A Brainless ASS.

In our January paper we publish
ed the remark of a prominent Bos-
ton gentleman that the man who
voluntarily rides or drives a horse
mutilated for life by docking proves
that he is a brainless and heartless
ass.
On this January 3Oth we receive
a letter from a California editor, in
which he says:
ALAMEDA, California.
1 protest on behalf Of the ass. It
mas been my fortune to become
more or less intimately acquainted
with various and sundry specimens
Of the genus asinus, and never have
1 seen one that did not possess more
brains than any Of these fool
humans who mutilate horses. No,
sir on behalf Of the ass I protest.
He is a gentleman and a scholar as
compared with the idiots who dock
horses tails. Yours for human
ity, G. F, WEEKS.

Hospitals for Consumptives.

Pennsylvania has three consump'
ton hospitals with u combined ca
pacity Of about one hundred and
twenty beds, and nearly one half OF
these beds are in wards of general
hospitals, supported by the Free
Hospital for poor Consumptives. An
effort hns been made during the
year to get u home for this hospital
which has been partially successful.
A tract of land containing 215 acres
has been purchased in the Blue
Mountains, near White Haven, and
it is hoped suitable buildings can
soon be erected.
There are in this state about six
thousand deaths annually from the
dread disease, which means that
there are at all times about ten
thousand people suffering from it.
The disease is contagious, hence the
great need to isolate and give proper
care and atten ton to those suffering
with tuberculosis. 1t is said that if
every consumptive in the land could
be removed into a hospital the dis
ease would die out in a few years.
There is, therefore, most urgent
need that funds be provided to erect
place where those afflicted may
receive care and treatment, and to
solicit such aid a report has been
sent out. The treasurer is Edward
a. Millar, 4O4 Walnut street, Phila-
delphia,

Mr.. G. M. Schwab, president of
the newly. founded steel trust,
known as the United States Steel
Company, was one of the most in
teresting witnesses yet heard by the
Industrial Commission. He was a
very frank and willing witness,
giving all that was asked except a
copy of the syndicate agreement,
which he said he thought was pri-
vate matter that he would not care
to furnish at this time. He said the
new COMPANY controlled about 7596
of the steel products of the country,
and expressed the opinion that the
consolidation under one head would
be beneficial all around. When
asked what effect it would have on
prices. he replied; II think the
tendency will be towards somewhat
lower prices. 1 do not think there
is a probability of higher prices un-
less something happens, " When
asked what, if any, effect the talk
of the removal of the tariff on steel
products would have on his CON-
pany. he replied; "Reduce the tar

element. Our greatest exports have
been in rails and billets, wherein
labor Is the least factor compare
t1vely, and not in the lines upon
which the most labor is exerted. -
When asked to siats what
effect corporate consolidation
would have on the chances Of men
for employment, he said "Oppor-
tunities were never SO great before

and energy who are willing to work
There was never so great a scarcity
