The income or earning capacity of
Pullman car, as Victor Smith figures If
out, is considerable. Take, if YOU
please, the run from New York to Chi
cago, 1000 miles. Every road in the
United States pays cents a mile for
the privilege of hauling Pullman. and
contracts to return said car in as good
shape as it is received and to pay for
all damages. The journey on the lin
ated expresses to Chicago is made in
fwenty-four hours, therefore the car
earns $50 day for travel. If it is full,
which generally Is the case, the receipts
from berths, sections and staterooms
amount to $1S5, making a total revenue
of $215 day. Out of this must come
the wages of the porter and conductor
1.-THE latter however, usually having
charge of several cars--the towels,
sheets, soap, ice, ETC., the whole
amounting to but a small sum. Then
there are the wear and tear and gen
eral depreciation, the daily cleaning,
the annual refitting and repainting. Set
these charges down at 10 per cent. and
rive the car three trips week of 1000
miles each; we have its earnings at over
100000 annually. Some cars earn a
great deal more.

Lord Armstrong, the famous gum
maker, has just entered his ninetieth
year. 1t is now just forty years since
he was knighted for his discovery of the
Armstrong breech- loading gun. But as
the inventor of the modern system Of
hydraulics he deserves even greater
fame than his gun has given him. His
old age has been devoted to the publ
cation of abtruse scientific works and
to the restoration Of Bamburgh castle
where he now lives-to something of its
former glories.

You Paw the Cost.

a german named Siegel quietly
bought up a fine site at Camden, N.
j.. three years ago and erected COM
piete sugar refinery at cost of some
two millions. When he was ready to
start up the sugar trust made him
offer after offer and finally paid him
all he had expended and one million
on top of it, and the refinery has new
er turned q wheel. All that vast
amount of labor has been lost to So
ciety. But you will say, that the
building of the plant gave laboring
people that much wages. Yes, but
the wages is only the money the labor
ing men themselves furnish by hav-
ing to pay higher price for sugar.
So far as good to the world is con-
cerned their labor might have been
digging holes and filing theE up
again. All of us are paying this vast
outlay of the sugar trust in the price
of sugar. The poorest person in the
land is affected by such deals. Do
yon think such criminal mis- applica-
ton of labor would be done were the
public producing and refining the
sugar for itself? Do you see people
starting up postoffices just to levy
blackmail On Uncle Sam and getting
him to buy them out to prevent com.
petition. while he would have to raise
the price of postage to pay for such
'outleys? Does the public ever do
such things? It allows contractors
to steal hundreds of millions year,
but that is because contractors run
the government and have work to let
to contract that should all be done by
days labor. What anarchy IN indus
dustry, what insanity run mad.-Ap
peal to Reason.

is to abolish ali customs tariffs be-
tween the U. S. and Porto Rico and
give her products free access to our
markets" Several conferences have
been held, and Representatives Hill,
of Conn, and Lawrence, of Mass,
are threatening to lead a revolt in the
House against legislation IN line with
that recommendation, unless an ex-
ception is made in favor of their to-
bscco-raising constituents. It's the
old, old argument, "Give my pro-
ducts protection, but give us free
trade in the other fellows products"
/ Senator Chandler has aggravated
the matter by introducing bill pro-
viding that both Cuba and Porto
Rico shall have absolute free trade
with the U. S., which indicates his
belief that the free Cuba spoken of
80 prettily by Mr.. Mckinley is still
long ways off.
At caucus attended by the eight
independent Senators, as the popu-
lists and silver republicans are called,
it was decided to act with the demo
Gratis upon all party questions during
the present session of Congress, as in
the last Congress.
Senator Jones, of Ark, chairman
of the democratic Senate caucus, who
has been authorized by the caucus to
arrange the democratic representa-
ton on the Senate committees, says
he will enter a vigorous protest
against the carrying out of the repub-
lican program of decreasing demo-
cratic representation on the Senate
| committees, but as the carrying out
of that program Is necessary to give
the gold men control of the Senate
committee on Finance, and that con-
troll is necessary to get the gold
standard bill fsvorably reported to
the Senate, which will not counter
ance the House method of sending
the bill from the caucus to the calen-
dar, without the intervention of
committee, the protest Is likely to be
unavailing.
There are few, if any, better par
liamentRrians in the House than Req
I resentative Richardson, of Tenn, the
democratic leader in the House, and
even with the obnoxious Reed rules,
which have been adopted ''lock, stock
and barrel" by the republicans, in
force, he will doubtless find many OPP
portunities to give the slim republi-
can msjority trouble and at the same
time to show up for the benefit of the
country the weak spots in the Nc
KinleY Legislative program.

