MANICURE.
OCEAN LINERS ALWAYS RACING.
At the Top of Their Speed Whether
or Not a Rival is I'm sight.

From the New York Sun
Discussing the grounding of the American
liner st. Paul on Saturday, the agent of a
rival Atlantic liner said:
1.-THE newspapers that Jump UP and howl
that this accident was due to the fact that
the st. Paul was racing with the Campania,
and then print long stories about the
crime of ocean racing, simply don't know
what they are talking about. Why, you
know and everybody else who will stop
moment 10 think will see that the big lin
ers are always racing-that they have to
race. The moment the boats on our line
or any other line reach Sandy Hook going
out they put on all steam and go it for all
they are worth They don't go bit faster
because another boat happens TO be in
sight They can't go any faster. If they
don't do their best on all occasions they
wouldn't get the postal contracts, and they
would lose the government subsidies. An
other reason they get there as quick as
they can is that the quicker the trip is
made the less money ii costs the company.
But, above all, the public ought to I'M
derstand and the newspapers ought to tell
them so, instead of denouncing the compa-
Mes that fast travelling on the ocean is
just safe and a great deal more comfort
able than slow travelling is. Can you point
to a single instance where an accident to
steamship on the sea was due to the speed
al which she was going? There is not one.
If you look at the record you will find that
there proportionately fewer accidents
to the fast boats of the big lines than there
are to the slow boats. It's the same on the
water as IL is on the land. Ii is the slow
coach train that gets wrecked five times
out OF six. Fast trains don't run off the
track or smash things or break down. If
they do happen to break down the tools are
there to fix them and the hands are the
most skilled that money can obtain. So on
the great ships. The officers and the men
are a higher grade of men than are en-
ployed on the slow boats and there is
everything on board of a great, swift ship
to repair almost any damage that can pos
sibly happen. But was talking about rae
ing. / want to say that there is positively
no more racing when two boats are run
ming side by side than there is when both
are a thousand miles apart"

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrisburg. Jan. 19.--Much interest
centres in the state Democratic con-
vention To be held in the opera house
in this city the week following the Re-
publican gathering. Two candidates
for congress -at-large and presidential
electors will be nominated by the con-
vention. Eight delegates at large and
alternates to the national convention
ut Chicago will also be chosen. The
state Democratic committee will meet
the day before the convention and elect
q successor to Chairman Robert H..
Wright. of Allentown The members
of the committee from the several divi-
slohs IN the state will meet ut the same
time to elect division chairnen.
VINO the delegates large to the
national convention will be is not yet
known. although 1t is generally admit
ted that they will be friends of Nation
al Chairman Harrity and that the fac
tion at Chicago will be in harmony with
his wishes. The result of the recent
Democratic primaries In Philadelphia
permits MI. Hariity to retain his hold
there ana gives excuse TO the proud
boasts of his followers that he will
control the April convention. Thepe is
nevertheless II strong feeling among
the Democrats in the state against the
rule of the national chairman and his
contest for supremacy. They are al
ready secretly organizing to contest
his right to leadership and claim they
will be stronger in April than have ever
been.
The great question that will come
before the convention will be the de-
mand on the part of Mr. Harrity to en-
force the unit rule on the delegation
to the Chicago convention. 1t is likely
that there will be a repetition of the
exciting scenes of the famous state
convention of 1880 in this city when
there was bitter struggle over this
question. There is II strong sentiment
in the party against the convention
binding the delegates who go to the
convention and many prominent Dem
ocrats and opponents of Mr.. Harrity
Will come to the convention as dele
gates to impose the imposition of the
rule.
There was no unit rule in force in the
Democratic party Of Pennsylvania
from 1850 to 1892 and it is difficult to
all at this time what action the con-
ventlon VIII rake on the question. The
unit rule has never been popular with
Republicans In the national Repub-
lican convention at Chicago in 1880 a
long and earnest controversy ensued
over the power of state conventions
to bind district delegates. Several
days Were spent in discussing this
question and 1t was finally decided
that state conventions had not the
power to bind district delegates by in
structions. 1t was i'm this convention
that the famous attempt was made to
nominate General Grant a third time
and the decision resulted in the loss of
many votes for the old soldier

