The suburbs of Philadelphia are benefited by the new high license act as well as the heart of the city. The fate of the applicants for leave to sell liquor under the new high license act in five of the outskirt wards has been made public. Out of 5S1 of them, get leave to withdraw. and four get notice that their cases will be further considered. Only 34 licenses are granted for the German town, Chestnut Hill and old Bristol town ship district, an area of IS square miles, while for Frankford and beyond as far as the Bucks lins-an area of, say, 42 square miles the judges grant exactly 29.

A. de Bausett's air ship will consist of a cigar-shaped metallic vessel, having air-tight compartments from which the air will be ex- hausted. It will then rise of it's own buoy ancy and sustain considerable burden. The vessel will be provided with an electrical en- zine for propulsion, steering, rising and fall-
 ing. The bill now before Congress provides
 that the vessel shall be built in one of the
 government navy yards, but that no money
 shall be paid the builder until $75, ,000 has
 been expended and satisfactory progress is
 shown. and the balance after satisfactory tests. If the bill becomes law the United States government will be the first to build vessel to navigate the air.

There Is reason to believe that fair-haired women are at slight discount in the matri- monial market, says the London Hospital. "Statistics would seem to show that brunettes are more successful in obtaining husbands in the proportion of about three to two.
 Poets have proverbial preference for fair hair; no poem is complete without aaxen- haired maid; but prosaic mortals in search of wife seem, upon the whole, to prefer the brown and the black. According to Dr. Beddoe, the result of this tconjugal selec- tion' appears to be that in some parts of Engl and fair hair is slowly disappearing, while dark hair is becoming more prevalent" :"

A DECENT CAMPAIGN.

The recent campaign hiss been ID
cleaneet and most decent Of the pai
five CT tx Those reckless and shame
less assaults on private life and charso
ter, uncailed for and uDfoundsd, that
have characterized recent presidential
campaigns and made them reproacl
to an intelligent people and almost q
disgrace to the country, have been en-
tirely absent. The press and the stunS
have rightly directed their efforts to i.
discussion OF the great question, that G,
tariff policy, which the president
brought before the country in his en-
nual message, and such other question:
as the times and the administration have
called up.
The press and the stump have eL
r,ercifuly assailed and ridiculed the
craftsmanship of one candidate and
arrogated to the other high order o!
that gift etc, etc, according to theiJ
political We've, which is natural and
reasonable. But there hiss been, We
are glad to say, comparatively little Of
the wholesale assaults on private and
personal character which marked the
presidential contest Of 1884.
The people have estimated PTzident
Cleveland from his administration, and
bis policy from his message and from
the platform Of his party. General
Harrison has besn estimated from his
career as public man, from his recent
speeches to visiting delegations and
from the platform and history OF the
party which nominated him.
While naturally republicans arc
pleased at the outcome Of the campaign
and democrats displsased, all viii admit
that it has been a decent campaign and

| points between, tie At.e.;ic coast end
tie Missouri river 20 tie Pacific cossi
cities. Fer s1agpie, the roads can no:
charge moro, under this section Of thu
lag, than on business from tho Atlantic
coast cities, tEe rates for which, in point
of fact, they are compelled to make lower
than fairness aad equity would name. in
order to meet the competition Of the wa
ter carriers. Blu. under the law, they
are forced to apply this low rate, which
they must make to get sesboard brsi-
ness, to their other traffic. The actual
cost OF railroad transportation ia much
greater than the cost Of water transport
alton and il is more valuable as it is
quicker. But On account Of competi-
ton. which the interstate Lev does rot
affect, the ros1s are unable to charge
proportionateiy higher rates, on account
OF increased expense in operating ~
added value Of the service, either on
ssabosrd business, or On business from
one seaboard to paints inland from the
other.
The operation Of the interstate lew
works so manifestly uniustly to these
roads that it seems es if they rhoull be
permitted to make many Of their rates
without regard to the operation of this
section, OF course under the eye of the
commission, which could zee that neith-
er localities or individuals were discrim-
mated against, should the carriers ut.
tempt to do SO.
The law, Is it now stands, likewise op-
crates against individuals and localities,
in some instances. For example, Pacific
coast manufacturers suffer from rivalry
with eastern manufacturers Oh account
of the low rates forced by the water car
riers, which often reaches the destructive
point.
The interstate law was framed to reg
ulate interstate commerce, not to destroy
it or to destroy the carriers. The rsil-
roads have rights, just as well as the
people. And it is contrary to right and
justice that the law should force them to
do losing business. Il would certain
ly be for the public good if the
laws operations in regard to them
could be stayed or modified. They
ought to live and have a right to liva
and it is the duty OF the interstate com
mission, or of congress, if the commits
sion does not have the power, to modify
or change the law to promote III. P.