Once upon a time when the writer

young man came through broke. He

Jail up IN Doniphsn county for libel.
We cannot help believing that he Is

getting the worst of it.-Lawrence
World.
For daring to oppose the dictator
of Doniphan county in his paper, the
Wathena Star, Pool Grinstead is be-
ing bounded through the courts with
libel suits for the purpose Of driving
him out of the county. The district
Judge, Stewart, is q creature of Lee
lands making, and Grinstead will be
harassed with suits, court and other
expenses until he is broken up and
driven out of business By the way,
in a county where the boss has been
supreme for twenty-five yeers is it
not somewhat singular that the last
five eeanty treasuress, each serving
four years, all have been defaulters?
We hope Pool Grinstead will beat
the conspiracy and live to help to re-
deem his county from the to rorlsm
of the boss and his tools-Capital.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 8, 1899.
from our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 8, 1899.
Democrats and populists have
every reason to be pleased with the
outcome of the first week of Congress.
Mr.. Mckinley and the majority IN
both House and Senate have commit
ted the republican party irrevocably
to the perpet0ation of the single gold
standard, Mr.. Mckinley in his mes-
sage to Congress, the republican SEN
stors by the gold standard bill intro
duced by the chairman OF the Finance
Committee, and the republican Rep
resentatives by the action OF their
caucus in endorsing the gold standard
bill, prepared last summer under Mr..
McKinley's orders by committee of
which Speaker Henderson was chair
man, and ordering it raIlrosded
through the House. In addition, the
republican Representatives have gone
back on all their professions of re-
form and unanimously adopted the
old Reed gag rules, and the republi-
can Senators have decided upon the
grab policy of increasing their own
and reducing the democratic repre-
sentation on all the Senate Commit
tees. These things will all be under
stood by the people, and they will not
make republican votes. That's why
the democrats in Congress are pleased
with them; they enjoy seeing the le-
publicans helping along their own
defeat.
Mr. Roberts stirred up the admin
istrstion mensgerie, by saying that
Mormons, against whom tie charges
of living in polygamy had been
brought, had been named for Federal
positions in Utah by Mr.. Mckinley
and confirmed by the Senate. Gros-
venor. of Ohio, and Dslzell, of Pa,
sought to defend the administration
by denying the statement of Mr..
Roberts, but the denial could not
change facts. Senator Rawlins made
the same statement more than g week
ago, and proofs of its truthfulness
will doubtless be forced upon the ia
vestigating committees attention by
MIR. Roberts.
Knowing that he has absolute con-
troll of msjorIty in both branches of
Congress, Mr.. Mckinley must have
chuckled to himself when he wrote in
his message of the Philippines: "The
future government of the islands rests
with Congress-" So far as the present
Congress is concerned, Mr.. Mckinley
knows that it will pass no Legislation,
dealing with the Philippines. or any
thing else, that is not ordered by
him.

sage created CONSERVATION among the
Senators and representatives from
the tobacco growing New England
States, that saying, Our plain duty

"The farmer has no wages except
as wages are measured by the price
of his product, and when you place
it in the power of the trust to fix the
price of what the farmer sells, you
place 1t in the power of the trust to
lower the wages that the farmer re-
ceives for his work; and when you
place it in the power of the trust to
raise the price of what he buys, you
do the farmer double injury, be-

Concerning the Death of POpuIism.

Concerning the Death of PopuIism.
The Popullst party is dead agsin
already. Calvin Hood, the Imports
banker and would-bs governor, says
so. It must have had q good many
lives to begin with, because, accord
ing to the very best republicans in
this state, it has died two or three
times every year since it was organ
lied nine years ago. It is plain
enough to be seen why all the repub-
hcans and few so.called democrats
are continually bowling about the
death of populism and predicting
that the party organization is being
completely absorbed by the demo-
cratic party. It is done in the inter-
est OF the republicans. They know
full we'll that such a move would in
sure a republican majority IN this
state, because enough populists would
vote with some other party in prefer
ence to the democratic to do just that.
L is plain to be seen, We repeat,
why the republicans want the popu-
lists to disbsnd, and why their speak
ers and small fry lmitators are ex-
hausting their vocal organs in an at
tempt to create this false impression.
Major Hood told the truth when he
said: when the fight lies between
democrats and republicans in this
state the result is certain" This may
not always be true, but it Is true to-
day, and the democrat Who wants the
populIsts to give up their organiza-
ton is more republican than demo-
crat and probably hasn't voted any
thing bat the republican ticket for
years.
The time may ceme-probably will
come-when populists can better
serve their country and their primer
pies by transferring their allegiance
to a better, purer, more advanced
political organization, such as must
eventually grow out from the best
within itself. That time has not yet
arrived by twenty, thirty, perhaps
forty years. In the meantime every
good populist should be, and we be-
lieve is, willing to cooperate with
any organization making an honest
effort to bring about the reforms the
populists desire. We have great
hopes that the democracy will prove
to be such a party, and worthy of the
past and prospective confidence of it's
popullst allies, but its leaders should
not forget that populists remgnber
that only few brief years ego IL twas
WUrshipipg at the shrine Of Gfover
Cleveland. It deserves great honor
for repudiating Cleveland and his
policies and there is reason to believe
1t will now hold fast to the teachings
of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln
and Bryan. If the democracy does
continue in the straight path the
populists will stay by them and lend
hand occasionally getting over the
rough places, but let the democracy
again go chasing of into the under
brush of republican policies and it
goes alone.-CIay Center Dispatch.
