She Lived on Ocean Liners.

Chicago, ILL.,, January 24-Mrs. Eli
jah Carson, who had crossed the ocean
go times and had meyer missed trip
on the Lucania since that vessel was
launched, died on Friday at Ananosa,
Iowa, aged "A. For thirty years she has
been travelling continually across the At
lantic. until she had become intimately
acquainted with all the prominent peo-
pie who are in the habit of visiting
Europe.
She was the wife of Elijah Carson,
of Belfast, and the sister of William b.
Newell, a millionaire. of Nashville,
Tenn. The latter died in 1866, leaving
her half a million, which gave her am
pie means to follow her fancy for ocean
sailing. She had a special affection for
Captain Mckay and the officers of the
Lucania, and is said to have left them
substantial legacies.

The next administration intends to
change the tariff in order to subsldize
the trusts that elected it. The chances
that it will proceed at law against the
monopolists are not worth taking into
consideration. Aside from bluff or
two, it will, do nothing to hamper its
friends and proprietors. 1t will be a
great surprise if it does not give the Su-
gar trust and the other combines all that
is demanded,
Nothing can be done to rescue the peo-
pie from the clutches of the plutocrats
until the next national election. In the
meantime the people will have to grin
and bear it.

Convict Burned to Death.

Auburn, n y January 25.-Warden
Stout, of the prison here, gave out a
statement to the Press to-day of the
burning to death of convict in the
prison last night. The unfortunate was
James McTaige, an Elmira transfer, sen
fenced from New York county for a
term of five years, June Z, 1898, for
grand larceny, second degree.
McTaige had smuggled naphtha to
his cell on the fifth gallery of the south
wing, which he was using for cooking
purposes. About 80 P. NJ. an explo-
sion occurred and the guards and wait
ers Immediately went to the scene, but
McTaige was enveloped in flames, and
before assistance could be rendered he
was so seriously burned that the efforts
of the physicians summoned proved to
be unavailing and he died a few hours
later. McTaige's time would have ex-
pired in March next.

In North Dakota, Monday, the ther-
mometer registered so below zero, and
80 was the lowest at Minneapolis. while
at Quincy, Ill, the Mississippi river is
frozen so solidly that teams cross on the
Ice. In Texas the cattle are freezing to
death, and in Lexington, KY, a negro
woman met like fate. Her two little
children were discovered in time to save
their lives. Another dispatch from
Bismarck, n. D., states that the storm
was the worst on record. There is
much suffering among farmers and 9th
ers exposed to the storms fury and
many have perished The loss of cBttle
on the ranches will be frightful.

IT is more vital to the public, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, to check the en-
croachments and oppression of monop-
oily than to lay tax, imposed incident
ally or deliberately, to benefit the COM
bination of American sugar refners,
What scandal there was in the passage
of the present revenue act was concen-
trsted around and about the sugar
schedule.
The people will demand rigid ac-
counting of congress, and with respect
to tariff legislation they will insist that
no tax shall be levied to foster trusts OF
promote monopolies. One safe and GER
tain rule for congress to observe is that
of putting upon the free list every man
ufactured product, foreign competition
with which is hindered by duties.

The following is an interesting COM
parison taken from Press and Printer:
Suppose that farmer raises l, 200
bushels of wheat year, and also sells
this to l 200 persons in all parts of the
country, a great portion of them saying:
Il will hand you a dollar in a short
time. The farmer does not want to be
small and says all right. Soon the
1000 bushels are gone and nothing to
show for it, and he then realizes that he
has fooled away his crop, and its value
is due in a thousand little driblets.
subsequently he is seriously embarrass-
ed in business, because his debtors each
owing him one dollar, treat it as small
matter, and think it would not help
much. Continue this year in and year
out, as the publisher of a newspaper
does. how long would he stand it?''

SnGw Storm i'm England.

London, January "a. The snow storm
which began on Friday continues and is
causing many Interruptions of travel
and other inconveniences. Many sheep
and other small animals have perished
and the losses sustained by farmers and
others will be quite heavy. The snow is
SO deep in some places that a number of
trains have been blocked. The heavy
wind, which accompanied the snow
storm, has done considerable damage
along the coast. Some of the fishing
boats which have arrived at Lowestoft
report the loss by drowning of several of
their crews. A number of boats were
quite badly damaged in the buffetings
they received while trying to make
port. Quantities of wreckage are being
washed ashore on the Norfolk coast in
dicating the loss of some vessel or yes
sela at sea.

THE Legislators are with us again, says
the Harrisburg Patriot. But they have
no thought of getting down to work
They are here as a matter of form. The
most of them are here to oblige Senator
Quay. Their constituencies have not
been thought of.
The Legislators will not remain at the
capital this week. The committees are
not yet fixed. Those who are to be hon.
ored or rewarded are numerous and many
of them hard tosatIsfy. 1t will take some
time to drive certain big pegs into small
holes and to fill up big holes into which
small pegs have dropped. Further, a
great deal of ''reform" has been promis-
ed and each committee must be SO care
fully arranged that it will be barely pos
sible for any of these pledges to be kept
There is now every likelihood of a
long session. 1t may also become a
very interesting one.

nearby foreign markets the best results
might be anticipated.
