No Consumptive Butchers. "Butchera never ul of consumption."

So far ae a reporter la able to learn, not a single case n on record of a butcher in tbia'.city being afflicted with the incurable wasting of the lunge which claims ita hundreds at thouaauda of vie tima annually. - The fact ia well known among butcbera and has been often the subject of their oiuiinent, although none of them can ve a reason for it. "No," said a man who haa ewung aldfB and rounds in Washington market for the last 20yeais, "I have had rhe n a,' tism and typhoid fevBr and lota of other things, but nothing baa ever beea out ol sear with my lung, and the eame Is true of every butcher in this town. know nearly all of them and I never heard of one of them having conaump. tlon. They don't drink blood or take especially good care of themaelves either. I don't know why it should be so unless it's because the continnal inhaling of an atuwphere of fresh meat Is Etrengthf n ln. "I have otlen thought when hearing of consumptives going "lo Colorado and F, jypt that I know ol a climale uearer at home that would do the business just as well. If they would stay in this stall for a while and swing meat they would get well quite as quickly as tlicy would on the top of of Pike's Peak ." Jumping. Fromltue World.

Touching the steel ttrlke now attract ing eo much attention it would appear that Dublic ooinion is now ranging itself either 00 the aide of the operatorsor with the employs, and to the advantage of the formei it la much 10 their lavor. 3 nee the rapid formation of such truets is have come into being within recent tuonebt many conservative perBons there tofore onpoBed to any obstruction to the free movement of capital have become quite serioiiely alarmed at Ibe situation, which to them now looks threatening; aud it would seem to be the idea that be-caui-e the steel trust iB a menace the urikera ought to win their point which, practically, is that union representatives Bhall arrange with the trust officials the scale of wages for all trust mills. It is evidently believed that if the strikers succeed it will mitigate the evils of the truBt, and it may to some extent so far aa tbe steel workers are concerned, There is, however, a third elemert to be regarded In consideration of the lab or and trnst problems- Tbe consumer of trust products ought to be and empbati cally is, an interested party. Wby should he not bave a word to say in his own in interest? In tbe fight between operators and proprietors bis interest seems to be Ignored entirely. Whatever the striker gains the trust will exact from the con aumer, probably with interest, and it ia difficult to Bee how he is to be benefitted either by tbe success or failure either of Ibe strikers or the trust. If there ia any difference, his intereet lies In the success of the trust, because it might be argued that failure of the strike means lower wages, and lower priced products. Still it iB hardly questioned now that if manu facturing trusts are proper, labor trusta are also proper. But when the con bh -er'e ideas are clear be will conclude that, on the gigantic scale represented by the present contestants, neither is beet for the general good . Tbe Btriker iB not interesting himself 'n the price tbe trust ehall receive for its product. Be is avaricioue, when maBter of tbe situation, aa the trust magnates, and the consumers' interests and the safety of our political fabric requires t' at both ehall be controlled or prohibited and that thing will be done. It is not now clear how it shall be accomplished, but suggestions being thrown out by capable perBone enable us to look through to tbe light of success. From the Telephone Register. Professor Ludwig Morienburger de clares that tbe world is coming to an end again. His explanation of the phenom enon is that it has jumpod its orbit and is careening around in Bpace. He Bays that owing to this fact the summers will become hjtur and the winters will he covnu colder until the human race can no longer endure the transition. There aeeniB to be something mysterious about this tboory, but the average person will not attempt to unravel it. He will sim ply put his trust, 11s heretofore, in the coal man mid the ice man and the eetnli lis cd ways of providence. From the Dispatch. J udgeJE stee, of the United States court, has decided that children of Chinese parents horn in Hawaii are American oiliaone, no matter what government they were horn under. If this decieion is sustained by the higher courts, and we havo not tho least doubt but what it will he, wo have a largo number added to our citizenship in that line. If those born on the island are citizens, '.he native- born Chinese in tbe Philippines are also, and so are tbe mongrels in l'orto 1. co. ThiB is the losult of "commercial oxpne sion." There U no uso ol a Chineee ex clusion act. Wo havo made full citizeue of ouougb to supply the cheap labor map ket for all luture time. It has been once said that this was n "whits man's gov ernment." From the Chronicle. An Eastern newspaper suggests that owing to the'price of potatoes being al most $2 a tack and beyond reach of com mon people, that rice be substituted ns the Btaple article of diet in place of tbe high-priced "spuds.'' It declares boiled rice and boiled potatoes are similar in their ingredients, posBOBBlug about the same percentage of starch, albuminous matter and water. Tbe poor people have not exproeeed their views yet. An Exchange says that Senator Joe Simon, in an intereview at Aetoria, Bays ho favored tree trade with Porto Rico and will do the eamo in regard to the Philippines, believing it will largely in crease Pacillo Coast trade.

