LONG AND SHORT HAULs

The compromise interstate commerce
bill agreed upon by the conference commit
tee representing the two branches of con-
gress provides that railway company shall
not charge more for short haul than for a
long one. The proposition is one of such
manifest fairness that it is wonder that
legislation is necessary to secure it. yet it is
singular fact that the railway managers
fought that very provision more strenuously
than any other. The only reason that they
have ever assigned for wanting the privi-
lege of charging less for long haul than a
short one was that in the transportation of
through freight it enabled railway CON-
pany to meet competition at terminal
points. If that were true, the question
would still be an open one whether the
public interest should be made to suffer
and the principle of fairness be sacrificed
in order that a railway corporation might
be able to survive competition. But it is
not true. By the present plan of pooling
there is no such competition among railway
companies. If the necessity ever did exist
it does not exist now. And yet it is safe
to assume that the railway corporations
will continue to fight that provision as Wig
orously as ever. And with the immense
influence that they have in the senate there
is possibility that no interstate commerce
will pass this congress. But there will be
a congress in the near future when such a
bill will pass, and it will be the right sort
of a bill at that

HONE MISSIONARY WORK.

The refusal of the Chinese government to
their labors in the interior of that far off
country might be we'll taken by those zeal
Gus gentlemen as a hint that there are
places nearer home where their efforts
might be put forth to good advantage.
Missionary work. like charity. should begin
at home, and there is certainly as good a
field for its prosecution in the large cities of
this country as there is beneath the burning
sun of tropical and semi-tropical regions.
Where crime runs iiot and young children
are brought up subjected to the vicious in
fluenee of evil surroundings, where the
Bible and the school book are alike almost
unknown, there the earnest laborer who seeks
to save the souls of mankind can find
far more fruitful field than among those
whose intelligence is not sufficient to under
stand the promises held forth to them by
the religion which the missionary teaches.
In home missions, TOO, the results are more
direct and the benefit to society at large
more marked. They have in the past been
too much subordinated to the work abroad.
and if the somewhat rude check which the
Chinese have put upon the latter results in
the former receiving the attention they
merit, it will not be matter calling for
great deal of regret. The home mission
aries have, of course. done well in the past,
but the scope is broad one and the work
ers have been all too few.

why BeriiOz Disiiked Wagner.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Hector Berlioz, whose statue has just
been inangurated in Paris, had violent
hatred of Wagner. 1t arose out of simple
jealousy. One day BerliOZ went to tie re-
ceptiOn at the TuilierieS and had the honor
of a chat with the emperor, who inquired
about his opera, Lies TrOyenS." adding
that he should like to have a look at it.
Berlioz. transported with joy, resolved to
demand an audience of his imperial
majesty. and looked forward to the speedy
production of his work at the opera. But
days and weeks passed by and no news
came. Suddenly one morning he was
startled by the announcement that, in pur-
suance of imperial orders, the ''Tannhauser'
of Wagner was to be immediately brought
out at the opera. Berioz immediately
flew into passion, and from that moment
spent all his bile on Wagner. He attacked
him right and left on every occasion.

DNTAXED CLOTHING.

While the protection ductrinaires con-
tinue to myStify and complicate the tariff
question with their fnespun theories, the
secretary of the treasury unravels the
whole problem so that it can be understood
By the humblest citizen, when he recon-
mends to congress that it confer upon the
wage-earners of the United States the boon
Of untaxed clothing. Mr.. MANNING
asserts that by freeing their clothing OF
taxes the wage-earners will have the eX-
penses for one of the three great necessities
of life reduced by One-half, which will to
that extent enlarge honestly and justly the
income of every wage-earner in the cOun-
try. As every laboring man knows from
experience, the matter of providing cloth
ing for himself and family is one of the
heaviest expenses he has to incur. Under
our existing tariff laws the revenue realized
by the government from the duty on raw
wool is an insignificant sum, amounting to
onlv a fraction over $4,000, 900 annually.
Yet the tariff on that article has the effect
of doubling the cost of wooden articles. The
people paw an enormous tax without any
perceptible benefit TO the government The
tax goes into the pockets of the manu-
faeturers. This wrong upon the laborlng
people is such an aggravation that it is
difficult to speak of it in terms of modera-
ton. 1t is crying burning infamy. And
the same is true of the whole system of
federal taxation. Under the existing syS-

Ericsson,s solar Engine.

New \ DIRK. Dec. 1O.-The statement is
published that Capt Ericsson, the inventor
of the Monitor, has completed and has in

heat from the SUMS rays. The rays are

AVOID EXPOSURE-

Weather sermons are so common people
do not pay proper attention to them. But
at the risk of having the chestnut bell rung
on it the GLOBE ventures another sugges-
ton relative to the danger of exposure
during the trying change of temperature
such as we have been experiencing the last
week. From twenty degrees below zero
last week we have undergone change OF
temperature to forty degrees above. A
change of sixty degrees in one week is ex-
ceedingly trying On the human system, and
it is all the more so when the air is heavily
laden with moisture. First of all remem-
Der to keep the feet warm and dry. The
chest and back should be well protected.
There is nothing so effective for this pur-
pose as wooden underwear. Unc0mfOrta-
Bile heat is a great temptation to remove the
heavy underwear worn in the extremely
cold weather. Do not be deceived into
doing it. The warm weather may be I'M
comfortable, but remember that improper
exposure to cold will certainly plant the
| seeds of disease that will shorten life. Ii
is even more necessary to protect the body
in tine warm damp weather, such as we are
now experiencing than it is in the biting
cold weather when the air is dry.
