ONE GENT A MILE.

Cheap Railroad Fare Decided Upon by
tho Western Passenger Association.
CHICAGO. Oct. lathe lines in the
Western Passenger association have
finally seen great light. Some of
them saw it long ago, but others did
not, and those who saw reaped no
benefit because of their clearer vision.
The enormous amount of travel
brought on by the one-cent-per-mile
rate (for Chicago day. has been with
out parallel in the history of railroad
ing, and all the lines now see
that low rates bring the people,
bring them in swarms and droves,
bring them SO that it is all the rail
roads can do to handle them. This
state of affairs the roads naturally de-
sire to keep up until the close of the
fair, and at yesterdays meeting of the
Western Passenger association action
was taken which means that the one
cent rate will continue for the remain
der of the exposition.
The lines interested have all given
the required notice that the sale OF
tickets at one cent per mile will be re-
sumed on October Is. The tickets will
be good on all trains, but in coaches
only. The holders will be entitled to
sleeping and dining-car privileges.

Sir Dominic Colnaghi, I. his latest
report on labor in Italy, gives some In
teresting facts concerning tAe condi-
ton of the peasantry of Padua, Venice
and vicenza- He says that after the
union of venetia with the kingdom OF
italy, and down to 1880, the times were
prosperous and the prices and rent OF
land increased. Then came the agri-
cultural crisis. Many among the small
farmers were compelled to sell their
cattle to pay their rent, the rate OF
which was too high to enable them to
realize a profit, and the rents have not
yet fallen to the level of the agricnl-
tura1 products.
The peasantry are fed from the
produce of their farms, bu. all extras
are provided by accessory industries,
such as the raising of stock. which
still forms one of their principal re-
sources. pig and poultry breeding, etc.
These undertakings require a certain
amountof capital The funds are sup
piled by money who some
times belong to the middle classes, but
are often peasants who have made a
little money. The interest on the
money lent amounts frequently to one
hundred per cent and is occasionally
higher, as, for instance, on the adj
vances of Indian corn, of which gen.
orally enough is not grown on the
farms to last throughout the year.
The quantity advanced has to be re-
paid in kind. and has often to be
bought at high rates, so that, at times,
the interest amounts to two hundred
per cent.
Goose-breeding is long blished
industry. The peasant receives from
the money-lender an advance of ten
dollars for the purchase of fifty gos-
1inRs- When, in the course of five or
six months, the geese,are fattened, the
peasant farmer, in addition to the re-
payment of the loan in cash, gives the
money lender one fat goose ont of every
ten. If any geese die during the fat
tening the loss is borne by the peasant.
In the contract of soccida, under which
a third party supplies cattle to the
farmer, receiving half the profits de-
rived from the raising of stock and
some other special dues, the gain to the
lender is reckoned at about forty per
cent. The contract may be fair or not,
according to circumstances. but in
many cases it presses very heavily on
the farmer, who has to bear all the
losses, while dividing the profits

IN A SEA OF FLAME.

Five Hundred Horses Suffocated or Burned
to Death In Mad Hut Futile Efforts to
Escape From the Burning Barns of tho
Chicago Street Railroad Company
Charred Carcssses Lying About on Every
Hand.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Frenzied with
fright and driven into stampede by a
raging fire that broke out early last
evening in the Wallace-street barns of
the Chicago Street Railway Co. 500
horses were suffocated or burned to
death. The barns were totally de-
stroyed. They were located at Wal
lace and Thirty-ninth streets and were
among the most extensive under the
pied the large brick building two
stories in height and extending 400 feet
on Wallace street and ninety on
Thirty-ninth.
The fire broke out about o'clock,
and at once the low building was sur
rounded with flames. They burst
from windows on either side and en-
trance through the doorways was cut
off.
Inside, the horses were helpless.
They were blinded by the glare of the
flames and the smoke that rolled
through the place in great volumes,
and soon a stampede was in progress.
The animals surged back and forth in
ffties and hundreds. led on i n their
mad rush to escape. Their loud
neighing and an occasional cry
of pain told the people on the
street Of the fearful scenes
that were being enacted on the inside.
Yet little or nothing could be done to
save any of the animals. Gradually
the sounds of the stampede grew
fainter and fainter, and when the first
group of firemen had forced their way
into the barn they saw charred car
cases lying about on every hand.
The loss on the building is SOS, 900;
the loss on horses about $50. 900, and
that on cars and feed will bring the
total loss to about $4,000.

