THE ENGLISH RAILWAY PROBLEM

THE ENGLISH RAILWAY PROBLEM. The railway problem has long demande d attention in England, and Select Commit 1 tee on Railway Rates was some time ago ap- | pointed by tho House of Commons. This committee has taken an enormous amount of evidence. No less than $50 folio pages are | taken up with the oral testimony of persons
 who have had complaints to offer against t he ! companies in the matter of freight charges I alone Another large volume is devoted to written complaints. It is interesting to note | the similarity of the complaints to those
 made against railways in this country. It is 1 complained that the charges iare illegally | high; that the classification of goods is mis-
 leading and ridiculous; that preference is shown in charges for certain places and dis trlcts; that rates on imported goods and | goods for export are cheaper than on goods 1 of home production and intended for home consumption; that companies do not allow
 places the natural benefits of their respective geographical situations, but discriminate ar
 tiicially and between traders that what a
 certain traffic will bear, rather than the cost
 or carriage, determines rates ;; and that there
 IS no efficient remedy for these evils.
 The committee has not concluded it's la
 bors, but has submitted brief report en-
 braclng some very important conclusions It
 recommends that permanent special tri-
 bunal be established to which shall be re-
 ferred questions arising as to the rights and
 duties of railway companies in their relations
 to the trade and traffic of the country; that
 this tribunal have jurisdiction to enforce the
 provisions of all railway laws, including their acts of incorporation, and also to give redress in cases of alleged illegal charges that locus staDdi before 1t be given to Cham bers of Commerce and similar associations that terminal charges (if any) should be separated and distinguished from convey ance charges in all cases; and that railway companies should be bound to make no in- crease in any rate without at least one months public notice to the locality.
 These recommendations are the fruit of a protracted and painstakng inquiry, and it is l believed that they will be concurred in by the 1 legislative power. It seems clear that spe- cial tribunal with nothing to do but to ex- anime cases of disagreement between railway companies and their patrons, having exclu- I sive jurisdiction of them and vested with au- thority to enforce it's decrees, is the best way out of the difficulty. The decision reached l in England will probably have strong in- | fuence in other countries where the railway l problem is pressing. .s

the final salvation of all, even of the devil himself
 Henry H. Faxon, zealous and wealthy ad- vocate of total abstinence, accepted the office of constable in Quincy, Mass, in order to fight the rumsellers. His first efforts were hibiting screens in saloons. ttAll sorts of devices were used," he says, 'to get substitutes for screens. Even flowers and vines, those choicest of Gods blessings, were grown in the windows-an insult to ma ture-in order that unscrupulous bartenders might rob their drunken customers without detection from the outside. I am fully satis- fled that the Screen law, if honestly enforced, would stop more than 60 cent. of the evils of rumselling." He admits that he not only employed spies but used field glass for spying. "The truth is, :" he explains, s.that had to frequently fight the devil at long range when could in no way get nearer, and found that in such cases I could use good field glass to great advantage. Many time, when the rumsellers thought that eussed Faxon was nowhere near, have seen them
 
 for the drinks, and have watched the whiskey and lager going down their thirsty throats- MT. Faxon also explains how he worked in disguise: Desiring to see how the business of rumselling is conducted, and whether the men employed acted fairly, concluded to make tour of inspection with them and so, procuring wig, pair of spectacles, dandy hat, and long beard, which exactly matched my own, with false eyebrows, standing col lar, and mouthful of candy to disguise my voice, we started out, and the expedition proved highly satisfactory. My companiol c did not slop over, but took very small drinkt' or purchased by the bottle, and returned per fectly sober and clear headed" Notwith- standing Mir. Faxon's zeal as an officer, the town council removed him but he says the rum interest effected it.

