NATURAL GAS AND RAILROAD
y DISCRIMINATION.

NATURAL GAS AND RAILROAD
DISCRIMINATION.
The action of the Middle and Western
States Freight Association in passing this
resolution viii place shippers at great
disadvantage:
Neither this company nor any such
other carrier shall be liable for any loss or
damage to said property by dangers OF ac-
cidents incident 10 railroad transportation,
or by fires or floods while at depots, sta
lions, yards, landings, warehouses, or in
transit And said property is to be carried
at owners risk Of breakage, chatting, loss
in weight, or loss or damage caused By
changes in the weather or heat, frost, wet
or delay, and fanny portion of route TO
destination is by water, Of all dangers in
cident 20 transportation.
Another very Objectional feature is the
raising Of the rates from between 40 cents
to 81 per ton from Wheeling, Pittsburg,
and Buffalo to Chicago, and other points in
the West. The rates from Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston to points
in the West were not raised This is an
other dose of railroad discrimination and
Wheeling gets afull share ofik q
The Pittsburg Dispdteh attributes this
discrimination against these three cities,
to natural gas 1t says, ''it has long been
the sole policy of railroad management
whenever possible to make an industry or
locality payall it could bear, and "a the
railroad freight agents have heard that
business is good in Pittsburg. Wheeling

MIR. GEORGES NEW DEMOCRACY

MIR. GEORGES NEW DEMOCRACY.
According to Mr.. HENRY GEORGE "a
democracy is q government that recOg-
nizes the equal rights of all people to all
things created for their use, rs the earth,
air, light and water, and at the same time
protects the life, liberty and property Of
each individual. That was the true def
milton of democracy to which the future
belongs. All over the world new fire is
burning. The hewers of wood and the
drawers of water are becoming bitterly
dissatisfied. No man is really a free man
Unless he is an independent man, which
he is not now. The present system gives
man hardly time to think. There are
talents the most splendid which are now
going to waste. This scramble for wealth,
this gamble, give q few men more than
they could produce by the application of
all their productive powers, let them be
ever so great, while to the many it means
poverty. In the new democracy these in
justices would be done away with"
This sounds as sweet rs poetry. And u
better day is no doubt coming. But it is
s nOt likely in the new demOcracy"Mr,
GEORGE speake OF, that men will yet be as
righteous as angels o. can yet be carried
through life on flOwery beds of ease and
have access to never failing free lunch
table where angels food is served up in
any style wished. So long as men are men
this scramble for wealth" that Mr..
GEORGE deplOres viii continue and they
will have to earn their bread by the sweat
of their browS. While men, as Mr..
GEORGE says, have equal rights to things
created for their use" by the Creator, the
fact viii still remain that every man has
right to the products of his toll whether he
consumes them in n day, or by economy
and good management lays them by for
use and comfort in future years, or invests
in a piece of land on which to build q
home for himself and family.

ONLY HALF ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women who, to
coin phrase. are only half alive. That is to
say they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous weak, fidgetty and troubled by num-
berless small pains and aches. In the presence
of vigorous, exuberant vitality they seem mere
pigmies. Such persons are usually fond OF
frequently dosing themselves, swallowing in
the course of the year enough drugs TO stock
any apothecary's shop of average dimensions.

The Great Composer Disappoints His
Mother, But Reaches His Goal.
Once l heard him relate the story of
his early difficulties. His mother was
poor, but tried to educate her sons. He,
Charles, suffered to see her working
day and night in order to give him an
education, and did not like to disap-
point her.
The mother wished him to enter the
normal school, but he knew he must be
a musician. He told her his plans, and
she replied: care you seriousP"
"Ccrtainly."
"You will not go to the normal
SCHOOL,"
Never"
"And you intend to go whereof"
"To the Conservatory of Music"
1T is my turn to say never"
The poor woman was beside herself
because of the gesture of decision made
by her son, and continues: 1--WE shall
see. Your studies will be doubled. II
in drawing lots you are unlucky and
become soldier, shall not pay for a
substitute. Rather q thousand times
that my son shoulder gun than be-

genius, II shall double my lessons,
because you wish it; but shall not be-
come soldier, because do not wish
it,"
"What will dOp'
al shall be exempted because | shall
have gained the Grand Prix de Rome. y
The mother called to her aid the dean
of the college. He sent for young Gou-
nod, and said to him: ''Do you wish to
be musicianp"
Eyes, sir" dryly responded the cul-
prit.
Pooh! music is not profession. "

with the music.

his Judge. The dean was conquered
tears ran down his cheeks as he tool
Gounod in his arms and said: "Be

The mother was obliged to submit
but in taking her son to his first teach
