In his long and bittor fights with Tom
Scott aud Commodore Vanderbilt John
w. Garrett demonstrated the immoasur.
able superiority of his system over any
other. He could cut rates closer and 40
longer with less damage than any com.
potitor because OF tho fact that he was
not forced to keep tho throttle pulled
back and eyory wheel moving without
rest. lie had no enormous interest ac-
count to meet, no leases to pay, and no
extravagant salary list to keep up As
consequence, ho camo out Of every fight
with flying colors, and no line has cared
to iuaugurato fight with tho Baltimore
and Ohio for many years. 1t can tire out
any enemy or competitor without worry
ing in the slightest. Mr.. CARROTS course
proved the greatness and breadth of his
mind. A man of smaller caliber and less
honor, situated Us he was, would have
tried to build up his personal fortune at
the expense of the shareholders. Mr.
Garrett whose self-conidence was somo.
thing remarkable, adopted different
plan. lie developed tho property put in
his charge and invested his personal ac-
emulation in its stock. lie lived to find
himself the owner of controlling inter-
est in tho company. If his son, Robert
Garrett, pursues the same policy, as he is
likely to do, the.John w. Garrett heirs will
ere long become absolute owners in en-
tircty to mathematical certainty. This
problem Of ownership is not difficult OF
solution. The Garrett estate may exceed
Vaudorbilts saccumulations in the lifotime
of the heirs now living.

FARMERS genorally are aware Of the
Importance of the homo markets for their
products that is furnished by the mypiads
of persons engaged in protected industries,
but very few farmers knov that the repub-
lican tariff system also benefits them by
directly protecting tho result Of their Ia
Dor against foreign competition. A very
good illustration Of this statement is af-
ford Nd in the single item Of peanuts, In
Virginia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and
Georgia thousands of small farmers derive
their living from tho cultivation and sale
of the popular 'goober." To them it ia
the most important crop grown, for from
it comes all they have of food, clothing,
home comforts, and the education Of their
offspring. Consequently any considerable
importation of tho nuts from abroad
would affect them seriously. But tho
present tariff laws impose duty equiva-
lent to over twenty per cent, and the
peanut growers of the states named are
thereby protected from the strong COM
petition Of the African and West Indian
nuts that would certainly be largely i'm
ported if it was not for this import tax.
There is not "a poor man in Virginia who
depends upon the sale of his peanut cror
for his main support who is not directly
interested in the continuance of the re-
publican policy of protection, and to
whom the Inauguration of the democratic
policy of free trade would not prove dis
astrOus.

A copy Of tho San Francisco Weekly

Two or three weeks ago It was tclcgraphed
here from the east that Mrs. II. Lockwood, 0'
Washington, had accepted nominatoT as
president OF the United States rendered by a
national convention of woman srhragists,
which is said to have met in SAP Francisco.

ment os authontic-the original nomina-
tior at tho hands of six San Francisco

IA cunning scheme to advertise firm OF
sharp claim and pension agents, and as
sumo that she received and accepted the
nomination in good faith 1t is not known
that she instituted searching inquiries rs
to the source of tho nomination, but she
cannot be blamed for having neglected
such precaution. Neither Cleveland,
Blaine, Butler, nor st. John went to that

CITIES IN THE MOON.
The Very Entertaining story OF Dr.
Blcndmonn's Alleged wonderful
Discoveries

NCtUslOrk Sun,
A letter from Berlin to n prominent
gontlomau of this city contains very
interesting communication concerning
the alleged discoveries by DIR. Blend
mann professor in tho Royal Academy
in Berlin, of evidences that tho moon is
inhabited. DR.. Blendmann processes TO
havo discovered that tho telescope Oh
sorvations made up to tho present time
have given negative result on account
of the excessive light that irradiates from
the lunar disk, which prevents an exact
examination of tho surface. DIR. Blend
mann softened the light by using the cou-
densed smoke OF camphOr. He had to
mako hundreds of trials before finding
the exact measure of softeuing required
to obtain perfect image of tho moon.
Hc then took with rejecting telescope
very detailed and correct Photographic
view of tho disk of the moon, which he
aiterward exposed under powerful solar
microscope. Tho circle obtained in the
photograph had in the microscope an ap-
parent diameter of over thirty y.threc feet.
In this way, tho story Is, ho was able to
perceive that what have boon believed to
be seas are really regions covered with
rich vegetation, and what have always
been taken for mountainous regions are
deserts and seas. Ono can see, the letter
says, with striking distinctness cities,
towns, and Villages aud there arc strong
indications of industry and commerce.
With fall moon DIR. Blendmann has
obtained Photographic views so distinct
that they indicate that if larger telescopes
could be used the discovery would be still
moro completely confirmed.

pies.

John w. CARROTS management of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad shows what
can be done with railroad property han
died as cautious, big-brained merchants,
Nconduct their private business. For
tWenty.siX years the Baltimore and Ohio
has been managed on business principles
and mark the result. From condition
of bankruptcy it has been developed and
its, traffic nourished and built up until its
stoGk is quoted at about 200, with none to
be bad at that figure, owners holding it
far beyond the reach of outside investors,
While other railroad companies were
watering their stock and bonding their
lines to the limit to raise money with which
to make extensions, erect costly depOts
and lease non-productive feeders at ruin
Gus terms, John W. Garrett held to tho most
conservative policy possible, contracting
few debts, oconomizing In every practi-
cable way, but at tho same time bearing
in mind that tho grand purpose Of a rail
road is to get business. Economical, and
even close, as he was in the conduct Of his
road, no never carried economy TO such
an extent that it interfered with the
natural growth Of the property, or in any
way hamperod its business.
When no wanted new line no built II
at the minimum cost, with the company's
own money, dispensing with inside con-
struCtiou companies, and doing the work
with his own men. Thore was no giving
of contracts ut fancy figures TO dummy
bidders representing John w. Garrett.
East freight line companies, another device
oil dishonest managers to rob stOckhold-
ers by dividing the prohts Of tratllc with
corporations formed for persona! advan-
tage of such unfaithful officers, never
found favor in tho eyes Of the dictator OF
the baltimore and Ohio. Every cent the
company made wont into the company 8
treasury. 1t did its own express and
freight business, built its own cars and
locomotives, bored its own tunnels, con-
structed its own bridges, made its own
iron and steol rails, owned and operated It's
own telegraph lines and for u time owned
limo of ocean steamships, and did its
own repairing. There was no such word
as "middleman" in the Baltimore and
Ohio lexicon, and no device for distri-
button Of the profits Of the business to
men not stockholders was known in the
economy Of the road.
A controlling interest in tho vast sys
tem is now vested absolutely in tho Gar
Iett family, and there is no probability
Of change in the general plan Of man