Tbe (booting of tbe President at BufTa lo by an anarchist a the week closes leads all events of the wek. The decent people of tbe United States unite in I irrow over the event. If there are any who rejoice they are of the anarchist order, entitled to no consideration, be neath conletnp'. A tradgedy of thi- cnaracter is a public calamity ol the kreatret possible nature. It is not mere ly a etab at the victim, '.t is a dagger in the hear of the nation The strobe it made not merely at tl.e head of ttie gov etnment but a the government itself Personally the tradgedy is to be regret ted, for tte pergonal characier of the president has never been questioned, only bis political character. All respect able people will bow in sorrow over the affair. V ; A government cannot be too strict in ita treatment of the anarchist. He is entitled to no consideration for he haa none for others. He disregards law. whereas law is the very essence of gov ernment and everything else that iB good. Tbe good citizen Ebould be etrict in bis advocacy of everything that commands the respect of the lws of tbe country Even in little things one should be cir cumspect. One should be strict down to the ruleg of propriety that rule soci ety. A man cannot be too honorable in his dealings with his fellow man. One may sometimes feel like opposing some of tbe oppressions of the day, like the trsst system, but there is only ono way in which to do it, through theballot. There can be no exense for taking the law into one'ajlianda. Nations as well as individuals should be honorable in tbei; dealings with each other. When differences arise instead of going to war tbey ebould come togeth er in a spirit of compromise and ami cably settle 'thair disputes, regardless ef the difference in strength . There bave been few wars that could not have been disposed of without bloodshed with just a reasonable amount of forbearance on each side. Most of the bloodehed of the world has been unnecessary. There is much talk about the trouble between France and Turkey. Whatever tho justice of the respective claims of tbe countries it ie a fact that Turkey is country which just now needs to be set down on with the body of an elephant. Uncivilized, thousands of years behind tho times, barbarous and treacherous tho enomy of good government, inimica to Christianity, Turkey offers little to commend itself to the world. V The week ends with talk of settling the groat steel strike, but then this is not tbe only week that has onded that way, and there may be more. Like other disputes this strike could be settled with just a grain of tho spirit of love. ThiB week Albany lias had a carnival, one wh loh promised much in anticipa tion (0 far as the crowd waa concerned aud yet presented few in return. But after all it was an enjoyable affair and there were many interesting features. As a whole though such gatheringa are injurous rather than beneficial if they do not come np to tbo anticipations People generally say this wbbso wilu in. 4'h of Jnly celebration, and now some declare the tanto about tho carnival. Those who did attend though will take away some pleasant recollections and will appreciate the fact that the failures were mostly due to the iwrtr.'p -i,, Mr Hammond'a recenttiniher deals do not get cloBe enough to All nny.

It is quite interesting to observe the manner in which the exact date in which the liners aio to be defeated, is set by the English. This has been done a treat many limes though, and is now considerable of a chestnut. Tbe Boers Btaled when tbe war began that tbey would tight to the last ditch, and just now there is nothing 10 indicate that the lint ditch is in sight. 11 is sate 10 say tliat whenever a man does business on Ibe strrets, standing in buggy, that nineteen tiaies out ol twenty he will prove to be a fakir. The wise man will leave such fellows alone. It doesn't take much wit to appreciate the fact that ncti men do not trave arorlnd the country among big crowds for their health. It is an enigma why some people bite at auch thlnga who have eeen enough of the world to know better. Mr. Schwab ia reported to hive paid almoat a million dollars for a re-idet.ee site in New York, says the 8. F. Pot.

Women have good chances in life; ll.ey an be in any profession ; or, if thev 1I0 not want to he, they cau marry and do nothing. I would rather he a woman, hecauee tbey suffer more than men, and it ie bleteedio suffer. I was born a girl, and, I shall bave to be a woman, bo there is no uee in crying over spilt milk. A manjean work barder,'and a woman has more sense. If I wanted to be a man it would be no use and men swear and spit on the floor, so I have not lost much. i;would rather be a woman, as tbey bave better chances in life as teachers in public ichoolB. I would rattier be a woman any day; men get drunk and steal, and they cao't work or'make children's clothes or dc anything useful. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. On tbe whole, it is something of a pity that eon.e of these fellows who cut their tbroatB. blow out tbetr brains or swallow poiBon inorder to rid themselves of their troubles cannot come bark bo the; might tell others wbo are troubled whether re. relief liea in that direction or not. It is more than probable that what they then could tell would deter other reckless men and women ttoui following in their loot- stepe, and for that, if tor no otherreason, their return would he welcome. As Hamlet implied, it ia hettei to hear the Ilia we know than to flv to those ne know not of, and there isn't much doubt that the.suicideB are not long in finding that out. E. P. Howe in LippinrottV. Gen. Sherman was one of tbe most ap proachable men who ever oommanded a great army. During his famous "March to tbe Sea" both North and South were completely myelified as to what point he wbb striking for. and one day an old Georgia planter, who had called at bis headquarters and his good cheer, asked him plumply If he had any objection to telling where hiB army was bound. "Not the least," said Sherman. Then, lean ing over, he whispered in his guest's ear, but bo loudly that everybody elee in tbe tent overheard, "We are going pretty much where wo damn please." Mre.

New York Letter to the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Cb .rchlll easily leada all other contemporaneous writers excepting Mark Twaic in the amount of his gaina. He received from "The Crisis" and from "Richard Carvel," both book nud play, a little over $200,000, these figures being obtained not from mere hearsay but what should be authoritative sources.
