Sunday visitors came from many sur

the source of Castalia creek and extends
underneath the town. The people or Erie

of the willow trees through which the
boat was being laboriously pushed. The

forts to right it. In the excitement the
animal kicked the side Of the boat to
pieces and the entire family was drowned.

WHEELINa. JANUARY :, M.


The meeting tomorrow Of the Della
ware legislature is being looked forward
70 with great interest. Hardly anything
that may happen Will be a surprise. Par
tisan feeling is wrought to high pitch.
There Is a probability Ut the Democrats
organizing one legislature and the Re-
pnblicans another. This would result in
sending to washington two men to con-
test for a seat in the United Estates sem
ate.
The Republicans carried Kent. one Of
Delaware's three counties, electins the
seven members of the house TO whom
that county is entitled. The Democratic
canvasslng board threw out the Repub-
iicans and certlhed the election OF their
own. Then began court proceedings be-
fore Democratic judges. the Republicans
being successful. Then the Democrats
undertook mnre court proceedings, the
decision in which has not been given.
II Is not thought that the Democrats
In the legislature will pay much atten-
tion to the movements In the courts, and
this Is why trouble Is looked for. For
small state Delaware has shown re-
markabie capacity for getting up a big
row Of this kind.

mn,r a. nnIl,rar lIen Voted.

The immense majority OF the railway
vote was this year cast for Mckinley.
In the eastern and middle western
states, as well as in the states of the
Pacific coast, 1t Is certain that not less
than so per cent and probably over 70
per cent, Of the railway employees voted
for the Republican presidential cleo
tors in spite of the fact that not less
than 50 per cent OF the number nave
heretofore been, and stu are, Demo-
Gratis II is not necessary here to dis
cuss what the effect OF that vote was
on the result OF the election. Let 1t
suffice to say that In at least seven
states which are In the Republican
column, the Republican majority was
less than the number Of railway votes
which were cast for the Republican
ticket
Ii should be distinctly borne In
bind. that these men voted as they did
avowedly as railway men. Their move
ment In support of the Republican
ticket was quite apart from and indie
pendent Of the general movement of
The Sound Money Democracy. To the
motives which impellcd the better ele-
ment OF the Democracy In other walks
of lie to vote for sound money, wheth-
er their motives were those OF patTi-
ntism or OF dislike of the Individual
planls In the fcee silver platforms,
there was added in the case Of the rail-
way employees the conviction that the
triumph OF Mr.. Bryan would mean
above all else the prostration of the
railway interests and a consequent
reduction In the poy-rolls or the com
pAnles, while what remained oc the

William Rutherford, of San Francisco,
who talked TO the ways and means COM
mIttee on Saturday, gave the whole
country a reminder OF very interesting
Industrial development in Japan. When
thai little Aslatic country awoke from Its
long sleep it jumped out of bed at once
and began to look around to see what
was going on elsewhere and how it was
being done. IT saw that IT must get in
touch with western civilization, and TO
that task 1t devoted itself with unfalteT-
ing determination. 1t sent It's selected
youth into the great world to be edu-
Gated, and It brought In western educa-
tors to lay the foundation of great edu-
catIonal system. 1t studied western
markets
Then It hit upon the happy thought Of
irving to take part of those markets.
So 1t became a purchaser of machinery
in those markets; which was good. Now
II is operating that machinery with Jap
apeses labor; which is not good for the
United states. In osaki alone are sixty
cotton mills built since 1892, equipped
with imported machinery and operated
with native labor. Women work thir-
teen hours a day for six cents. men for
twelve cents.
The distance is no protection to Ameri-
can labor. The remedy is to be found In
good stlff specific duties.

DOUBLE TAXATION
A systsm 10 which Correspondent Calls
the I,egiSIatHTs's Attention.

A System TO which Correspondent Calls
the I,egisIatnTs's Attention.
To the Editor or the Intelligencer.
sIR:-I think that the attention OF
our state legislature should be called
to the system Of double taxation
which prevails Ia West Virginia, VIZ;
Taxation ON notes secured by real es-
tate and taxation on the real estate
also. In other words, man is taxed
on real estate that he has only an
equity in, and then the man who holds
the notes against 1t is taxed.
Besides. It is class legislation the
taxation OF citizens of this state, when
people and corporations that are IN
other states can loan their money here
without tax.
l think the law by all means Rhoulu
be changed, or be tested, as peleVe
the courts would decide the law I'M
constitutional.
To illustrate: Suppose a man owning
a piece of real estate Is assessed al
$1,000, which, In numbers OF cases
known to your correspondent, Is the
market value of the property, and gives
n deed OF trust to secure the note. In
that case the supposed owner has only
an equity in the property and pays
taxes on q 5000 assessment, and the
holder of the note secured by deed OF
trust Is assessed Tor taxation on the
$4,000 note. This Is manifestly unjust
and should be corrected.

In 1892 the average price of woods OF all
kinds in the Philadelphia market was
22.ss cents per pound. The average price
of the same woods in the same market In
1895 was 1885 cents. Here is an average
decline Of more than cents in the
pound, an immense loss to wool growers
with no corresponding advantage to any
body in this country. The advantage
has been 10 foreign growers OF wool.
Nobody detected the difference when
ne went TO buy his clothing. But the
same policy applied TO other things made
1t more difficult to get The clothing, for
where employment was not lacking alto
gether wages were lower.
There Is probably not a wage-earner
in the country who would not be glad to
give the farmer the old price for his wool
IL that would bring back the old condi-
lions chat made work easier to get and
at better wages. The folly Of the free
trade idea is pretty wen understood In
this country by this time.

The treasury reports for the month of
December surplus OF receipts over ex-
pendftures amounting to little over
s2,OOO,OOO The deficit for the six months
Of the fiscal year is close up to $4,000, 900.
This is one of the results of "tariff-for-
revenue" which does not produce enough
revenue for the national housekeeping.
On the revenue side of the tariff ques-
ton Congress has ample justification for
passing a new tariff bill. The other side
Of the question has to do with the pro
lection Of home Industries, which means
revenue for the people. Hero again
there is reason to move Congress to early
