assume normal conditions, hut they
also knew that without such an alter
alton there could be no permanent I'M
provement in business. The one thing
was dependent on the other. The OPP
Grafton had to be performed, even If
the patient did vince under il. lt has
been performed as skilfully and speed
ily as possible. 1t is safe to say that as
little harm has been done to the busi-
ness of the country by the special ses-
sion of Congress as has ever been done
under similar circumstances. The
main reason for this was the conf
dence of the people and the prompt
ness of the administration. The peo-
pie, after most disastrous experience
with the opposite party, had restored
the Republicans TO power. They had
gone after strange gods, and expert
enced the folly of doing so. They
knew the Republican party and trust
ed it.
The prompt calling Of Congress in
extra session strengthened this conf
denee. When the Cleveland admins
tration proposed 10 revolutionize the
industrial policy Of the country, it
waited ten months before making a
beginning, and it was at least seven
teen months before the natural ankle
ty of business was relieved. The only
anxiety to which business has been
subjected on the present occasion has
been the uncertainty as to rates, and
that was largely relieved in less than a
month after Congress met. All doubt
is now removed. The bill is law.
Its rates will certainly prevail for the
next four years, and there will be moth
ing to disturb the even progress Of bus
mess, unless some foolish money craze
is sprung upon the country TO again set
the people 10y the ears. The new tar
iff may not be everything that every
body wanted. 1t is very difficult to
frame that kind of law. But it is
good enough to form the basis of
prosperity, and it is to be hoped there
will not be need of another tariff law
for generation.

Go to Klondike, Says Stewart.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 22-Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, a California pioneer,
and for most of his life a miner and deal
er in mines, advises young men to 60 tn
klOndike.
Undoubtedly there is a great wealth
of gold in Alaska" said the Senator to-
day, "but it will take hundreds of years
to exhaust the deposits which exist
there. The depth of decayed vegetable
life, combined with the almost perpetual
SHOWS of that country, will present OBJ
stacles which even the powerful spirit of
enterprise cannot entirely conquer. 1t
will never be like gold mining in Cali
fornia and Australia. In those countries
the mining districts We're open and the
eli mate most favorable.
"It was possible for even a novice to
quickly learn the way to select the most
promising spots for base of operation.
The physical aspect of the country was
not hidden by SHOWS, as in the case of
Alaska. and men could rapidly gain a
knowledge of where the most likely
places for finding the gold were situated.
In Alaska it will be different, for there is
only a short season in which the SHOWS
permit comprehensive idea of what the
country is.
Thousands will perish because they
have not the physical nor the moral
stamina to survive. Yet even this array
of difficulties should not frighten young
men who have really determined to seek
their fortunes in Alaska. If they do not
find fortunes in the gold fields. there are
many lines of work opened up by the
great gold boom.
"The boom will be good for the West.
for it will take young men to that ooun-
try who are filled with the spirit of en-
terprise. and these young men will make
a place for themselves even if they do
not find enough in Alaska TO bring them
wealth. Ii will make men of them if
they survive the struggle, and that is
NOR to be desired than a weak and grad
ual degeneration, which is sapping the
life and energy of the idle men of the
East.
"The cost to great corporations in min
ing gold in Alaska will be so great that
they will not control the mines there for
many years to come. California was
gone over quickly. and the inevitable
ownership Of mines by companies was
correspOndingly rapid.
''The Alaskan climate and other nat

this in the newly discovered gold coun-
try. This will give the placer miner a
much better chance for many years to
come than was ever enjoyed by the pio-
neers of 10 in California These things
should encourage men of good health
and stout hearts TO try their fortunes in
the Alaskan gold fields"

