DIR. DEPEW's UEsTBRS TRIP.
The Big Four and the Chesapeake and Ohio
Roads in Excellent shane.

Chauncey NJ. Depew reached home yes
terday morning from Albany. says the
New York Times of yesterday, having
been absent from this city about eight
days. During that time he has Travelled
with Cornelius Vanderbilt over nearlX
800 miles OF railroad, those two gentle
men having inspected the Chesapeake
and Ohio. the Big Four system. part OF
the Nickel Plate the Lake Shore. and
the New York Contra roads. Mr.. Depew
spoke OF his trip as follows:
I'VE found the railroads over which
we passed in excellent condition. The
Big Four system especially is worthy
OF commentator. Not much more than
year ago II was combination or un-
related lines. now II is a connected and
efficient system. Under President In
gals IL has been put IN first-class work.
ing order, with ample terminal facilities
at junction points. It's roadbed is IN
good condition. and its equipment has
been brought up 10 all modern require
ments The Chesapeake and Ohio lines
are also in, excellent shape. and both
roads are ready to handle any business
that may come along.
We Travelled through a good part Of
Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois, and we found
the universal impression to be that, IN
business sense. things had reached hard
pan. Industries are building up but
they are building up slowly. Two condi-
tons hamper the growth of business.
The first is uncertainty about the tariff,
which prevents old plants from expand
ing and new plants from starting up.
The second is the curious suspension
Of the purchasing power OF the people.
The most exacting domestic economies
still prevail. and. as you can imagine,
when G5.000,OO0 OF people begin to patch
their old shoes, the effect upon the Shoe
trade is immense. The same degree OF
economy is practiced in the matter of
clothing and food. A cheaper grade of
food is being consumed. and there is a
falling off in the consumption OF beef
and wheat products. One Of the iron
mining regions, which covers the Michi-
gan Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin.
mad been consuming prior to four months
ago, three twelve-car tratnloads OF beef
each week. For the last four months
the consumption in the same region has
not exceeded one trainload per week.

Is SOUTH CAROLINh's TROUBLE
ENDED?

II is by no means certain that the trou-
bles in South Carolina over the dispen-
sary law are ended by the decision of
the highest court of that State holding
the act unconstitutional. The contest may
possibly be kept open yet through the
action of the court itself. The decision
was by two judges in a court OF three,
against one who upheld the validity OF
the law. one of the two, Judge Nc
Gowan, goes out of office in July. and
he will be succeeded by a Tillmanite,
which would give Tillman majority
of the court. We do not know what
the fact is but we suppose the present
term of the court will end before Judge
MCGOWAN leaves the bench. If IL does
motion for a rehearing, not passed on
at the present term, but held under
advisement until the next term, would
keep the matter open until the new
Tillman Judge comes on the bench, when
the two Tllmanites could reverse the
present decision and uphold the con
stitutionality of the law. But If the
term ends before Judge MCGOWAN leaves
the bench, 1t is hardly pgobable that he
and his associate would allow the mo-
ton for a rehearing to stand without
action. They will probably act on il and
overrule II, whereupon. so far as the
judiciary is concerned. the question
should be considered finally disposed Of
however the politicians may elect to
treat 1t.
So far as the decision itself is concern
ed. it is right and should be accepted
as fundamental law everywhere. 1t was
never contemplated that our States were
to go into ordinary business in compe-
tition with their citizens. This is So
cialism. pure and simple and our theory
Of government IS utterly opposed to
that In whatever form 1t may appear.

We are being deluged with capes Of
every description. No womans wardrobe
is complete without at least one of them,
and some one has said that three would
be more than enough. There must be
cape for service, made OF cloth with
plaid lining, or Of double-faced tweed
without lining; another made Of dark
silk trimmed with lace or jet Is the
dressy cape for day wear; the third is a
light, fancy affair for evening.
All" signs the woman who can barely
afford one such garment: none but the
rich can be well dressed"
But that is a mistake, for although only
the rich can be luxuriously dressed. they
have not a monopoly OF that intangible,
mysterious. but unmistakabe attribute
of the real lady.
one meets a few such on the boats and
cars going to business in the morning.
And yet the entire outfit of hat, dress,
wrap, gloves and shoes may have cost
less than thirty dollars. But one is more
likely TO meet gay, Haunting costumes
which are only allowable when made Of
the richest materials. IL is n pity that
young women of small incomes cannot
learn the lesson that quiet, unassumnS
cOlors and material always give tho inn
preston Of elegance. while the brilliant
costume IS sure to call attention TO It's
cheapness.
But that is preaching, and fashion
writers shouldn't preach liz does not
beht them. Hence. 10 return TO my
sphere | will resume the thread Of
capes. II is such a long thread that J
fear that it will get tangled. so l will
break II off and describe for you, and
then have done.

