The Populists divided their strength, Kyle and Allen voting in favor of the bill and Peffer and Stewart against it. At the very opening of the last day of the groat struggle, says a Wash­ ington dispatch, Mr. Harris in charge of the bill, announced that it would pass that day, or there would be no Fourth of July fcr the Senate of the United States. Until evening there were no sensational incidents. A hard, but hopeless fight was made by the Republicans under the leadership of Mr. She. man to place wool on the du­ tiable list.

A very important piece of legisla­ tion in the shape of an anti-trust law was placed on the 1 ill a3 a rider with­ out even so much as a div ision. It was designed, as Mr. \ 00 heei, Cha man of the finance Committee, said, tJ in­ sure integrity in execution of the law, it being admitted 1 hat any tariff sys­ tem a.iOrdsd abundant opportunity for the formation of trusts and combina­ tions. 4 Ti.e gallariei wer i filled to oVerllow- ing, many prominent ladiet and gen- tlem n bBing pre^enti to witne s the tii al dispo. al ot the bill, and the scene wa - tru y a brilliant one. Half a hun­ dred members of the House were on the floor. It was amid such surround­ ings that the climax occurred, when Senator Allen, of .Nebraska, denounced the Democratic members of the Fi­ nance Committee and cnarged them with bad faith in laking advantage of his ignorance of parliamentary proce­ dure to iaduce him to offer the amend­ ment, thus releasing their Democratic colleagues under the caucus agreement from voting for thc-m. He intimated that he had been tricked. Mr. Vest, on bahalf of 4he commit­ tee. hotly denied the charges, and up­ braided Mr. Allen. Mr. Manders6n, Mr. Allen's Republican colleague frojqa Nebraska, seemed to enjoy tne plight of his asscciate, and warned him ;te beware before he again allied himself with the Democrats. Mt\ Jones of Arkansas also challenged the truth Ot Allen's statements, and scored him for attempting to place the committee In a false light. For an hou». after the excit?ment caused' by this ex­ change of criminations' occurred, tho proceedings wet e extremely dull. HUl Denounces Income Tax. . As the hands of the clock drew to­ ward the hour of 10 the final speeches began. Mr. Allen, somewhat to the wonderment of the galleries aftar his outbreak early in the evening, told the Senate why he had concludtd to vote for the bill. The most dramatic inci­ dent of the n'ght occurred when he took his seat and Mr. Hill arose and in ringing and fervid tones entered an eloquent protect against the "income tax," and arraigned his party associates for being false to their party pledge* and their country. The Republicans drew around him as he spoke, the galleries leaned over as he dealt his sledge-hammer blows. When in conclusion he declared theatrically that he would not support' the bill a wave of applause, quickly checked by the Vice President, swept over the gallery. A final word of pretest fol­ lowed from Aldrich, Chandler and Manderson. The bill Was placed tipon its passage and the roll was called. Upon the announcement of the vote. 34 to 39, the galleries cheered, and amid a scene of rejoicing the Senate adjourned over the Fourth of July. Vote on the Final Passage.

Barely in a public address are thefr?. spoken such ' 'words of softer- nessiDd truth" as are contained in a paper read by Editor O. J. Sturgis, ot the Uniontown (JPenn.) Daily Ts'ews Standard, upon the occasion of a recent local gathering and from which copious extracts are given be? low. Mr. Stu:gis went to the heart of the sublect of the gelations exist­ ing between newspapers and the pub­ lic, taking an exalted and dignify­ ing view of the newspaper publish­ ing business--one that is full of food for thought, whether the reader have to do with the business office or "up­ stairs." He said in part: "It seems-ifo be a common impres­ sion that the newspaper is a sort of public institution, upon which every­ body has a'claim, some right to a say in its management, or to a kick if its policy does not suit him. For that reason, a newspaper is constant­ ly subjected to demands that are un­ reasonable and unjust. If a man goes into the mercantile business, you do not expect to .control his policy or shape his views simply be­ cause you buy his commoditiea You takejhis goods, he takes your money; that ends tbe transaction.. The newspaper also does a legitimate merchandizing business. It deals in news and advertising space. Those are its commodities. It pays for news what it costs to collect, print, and publish it, including the inter­ est on invested capital. It sells news for the price of the paper; and, considering the labor involved, the money expended and the capital in­ vested in its production, there is ^nothingso cheap as the American newspaper, nothing that gives so much for so little. Few people have any adequate idea of what it costs to run a newspaper in an ordinary coun­ try town. The failure to appreciate this, and to grasp the business rela­ tion which the editor's enterprise sustains to other enterprises, ex­ plains the large number of news­ paper failu es that are recorded and the vast amount of money annually sunk in the business. "What, then, Is tbe business status of the newspaper? It is a private enterprise. Its proprietor-- whether individual, firm, or com­ pany--publishes it for profit, to make a living out of it, just as an individ­ ual or a corporation goes into tbe manufacturing or banging business. The motive here is no lower, the calling no less honorable, than is his who enters any other vocation of a semi-public character. The same ob­ ligation of moral and business integ­ rity rests upon the press as upon other p;ofess!ons and businesses, and the fact that