Cudahy has been in the extortioa bus iness for years, without any law to prevent him, and has made millions or more; while Pat only got $25,000 back, without any law to prevent it.

Cudahy however, took his by stealth, from the poor: while Crowe took his from one who could esaily spare it, and not suffer 19 freight rates. The pool will, no doubt, similarly fix the price of steel rails, billets, beams, bars. rods, nails and other related products. J. II; TAYLOR, I.

Under McKinley's benign sway, our trade with the Philippines is growing. A week or two ago the S. transport Hancock landed at San Francisco with 2500 corpses direct from Manila. This is the first full cargo of corpses ever brought to this country from anv part )f the world, although we have had numerous consignments of corpses during the past two years from the same port to the same city. The prospects for regular cargoes of corpses from the Pnilippines is very encouraging, as McKinley is preparing to send over more American soldiers to the Philippines, from whom, in due time, other cargoes of corpses will be secured.
