 ALTOONA, Pa., April 19.-The Pennsyl- vania company's greatest show on earth, consisting of the ancient locomotive and the three stage-coach cars, Is still continu- ing it's triumphal trip Jo Chicago, and the game little Johnny Bull, :" having found camel coal to be best suited to his taste as steam producer, laughs at up grades and gets over the rails exactly according to the task laid down for it by the railroad of Acials.
 She departed from Altoona at 6 p. m., and during the night climbed over the AL leghenies, a feat never dreamed of on his arrival in America 60 years ago.
 The run of the day was over the Middle division of the Pennsylvania road.
 The entire run of 132 miles to this city was made in four hours and half. At Duncannon, Mifflin, Tyrone and other towns along the route the factories, schools and places of business generally were closed, and the inhabitants turned out, and the greeting was such as to put the perennial circus to shame.
 The town of Huntington especially dis tinguished itself by a procession. with a great display of bunting, booming of can lEon and screeching of steam whistles

In the bank he sometimes felt important and was up borne by the dignity of his position, but out of Tank hours he was simply clumsy, country fellow unused to town life. He often looked out of the bank window to sec that old horse from Oak Hill, but he was never so fortunate, though the two bright eyes that looked from under the chaisc top still shone like stars in his thoughts.

 Presently Love disappeared and took off her best woolen dress and came back in n comfortable old one, but she had fingered to tic in a piece of red ribbon for cravat and she had looked out of the bedroom window toward town to see if she could discover the reflection of the new electric lights. The sky was very cloudy and dark, but she was pretty sure that dim glow lighted the heavens in that direction. When she came down into the kitchen, her father and mother and Jacob Bean, the hired man, were already at supper. Love looked uncommonly pretty and they all noticed her; the father and mother stole pleased glance at one another.
 "Seems to me you've taken good while to change your dress" said Mrs. Hayland, gently reproachful.

CHAPTER III.


 Jonas and Mir. Pendell were alone together in the bank one February morning. One of the other young men was away at his brother-in-law's funer- al and Hathaway had been sent to Boston on a financial errand. Jonas wished that he could have had the variety of a journey to Boston. Some times he felt as if the irksome confne- ment of his business were telling upon his health and spirits, but he looked perfectly well, and unsympathetic friends still congratulated him on his excellent opportunity. The odor of bank bills became more and more un- pleasant to him, and once or twice good MT. Pendell had felt obliged to urge him to greater quickncss-not accuracy, for our hero was much to be trusted in his figures. His patron, the rich uncle, looked at him approvingly from under his shaggy suspicious eye brows, as he went and came about his business or the bank meetings. Jonas lived with this uncle, who was bach elor. and there was always plenty to do night and morning in the matter of household work, the housekeeper being amia ble but decrcpit and the uncle held the opinion that a lad should be made to work as he had worked in his

OUR FRIEND FROM DENVER.

The gentleman from Denver who draws
a contrast between the energies Of Eastern
eities-the one he halls from in particular
and the easy-gOing people Of San Francisco
does not quite grasp the situation. San
Francisco is seaport and Denver an in
land city. San Francisco can get goods by
water at less cost than by land, while Den
yer is confined to land ansportatiou.
Being an inland city Denver naturally
wanted competition among railroads. But
railroads are comparatively Of little i'm
portance to San Francisco. though railroads
run in the interest of the people would be
great benefit. Oar merchants have. per-
haps, been little slow about working up
competing railroad schemes for the simple
reason that we have other routes open to
us. Temporarily the Southern Pacific sue
eeeded in closing up these water routes,
but as soon as our merchants fully compre-
heHded the purpose oi the Southern Pacific
Company and its effect upon our trade they
combined against it.
1t is well understood that in a cold. barren
country man, as a rule, displays more en-
erGy than in rich, warm country. If he
does not he dies Man a best only supple
ments nature, and where nature does much
man is easily reconcled to take the world
easy. There is no doubt whatever of the
energy of Denver. 1t is a case of absolute
necessity. Nature passed over the Denver
site without the slightest idea that it had
created site for city. Consequently the
people who did pitch upon it as a site had a
rather lard task on their hands. The ad-
mission is freely made that they tackled
their job manfully and did the work well.

A FADING HOPE.

When Judge Gresham was called to the
Cleveland Cabinet the general opinion was
that there were troublous times ahead for
the trusts. When Mr.. Cleveland Informed
Senator Stanford that he should have
voice in the distribution OF patronage among
Democratic office-seekers, the hope that the
appointment of Gresham as Secretary of
State had inspired died out. The selection
of Gresham became in appearance a mere
political trick to catch the Populists.
Colonel Croeker Of the Southern Pacific
Company has now intimated that John P.
Irish would make a good land commissioner.
Doubtless he would for the Southern Pacific
Company. Colonel CrOcker possibly knows
more about Colonel Irish than the public
know. To the latter the fame of Colonel
Irish is somewhat closely connected with
the selection Of the Mission-street site for
postoffice at about twice its market value.

TIE HAWAIIAN PROBLEM.

An Eastern contemporary well says:
The Hawaiian problem is one that viii be
solved easily if it is solved quickly. Every
delay in annexation makes annexation more
difficult though perhaps EOt less certain"
The sO-caIled annexation problem is hardly
3 problem at all. There is but one situation
which holds ont a promise of peace and
safety to the islands and removes a danger
10 the peace Of the United States. A native
Government is not considered a possibility
a European pTotectoTaIe is not TO be thought
Of. What remains but annexation 10 the
United States. Nj. Cleveland Is said to be
worried lest American sugar-planters at
the Islands may profit in some way by an
nexaton. Ii is quite likely they will. 1t is
expected that all kinds Of business at the
Islands VIII be benefited by annexation.
Even if an American proteetorate should
be established over The islands no security
could be given against change in our tariff
laws that would greatly injure general
business. A single year Of free compet-
tion with other reproducing countries
has greatly impaired the value OF sugar
plantations in Hawaii,
Il is possible and even probable that when
Cleveland has thought the thing over few
months be viii arrive where Harrison ar

pear where the names OF Benjamin HarTi-
son and John ". Foster appeared in the

main under the impression that the few
verbal amendments saved the country.

MUCH THE SAME FIGHT.

The State Of Minnesota has had on its
hands a railroad fight of great consequence
bearing a strong resemblance to the one in
which the Legislature Of California has
been engaged. 1t was a question OF taxes
on two million acres Of land. The railways
declined to pay and the Legislature under
TOOK to apply the persuasion of compulsion.
At St. Paul. as at SACRAMENTO, the rail-
road interest allowed the Assembly to draft
as 1t pleased righteous demand for pay
ment. The Assembly was neither hypnotfzed
nor magnetiZed on the subject and it passed
the measure by decisive vote. But the
tug of war began when the Senate took the
measure in hand. Then the lobby appeared
in strength and made use of every strata
gem known TO legislative railroading. The
Senators were watched in their every move
ment. Delays we're interposed when moth
ing else would serve, and the bill was kept
dangling in suspense from the commence
ment 10 the end Of the session. At last the
companies completed their arrangements
to administer the coup de grace in the
Senate. Wednesday was fixed for final
action, and then by vote Of 80 against 20
the bin was Indefinitely postponed. The
