"COrpse" Fled 10 the " OOds,

Hazelton, Pa, May 31-After being
apparently dead for over II hours, Mrs.
George Robbins, of Oneida, causeda sur
prise among many of the residents of
that village by coming to life.
Mrs. Robbins had been ill for a few
weeks, and yesterday morning the at
tending physician gave up all hopes of
her recovery, and 1t was but few mo-
ments afterward that she fell into a
stupor, after which she was pronounced
dead. An undertaken was summoned
and the supposed corpse was prepared
for the coffin,
For over II hours she lay in this state,
and when all was in readiness for hold
ing wake last night Mrs. Robbins
opened her eyes and stared at those who
surrounded her, after which she made
her escape to the woods.
Those who wert present went in pur-
SUIT, and 1t was with much difficulty
that she was found and brought back to
her home. She is now again confined
to her bed, and it is believed that she
will ..entire'y recover. although she is
very weak from fhe effects of her strange
experience.

Sudden Duel.

Sweet Home, Tex, May 3O.-While
the residents of this neighborhood were
assembled at Salem Church, few miles
from here, yesterday, observing Decora-
ton Day, young Will Lewis and Wit
Bosworth, between whom bad blood had
long existed, walked away from the
crowd and stopped as if to talk their af-
1alr over calmly. One turned as if to
leave, when the other drew a revolver.
Both fired at about the same instant and
they continued firing until their revolv-
ers were empty. Both were dead when
their friends got to them.
Every bullet fired by each man took
effect. Lewis was shot three times
through the body and once through the
arm. Bosworth was hit twice in the
head, twice in the body and once in the
leg.

Swapping Free Hides For DutiabIe Sugar.
1.-The senate tariff bill as Il whole, "
says ex Congressman John De Witt
Warner, lis Il notice to eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as sort of providential ar
rangement by which they We're enabled
to feed ON the rest of the country. Now,
like POlonius in Hamlet, they are in
vited by "a certain cOnvOcation of polite
worms to a supper not where they eat,
but where they are eiten.' The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit of 9th
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule.
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes III that sched-
ule?''
q think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept so except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust of
the west Were the New England sena-
tors willing to risk offending the Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, hut the fact is that Bos
ton and Providence, i'll proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with Sugar trust influences than
is any other part of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the
fate of their boot and shoe manufac-
turers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the Sugar trust
interests to help them"

WHILE they have Just commenced
harvesting wheat in California and Tex
as, and have only finished planting in
the northwestern states and Manitoba,
speculatiOns on the prices and crops for
the year are in full blast The crop ex-
Perts predict that the crop of 1897 will
sell for somewhere between SO and 75
cents in New York. The situation in
brief, as at present discernible, is that
the French and English crops of wheat
Will amount to comparatively little in
affecting prices, while Australia, India
and Argentina will not have wheat .fo-
export. American wheat therefore will
come In competition only with wheat
from Russia and the Danubian pro-
vinces.The reserves of wheat all over the
world have been reduced to the mini
mum. But there is no telling what
may happen the growing crops in the
great wheat producing sections of this
continent Speculations as to prices
and crops are interesting but not reIia-

A LARGE number of well meaning per
sons cannot be induced to believe labor
saving machinery Is anything but a
curse to the country, Notwithstanding
census reports and the evidence of their
own senses. Their contention is that
such machinery deprives men of work
and lessons their wages.
Under authority of law enacted bv
congress the United States department
of labor, few years ago, prepared a re-
port showing the effect of the employ
ment of machinery, which report sus-
tanned every contention in favor of ma
ChlneTy- 1t was shown that increased
production and decreased cost did not de-
bar employment of labor nor curtaiI its
wages, but the exact opposite. For in
stance, IN the carpenter business. there
were employed in 1880 53,547 men at
an average annual wage of S459 each.
while IN 1880 there were employed 40. =
o2l carpenters who earned S675 In the
making of furniture there were EMPLOYED
IN looO 90, 46i persons at 1853 per an
mum; in 1890 there were employed in
the business %, sol persons at 1927.
And this in spite of, or rather as re-
suit of, the use of labor saving machin-
cry, for the machine worker earns more
than the hand worker.
The latest census report of manufac-
lures shows: Number of establish
ments reporting-lSSO. 253, $50; 1890.
800, 4Ol. Average number of employ
es-1SS0, 2,632. .595; 1890, 4,71I.S32
Total wages-1SSO, s947, 953. 795; 1890.
81, 2o2, ,S23, 265. So long as census re-
ports and Official Investigations contnue
10 show such improvement in labor the
public can view labor saving machinery
with the serenest confidence.

