Seventy-6ye thousand men and
women have been made idle by the
failure Of the government to pro
vide revenue stamps for the cigar
cite output IN accordance with the
Dingley bill. This is not the way
for the administration to help the
prosperity wagon out of the mire.
A million spindles idle IN Fall
River and a general suspension of
the mills IN Rhode Island VIII cut
off nearly fifty per cent of the
production of cotton goods. This
should give the manufactures a
chance to catch up and stiffen
prices in the fall. It's rough on
the working people: however.
The Dingley bill does lower
some duties. The duty on dia-
monds, for example, has been
lowered from % per cent. under
the Wilson law, to 10 per cent.
under the DINGHY bill. This is in
the interest of the working man,
who can now get his solitaires that
much cheaper
No patriotic citizen will regret
or bewail the return of prosperity,
but at the same time the public will
demand some substantial evidence

Can,t Fool the Farmer.

We notice that the Republican
papers are making great efforts to
convince the farmers that the
seventy-f1ve cents he is offered for
his wheat is magnificent price,
and that he ought to be grateful to
that party which has made it pos
sible for him to get that sum in
gold dollars. We rather think the
average farmer will not be inclined
to look at it in that way. He
doesn't forget that when silver and
gold were the money of the coun-
try good price for his wheat was
from one dollar to one and guar
ter per bushel, and more than that
the dollar he got then would go
just as far towards settling the in
terest on a mortgage or in paying
taxes as what he gets now, and he
had a good many more of them.
Under a gold standard seventy-fye
cents is big price for wheat-un-
der gold and silver it was a very
low one. Can our farmers see the
differenceP IF they can't, they
will appreciate the matter when
the Sheriff comes around this fall.

Ohio and Greater New York in

mean that the Mckinley admins

DON'T WANT Moody.

Certain ministers of New YORK are
having very bad spells over the PROPOSE
ton of Evangelist Moody to hold a SER
les of summer revival meetings 10 Car
negie Hall. The Gotham preachers, it
appears. do not approve Mr.. Moodys
methods and object to entering into
competition with him. Rev. DR.. Mac
Arthur. pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church, which is very near to Carnegie
Hall. has been very emphatic in nis de-
nunciation of the Moody movement
which he saws will seriously interfere
with the work Of seventeen churches IL
the vicinage Moody's last meeting. the
Doctor says. broke up two OF his B'Dle
classes. almost depleted the choir at
tracted ushers from the church and SER
iously interfered with attendance at his
services. DR.. Macarthur further &c
clares that Moody does little, if any, per-
manent good, while, so far as hiS churcn
is concerned. the former meetings have
resulted in a permanent disintcsrarion
of his congregation. He says that many
of the converts" are church members
who for various reasons ideutiiy them
selves with the Moody movement.
This criticism Of Moody Will he at
tributed by some persons to jealousy,
and. if the evangelist were So disposed,
he might indulge in criticisms of the
methods of some of his critics-Dr. Mac
Arthur, for example, who last fall made
stump speeches from his pulpit and
violently abused Democrats. The tact
remains. however. that there is a grow
ing sentiment among religious people
that the emotional methods of Moody
are not helpful to the cause of real re-
ligion.

REPAIR THE ERROR.

tits pity the business men of Wheel
ing did not display more of a spirit OF
enterprise, not to say ordinary business
sense, on the occasion Of the visit OF the
B. & o. officials to this city the other
day. The officials came to Wheeling,
as they had visited other points along
the road. to inspect the company's
property and ascertain the need for i'm
provement. if any existed. A splendid
opportunity was offered to present
forcibly the very pressing need OF this
community for better facilities IN this
road in the way Of station accommoda-
tions. such as are to be built at Clarks-
burg. Connellsville and elsewhere. The
company has the money to do it and sent
these visiting officials here on this very
business. Yet they came, there was no
one to welcome them, no one TO show
them about and press upon them the
desires Of the business community, and
they went away, possibly under the I'M
nression that Wheeling was slow sort
of place and probably did not care
whether it received any railroad i'm
provements or not.
1t was a sad case of neglect on the
part of the Chamber Of Commerce and
ii should make haste TO retrieve the
serious blunder before it is too late.
Let a committee be named to so to the
B. & o. company's headquarters at
once and state the exceedingly press
ing need of new station and other i'm
provements in this city. There is
scarcely backwoods village along the
line that is not better provided in the
matter of station accommodations than
this. the chief city in the State, now is.
The business men should get together
and strike while the iron is hot, while
the company is planning such work OF
improvement along its line.

