1t is said that the Pennsylvania Railroad
has purchased the West Virginia Central

in their efforts to secure an Eastern outlet
for their Missouri Pacific and Wabash
systems.
As the result of head-on collision be-
tween two freight trains Of the Southern

At Santa Ana, California, on December
81, the worst sand storm known in that
district for many years prevailed. 1t blew
from the desert and in some streets the
sand was drifted like snow to depth of
thirty feet. In many orange groves the
fruit was blown from the trees and the
wind was so severe that walnut trees were
uprooted, windows and plate glass fronts
were smashed in and many small buildings
wrecked. All trains were delayed. The
Southern Pacific Company was forced to
abandon trains between Cotton and Cuca-
monga because of sand drifts across the
tracks. Men could not face the storm to
clear the tracks.

Colored Men in Congress.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

The present Congress has not colored
member in either House. With the exception
of two years, from 1887 to 1889, this is the
first Congress in thirty years that has not had
colored men as members in one or both
branches. The only colored Senators were
Hiram R. Revels, who was elected from
Mississippi in 1870, and BlancheK. Bruce elect
ed from same theState in 1875. The former was
elected to fill a vacancy and the latter served
full term. Quite number of colored men
have served in the lower branch of Congress,
as many as seven at one time. Among those
from Mississippi was John R. Lynch, who
was made temporary Chairman of the Re-
publican National Convention at Chicago in
1884, He was nominated for this position
by Theodore Roosevelt, who said:
at is now, Mr.. Chairman, less than a
quarter of century since in this city the great
Republican party for the first time organized
for victory and nominated Abraham Lincoln,
of Illinois, who broke the letters of the slave
and rent them asunder forever. 1t is a fitting
thing for US to choose to preside over this
Convention one of that race whose right to sit
within these walls is due to the blood and the
treasure so lavishly spent by the founders of
the Republican party. And it is a further in
dication of the principles for which the Re-
publican party so long struggled. | trust that
the Hon. Mr.. Lynch will be elected tempo
rary Chairman"
Mr.. Lynch is now paymaster in the regu-
lar army, with the rank of captain. Senator
Bruce, mentioned above, was appointed Reg
lister of the Treasury after he left the Senate,
and thousands of notes bearing his signature
are still in circulation. Ifpresent conditions
continue it will be long time before another
colored man will be elected to Congress from
any Southern State. The next colored Rep
resentative is likely to come from some North
ern State

The Payne Tariff.
From the Chicago Inter-ocean.


Tobacco growers in any foreign land car
sell their raw leaf in our markets by paying a
duty of So cents to $1.85 per pound, accord.
ing to quality. But the Philippine grower
living upon what the Supreme Court has
declared to be American soil, must pay from
1874 cents to ST. go per pound. Foreign cigars
can enter our markets at duty of 81. SO pei
pound and % per cent ad valorem. But
Philippine cigars must pay $4.57 per pound
and 25 per cent ad valorem.
Brazil, Egypt or any other foreign land
which does not pay sugar bounties can send
its sugar here by paying duty of $40 ton
on raw and 500 on refined. But Philippine
raw sugar must pay $19.45 ton, and refined
1894 ton. Forty five cents ton may not
seem much, but it is discrimination against
an American product in favor of foreign
product.
Nor do the beauties of the Payne tariff seem
to end here. While we compel the islands to
pay these taxes in order to sell their products
to us, our raw sugar, when sent to them, pays
but $14.7 70 ton and our refined but $27.27 a
ton. Our leaf tobacco, to enter their markets,
pays only 22.7 cents pound, and our cigars
only 80. 9 cents pound. In other words, we
put low taxes on our products entering the
Philippines, and high taxes ON their chief
products coming here. We compel the Fill
pinos, in order to trade with US, both to take
and to pay prices fixed by US.
Against this precise policy on the part of
the British Government our forefathers took
up arms. We have not hitherto given the
Filipinos any reasonable excuse for rebellion.
The Payne tariff, if it becomesa law, will pro-
vide that excuse. 1t ought to be called IAN
act to increase poverty and incite rebellion in
the Philippines"
If we want Tonquin on our hands, this is
the way to get it. If we wish to have Spain s
experience with Cuba, this is the way to get it.
The Payne tariff is a scandal on the face of
of it. We still await evidence that it is any
thing else in essence and intent.

Pennsylvania Shame.

