Encouraging Reports From All Sec
tiOns-WesteFn Grain in Demand.
Baltimore. July 3O.-The Manufacture
Record reports that the most conspicuous
feature in the business interests of the
south at present. is the remarkable ac-
tivity in the shipment Of grain from Kan
sas and other western states to gulf ports
for expectation.
Large contracts are being made for
transportation, western roads are reported
in some cases being short of sufficient roll
ing stock to meet the demand for grain
bound to the gulf.
At Charleston, S. c., a rice storage
warehouse is to be turned into a grain
elevator with a capacity of 100000 bush
els. This will enable Charleston to better
compete for handling grain intended for
export.

Cornelius vanderBiIt's Charity.

From the New York Times.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is one of the most
charitable of American millionaires. He
believes thoroughly in scientific charity,
and not in giving aims Unfortunately.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has a private secretary,
whose sold duty is to take care of the
correspondence relating to his charitable
works both public and private
While he was at his Newport cottage
the case of a young Swedish workingman
of good habits and high moral character
who had been suddenly cut off through
Illness from the means of earning his
livelihood, was brought to his notice. Not
only did Mr. Vanderbilt at once send the
young fellow a check for $100, but he had
daily reports sent to him concerning the
invalid's health. When the young man
was we'll enough to travel, Mr.. Wander
bilt sent him home to Sweden for a holt
day, paying all his travelling expenses.
Quiet deeds of charity of this kind have
long since endeared Mr.. Vanderbilt to old
Newport residents and cottagers, who ad-
rnire and respect him in a high degree,

Men who Do horses work.
From dc Cleveland world.

FROM the Cleveland World.
One, IL not the greatest, obstacle in the
way Of the Industrial progress of Japan
is the fact that upward of 100000 of the
most muscular Of its population are en-
gagged as beasts of burden. In this cali
culation / do not include those occupa-
tons In which the day laborers of all
civilized countries are engaged. The
statement is simply based on the fact that
over 100000 OF the vigorous manhood are
engaged In the transportation Of people
and commodities from place to place, per-
forming the work which in Europe and
America is done by animals. by steam,
by electricity and other modern methods
OF conveyance. SO tremendous Is this
drain upon the population OF the empire
that much OF the other hard labor, such
as loading coal in vessels, handling heavy
freight on railways, the driving and load
ing Of pack-horses, heavy teamwork and
the like, Is performed by women who.
dressed In tight blue cotton trousers and
TUNES, are compelled to do for Japan
what the longshoremen, yardmen end
farm laborers do in the United States
The estimate that over 100000 men are
engaged in the mikado's empire in these
degrading occupations is based upon the
fact that the returns OF 1895 show q total
of 139,4 All jinrikishas and sl4 $50 handcarts.
AS all these carriages and carts are IL
censed, the returns are probably correct
In the case of the tinrtkishas the number
or pullers and pushers is greatly in excess
of the number of vehicles. This comes
from the fact that some of the vehicles
have two men. and because in large cities
the same vehicle is rented out during the
tWenty-four hours TO two different men,,
1t is safe to assume that nearly 10000
coolies are directly and indirectly engaged
as pullers and pushers of these convey
ances. As for carts, the same holds true.
They are propelled with enormous loads,
sometimes by two bent and wrfnkled old
men, sometimes by one strong and heavy
young man of low intelligence, and sofne-
NfW.sa~ k.w 49,
years of age. One million, therefore,
would seem to be within the mark This
gives us a total of 10000 human horses.
To the ordianry observer these jinrikis-
has seem a novel and delightful expert
ence. They combine all the Joys of a hui
man horse. They help you into the car
riage, hand you your parasol or umbrella.
tuck the rug around you and land you at
the door of the shop or house. Moreover.
they take care of your parcels. In rainy
weather they pull up the hood and fasten
the oilcloth in front, so that nothing but
a peephole is left. and you are safe from
the wet and mud. All you see is the
bare legs OF the MISUNDERSTANDING crea-
coat of a reedy grass, is rushing onward
through slush and snow and sleet and
rain. This is well enough for the passen-,
ger within, but what are the effects of
the occupation upon the man without?
What is the effect Of the employment Of
], 10000 of the robust men of japan in
this way and in the hauling Of carts upon
the rest of the popu1ation7 These are
questions that must be carefully weighted
in any estimate of the future Industrial
importance of Japan.

PUT THE REST TO SHAME.
"A One-LegGed workman Performs
Wonderful Feat.

