address to the ministers of your city,

A POOR SUFFF RING PEOPLE
Pay Railroad Fare While Legislators who
Gull Them Ride on Passes.

Pay Railroad Fare While Legislators who
Gull Them Ride on Passes.
\ The following from the Argentine Re-
public is clever description of how the
member of the legislature uses his pass
while the common folks have to buy
tickets for which they pay hard cash.
But then the common folks" might
change things. The Republic says:
From reports throughout the country
it seems that almost every state in the
union has presented some kind of an
anti-pass bill this winter in the legisla-
ture; yet if there is any one thing more
than another that the average congress
man or purple senator dOtes on in this
world, it is neat little railroad pass. 1t
is not because they are penurious and
dislike 10 spend their collateral, but
nothing stamps the perfect man" or
holds proud diamond studded conduc-
tors in respectful subsection like fash
ing neat little pass on their astonish-
ment, signed with the bold bad
hands of the president and general man
ager.
A pass is also the genuine stamp of
"caste," and marks man for distinction
all over tbs road, for a coach may be
crowded to suffocation, yet the man with
pass usually occupies two whole seats
and hat rack When Conductor Short
approaches the man with pass. it is not
with the usual harsh word, E'tickets," but
the moment he enters and slams the door,
his face is wreathed in smiles and he
merely asks in low, sweet, modulated
voice, "How far, please?" ''Topeky."
and that ends it.
The next seat, probably, contains a
man and his wife and two children and
the conductor approaches him with a
pencil over each ear, punch in his hand
and frown on his face like Ajax defy
ing the lightning. The mans hands
tremble as he hands the proud con. an
envelope from which he pulls ticket
two yards long, good for six days over
all the bridges and terminals, with
stop-over privileges between hades and
Hanover. How the con. delights in vic
iously tearing off two feet or more of
that ticket as it slowly unfolds to the
floor and the punch is getting in its dead
ly business before the poor passenger has
time to ask what time he will get there.
OIL this anti-pass legislation makes me
weary; trying to rob poor editors and
statesmen OF their only prerogative and
bring blush of shame to their damask
cheeks when they don't happen to carry
little base metal from some dirty gulch
in the mountains.
The railroads that are the most vitality
interested in the pass business are not
doing any kicking, except when an IN
licensed man of God tries to play the
half-fare racket. or a bum tackles the
blind baggage like "ships that pass in
the night" This is official!

STREET RAILWAYS.
A Remarkable Increase in Mileage Built
Each Successive Year.

| CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 2l.-The Iron
Trade Review this week will say: With
no strong tendency as to prices, the iron
trade is nearing the season that is ex-
pected to tell more plainly than has been
indicated thus far, what sort of year
1895 is TO be. The signs OF promise have
been accompanied by much that is not
SO hopeful Rail buying has not been of
the volume the steel companies had look
, ed for, and the 10000 tons placed in
January would be more satisfactory if it
were not that on some of it the buyers
are bound to specify in 1895.
Thus far specifications on rail con-
tracts have come slowly to the mills. On
other classes of mill products the cur :
rent output is of moderate proportions
and there is encouragement in the fact
that as the season advances, work will be
more abundant. The sales of the past
few weeks for spring delivery make
| this sure.
! A good many country electric railway
enterprises are afoot, and 1895 promises
TO IN .intain the ratio of increase in this
demand, which showed a total of los, 900
tons of steel rails for city and inter town
electric lines in 1894 against 1873, 423 tons
in 1898; 1850 tons in 1892 and 81, 3 il
| tons in 1891.
Recently developments have empha-
sized the uncertainty about the price of
coke that hangs over the blast furnaces
supplied from Connellsville ovens The
announcement by the Illinois Steel com
pany that its plate mill would be in
operation March 10, means so much add
ed competition in central western terri
tory for ship plates and tank steel and
there are signs that in consequence, the
district tributary to Chicago may see a
more aggressive campaign in other
lines by mills whose plates will be dis
turbed by the new arrangement

Cured is considered to favor the chances
of public disturbance. while the large in
fiuence of Bedouins into the outskirts of
the city during the last few weeks is re-
garded as disquieting feature.
All these symptoms wildly recall those
that heralded the massacres in 1882 For
some time past one of the Khedive's pro-
teges, whose patriotism has been stimu-
lated by dismissal from the government
service for peculation, has been busy
among the Bedouins distributing Khedi-
val largesse and recruiting a bodyguard
for the Khedive's person.
That the dangerous agitation has been
artiticially provoked, is evident from the
contrast. Alexandria presents to the COM
pIete tranquility and contentment pre-
vailing throughout the rest of Egypt
since the formation of the ministry of
Nubar Pasha.