jor Joseph X. Hudson OF tho Capital
for $4,000, and the new paper will be
named as ebovs. Hr. Baker has besn
leading man in Kansas journalism
twenty-six years, beginning with the
State Record. He paid SIS, 900 for the
Commonwealth fourteen years ago.
remember coming down the steps of the
State House that day and meeting him
coming up. Fe stopped me, told me
what Col. Veals asked for the paper and
wanted to know what thought about
it. The reply was, ''You know that il
you ownei the Commonwealth ysu
would not sell it for any such price," he
laughed and went on. Father Baker is
very shrewd business man. Of great
energy, and he never despairs or gives
up. He has seen days OF darkness ard
poverty but he aud his noble wife have
worked On just the same. As an edito,
he has been clear headed and sagacious.
You could not call at his of1ics and tsIS
with him ten minutes without learning
something new on politics, state and
national. And leading republicans
from all psrts of the state have been
calling on him for the last quarter Of a
century. His knowledge OF men aud OF
public questions, his forecasts of cleo
tons, his familiarity with newspapers
ard editors-these aud other character
istics have made him marked and in
flnential man. His kindness of heart
and his aid to young newspaper men
have made him warm friends. He has
been the chief Kansas adviser of our
delegation in congress. Ii sll the letters
from senators and members to Father
Baker had been saved they would make
volumns Of secret history. He knew all
OF tn political secrets. BE has brought
up bis boys to work. The three, Nesicr,
Clifford and Isaac, are as hard workers
rs he is. Clifford is the state printer.
The others, with Mr.. Baker, have
enough on their hands now. The sals
OF the paper DOES not include any
presses, tvpe Or material. These are
needed 10 the cid Office. Tho Kansas
Newspaper Union now publishes about
200 patent outside newspapers, m i'm

THE TRaNSCONTINENTAL LINES AND
THE INrER-sTATE LAW.

The trsreccntinental lines OF railway
ara severlv Disseminated against in The
operations of the interstate commefcs
law.
Under the fourth section of this act
, railways are prohibited from charging
more for short thsn for long haul
over the same line o; road. At first
glance, this provision would appear to
be entirely just-a very proper regula-
ton and one which violation of would
be manifest discrimination. Anpsr-
emily if any railway can sfford to haul q
car OF freight 1000 milee for a certain
sum, it oueht to be sble to afford to haul
a Car load OF the same freight over por
ton OF that distance at rate at least no
higher.
The actual operation Of this section O:
law in the case Of the trsnscontinental
roads however, shows that this seemingly
fair regulation works as very burden
some discrimination against these rail-
roads and also against localities and indi-
viduals in some instances. instead Of pro-
tecting and subserving the interests Of all
three, az intended.
Forty per cent Of the revenue derived
from the traffic handled BY the trans
continental lines comes from sesboard
business-.he freight hauled between
the Atlantis and the Pacific coast sea-
boards. The railway linee, to get this
business, are compelled to compete with
water transportation in the form of clip
per ships, Of which there are several
lines operating between the Atlantic and
the Pacific coast cities and which sre not
subject to the provisions Of the inter state
law. In competing with the clipper
lines for this seaboard business without
which the transcontinental lines could not
live, The roads are compelled to mako very
low through rates on buainees xaEs
