Jobbers Petition the Railroads in
Behalf of Country Customers.
New York, March &c. Some of the whole
sale merchants OF New York are endeav-
oIing to secure reduced rates on the rail-
roads for out otto n merchants who may
wish to come to this city for the pur-
chase of goods in the spring and autumn.
Such concessions are often made for the
benefit of the Western and Southern cities,
and comnsittee OF New York merchants
called uron the toard OF managers of the
Joint Traffic Association OH "Wednesday
to urge that the trunk lines offer similar
Inducements 10 buyers to come to this
city.
The plan proposed is that an arrangement
shall be made whereby at the request OF
a member of the Board Of Trade andTTans-
ton to he formed, an order shall be issued
to railroad agents to sell to specified out
of-town merchants who desire To come To
the city to bay goods, tickets ut
the full rate, with certificate, which
Will entitle the holder to purchase his re-
turn ticket at tone-third OF the regular
rate. This privilege is asked for a linn
tied period in the spring aud autumn in
order TO give country buyers the chance to

gested that the first trial of the plan
should be made so that the dates would

1t will be seen that the West is more
strongly represented in President Mckin-
ley's Cabinet than it has been at any time
since the Republican party first came into
power. The Cabinets as they were first
formed are taken as the standards, and
while there were changes later, they did
not 10 any great degree or for any length
of time, affect the result. The increasing
prominence Of the West in the Cabinets is
proof of the growing population and POI
hticai power of that neighborhood. 1t is
probable that more just division of the
States would place Ohio and Michigan in
a new division known as the Middle West
as they were designated during the cam
paign of 1896. In that case President Nc
Kinley's Cabinet would stand as follows.
The Eastern States, 2: the Middle Western
States, 4; the Western tates, 1 and the
Southern States, L.
The number of times the different States
have been represented in the Cabinet since
the foundation OF the Government. and
including President McKinley's Cabinet,
is as follows: California, L; Massachu-
sets, 80; New York, 20, Pennsylvania,
20; Virginia. %; Ohio. 20; Kentucky, 8;
Maryland, 16; Connecticut, 8; Indiana, g.:
Georgia, g; Tennessee, 8; Illinois. Z; Maine,
g. South Carolina, s; Missouri, 6; Delaware,
o; Wisconsin, 8; Iowa, 8; Michigan, 3:
Mississippi, 4; New Jersey, a; North Caro-
lima, A; Louisiana, 8; Minnesota, g.: New
Hampshire, 8, West Virginia. 3; Vermont,
2; Alabama, L; Arkansas, L; Colorado, L;
Nebraska, 1 Oregon, L. The States which
have not been represented in the Cabinet
are Florida, idaho, Kansas Montana, Ne
vada, North Dakota. Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and
wyoming. OF the total members of the
Cabinet five States, Massachusetts,, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and virginia,
have had 26 members, a large preponder-
ance, larger probably than they viii ever
have again. The Mckinley Cabinet is re-
newed proof that political PC wer is passing

MoRTGAGED WIFE AND CHILD.
BaDghart Offered His Family as
Security for Loan.

Reaiiag, Pa, March &c. Alderman Feg-
ley, OF the Eighth ward. was called upon
yesterday to decide one of the most in
teresting cases that has been brought to
his attention for some time 1t was a
charge OF assault ard battery against
Frank T. Meyer, preferred by Mrs. Re
becca Banghart.
When the nipainant had related her
story, the defendants attorney asked her:
Now, isn't it true that your husband
wanted to sell you TO Meyer for $2O?''
Yes, il is said Mrs. Banghart; but
Meyer didn't live up to the agreement.
Ny husband and Meyer made the bargain
that Meyer was To pay $40 for my child
ami myself, and he was TO furnish home
for u.s.
Wesley Banghart, the husband. when
asked If he wanted to sell his wife, said:
q. Yes, did. Meyer came to my home, and
| Offered to give her to him in the way OF a
loan if he paid me $50. l wanted to get
rid of the marriage license
Did you ever expect to have her re-
stored to you2'' asked defendants attor-
ney,
No; it was for good. He was to sup
port her after that; but he didn pay me,
and wouldn't give her up unless he did,
was Bangharts answer.
We'll said the alderman, after hear
ing this remarkable testimony, 1.-THE de
PENDANT in this case is discharged.

Hard Times and Hard Stuff.

IL the official statistics on the subject
are to be believed, the growth OF temper
ance in drink among the people OF the
United States has shown reunarka tile prog
ress for number OF years. Five years
ago. speaking statistically, every man,
woman and child in the country drank enc
and half gallons OF spirits per annum.
Now they get along with a single gallon.
During the same period the use of wines
decreased from about half a gallon per
capita to a quarter gallon Even beer,
the national beverage. which the people
consumed in 1892 to the extent of fifteen
and twenty eight hundredths gallons, now
gallons head.
Commenting upon these interesting facts
and figures, the American Grocer states
that II GOO, 900 people drank less spirit
uous liquor i'm 1896 than $4,000 900 did
in 1887 The whisky bill of the nation
III 1896 amounted to S2T0 600 900,
while in 1892 and 1898 it averaged
$500, 500, 600.
The question, of course, arises as to
whether this notable falling off in the
consumption OF all kinds Of alcoholic bey-
erages indicates the growth of an absti-
hence sentiment, or only sreflects the re-
duced ability of the people to buy what
they want If there should be return
of national prosperity the question might
be answered; but it is TO be feared we
shall have to wait some time for that OPP
portunity, and perhaps the best thing to
do will be to charge the change up to ad-
vancing virtue.

Beware of Trans.

The position of Senator Chiffon on the
arbitration treaty appears to be replete
with American common sense He insists
upon an amendment to the first article
OF the draft, which would provide that only
such matters shall be submitted to arhi
tration as the Senate then in existence
may deem proper for arbitration. without
such a modification, 1.-THE United States
in the future might be charged with violat
ing its treaty obligations If it refused to
submit certain questions TO arbitration
when they arose as matters of difference
between the two Countries
Senator Chiffon is right. American pub
lie opinion has grown up TO exactly the
view of this matter that he takes; where
it does not go farther. and believe with
Senator Morgan. that the whole business
is q delusion, and snare for the walk
ing into which we would be sorry to the
end of time.
