OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
fews From all Quarters Condensed—
What the Workers are Doinjr-
Easiness Prospects.
Philadelphia, Pa.,
November 14, iSqa.
The possibility of s general de-
cline in prices of nesrly sll com-
modities during 1893, has been en-
tertained by not only manufacturers,
but investors, bankers, and business
men generally. The drop, if it
comes, will be fractional, and will
result from the fact that there is
more producing capacity in all direc-
tions. than is at present fully em-
ployed. There is an additional tact
pointing in the same direction, viz.,
the large amount of idle capita!
awaiting investment. The capital-
ists seeking investments in railway
properties, are weary of waiting for
the promised revival of railway
building. Should six or eight thous-
and miles of- railway be built next
year, it would impart a stimulous to
the iron trade, such as it has not felt
for four or five years. There is
wonderful activity, however, in all
branches of the iron trade not con-
nected directly with railway build-
ing, notably in boiler and engine
wotk, bridge and elevated railroad
building, car building, and general
foundry and -machine work. The
Baldwin Locomotive Works now
have 4500 men at work, more than
for several years, and are turning
out 17 locomotives per week. Elec-
trical locomotives are also being
built, in spite of the claims so often
made that they cannot be utilized
for railway work.
The banking interests all over the
country are well satisfied with the
volume ot money in circulation; but
borrowers and business men gener-
ally arje not. The loudest com-
plaints ? come from the far west.
The Earmers' Alliance people are
taking; up the currency and silver
questions in a way to surprise the
eastern! money lenders. ,
Wheit is low in price, enormous
in volume, quick of sale, and the
foreign demand is heavy. The
farmers are contemplating the plant-
ing ot large additional areas; land
is cheap and plenty, especially in
the northwest. The cotton planters
are groaning over the low ? price of
cotton, and talk about a diversifica-
tion of crops, without entering upon
it. L.argely increased acreage will
be reduced to cultivation next year ;
capitalists are buying up large tracts
of land for cotton planting in Texas,
at low price}®. The strikes in Eng-
land will probably cause a falling
off in demand lor our cotton for a
time.
The volume of business continues
at about 10 per cent in excess ot last
year at this time. Bank clearings
for the past ten months foot up 50,-
000 million dollars. Last week's
bank clearings throughout the
United States were 20 per cent
greater than for the corresponding
week of iSqi. Low prices and
heavy production are stimulating
trade, and this is likely to continue
throughout the winter. Since ]uly
exports of wheat from the United
States to Europe foot up 70,000,-
000 bushels. For the past ten
months wheat exports from New
York aggregate 45,500,000 bushels.
Corn exports are also greatly in ex-
cess of last year.
Our bankers are living in dread of
a general demand for gold which
will unsettle our financial system.
But the probability is that the
United States Will soon gain a posi-
tion where it will be able to retain
its gold.
A bed of coal has just been dis-
covered in Japart, containing as
much coal as all the coal beds of
Great Britain; the fact has been es-
tablished by a government survey.
• The heaviest wire order ever
given, was recently filled by a con-
cern at Worcester,. Mass., which de-
livered 35 miles of feeder wire for a
cable railway; the weight was 6 tons
per mile.
One of the biggest gun foundries
in the world is to be located'at Buf-
falo. A freight car is being con-
structed by the Pennsylvania com-
pany to carry a 150 ton Krupp can-
non.
The spirit of speculation is sub-
siding in commercial circles in th**
United States; cash dealings are be-
coming more general; long credits
are disappearing. The business in-
terests are returning to more healthy
and uatural methods.
During the past 8 months 7,750,-
000 hogs took railroad rides in this
country, representing an increase of
1,050,000 as compared to the same
time last year. The jndustry is
thriv:ng throughout the west.
Allegheny City, Pa., wants an
elevated railroad within its limits,
which will cost $3,000,000.
The Chinese used 8,000,000 gal-
lons of coal oil, ten years ago; last
year they used 50,000,000 gallons;
ten million gallons of this they
bought from Russia ; the remainder
ii*om the United States.
The sugar manufacturers are put-
ting their trust in paper bags, in-
stead ot barrels, the Trust having
iiist given an order for 5,000,000
bags to weigh 1 1-2 lbs. each. This
is to save freight, as a barrel weighs
23 lbs.
