"REAPING THE WHIRLWIND."
Jeannine Young, the BARONESS Won
~Turkheim,' Deserted i'm OndOn

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-Jeannine
Young. the Baroness Won Turkheim," is
now reaping the whirlwind. A cablegram
from her received yesterday in this city
stated that she has at last awakened to the
fact that she is the victim of a conspiracy,
and that she is anxious to return to this
city. She states that she is at the Hotel
Cecil, in London, and that Won Arnold.
alias Turkheim, intends TO desert her. She
asks her friends to send her sufficient
money TO return here. as she is without
Villainy of Turkheim is shown by the sug-
gestion that steps be taken to effect the eX-
tradition of her husband and compel his
return to this State, where he committed
the crimes of bigamy and perjury, to say
nothing of the conspiracy in which he was
the leading actor, The deceived and de-
serted woman sent three cablegrams to San
Francisco, all of the same tenor.
The London correspondent of the Assoc
ciated Press interviewed the Baroness
there to-day. He found her in a state OF
great mental agony. In the course Of the
interview she said: Owing to my knowl-
edge of important facts bearing on the
interest of certain persons, to remove me
from the scene of action. To bring this
about l was induced or instigated to marry

The Thorntown postmastership.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
have always believed that the Journal
aimed to speak the truth and to deal fairly
with all men, and, therefore, conclude that
your Washington correspondent has been
misled by some one who wished to score a
point in the interest of some one else. The
statement alluded to appeared in your issue
of May 6. and is as follows:
IL. p. Buckles has sent an application
TO the PoStoftice Department as postmaster
of Thorntown, Ind. He claims to have been
voted for at a primary election, receiving
a large number of the votes cast, and says
that he learns that Representative Lands
is going to another man. First
Assistant Postmaster General Heath has
notified Mr.. Buckles that his proper course
will be to file his application with Mr.. Ian
dis"
Briefly stated, the facts are as follows:
After it had been widely advertised, on
Dec. u. 1896, a lawful, orderdly, good-na-
tured election was held in this place to Sc
lect a candidate for nomination as post
master. Many methods were resorted to
to keep the people away. but a little over
three-tifths of all the Republican voters
who are patrons of the office were present
and voted. There were twelve candidates
in the field. On the decisive ballot 1 re-
ceived a handsome majority. Within a few
days after the election enough more, who
were entitled 10 vote, but We're not present
at the election. Joined in an earnest petition
that the wish of the majority as expressed
at the polls should be carried out. to raise
the number to rs per cent. of all those who
were entitled to express a wish in the mat
ter. Every paper in connection with the
election, the petitions above referred to,
the petition of every candidate who was
defeated at the election, the petition of the
majority of the local Republican committee
who managed the last campaign, and the
petition OF all the officers and members Of
the town board. together with many other

the proper department, to be examined at
the proper time, There was not a word Of
protest from the department against the

Lands. Furthermore, there has never been
a single line of communication between Mr..
Heath and myself touching any matter.

AN INSTANCE OF EMOTIONALIsM.