NOBODY in Pennsylvania wants to be
taxed any more than at present, in con-
sequence Of which the fnancIers of the
Legislature are in sore straits. The
scheme to tax beer has been knocked
on the head; ditto the scheme to in
crease the tax on corporations; the
farmers agIee with the oleo men in op-
posing tax on their product; the plan
TO take money from the cities to repIen-
Ish the state treasury died at birth,
and so of all the schemes to increase the
states revenues.
There Is very simple way of solving
the revenue problem by pruning the ap-
propriations to fit the present revenues.
This plan doesn't seem to have occurred
to the Legislature yet, and until it does
the legislature is going to be in trouble.
The search for somebody willing TO
pay more taxes is likely to be about as
fruitless as the search for the North pole.

The following are some of the COM
ments of man well acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Diugley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
lnder the amended Dinlgey bill are
heavier than ever, although 1t has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
So per cent and yielded steady reve-
nue. TO the government The rates. now
proposed vary from 30 to lO9 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used III the homes of the poorer people
A cheap tableclOtG now selling at re-
tail at % cents per yard will have TO be
sold at 371a cents TO 40 cents II the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children's summer
blouses will be assessed 991@ per cent,
and the retail price will have TO go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is nee
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will in many cases substi-
tute something cheaper, and thus be de-
prived of this useful fabric, and the reve-
nue. will be cOrrespOndingly diminished
1t Is said that linen goods can be made
here, but this has been tried again ana
again, and except in the case OF IA few
low crashes has been failure, owing to
the climate and other difficulties, but
even if they could be made here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost of weaving linen goods IN
Europe is about II to 10 per cent the
selling price of the article here, and III
America the cost should not be at the
verv outside more than double this per
centage, so that, even II Republican
theories be true, protection OF 80 per
cent should be ample to allow for high
er wages and extra profits for our man
ufaCturers.
1t is possible speculatOrs may start
mills ON the strength of these excessive
rates, sell the stock, and then step out,
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer 20 face the difficulties OF
the situation as best they can. The Ia
borer probably, having been brought
here from Europe (for labor is on the
free list), with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be left to Join the army OF
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these exOrbitantly high rates be
assessed on an article more or less IL
use in every household in the land. and
the cost of living so much increased IL
these days of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain peo,
pie be taxed to put more money in the
pockets of the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want to make expert
ments, let them do so at their own cost,
net tax the poor for that purpose.

We are assured by The Sugar Trade
Journal of May 13-organ of the Sugar
trust-that ''if ever a monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed. This Is delight
full news. The Journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bill to have
refined sugars pay the same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the manufac
ture is controlled by monopoly. If this
visionary proposal" should pass the
senate, it would jeOpardiZe the tariff
bill and the Sugar trusts tens of
millions of surplus profits, which are so
near at hand that the mouths Of Have
meyer and Searles are watering for them.
The Sugar trust trembles at the prospect
and tries to keep up its courage by hay
ing its organ inform the world that "A
lot of such visionary proposals will, no
doubt, be introduced while the bill is
under discussion, but in the end the
sound Judgment men will control and a
tariff bill be passed without very much
change from the senate schedule. -
The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
for it can predict what will happen to
the sugar schedule of the senate bill. 1t
knows what demands will be made by
its agents and tools in the senate, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands 20 enforce them 1t puts
SO, 600, 900 against the interests of TO-
600, 900 people. and 1t knows from ex-
perience which has most weight in the
senate, where two or three hold the bal
ance of power.
No, there is no sugar trust and never
was one.
when the devil was sick, the devil a
saint would be. -