CONSIDERABLE conjecturing is being
indulged in these warm days as Ia
what name the ''fakirs" will select to
designate their county ticket when
they fully awake to the realization that
Manassas Shumaker and Ephraim
Coleman are the regular Republican
nominees, and, as such, will be placed
in the Republican column on the OFF,
cial ballot this fall As the law con-
fines the party appellation to three
words, a number of the names suggest
ed cannot be considered. Among those
suggested and deemed by some appro-
pirate are: "KOoser's Own Party;',
Assistant Democratic Party old
time Kickers' Party ''Fakirs' and
DisOrgsniEsrs' Party" 1t is none OF
ear fsneral, bat the first name suggest
ed strikes us as an appropriate ons.
Some OF the personal admirers of the
fake" candidate for Jury Commits
sionsr have suggested "Bully Johns
Party" n suitable name, but others
have rejected it as being too suggestive.
After all, it is not Of great moment
what maine is selected, as it will not
likely live long even in local political
history. We greatly doubt whether
the new party, by whatever name il
may be called, viii poll sufficient votes
TO entitle it to place on the ballot
next year. They may decide to 20
over, ''body and breeehes," TO their
Democratic allies, and thus obviate the
necessity Of selecting a new party
name.

Went Into Effect on Saturday.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury holds the new tariff act
was in effect at the beginning OF the day
on which it received the approval Of the
President, and therefore became opera
tive after midnight Friday, July 23d.
Assistant Secretary Day sent the follow
ing telegram TO collectors of customs:
Department holds that new tariff law
covers and includes all customs business
on July 2ith."
Later in the day a formal circular of
instructions covering more fully the de-
partment's views on the subject will be
printed and mailed 10 all customs col
lectors. The opinion Of the Attorney
General has not been requested on the
matter. the department holding that the
question is not OF sufficient importance
10 justify them in taking it 10 the courts
for final determination, Independent of
what the views of the law officers of the
government might be as 10 the merits Of
the case.

To Rival Miracles.

BosrON, Mass, July 24.-Dr. ii. A.
Mclean, Presbyterian clergyman, ol
Portland, Maine, announces that If given
the necessary permit he viii demonstrate
that what Christ had done could be done
again; that he would suffer himself to
be buried in coffin under three or four
feet of earth, and remain there for forty
days without food or water. He spe-
cifically stated that there would be no
tube or communication with the open
air, such as has been used where per-
sons under hypnotic influence have been
inferred.
81 shall arrange, provided the neces-
sary permit is granted" he said, ..for
the construction ofa coffin under my own
direction. There will be apertures in
the sides of this coffin which will admit
what air may pereolate through the por-
Gus ground which / will select. As a
guarantee against any trickery or sub
terfuge. | win deposit 5000 as a reward
for the discovery Of any trickery.- The

DIEGLEY's TARIFF rs LAW.
Passed in the Senate by Vote of 40 to
so-signed by Mckinley.


WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 2L-Presi-
dent Mckinley signed the Dingley Tariff
law at minutes after o'clock this after
noon, and tonight at Q o'clock Congress,
having passed the act for which IL was
called in extra session, adjourned until
the first Monday in December. Both
Houses first listened, however, 10 the
Presidents Currency Commission mes
age. the House passing the q. w. Stone
Joint resolution TO agree Ia such COM
mission. and the Senate ignoring il.
Last of all Speaker Reed announced
the House Committees, which he has
been holding back all through the extra
session. All legislation, including the
Senate resolution 10 stop the negotiations
between the Government and the Union
Pacific Reorganization Committee. ex-
cept the Tariff bill, went over TO the reg
ular session.
President Mckinley was very happy
man tonight, and spoke freely about his
great qualification at having his tariff
policy so quickly and satisfactorily car
ried out by Congress.
The President said, after he had signed
his name at the foot of the sixty pages of
parchment, that he wished il understood
by the members of the Cabinet and the
personal friends who were present that
it was not perfnnctory approval which
he had given to the bill, but that be had
never signed anything in his life with
more satisfaction. lie said it was as sat
isfactory rs any general revision of the
tariff could be, and in all its main fea-
lures met his cordial approval.
II passed the Senate finally, through
the adoption of the conference report, as
soon as the roll could be called after
o'clock, by vote of 40 to 80, McEnery
being the only Democrat who voted for
it, and Jones and Stewart being the only
Populists who voted for it, although all
the other Populists except Heitfield, who
was paired against it, refrained from vot-
ing, and so did Senator Teller.
The most interesting thing about the
vote, except the majority itself, was the
fact that Senator Hanna, who had at first
voted proudly for the bill he did so much
TO make, had to withdraw his vote when
he was reminded of his general pair
with Rawlins, of Utah. who was not
present.