Latest advices from Great Britain
show a general depression in both
domestic and foreign trade. Ship
building and the cotton and iron
trades are all dull. Workmen are
being discharged by the thousands,
and wages reduced. This*will prob-
ably stimulate emigration.
A new sound steamer,, to be 450
feet long, has ]ust been started at
the Roach ship yards.
The manufacturers of fine cutlery
of all kinds, expect soon to be in a
position to control the American
trade, but the Sheffield manufactur-
ers laugh at their pretensions.
American iron makers are crow-
ing over the fact that they have ex-
ported some pig iron to Great
Britain.
There is talk of a great railway-
consolidation, by which the interests
of Gould, Huntington and some of
the other magnates will be united.
There is probability that this will be
done; and if so, it shows that one
more step has been taken in the
direction of government control ot
railroads.
The labor question is quiet; the
leaders are.tired of quarreling; their
reputation with the rank and file has
suffered. There is less disposition
to strike than at any time for years,
notwithstanding the fact that em-
ployers anticipate numerous strikes
neixt year, on account of the World's
Fair.
JLumber manufacturers all through
the south and west are buying im-
proved machinery, in ortler to re-
duce, cost, on account of the compe-
tition, which grows more and more
active. Manufacturers ot saw mill
machinery are all crowded with
orders and much old machinery is
b«ing displaced. J. M. D. -

HE WAS A PIRATE. <
A MEMBER OF LAFITTE'S BAND LIV-
ING IH TEXA8. -
Old Oharles Oronea, in His Eighty-Seventh
Year, Loves to Talk of Those Days.
Bolivar peninsulars a sand spit on
the Texas coast, terminating oppo-
site Galveston in Bolivar point. A
few miles eastward the peninsula
narrows to a mere ridge known as
Roll Over, and there lives Charles
Cronea, aged S7, and the last sur-
vivor of the famous "Lafitte Gang"
who once dominated Galveston is-
land, or the "Republic of Cam-
peachv."
Charles Cronea was born in the
south ot France in 1S05 and was
made a cabin boy at'the a^e of ten.
After many* voyages he found him-
self, very much to his amazement, a
cabin boy on what waj practically a
pirate ship. He was, in fact, one of
"Lafitte's men," and has been a
Texan ever since. There was a
faint odor of legitimacy about La-
fitte's rule. A revolutionary govern-
ment in Mexico had appointed mili-
tary rulers in Texas, and they had
regularly commissioned Admiral
and Governor Jean Lafitte. The
governments above him went to
pieces, but he promptly took out
commissions from and flew the flags
of South Ameiican revolutionists,
held "Campeachy" and preyed on
Spanish commerce.
When he is feeline well—and he
is remarkably vigorous for a man of
his age—Cronea can talk, by the
hour about the wild tilnes,of Lafitte
and Aury, Long, Ellis Beam and
other filibusters. To a recent visitor
he said that, aside from their "busi-
ness," the Lafitteans were good
men.
"Didn't you have some fighting
to make the captures?"
"Oh, no. They always gave up.
It wasn't any use to resist." -1/
"You were prepared to fight if it
was necessary."
"Yes, we had pistols, the ojd-
fashioned one-barreled kind, with
flints. We also had cutlasses. They
were big things, as keen as a razor.
They weighed about five pounds.
When one of those knives come
down it was good-by, Coly." '
"What sort ot a crew did you
have,; pretty rough?"
"We ha^ilhe same discipline as
on board a man-of-war. We couldn t
have done what we did if it hadn't
been so. Any man who misbehaved
was punished."
Which is the truth. In fact, La-
fitte hanged one of his favorite cap-
tains for plundering an American
vessel. In the state capitol at Baton
Rouge hangs a large oil painting
commemorative ot the battle of New
Orleans. In the very thickest ot the
fight, directing the work of a batteryv
ts a gigantic figure which is pointed
out to the visitors as.that of "Lafitte,
the pirate." It is history that La-
fitte fought most bravely under Gen.
Jackson in' that decisive battle of the
war of 1S12 and that a pardon wa^
issued to him for it. Before that a
price had bee'n set on Lafitte's head.
The British commander on ap-
proaching New Orleans offered La-
fitte a captain's commission in the^
British service, but the latter sent to
New Orleans an otter for service
and a letter beginning thus:
"L am a stray sheep, wishing to
return to the sheeptoUf- If you
were thoroughly acquair>Hd with the
nature of my offenses I should ap-
pear to you much less guilty and
still worthy to discharge the duties
of a good citizen. I have never
sailed under any flag but the Re-
public of Carthagena and my ves-
sels are perfectly regular in that re-
spect."