The remarks of Bishop Potter, of New
York, based upon the assumption that la
bor-saving machinery is ruinous to labor,
and that the returns of labor are less and
less and the increment Of wealth is greater
and greater as the years pass, are not sus-
tanned by the plainest sort of facts. The
wages in the larger countries have gradu-
ally advanced in the course of fifty years.
The census of the United States shows that
the average compensation of labor in 1850
was $335 per capita. while in 1890 it was
$4S4. In no industry has machinery been 50
generally introduced to save labor as in the
making of shoes; yet the census shows that
$780, 900 people were employed in this indus
try in New England in 1860 to SS5, 900 in 1890,
while the average wages per capita have
risen from $246 to 1859. In the meantime
the industry has spread beyond New Eng.
land. In France the changes which the in
dustrial reports show are somewhat less
marked than in the United States, but the
wages of workers have increased, since
1860, 81 per cent. in Paris and IS per cent.
in the country, while those of carpenters
have increased IS per cent. in Paris
and 50 per cent. in the country. These facts
show that wage earners are getting a larger
part of the results of production than in
1850.
The decreased or increased productiveness
of wealth is most accurately measured by
the prevailing rate of interest. Judged by
his standard, wealth has lost a large part
of it's productiveness in recent years. In
all classes of national securities there has
been a decided reduction in the rate of in
terest. Those of the first class have drop
ped from ! to 21a or 8 per cent. Even the
bonds of the semi-bankrupt nation of Tur-
key, which yielded 10 per cent. in 1S60-65,
have been negotiated in recent years at
to 51s per cent. In spite of the large eX-
pansion of the public debt of France,
French rentes, which commanded as high
as 5 per cent. in 1861, are now quoted at
2.92 per cent. In railroad securities. there
has been a decline equal to AZ per cent, and
in industrial securities equal to 80 per cent.
The rates of discount on first-class CONNER
cial paper have fallen more than 80 per
cent. in the commercial centers. The only
consoling feature in the rapid expansion of
municipal Indebtedness in recent years is
to be found in the fact that the rate of in
terest on municipal securities is 80 per cent.
less than it was in 1870.
These facts are ncontrovertible and show
hat accumulated wealth is much less pro-
ductive now than it was fifty years ago
so much so that it requires about twice as
much money to earn the same interest,
when invested in reliable securities, as it
did in 1860. ON the other hand, the worlds
general wages have increased while COM
modities have fallen. Excellent but emo
tional gentlemen may be ignorant of such
facts. but that is no excuse when they set
ND as teachers.

AN INDISPENSABLE SCHEDULE.

The general comment of the press of the
country is decidedly hostile to the sugar
schedule of the Senate finance committee.
Some papers would be hostile to any sched-
ule made by Republicans, and for that rea-
son assailed the sugar schedule in the Ding
ley bill, for which there was no excuse.
The objection to the Senate bill is that
it gives the sugar-refining trust an advan-
tage which it has not in the present law.
An analysis of the bill of the Senate COM
mittee shows that the objection has a
sound basis because it gives the Sugar
Trust an advantage of a duty which it
should not have.
OF all the combinations to control trade,
the Sugar Trust has been the most arbi-
trary and offensive. Not only can it make
the price of refined sugars, but such is its
monopoly that it can affect the price of
raw sugars. To strengthen its grasp upon
the trade, it has compelled all the jobbers
of the country to accept its sugars at it's
own price. More than that, the jobber and
retailer are under contract to sell sugars
rat the prices which the trust makes. There
is not a jobber in the country who will
deny these statements. During February
it appeared by testimony given in a New
York investigation that jobbers in groceries
cause they had angered the sugar kings by
purchasing stocks Oh two or three occasions
of dealers importing small quantities of
refined sugars.
The Sugar Trust and the Standard Oil
Trust are the only ones which come near
the people. 1t may and can be said that
these monopolies have furnished high-grade
goods at reasonable prices. 1t cannot be
said, however, that they have sold their
goods at a lower price. than they could
have been sold under free competition. 1t
is known that the Sugar Trust makes ex-
cessive dividends on its stock. President
Havemeyer recently testified that the profit
of refining is from Is to 20 per cent. Such
profits upon a watered stock are exorbi-
tant when it is known that they come from
the pockets of the people.
The sugar schedule of the Dingley bill
which the House has passed is designed to
break the monopoly of the Sugar Trust, but
the Senate committees bill, whether de-
signed to do so or not, will give the trust
a great advantage should it become law.
For that reason the country is bitterly OPP
posed to the Senate sugar schedule, and
if the Senate will heed the voice of the
people that schedule will not be embraced
in the new tariff. The Senate should I'M
derstand this and waste no time in con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of passing a sched-
ule which will incense the people and cause
the ISLANDERS of the last tariff revision to be
repeated.

Two members of the DR.. jameson South
African reform party are still in Eng
land. confined in what the papers of that
country cali ''gaoI." They live in a sep
arate house in the prison square at some
distance from the other buildings, and have
plenty of light and air, They nave their
own beds, tables, easy chairs. etc. and
have their meals sent i'll from the club.
They are not allowed liquor, but may
smoke. In order to quiet public anxiety
concerning their treatment they were called
upon by a prison inspector who asked them
to name their grievances, if any. They
drew up a list, the most important of which
was that the game of cricket was not per-
mitted to be played on the prison grounds.
1t is to be presumed that the public anX-
iety was quoted by this report. The prison
ers seem to be enjoying every luxury of
goal life, or all but one.

