CORRECTING An ERROR

The public memory is not long-Iived.
The events of yesterday are forgotten
today and those of six months before
are usually swallowed up in oblivion
Last winter some time, the entire
country was startled by tremendous
successful public robbery achieved in
the city of Philadelphia. Through the
overpowering influence of United States
Senator Quay and his political associ
ates, the city of Philadelphia, through
the action of its council and mayor
handed over, without dollar of COM
pensation, to a private corporation a
street railway franchise covering every
street in the city of Philadelphia and
estimated as being worth many mill
lions of dollars.
1t is on record in connection with
that transaction that the leading mer-
chant of Philadelphia, himself a former
Republican cabinet officer, Mr.. John
Wanamaker, offered to buy from those
who thus got control of it, the fran
chlse mentioned for a sum of money
exceeding million dollars. This offer
was made before the transaction was.
consummated and involved an offer IN
the city of such an amount for the
franchise in question. The offer, of
course, was not considered. and the
people of Philadelphia found as a re-
suit that the consolidated street car
corporations of that community had
secured the absolute rioJo+ +o oc+oL1;1
their system over, under and upon
every public thoroughfare in the city.
Public disgust and bitterness as the re-
suit of this transaction continued at
white heat for brief perida and was
then forgotten. The people of Phila-
oelphia made the most of it and have
since helped to ratify the continued
dominance in the affairs of both civ
and state of the combination of pub
lie marauders which had accomplished
this huge public steal.
1t now appears that in one respect
at least, the interests of the community
were not wholly ignored in that trans
action. An examination of the pro-
VISIONS OF the measure has recently
revealed the fact that they embodv this
language: Said motors shall be sun
piled from under wires or such other
system as shall not require overhead
wires or poles" 1t is announced that
those in whose interest the street car
ordinance of Philadelphia was passed
are quite wroth at the discovery that If
embodies such provision, and the an
nouncement is made that steps will be
taken to see that this requirement is
wiped out of existence and that the
delights of the overhead trolley sys-
tenn shall continue to be experienced bv
the city of Philadelphia.
So far as known now there will he No
difficulty whatever in having the conn
Gil repeal this provision. That BODY is
as facile a tool as it ever has been of
the corrupt Republican politicians who

PROTEST AGAINST KISSING.

Evidence is accommodating that some
body has recently started "a literary
bureau out of which is flowing a steady
stream of copy" intended as knock"
against the habit of members of the
human race of expressing regard for
each other by that labial greeting
known as kissing. 1t is common rumor
that kissing has been going on since
Noah and several others, live stock in
Guided, went into the ark, two by two,
and it seems like a waste of time to
try to change a custom which has all
who have tried it,
Still this party-whom most people
will picture as an old maid of forty
seven-is working away with a vigor
worthy of a better cause. She, he or
'it," pessimist to the last fiber, tries
to drive OSCILLATION off the map by
showing that it is often deadly In
stances are given in large numbers to
bolster the claim that it is perilous. 1t
is stated that Spanish vessel few
years ago put into the little seaport
of Candalo on the coast of Florida fly
ing yellow flag; that sailor put off
in a. boat for the shore, sought out his
fiancee and kissed her; that the girl
succumbed to the plague and that 200
persons of a population of 1900 died.
That was extremely sad, to be sure,
and it is too bad that the impulsive
sailor could not have depressed his af-
lection for a safer occasion.
Many other instances are given to
indicate how reprehensible the kissing
habit is, the last of which-no doubt
intended as a cIincher-caused a war
between nations. It is stated that
young Bavarian prince named Ferdi-
nand during a visit to a neighboring
state inadvertently inadvertently is
good-kissed a beautiful member.o of the
royal household, ignorant of the fact
that she was already affianced. Her
betrothed happened to be standing near
and witnessed the incident. High
words ensued, a duel followed, diplo-
matte relations were broken off be-
tween the nations, a war broke out and
thousands of deaths resulted. Very
sad again, but what does our pessimis-
tie critic suggest as a substitute? It
is easy to find fault, but hard to sug-
gest remedies for the ills which hui
man flesh is heir to.

IN AUGUST DAYS.

Soft blows the breath of vagrant winds
From dim hill margins, loosened free
Y, er wood and lea,
When August fingers in the gold
And blue her lavish DAYS unfold
When Wearied summer falls asleen
In orient meadows harvest deep.
And the dear world in every tone
Has wooing music all its own.
What heart so dull
AS not to feel the SPELL
The ripe years miracle
Of the earth beautiful?
Pale asters, spirits of a flower.
The vanguard of the autumn, bloom,
And the perfume
OF August mead6w-lilieS drifts
Where each its honeyed chalice lifts
Green with its dover of aftermath,
And crimson poppieS burn and glow
Where shadows waver to and fro
Ger fields of wheat,
The distance puppies on the hills,
The world some rife enchantment thrilla
AS vague as sweet.
Fair August days,
Inc languor of a reStfu1 dream,
The Groom of many lettering stream.
The murmur of the winds among
The ancient pine-trees, tassel- hung
An elfin rhythm faint and low,
Seems ever now to come and CO.
And lulls each weary heart to rest
Upon the kind earth mothers breast.
In August days.

