A Growl at Pools.

Decatur (IIl.l Herald.
From Decatur lines Of railroad diverge in
twelve directions These lines of railway are
under six different arrangements. To the man
who looks at the map, it would appear that this
is great railroad center and place for low
freights. But the twelve diverging lines and six
Arrangements are all consolidated in one railroad
pool, and we have no competition. In the words
of Hamlet, Look on that picture and then on
this" Do not forget the wrong II we are too
cowardly and have too little individual manhood
to correct the evil, it will be manly nevertheless
to feel the shame Of the situation.

A Timely Reform.

Philadelphia Times.
Railroad men are making ready to do very
important as well as q very sensible thing, name
ly, to prepare series of railroad signals which
will be understood on any road in the country.
The magnitude of this reform can be appreciated
when it is known that an ex-employe of the
Pennsylvania railroad who should get a job on a
Baltimore g. Ohio train would have to learn
new set of signals. and that on some roads to
swing lantern backward and forward means
Ego ahead" while in others it means sback." A
trainman who goes from the service of one road
TO that of another needs an unusually cool head
to give the right signal in every case without
confusing the new and the old, and the adoption
of perfectly uniform system would doubtless
promote the general safety of the travelling pub
lie, however well it is already cared for by the
more progressive corporations.

Favorable Report from the Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia special.
1t is very likely that the favorable statement
Of the Pennsylvania railroad for June, which
shows an increase in earnings of SAL 900. will
have good deal of effect in New York and Lon
don. Such a marked improvement indicates
that business in all it's branches is better, and
that railroad property is rapidly improving in
value It Is certainly remarkable that in usu-
ally dull month great road like the Pennsyl-
800, 600 per week. Other lines are also show
ing handsome increases In earnings. and it is ex-
ceptional when the weekly reports show de-
crease. 1t certainly looks as if the railroads of
the country were recovering from the long pc.
Rod of depression.

Railroads Cannot Sell Coal.

The Railroad and Warehouse Commission has
decided in the case of Alexander Helm against
the Illinois, Indiana & Iowa road that railroad
company has no right to sell coal The COM
plant charged that the railroad company gave to
a Kankakee dealer named Schafer lower rate
on coal transported from Streator than it gave to
other Kankakee dealers. The road replied that
il made no discrimination in rates between deal
ers but that it sold coal bought at Streator to
some Kankakee dealers at lower price than to
others because OF the quantity they purchase.
The Commission finds that the company has no
right to buy and sell in the public market, and
that its action in this is in fact discrimina
ton and violation Of the statute. It directs
the Attorney general to bring suit against the
company to collect the penalty prescribed by
law.

BRING 1T BEFORE THE HOUSE.

1t is an irritating fact to the friends
OF the Blair educational bill, and their
name is legion, that though it could
command a fair majority in the House
Of Representatives, it is not likely to be
brought up this session, because its enc
mics have struggled it in the committee
rooms.
There is only one remedy for this
trickery, and that is for the people and
press to growl about it and howl about
it and keep up an eternal complaint
until it is brought up for square vote.
Though there may be no hope for the
enactment OF the law this session, the
present Congress sits again next De-
cember, and it may be passed then.
1t is a measure that promises much
practical good for the South, and this
section can 7 afford that it be lost through
the shrewd manipulation of parliament
tary law.
Every newspaper in the country that
favors the bill should speak out on the
subject, and the people should make
themselves heard from. All its friends
ask is fair hearing, and that much
they should demand that it have.

THE AUGUST STOCK SHOW.

We publish elsewhere the report of
the proceedings of the Farmers Execu-
tive Committee at the cave last Satur-
day.
The farmers are making fine start
this year and expect the coming re-
union and stock show to excel all of its
predecessors. To this end they should
have the cooperation OF all the farmers
in Montgomery county and throughout
the GAINESVILLE tobacco dristrict.
The chief object OF these annual
meetings is to promote the interest in
stock raising and that is most common
dable, There is nothing that will more
enhance the general farming interest;
of this section than an improvement in
the stock raised and more attention tc
stock raising as business.
We have heard it urged by sensible
and practical farmer, that every farmer
can make it pay to raise stock, if for nj
other purpose but to produce fertilizer
Certainly the amount OF commercial
fertilizers that are bought every yeal
would seem to argue this. The time
has come when home manures mus
be saved and made use Of. The use o
commercial fertilizers generally means
that small spots win be made rich while
he greater portion OF the cleared lane

in the country be permitted to grow
thin, sterile and non-productiye.
The remedy for this is in finding a
cheap fertilizer and that can be done
when the farmer gives good portion
OF his attention TO stock raising.
Besides promoting an interest in
stock these reunions are in many ways
profitable and their social features most
agreeable. We hope there will be a
general participation in the coming
show and that it will prove a great sue

People who believe that cyclones and

quent and more violent now than they
used to be can find confirmation Of
their views in the following which we

E. Church, thinks that while the white
man has done good deal for the world,
he is carrying things trlfle too far in
the matter Of utilizing electricity for
the various purposes to which it is now

the electric light, and points to recent
floods, hurricanes, cyclones and other
atmospheric disturbances as the direct
result OF unbalancing air-currents, "
which he charges to electric influences

Tightening is Gods machine" and
sounds warning for man to keep his
hands off.
