ON the breakfast Table.
The president of the United States,
Mr.. Grover Cleveland, has seen fit to
recommend to congress that coal and
iron ore should be admitted into the
United States free of duty, and that
sugar should be taxed. The extent Of
such an evil may be briefly stated as
follows:
The coal product of the United States
In 1892 was $50, 900, 900 tons, worth
e207, $50, 3Sl at the mines mouth. II
afforded employment to 341. 943 work
ers, who each found remunerative &C.
cupation on 212 different days in tho
year. Their earnings amounted to 1884,
800, 1875, and all expenditures to $146,-
$50, $50. The total amount of capital
invested in the coal mines was $780,
900, 600. The principal states of pro-
duction, i'll their order Of Importance,
were Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, West
Virginia, Alabama, Iowa, Colorado,
Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas,
Missouri, Wyoming and Tennessee. The
United States senators from these states
are interested in the welfare and pros
perity of their state enterprises and in
dustries.
The iron ore product of the United
States for the year ended June 30, 1890,
was IA, 51S, 041 tons of 2,240 pounds
each, worth $33, 351, 97S at the mines
mouth. 1t afforded employment to 49,
227 workers, who earned $14, 400. 151.
The total amount of capital invested
was 500, 766, 100, and the total years
expenditures were $24, 7Sl, 1858 from
592 different mines. The principal states
of production, in their order of impor-
lance, were Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ala
bama, Illinois, New York, Virginia,
Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Missouri and
Maryland. The United States senators
from these states are interested in the
welfare and prosperity of their state en-
| terprises and industries.
The sugar consumption of the United
| States on basis of $4,000, 0O0 people,
at per capita consumption of 65
pounds, is AGO, 900, 900 pounds of
sugar. The value of 4,42O, 900, 600
pounds at 3 cents per pound is $132, 600,
600. An ad valorem tax of 40 per cent
upon this $132, 600, 600 will be $53,
O4O, 900. This tax of $53, GAO, 900 di-
vided among the 68, 900, 900 consumers
of sugar will be rs cents upon each man,
woman and child, or SO. 80 upon each
| family of five persons.

Distribution IN PULLMAN.
Strikers Relief Committee Makes Out a
Bad State OF Affairs.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Altgeld
paid visit to Pullman yesterday aud
made personal investigation of several
cases Of destination and found that the
story of practical starvation had not been
greatly overdrawn. Today he will re.
ceive the relief committee of the Pull
man strikers, and ways and means of as
sisting the suffering will be discussed.
Governor Altgeld heard the strikers re-
lief committee tell the extent of the desti-
tuition in Pullman. They showed that
they had given aid to 2,463 families durin g
the strike. The total amount spent on re-
lief had been $4,000 But subscriptions
have now ceased. The committee thought
that 1000, families had been made self
supporting by the opening of the shops,
leaving 1900 to be provided for and moth
ing to provide with.
The grocers of Pullman trusted the
strikers until it was impossible to do SO
longer without bankruptcy. AS contri-
button to the question of enforced pay
ment OF Pullman rents the committee
stated that originally about half strikers
resided in Pullman and half in Roseland
and Kensington, the latter half compris-
ing most OF the common laborers and the
Pullman half most of the skilled work
men. The men who have returned to
work are principally the laborers from
Roseland and Kensington.
The talk about evictions seems to have
been premature, No one has been evicted,
although number are moving out. In
nearly all these cases they owe considera-
BILE rent, but are going without settling;
they cannot settle, having no money. The
company is not interfering In any way
Most of those who would go have not
enough money to get away. There is talk
of asking Pullman to provide free trans
portation.
The result of the investigation was that
last night Governor Altgeld issued proc
lamation "To the people Of the state of
Illinois and especially to those of Chi
cago,' stating that there Is great distress
growing out of want of food in and around
Pullman. More than ] 900 families, or in
the rneighborhood of 5000 people, are ut
terly destitute; nearly tour-fifths of them
women and children. eve cannot
now stop to inquire into the cause of this
distress. The good people of this state
cannot allow women and children by hun
dreds to perish of hunger. l therefore call
upon all humane and charitably disposed
citizens to contribute what they can toward
the relief OF these people," The governor
has made arrangements with the overseers
of the poor of Cook county to render
necessary assistance until contributions
begin to come in as the result of his
proclama 5ion.

We've been in the famous vine

Orange, California, but nowhere
have we ever seen finer Muscat
grapes than those grown upon Mrs.
Ullman's place in this city. The
clusters were mammoth in size an |
the berries were one-third larger
than quails' eggs, while the quality
of the grape could not be excelled.
The grape seems to b. literally az

profitable anywhere it could not
fail to be here. The famous Lon
don layers of Fresno are made from
smaller grapes than those in Mrs.

Beyond the Grave.

Why ponderest thou, o! man of thought,
Trying to solve the mystery that God hath
wrought,
Beyond the grave,
With all thy skill and art
Thou canst not tear the veil apart
That hides the spirit world.
Nor has thy thoughts revealed
The mystery that lies concealed
Beyond the mortal sphere,
For death alone can show
How little thou doest know
On this terrestrial globe.
Art thou disslpated slave
Or some perverted knave
That fears to meet his God,
Or dost thou seek for fame,
o. bards whose poetry reigns
Through every cline.
II this shall be the view,
May thy thoughts be scattered through
The ages yet to come,
For thou canst not wait
You must meet the inevitable fate
That leads but to the grave.
And thou must drop thy mortal yoke,
And receive an immortal cloak
OF celestial glory,
Then close thy deathly eye
And wake in the new world with sigh
Before thy God.

held a conference with Senators
Faulkner, Hill, Mcpherson and
Smith. Con gresham Mark and ex-

senators ali favor Arizona's admis-
sion, but there is a doubt among
some of them as to whether this
territory would return two demo-

admission at the present session of

Though there is some doubt,
therefore, about immediate admis-
sion, the friends of Arizona still
have hopes of being able to remove
the senatorial uncertainty concern
irg the territory's democracy and
so secure what our people most
anxlously long for.

within the power of man, adds

THERE are many things we don't
know about the tariff. One of
these is the effect which the tariff
has on wool. The high duty on
that commodity placed thereon by
the Mckinley bill is still there and
has been since that bill passed, and
yet wool has been ruinously low.
How is this, anyhow
