1t seems certain employees in the
Carnegie manufacturing establishment
have suffered reduction in their wages
of from 20 to 80 per cent. The govern.
ment contracts on which these establish
ments have been working, do not seem
to have saved these workmen from the
cut. Nevertheless those who supply the
lumber with which the workmen build
their houses, and those who make the
glass for the windows; the woolens and
other goods the families wear and the
sugar used upon the table, and Mr..
Carnegie hi l self are all at Washington,
demanding protection through higher
rates of duty. This, however, is the
great step towards McKinleyism. 1t is
the same nonsense.

the complaint are sensational. Accord

Pious John Wanamaker, who goes to
church on Sunday and sends out agents
to buy up legislators during the week,
will not go to the United States Senate.
That prince of retormers, Matt Quay,
showed last night that he controls
Pennsylvania State politics, and landed
Boise Penrose high and dry, giving the
Philadelphia saint and the Business

nuckles. 1t made no difference to the
public who won, for there was Doodle

maker, the Sunday School superinten-
dent, is the greater sinner, not that he
is any worse than Penrose, but because
he got caught at it. The whole affair
was further evidence that real live saints
have no business in politics. Wonder if
Mr.. Mckinley wouldn't rather that he
hadn't written that letter to the "Busi-
ness Mems League" which was tacit
endorsement of Wanamaker. Quay is
too big for the Major in the Keystone
State.

ARCHIE M'GREGoK.

The venerable editor of the "Demo-
crat" fell on heicy pavement and broke
both of his wrists. The accident never
stopped for an instant the current Of
Jeffersonian blood, which flows through
the veins of this staunch old Scotch
Democrat.
When he begins again to push the
editorial plumbago he doubtless will be
less luguberous and pesimestic.
The pull of impressive gloom is on the
country and we cannot avert it. The
prophess of October have signally failed
to materialize. A high protective tariff,
fostered trusts and gold standard money
are as antipodal to free government as
heaven is to hell, and the people are
realizing it from forceful object lessons
In the meantime let us stop signing
and 90 to weaving silver threads through
the weary loom of life. In constantly
straining our eyes on the dark sad earth
beneath us, we miss the sunny skies
above us, and all that is bright in the
world about us. No happy life ever
came to man or a nation, only happy
days.
After awhile
The sorrows that pain us will melt in a smile,
And the horse that we bet on will win every
mile
After awhile.

BALTIMORE, Jan. GA committee of
the directors of the Central Ohio rail-

meeting with Receivers John X. Cowan
and Oscar g. Murray, of the Baltimore

Mr.. Cowan stated after the confer

by the receivers. The receivers of the
Baltimore and Ohio, under the orders
OF the court, take the gross receipts Of

These protective tariff fellows which
appear before the ways and means
committee in Washington, have no more
reason than other Cormorants. w. F.
Overburg, of New York, was before the
committee the other day, asking duty
of cents a pound on chlorate Of potash
which has been on the free list
for many years. 1t seems Mr. velburg
is a manufacturer of this chemical, en-
ploying some fifty men, but claims he
can not compete with foreign manu-
facturers. His examination before the
committee was concluded by this sententi-
GUS remark by Congressman McMillin:
"Then you are asking us to tax the
whole people of the United States more
than 80 per cent on an article of very
wide use in order to accommodate an in
dustry which employees just fifty oper-
atlves." There was brief pause and
the witness was dismissed.
The autocratc coal trust is also de-
manding protection. For long years this
article has been on the free list, but this
coal is mined in Peru and sold in the
S n Francisco market. 1t is now claim
ed that anthracite must be protected and
The Peru coal kept out. Should this be
done California people would pay more
for their coal, and the anthracite coal
trust would raise the price throughout
the country. The Peru mines should be

A PURITAN THANKSGIVING.
The Model Bill OF Fare For Their Annual
Feast.

The MODEL Blli OF rare Eor The1r Annual
Feast.
We have no record of Just how the
Puritans' Thanksgiving tables were set,
but from contemporaneou pictures we
can judge that there were few, if any,
forks, each guest being supplied with
ate from pewter platters, and the table
was in most cases literally board
placed on wooden horses. They had few
chairs or tables, but were plentifully
supplied with chests containing their
linen and wardrobes, and these served
in the place Of chairs. In later colonial
times chairs and tables became more
plentiful and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on account of the dangerous, sharp, steel
points of the two pronged forks. The
table and dishes were arranged as fol-
lows:
