BY a unanimous resolution of the Illinois
legislature, the railroad committee has been
Instructed to prepare a bill to FIX maximum
rates for Pullman palace cars, such as they
shall consider reasonable. The officers OF
the palace car company look upon the mat
ter as something of an Infringement of right
and reason. But in point OF fact, there IS
about as good a nance there to squelch an
ablse as in any part of the railread business.
1t has always seemed to some ~unsophlstl-
Gated persons th&S the renting of double
berths at the same price for two as is charged
to g single passenger who happened to be
alone savored of unjust discrimination. The
rates also are extrsvagant. To pay twice
as rauch for an indifferent lodging in a
palace car as a good hotel would charge for
a room is a little grinding to the soul OF
economy. The Illinois folks are on the
right track this time and no mistake.

the deluge forty days. The Children of
Israel did penance in the wilderness forty
years. Moses tasted on the mount forty
days, and Elijah, in the wilderness. The
Ninevites were allowed forty DAYS
in which to repent, and Christ
when He was pleased to fast
observed the same length of time. Oripen-
who lived and wrote early in the third
century, speaks of forty days before Faster
being set apart for fasting. And at the
council OF Mecca, in the year 325, this period
was taken Tor granted. Taking the ex-
pressed views of the churches who accent
this religious observance, there seems
to be the greatest propriety in set
ting apart a special season for the
essential duties of fasting, humili-
alton, and repentance. Otherwise thew

forgotten. The church now lovingly asks

Twelve months ago it was confidently
reported that COMMISSIONS Watts. of the
Agriculture bureau, would hand in h;s
resignation at an early day. So unmistak-
able was the information that no little specu-
lation was INDUCED by the press about his
successor. But suddenly and silently the
excitement dice out, and Mr.. Watts has
s%erenely pursed the even tenor of wav- If
would seem that he has acquired sufficient
confidence in his security to put on q few
airs. He has, or lately had in his nossess;on
a paper on the subject of irrigation, written
by the Hon. George P. Marsh. of Vermont
The House for some reason desired tn know
the contents of the paper, and asked to be
allowed to see it. The genial commissioner
of agriculture, for reasons of his own. fatty
refused to grant the request, or, at least.
paid no attention to the rural gentleman
who have Just come to the capital. But he
yielded to the demand Of the senate. The
dignity Of that body, as possibly also
their power of confirmation and re-
lection. made their word more potent
in the ear of the great seed peddler.
This little affair has reminded the public
again that there is such a man as Mr.. Watts
at the head OF a department whom every
body voted long ago an incompetent as re-
CARDS that position. The New York Trib-.
une makes it the occasion of lampooning
the last monthly report for January, IN
which the commissioner expands his erudi-
ton on two whole pages in a panegyric on
agricultural education. The mischievous

Gravel, weed seeds, and weevils constitute

Possibly the temperance of the indiscreet
gentleman may prove the signal for another
effort at his removal.

A delayed letter from Evansville. on an
other page this morning, although a day af-
ter the fair, suggests the meaning of the re-
cent municipal event in the most f~ourishing
city of the state outside of Indianapolis.
The event, which the letter very
~inadequately describes, is one of real
significance to this city. The business.
men of Evansville found their city pros
pering beyond precedent. The needs
of the day-brought forth the things desired
for the city's growth. Fine churches; fine.
business blocks; fine residences; frst-class
newspapers; admirable railroad facilities
in short, everything but the one vital point
which ruins or rushes a city's growth-a
hotel. Next to its newspapers, and perhaps
before, a city is judged by its hotels. For
tunately there seemed no differences to
impede, and the work inaugurated by
two public spirited smen, Captain Lemcke
and Mr.. Mackay, was begun at once, bu ia
trifie of the capital coming from the town..
Considering the city and its size, a handsome
hotel of the second class would nave salts
fed the ordinary desire OF the travelling
public. But the projectors saw farther in
the future han that, and the result is an adj
structure whose arrangement,
and conduct, would reflect the
credit upon the first city of the land.
To do the event honor, the most RESPONSE
BILE citizens of the town met the guests at the
grand opening which, as the letter elsewhere
strives to show, was a real triumph socially,
every other way, and worthy really Of
best effort of greatly more p~retentious
and more renowned occasions.

recollection that any effort in this direction
was interdicted as mischief, which for want
of kindly guidance, it.generally came to be,
running. as the rogue's tendencies did, to
the held of caricature. But the picture
of a house, a dog. or a horse upon the slate
a quarter century ago earned the ~adventur-
GUS explorer of the art field a rebuke if not
a chastisement. Now, where drawing in
has made some progress the encour-
agement of original talent for design is a
part of the system, and that which brings
the most gratifying fruits. That Indianapolis
has engrsfted drawing upon her system is
pleasing evidence that her schools, like her
material growth, are keeping up with the
times.

On last Wednesday, which was Ash
Wednesday, the solemn season OF Lent
begins. This great season of tasting,
humiliation, self-denial and penitence
is carefully observed by the Anglican
or Protestant Episcopal, the Greek, and the
Roman Catholic churches. Whatever may
be the views of a portion of the public in
this land of many and free religions, it will
be perceived that a very large class, repre-
senting the intelligence and worth
of the community, are interested in the OBJ
servance which begins this morning. The
gayeties OF the winter are all laid aside, the
rein of freedom which has hung loosely upon
pleasures bride is suddenly checked up
and re- ief and restraint come together to the
cloyed and wearied stars of society. 1t is a
respite to the mind, as well as a mortlica-
ton of the flesh, and as such will be accept
ed willingly, even by those, if any such
there be, who lightly regard the obliga-
of conscience. b word Lent is
derived from the old Saxon Lencten, or
.enzten, corresponding to the German LEM,
md signifying spring, so hat the Lent fast
means simply the fast kept in the spring of
he year. Ash-Wednesday, thelname of the
day in Lent, is so called from a custom

assignee. How he proceeded with the vari-
Gus sorts of cases is we'll told by himself,
and also by some of his victims. One feature
is uniform in all, however, Norton never
omitted to get his fees. Another feature not
so certainly uniform, was that he sometimes
got his fees twice over and sometimes but
once. AS assignee, he claims to have handled
only some one hundred and fifty estates,

the victims, John Fletcher Wyche, tells how
the thing was sometimes lone. He repre-
scented an estate of over 8 10000, on which
there was a mortgage sufficient to buy in the
property. He went to Norton and quickly
found that nothing could be lone without
money. After being put off two years and

Norton, he got a receipt for ten dollars and

When the raising of fish by artificial Gull
ture commands the attention of such gen.
tlemen az Robert B. Roosevelt, Of New York.
Alex. Kent, of Baltimore; James Worrall,
of Harrisburg; w. C. Edmunds, of Yer
mont, and many others, it may be presumed
that there is something of importance in the
subject. TIL above gentlemen and more of
equal character are members of the Ameri-
can Fish Culturists Association which held
its third annual meeting in New York last
Saturday. At this meeting many interest
ing facts were told of the experiments and
success of various gentlemen from all parts
of the country. The remarkable fact that
stand out coaspicuously above therest is the
rapidity with which waters may be made
prolific of the finest fish. Before Seth Green,
in 1867 braved the charge of insanity by
Matching shad in the Connecticut river it
was a source of intense regret that the de-
kcious shad had almost disappeared. People
talked of the old times when shad
were plenty, and mourned for the good old
days. A fish would bring an e~xtravagant
price as a rare luxury, which it was. But,
presto, Seth sowed the river with eggs, and
the result is that last year. as the report Of
Saturday declared, "The result is, that, &C
cording to the commissioners report, there
are more shad in the Connecticut river than
there were in 1902, when there were more
shad in the river than ever BEFORE" Mr..
Greea thinks tha all the lakes and rivers
might, in four years, be stocked with white
fish &ad salmon equal to what they held in
former years. He has been successful in
p~ropagGting fifteen species. There are some
very strong arguments in favor of the Guilt
walton ofish. They utilize streams and bodies
of water which are otherwise un%productive of
wealth, naaking them as valuable as the dry
land. Agsin, the food which is converted
by fish costs nothing. They eat that which
is otherwise useless and nuisance. Then,
they require but little or nc care; they seek
their own living and new without the labor
of man. Finally, their food is the most
healthful anA agreeable of anything that
comes under the head of flesh. This matter
has a practical interest to the state of Indi-
ana. Her rivers and lakes are extensive, and

bin providing for the increase of a national
bank circulation, so that the whole volume
thereof shall not exceed four hundred mil
lion dollars. The amendment was adopted
by a vote SC close that il can scarcely be con-
sidered as an indication that the senate is
committed to initiation. A count of noses
discloses the fact that at present about
hirty-eight senator's stand for the issue OF
more paper, and thirty-ive against it. Oh
course there may be changes which may
alter the above guess by a vote or two. On
the whole, however, the prospects for an
inaatiou measure are not fiattering.
