A Well-Managed Railroad.

Chicago Tribune: Probably the most
economically managed railroad in the
world is in Ross county, Ohio. Its cor
porate name is the CINCINNATI, Hook
ing Valley Il Huntington railroad. 1t
is only ten miles in length, and was or
ganized and built mainly by John
Karshner. wealthy farmer When
the road was built he sold the crops of
his farms for one year and bought a
locomotive, which he called the John
Karshner. Then he had built a conf
bination passenger and baggage car,
and his equipment was complete. He
has been operating his road for two
years. AT first he employed con-
ductor and freight agent, and fol-
lowed the custom of larger roads. But
being an active man, though over 10
years of age, he soon dispensed with
all superfluous services, and now he
combines within himself the entire list
of railroad men, from owner and pres
ident to conductor and brakeman. His
train goes twice a day from Auelphi to
Kingston and return. 1t will stop on
signal at any farm house or cross-road
for passengers OF freight. Mr.. Karshner
goes on every train as conductor,
brakeman, baggagemaster,m maitland ex-
press agent, and even as news agent.
He sells no tickets; has no running
arrangements with other roads; has no
running accounts for freight, passen-
gers or express: everything is cash.
He does not require bookkeeper. nor
even clerk.

"The Century" in Russia.

n. Y. Tribune: T. w. Hollis, who
was abroad last summer, tells of an in.
cident at Moscow. where he came in
contact with police regulations. Two
letters which were addressed to him
were opened by the police before they
were delivered to him. A copy of The
Century Magazine for July, which had
been sent to him by friend, had the
article on :'Count Tolstoi' and all the
advertisements torn out. Being at a
loss to understand what possible objec-
tion there could be to the advertise
ments, Mr.. Hollis introduced himself at
police headquarters as an American
traveller, and made inquiry as to why
his magazine had been mutilated. With
the hope of gaining the good graces of
the official, Mr.. Hollis yentured to sug-
gest that there were numerous soap ad-
vertisements in the paper, and that he
could understand from his observation
that the Importation of soap might be
as dangerous as an equal amount Of
dynamite. The humor of his sugges-
tion was entirely lost on the officer, and
it was with some difficulty that Mr..
Hollis persuaded him that no offense
was meant. The officer then gave the
information that the police objection
to the advertisements was that they
contained announcements of "irrelig-
ious books" Any book is termed ire.
ligious that is not of the strictest ortho-
dox Russian faith. Police surveillance
is extended to newspapers as we'll as to
magazines. Newspapers are not deliv-
cred to subscribers until twenty-four
hours after their arrival, and frequent
ly have entire columns obliterated with
printers ink by reasen of the censor's
decision that news articles about Rus
sia are dangerous to the government.

A Postofltce Difficulty.

Huronite: The dailies of Aberdeen
are all torn up on MEDICATION and man
agement of their postof1ice. The News
thinks the postmaster should furnish
stove and fuel and keep up a fire in the
lobby. The Republican insists that
there is no need of heating the lobby.
There are so many loafers there that
the place would become loathsome for
ladies and business men, visiting the
office. The Republican insists that
the difficulty is with the location of
the office. That its present location
was fixed by a smoney ghoul who
would sink the town and every mans
interest in it to gain his own selfish
ends in satisfying his greed for filthy
lucre~ 1t further says that "the Office
is dungeon where the bright sun
light Of heaven can never penetrate,
and consequently the tomb is cold,
cheerless, and enyeloped in darkness"
This is a sad case. Can it be that
there is any lack of harmony over the
subject of a truly democratic post
Office? Major Barrett seems deter
mined that it shall be admitted as a
hole-a very dark and damp one.

A Hard Coal FaIlacy.

Rapid City Republican: Many Of
our western friends and especially
those living in Dakota, who have had
to pay excessive prices for coal, During
the winter months of the year, are very
much inclined toward free trade. be-
lieving the nonsense published in the
democrtc papers that with free trade
the price of coal would be greatly re-
duced. What have our free trade
friends to say IN reply to the following
from the Hamilton (Canada) Spectator,
other than that the peculiarity of the
great truths of free trade, as stated by
John Stuart Mill, is that they are self
evident: The contention of the coal
dealers was that il the duty should be
removed from coal, the price would
fall by the amount Of the duty. They
jed. OF course. The duty has been re-
moved from anthracite coal, and the
price has not fallen; it has risen. The
dealers have put the duty into their
own pockets. and more, too

Where Mr.. Kanouse Stands.

Hon. Theo. d. Kanouse states his
platform to the Aberdeen News in
the following emphatic fashion:
1 believe that the prohibition of the
liquor traffic, by the will of the people
expressed in due form of law, is an is
sue OF paramount importance, worthy
of the best energies, of the best men,
in the best political party ever known
or to be known amongst men.
l do not believe the prohibition of
the liquor traffic to be the only issue
politicaD worthy the energ;es Of such
a party. / believe in the protection OF
American citizenship and American
institutions, against the world beside;
in the enfranchisement of women or
the utter abolition of all laws which
in any manner require her to contrib
ute to the public revenue; in theinter-
ests of the commonality rather than
the interests of a few of fortunes IA
vorites, whether as individuals OF cor
porations. The highest good of the
greatest number" should be the rule
in legislation in q republic, either state
or national.
With this faith could not work in
harmony with the republican party in
Wisconsin in its later years, though my
highest political aspirations for many
years were for its success. am happy
to say that so far as it has been my
privilege to take part in the organized
deliberations of the republican party
in Dakota. it has shown itself fully
abreast Of the times in righteous po-
litical action, and I, therefore, do not
hesitate TO say that, in these circum-
stances, lean see no demand for the pro-
hibition party in Dakota. =; & Il
There Is a wide and honest difference

A woman,s Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that tooby lady in

clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
month she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle Of DR.. Kings new discovery

lieved on taking the. first dose that she
slept all night and With one bottle has
been miraculously cured. lIer name

MR.. pREs1on's VIEWS.
He semmarIzes the Temperance
Question in Dawson County.

The Yankton Press of Wednesday
has this: IL. G. Preston, of Mitchell,
who is in Yankton, enlightened the
reporter on prohibition affairs in Davi-
son county, in short conversation
last evening, touching upon other mat
ters of current Importance before he
had finished. 1t will be remembered
that local option carried Dawson
county by a majority of seven votes
only and shortly after the election it
was announced that the election would
be contested on the ground that the
county clerk had failed to comply with
the law regarding the publication OF
election notices. Mr.. Preston says
that although there may have been
grounds for contest and that an in
junction served upon the canyassing
board before the counting of the vote
would have temporarily stopped the
canvass, an attempt to stop the canvass
and to prove the election void would
have been an action to offend many of
the best people in Dawson county who
had cast ballots on the question. He
says a request was made of the can
vassing board for delay of few days
in the canvass in order to allow an ex-
animation into the matter, but the
board contained two or more staunch
-prohibitionists and they would not
allow delay. The election will prob
ably not be contested in I avison
county and hereafter the bibulous will
be compelled to go thirsty in Mitchell.
