sneedy Locomotives.

Much has been said Of tho new Big
Four and other locomotives, but here is
one that seems to eclipse everything on
this side of the water when everything
is considered.
One of the London and Northwestern
engines during a race to Scotland in 1888
covered the distance from Preston to
Carlisle, 80 miles, in exactly 80 minutes,
having a gradient Of no less than one in
seventy-ive to climb between Tebay and
Shah Summit. One of the most famous
engines of this company is known as the
Charles Dickens and runs daily from
Manchester to London and back, a dis
lance of 1864 miles. Except when
stopped for repairs the Charles Dickens
has, since February, 1882, made this
journey every day, working up the $50
a. m. from Manchester and returning
with the 4 p. m. from Euston. On Sept.
-, 1891, it completed the two thousand
six hundred and ffty-frst trip, having
accomplished the extraordinary feat of
running Loco, 600 miles in 0 years and 2l9
days. No other engine in the world has
run 50 many miles in q like period Of
time.-Dal.as News.

$3.50 a Year from Every Family.

The per capita consumption OF
sugar in the United States is sixty
five pounds for every man, woman
and child in the country. If we apply
this to u population of 81, 900, 600
persons we have a total annual con
sumption of sugaraggregating Ass
900, 600 pounds, the average price OF
which to the may be placed
at five cents per pound, or a total OF
S2I7,75o,ooo
Tie consumption of wheat for food
this year will be about 3o5. 900, 600
bushels. Estimating the average
price at seventy cents per bushel,
which, in very many instances, is
more than double the sum the farmer
received for his wheat this year, we
find that the total cost of the wheat
consumed by the American people is
S2I3, 500, 900, as compared with $2T7,-
$50, 900 which they pay for their sugar.
Sugar is as much a necessity as bread,
which is called the staff Of life. But
in the interest of the Sugar Trust
the Democratic party proposes to in
crease the cost of sugar to the people
by 40 per cent, and every farmer will
have to pay this increased cost, while
it is proposed that the wheat which is
grown by American farmers shall
have no protection, but must be sold
in competition with wheat grown by
the cheap coolie labor OF India.
Just what this sugar tax amounts to
for each individual it is easy to see.
Our average per capita consumption
of sugar is sixty-fve pounds costing
five cents per pound, or a total Of
IS3.25a year for every person in the
country. The 4o-per-cent tax will in
crease the individual cost Of sugar by
$3.50, that is, to s4.55. Every family
of five persons in the United States
will pay, therefore, a clear tribute Of
$3.50 annually to the Sugar Trust in
addition to the present cost OF its
sugar. The government will derive
no benefit for more than a year to
come; the tax of So. so levied upon
every family will go directly to the
Trust under the tariff schedule writ
ten by Secretary Carlisle and accepted
by the Democrat Senate.-New York

When there is an issue Of yeracity
between a reputable newspaper and o
Cabinet officer it is generally safer to
believe the newspaper than the official
The paper is sometimes misled into an
error, and the official sometimes finds
it convenient to state the facts, but ii
is the business of the newspaper to
tell the truth, and that. to put it po-
litely, is not the business Of the Office
holder. 1t is a tradition in the de-
%partments at Washington to deny
every story not published by authori-
ty. That the facts may have to be Of
icially confirmed a week later causes
no embarrassment. Statesmen do not
regard these little fbs as lies. They
give them out with no more compunc-
ton than they feel in sending word
that they are not in to visitors whom
they do not care to see. But to a
newspaper accuracy Of statement is a
different matter. Its reputation de
ponds upon it.

vigilance Of the eaptors was naturally
relaxed. The wall which inclosed the
field on the right Suddenly ended, and
then came a field which was open be-
cause the fencing had been used by SOL
diers from one side On the other for their
campfres. 1t was a distance of about
SO rods to the edge of the woods, and
it was likely they would not only be
fired on. but pursued by some of the
troopers. Brayton stepped into the road
ahead of Kenion, increased his pace to
reach the center of a gap between two
horsemen and suddenly threw up his
hand as a signal.
Both men were well into the field and
running at the top of their speed before
an alarm was raised. Three or four of
the troopers on that side opened fire
with their carbines, but pursuit was
prevented by a dozen other prisoners
evincing a disposition to also make a
bolt. Some of the half dozen bullets
came unpleasantly near. but not n
struck the fugitives, and in two or three
minutes they were safe in the woods.
With darkness already at hand, there
was no fear OF pursuit.
"Yank, we uns did that as neat as a
bar backin down a bee tree,, said
Steve as they stopped to recover their
breath and shake hands.

Stopping to rest for a few minutes
every hoUr or SO, the pair held their
course for the Alleghanies and about 8
O'Clock in the morning turned into a
thicket among the foothills to rest and
sleep. 1t was still raining, and the
night was raw and cold, but they crept
into the thick bushes and were soon fast
asleep. 1t was 8 O'Clock before they
opened their eyes and then only because
disturbed by a great CHATTER on the high
way only a few yards distant. Brayton
was the first TO move forward and make
an investigation. He returned iii four

There the daughters were born, and there

Kenton made no reply to Steve Bray
toms inquiry, but the latter noticed &
look on the young mans face he had
never seen thele before. The Virginiap
by adoption had pursued the course he
thought was right. He had done his
duty under all circumstances and had
been thoroughly loyal to the cause
which he espoused. Those beside whom
he fought had made every attempt to
degrade and disgrace HIM and drive
him out of the service. If he had not
enlisted, he would have been called a
traitor and driven away from his home
with bodily injury. He had joined the
ranks to be suspected and denounced.
AS the case now stood he could not leave

changed, he would be put on trial, and
he realized that enough influence could
be brought to bear to further disgrace
him.