The West is great place and produces great many things. Among it's latest pro- ductions are two religions. One of these made it's appearance in Michigan, and it's vis- isible nucleus seems to be body of twelve elders, who are getting up new Bible, and to whom all family or church differences are referred. The preachers preach without pay. There are about three hundred believ- CTS already. They call themselves sthe Chosen, profess to have great secrets im- parted to them by divine revelation, initiate converts with elaborate ceremonies, keep both Saturday and Sunday as days of rest,
 and have many holy days besides: They dress plainly the men wear short hair and keep their faces closely shaven the women let their hair fall loosely down their shoul- ders. Second marriages, divorces and separ- ations are strictly forbidden. Members worth over $3,0o0 have to divide with their poorer brethren. They have as little as pos sible to do with outsiders, and are talking of migrating, bag and baggage, to some seclud- ed region of the far West, where they can be 'san by themselves,' J free from the perils of contact with the worlds people Another new religion has come to light in the vicinity of Chicago. It's adherents call themselves sOvercomers, J and they claim direct inspir- ation, especially for a woman named Lee,

Improvement in shipbuilding would hardly be expected from Switzerland, yet it is in that country, we are told, that Professor Raoul Picket has devised new model whose peculiarity is that the vessel so constructed, instead of plunging her bows deeper into the water with increased speed will rise and skim along the main with very much less friction than any craft hitherto known. He expects that vessels built according to his plan may attain speed of one hundred miles, or even more. That would make the voyage across the Atlantic less than two days journey. The air displaced by such rapid motion would strike the vessel with force equal to the most furious hurricane. The Worcester Spy thinks that all the professors ships with this marvellous speed will doubtless sail from Swiss seaports and be employed in the for eign and coasting trade of that country.

As stated above, beans will grow and
produce fairly on poor soil, but are more
remunerative when grown ON better soil,
but such soil should have been made
rich by previous culture. Manurlng
this crop acts more for prolonged growth
of foliage, than for grain, whereas the
halfsaturated soil tends to greater fruit
fulness and early maturity. The keep
ing Of weeds in subsection is much easier
when the blowing Is done some weeks
in advance Of planting, and then with
cultivator and harrow, destroying them
as they make their appearance, thus
tining and better preparing the soil for
a crop. The proper time for planting
depends upon the season, as 1t : never
safe to plant till danger Of frosts IS past.
They should be planted in rows, not less
than two and one-half feet apart and the
hills not less than one foot apart; how
ever, the distance should be regulated
by the variety and habit Of growth.
Four or five beans in 2 hill are enough,
and these may be put in by drill or by
hand, and evenly covered, the soil
being compressed over them. Like all
other crops, good seed Is Of great inn
portance late grown seed usually gives
the best satisfaction, and it should be
from a crop which grew more TO seed
than vine.
As to variety l need not suggest, as
probably there is not much difference in
profit, unless it be from local circum-
stances. Mediums and Blue Pods may
be ripened and taken from the ground
in time for wheat or other winter crops
also bringing good prices in market.
The large seeded varieties are more
uncertain, and require a longer season.
The cuItivator should be started as soon
as practicable after they are fairly out
of the ground, and wherever necessary,
the hoe should be used. 1t Is always
best to cultivate beans when the foliage
is not wet. Cultivate sufficiently to
keep down the weeds. Harvesting will
be the subject Of future article.-W.

Culture of Beans.

The bean crop of our country is an
one, and the industry re-
quired in its production is highly worthy
of encouragement. As an article of
food, for man and beast, they contain
nutriment in an exceptionally concen-
trated state, being nearly twice as
nutritious as wheat, and four or five
times as much SO as buckwheat. Beans
are not as exhaustive to the soil as
many other crops. That they may be
grown without any exhaustion of the
soil is not pretended, but / have grown
them, and seen them grown, on soil
which would not produce over ten or
twelve bushels of rye, with the same
expense Of culture, and still yielding q
greater number of bushels to the acre.
The necessary culture Of the crop ad-
mirably fits the soil for the following
one, especially if il be wheat. Like ali
other crops, weeds are its bane. and
therefore clean culture Is essential. and
the necessary stirring Of the soil exposes

such talk of the rights of the farmer,

hear anything of farmers maintaining
their just position and gaining their

hear of farmers helping one another in

bond of common interests that binds
them in friendly relations, before the