He served and was pardoned, but
leturned to his old tricks. A much
worse lot gathered around him and
finally plundered an American ship,
so an American brig was sent!to
deal with him. He entertained the
commanding hands only, but his
blandishments .vere without avail.
The torch was applied to the build-
ings and the tire burned until the
camp was in ruins.
Then the fleet of pirate ships was
brought together. Lafitte's favorite
ship, The Bride, was put in readi-
ness. Those treeboaters who wish-
ed went with Lafitte. The others
were scattered. The king pirate in
his flagship with the fleet following
sailed away. He never returned to
Texas. He settled on the coast of
Yucatan, where he was given a con-
cession of land for his "services on
behalf ot Mexican independence,"
and "where he lived in peace till he
died." In his old age he reformed.
So did many of his followers.
Cronea joined the Texas army,
j took part in the battle of San Ja-
j cinto, married and located on the
i seashore, and now has ninety living
J descendants, including many grand-
children. All these were born in
j three counties in Texas, the oldest,
j Mrs. Matilda Stouch, being 56. In
! conclusion Mr. Cronea adds with
I pride that soon after leaving Lafitte
he became a good American citizen
of Plaquemine, La., and cast his
first vote for Andrew Jackson in
1S12.—Kansas City Times.
JUDGMENT S08TAINED.
William Miller et al vs the City
of Denison et al; appeal froiti Gray-
son.
This suit was brought by appel-
lants against the appellees in the
district court of Gr.iyson cdunty to
enjoin the collec'ion of certain taxes
assessed and levied by appellees.
Injunction was temporarily granted,
but on final hearing it was dissolved.
Denison is a city of over 10,000 in-
habitants, and wa-. organized under
title 17, article 426 ot revised
statutes, wnich provides that cities
having more than 10,000 inhabitants
may levy, assess and collect such
taxes as may he authorized bv law,
but no tax lor any purpose shall ever
be levied tor any one year which
shall exceed 2 1-2 per cent of the
taxable property of such city. The
ordinance of Denison relating to
taxes among other things prescribes
that a tax of 1-4 ot 1 per cent tor
improving streets, etc., shall be
levied which appellants claim was
partially without authority, in so far
as it included the use of that tax for
school houses, a specific tax for that
purpose already having been provid-
ed for by oidinance, which limited
it to an ad valorem of 25 cents on
the $100. Appellants further claim
that a tax of i-4 of 1 per cent for
paying outstanding floating indebt-
edness vis illegal because it was in-
curred for "current Expenses" for
which the city is limited to a levy of
25 cents on the $100 already impos-
ed and exhausted by previous sec-
tions of the ordinance. Thev also
assert that a tax of 1-2 of 1 per cent
for protection against tire was illegal
as the city was without authority to
levy a tax for that purpose. The
aggregate of taxes imposed by the
tax ordinances did not reach the
maximum of 2 1-2 per cent prescrib-
ed by the act. Held: Appellants
interpret the expression "authorized
bv law"" to rne<in that the legislature
must have specifically provided the
extent and method of taxation before
warrant therefor would exis;. To
protect the inhabitants Irotn con-
tagious diseases, provide for the
payment of debts, supply water for
the extinguishment ot fires and re-
pair streets, tic., are duties charged
upon cities by statute and require
money for jtheir execution and neces-
sarily taxation must be resorted to.
The power of taxation within the
constitutional and charter limit is
vested in a municipal corporation as
an essential attribute*for all the pur-
pose's of its existence unless its exer-
cise is bv express terms prohibited.
(9S, U. S. 3S1). Tghe taxes not ex-
ceeding the Constitutional limit and
'being imposed to discharge statutory
'.duties the levy was "authorized by-
law" and should be upheld. F'ne
article in question should be con-
strued to vest authority to levy taxes,
provided it was called for 111 the dis-
charge of a duty elsewhere imposed
by law upon the city. In the ab-
sence of special statutory direction
the application ot the tax fund,
when collected, to the different pur-
poses of corporate existence, is lett

A WINTEJ1 IN GREENLAND.
When the little party of- Lieut.