White Men, Greedy for the Wealth
That Natives Only Can Bring,
Commit Inhuman 0utrages.

London, May ia representative

interview with Rev. Sjoblom, of the
American Baptist Mission in the Upper
Congo. who has just returned to Lon
don. He said:
when I left in February, matters in
the Upper Congo were as bad as ever.
The commission which the King Of Bel
gians appointed to inquire into the
atrocities committed, the victims being
natives. has had almost no result. The
officials are indispOsed to act on mis-
sionary evidence, and only a few cases
of barbarity were punished. The in
iuuitous rubber traffic continues. When
the natives are unable to obtain rubber
the state troops burn the villages, MUIR
der the natives and cut off their hands
which are afterwards smoked and sent
to the state officials. Parts of the
Charlottesville district are in a state Of
open warfare"

the Rev. Mr.. Sjoblom will be made the
subject of a question in the House Of

it does so closely upon the heels Of the
great Atlanta Exposition. and is proof

visitors are made to feel at home at

STREET RAILWAYS IN EUROPE.

During a recent trip to Europe Mr..
p. F. Sullivan. general manager of the
Lowell and Suburban Street Railway
Company Of Lowell, Mass, collected a
large amount Of information which
plays havoc with the arguments in ia
vor of municipal ownership Of street
railroads He produces evidence to
show: First-That the rates of fare in
Europe are actually higher and not low
err than the rates of fare in the United
States. and when the earning capacity
of the people is considered, that they
are relatively higher still. Secondly
That the principle of charging dis
lance rates works injuriOusly against
the laboring and artisan class, the very
classes that street cars are chiefly in
tended for; that it has resulted in such
crowding. such density Of population as
TO cause the municipalities the greatest
concern: upon which they spend as
much II not more TO regulate than is re-
ceived from street railway franchises;
and that such a condition, with respect
to density Of population. Is not known
I'm the United States because of the su-
perior street railway facilities. Thirdly
That under the conditions which OBJ
tain in Europe with respect to high rates
OF fare. low rates Of wages and prices,
density Of population, low mileage and
therefore low capital invested. and ow-
ing to the protection which capital re-
ceiyes. street railway investments are
more desirable and are better than street
railway investments in the United
States.
Mr.. sullivan SAYS he paid 6 cents FOR a
ride in Glasgow and 10 cents for a ride
in Berlin, and in each case Travelled a
shorted distance than he could travel in
any city Of Massachusetts, by paying 8
cents. In no city in Europe. with the
exception Of Paris. are transfers used.
Considering the difference in wages of
the workingmen in the United States
and those in Europe. Mr.. Sullivan esti-
mates that the European gives twice
as much labor as an American for car
ride.
On account Of the graded fare and low
wages many workingmen in European
cities who would like to live in the sub
urbs are unable TO do So The fact
causes rents in the central districts of
cities TO be abnormally high. Density
Of population and length or lines should
always be considered in determining
rates Of fare. In Glasgow, where the
street railroads are owned and operated
by the city. the population per acre is
SIS The population per mile Of track
is 1897. SeveS representative Amer
lean cities have an average population
per mile OF track Of 2.127. while five rep
resentative European cities have 1908
persons per mile Of track. In regard to
capital invested municipal ownership
cities do not make q good showing.