VIII a Convention be Held?

Tho local council OF the Brotherhood
~ 81 Andrew has under consideration
the advIsability OF holding another con-
ventIon in this city. The executive com
mittee has been requested to look into
the matter and submit report as soon
as possible
1t is thought that II would be ad-
visable TO hold the convention in Octo-
Der next during the agricultural ana
mechanical exposition. when railroad
fares are expected to be reduced in order
10 visit this city.
The council also deems it advisable TO
invite members of the brotherhood not
only in the two dioceses OF Virginia, but
also in West Virginia and North Caro-
lima.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Se ction II of the
tariff law repeats section of the Mckin-
ley act under which the reciprocity treat
les were drawn with proviso that moth
ing herein contained shall be held to
abrogate or in any way affect such reci-
procal commercial arrangements as have
been heretofore made. and now exist
between the United States and foreign
countries, except where such arrange
ments are inconsistent with the provisions
of this act.
II is apprehended that the exception
above noted will be much more general
than the rule, for it is expected, notwith-
standing the declaration of the proviso,
that the effect of the new tariff law will be
10 tumble to the ground the whole fabric
of reciprocity treaties reared by Mr..
Blaine
The new act affects the rates of duty in
more than one reciprocity treaty, and un-
favorably, as the foreign nations are a
party to them, and already suggestions
have reached the state department from
the foreign governments interested. to the
effect that the new act will anuul the
treaties, for it can not be presumed they
will permit the United States to continue
the enjoyment of the excellent privileges
in the matter of free imports and low du-
ties, after the concessions made by the
United States to secure those privileges
have been Withdrawn as they are in a
large measure By ths new act.
The subject is one which will call for a
construction by the treasury department,
but the opinion among diplomatists is that
the treaties are practically repealed by the
provisions of the new tariff law.

Special Dispatch 20 the Daily Eagle.
POND CREEK. o. T, Aug. 21.-Much sur
prise was felt here today when the Rock
Island trains shot through the town at the
same old gait. Il was reported and gen
orally believed here that the Rock Island
trains would stop here aud at Euid, today.
II was reported IN Guthrie yesterday that
the company had issued an order TO the eff
feet that hereafter all passenger trains
should stop at Pond Creek aud South
Enid. It WAS also reported that the rail-
road had accepted the offer of Captain
Mackey of Pond Creek. Captain Mackey 5
offer was made two months ago, aud gives
81 coo and 100 lots to the company, provid-
ing it builds depot, puts in side tracks
and stops trains at Pond Greek.
The report was given out with some
show Of authority and many believed II.
The railroad men, however. received no
such instructions apparently, Us the trains
did not stop.
with the conditions set out by the congress
of the United States is much commented
upon here. However. most of the people
feel confident that before the time limit
for building depots, three months, shall
have expired the depots will have been
built. The story that the Rock Island
will not build iepots on the grou0d that
their right-oi-way through the territory
was purchased. and not granted, Is not
given much credence.

Chenery stree: grade of the San Francisco

car returning from the cemetery became
unmanageable, and dashed down the grade
at Il terrific speed. Nearly all o. the pass
engers were women who became panic
stricken and rushed to the rear platform
Several of them jumped and were thrown
violently to the ground. Mrs. Henry
Horisman, Mrs. La Porte and Mrs. Welch
were so seriously injured that they were
removed to St. Luke's hospital. Mrs.
HOrlsman is still unconscious and will
probably die. The car ran on and crashed
into another coach, but no serious damage

Supreme Chancellor W. W. Blackwell,
who was to have responded, refrained
