The RECORD UNIONS expose of the

has given that ilegitimate business
death-blow in California. The agencies

the newspaper Offices in this State with
offers to furnish pictorial portfolios, cheap

pie in public life, ETC.. TO be peddled out

The multiplicity Of these offers and the
persistency with which they are urged
by Eastern publishers OF these goods in
dicate how largely profitable the business
is and also how illegitimate it is when re-
lated to journalism. The RECORD
UNIONS plan of exposing the business
is to give pictorial work of high art
merit and fine literary character to all
our patrons at the actual cost to US and
without coupon-eutting, mailing, corre-
spondence or any other consideration
than the payment of the few cents the
work costs. There is a degree of salts

HENRY CLEws' weekly business re-
view claims, under date of May 26th, that
one of the great uncertainties of the situ-
alton may be considered as having been
settled. SIT is now as sure as anything
in the future can be that we are to have a
new tariff. That clears the way to some
further immediate resumption of busi-
ness; for. in respect to wide range of
articles. it is already approximately
known what the changes in duties will
be; and manufacturers and importers
can incur little risk from uncertainties in
such cases, but may proceed forthwith to
such operations as the state of the mar
kets may seem to justify, in anticipation
OF the final enactment of the bill. This
means quite an important extent of relief
from the prevailing suspense" The en-
tire country will very gladly entertain
Mr.. Clews' opinion, but it will. neverthe-
less, be shadowed by the fear that he is
too sanguine about the uncertainty being
removed IN the month OF June. Just as
soon as the people are satisfied that the
tariff muddle is ended, one way or an
other, there will be sharp rebound in
the direction of resumption of industry.
Mr.. Clews, however, suggests that there
may appear a new lion in the path,
namely. the demand for higher wages by
labor. while benefting by lower prices to
be assured by diminished duties. If that
happens the new situation will be as bad
if not worse, he thinks, than the present.
However, he entertains the hope that
trade unions will recognize the sacrifices
that must fall upon them, in common
with employers under new adjustment
of tariff duties until there is permanent
settlement of conditions.

1t is rather humiliating to American
pride that France should send the medal
of the Legion of Honor to little Ameri-
can girl in recognition of her bravery and
thoughtfulness in saving life, while from
her own Government she has had no re-
cognition.
The girl saved passenger train in In
diana from being wrecked. On the train
were a number of Frenehmen. They re-
ported the facts to President Carnot. and
the acknowledgment followed.
Our Government strikes medals for
members of the Coast Life-Saving Corps,
and for sailors who manifest heroism at
sea, but there appears to be no recogni-
ton of heroism in lffe-saving inland.
Here was the case OF the little girl over in
Marin County, in this State, who last
winter saved train load of passengers
from rushing to destruction; though her
conduct was essentially heroic and ex-
cited throughout the State the admiration
of the people, no public recognition of
her act was made. The local railroad
company made the child money pres
snt and that was the end of it.
A lad a few weeks ago in this State
saved several persons from drowning; a
sailor in San Francisco harbor less than
ten days ago at the imminent risk of his
own life plunged into the bay and res
cued drowning man.
But in none of these cases is there made
any official recognition of such heroism.
England, France and Germany, however,
have long made it point TO
award to such heroes medals, that all
their lives they prize and pass on down
to their children and families as cher
ished treasures. Such distribution of
and to encourage men and women to de-
serve these honors.
Our own Government might we'll set
up system for issuance of medals and
badges of honor to those who save life by
heroic conduct. The cost would be
trifing, the result would be gratifying to
all the people who admire gallantry,
courage and love of humanity, and like
wise it would be but just recognition of
meritorious conduct. If Congress will
not establish such a system, the States
might do it. They might prepare badges
of distinction to be awarded by the State
Executive in cases in which he is con-
vinced of the propriety and justice of do
ing so. Something of this kind is done,
we believe. through private effort, in
New York.

ACCORDING TO the Populists' plan the
nation should buy all railroads, tele-
graph and telephone lines and operate
them. But as bond is poison to Pop
ulist. it is proposed to make paper money
to buy with, some billions of dollars OF
it. This is to be redeemed by means OF
profits in operating the roads and lines,
which profits would go into a sinking
fund for the purpose. All which is very
fine on paper. But to put ont some
5000. 900, 900 of paper money. redeemable
at 100 cents on the dollar. would play
havoc with the purchasing power of such
notes. They would rattle down grade
until they would be worth but few
cents, and coin for their redemption
would go up like a rocket. while railroads
and telegraph lines would have values
that would be quite beyond the power Of
The record-union., 1894-06-04

computation. The whole scheme is
chimerical. To buy for cash Is all well
enough, but this no nation does on large
scale. Credit, with low interest rate, is
and must be the basis of all large ma
tional transactions of that character. But
then the idea of the Republic buying and
operating railroads is vain one. Under
our political system it would be source
of danger. AS to telegraph lines, the
REcoRD-UNIoN pointed out some months
ago that Congressman Maguire's bill
struck the keynote. That is to say, the
Government shall build, not buy, lines.
To buy means to buy at a capitalization
far in excess of actual investment and
value. To build means only actual cost
and extension of the lines gradually, pre-
cisely as we expand the postal system, of
which the Government lines should be q

HARPER'S
History
.-OF THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford sIo and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into. 26 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies of
many official documents and state
papers Of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1894-11-16

The Davenport Democrat has made
frank admission of the fact that the
system Of electric cars on the bridge
is good thing. The Democrat has
not done so without giving the sys-
tenn ample time to test its worth, and
hence the acknowledgment is all the
more gratifying to those who saw
the wisdom of the improvement from
the first. The Democrat says:
Davenport's street car system is
not one of the things she feels called
upon to apologize for, but the
Bridge line, connecting this city and
Rock Island. is, without question,
the finest line in the west. Its
smoothness of operation, freedom
from noise, neatness of appearance.
and all-round perfection. make it a
model. And it is only fair to men
ton here that the apprehensions that
were entertained by many people on
both sides of the river, the Democrat
included, have not been justified by
the operation of the line. Accidents
have not occurred as feared. The
men in charge of these cars are the
most faithful and careful employees
of the company, as well as the most
competent. They are giving a SER
vice that deserves the patronage it
gets.