: THE MORGAN COMBINE.

A great deal of speculation has been
aroused as to the attitude which the
British government will choose to oc-
cupy towards the great consolidation of
steamship interests recently effected
through the agency of Mr.. J, p Nor
gan. The views which prevail on the
subject are as adverse as the in
terests that will be affected by the
consolidation. So far as the reading
public is allowed to understand and the
true nature of the transaction it
amounts to this: The great New York
hnancler has been the medium of call
ing into existence a vast combination of
transatlantic steamship interests de-
signed, if not to control the commerce
of the ocean, at least to conduct it's
share of that commerce under condi-
lions most favorable to financial sue
cess.
The British government has been
obliged to take official cognizance of
the combination. The British premier
has declared in the house of commons
that the government has the opera
ton of that combination upon the ma
tional interests under consideration:
and the latest declaration in this be-
half seems to be accepted as an assur-
ance that the imperial government will
tacitly assent to the existence of the
consolidation.
In this latter event, as the vessels
of the fleet will doubtless sail under
the British flag, the result will be that
England will have placed at her dis
posal an auxiliary fleet of steamers of
unexampled strength. The govern
ment has doubtless insisted upon it's
right to impress the Individual ships of
the new fleet into it's service in case of
any national emergency demanding
such action.
we can regard the event as we NAV.
but practical intent of the consolida-
ton will probably be to further exclude
Americans from serious competition
with English steamship owners in
transcontinentaI carrying commerce.
While we are considering the advisa-
bility Of substituting American vessels.

Morgan, entering into an agreement

WORRIED OVER SUN SPOTS.

Scientists and weather observers are
just now writing the magazines full OF
theories as to the cause of the great
rainfall on the North American CONT
nent since the 1st of May, or. more ex-
actIy since the volcanic eruptions at
Mont Pelee and La Souffriere. Not a
few of these connect the excessive fall
Of moisture with the disturbances in the
Caribbean sea, but more of them are of
the impression that the trouble has
come in large measure from sun spots,
the study Of the periodicity of which is
fascinating.
AS a matter of fact, few people who
have looked into the matter studious-
ly doubt that weather conditions are
influenced by the sun. Even the novice
remembers that a succession of cold
years is followed by several warm ones
a wet one. Attempts to connect these
with the periodicity of the changes on
the face of the sun have, as a rule,
been more entertaining than convinc-
ing.
Then, too, there is a dispute as to
the periods of the increase of sun
spots. There is a common theory that
there is an eleven-year sun-spot cycle,
but Prof. Wolfer, of Zurich, Switzer-
land, says there is still another cycle
which comes once in fifty-f1ve years.
Whether there is some relation between
the weather and the eleven-year pc
riod or only with the fifty-five year
period is a question. Anyhow, the sub
ject is one which can be as wisely dis
cussed by one scientist as another and
with as little probability of successful
contradiction.
In the meantime, those who have not
given the question any serious thought
may be surprised to know that among
the phenomena said to have been in
f1uenced by sun spots are barometric
pressure, depth and quantity of dis
charge of rivers, retreat and advance Of
glaciers, number of shipWrecks, bank
failures, commercial crises, famines,
wars and flights of butterflies.
1t may be of interest to those who
are showing signs of mental weakness
over this solar problem to know that
pectrobolometric observations are now
in progress at the Smithsonian Astro-
physical observatory at Washington to
determine whether or not there is
really any eleven-year sun-spot cycle
In the language of the street, this will
help some.

HALF DEAD WOMAN
PRESERVED, REST IN DUST
This Is What Husband Finds, Who
Resurrects Wife to Renter.

=
PETERSBURG, KY Aug 10. -
George Howlandery an old river man,
who was a pilot on Ohio river steam
ers before the war; now a resident Of
Georgia, came here recently to renter
the remains of his wife, and was hor-
r1f1ed to find that half of her body was
in perfect state of preservation while
the other half had, crumbled to dust.
The body was buried in 1854 on a
knoll overlooking the Ohio river near
Spellrock.
HoWlander was making the trip with
her by boat from New Orleans to Pc
tersburg. She died en- route of typhoid
fever and the body was buried at once.
This week the old pilot caused the
grave to be opened and made the
greWsofne discovery that the whole left
side OF the corpse had been preserved
by some strange alchemy of earth,
While the right side had turned to dust.
The hair had grown at least ten inch
es since the interment and was still
IN a splendid state of preservation.
The Impression made on the pilot by
the sight was such that he returned
to Georgia without the remains, which
were re1nterred in the old grave.
No one has been found to give a sat-
IS factory account of the phenomenon.