an occasional newspaper prostitutes its columns to unworthy ends no mo e condemns journalism as af profession or calling, than the legal or medical profession is made unwortihy of public confidence be­ cause of isolated cases of unprofes­ sional or dishonorable conduct by a member. A newspaper gets no special credit for maintaining a high moral tone, but it gets plenty of cen­ sure M anything creeps into its col­ umns to lower that tone. It is ex­ pected to be virtuous, as a matter of course. "It is the conception of the news­ paper as a legitimate private busi­ ness enterprise that has made great results possible. The editor gathers the news of the field, and sells it to his subscribers When the subscriber gets that, he has what he paid for, and there his claim stops. Tbe pa­ per is not obliged to print the com­ munication of Old Subscriber,' 'Con­ stant Reader,' 'Taxpayer,' or 'Pro Bono Publico,' nor even to give any reason for it. If the subscriber imagines be has special rights and therefore special grievances, he can stop his paper, and there Is no harm done. The conscientious newspaper endeavors to have its news correct and trustworthy, and to verify its information, in order not to mis­ lead or injure tbe innceut. Consid­ ering the difficulty, often, of finding reliable sources of information, and of sifting the false from the true, the wonder is, not that so. many errors cree^lfi, but that so many are kept out. In the large cities, this mutual re­ lation between the ptess and the public is better understood than in the country, and hence the relative growth of the city paper has far out­ stripped that of its rural contempor­ ary. The city paper does business on business principles, and is therefore able to be prosperous, t.nd to live in i.lS own home on a front street. When you enter its office, the ^ first thing visible is the business manager, with his clerks at tbe cash counted Tbe ed­ itor and his assistants are in a remote back room, or on the third floor. Tbe day of the b. slness manage - in the country newspaper office Is also coming, and when it does come, the local newspaper will occupy the place it long since earned--that of an inde­ pendent and profitable business en­ terprise. The countrv newspaper has been crippled because the editor was a good-natured, obliging individ­ ual, who allowed himself to be handicapped by yielding to the mis­ taken public notion that it was a I art of his business to boost along everybody's else business, free of charge. " "When that time comes, the man who wants a notice printed in the newspaper for his personal benefit, or to advance his private interest, will pay for it, just as he pays the merchant for his goods. "The subscriber, who pays for one copy of the paper regularly, will not expect a few extra copies free occa­ sionally, when something nice has been published abdut him, any more than he would expect his milkman, from whom he buys a quart of milk each morning, to send him a half- gallon of cream, free of charge, every time he entertains his friends at a select dinner. "The teachcr who conducts a pros­ perous normal school will not expect free printer's ink to work up his school, while he pockets the tuition straight. , "In short the reign of newspaper dead-head ism Will be over, because dead-headism will come to be es­ teemed as unprofessional and as un­ businesslike to all concerned, as it , has long been inprotitable to the ed- 8EVEN MAMMOTH STRUCTURES SWEPT AWAY. * Admlnlatratlon'a Golden Dome md f*m ona Fall In Ashea--Manufactures BnMiHug Baaed to the Ground--Large Portion ol tbe Exposition Grounds Devastated. A Sen of Flume. '"A'-'fww ago the Court of Honorof the fair "White City" stood in unrt^iff&d' splendor upon the shore of Lake Mich­ igan. and thousands reveled in its beauty. Tb.ur.day night it passed away in fiery splendor, and thousands mourned its fall. Blackened and twisted arches ot iron, with their gird­ ers sagging under the weight of torn sheets of roofing, rear their skeleton forms where tho buildings - Of the beautiful city once stood. Beneath them lie huge mot: nets of smol­ dering ruins frosted with a waste of snowy ashes. Tangles of wire the misshapen hulks of fallen statuary and long rows of blistered columns mark the outlines of avenues and drives. The parapats, the bridges, and the wide sweep of ttaircasing which flanked the buildings have been licked Aip by the fire to the water's edge. Every other atrack of the ele­ ments, fire, wind, cr water, was as nothing bstore this all-devouring "tor­ nado of flame which swspt from end, to end and laid low every important building left standing by the wrecker. The World's Fair buildings are in ruins. Beginning with the huge weather- beaten remains of the terminal station at the south of the grounds, the fire sped rapidly northward, and in the course of its progress completely de­ stroyed the following structures: Terminal Building. Administration Building : Mines and Mining." ' Electricity. Manufactures. Machinery. Agricu ture. Stock Pavilion. x Philadelphia Cafe. Cne man lost his life In the flames and another received burns from which he may die. Besides these a number of persons received minor injuries. Snve i by a Cltwiife of Wind.