BEACHCOMBkRs' wINDFALL.
Eatahles, Drinka bies and wearables,
All Because Of Merchant Vessel.
(From the Pittsburg Dispatch)


New York, Jan. 24.-This is cn the
underwriters. 1t is also on the beach at
Coney Island. Don't say word. The
beachcombers themselves are keeping
quiet, and there are high times back on
the flats It's an i'll wind that blows no
good. II it chances to be from the east
ward it has TO be an evil sort of a blow
to bring no good to Coney. That's what
the beachcombers say, and if you go down
TO Coney now you Will find all of them
gazing penSively seaward-that is, you
will if they are not back on the fiat
lands having high jinks.
Now, this may be all Greek to you. but
the beachcombers will understand. IL you
press them closely they will point off
toward the sunken Atlas liner Alvena and
wink the other eye. Ii you happen TO be
on intimate terms with beachcomber he
will take you back upon the flatIandS and
show you sights. Among them You will
see certain eases marked IS. s. AIvena-
Glass. Handle with care" IL the beach
comber is so disposed he will produce u
corkscrew, and then you will find out
why there are high jinks on the fIatlands.
Then; too, the ordinarily frugal boards
groan with deliCaCies. such as sardineS,
olives, jam. marmalade and the like
Most of them wear brand new under
clothes and stockings, and one good wife
is preparing to cut a new gown out OF
forty yards of cloth that floatcd in on
the flood.
This sudden prosperity all comes from
the fact that the British Queen tried to
walk through the Alvena in mid channel
If she hadn't cut such a tremendous cash
in the attempt there would be none of
this prosperity in COney; but inasmuch as
she walked into the inwardness of the
Alvena'S cargo it is only reasonable that
the same cargo should drift out to sea
and come back ON the tide to Coney.
That's what it's done, and it's no libel
to say that the beachCOInber is taking ad
vantage of the gifts that the gods have
sent.

A middle-aged man came TO be treated for
irritabIlity of temper. He said he could not
control it and his family could scarcely live
in the same house with him. When his

FEEDING THE HUNGRY

Pennsylvania farmers of the Reading
district are numerously visited by tramps,
and have for some years adopted a mode
OF treatment OF the evil which. to say the
least, is Christian and kindly. Very
many of them maintain regular tramp
bedrooms, which are pretty constantly
occupied by unbidden guests, who, never
theless, are welcomed to supper, lodging,
and breakfast, in return for Which they do
al hour or two OF work around the prem
ises. The farmers say that it comes
cheaper than the risk of having their barns
burned through tramp carelessnesS in
handling matches, or than the danger to
cattle which might follow their eating
hay in which consumptive wayfarers had
spent the night. The plan, which was
experimental q few years ago, has become
a fixed habit in the region named, and,
from all accounts, appears to work to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
On the whole, perhaps humanity and
charity are the best means OF punishment
for the unfortunate; possibly even for the
idle and shiftless. The Penns ylyania
experience would tend to make it look so.

Work as Well as Pray.


A wife in Camden has gone to the courts
to see if her husband cannot be made to
work He spends his time in the house with
Bible, praying for odd jobs, instead of
going out and hustiing, as good American
should. 1t is right enough to pray, but
man who does only that is apt to be
SO lazy that he will not reach for work
when it reaches him

Two Puzzling Difficulties.

Two things, says the Phila delphia Record
are mighty puZZling to the tariff makers at
Washington: t1 How to construct tariff
which shall suitably increase the revenue
and at the same time satisfy the trusts.
t2D How to prevent the importation Of
foreign stuffs on which duties shall have
been increased so as to anticipate and es-
cape payment. Any practicable solution OF
these difficulties would be most thank
fully received by Chairman Dingley.

Enacting the CuttIe.Fish Role,

(From the N Y. Journal.)
Evidently the mill bosses and their polit-
ical friends hope by shouting loud and long
enough to make the country forget that
Mckinley bill No. l was avowedly con-
structed to reduce the revenue and destroy
the surplus, which it did so effectuaily that
We have been bankrupt ever since, and
that the present tariff would provide abun-
dant revenue if Congress w ould use ordin-
airy economy instead of throwing money
away in millions.

"Why the Government Should Own
the Telegraph"

1T is rule Of experience empha-
sized particularly in the history Of
government railroads that business
can be better transacted and with
greater economy by private than by
public management; but this rule has
found marked exception, to which
public attention should be called, in
the telegraph business. Further, the
rule that leading commercial organl-
cations oppose the extension of pub
lie interference in industry also finds
an exception here Leading business
organic atoms in this country, almost
the only country Ia WHICH telegraph
business is owned and operated by
private corporations, are favorable to
government ownership Of this bust
uess. The reasons 10 apparent. All
governments control and operate the
postal system, aud the telegraph is so
intimately associated with the mail
that the control of both should be-
long 10 the same management. Since
1870 the English government has
owned aud operated the telegraph
lines of the two islsnds, the ruling
rate for messages being % cents for
20 words, including address and sig.
nature, with the result that the nun.
her of messages increased from less
than 10 million in 1870 to more thar
IS million in 1896, or an increase OF
Dearly 700 per cent in rs years -
While rates were reduced, the British
telegraph has made net profit in the
last ten years of . million dollars.
III the government Of the United
States should purchase the telegraph
lines of this country at an appraised
valuation, as it has the recognized
right to do by existing law, the re-
suits would be a reduction OF from %
to so per cent in charges to users, Q
large increase OF telegraph Offices
with small cost to the government,
being connected with postoffices al
ready established, an enormous in.
crease in the nsa and service OF the
telegraph and finally the wiping out
| Of the annual deficits in the postal
| department OF the government, the
only branch of the public service that
never has paid expenses and never
will 80 long as it is divorced from its
natural ally, the telegraph,