Peary was left on the shores Mc-
Cormick Bay, July 30, 1S91, to pass
the winter of 1S91-92 in northern
Greenland, the keenest interest was
everywhere felt in the novel method
by which the new exploration o: the
far north was to be prosecuted, an
interest vyfi'ch was heightened by
the very smallness of the party
anil the fact that a lady was one of,"
its members. Besides Lieut. Peary!
and his wife, there were five in the
party: John M. Verhoeff, a miner-
alogist; Dr. Fredrick A. Uook,
surgeon ; Langdon Gibson, ornithol-
ogist; Eivind Astrup, a Norwegian,
and Mathew Heuson, colored. The
lieutenant had been but recently
married, and his young and ac-
complished wife resolved to ^hare
the hardships and dangers of the ex-
pedition with him. Everyday when
the weather, was pleasant, Mis.
Peary and her husband took long
walks on snow shoes in the neigh-
borhood of their Arctic winter quar-
ters. " '•
The point selected tor their, winter
home was a Jittle north of Whale
Sound, 77 degrees and 43 minutes
north latitude, and about a hundred
miles south ot the great Humboldt
Glacier, at the head of which the
overland journey to reach the north
coast of Greenland was con^menced
in the spring. The wooden house
to protect the party during the
winter was inclosed by a stone
and turf wall, and was styled "Red
Cliff.'- It was substantially com-
pleted before the first ot September,
and a boat party sent out to visit the
natives brought back' a supply ot
birds, ar.t^ an Eskimo hunter and his
familyiqther natives with dog sledges
subsequently arriving and settling
around| Red Ciiff. Mrs. Peary-says
ot the natives : "They were bright,
merry,'willing creatures, anxious to
please. They enjoyed our coffee
and biscuit, but cared little for
sweets. The'women were especially
interesting to me, and many hours
were spent in watching them at their
work."
The beginning of the long night
found the party with thirty-one rein-
deer, several seals and walrus, and
hundreds of birds, in addition to
the supplies which had been brought
with them, and a warm, snug house
to shelter them all. Of their time
of waiting, Mrs. Peary writes:
"The winter, although we had a
hundred days of darkness, with tem-
perature ranging lrom 30 to 50 de-
crees below zero, passed pleasantly.
Every day we took long walks on
snow shoes, and often I indulged 111
a sledge ride, drawn by one of my
Newfoundlands and one Eskimo
dog, and yet cannot boast of a single
frost bite. During one of our hunt-
ing trips we had a narrow escape
from drowning by haying our boat
crushed by a herd of angry walrus,
many of them wounded by us, but
we killed seven and escaped without
a scratch." The time did not hang
heavily, and in April the long night
was over, and daylight lasted almost
throughout the twenty-four hours.
Mr. Peary then took his wife on a
tour of some 250 miles in seven
days, traveling on a sledge drawn
by thirteen Eskimo dogs. They
slept on the snow, without any shel-
ter 'after pulling themselves into
deerskin bags, fastened lightly
around the neck. They often made
forty miles in a single march, and
Mrs Peary says: "it was a fine
sight to see these thirteen beauties,
with heads up and tails waiving over
their backs, dashing over the ice."
On May 3, Mr. Peary, accom-
panied by Astrup, took leave of his
wife and the others of the partv for
his long northern journey, striking
the northeaster^ coast of Greenland
011 July 4, in latitude §i degrees and
37 minutes, longitudte 34 degrees,
where he discovered a great bay,
and named it Independence Bay.
The return to McCormic Bay was
commenced on July 9, the Kite with
a relief party sent to his support ar-
riving at the «ame destination but a
few days before him. Mrs. Peary
bad been taken aboard the Kite.
She writes: "On August 5, Pro-
fessor Heilprin and a party left to
make a reconnoissance of the inland
ice, and at 3 o'clock on the morning
of August 6, while lying in my bunk,
I heard- shouts from the returning
party, and in a few minutes a quick,
firm step on the deck, which I recog-
nized as by husband's. The next
instant he was before me. I then
felt that God had indeed been good
to me. Good news from home, and
Mr. Peary returned in health and
safety atter an absence qf ninety-
three days, during which time he
traveled over thirteen hundred miles
over this inland ice. So far every-
thing had gone just as ] we had
hoped." The Kite arrived! at New-
foundland on her return tri| on Sep-
tember 11.
