sMALL-CHANGE POCKET.
II Breeds Profigacy and There should
Re Crusade Against IL.

"A congress to abolish the small-change
pocket would be appropriate way in
which to wind UP the series OF meetings
under President Bonney." remarked a sad
eyed man yesterday TO reporter for the
Chicago Tribune. There is nothing in TIE
world that tends more in the direction Of
profiigate expenditures.
The Sherman law has had the major part
of the burden OF hard times laid upon It's
shoulders. but no greater evil to the pros
perity and financial well-doing Of humanity
exists today than the little receptacle on
the right-hand side OF a mans coat where
the stray nickels. dimes, quarters and halves
find their way when a large bill is changed.
From the moment the coins drop into the
pocket they might as well be charged Up to
dead loss for the owner loses their Identity
right then and there so far as value IS con-
cerned.
1t is so easy, when passing along through
the streets. in the shops, or the many places
where there are opportunities TO spend
money in little drfblets, TO dip into this
pocket and it is cleaned out before one has
any notion of IL. To the change pocket.

morning,

THE NAvY.-Secretary of the Navy
Herbert in his annual report makes 9
strong argument in support of the con
tention that the navy has now suffici'
ent number of cruisers and should be
further strengthened by battle-ships.
He contends that the military value
of a commerce-destroying fleet is easily
overrated.
In proof of this assertion, he cites
the cruises of the Alabama and her sis
ter ships, saying that the exploits OF
Semmes rivalled those of Jean Bart and
Duguay -Trouin, and that history will
rank him as one Of the most famous
rovers of the sea.
His success delighted the Confeder-
ates, but it did not benefit their cause.
Many, indeed, were the complaints
made against President Lincoln be-
cause he sent so few ships to search
for the Confederate cruisers, but he
was too wise to listen to the clamor.
The fleets of the United States were
not to be thus diverted from their pur-
pose. They blockaded the ports of the
COntederacy they penetrated It's rivers
and cut off its interior communications,
and thus it was that the navy rendered
service to the cause of the Union which
the public has not yet fully appreciat-
ed. In the meantime, in spite of dep
relations, American commerce flourish
ed. Merchants insured against war
risks, and individual losses were borne
by communities. Commerce-destroy-
ing was irritating, but it decided moth
ing. 1t could have been Intellectual
even if the Contederates had possessed
ten times as many cruisers, unsupport-
ed, as they were, by line-of-battle-ships.
If our government, in the future, is to
have naval strength enough to COM
mand the peace and be in condition to
enforce the terms dictated by its sense
of right and justice, it must have more
battle ships, and must build reasons
bic number of torpedo boats.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC 2, 1898.

AMONG the many other important
subjects that will be brought to the at
tention of the legislature, that will
meet next week, will be the improve
ment of the roads in the State, and 1t
will demand the earnest consideration
of the wisest men in that body, for OF
all the measures looking to the prosper
ity of Virginia that may be introduced,
the adoption of none would be more
conducive to that object than one for an
efficient system of road work. The State
is too poor at present to make large
appropriations for the needed improve
ment of her public roads, but she GER
tainly can provide that the money now
thrown away on such work shall be ex-
pended under skillful supervision, so
that the little that may be done,
will be permanent, and not have to be
done over again the next year, as is
now the case.

Disastrous Railroad Wreck and Fire.
WHITEHAvEN, Pa, Dec. about
4 o'clock this morning two freight
trains collided on the Lehigh Valley
road in the heart of the town. The
cars caught fire and, it is thought, at
least three men are burned to death.
A heavy train, manned by non-union
men, came down the mountain at a
good speed. When the level was reach
ed the engineer put on full head OF
steam and the green trainmen failed to
release the brakes, with the result that
the train parted in three places. In
stead of repairing the break the engi-
neer with portion of his train sped
away leaving the cars behind on the
main line, when train of freight cars
dashed around the curve at a tremen-
dous speed and in another moment
struck the stationary train with fearful
force. As soon as the collision occur
red flames burst from the wreck. Tho
fire communicated to the Ruhnke Ho-
tel and spread to other build
ings and for time it look
ed as if the town was doomed,
but after hard work the flames were
gotten under control. The engineer
had stuck to his post, but he escaped
injury. He had three men in the ca
boose behind and as they are no.
where to be found, it is feared they
have been burned in the wreck. The
total loss by fire will reach 100000.
The fire which was subdued and sup
posed to be under control, broke out
again at 1880 and has extended, result
ing in the burning of the buildings
which comprised the entire block.

From Brazil.

A dispatch from Rio Janeiro states
that the insurgent Admiral has finally
succeeded in forcing a passage past the
forts guarding the entrance of the bay
of Rio Janeiro, and that his flagship, the
Aquidaban, is now on the high seas.
The passage was not effected until some
desperate fighting had been done. The
entrance is guarded by Fort Sac Joao
and a water battery on the strip of land
extending northeast from the sugar loaf.
Fort Lage, Fort San Cruz and Fort
Pico. Advices from another source
state that when the Aquidaban was
seen approaching the forts heavy fire
was directed against her. She replied
briskly, and the fight was kept up until
she ran past the forts and was out of
range. 1t was seen that some of the
shots from the forts took effect, and it
is believed that the Aquidaban sustain
ed considerable damage.
The government forces, particularly
the troops manning the water battery,
suffered severely from the effects of the
rapid-fre guns on board the warship.
Considerable damage is said to have
been done to the forts by the big guns
of the Aquidaban, which appear to have
been we'll served. The government
forces generally suffered severely.
After the Aquidaban was out of range
she stood away for the south. 1t is con-
iectured at Rio Janeiro that she will eff

EXPLOSION OF A BoILER.-On Fri

on the farm of Mr.. r. G. Tulloss, in

terrible accident by the explosion of

crown sheet and hurled instantly aloft
with terrific power the twenty-five
horsepower boiler with its three tons
of iron. 1t came to the ground at a
distance of nearly two hundred feet,
but turning over in such manner as
to close the opening, thereby combining
the steam yet remaining, which again
burst forth with a power equal the first.
The fated boiler again shot upward,
passing over a distance rather more
than at first and coming to halt on
the side of hill nearly fifteen feet
above its former descent. Meanwhile
mt the mill fearful scene presented
itself as the result of this awful force.

as it may, the vast majority of the peo-
ple Of this country are poor, and as
without such tax the poor man has to
pay as much toward the support of the

the possession of common sense to sup
pose that they are not opposed to the
imposition of a tax to which they will
not be subject, and which will be paid
only by those who can well afford to do
so, and for the security of whose prop
erty it is laid.
