There is a convenient arrangement in
many railway stations in Germany. Passen-
gers for suburban stations, instead of going
to the regular ticket Office and standing in
line for several minutes. sometimes so long
that they miss their train, can go to an
automatic box and by dropping a nickel in
the slot or a coin equivalent TO the amount
of the fare can supply themselves with q
ticket in an instant There are rows of these
boxes erected against the wall IN cOnVen-
lent locations The name of the town is
painted in large letters and underneath the
price Of the ticket. Platform tickets for the
convenience of those who wish to accom-
pdny their friends to the train are issued
in the same way.
Turkey buzzards are the garbage collec-
tors of Charleston, S. c." says a travelling
man, quoted in the Philadelphia Record.
Now, if you know anything of the nature
of a turkey buzzard you must know that
ordinarily it's a very shy sort of creature,
and generally avoids civilization, particular
ly as represented in the large cities. These
BIRDS however, are tame, and they strut
about the heels of the people in the mar
kets picking up bits of refuse meat and veg
etables. The buzzard has voracious appe-
tite and there always seems to be room
inside of him for a choice bit of tainted
beef or decayed cabbage. There is a IS fine
for any man molesting one of these birds.
understand that Charleston is the only
city in the country that has this unique
system of garbage collecting"

protect American interests. irrespective OF
those of other countries. Under this opin-
ion the shipment of imported goods in bond
through Canada is still permitted without
paying the additional 10 per cent, and goods
imported from foreign countries. other than
British possessions, in British vessels, are
also free from the discriminating duties.
The effect of the opinion is to construe
good American law against American in
terests. 1t is hoped the next Congress will
recognize the fact that American shipping
is entitled to protection as well as other
American industries. and that it will enact
suc.. legislation as will give force and effect
to the principle of discriminating duties
against all foreign goods imported in for
eign vessels.

Now that the monetary commission APP
pointed by the executive committee of the
Indianapolis convention has met and or
ganized its high character is universally
recognized. Possibly there may be more
brains and business ability in Congress than
there are in this commission, but it would
be impossible to select eleven men out of
both branches of Congress superior in this
respect to the eleven men who compose the
commission. President Mckinley remarked
that he could not himself have chosen a
commission of higher character if the choice
had been delegated to him by Congress.
The report and recommendations of such
body of men ought to have great weight
before the country and with Congress.

General j. H. Wilson'S address before the
Society Of the Army of the Cumberland,
published in the Journal yesterday, has
doubtless been read with pleasure by thou
sands Of veterans who served under Gen.
Thomas. The address was mainly eulogy
of that great soldier and while there was
no attempt to obscure or detract from the
merits of others it is easy to see that Gen.
Wilson. himself great soldier and writer
of military history. regards Thomas as fully
the peer of any. That is the testimony Of
all who ever served under him.

center Of the pottery interest is Trenton,
N j.. where there are thirtyfour potteries,
employing at present about 1850 persons.
During the time chat the Wilson law was
in force they did not average one thousand
operatives. Five Of the largest potteries
failed, and all the others reduced forces
and wages. When the Dingley bin passed
men and women marched the streets, cheer

sides those at Trenton there are potteries at

which was literally wrecked by the Wilson
law, is now fully on it's feet again.

According to the report Of the Pittsburg
Dispatch the close of the Ohio silver camp
meeting was as dreary as the opening. A
policeman attached the chairs for special
service and the ticket seller was arrested
and sent to Jail for stealing the receipts
of the gate. The managers have a deficit
of $3.50 in the expenses. 1t now turns out
that the camp meeting was held without
the sanction and advice of the Democratic
state committee. Now that it was fall
IRE, Democrats in the party councils de-
clare that the meeting has destroyed all
the chances of the Democracy in Ohio this
fall. Even Sam Small declared the meeting
was not timely, because it was a repetition
of the same old story.

In the Seventh ward Mr.. Taggart's Board
of Works insisted on paving with asphalt
short and unimportant cross street because
one of his managers desired it, while every
other resident was opposed. They were OPP
posed because within two years they have
paid for the paving of the main streets at
great cost, and believed that little mercy
should be shown until portion of the
heavy burden shall be removed. All ex-
postulation was in vain, and the street is
being paved simply to please one OF Mr..
Taggart's favorites-the chairman of his
campaign committee.

Public attention is so absorbed by the big
scandals of the Taggart administration
that the smaller ones are apt to be over
looked. Among the latter and it is not
a small one, either, is the proceeding by
which Mayor Taggart and President Down
ing of the Board of Public Works, made
a scapegoat of Edward A. Austin and sac
rificed him to protect themselves. He was
pilloried before the public the wicked
partner who was getting the firm into
trouble, the Jonah who had to be thrown
overheard to save the Taggart ship, when
in reality Messrs. Taggart and Downing
were the guilty parties. Mr.. Austin's recent
statement discloses a characteristic piece
of double dealing by which the two crafty
schemers used him to further personal ends,
regardless of public interests, and then
threw him overheard. When the transac-
ton came to light which ended in Austin's
sacrifice the two schemers made quite a
pretense of virtue and a sham investiga-
ton was ordered, the object of which, as
is now apparent, was to shield them and
sacrifice Austin. No doubt the latter had
placed himself in position which disquali-
fed him from acting as a member of the
Board of Public Works, but his statement
shows that Col. Downing was chiefly in
strumental for his being in that position,
and that Taggart and Downing were both
tarred with the same stick.

The address issued by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is in excellent temper and
form. The expression of sympathy with or
ganzed labor, and especially with the strik-
ing miners, is strong, but not passionate,
while the advice to all trades unions not to
send delegates to the labor convention to be
held in Chicago next Monday is evidently
sincere. The trainers of the address think
the money that the convention will cost
would be better expended on families of
workingmen that need support and those
who are still striking for higher wages
The address proceeds:
1t is not by conventions, with irresponsi-
BILE talk, inflammatory declaration. and
revolutionary buncOmbe that the cause of
labor can be advanced. Violent ap-
peals to the passions of the multitude can
serve no good purpose 1t is only by
pie in trades unions, with united hearts
and united funds and a fraternity of pur-
pose which knows no bounds of creed, color
nationality or politics, that will uplift the
masses. Trades unions are not the promo
tiers of social disorder or the upholders
of riot or revolution. Our course is along
the lines of peace and historical, orderly
developments.
This is in admirable spirit, and very diff
ferent from the incendiary utterances of
Debs. Sovereign and some other labor lead
ers. AS long as organized labor operates
on the lines above indicated 1t viii command

But when this has been said the eff

question win be bad, since it is not in
harmony with our social system or
democratic institutions to bring any
portion of the people to a sense of de-
pendence upon the whim or pleasures
of the rich, as a means of subsistence,
assistance or support. No such spirit
of dependence is endangered by the
prosecution of great industrial enter