From the New York Evening Post.
The President also owes duty to the
American people to put the stamp of in
dignant disapproval on the gang of swim
dlers and 'srippers' who have made Penn
sylvania the moral pest house of the civ
ilized world. There is no abyss, no preci
pice SO awful in the eyes of the believers
in self-government as the present condi-
ton of the State which bears the honored
name of William Penn, and it is today a
question in the minds of some thinkers
whether that State viii be finally rescued
by her sister States or will drag them into
the gulf where she lies PROSTATE. We do
not take SO dark view, for we remember
that New Jersey was once known as "the
State of Camden and Amboy,' and that
Horace Greeley thought she ought to be
expelled from the Union. Pennsylvania
has reached lower deep than New jersey
ever did, but the latter recovered herself.
IF Pennsylvania is ever recovered, it will
not be by the appointment Of men like
Savior to maintain the dignity of the
nation abroad.

German for esident.

Senator j. w. Bailey, Of Texas, has
announced himself in favor of Mr.. German
as the next Democratic candidate for
President. In private letter just made
public by w. " Carver, of Farmersyille,
to whom it was addressed, the Senator
says:
Replying to your inquiry about MIR.
Gormanz / assure you that he is entirely
sound on the tariff question, and although
he did not fully agree with us on the f.
nancial questions in 1896, he nevertheless
cordially supported the ticket.
I am not only strongly in favor OF
German nomination because | believe hin
the best candidate for us to name, but /
am also in favor Of supporting him because
it now looks to me as if he is the only mar
who can certainly defeat David B. Hill in
the..conyention. Hills friends are at work
all over the country in the interest of his
nomination, and I think it would be fatal
mistake for our party to take as its candi-
dat.sin 1904 man who did not support
the candidate in 1885,

Maryland Affairs.

Pocketbook snatching has been one of the
hourly enjoyments of many negroes the past
two weeks in Baltimore.
Baltimore Commissioners of Finance sold
last week 81, 900, 900 worth of city stock, known
as the Western Maryland Railroad 1852 re-
funding loan, to Messrs. Hambleton & Co. at
their bid of $112.425. The stock is to bear
interest at the rate of 81 per cent. The pre-
MUM from the sale was 1924, $50.
Mr.. Edwin Warfeld, president of the Fl
deity and Deposit Company, has purchased
another Howard county farm, making his
holdings in that county about 1,5O0 acres.
His latest purchase is the 125-acre farm of
Mrs. Ella A. Peddicord, widow of James Ped
dcord, which adjoins Oakdale, the Warield
homestead. He gave SIS, 500 for it. Mr.. War
field says farming pays.
The corn-crib, carriage house and stock
sheds on the farm of Robert Joiner, tenanted
by Charles Long, in Kent county, were burn
ed last week, together with quantity of corn,
hay and farming implements. The buildings
were perfectly new, only having been CON-
pleted on the Saturday previous, and the corn
and hay burned had only been placed in the
buildings the afternoon of the day on which
the fire occurred The buildings and their
contents were only partially insured.
Kent county public school teachers are con-
fronted by a strange condition of affairs.
During the past six months series of arrests
of teachers has taken place. The charge in
each case has been the punishment of chill
dren in the schools. In each and every case
the teacher has been entirely exonerated by
the magistrates and by the Circuit Court,
where appeals were taken. This fact, while
having tendency to check the trouble, has
not as yet stamped it out. Miss Clara Mid
dleton, one of the teachers of Rock Hill
school, was arrested last week, charged with
improperly Furnishing pupil, but was not
found guilty by the magistrate at the trial.
The School Board is taking an active interest
in these cases and is discountenancing them.
The livery stable of 81. R. Linthicum, PIG
West Conway street, Baltimore, was the scene
of an unusual auction last week when an
eight footed horse was putup for sale. The
animal was owned and exhibited by Messrs.
Linke and Browman at Pimlico the latter part
of October, until taken to the stable. The
horse is great curiosity, having eight distinct
feet, each being perfectly formed and devel-
oped. A little above the ankle each of the
four legs divide, and from that point down the
ankles and hoofs are perfect. The extra mem
bers are little smaller than the others and
point in, causing considerable Inconvenience
to the animal in walking. The horse is about
eight years old, weighing probably 1000
pounds, and is great pet. Mr.. George Bur
ger paid $61 for the horse at the sale.