Case of cotton, at least, no real overpro
duction, but that there has been ''au in-
creasing demand, equaling the increas-
ing supply"
After briefly discussing what the COM
mittee deems the depressed effect of
high tariff policy upon the production of
cotton, the matter of futures" is taken
up, and gambling" in prices is unreser-
vedly condemned, IS contributing t. low
prices. The committee in arguing the
right of the federal government to legis-
late on the subject, declares 'the business
of dealing in futures in cotton. can only
be transacted in the two exchanges of
New York and New Orleans, and that
the latter is merely an annex to the
| former"
The committee concludes that the
dealings of these exchanges interfere
with inter state commerce, and the
power of congress should be exercised
to abolish them. sin this view" it de-
clares, sit is the manifest interest of the
whole country that all arrangements,
customs of trade, which artifcially de-
press the price of cotton should be
abolished.''
1t is declared in conclusion that deal
ings in futures" generally depress the
price to a considerable extent, and that
congress not only has the power to abol
ish them, but it is in duty bound to do SO.
One-holf of the report is devoted to
what, to quote the language of the re-
port, 1--WE now consider that cause for the
low price of cotton which we deem the
most potent, the demonstration of sill
YER"
1t is declared that production is suffer
| ing from extremely low prices, the re-
suit of appreciation of gold. The com
mittee says as there appears no imme-
diate prospect for the great remedy
needed to raise the price of cotton, the
reconciliation of silver, they feel called
upon to suggest certain palliations which
/ could be adopted. One of these is the
repeal on the duty of cotton
manufacturing machinery, but they also
consider it impossible to secure this re-
lief and fall back on the suggestion to
the cotton raisers to keep their money at
home by raising their own supplies and
diversifyiug their crops and invest the
money now spent for these in erecting
cotton factories at which they say they
can be made successful in the cotton
states

BAD NEAT AT THE ASYLUM

Reports of Carelessness in the Cooking
Department There.
All the trouble at the Insane ASYLUM
was not wiped away with the turning
down of DR.. McCasey if the reports
which come from the institution are cor
rect
The latest trouble is about the bad
meat which it is said is served Cd to the
patients.
A STATE JOURNAL reporter has been
informed that the meat which is now
served, is occasionally as bad as it was
prior to the meat investigation in 1891.
One morning last week the patients and
attendants in the brick building were
served with an ''Irish stew" for break
fast
The meat was bad and very few of the
attendants and many of the patients were
unable to eat it at all, while the patients
who did eat it were almost Immediately
taken sick.
As many as dozen patients were TAX
en- violently sick after eating their break
fast that morning, SO says the JOURNALS
informants
The employees say the man who has
charge of the kitchen, "Cook" Smith. is
responsible for the bad meat
Smith was formerly employed in the
kitchen and since DR.. Eastman returned
as superintendent he was made head
cook.
In 1891, similar complaint was made
about the meat served at the asylum and
the state board of charities started an in
vestigation which was never completed.
but the quality of meat served was great
ly improved.

A SHARP CONTEST.
The English Commoners and the Govern

The English COmmoners and the Govern
ment Contrasting for Supremacy.
LONDON, Feb. 22-There is great
anxiety in the Hobbies in the house of
commons this afternoon as to the result
of the coming division on the motion of
Sir Henry James for an adjournment of
the house, in order that he may call
attention to the Indian import duties on
cotton.
It is said that the Lancashire party
have promises of the support of
number of conservatives, as
we'll as liberals interested in the
cotton trade and that the combine
strength is sufficient to bring about the
defeat of the government. The attitude
of the government however, it is under
stood will depend upon the decision to
be arrived at a cabinet council to be held
today.
The Tory Pail Mall Gazette says that
it is anxious that the government should
be turned out at the soonest moment
possible but that it will be sorry to see
them defeated on Sir Henry James mo-
ton
