4CRYIyG NECESSITY.

In discussing the census statistics pre-
scented by Gen. WALKER, relating to the IN
equal distribution of the male aud female
population of the country, the Chicago
Times suggest the establishment Of an equal
ization board "whose duty 1t should be to Sc
cure an even distribution of marriageable
women over masculine territories. A few
maps modelled after those which give the dis
tribution of plants would do the business.
In areas where there is a scarcity of women
there should be sent 100 women TO each
1903 $40 men. This would equalze distrib-
setts of $4,000 surplus pairs of spec
tacles and the same number of pairs
of blue hose, and reduce the femi-
nine excess of large cities to proper
dimensions. The desirablity of securing
women for wives is proved by WALKERS sta
tistics; they furnish fewer paupers than the
males; they send to the prisons less thar
one-teuth as many as the other sex; there
is but one-flfth as many female as male
drunkards, and in the matter of self-de-
structiou four times SO many men as women
voluntarily "Shuffie off this mortal coil" All
these facts go 10 prove the value OF women
and their superiority over men; hence the
desirability Of marriage and the necessity of
one of them husband. board of euuali-
cation seems to Re the only feasible remedy

JEFFERSOvI4N SIMPLICITY.
The PHILADELPHIA Record Und.) SAYS:

'.THoMAs JEFFERSON it will probably be ad-
mitted was pretty good sort Of a Democrat and
not an Indifferent friend Of an effective nom
partisan ciyilservice When JEFFERSON went
int Office he found all the places Of government,
big and little, in the possession Of the opponents
Of the Democratic party. Although hostile to the
spells policy, Mr.. JEFFERSON proceeded to
make removals from office in order to re-
lieve the government of its proscriptive
partisan character. The situation is now pre-
cisely what it was in 1901. In all the vast ad-
ministrative departments Of government mem
bers of the prescribed party are nowhere to be
found, except few who have suddenly turned
up since the November election. 1t will require,
then, great many removals from office before
the equilibrium is restored and before party pro-
scription is itself prescribed. What better way
to prescribe prescription than by removing Off
cials wbs have used their places to promote par
tisan ends, and who have roamed about the
country making offensive partisan speeches to
save their offices while neglecting their duties?"

Saturday was the uinetirth anniversary of
Camp Meet ny" John Aliens birth, and
on Sunday evening he preached in DR.. Cullis'
church On Beacon Hill place. He was arrayed
III MS customary suit of plain black clothes,
with high, old-fashioned white stock encir-
cling his neck. The gray hair, still quite
thick, stands straight from his head in all di-
rections, and as he spoke he frequently ran
his hand over and through it, The color of
his face is almost bronze, and from the
buttonhole next but one to the top of his
vest to the upper pocket on the
left side hangs the heavy watch-chain. He
repeats the Scriptures instead of reading
them, and when he breaches he pounds the
pulpit and the Bible with his right fist yigor-
ously. He uses quaint phrases and even
quainter illustrations to his points and speaks
withal most clearly and distinctly. He told
last Sunday evening of his conversion, which
occurred ffty-nine years ago last June at a
camp-meeting down in Maine. Since that
time he has attended nearly six-hundred
such gatherings. He told how he had first
been brought to realizing sense of his posi-
ton and condition, and how, to use his own
words, ''he went there a swearing man and
came back shouting Methodist" When be
was converted he leaped into the air two feet,
that is so his wife told him, for he had no
knowledge OF it himself, and shouted GLORY
to God" People pronounced him crazy, but
he said that if it was arrangement he hoped
it would hold on and it did, and it has not
all gone yet.

A NATTER OF VERY GREAT IMPORT
ANCE

Mt. HATToN. just before he went out Of Office,
closed several contracts forthe transportation of
mails in the West that very unsatisfactory to
some sections of the Northwest. Col. Villas
has not a moment to consi der these contracts
but will give his attention for the present to
matters regarded as OF greater Importance
Pittsburg Post.
We can't.conceivc of anything OF greater
importance than to right wrong, nor do we
know of any business connected with the
postofti department of more consequence
than to have the public provided with an ex-
peditIous mail service. We do not think
Col. Villas is a man to subordinate the pub
lie interest to the mere routine work of his
department or to listening to the clamorous
appeals of oflice-seekers. The Northwest is
an important section of the Union, and de-
serves as much consideration at the hands
Of the departments as any other section, and
we can see no reason why the postmaster
general should not promptly redress tie
gross outrage that Mr. HATToN perpetrated
upon the Northwest in the matter of its mail
service.

