A Railway Miracle.

There has just been incorporated
under the laws of Maine railroad
project which rather tops anything
this or any other country has yet
contemplated. 1t is the New York.
Chicago air line railway company,
and its proposition is nothing less than
to run passenger trains between the
two cities in ten hours time each
way, at fare of SOL Electricity is
to be the exclusive motive power, ap-
piled after a new idea. A new light
of way, as straight as the crow flies,
is to be secured, and it is promised
that the actual work will shortly be
commenced, the surveys having been
concluded. The line passes through
western Pennsylvania about forty
miles north of Pittsburg. The roa d,
it is estimated, will require one hun.
dred and fifty millions Of dollars to
build, which lie to be raised by issues
of common stock. the oAly form to be
emitted. This is the very latest in
the railway world.

How IT'S Done.

In the discussion of the pure food
bill in the House of Representatives
there were some interesting develop
ments concerning impure articles OF
general consumption. The subject
of whiskey was under discussion.
Mr.. Stanley said:
81 have no objection to a man
blending two kinds of whiskey, but l
do object to his making any kind OF
whiskey while you wait Here is a
quart of alcohol, 100 proof strong.
1t will eat the intestines out of
coyote. 1t will make bowling der.
wish out of an anchorite. 1t will
make rabbit spit in bulldogs face.
1t is pure alcohol. and under the
skill of the recti6er he will put In
a little coloring matter and then a
little bead oil illustrating. l drop
that in it. Then 1 get little es-
eence of Bourbon whiskey. and there
is no connoisseur in this House who
can tell that hellish concoction from
the genuine article. and that is what
denounce. l say that the coloring
matter is not harmful, I say that the
saramels are not harmful; but l say
that the body. the stock, of the whis-
KEY I made is rank alcohol, and when
it gets into man it's pure hell.
"Alcohol 100 proof can be made
out of rotten potatoes; it can be made
out of rotten cabbages; it can be
made out of garbage barrel; it can
be made out of dead body, or any
thing else that will decay. Being
pure, it must not be implied that it is
not harmful. Raw alcohol and new
whiskey are deleterious to the health
Of every man who DRINKS them, and
by the adding Of coloring and favor
oring matters these substances are
falsely sold as old whiskey by the
rectifer."
And it is fact that recti6er has
the approval Of the government in
anything he may do with liquors
The rectifers are the only ones fol
whom the government lets down all
bars, removes all restrictions, and
permits every possible scheme Of
adulteration.

The Independent saws that con-
gress cannot place a higher duty
upon tiff without abandoning its
standpattism and throwing the
whole tariff open to revision. This
is proposition that may be view
ed in different lights. There are
probably no Republicans who be-
lieve in the immutability of the
Dingley schedule of duties. They
will continue to believe that tar
i'll law can be regulated as exigen-
cies may demand. What the
standpat idea of the Republican
party implies, and to which the
Republican revisionists cheerfully
subscribe, is that the first princi-
pie of a protective tariff law is
protection of the home market and
labor. If, as in the case of tiff
and it's products, the schedule
needs revision, it will be opened
not for the purpose of lowering
the duty, but to raise it. The
friends of the Dingley tariff, of
which this paper is one, maintain
that the schedule of duties estab-
lished therein has accomplished
more in beneficial results than was
anticipated from it. Tho Demo.
cratic idea of opening the tariff to
revision seems to be to cut out the
protection, yet even in this they
cannot agree. For instance neith-
or the Independent nor any other
Democrat having the welfare of
this section of Missouri in view
will come out for the abolition of
protection on lead and tiff. The
Democrats of the south are just as
insistont that their interests must
be conserved by tariff on cotton
and sugar, the Democrats of the
west want a tariff on wool and
hides, and those of the east on all
manufactured products. There
may he some consistent free trad
ers in the Democratic party, but
there are not enough of them to
seriously menace the protection Of
American markets and labor. The
Democratic revisionists arc for
tearing down the tariff wall only
when it will not in ure them local

document it combines the three es-
sential points of strength-(D a
