THE REV. sHELDoN,s CRITICS.

The Rev. Mr.. S%heldon's effort to
run" the Topeka Capital newspaper
"as Christ would run IT. has made him
few friends and caused an avalanche
of ridicule and criticism to be heap
ed upon his head. His brother min
listers in Chicago are the latest to
harshly criticise his effort.
obviously Mr.. Sheldon's attempt to
make what he calls a Christian news
paper has resulted in failure. AS a
religious journal his paper is a sue
cess but as a newspaper it is sadly
lacking, and after the curiosity and
novelty of the thing wore off the rev.
erend editor would not make expenses
at it.
Still, all of this is Mr.. Sheldon's bus
mess and it is not apparent wherein
he has deserved the harsh criticism
that some of his brother ministers of
the gospel are applying to him. I'm
practical as his ideas are from a news
paper standpoint, he is evidently sin
cere in his mistaken effort to reform
the press and he certainly has the cour-
age of his convictions.

THE CARNEGIE-FRICK BATTLE
POSTPONED.

If Mr.. Mckinley believes he has
made a good political stroke by pre-
vailing On the Pennsylvania iron
kings, Carnegie and Prick to postpone
their battle in the courts until after
the Presidential campaign, he fails to
exhibit his usual political shrewdness
and is certainly sadly mistaken if he
thinks the general public will be trick
ed by any such vancouver.
The people from the Atlantic to the
Pacific have read the statements Of
Carnegie and Frick and few are not al
ready aware of the enormous, exor-
bitant profits of tens of millions gain
ed by this highly protected" infant
industry annually. Mr.. McKinley's in
reference to prevent further publicity
till after the Presidential campaign is
nothing more nor less than a fiat and
unequiyocal confession that the Pres
ident is afraid of the effect of the reve-
lations of the Carnegie-Frick suit on
the chances of the high tariff party
this year. 1t is scarcely possible to
| put any other construction on it.
But all this information is already in
the possession of the people through
the statements to the court Of both
Messrs. Carnegie and Prick. If Mr..
Mckinley lays the fiattering JUNCTION
to his soul that the people will forget
these facts if the suit is not agitated
further until after the election, he is
mistaken.
1t is too good campaign material and
the trust-tariff prophet has added
much to it's value by confessing that
he is afraid of it.

indicating that railway construction in the
United States still continues TO be the fore
runner Of settlement and industrial devel-
opment."
That was three years ago. To-day
1.-THE Railway Age that near
,ly 5000 miles of new railway We're
projected for 1900, to be distributed as
follows:
New England States, AT miles: Middle
States, 2.240: South Atlantic States. s.752;
Gulf and Mississippi Valley States. 6,7ss;
Central Northern States, 5.623; Northwest
; ern States, 6,197: Southwestern States, 81
207; Pacific States, 6,377; total. 5s,S41."
These statements would seem to
show a railroad boom in progress equal
to that of twenty years ago and it is
interesting to know that most of it is
to be in the Southern States. All of
which is testimony to the great devel-
opment of the industrial South, in
which West Virginia is a large partici-
pant.

reports are not given out to the public

Ex-coNsUL MAcRUMs CASE.

When one man, no matter how right
he is, attempts to "buck" against the
United States government he is up
against a big proposition, especially if
the administration at Washington is
inimical to him. Thus it has been
with ex-Consul to Pretoria Macrum, of
East Liverpool, o., in his effort to do
what he thought his duty as represen-
tative of the United States at Pretoria,
for, 10! his ideas on the subject did
not gee with those of Secretary Hay,
who has the understanding, the alli-
Ance, if you please" with the London
foreign office of which Mr.. Chamber
lain spoke not long ago.
But Mr.. Macrum is not altogether
without friends-staunch ones at that.
-Qf-tAa1Ay e. G. Woodford, an Ameri-
can mining engineer who has spent
twenty-five Years in South Africa,
comes all the way from South Africa
to bear out Mr.. Macrum's statements
of the action of the British government
in opening the official mail of the Unit
ed States government. He is quoted
as saying: "Macrum is a gentleman,
and a man of brains. His coming
home from Pretoria was a necessity
of the faithful performance of his du-
ty, and l will cheerfully give testi-
mony to prove the truth of what he
has stated.
Il know the official mail addressed
to Macrum was opened by the British
censors, because | saw the letters in
The consulate at Pretoria, with the
censor's sticker announcing that they
had been examined.
"The news that the State depart
mont had refused to recognize Ma
crum, and had treated him in cavalier
fashion, stunned me. l could not be-
lieve it when | first heard it abroad,
and denied it on general principles"
There are lots of patriotic American
citizens like Mr.. Woodford who would
like to be able to deny the administra-
> tion's attitude in this South African
business.

Irish wit is proverbial and everlast-
ing, even if Irish craftsmanship is
lacking. Rudyard Kipling's poem on
the Wearing of the Green was not a
day old until an Irishman in New York
took up the gauntlet and wrote the fol-
lowing answer to the imperialist poets
poetic taffy for Ireland:
Oh, Paddy, dear. and did you hear
The news that's going round?
The queen permits the shamrock now
To grow on Irish ground;
But when this cruel war is DER"
They'll wink the Other eye,
And you'll read the cd. familiar sign:
NO Irish need apply"

Charles Vanhorn to be Moved.
Unless His Car Goes Also.

BUCKHANNON, W. Va, March 10.
Charles Vanhorn, a railway postal
clerk, broke out with an eruptive dis
ease while on his car at the station
here, AMI the car was ordered side
tracked by railroad officials and quar-
antined by the city. Vanhorn is a
resident of Harrison county, and it
was proposed to send him home on his
car. : The railroad refused to carry
him.
To-day Supt. A. M. Lane, of the
West Virginia & Pittsburg division,
accompanied by two or three physi-
clans, several lawyers and railroad at
taches came over to remove the man
and take the car.
DR.. Farnsworth refused to permit
the car to leave unless it carried Van
horn. This the railroad officials did
not want to do, but Buckhannon re-
fused to receive Vanhorn, and the re-
suit is that the car and occupant are
still in quarantine at the station.
Vanhorn was travelling on a health
certificate signed by DR.. D. P. Morgan,
of the Harrison county board of
health, saying he had not been expos
ed to smallpox and was a safe man,
and on that certificate he had been
permitted to pass through the county.
