There has been good deal of grumbl-
ing on the part of patrons of sleeping
cars, some well founded and some not.
Mr.. j. R. Wood, the general passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, recognizing that some of the
complaints were worthy of attention,
has addressed a circular letter to all of
the general passenger agents of roads
using the Pullman cars, asking them to
join with him in request to the Pull
man company to reduce the price OF
upper berths. 1t is proposed to ask a
reduction of twenty-five per cent in
favor of upper berths. The present rate
for sleeping berth from New York to
Chicago is five dollars, for either upper
or lower. Nearly all people prefer a
lower berth, but if an upper could be
had for 1915 many would be glad to
avail themselves of it and save 81 .25,
leaving more space for those who are
willing to pay the regular price for a
lower berth.

WHY MARYLAND WENT RE-
PUBLICAN.

Senator German has recovered suffi-
ciently from the rude awakening which
the late elections caused, to offer some
explanation of why Maryland went re-
publican. German "ffers the correct
reason when he attributes the landslide
to the sympathy which the people of
Maryland htv9 iJr protection. That
state is becoming more and more desir-
GUS of obtaining q leading position in
the manufacturing world, and the policy
of the democratic party offered them no
good prospects for such a condition.
While Mr.. German has overlooked the
fact that his own misdeeds have con-
tributed in no small measure to demo-
cratic success, yet Maryland would have
gone republican this year if German
had never lived or been statesman of
unblemished reputation. The same
causes that made Maryland republican
this year will operate to the same effect
next fall. Here is Gorman's explana-
tion.
"The state (Marylandl went republi-
can because the republican vote has
largely increased, very obvious and
somewhat significant reason.
E'The republican vote a year ago
throughout the state was 5000 larger
than the democratic vote, and nobody
pretended to assert then that the result
was due to any personal causes or to op-
position to any one man. The fact is
that the protection sentiment in the
state has largely increased. In my own
county, for example, we have a number
of wooden mills. Until very recently
they have been run upon a rough and
cheap class of goods. In the last two or
three years. however, they have under
taken higher grade of work, and in
order to do it they have been obliged to
import large number of skilled labor
ers from Massachusetts and other New
England states. Most of these men are
republicans. A like condition of affairs
exists in other counties of the state, and
here we haye a very considerable in-
crease in the republican vote accounted
for. There has been a change, too,
among democrats who are naturally in
clined toward protection, and who be-
lieve that republican supremacy will
more certainly insure permanent pro-
tective policy. There is no question
that the protection sentiment among all
classes is now very strong, and many
who believe in the doctrine have been
disgusted by the business depression of
the last two years. Naturally they turn
to the party which is not IN power for
relief, especially in view of the fact that
that party has consistent protection

HE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Spokesman Review: The single re-
deeming feature of the message is Its
strong reassertion of the Monroe doc
trine. While in all other respects the
president advances no foreign policy, it
Is pleasure to note that respecting
Venezuela and Ehgland's interference
there he speaks with vigor and patriot
ism. In other respects the message is
hardly worth busy mans time for
reading. 1t does not even possess the
merit of giving the country concise re-
view of the various affairs of the gov
ernment.
Evening Telegram: In his message to
congress President Cleveland made no
allusion whatever to the Nicaragua
canal. That the omission was accidental
must be doubted in view of the numer-
GUS matters of comparatively minor i'm
portance which were generously treated
to language. The country is very anx-
ious to learn just how Mr.. Cleveland
stands on the canal question, and the
best and quickest way to ascertain his
attitude is by sending to him for sigma
ture a bill authorizing this government
to assume control of the canal and COM
plete Its construction.
Pendleton East Oregonian: In every
part the message is dignified recital of
all our relations at home and abroad,
and this IN a spirit of the utmost fair
ness, the broadest treatment and with
full consideration of every individuals
rights, no matter his position or stand
ing among his fellowmen. 1t is needless
to say that the presidents message is a
business mans document as we'll as the
utterances of a statesman and American.
There is none of the virus and bluster of
the jingoist about it. There is no chad
blood" shown against other countries
and governments, but a determination
to preserve and uphold the right that is
refreshing.

Preacher Jim's Sermon.

Across the Beaver from New Brighton,
Pa, is cliff $50 feet high. There is a
narrow gulch at one point, wide enough at
the bottom for good sized crowd to as
semble. 1t is well sheltered, and for the
past two years has been known as the
cramps retreat" Many a cold evening
they have built fires and fraternized around
them, "talking shop" Sometimes as high
as 20 or 80 would assemble.
The other evening about s o'clock the
residents on this side were surprised to
hear the familiar strains of "Jesus, Lover
of My Soul" emanating from the gulch.
There were half dozen uncultured voices
joining. Investigation showed that
Preacher Jim, as he is known on the road,
had happened along. He claims to have
been q Presbyterian minister at one time,
with a charge in Illinois. During the
evening his pals" jokingly proposed that
Preacher Jim deliver a discourse. Jim
mounted log, and soon the coarse jokes
ceased. Jim told touching story Of his
life. At the close he said:
"Baok in Illinois there is a broken heart
still beating for me- When l left her eight
years ago tonight she was singing Jesus,
Lover of My Soul Let us sing. Pitts

POPE LEO's PROPHECY.
A Little Story Which Foretells His Early
Demise.