Roosevelt Next.

ssRoosevelt will be renominated for the
Presidency and defeated for the Office,
says Webster Davis, formerly Assistant
Secretary of the Interior.
president Roosevelt is not halter broke
He signed 'round-robin' for which he
ought to have been eourt-martialed, mas
much as he was sin the face of the enemy,
and last week he degraded the general
commanding the army and the admiral
commanding the first line of defense for q
little bread.
president Roosevelt is sincere, patri-
otto, enthusiastic and unbfoken. He is
not bridle-wise and his fo1lies are his own.
He would not listen to the advice of any
one when he was an assistant secretary,
and that propensity seems to have been
much enlarged since being called to the
executive chair No one will charge him
with neglecting to further the interests of
the republic or arraign his patriotism, but
no one in official circles will accept his
Judgment.
s'The audience in the parquet, the or
chestra circles and the two first balconies
will pay no attention to him. He is fax
ing his lines, and will not stick to the
text. He comes on in gust Of wind, and
when the storm has exhausted itself he will
find his level
cit will be his felicity to escort Demo-
GRAFT to where the Chief Justice is standing
to administer the oath to the next Presi-
dent. The Republican party surely will
60 down by Roosevelt's weight. Repub-
lcans will defeat him. In the convention
he will prevail because almost any Presi-
dent, save some magnificent fellow like
Chester A. Arthur, can control conven-
ton through the medium of his Federal
officeholders. -

Something About Haiti.

N. F. Powell, colored, United States
Minister to Haiti, recently called upon
Mayor Hayes, of Baltimore, and gave the
Mayor some interesting facts about that
country.
ssThe language in Haiti is French, = he
stated, awhile in Santo Domingo, which
occupies the other half Of the island, it is
Spanish, and in both manners and customs
the two peoples are as widely separated
from each other as the United States and
Mexico. The thermometer never goes be-
low $50 in winter nor above 900 in the
summer. We haye sunshine there 365
days in the year. When it rains it is for
only two hours at time, but then the rain
fall is as great as in two months here. 1t
is as though someone had turned bucket
of water upside down. For foreigner to
get wet means death, for yellow fever i'm
mediately fastens on him. However, one
can always tell when it is going to rain by
the heavy clouds which pile up.
"The soil is of surprising fertility. You
dig hole and drop some kernels Of corn
into it and in eight weeks the corn is ready
for the table. Coffee need be planted but
once in FIVE years, sugar cane but once in
10 and cotton but once in 20 years. | do
not believe there are more than three plows
in the country. There are rich deposits of
gold, copper and iron, which are just be
ginning to be worked.
e'All religions are tolerated in Haiti, al
though the Catholics are the most numer-
GUS, and nearly all receive aid from the
state. There is fine school system, sup
ported by the Government. The hours are
pretty long-from Z 80 a. m. to 80 p.
M, with half an hour recess at II O clock
but there are no truants. =

Horse Put Foot in Mouth.

three-ye ar-old trotting horse stabbed at Theo-
dore T. Max6eld's in Franklin street, has

found the animal doubled up in knot today,
his right hind hoof in his mouth. The horses
jaws were set and he was unable to move.
Efforts were made to pry Tattler's mouth open
with a crowbar, but were unsuccessful. Mr..
Maxfeld then sent for Edward O'Neill, q
blacksmith, and three other men. The stall
was partly torn down in order to allow room
to work in, and after an hours work Tattler

Wonderful Mirage Story.

TsLEDo, OHIO, Dec. pa mirage ap-
peared over Lake Erie today near the lower
Bay Shore, which was witnessed by Harry
Ashley, Charles Carroll and other citizens of
this city. A large city appeared, in which
the streets and buildings could be seen dis
tinctly. Itlasted thirty minutes, during which
time they saw flames burst from one of the
large buildings, and then saw fire apparatus,
horses and people pouring out at different
parts of the city. The buildings were remark
ably plain, and the spectators stood in amaze
ment for about half an hour, when the haze
seemed to lift, and slowly the strange sight
faded away.
The men who witnessed this sight said that
fully 1000 buildings were to be seen, but that
only for few minutes, when the fire came,
did the people and horses show distinctly.
None of the party could recognize what city it
was whose reflection was thus shown. One of
the party insisted that there were many things
about the business part of the miraged town
that reminded him of Pittsburg.
