IGNORANCE OR HYPOCRISY.

Closely following the whisky indisna-
ton meeting at Topeka, Rev. c. NJ.
Sheldon opened out on the temerarious
saloon keeper in his pulpit Among
other things, the reverend gentleman
boosted that he himself had visited the
Infamous resort of polished mirrors
end enticing decanters, and that he had
found 1t attractive In the same con-
pection he said that one of his Sunday
school scholars had told him that he
had never seen a saloon and he was
going to visit the place TO satisfy his
curiosity. Mr.. Sheldon deplored the
chances Of such a visit, declaring that
had it been made doubtless another
drunkard would have been added TO
the already long list of lost souls.
Such talk as this may be honest, but
we doubt il. Rev. Sheldon knows, if
he knows enough to preach to an en-
lightened congregation, that the Illicit
whisky traffic Of Topeka has been state
talk for years. 1t would not do for the
Eagle to assert that there is three
times more drinking in Topeka than in
Wichita, because il would be set down
ss simply 4 reflection of Wichita preju-
dice, or an attempt TO make out a case
of hypocrisy against Mr.. Sheldon. But
opportunely comes a pronounced friend
of Topeka, paper which is always
praising Topeka's social life and its
business enterprise. with an opinion
that is pat. The editor of the Atchison
Globe. in referring to the roar about
and the pretended distress over the dis
covery of an open saloon in Topeka,
says that 1.-The records show that there

After careful study of most of the
self-propelled carriages, from the
earliest times to the present day, Sir
David Solomons concludes that steam
is much the most suitable, and advan-
tageous motive power. In England
electric energy for carriages cannot be
calculated at less than eight cents per
horse power hour, and accumulations
must be frequently rechareed, with
considerable loss in useless travel un-
less charging stations are to be found
throughout the locality. The cost of
benzine gas would be about a fourth
as great for the same power, steam,
from petroleum fuel at twelve cents
per gallon, costing about the same as
the gas. The Trenton IN. j. Ameri-
can claims that the best existing motor
the world has yet seen for its power,
method of fuelling, suspension springs,
and travelling long distances before
recharging is one which is likely to re-
main with us for many long year to
come, whatever may be the future de-
velopment of motor traffic. tits known
and loved by all under the name of the
horse.

Many an honest penny is being
turned by farmers or their wives by
taking summer boarders from the city,
notes the American Agriculturist. 1t
is estimated that the farmers in the
little State of New Hampshire, for in
stance, receive over a million dollars
each summer from this source. The
amount paid in some other States is
still larger, especially i'll New York
and Pennsylvania. This estimate does
not include the regular summer resort
business, but only the farmers and
small boarding houses on farms. In
Michigan and Wisconsin this industry
is on the increase among the farmers.
It is a business well worth catering to.
The pay is fair, in some cases very
good, and these boarders furnish far
more profitable home market for fresh
fruits, vegetables and dairy produce
than to ship such stuff to the almost
always crowded city markets. Farm
ers' families who have made the largest
success in this line are those who not
only have everything neat and whole
some about the homestead, with per-
feet drainage and sanitary arrange
ments, but who take pains to furnish
fresh from their own farm and garden,
the rich cream and milk, butter and
cheese, fruits and vegetables that city
folks so long for.

coal operators in the western fields, fright

miners, have banded themselves together
with the common purpose of smashing the
coming strike at its birth. To this end they
have employed 100 private detectives, and
have scattered them oyerthe great coal fields
of western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois,
West Virginia and Ohio. The detectives
have been ordered to collect evidence
against the miners leaders, SO that injunc-
tions can Immediately be placed on the most
dangerous. Conspiracy suits are limited at
There will be more skilled workmcn idle
than before at one time in the past % years,
or perhaps in the history Of American indus

the iron. steel and tinplate industry Of
the United States has already made $4,000

iron and steel workers idle and has deprived
their 40 600 unskiled helpers Of work. OF
these sc. 900 skilled workers there are 90