A Little Story Which FOretells His Early
Demise.
In the Vatican garden grows vigorously
a grapevine which Leo planted with his
own hand and in which he has always
taken parental pride Beginning this week
the vine was covered with fruit
"Look," said the sovereign pontiff to
his attendants. "Those grapes will yield
fine wine, but shall not be here to drink
of it."
In the Vatican this little story is told
daily, and there is not one man within tho
walls of the great palace, from the cardinal
secretary of state down to the humblcst
papal guard, who does not know or believe
his holiness spoke of that vine with the
spirit of prophecy strong upon him.
1t would be plcasanter if the statement
of Vatican affairs could stop here, but the
conscientious reporter is bound to put on
record the fact that the struggle for the
succession to Leo XIII has already dom
mencCd with its attendant cabals and in
trigucs. The merits of the rival candidates
arc discussed and wranglcd over.
Political influences are taking Sides and
one can almost see now the cOnclavo di-
vided into three Contending camps, French,
italian and Austrian. Human frailties
cannot be excluded even from the sacred
college. The struggle for the mastery is
bound to be fierce and timid spirits are
yearning for some compromise which shall
prevent modifying strife,-Cable Dispatch

How Jspan Ranks as a Power.

A report received at the department Of
state from Consul General McIvor at Kan
agawa, Japan, gives the population of
that country in 1894 at AZ, 600, 900. Add
ing FOrmosa, which became part of the
country by the late treaty with China, the
population is estimated at 10, 600, 900. The
area of the country is given at 1896
square ri. Compared in extent with Eu-
ropean countries Japan stands next to
Spain, being about equal to Sweden. She
is larger than Great Britain and Ireland
by 6,933 square ri and is the eleventh
largest country in the world Compared
with Great Britain and Ireland, she has
7,110,000 more people and in population
ranks as the fifth power in the world. The
estimates given, Mr.. McIvor says, are con.
sentative and reasonable.

Two Hundred Men In Arms to Prevent
the Zeiglers' Arrest.
The situation in Scheven county, Ga,
as the result of the murder of Sheriff
Brooker by the Zeigler brothers, is 70
markable for civilized community.
The Zeiglers are intrenched at their home
stead, about five miles south of Sylvania,
and swear that they will not be taken
alive They are Populists, and the district
is strictly Populist. They have many
relatives and family connections, all of
whom have espoused their cause and sworn
to stand by them to the death. A dozen
or moro Of the close friends and relatives
of the Zeiglers remain in their house or in
the immediate neighborhood, it is said,
and all are heavily armed. The house, it
is said, is like an arsenal. 1t occupies
commanding position.
When old man Solomon Zeigler was
killed by Brooker in quarrel over politics
several months ago, it is said that the
ZoigleTs determined on revenge and coun-
seled with their friends and relatives, who
agreed to stand by them. Therefore they
killed Brooker. There isl large farm bell
in tho yard, and it was agreed that this
bell should not be rung except as q warn
ing of danger and a signal for the Zeiglers
and their followers to gather together to
resist an attack. The Zeigler following is
said to number 200 men.-New York Sun.

The Thieves, Textbook.

There has come into the hands of the
Partisan police a copy of u book bearing
the title Manuel du Parfait Voleur Dams
les Environs de Paris" Literally, Manual
of the Perfect Thief In the Environs of
Paris'). This interesting work was written
by the chief Of gang of burglars, and is
intensely practical. 1t treats of the most
successful and approved ways of "CraCk-
ing" country houses.
The introduction contains this state
ment: "The environs of Paris are divided
into four sections, each of which is con-
trolled by band of burglars having it's
own center of operations and never passing
beyond the boundaries allotted to it, as in
that case it would seriously interfere with
the work of the band operating in the
neighboring section" The manual" ex-
plains how each band procures detailed in
formation regarding the villas which it
has marked for pillage. Some local real
estate agent is visited by one of the bur
glars in the guise of a man seeking a de-
sirablc house for his family. Several chap.
tiers describe the best mthods of dispOsing
of stolen goods and how to prepare them
so as to prevent their Identification.
The auohor of the book, though long
suspected, had been able to elude the po-
lice for many years, but soon after a copy
of his work came into their possession he
himself was taken red handed. He gave
the police much useful information, how
ever, which resulted in the incarceration
Of many of his comrades, and so escaped
with light sentence, though on his re-
lease it is likely that unless he emigrates
his career will be cut short by knife or
revolver in tho hands of some of his for
mer associates. He is man Of excellent
family, received fine education and once
served in the French army.-New York
