This. as will be seen, gives Republican
majority of seven. 1t comedies the Symonds
district in South Carolina and the Atkinson
district in West Virginia to the Democrats.
Both Of these are still claimed by the Repub-
licans, and both may be finally awarded to
them. The table gives the Republicans the
following Southern districts which have
been in doubt: Coleman's in Louisiana,
Evans's in Tennessee. Stockbridge's M
Maryland and the two which the Democrats
concede In West Virginia. II these two. as
well as the Atkinson district are given to
the Democrats, (and these are the only two
cases where formal decision has not been
reached the House would then remain with
a Republican majority of three. In no
event, therefore, can the Republicans now
lose the House. If Symonds and Atkinson
receive certificates, which is possible, the
Republican majority will be eleven. If one
Of them obtains certificate, which is proba-
BILE. the majority will stand at nine. The
condition of the Senate in the Fifty-first
Congress will also be more satisfactory to
the Republicans. With the unexpected gain
in Delaware the Republicans will have
thirty-nine members to only thirty-seven for
the Democrats. There will be the vote of
the Republican Vice President moreover, for
use in case OF tie vote. In neither branch
will the Republicans have what might be
called good working majority, but it will
do; it will do.

OF punishment, while great many of them
have pursued course that fully explains
and justifies the public prejudice, the trouble
with measure of punishment, like law
regulating their rates of charges and pre-
scribing long list of rules to which they
must conform, is that while it may punish the
railroads it is likely to punish the innocent
public also. For instance, had the .'short and
long haul" clause been narrowly construed
notonly would damage have been inflicted on
the railroads, but many seaboard cities would
have been deprived entirely of their export
business. and many points would have been
leftentirely to the mercy of water transpor-
tation not affected by the law and therefore
at liberty to put rates as high as they pleased.
The plan of leaving the execution of the law
to a commission was the Seuate's. The
House opposed it, but finally consented to it
as part of a compromise. 1t is altogether
fortunate, both for the general public and
the railroads, that this feature of the law
was not obliterated.

Uncle Sam still has lands left for who So
ever may wish TO 90 and take them. The
report of the Secretary of the Interior shows
that during the last year over eight and a
half million acres have passed from the pub
lie to private owners. Seven and a half
million acres Of these are agricultural lands,
which go probably to actual settlers. The
total receipts for the disposal of these lands
was thirteen and a half million dollars,
larger than the receipts of any other year
since 1886. In the distribution of these lands
the imperial Territory of Dakota leads. over
two and half million acres Of her lands
having passed to private owners during the
last year; Kansas comes next with nearly a
million and a half acres; then Minnesota
with nearly nine hundred thousand acres,
and Wisconsin and Nebraska with over half
million acres each. Two Southern States,
Alabama and Arkansas, show each about a
quarter of million acres of lands that have
passed to private parties during the year. In
both Alabama and Arkansas these lands
have gone to small holders, either immi-
grants or natives Of the State who are taking
new starts in life on land obtained from the
government This activity in land transfers
in Southern States is probably only the be-
ginning of what is to follow. Ii the govern
ment has no extensive domains in those
States there are nevertheless thousands Of
broad acres to be obtained for song. which
ought to attract immigrants when the most
desirable lands of the West shall have been
occupied

for spot cash $40, 600 worth of clothing

would bring about the coveted result.

pose as man man proposes, and the pro-

destroyed all calculation and lett me

while the $4,000 stock is comparative

The lnter-state Commerce Law.

The annual report Of the commissioners of
Interstate commerce shows, that in the
opinion at least of the officers appointed to
administer it, the national regulation Of in
ter-State traffic has been on the whole BEN
efcial, not only to the general public. but to
the railroads, as we'll There was great fear
on the part of transportation companies
when this law was passed that it would af-
feet very unfayerably their business by I'M
dertaking to apply memorable rules to all
railroads, without allowing much If anything
for the difference of the circumstances under
which they might operate. In this they have
been happily disappointed. Possibly the
commissioners view Of the effect of the law
may be too optimistic. yet there can be no
doubt that the predictions Of railroad mana
gers were altogether too pessiDistic. There
is no proof that the business of single rail
road or any particular section Of the coun-
try has been, to any considerable extent, un-
favorably affected by the application of the
law. Corporations and individuals who had
been in the habit of getting special rates from
railroads have no doubt felt the law serious
ly, but their privileges were obtained only at
the expense Of others and therefore were
wrongful. The taking away Of these privi-
leges was in the interest Of the general pub
lie. 1t was from what is known as the "long
and short haup' clause Of the law that the
most mischief was expected. But even that
seems to have brought very little Of the evil
predicted from it. This escape, however, has
been largely due TO the fact that the admins
tration of the law was placed in the hands
of commissioners, with power not merely to
administer it, but to interpret 1t as well.
Had the 'long and short haul" clause been
made iuexorable, or had the exceptions
enumerated in the act itself been as narrow
ly construed as they might, and as many of
the trainers Of the act have declared they
should, have been, there can he no doubt that
great deal of mischief would have resulted.
Water lines would at certain points have
completely destroyed the business of the rail-
roads. But thanks to the commission.

the law has been SO construed and applied

We're intended without bringing upon the rail-

which might and would probably have been
realized had the administration of the law
been approached in the same spirit that its
preparation and enactment were by por-
tion of its advocates, for there can be no
doubt but it was supported by many Con-
qressmen chiefly because 1t was believed that
il would inflict damage upon railroads, be-
cause IL would punish them. Now while

The project of establishing railroad to
Alaska has been discussed in practical rail
road circles for several years, and it seems
thai the standing arguments against the
proposition have been thoroughly answered
In a recent issue Of the Portland Oregonien,
resident Of Alaska declared that the road
is commercial necessity and that it will be
completed within the next ten years. He is
very sanguine in his anticipation that the
road will cross to the Asiatic continent and
connect Pekin and Irkutsk with American
centres Of commerce. The early objection to
the project was based upon fear on the phys
ical obstacles. Concerning these he says
s'sThe snow on the Alaska side is not bad. 1t
does not get very deep along the coast at any
season of the year. The Japan currents fix
that, as Is well known, the winters at Sitka,
Fort Wrangle and all along there being very
mild. As for Behring straits, they are but
thirty miles wide, and for good deal of the
year boats could easily run, but as the straits
are dotted with islands, track can be laid up
upon them, and the intervening points
bridged. The depth of water at no point is
over twenty fathoms, and this presents no
difficulty that cannot be overcome"
