Whence does the 'scorchcr'' derive
his unhonored name? A recently pub
lished Platonic dialogue on bicycles
suggests a resemblance to the squir-
rel with its rapid motion and the
clutch of its forepaws-and the Greek
squirrel called himself "skiouros."
Hence "squiourchers" or "scorche.s."
You need not take this very ~se~iously.
for neither the average ~scorckcr nor
the policeman who tries to arrest him
is familiar with Greek, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Webster in the latest
supplement notices the word, bit
shirks the origin. To "scorch" is to
ride very rapidly, especially on a
bicycle" After all 1t is probably only
an extension of the common phrase
"the mace was hot"

NO MERCY FOR HILL.
President Will Not Relax in the
 Merger Case.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 Washington is still talking about the visit of James J. Hill, one of the chief promoters of the Northwestern railroad merger, and the breakfast at Senator Hanna's home which was coincident with 1t.
 Mir. Hill had exhausted every other re- source in his effort to secure 6 compro- mise from President Roosevelt before he appealed to Senator Hanna for aid. He had spent days in the marble room of the Senate consulting Senators from Northwestern States, on whom he urged the necessity of making the President understand that his course toward the financial interests of the country was threatening disastrous consequences.
 The Northwestern Senators did their best to help Mir. Hill They called at the White House singly and in parties and tried to convince the President that 1t would be better for the Republican party and his administration if he would aban- don the pending proceedings against MT. Hills securities company The President gave them no satisfaction further than to declare repeatedly that Mir Hill and his advisers knew the law when they ar ranged the proposed merger and that they should be prepared to accept the con sequences of the suit begun by the At torney General.
 MT. Hill also sent the Presioent oI the Northern Pacific Railroad. persona friend of President Roosevelt. to the White House. and through him endeavor- ed to secure promise that the suit in the United States District Court at St. Paul would not be pushed to final adju- dication Mir. Mellin's mission. like the previous visits of the Northwestern Sen ators. was unsuccessful, and MT. Hit was driven to the extremity Of applying to Senator Hanna and Postmaster Gen. eral Payne They aided him willingly.
 Senator Hanna Is in undoubted sympa- thy with Mir. Hill. He believes that the Presidents course Is i'll advised.
 It Is known definitely that during the discussion of the matter at the breakfast at Senator Hannas home the President declined to retreat from the aggressive position which he had assumed. He as- sured both the Ohio Senator and the Postmaster General that the suit began in St Paul would be pressed to final ad- judication and that MT, Hili and ms part. ners will have to bear the consequences if that adiudication is upfavorabie to their interests.

THE NEW rrcnonr.

One of the ',cunsclinkist'' thinea con- nected with the mlrcrobe question Is the claim of some scientist that there are and that they are at war with all the disease germs. and that but for them we should all die, or would all have been dead long ago.
 We are right down proud to know that we have something on our side to help us fight the microbes. for they were get- ting to be altogether too frequent. Really the time had apparently. arrived when it seemed as if there. was nothing left but to allow them to take charge of the whole human outfit and to work their own sweet wills without interference. We had reached the iamen- table conclusion that there was no escape from them and that all we could do was to sit down and take chances. All diseases, from toe-ache to swelled-head were set down as the work of microbes. and when a man complains of anything hurting him in any portion of his anato- my there has always been some one ready with a cause for it in the shape of microbe. and. as each disease has its own bug they were getting altogether too numerous and insinuating.
 But now that we are assured that there is really health microbe we begin to feel better, and have some hope of standing off the other fellow. What we want the ooctors to go at now is to go to worK to fit up microbe incubators or hatcheries for this kind so that there may be no danger of the supply running short. We want each doctor to keep on hand SUD- ply of health microbes. bottles and jugs full of them, and be prepared to vaccinate people with them right and left. Come to think of it, though, that might make material hole in the doctoring business, for if we can find health microbes which are mure powerful than those of disease, and can have them administered in sea- son. it stands to reason that no one need get sick, and then what would be- come of the doctors? That is a dis quieting reflection, but the medical men can amuse themselves cultivating health germs and biting them against the other kind. That would be good fun and would keep the doctors out of mischief A few Of them will always be needed, however, and they will get better fees, so that
 nothing will be lost in the long run. Up with the health microbe!

