dent, Will Not Lose Her Sight
Several weeks ago Mrs. L. j. Bick-
ert, of upper Fourth street. met with n
peculiar accident, an infant child strik-
ing her in the eye with its finger, the
tiny, razor-like nail cutting into the
eyeball.
For time it was feared that she
would lose the eye, but her friends will
be gratified to learn that under skill
full treatment the wound has so far
healed that her sight is almost normal
and will be permanently recovered.

Olney to secure a settlement of the dispute.
Continuing, Secretary Sherman says:
me manner In which the British gov
eminent has discharged its police duties
under the award is in marked contrast with
rs appeal for a strict observance of the
five years period Of the regulations An
equal obligation rests upon each govern
ment TO patrol the waters embraced in the
award IN order to see that the regulations
are not violated by the sealing vessels"
The secretary of state here quotes figures
10 sustain his contention, and then says:
AS II is shown that practically no patrol
service mas been rendered in Boring sea
by the British cruisers during the previous
year, the inference would seem TO be that
her Majesty's government understood that
the American cruisers only were to perform
the patrol duty, and the British cruisers to
talk over and act upon the validity of
seizure of British vessels. The detailed en-
forcement of the regulations has further
developed on the part of the British govern
ment strange conception of the true spirit
and intent OF the arbitratOrS.
In this connection, Secretary Sherm an
blames the British authorities for giving
notice that their government would not re-
new the arrangement as to the sealing OF
arms
The next paragraph says that the tardy
action of the British government in refus-
ing TO renew the arrangement of 1894 led to
much trouble and inconvenience In connec-
ton with the patrol of Boring sea, me
complaints of the British government
against the severe measures of search re-
sorted to by American cruisers, the result
ant lengthy correspondence, the various
propositions made by Secretary Olney and
the fact another season has been entered
jIpon without any settlement of the ques-
ton are all commented upon by Secretary
Sherman. In conclusion, the secretary says:
1.-The President therefore, cherlshes the
hope that even at this late day the British
government may vet yield to his continued
desire, so often expressed, for conference
of the interested powers, and IN delivering
to Lord Salisbury copy of this instruction
you will state that the President VIII nan
with great satisfaction any indication on
the part of her Majesty's government OF
disposition to agree upon such conference.

Indianapolis is emphatically a wheel
town, and all the conditions are favorable
to a proper reception of the National
League of American Wheelmen next year
if the meet can be secured for this city.
The move in that direction taken by The
Commercial Club and other public organ
izations shows the interest felt in the mat
ter and argues we'll for final success. If an
energetic committee is appointed to take
the preliminary steps and to present the
case at Philadelphia next month there is
good reason to believe that this great gath
ering will be one of the events of next
summer in indianapolis 1t will bring many
thousand wheelmen here from all parts Of
the country, and, apart from its attractions
to the multitude of local bicyclists, Mill be
of benefit to the community in the variety
of ways that the entertainment of Il crowd
of visitors involves. If me feeling among
local wheelmen may be taken as an tdi-
cation the L. A. w. can look forward to
an enthusiastic reception if it shall decide
to accept the Indianapolis initiation.

A DISCOVERY ABOUT COAL.

1t is reported that the coal operators have
come to the conclusion that no more coal
has been sold, in the aggregate, since the
wages were cut, than before when prices
were higher. This is probably true. In
less the price should be exorbitantly high
it would not seriously check the volume of
consumption. So long as there is a demand
for merchandise and the products of the
country call for transportation, there will
be about the same quantity of coal con-
sumed, quite regardless Of the price. 1t is
when factories are closed and railroad
trains are shortened that the consumption
of coal falls off. Closing factories and the
loss Of business by railroads are not the
kind of evils which can be cured by cheaper
coal. Indeed. the more cheapness there is
the more factories will be closed and the
fewer trains will be run. More than a
million men, women and children depend
upon coal digging for support. When coal
is so cheap that wages are cut to one-half,
a million people must live on half wages.
That is a loss to all other producers but
TO the ldTILST- % long DIS COAL
is so cheap that half or two-thirds wages
can be paid for the digging, and allied or
kindred industries are similarly affected.
cheapness alone will not create the volume
of consumption which general employment
at fair wages insures.
If the coal operators have made the not
very wonderful discovery that selling the
product of their mines at prices which cut
wages and sacrifice profits does not in
crease the demand they should be able to
come to an arrangement watch will pre-
vent the selling of the market supply at
poverty prices when just as much can be
sold at rates which will afford fair wages
and reasonable profits. This arrangement
should be more easily made at a time when
the demand for coal is gradually increas.

Massachusetts, lawyers are engaged at
present in trying to decide whether women
in that State, either residing or visiting
there can wear in their hats any other
feathers than those of domestic fowls with
out mourning penalty. The last Legisla-
ture passed a law intended to protect bird
life by forbidding the use of certain kinds
of feathers for millinery purposes. The
law says:
Whoever shall have in his possession the
body or feathers of any bird whose taking
or killing is prohibited by Section 4 OF
Chapter ZIG of the acts of the year 1886, or
shall wear such feathers for the purpose
of dress or ornament shall be punished as
provided in said section.
Section of Chapter 276 of the acts of
1856 imposes a fine of $40 for the killing of
any birds except game birds, whose feath-
ers are not used for ornamental purposes.
The chairman of the Boston Police Com
mission holds that the use of the word
his" in the first line of the section above
quoted makes it applicable to men who
deal in them, but better lawyers say the
following clause covers the case of women
who wear them, and that without regard
to whether the birds were killed in Massa-
chusetts or elsewhere. Women may wear
the feathers of ducks, geese or barnyard
fowls without mourning any penalty-but
will they?