II RAILWAY VS.. THE CANAL.

A prominent civil engineer has an article
in the North American Review for May en-
titled Cheap Transportation in the United
States" which contains some interesting
and propositions. At the outset
he attacks the very general assumption
that the ship canal. which has so many
advocates as a means Of cheap transpor-
tation between the West and the East,
would meet all requirements, and shows it
TO be a fallacy. He cites the two latest
enterprises in such canals, the Manchester.

instances of the total failure of such
methods because of their enormous cost

DingIey Bill VIII Put an Extra Duty
on Phenacetine.

Buffalo Courier.
THE Dingley bill will increase the ex-
penses for watching the American onuer
particularly the Niagara frontier, said a
government official, "as there will be more
smuggling, or attempts at smuggling, When
the high-tariff fence is put up. The prlncl-
border in this vicinity is phenacetine. which
may be bought for 90 cents an ounce IN
Canada and costs 80 cents to 81 an ounce
in Buffalo. Opium is not in it with phe-
nacetine."
Undoubtedly" said Pharmacist William
c. Dambach. there is, and will be, a
strong incentive to smuggle phenacet1ne so
long as the drug retails for 81 an ounce
and may be bought across the border Tor
80 cents an ounce. 1t is very largely used,
and is principally imported from Germany.
Formerly one New York firm had almost
a monopoly in this country of the ~pnenace-
tine trade, but the monopoly has been brok-
en-. A few days ago a drug agent offered
me a good quantity of phenacetine at a
very cheap rate, so low, in fact, as 10

but it bore the government otticiaIs seal

Turkish and Greek villages.

q. w. Stevens, in London Mail.
Certainly the Greek village was clean,
well looking and prosperous. Irode through
a Turkish village the other day-at an rate,
it was partly TurkiSh-and l nave not got
the stencil of it out of my throat yet. 1t
was a tumble of huts, partly unmortared
stone. partly mud bricks dried In the sun
and washed by the rain into mud again.
The tiles of the country are half cylinders;
they lay one course concaVe side up, the
next convex side up. This makes a pretty
roof. and an effective. till the wind blows;
theh. as the tlleS d[e n4l IasteHeu ~ @nS
way to the ratters, they begin to crack ana
carry aWav.
The dirty little houses had dirty little
courts before them, incioSed in high stone
or mud walls. Here and there s~quatted a
soldier: here and there a beggar; here and
there a black blot which, on a nearer view,
became a Turkish woman in domino. The
road that ran through this village was a
simple sewer: the horses SplaShed along it
hook deep in filth. In the middle of it dogs
were gnaWlng at a dead monkey, one half
bones and the other half putrefaction.
Now and again we had to scramble over
heaps of dung as high as a man. And on
broWn-skinned, limpid-eyed girls, with pig
tails down their backs, and trousers doWA
to theft bare feet. They were fat and ruddy
enough. the children: but the stink OF that
village is not quite washed out yet.
The Greek village was very different. 1t
lies Snugly in a corner under bare nils; but
on what short grass there is live little
1ocks of sheep and goats, and a few cows.
On the two level sides it is deeply fringed
with mulberry orchards and vineyards the
mulberries are rushing out into leaf till all
the village is fragrant of young green. The
road to the village is broad and level, and
is blocked by only one bank and two or
three bitches in a couple of miles or so.
The streets in the village itself are many
of them but six feet wide, it is true, but
they are decently clean and decently paved.
MANY of the windows are blind, being
boarded up for want of glass; but the
houses are all stably built, the courtyards
are evenly paved; there are wells in the
court yards, mulberry trees again, and
the richeT houses aiste ilP~e even T'f succeed 9oH There re-
is a main street with cafes, Il wooden
bridge over a dry river bed, and seven
manent inhabitant who is not Greek.
And that is the only thing against it. But
for it's Greek inhabitants that village
would be q little paradise.