A Russian village Fire Department.

In a Russian village there is not even
such an organization as we possess in
this country in the small volunteer
companies. In their stead is log
stable with matched roof, containing
an old-fashioned hand-pump and three
casks mounted on wheels. These are
kept filed with water, and each is
drawn by a single horse. The horses
are the property of the commune, and
they are kept tethered outside the
cabin, ready for duty at moments
notice. A place is also set apart in the
hut for the muzhik, who serves as
Waterman, an Office that is held, turn
by turn, by the Inhabitants of the
township. The location selected for
this cabin is as uear as possible to the
residence of the pristav. or the dis

his telega at the head of the procession
of carts and peasants - Harper's

A TERRIBLE CONDITION.

An Appeal from Clara Barton. President
OF the National Red Cross Associations.
In Behalf OF Thirty-Five Thousand
Homeless and Destitute Sufferers ON tho
Cyclone-Swept Sea Islands ON tho At.
lantic Coast.
New YORK, Oct 12.-Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
communication to the World from
Beaufort, S. c.:
The problem confronting the Amer
lean National Red Cross is, how to feed,
clothe, nurse and shelter upward of
$4,000 people for eight months; how we
can these people, putting their weekly
allowance at peck of grits and q
pound of meat for family of
seven, scarcely food enough to
do. and how we can rebuild
6.o0o houses, completely or partially
destroyed. Based upon thorough in
vestigation of 25 per cent. of our dis
trict we will have to feed an average
OF 81. 900 people daily for eight months
and will have to rebuild 5000 cabins.
Iquote from our agents report of one
of the islands, small one: Nine
families have lost their houses. Not
board can be found. These families
are crowded into other houses. 1
found twenty persons living in one
cabin Survivors are in corn
cribs, under trees and brushwood,
and if shelter is not quickly provided
death from exposure will be inevitable.
Our funds and provisions are not suffi-
cient to last a month, and the problem
that confronts the nation can only be
answered by the generous people of
our country. If the poor and helpless,
suffering people of these islands are
not helped. not for a day. week or a
month. but eight months, the world
will ring with the humiliatipg news
that famine exists in the United States

What the President Wants.

What the President Wants.
In the letter to Gov. Northen Presi-
dert Cleveland expresses his wants as
follows:
Iwant currency that is stable and
safe in the hands of the people.
want our currency to be of such a
character that all kinds of dollars will
be equal purchasing power at home.
want it to be of such character as
will demonstrate abroad our wisdom
and good faith, thus placing on a firm
foundation our credit among the ma
tions of the-earth.
l want our financial system and the
laws relating to our currency SO safe
and reassuring that those who have
money will spend and invest it in BUSH
ness and new enterprises instead of
boarding it
want good, sound and stable money
and condition of confidence that will
keep it in use.-Albany Argus.
Free trade ard good money go
hand in hand. They are one and in
separable. They cannot be divorced.
All that the American farmer has to
cell is priced in free trade market
regulated by the gold standard. All
shat he has to bay is taxed to the moon
by the protective tariff. The advocates
of debased currency would have his
losses, already enormous, increased by
forcing him to take what he has to get
for his products in debased money. Is
there any wisdom or justice in this?
Down with the Mckinley abomination!
Down with the Sherman fraud. Up
with the flag of free trade and dollar
that is worth one hundred cents in
gold all over the wor1d!-Louisviue