No danger is apprehended this season
from the breaking up of the river along the
Northern Pacific route. The ice on the yell
lowstone and Heart rivers went out a few
days since. The ice on the Missouri river is
in statu quo. 1t is four feet thick this year,
a foot thicker than it has yer been before
Extra precautions have been taken by the
Northern Pacific to guard again any acct
dent to the bridge spanning the river or the
delay of trains. Last year when the river
broke up the water rose to such hight that
the track was covered by foot or two Of
water. This year the track was raised on
trestle work on the approach to the bridge,
and series of dykes built to keep the water

Changing the Route.

The action of the Union Pacific in order
ing its through business to the Pacific coast
by the Oregon Short line to Huntington, and
thence by rail and steamship over the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company's lines to San
Francisco, has caused quite surprise to
railroad men who have taken any interest in
the Transcontinen association. This ag-
gressive action against the Central Pacific is
because of the latter's refusal to take business
from the former or any other line except
at local rates. While this as yet
only effects seaboard freight, it is
believed in the event of a war, Chicago
freight controlled by the Union Pacific would
be ordered over the same route on the priu-
cipal of cutting off all possible supplies from
the Central Pacific. The Union Pacific claims
that its Oregon short line with its connec-
tons is fully as advantageous as the sunset
and can be utilized to equal advantage.
This version of the Union Pacific road is
thought to be only scheme to influence the
representatives of the Transcontineutal as
sociation, who are in session at Denver.

Hoac to Secure the Traffic.

Before the emigration season is far adj
vanced, the roads northwest from Chicago
may perhaps see the necessity of making
stronger efforts to compete with the Canadian
Pacific road. At the meeting in Chicago
some time ago it was decided to make emf
grant rates from Chicago to Winnipeg $50.
This makes the rates from Liverpool to Win
nipes $50, the figures being Liverpool to
New York, SIS; New York to Chicago via the
Pennsylvania, 81; Chicagoto Winnipeg, $40.
Although a rate of 81 is made from New
York to Chicago, the Canadian Pacific on its
long haul can discount this by giving a rate
from Liverpool TO Winnipeg of S25 in con
nection with the Allen Steamship company.
the only way these rates could be met would
be for the Milwaukee, Omaha and the Rock
Island roads to make rate of SIS from
Chicago to st. Paul, and the Manitoba road
would carry all emigrants from there to the
border for SIS, and the Canadian Pacific in
lieu of its agreement at Chicago would be
bound to carry them to WINNIPEG for 81.
This would give a rate from New York to
Winnipeg of S12, the same as the Canadian
Pacific charges from Montreal via its lake

Detroit is Sc, from Detroit to Buffalo So, and
from Buffalo to New York So. 50-just 50 less
than the through rate. Almost a similar
condition prevails on the Baltimore 81 Ohio;
the rate locally being less than the through
tariff sought to be put in effect. Accordin ely
meeting OF the Chicago trunk line commits
sioners was held in this city to-day to con-
slider these unforeseen obstacles. A resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted to restore all
local rates wherever their com bined totals
were less in amount than the through tariff
rates. This smooths away all difficulties and
leaves nothing to interfere with the worhdn gs
OF the advance, so long as good faith is
kept in carrying out the agreement. All
members were present, with the exception
of c. l.. Lord of the Baltimore & Ohio; Mr..
Adams acting for him and voting subject to
his approval. Mr.. Lord was informed by
wire of the commissioners action and will
doubtless ratify it. The same harmonious
spirit prevailed as at the former meeting,
each one seeming anxious to carry out the
agreement in good faith, leaving to the
future the settlement of more vexed prob
lens upon which they have heretofore
radically differed. The subject of commits
sions was brought up, but no action was
taken beyond leaving each road to take
care of its tickets ard arrange with its
agents

Ynei, Condition Enbarrassi,,o

The Oregon improvement company has a
floating debt of about 100000 which is en-
barrassing to its credit, and the directors are
devising means for its removal. The COM
pany now has mortgage debt of S., 000,0 900,
upon which the interest charges are $685..
600. The net earnings of the company in
an average seasons business are about $780,,
900. 1t is proposed to increase the present
first mortgage $4,000 or to make second
mortgage for an amount sufficient to retire
the floating debts from the proceeds of the
bonds. An increase in amount of
the first mortgage is not favored by the bond
holders, neither do they manifest desire to
take second mortgage unless accompanied
by inducements and guarantees the com
pany is not inclined to concede. The in
crease in the first mortgage necessary to re-
move the floating debt would add but s42, 600
to the fixed charges, making the total annual
interest 1861, 900, an amount that the earn
ings of tine company seem ample to provide
for. 1t is well known in railroad circles
that the company is hard up and something
must be done, and that quickly to redeem
its standing.
