'i.9LD YOUR BREATH!
A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS NEXT FALL.
Says High Tariff Will Bring Prosperity.

New YORK, Feb. I.-Chauncey M. Depew
said, to-day:
1--WE shall have harder times until after the
extra session of congress has been held What
the country requires now is an extra session to
formulate business-like tariff measure. We
are confronted. by crisis at this time, and we
ought to look upon the situation as we would
look upon sudden outbreak of hostilites with
another power. That which we are called up
on 10 face is scarcely less grave than an actual
war"
Consequently, Mr.. Depew thinks war tariff
is demanded.
Congress, " he said, 'must not shirk its liza
blilies 1t must have the courage, and it
should find the means, to fight the danger that
threatens us as people.
'By next fall, if an extra session of congress
is held, and the members perform their duty,
there will be all unprecedented revival in all
branches of business "-Associated Press Dis
patch.
Now, let all the hungry, cold and homeless
Just hold their breath and patiently wait until
next fall, and if the extra session Of congress
''does its duty" (and you know congress always
does its duty, why, then the great wave of
prosperity will roll this way.

Railway Mail Fraud.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The World, in lengthy
article, claims that the railroads of the country
are defrauding and over-charging the govern
ment to the extent of $40, 900, 900 year. This,
that paper alleges, is going on while congress-
men and senators at Washington are endeavor-
ing to avoid deficit of IS, 1000, 900 per annum
in running the postofice department.
1t is claimed that the railroads receiving
over $32, 900, 900 per annum, when they are
only entitled to $22 ,ooo, 900. The World says
that railroad managers have stuffed the
mails with free postal matter during period of
20 days every four years, when the government
made its quadrennial re-weighing, and that for
the other At months of the term have drawn
vast sums from the treasury.
1t is alleged that the 'Seaboard Air Line was
caught redhanded at this, but nothing was
DONE and the general manager of the line, E.
McBee, admitting the practice, said: "There
is no legal or equitable reason why we should
withhold matter from the mails during the
weighing period, and then declared that his
line had been following the methods which
were common upon all other railroads.

a young lady in New Jersey kneads bread with
her gloves on. We need bread with our shoes

things continue at the present rate, we will

Farmers Institutes.

All over Western Pennsylvania the
farmers are holding meetings known az
Institutes. which are made the occasion
for visits from leading agricultural edu-
Gators of the State. The good these in
stitutes do is beyond estimate. The far
mer may think that he goes ahead in
life learning by experience. and that
such practical instruction cannot be i'm
proved upon. There he Is correct. But
he forgets that while experience Is the
basis of all advancement, his experience
Is limited to the opportunities that fall
to one mans lot. The other man who
comes TO tell him of different methods
has also had experience, and has con-
suited with still other men of expert
ence and in books read the experience
of others, until he brings the result of
the experience of many of those who
have profited most by their observation
and practical woIk.
Education of any sort is after all only
the accumulation of the experience of
those who have been digging in famil-
lar fields for generations. The man who
learns from the investigation of those
who have proceeded him Is able to be
gin where they left off and to push fur
ther ahead into the world Of discovery.
The farmer has relied TOO much on his
own efforts, and has overlooked the ben
efts to be gained from contact with
his fellows. That is what the insti-
tutes will try to overcome No class of
workers can profit more by investiga-
ito and exchange of opinion than the
farmer, for no other occupation deals
with such infinite possibilities as the
farmer. All nature is his laboratory
and ready to yield TO him whatsoever
he viii command if he goes about it
intelligently. The institute is deserv-
ing of the patronage of the farmer, for
it really gives him a valuable thing
without Pittsburg Times.