GERMANS FORM IRON TRUST.

Berlin Special to Baltimore sun.
 The German cast iron works ana toun dries are preparing to form g1ant cons bination which will embrace all the ieao. ing plants of the Empire.

 There will be no transfer of capital. ou! the main purpose will be to do away with competition. defend industry. against the "American invasion" and other rival or ganizations. and to increase exports
 The Reichstag Tariff Commission will in a few days take up the increase of the tariff on machinery, agricultural imple' m ants. tools and half finished industrial products, which will strike more closely at American trade than that of any other country Raw material interests are de- manding high protective tariff to stop the progress of United States steel. iron. copper, coal and ray imports, while man. ufacturers are again in favor of low tariff so as to admit cheap American material.
 American tools and agricultural imple- ments have revolutionized farming and factory methods in Germany and any att tempt of agrarians to exclude them will meet with bitter resistance.

different classes of products in the latter year was as follows: Farm products il69; food. etc., 105,9: cloths and clothing. 1OlO; fuel and lighting. 1895; metals and implements, 111.9; lumber and building materials, 1167 drugs and chemicals 115.2; house furnishing goods. 1o.S; mis- cellaneous, 10I.4.
 Violent fluctuations have occurred in the prices of certain articles, thereby af- fecting the averages in some groups; Thus, coffee now sells for less than half the price that 1t commanded eleven years ago. There has been an increase in the price of IFS articles and decrease in the price of 69 while three are unchanged. The sum total' of this valuable com pilation Is that while the cost of cloth ing and some articles of food is less than 1t was in 1890. before the beginning of the period of so-called hard times, the cost of nearly everything else that we con- sume is higher including fuel, house fur nishings. building materials, and most of the products of the farm. In short, as between the farmer and the wage-earner who cultivates no land the farmer is having the best of the bargain. or was having it last year.

SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1902.
GOODBYE, WILLIAM!

There is little satisfaction or pront to be derived from discussing man like William Waldorf Astor. He has shaken ffiesAmerican microbes out of his clothes, and the sooner we let "o'er the past Oblivion stretch her wing" as Pope ex- pressed It, the sooner we will be rid of bad odor, so far as William is con- cerned. We must copy one paragraph however, from an expression in recent issue of his Pall Mall Gazette, where he expresses wonder that men of wealth and refinement should care to live in the United States, and asks
 Would it be for the pleasure of em- blowing servants who do nothing after fhey arrive as barefoot boys from Ireland, hut think they are better than & race that has been educated and refined for twelve generations? Should they be eX- pecfed to like being crowded and hustled pprse than cattle in public conveyances!
 Naturally there are a great many things which this cad is unable to un- derstand, but which are plain enough to those who possess the right kind of sense. when he sneers at the Irish, however, he makes himself as ridiculous as he is contemptible And when he boasts of the education and refinement of twelve generations he should reflect that only four generations takes him back to a German peasant. possibly as honest and respectable as any, but certainly not to he taken as examplars of that high type of which he tries to make himself d number.
 The right of an American citizen to be- come a citizen of another government cannot be denied. of course. but no decent American will become the subject of a foreign monarchy and then traduce the country which made both him and his family something besides the peasants from whom they sprung. When we read If this mans efforts to descredit his native land we are forcibly reminded of another prominent historical American na med Benedict Arnold. He, also, had been honored by his country and after wards deserted it. Abusing America and fawning on the English he died "despis- ed by two continents" as one of his biographers states. Astor is despised by Americans and secretly sneered at by good Englishmen. Let us say goodbye to Benedict Jackaster.

 The Department of Labor at Washing ton has issued q valuable report on the course of wholesale prices between 1S9l and 1901 careful computation has been made of the prices of 25o articles for the narjod of eleven years and the result is ir dicated bv the following fgures: 112,9 in 1890: l1l.7 in 1891: 1Os.O in 1892; 1o5i in 1S93: 95.9 in 1894; 955 in lSB; 9o'H t1 ns': in 1900: 10S3 in 1901
