The improvement in sentiment which has been

The anthracite industry has suffered all

that the anthracite industry is just beginning
to feel the effects of the hard times. This Is n
de,uson which Is profitable for the bears To
encourage. The fact that the so-called coal
agreement among the anthracite companies ex-
pired to-day was utilized by the bears to help
prices lower. Regarding this agreement the bears
might consult the testimony given at the recent

Political science" often of an inge-
NOUS sort, is used in choosing the sites
of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose.
Rio de Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed COM
mission of scientists to select a loca-
ton suitable for a new capital The
commission has fixed upon plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this is
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
in to choose the site of a capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, as
cause and effect.

The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1897-03-12

David Starr Jordan, president of
Stanford University, says: "One Of
the most disquieting features of the
social condition of our times is the
rush of young men to the cities. Re-
sulting from this is the weakness and
instability of the farming population
as compared with the same class half
a century ago. Steadiness of national
character goes with firmness of foot
hold on the soil. We may well look
with alarm on a condition in which
all men of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants Of other nations. AS
matters are, the cities are great de-
stroyers of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
is full of human failures, results of
misdirected effort. A tour Of the prin-
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
on Sunday evening in any great city
will show how terribly true this is.
Certainly one-fourth the present pop
ulation of such city as San Francisco
for example has no real business there.
These people are doing nothing which
is effective for. themselves or helpful
to Others and the condition of the
other three-fourths, and most likely
their own condition, would be distinct
ly improved il these misft persons
would go back TO the FARMS"
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1897-03-12

A decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the state
law of 1898, which provides for the
taxation Of telephone, telegraph, pal
ace car, sleeping car, dining car, ex-
press and fast freight companies, and
empowers the state board of tax COM
missioners to assess taxation other
than that of local character, and i'm
poses a penalty of so per cent upon
those failing to pay their taxes at the
time specified. The amount involved in
the Indiana cases is estimated by the
Indiana encouragement at 100000.
In the Ohio cases the amount involved
is more considerable. The state will,
it is said, be gamer by about $780,
900, the approximate amount of the
taxes for three years, not to speak of
the amount which will go into the
state treasury from this source annu-
ally.