4 True Story OF the Doings OF Sena

Were We to write and publish the
following editorial as our own Demo.

but coming from so staunch a Demo-
cratic paper as the Charles Town Ad-

PANY."
"The Senate investigating commit
tee in its Investigations of the me-
thods of the Sugar Trust has devel-
oped the fact that United States Sen
ators ~speculated in sugar stocks and
made money-possibly cords of
money out of their inside knowledge.
Mr. Terrell who was not only the re-
preventative of the Trust, but the close
and confidential friend of its chiefs,
testifies under oath that Messrs.H o.
Havemeyer and Henry D. Reed, of the
Sugar Trust; Senator Calvin S. Brice,
OF Ohio; Senator James Smith, jr., of
New Jersey, and himself were present
IN the 0 at the Arlington where
the midnight conference, overheard BY
the wire manufacturer, CASTOR, took
place, and Mr.. Terrell further testihes
that he attended a similar conference
at the room of Senator Camden, OF
West Virginia, when Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, the Chairman Of the Sena-
torial revising subcommittee was
present, and met Mr.. Havemeyer, the
head of the Sugar Trust. These
statements carry with them more than
a suspicion of Mr.. Camden's sympa
thy with the designs of the Sugar
Trust and ever indicate a cooperation
on his part, with the Cancellation"
which the Senatorial committee grant

often heard the Democratic slogan
death to trusts" but it rather looks
that If these combinations are to die
by the hands of the Democratic party
in the Seuate they will live longer
than the oldest patriarch. If Mr..
Camden was in favor of the Wilson
bill conservative as it was to a dis
gusting degree, why was he holding
midnight conferences with the repre-.
selatives of a trust, which was seek
ing to create a prejudice, which would
have to be ''conciliated, or the sue
cess of the whole bill would be placed
in jeopardy. We do not any more
understand this kind of friendship for
the Wilson bill than we understand
Mr.. Camden's declarations in favor OF
free silver and his vote for ~s.lver's
degradation by unconditional repeal.
How would Mr.. Camden view the po-
sition of a supporter" who declared
for him, but when the time came, voted
against him. We trow he would not
feel inclined to reward such friendship
by either commentator or official pa
tronage. Mr.. Camden's position on
the tariff is as anomalous as that OF
the fellow whoi is engaged to two girls.

A lesson in Wages and Prices.

Governor Mckinley in a recent
speech gave the following incident:
The other day when | was speak
ing in Northern Ohio, an old merchant
brought his books to my hotel. II,
had been a merchant from AS to 90
wish everybody might see those Ole
books. They tell the truth. The,
tell the cost of living then; they tel.
the prices of labor then. and | copied
from that old book-one Of them-an
entry dated June 80. 1883. and it was
an account between the merchant OF
the village and the carpenter of the
village.
The carpenter was working for the
merchant, and on June so, 1858. the
merchant credited him on his daybook
with one day work at $3.50 a day, and
on the same day the carpenter bought
the following four items, which are
charged in the merchants book, with
the price at that time, and these were
the items: Vineyards ofcalico at I2Hc.
a yard, SI.I5; rine yards Of lawn at
I2Hc., SI.I3; eight pounds of coffee
sugar at I2Hc. a pound, $500; ard
twelve pounds of cut nails at &C. a
pound, Sac. The total for these four
items in 1857 was $40. The wages
received by the carpenter was $3.50 a
day. He gave to the merchant his
one days work, bought these four
items, and owed the merchant s.. 90
in cash.
Now let's take the carpenter OF
1899. The pay of the carpenter OF
1892 was from s.. so to SAYS a day in
Ohio. take the lowest, S2.5o. Now
charge him with the same four items

penter in 1892 gave his one DAYS work
to the merchant, bought these -four
items, paid for them, and out of that
days work had 42c. in cash in his
pocketbook.
THE carpenter of 1883 gave the

CHAPTER XIX

11aI LIN Ala
As the Federals poured into the Shen-
andcah valley and regained lost ground
the quartermaster and commissary
stores left by jackson under the guard
of a few score men at Harrisonburg
were made ready to be forwarded to
Richmond. While Royal Kenton fully
realized that his being left behind was
but another move in the conspiracy to
destroy him. he allowed no one to I'M
derstand tho real state of his feelings.
There was work to do, and plenty of it,
and he took hold SC willingly that only
a few days had passed before he was
commended for his zeal by the major in
command of the post.
Unexpected difficulties arose about
securing transportation, and though re-
ports of a Federal advance were daily
received the major hung on in hopes of
saving the stores. One morning at sun
rise his pickets were driven in by troop
ers in blue, and 10 minutes later he re-
ceived a summons from General Custer
to surrender. He had only about 200
men all told, while it was plain TO be
seen that he was fairly surrounded by
the force opposed. He asked for is
minutes to consider and at the end of
that time returned a refusal. His little
force almost to a man had agreed to
fight to the last. Three or four earth
works had been thrown up to protect
the supply depot, but they were with
out artillery. The force was divided so
as to man them all, and Royal Kenton
and Steve Brayton found themselves
and about go other men in a work with
out even d noncommissioned officer
among them. As they were already IN

given command.