- Tho firemen made no attempt to save the buildings alter they were once ablaze, but devoted every effort to prevent the fire from spreading. The transportation and government build­ ings were saved only by tho most per­ sistent efforts of the* firemen. At one time it looked as if all the buildings at the north end of the errcunds would be swept away, but a change of the wind from the southwest to the northwest prevented the flames frcm advancing. , A dispatch from Chicago says that a few minutes after (» o'clock Park Po­ liceman John Reynolds saw two spirals of blue smoke curlincr lazily upward from a window in the southwestern corner of the Terminal Building. Hastening over to the spot he burst into the building through a broken door. A stilling gust of smoke rolled out. Penetrating t) the center of the building he taw a point of flame shoot upward from under a stair-case in tho corner. Fanned by tho bresze from the open doer the whole end of the structure was a mass of £ame in less than a moment. Reynolds ran'rap­ idly across to machinery hall and turned in an alarm. When he returned the lire was playing hide-and-eeek in the ornamental cornices. It had not yet felt its power. By some strange fatality the crew cf the World's Fair station was a mile away extinguishing a little blaze at the corner of 71st street and Stony island avenue. It was a full half hour after the fi'-st alarm sounded befor^ the first fteb!e stream broke into "spray at the caves of the tall building. ' It was too late. The fire had found its power. The walls of the terminal station which still re­ mained standing gaped wide cracks through which glowed the volcano of fire within. The flames lighted up whitely the faces of the thousands of spectators who came streaming- out of the park from every street. Some of them shouted "Fira," "Fire." at the top of their voices, but ttey could not be heard above the roar of the fiamoa. The dry building with its lath and staff roof and wooden girders burned like tinder. A billowy cloud of sraoke arote slowly until the upper end of the cloud resembled a huge ba'loon, the top of which was tirst crimsoned with the rays of the setting 6un. Suddenly the northern wall of the Building fell with a crash, and there was an illumina­ tion of firerworks greater th'an any that ever graced a Bummer evening during- the F'air. Nothing could stay the flames, and the • swept on until all the buildings in tnetr fiery path were in ruins. *" THE HIGHWAYS OF COMMERCE. MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON.

American Some Interentiuff Figures on Railway Systems. There are more miles of railway track in the United States than in all the other countries of the world com­ bined. These are the figures: United/ States, 172,000 miles; hurooe, Asia, Africa, South. Central and British America and Australia, 167,000 miles. The numlror of locomot'ves in use on American railways i« 85,000; passen­ ger cars, . *5,000; mail and baggage cars, 8.000: and freight and coal cars, 1,20!), 003. The railways of the United States carry in a year (03,00;),00 ) passengers, and transport 8(0,0JO,00j tons of freight. The disparity between the two branches of transportation is much greater than it is in Europe, for the foreign railways carry twice as many passengers as do the railways of the United States, whereas the earn­ ings from freight or "goods" trains, as they are called abroad, just about bal­ ance. In this country the earnings from freight business are about three times greater than from passenger l)usin6ss« The railways of the United States earn from all sources of revenue about *1.100,000,000 in a year. About, .two- thirds of this is disbursed in expenses, and the balance, $35 ),0D0,0,)0. repre­ sents the net profit. Two-thirds of this, however, go s to pay interest on bonds of guaranteed stock, leaving about $100,000,000, or one-twelfth of the whole amount earned, fo - the pay­ ment of dividends and for neces&ary improvements.

" *- None of in a.e sufficiently sympa­ thetic in our innermost natures. We exhaust our stock upon visible suffer­ ing, and have little left for deeper and sadder evils. We need to realize tnat where we cannot sympathii e our r ght to criticise is questionable. No one is more to be pitied than the wrong-doer, and no one mere truly needs the hand of sympathy extended to him. If we cannot do this, if we»cannot feel with­ in ourselves that even we might have done as badly, or even worse, under like circumstances, we are in no posir tion to do him good. How oftea do we hear, when another errs, "There is no excuse for him. He knew perfectly well what should have been done, but ha failed to do it," showing that there is still held the ex­ pectation that performance will follow Knowledge, even though it has thou- ^ sands of times been proved a fallacy. We must deal with people as they are, not as we would like to find them. There are a few who do their duty at once upon perceiving it. no matter how disagreeable it may be, but most 0f u 1 temporize if possible, or perhaps absolutely shirk many a thing which we know should be done at once. Therefore, though our line of faith* ' lessness to duty may not be his, let us keep a warm spot in our sympathies for the wrong-doer Some day we may need his forbeaiance it some other di­ rection. , A Wonderful Bridge of Agate'. "During a trip through Arizona a short time ago," remarked a traveler recently, "1 came across a most remark­ able natural bridge spanning a chasm about' fifty feet wide. The bridge is formed by an immense tree ot agati/ed wood. The tree had fallen many years before and become imbedded in the silt of some great inland sea or wat3r overflow. The silt became in time sandstone and the wood gradually pass­ ed through the various stages ot min- » era ization until it is now agate. Fully fifty feet of the tree rest on one side of the ravine and can be traced, but how far the other end is buried in the sandstone cannot be ascertained with­ out blasting away the reek. The trunk varies in size from three to four feet in diameter. Whe:e the bark has been torn away all the characteiistic colors of agate are plainly seen, and under a njict oscope the brilliancy of the color­ ings is clearly brought out in all it» beauty." -- .
