Mcntevideo Leader; '"phe people
of this state will never secure equit-
able treatment at the hands of the
railroads, so long as the pooling
system and 'transit system is con-
tlnued as practiced at present, no mat
ter if the carrying trade is deyided be-
tween score instead of half q dozen
such railroads. What we need and
must have to prevent extortion, is
competing lines, rather than more
lines of railroads. The pooling system
drives out competition by uniting all
railroads controlled by it into single
company that monopolizes the entire
business and divides the plumber.
The transit system forbids the ship
per from taking advantage of the
better market and forces him to ship
to and from the farther market, so as
to give the company the benefit of the
long haul.n

The Husbandman: Every man and

has duties beyond self-duties to So
ciety. 1t is not possible to attain
complete happiness while directing
life to selfish purposes for that is
making indirect assault on society
that confers blessings in larger meas
ure than the individual unaided can
possibly find. Civilization is the
triumph of generous impulse, society
its highest product. Selfishness is in
imical to social advancement, an out
growth of inherant baseness of char
acter. Still, there will be hateful sell
fishness in the future as in the past
persons who see no pleasure in any
thing that does not minister to sell
fish enjoyments. The world must
MAKE progress in all that is good
without their aid. Social organiza
tions must be sustained, expanded,
amplified by generous souls that tld
delight in diffusing happiness. Their
influence quickens and WHITES society
as the sun in spring warns the soil
and clothes the earth with gladness.

The Delights Of TobogganIng.

Within the last few years q score of
regular toboggan clubs have been or
ganized in Montreal. Everybody has
gone crazy on the subject, and men,
women, and children revel in the dash
ing fight. The hills are lit by torches
stuck in the snow at each side of the
track, aud huge bonfires are kept burn
ing, around which gather picturesque
groups. Perhaps of all sports of the
carnival this is the most generally en-
joyed by visitors. Some of the slides
are very steep and look dangerous, and
the sensation of rushing down the hill
on the thin strip of Eastwood is one
never to be forgotten.
"How did you like it?" asked a
Canadian girl of an American visitor,
whom she had steered down the steep
est slide.

Training in Amusement.

Oliver Wendell Holmes suggests that
kittens were evidently made to play
with their tails, and we may fairly sup
pose that, If those pliable apendages
were cut of, kittens would do their
best to play with the abbreviated
stumps. Given, however, the fact that
the amusement faculty is there, like
every other faculty it needs education
and direction. While most parents are
solicitous about the health of their
children, and the way it Is affected by
late hours of mild dissipation, is il not
desirable to consider amusements in re-
lation to character as well? Us not
simplicity beautiful in the speech and
manner of childhood, and is it not so
in their dress? That may be pretty
without being snowy, and good with
out marks of extravagance in cost.
When we think how Partisan and other
foreign ideas affect American taste, we
may well deplore the pernicious habit
of spending large sums in most expen-
sive toys for children, and larger sums
on children's costumes. This is ques-
ton, not of beauty, nor of taste, for
these are appropriate in the dress of
childhood. But the selfish waste in
costly garments made for some enter
tainments in which children take part
has to be considered. Providence

RIEI'S REBELLION.
Causes That Have Led to the
Troubles in the Northwest
Territory.
Troops Being Pushed Forward-Feni-
ans Going to the Aid Of
the ReSels.

J. L. Bowen, of Calgary. Northwest Ter
ritory, arrived In Chicago the other day,
and was promptly interviewed. In speak
ing OF the rebellion in Manitoba. Mr.. Bowen
said the residents throughout the North
west are greatly excited, and even at his
place, which is 800 miles west OF the scene
of the present troubles, the people are
making active preparations to resist gen.
eral Indian outbreak. Mr.. Bowen, how
ever, is Of the opinion that the rebels will
not go so far west unless Riel and
his followers should advance in
that direction, in which case
the Blaclxfeet and neighboring Indians,
numbering three thousand fighting men,
might Join In the rebellion with the hope
of securing plumber. The Crees. who are
located in the extreme northwestern part of
the territory, and number fully 1900, he
believes are only waiting for favorable OPP
portunity to join Riel. The latter has al
ready sent emissaries among the three
tribes, and is using every argument to in
duce them to join him. The Blackfeet and
others are poorly equipped for war, but the
Crees have an abundant supply of arms
and ammunition, and if they should attach
themselves to the rebels the outbreak will
become very serious matter. Referring
to the causes of the trouble, MIR.
Bowen said that for some time there
had been general dissatisfaction in
the territory on account of the British Gov
eminent refusing to recognize the land
claims of the actual settlers as against the
governmental grantees. and heretofore the
sympathy had nearly all been with the half
breed settlers. The recent outbreak, how
ever. and the loss of life had reacted against
them. Before that the opinion seemed to
be general that the claim of the half breeds
was just one. and should have been al
lowed by the English Government When
asked about the future action Of Riel, Mr..
Bowen said he believed that Riel would
eventually desert his men and seek safety
for himself in the United States, and that
the Government would present the half
breeds with grant of land, and thus pre-
vent further trouble.

The vessels are expected to attain speed
of at least sixteen knots an hour. The tor
pedo rams have displacement Of about
5000 tons, and are estimated to go about
fifteen knots an hour. They will be armed,

Diaz says:
IL answered Gen. Barrios frankly, con-
demning his act. The Mexican people have
approved of my action. Grave, without
doubt. are the difficulties which this inter-
national emergency may produce on &C
count Of the crisis which now affiicts the

fitting the national honor, and counts on
the patriotic cooperation of Congress to
maintain intact the national honor and in

Capt. Kane,s Course Defended.

There was considerable excitement in
naval circles over the news of the uprising
at Aspinwall, and the burning Of that city.
The censure Of Capt. Kane, of the Galena,
says Washington special, for not firing on
the rebels was regarded by many as unjust,
in the absence of full particulars. Officers
familiar with affairs at Colon-which is the
Colombian name for Aspinwall-say there
is no doubt whatever that Capt Kane must
have been in consultation with the leading
railroad, steamship, and business men Of
that place, and that his movements were
governed by their advice. Had Capt Kane
fired on the rebels and damaged any property,
.ho United states would probably have
been called upon to pay damages. This,
naval officers say, would have caused an
endless amount of claims, for which Capt.
Kane would probably have been court
martialed and dismissed. As the case
stands, the Colombian Government is now
responsible for all the damages inflicted.
Capt. Kane has an excellent record for
bravery. and his friends are confident his
explanations will be satisfactory to his SUI
periors. The activity of Secretary Whit
ney in massing men at Brooklyn to be dis
patched to Aspinwall tomorrow in the Pa
cifc Mail steamship City of Para received
commentator, and there were many vol
unteers for service on the expedition. The
orders issued to-day will place four ships
and SEQ men at Colon.