SENATOR QUAY's ''fiery cross" will
he borne throughout the State of Penn
sylvania much earlier than was gener-
ally expected. He has announced his
intention 10 submit the questio of
his reelection TO the United States
Senate to the people of the State, to be
voted upon at the county elections
next spring. Senator Quay made this
statement to Benjamin X. Focht, a
member Of the State House of Repre-
sentatives, few days ago when he Wis
tied Senator Quay at Washington. In
order to carry ont the proposed plan,
Senator Quay will have TO register in
every county in the State and pay the
regular fee to have his name printed

An Outrage Upon Taxpayers.

The trustees of the Lehigh University
say that unless they get the State appro-
priation they will have to close the
school. Then they had better close. If
the university must be supported out of
the State treasury then its continuance
would be an outrage upon the taxpayers
of the State, as they certainly do not
mean 10 support as part of their educa-
tional system universities such as Le-
high, or the University of Pennsylvania.
There is a constant complaint among the
people-whether justly founded or not
about taxation and with respect to our
common schools many people believe
that the State has attempted too much,
when il has provided that this system
shall receive the large annual appropria-
ton which it now receives. 1t is under
stood that the appropriations made this
year to the State Normal School are the
last which these schools will receive, al
though they are employed daily in the
instruction of teachers, and that hereafter
State Normal Schools, like other private
schools, where tuition is paid, will re-
ceive no aid from the State. And this is
right. The Telegraph has frequently
said there is no good reason why one or
two universities in the State should re-
ceive money from the State treasury that
does not obtain in the case OF all the col
leges, academies and private educational
institutions in tho State. During the last
ten years the system of lndiscriminate
distribution of public funds has obtained
to such an extent that to-day the treas
ury is unable to meet its engagements.
4 new system ought to be adopted. aud
at once, and it is gratifying to know that
Governor Hastings indicates DISPOSE
tion to make a beginning. Public opin-
ion is strongly opposed to the State sup
plying funds for many of the institutions
now receiving aid, and the clamor of per-
sons Interested i'm these institutions
ought not TO blind the eye of Governor
Hastings to .he fact that disinterested
public opinion condemns all these appro-
priations. If Lehigh University has no
means TO continue its existence then it
ought to be abandoned and its students
can be educated in any of the thousands
of other educational institutions of the
country-Harrisburg Telegraph.

From Blindness to Active Business in
Twenty-Eight Days.

One year ago Mr.. A. NJ. Cunningham,
Ottawa, Kansas, found himself blind in
one eye from cataract and the other fail
ing rapidly. He had the one operated
upon by an occulist in st. Joe, Mo-, re-
sulting in painful confinement and a
totally blind eye. The other was now
too blind TO do business. He then came
to Pittsburg for the express purpose of
placing himself under the skillful care of
Dr. Sadler, sol Penn avenue, whose rep
utation for success in cataract has extend
ed throughout the length and breadth of
the United States. The result in this case
added another Laurel to the doctors cred

either with the operation or after it. In

tainly worthy of consideration. No sea-

SIsrERsvILLE, W. Va, July . Six
masked robbers robbed and tortured Mrs.
Shreves, aged 90 years, living in the vi
ciuity OF Smithfield. The woman had
received large sum of money for an oil
lease, and kept it in her house. The
robbers evidently knew this, and entered
her residence at midnight. She WAS bound
and gagged while the men searched for
the money. Not being successful they
proceeded to force her 10 tell where the
money was by torturing. They first tied
her up by the thumbs for few minutes,
but a. that did not bring the desired re-
suit they next beat her over the back
with switches and put lighted candles to
her bare feet The pain forced her TO
yield, and she told the robbers where
there was about $50. After taking il
they again bound and gagged her and
left The woman was compelled to lie
helpless until late tho next morning,
when she was released by a neighbor. A
large posse started out to search for the
robbers, but they have not been caught.
The terrible treatment to which Mrs.
Shreves was subjected has made her very
i'll and she is in a very precarious condi-
tion. She had more than $500 in gold
and greenbacks in the house which the
robbers did not find.
