ment may constructively consider this within
its sphere as the connecting link of certain
natural Waterways which are undeniably used
for Interstate commerce. another objection
would DO that there are already five distinct
water connections between the great lakes and
the Mississippi River. Hence. even were there
soundncss in the plea that it is part OF the
business Of Congress to break down tho bust
ness Of rail transportation from the West to
the Atlantic by opening at the expense Of the
Treasury. lines OF water transportation
1t would still be a sufficient answer
that five such lines exist. They are
the route by the Wisconsin and Fox Rivers
the Wabash and Erie Canal. the Illinois River
and Illinois and Michigan Canal. the Miami
Canal. and tho Ohio Canal. 1t is further
claimed that even thirty miles above the pro-
posed junction oi the Hennepin Canal with the
river barges would find a shorter route to the

while after a certain distance south OF the

The opponents of flve-cent fares at all
hours on the elevated railroads appear to lose
sight Of good illustration OF the favorable re-
suit OF reduction Of fares from ten to five
cents. A few years ago the Broadway stages
charged ten cents for each passenger. whether
his ride was long or short. When the surface
street cars became the popular mode of con-
veyance at five cents heavy blow was dealt to
the prosperity Of the stages Persons who
wanted to ride a short distance only would not
pay ten cents to ride in the stages when they
could go more eXpeditiously and conveniently
for five cents in a car. The business OF the
stages fell of and the number OF stage lines
--i"~vu ~ tnrrc. Inen inc uiorusvIs of
one OF the lines reduced the fare to five cents
and the other lines were obliged to follow suit.
The effect was almost instantaneous. The
stages were filed. and now any one who rides
regularly in them knows how often he has to
wait before a stage with an empty seat comes
along. The number OF passengers on the ele-
waited railroads would. in all probability. be in
creased in a similar manner by short-distance
passengers il the fare were reduced to Ave
cents at all hours.

The strike of the freight handlers is rapid
ly becoming matter of general concern. Pro-
visions are dear enough now: but If supplies
are to be reduced in quantity because railroads
are unwilling to pay enough wages to hire men
competent to handle their freight. the public
will suffer. 1t is very clear that the work OF the
freight handlers is not unskilled labor. such as
employers can get for about any pay they
choose to give. Whether or not common car
riers have a right to subject the public to loss
and inconvenience, when they can easily get
men to do their work. is question that may be
tested by the butter and cheese dealers who
have had goods spoiled by delay in delivering
them. Such case would be interesting. as
probably it would have the effect of submitting
to the courts the question whether or not the
demands of the strikers We're reasonable.

1t is reported that some concern is felt In
the Treasury Department over an approaching
sale of the effects Of the Columbian Bank Note
Company. That company used to make the
backs and other parts OF Treasury and national
bank notes, and it is feared that at the sale
counterfeiters may be able to purchase pieces
of lathe work and other portions of plates diff
cult to engrave. 1t seems almost incredible
that the Treasury management could have
been so bad as to allow any portions of plates
used In printing currency notes TO be retained
as the property of any corporation or individual.
