THE 78th birthday of Prince Bismarck
was honored by many thousands of Gor

the emperor sent any eongt atulations , nor
that Chancellor Caprivl celebrated the

man socnis to lm\o endured the fatigue
of his birthday festivities in a manner
that entirely discredits the recent stories

THE state of Pennsylvania knows that
it has a good thing in its great coal de
posits and it propo-.es to make the most
of it. The legislature of that state is
now considering a measure which pro
vides that after the first day of July ,
1893 , no person or port-on > exporting an
thracite coal from Pennsylvania shall
hell it for transportation or uio outside
of the state for less than % per ton. It
is not likely that nuoh a law will stand
if it is enacted , but the attempt to pass
this bill shows how greedy the c ul men
are in spite of the lessoin that have 10-
contly been taught them.

The commercial relations between the
United States and Gi cat Dutain are so
intimate that there is naturally a pro
found interest on this hide of the Atlan
tic in tlie condition of British ttade. It
is well known that the industrial and
commercial interests of Great Britain
have for some time past sulleied from a
general depression which has extended
its influence to almost every branch of
trade and has paialj/ed faomo important
industries. The business situation in
that countiy is u constant theme
of discussion in its tiade journals , some
of which take a decidedly gloomy view
of the future. In this they are borrio
out b > the opinions expi essed by leading
manufaetmors and tiadosinen , some of
the most prominent of whom profess to
bo able to &eo no promise of Improve
ment. One of them is quoted as baying
that "tho pi esent depression of business
is duo partly to the over-spccmation of
1 BSD-DO , and partly io the fall in prices.
When all the cotton spinners in Lanca
shire arc insolvent perhaps oven the
( lenuens of Lombard street will bo
alarmed. With regard to the largo
farmers in England , I doubt if there is
one soh ent this moment if you charge
his account with a fair rate of inteicat
on capital. "
Expressions equally as discouraging
como from a member of one of the gteat-
est iron companies in England. lie says
that the United Kingdom may bo foiced
b > what he calls "unfair competition" to
impose duties upon importations.
The bociotury of one of the larg
est bteol manufacturing concerns
says that the depression in the
steel business is partly duo to
"free trade , foreign competition and
hostile tariffs , " and the remedy lie pro-
pr > es is "reciprocity and imperial fed
eration. " As to the prospect of an im
provement in the situation the .opinions
given are by no moans hopeful. One of
the loading authorities quoted says :
"There are no signs at present of a re
vival in our business. Shipbuilding is
at present in a worse condition than it
has ever been within living memory ;
no signs of any revival are vibiole.
At present v > o see no sign of 10-
vival in any branch of > the
iron , steel or coal business , and wo an
ticipate no speedy improvement- any
permanent character. * " * ! believe
wo shall go from bad to worse so long as
our present one-bided free trade policy
continues , and trades unionism has its
way in this country so much more than
is the case with our foreign compet
itors. "
In commenting upon those views the
London Finunciul JYcirs bays that
"it would bo foolish to hold
too cheaply the opinions of
men deeper interested who are in a
position to know mo-,1 about the bubject. "
This is perfectly true , and the frco
traders of this country will bis foolish if
tnoy pay no hoed to such opinions. The
condition of trade _ in Great Britain and
the causes assigned for it by men whoso
views ought to bo estimated at a high
value should have some influence upon
tin-ill legislation in the United States ,
and upon all legislation that in any way
t mehos the tiado interests of this coun
try. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Missouri and Kansas have recently
placed upon their statute bjokrt laws re
lating to corrupt practices in elections ,
making bix states that have statutes of
this kind. The Missouri act is a par
ticularly stringent measure. It provides
that every po.-son who offers a bribe or
otherwise illegally attempts tj inlluonco
a voter's e induct shall bo doomed guilty
of a fel'iny and shall be punished by a
line of ; wOO a'nd imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for not loss than two
or inoio than five years. Candi
dates or persons booking nomlim-
titns are foi bidden within ton
days picceding a primary , or within
hixty dtiyo irl Jr to a'i oloution , to give
meat , drink or entertainment to any
person for the purpose of influencln.'lilj
vote , and a promise of such bribjs is
equally culpable with the actual giving ;
of thorn. A person accepting a briba
before or after an election , for his own
vote or for services in hocurlng the veto
of others , is subjected to a penalty of not
less than one month or more than one
yoar. Thus luth parties to a bribary
may be punished and the uumo penalty
applies to corrupt acts in the way of
inducing men to refrain from voting as
U > the direct purchasing of votes.
This law requires the full publication