Pittsburg, Pa, July SO.-Last evening
Peter Warbanac and Samuel Moody, top
filters at Lucy furnaces, were overcome
by a rush of gas from under the bell.
Warbanac fell headfirst down the mouth
of the furnace, a-lighting on top of the
bell, which was almost at a white heat.
Moody called for help and himself at
tempted to rescue Warbanac. He also in
hailed the deadly gas, and fell into the bell.
Other workmen came to the top of the
furnace and were discussing plans of res
cue, when John Reynolds, a one-legged
man, jumped down on to the bell and
passed the men up to those above him.
Reynolds was then assisted out and al
though almost overcome and badly burn
ed, quietly .hobbled away. Warbanac died
within few minutes of his rescue, and
Moody cannot recover. Reynolds heroic
action is the talk of LaWrenceViIle.

Municipal Changes.

At noon today the executive depart
ments Of the city government will pass
for the first time in ten years, from
Republican into Democratic control.
The record which the Republican party
has made during this decade of munich
pal administration Is endurably written
in the city's magnificent development.
Waves of prejudice may from time to
time blind the electors eyes to that rec
ord. but 1t will stand, for 1t Is now his
tory.
OF the outgoing officials it can be
truthfully said that they have been
honorable, public-spirited and faithful
to their trusts. So far as the executive
branch of the city government is con-
cerned, its duties during the past three
years have been performed conscien-
tiously and with ability. Had there
been equal conscience and equal ability
in the legislative department, the re-
suits would have been even better than
they have been.
The Tribune proposes to treat Mayor
Bailey fairly. We shall not go out Of
our way to criticize him because he is
q Democrat. We shall endeavor at all
times to remember that he is the elected
chief magistrate of the whole city and
shall judge his official actions by the
standards expected to govern the
mayor of a large, liberal and enlieht-
ened city like Scranton. We wish him
success. We trust that his admins
tration may be clean, straightforward,
progressive and business-like. We are
ready to cooperate with him in all
broad measures for the common well
fare.

lnexOrable Alternatives.

Wnlle II would OBVIOUSLY be out or
place for The Tribune to offer to the
new mayor advice from a party stand
point, 1t Is proper enough to say that
the politicians who are importuning
MIR. Bailey for favors bear only a small
proportion to the number of citizens who
simply and unselfishly wish his ad-
ministration to dignifed. business
like and helpful to the best interests
of the city. 1t is possible that the Ques-
tion will more than once present itself
to him for official answer whether the
active party workers or the people gen.
orally shall be accorded his preference.
In such a contingency we believe that
the new executive will find 1t to the
ultimate advantage of his administra-
tlon to act broadly and firmly from
the standpoint of the non n-office-seeking
public, without much reference to the
effect of such action upon the distinc-
lively partisan element Immediately
surrounding him.
The circumstances of Mr.. Bailey's
election are certainly favorable to the
adoption of q policy of independence.
His debt to the workers of his own
party, no matter how they may strive
to magnify it, is small He manifestly
to no one faction. The power conferred
upon him by that election could. there
fore, with propriety, be reserved for
use toward purely public ends. The
opportunity before him to consider
questions Of appointment and removal
solely with reference to the best in
terests of the city irrespective of fac
tion, personal claim or party pull, Is
elected nominally on party ticket.
He could, with exceptional justification,
say to his advisers: Gentlemen, con-
slider that have been called to the ex-
and that 1t is my duty to administer
tina. trust on strictly business prin-
ciples, neither discharging nor employ
ing a man except for business, rather
declaration, rigidly adhered to, would
probably cause disaffection among the
small circle Of active politicians who
have none but selfish interests in view,
1t would win and retain the confidence
of the immeasurably larger and more
important class who regard municipal
Office as a thing unsuited to low parti-
san manipulation.
Between these two elements in the
community there is no durable middle
ground. The official who attempts to
face both ways Is lost. Either the
politicians or the people must eventual
ly predominatc. Neither class will long
rest satisfied with a compromise. II
is the UNMARRIED history of municipal
government in this country that the
men who achieve distinction are pos
tive and uncompromising men, who
cspouse one or the other of these alter
natives and thenceforth proceed unde-
viatingly. Mayor-elect Bailey wiz to-
day find himself confronted with the
duty of making choice between these
ineXorable conditions of official policy
and it is our honest advice to him, Of
fered in the friendliest possible spirit,
that the prospect of greatest success
lies in the direction of answering In
dependence.
