In every hotel or home maintained by

who may be brought in by the stretcher

The Western Pennsylvania and East

refused to grant the demand Of bitumin-
Gus coal operators for reduction of 10
per cent in freight rates. The rates

A peculiar condition in railroading ex-
lists in China, where the passenger re-
ceipts uniformly exceed those from
freight traffic. The reason for this most
unusual state of affairs is that the Chi
nese have not yet learned the superiority
of rail over water transportation for
merchandise. As the Celestials progress
this proportion will gradually reverse.
Since Jan. l a decrease of 21,309, 900
in net earnings has been reported by the

contraction can be traced largely to the

The times are propitious for the rein
statement Of the Democratic party in
control Of the government" says Mr.. Da-
Wis by way Of Introduction. 1.-The pub
lc mind is being disillusioned Of the pre-
tension of the Republican party. so long
and so arrogantly made, that the mate
rial prosperity of the country depends
upon its own ascendancy. Thoughtful
and patriotic people are becoming more
and more distrustful Of the heady and
personal element of the present admins
trauon, and are more than willing to see
IL replaced by one that better recognizes
constitutional and other lawful re-
stralnts. They demand that the present
Wasteful extravaganza in the expenditure
OF the money, drawn by taxation from
the industry of the people, shall cease,
and that economy and honesty in the
public service shall be again regarded as
virtues in the high places of the govern
ment"
Hailing as the harbinger of a new era
the inception of the work of building the
isthmian canal, but deprecating the ac-
ton of the administration which ''infict-
ell wound upon our national honor by
its disregard Of the rights of a weaker
nation, the Democratic candidate for
Vice President closes his paragraph on
Panama thusly: "a gross offense against
friendly republic which it was helpless
to resent"
Many rnwarranted things. in the opin-
ION OF Mr.. Davis, must be regarded as
the hrst fruits Of Imperialism, and show
now fast we are drifting toward absolut-
ISM and centralized power.
MT Davis declares that the tariff un-
doubtedly is too high upon such articles
as the manufacturer is able to sell cheap
er abroad than at home Relief from
present conditions, he says. can come
only through the success of the Demo-
crauc party. The trusts, it is declared,
nave grown up under Republican rule,
ana 1t Is asserted that some of them
are so conducted as to be pernicious and
harmful to the general interests"

In some sections Of che city the people

dare not appear on the streets after dark.
Within six weeks there have been %
murders, followed by less than half n
dozen arrests; there have been no lie
than 70 cases of felonious assault IL.
which no arrests have been made; in
Manhattan and the Brenx alone there
have been "a cases of burglary and high
way robbery followed by no arrests. This
astonishing record is in addition to the
many crimes for which the police have
made arrests. So unbearable have con-
ditions become that public indignation
meetings are being held.