c iininlttct. < N , of all rampaln | ( dlxbiiiKP-

100 voters ever 50,000. The per
son receiving the next highest number
of votes to that cast for his successful
competitor can , at any time during his
term of olllcc , by allldavit to the attorney
general , cause an action to bo brought
for violation of the section regarding
expenditures , and upon proper proof the
guilty poison will be ousted from office.
Iloforiing to this drastic statute the
( rltilic-lJcmncntt remarks that running for
olllce in Missouri hereafter will involve
serious risks ' Candidates will have to
bo exceedingly eh cumspect or they w ill
find thenis-eivcb in serious trouble. They
will not date to employ the moans gcnoi-
ally used to promote political success , it
will be necessary for them to learn new
methods of doing business with venal
voters. .

tees , of expenditures , forbids specified
foi ins of ti eating and rcquii es that suc

Other violators ai o to be punished by
line and imprisonment. No limitation
is placed to the expenditures of candi
dates , the Missotui la\v being the
fir-.t instance of such legislation
in this country. The opoiation of
these laws , nnd particularly the
more indical one , will bo watched
with intoiest , but theie is no icaaon to
doubt that they will have a salutary in-
lluoncc. Thirtj-seven states now have
ballot laws modeled upon the Australian
system , this reform , which has done
awaj with nian election abuses , having
boon introduced only a few years ago.
It will not bo biirprising if within the

The spirit shown by thai , raihoads of
the countiy in making rates to the
World's fair , and also as to the condi
tions imposed , is a subject of widcspiead
complaint. Eastern papers have criti
cised the policy of the lailroads as sordid
did and u similar view comes from the
press of the Pacific coast. At a meeting
a few days ago of the joint committee of
the Central Trallle and Trunk Line as-
boeiations it was decided to issue roundtrip -
trip tickets onlj from New York to Chicago
cage on the terms previously agreed
upon , that is at a reduction of 20
per cent from the regular faro. These
tickets will not be good on trains sched
uled at less than thirty-five hours , full
faro to be chargedou all other tiains ,
ana no stop-over privileges aio to be
allowed on Woild's fair tickets. This
decision means that a gieat many people
in the cast will bo compelled to stay
away from the fair. The rates to bo
charged fiom points on the Pacific coast
are no more favorable and a California
paper says that if a reduction is not
made a great many people of moderate
means In that htato will have to
forego the - privilege of visiting
the exposition. The Southern Pacific
cific- however , which scorns to hold the
key to the situation. shows no
disposition , so far as the public knows ,
to recede from its position.
The western t o.ttls have not yet fully
determined the quo ition of rates , or if
they have it luvjnot boon announced , but
theie is icabon to apprehend that they
will bo largely influenced by the
course of the eastern lines , and in that
case western travel to Chicago during
the fair will bo considerably less than it
otherwise would be. If transportation
wore the principal item of cash to bo
considered thoio would bo no difficulty ,
but it is going to bj an expensive mutter
to remain in Chicago long enough to
make oven a hurried inspection of
the exposition , and bee the other attrac
tions w orthy of being boon , and with
railroad fares but little below the usual
rates great numbers of people w ill de
cide to lemuin at home.
Doubtless the railroad managers cal
culate that at any rate they will liave all
the travel they can take care of and
this may bo the ease for a time during
the continuance of the fair , but wo ven
ture to think that at the rates so far pro
posed there w ill bo a considerable part
of the exposition period when bomo
of the lines will find their pas
senger tralllc not up to their
capacity. It is probably useless
however , to discuss the matter from the
point of view of the public interests or
the interests of the fair. Neither of
those will bj considered so far as to in
volve any sacrifice to the corporations ,
who see the promise of a great harvest
during the six months of the exposition.
They may reali/.o their expectations , but
it is not to bo doubted that the number
of jio iple who will visit the fair will bo
less by hundiedsof thousands than would
bo the case if the railroads olToicd more
favoiablo rates than they now propose
to do.

Alone and Happy
That's our position exactly We are alone in
showing- exclusive styles in
spring- wear for boys and men
this year. Of course we are
happy that follows If you
had the finest suit in town
you'd be happy , too , but when
ono has a whole big- store full
of J-he finest , happiness
doesn't quite express it. Our
tailors have outdone themselves -
selves this season in making-
up the spring- styles , and we are able to show many
novelties never before attempted. You are just as
sure of getting1 the good cloth in the man's suit wo
sell for $8.50 or the boy's suit for $2 as you are in
higher priced goods. Our goods are like tailor-
made , but a.t clothing-house prices. We will be
pleased to show you our new styles whether you
care to buy just now or not.