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK.
Outline of Business Before tho Senate
and House silver and the Monroe
Doctrine viii be Talked Over.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The report from
the senate committe on foreign relations
of the Monroe doctrine resolutions to-
morrow will cause that subject to divide
the time with the senate free coinage
substitute to the house bond bill which
is still the unfinished business. The ex-
treme position taken by the resolutions
in one direction and those of Mr.. Sewell
of New Jersey. in the other. will give
the debate a wide range. Mr.. Davis
has been instructed by the committe to
urge prompt action on the resolution,
and while it cannot supercede the finan-
cial question as the unfinished business.
it will probably receive much discussion
this week. Mr.. Sewall may address
the senate tomorrow during the morn
ing hour on his resolution which de-
clares that the president has gone too
far in his message in enunciating the
Monroe doctrine. The committee resO-
luton will. doubtless. be discussed by
Messrs. Morgan, Sherman. Cullom.
Lodge, Frye. Davis and others in favor,
and antagonistic, probably by Mr.. Gray.
1t Is believed that the result will be al
mOst unanimous in favor of their adOp-
ton and the vote may be taken this
week.
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Daniel have given
notice that they will speak this week on
the financial question and Mr. White
and Mr.. COckrell may also speak. An
additional interest to the weeks pro-
ceedings will be given should the finan-
cial committee report the tariff bill.
This will be done. 1t is understood. with
out another meeting being held. The
nature of the report will depend upon
the position taken by Mr.. Jones. of Ne
vada. Should he still insist upon in
verse report will be made. Should he
vote with the Republicans then the bill
will be reported as it came from the
house. As soon as Mr.. Jones signifies
how he desires to vote the bill will be
reported. This may be done tomorrow.
Business in the House.
In the houseof representatives the
programme of business for the coming
week Is about as follows:
The urgency deficiency bill will be re-
ported by the committee on appropria-
tions Monday and 1t Is expected that
immediate consideration will be given
it. Following that the bill making pre-
parations for the military academy for
the next fiscal year will be taken up.
But little time will be occupied in con-
sidering these. and opportunities for
action on bills by unanimous request
vii be numerous. 1t is expected that
next Friday the committee on invalid
pensions will invoke the rule providing
for night sessions on that day to begin
the consideration of private pension
bills.
During the week the committee on
ways and means will give several hear
iEgs. On Monday advocates of bill
to establish a sub-treasury at Savannah
will be heard. and on Wednesday will
be held the final hearing on the GUS
toms administrative act.

EDGES ANNUAL REPORT.
The Secretary of Agriculture Outlines
Work for the Coming Year Specimc ms
OF AduItcrntcd Food

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 19-Secretary
Edges annual report of the department
of agriculture deals with the work of
the re-organized department and out
lines what fs proposed to be done this
year by each of the bureaus Especial
attention is directed to the efforts to
stamp out the traffic in oleomargarine
and adulterated food products. The re-
port Is voluminous and gives much
valuable information. The average
salaries paid for farm hands employed
for the year by the month and boarded
by the employer is S1209. while when
the hand boards himself he receives
Sl9Ol. During harvest time he receives
S1.37 by the first plan and $2.02 by the
latter. The employer estimates that 1t
costs "a cents per day to board the
hand. while the hand estimates that it
costs him about 81 cents per day to
board himself. The difference of SO
cents per week Is made up by his hired
help doing more work for his employer
because he is about to do the chores
when his employer boards him.
In order that the department might
know Just where adulterations might
be expected. and the extent to which
they are Dracticed. Secretary Edge or
dered the selection of a large number
OF articles of food and food products in
samples We're sent to the chemists of
the department for examination, an
alysis and report. The result of this
action thus far proves that such adul-
terations are largely confined to the
substitution of lower grade articles for
the purpose of enabling manufacturers
and dealers to compete with other low
grade goods. The cases in which ma
terials injurious to health are used as
adulterants are rare. and except i'm the
case of Use Of copper for coloring
pickles. might possibly be attributed to
accident rather than design.
The official reporters Of the depart-
ment have been utilized for the colIec-
ton Of a large amount of data relating
to the prices of different kinds of farm
products. the average value of different
kinds of farm live stock. and sundry
other items of interest to the general
farmer. and II is proposed. during the
coming year. to still further utilize this
branch of the department i'm obtaining
regular reports as to the acreage. con-
dition and yield of the leading farm
crops and the condition of live stock in
each county in the state.

go into the Quay caucus with his dele
cation. He refused the money and the
offer was increased to $4,000, to $4,000

CARLISLE A CANDIDATE,
1t Is Claimed That lic Has Been Selected
as CicvcIaud's Successor

Cincinnati. Ohio. Jan. 19.-The Tri-
bune will tomorrow say: There now
seems to be no question that John q.
Carlisle is an avowed candidate for the
nomination for president, and in some
quarters 1t is believed that he has been
selected to perpetuate the Cleveland
dynasty.
In Washington last week it was def
nitely ascertained that MIR. Cleveland
was not a candidate and would not ac-
cept a fourth nomination, even If 1t
was rendered him. a gentleman who
is known to be quite close to the presi-
dent. said to a Tribune reporter in the
Arlington hotel last Thursday that Mr..
Cleveland did not believe in third terms
and felt that the country's safety de-
pended on frequent rotation i'm office.
1t was a very noticeable fact during
the three days that the local commit
tee was i'm Washington trying to get
the national Democratic convention.
that many of the delegates did not care
to exhibit a preference until they had
consulted the secretary of the treasury.
His wish was theirs. and at least five
votes came to Cincinnati by reason Of
fealty to Carlisle.
Governor Caleb West. of Utah. made
no concealment of his position, and he
plainly said that he was for Carlisle
for president and would vote for the
city that Carlisle wanted.