THE SUGAR CONTENTION.

1t is probable that the message which it is
reported that Speaker Reed sent to the con-
ference committee has not tended to the adj
justment of the differences in the two tariff
bills, If he were speaking for himself alone
his interference, or whatever else it may be
called, would be inexcusable. Such was
not the case, as the speaker was represent
ing the views of laGge part of the Re
publicans of the House, embracing all the
Western members. They had been disturbed
regarding rumors of a compromise on the
sugar schedule. The difference between the
two schedules is small fraction of cent.
Ordinarily it would attract no attention.
Both the Senate and the House bills are
less favorable to the American sugar refin-
cries than the law now in force. But the
people are greatly exasperated with what
is known as the Sugar Trust, not SO much
that it has made sugar dearer as that it
has undertaken to control the (vgar trade
and has disclosed a purp& u, interfere
with legislation. II it were an open bust
ness subject to the usual competition there
would be no excitement over the possible
one-twentieth of cent pound difference
in the two bills 1t is the feeling that it is
conflict between the friends of the Sugar
Trust and the people which has aroused
the Republican members to ask the speaker
to communicate with the conferees.
1t is generally understood that the con-
ference committee has gone over most Of
the differences in the bills and come to an
understanding, except on two or three i'm
portant schedules including that of sugar
The disposition of some of the members is

tied on the House basis before other topics
are disposed of. They propose to insist on
the House schedule because it was made

The Lottery Industry Dead.

The lottery industry is dead The Ding
ley bill has slain it, for Section 10 of that
measure prohibits the Importation of lot
terry tickets into the United States, and pro-
Vides fine and Imprisonment for violation
of the law. Customs officers who wink at
the entry of such tickets are visited with
severe penalties, and every avenue of ap-
proach to this country is well guarded.
This is the first time in the history of
the country that tariff bill has prohibited
the importation of lottery tickets. In 1850
Congress passed the Anti-lottery postal law,
which shut lotteries out of the mails, and
newspapers containing the advertisements
of such enterprises" were confiscated if
found in Uncle Sans mail bags. 1t was
this law which put a quietus upon the IA
nous Louisiana State Lottery.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, endeav-
ored a few years ago to throttle the foreign
lotteries by imposing a prohibitive duty on
their tickets. This line of attack met with
the fatal objection that the legality of any
business was conceded when the govern
ment taxed it, and the effort proved abor-
tive. But Mr.. Dingley has gone 70 the root
of the trouble and when his bill becomes a
law the United States. which has already
eradicated the evil within its borders, will
be free from any possible visitation of the
foreign lottery pest.

House. The Senate caucus subsequently
cut down the difference between the Senate
and House rates one-half and that reduc-
ton was made part of the bill. Senator
Jones, Populist, is believed to be the most
fnsstent member of the committee for the
Senate rate.
Whatever may have been the action in
the past, senator's and representatives
should understand that the people do not
want any advantage to be given the Sugar
Trust and that if theipeople were consulted
they would accept President Havemeyers
statement to the effect that the American
refners can refine sugar as cheaply as the
European, and make the duty the same on
raw and refined sugars. AS it is they will

Municipal Ownership.
Municipal Affairs


Gas plants are operated by 16S cities OF
England and Scotland, including almost
every city of consequence, except London;
OF the lagest such as Berlin Hamburg and
Dresden; by Brussels, by Amsterdam, by
many cities in the British colonies and by
twelve American cities, including Wheeling,
Louisville. Richmond and Philadelphia.
Electric lighting plants are operated by
over 200 American municipalities, includ-
ing Dunkirk. in this State. and Jack
sonville, Springfield, Little Rock, Topeka.
Bay City, Detroit and Chicago; by many
British cities; by some in the Australian
colonies: and by thirteen German cities.
including Hamburg and Dresden. Street
railroads are owned and operated in thirty
some cities of Germany Switzerland. Rol-
land and of the Australian colonies. by
Toronto, and in measure by New Or
leans. TO put the matter into condensed
form, municipal ownership of one or mof~
of these street franchises prevails N over
seven hundred cities, and is authorized ny
the laws of score of States and counties:
Time was when private ownership OF ak
street franchises was the rule. Now the
chiefest cities of the world are forsaking II.
Progress in the art OF municipal affairs 10
all in the direction of municipal ownership.
Municipal ownership Is, therefore. no new
or even radical thing. 1t is neither Social
istic, commGnistic. nor Popullstic. II IS
feasible and practicable. 1t must be al least
reasonably successful and ii cannot be at
tended with any greater political evils than
the no more universal municipal ownership
of docks. ferries, bridges. markets and the
water supply. So much the experience OF
these other cities indicates to US.
