many horses as there
are mules, which number about II 900. \
New York mule is worth S9I and horse
SO. Mules are prized more in New Jersey
than in any other State. the average price
being about S1O6 or 80 more than horses.
Illinois has about 140, 600 mules, or more
than any other Western State.

WRECK ON THE LEHIGH.
The Burning Cars Set Fire to White
Haven. Penn.

Poor train running caused disastrous
wreck on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at
White Haven. Penn. The strikers put tho
blame on the non-union men who were in
charge of the colliding trains
The first train passed White Haven all
right. NOn-uniOn men were in charge of
the second. piloted by n telegraph operator
After the train had passed over the noun
tain and was approaching White Haven the
engineer gave the signal "Of brakes" Then
he put on a full head of steam and pulled
out"
The brakemen. who were also non-uniOn
men. did not respond quickly enough. and
the train parted in two places. Tho
engineer did not notice the mishap and
went on. The first broken section came
to stop about fifty yards on the south
side of White Haven station. but the
second section, or rear end. Of the train
was under more momentum. and had
not stopped when il was approached from be-
hind by the third freight train. drawn by
gine No. III, with nine cars of mixol
freight mostly -four, feed. mOlasses and hay.
This tran was also in charge of q non
union engineer with pilot. The train was
going at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
The crash occurred along the main street
and was heard all over town AS soon as en-
gine No. III struck the cabOose ahead. the
Goals in the caboOse stove were scattered in
every direction and the whole wreck was
soon on fire. The caboose was cut in two
and one-half of it was thrown against the
second story of Ruhnk's Hotel.
In ten minutes after the accident the hotel
was in flames. and in less than an hour it
was in ruins. The flames communicated to
Thomas w. Ricker's grocery store. This
also was destroyed, as was Cramer's livery
stable.
After working hard for three hours more
the tiremen finally subducd the flames. The
second fire increased the losses by Smiths
Hotel, briggs drug store, J, W. CoOn's gen
eral store, Fishers jewelry store and Forsch-
ner's jewelry store.
The property lost to the Lehigh is 100000,
and if it is compelled to pay for the property
destroyed by fire in the town, caused by the
wreck, the loss will foot up fully $40 900.
