THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
1t not unfrequently happens that adj
justment is greatly delayed, il not
brought to halt, 10y the conflicting
claims between companies under the
same OR different grants, the limits OF
whose roads overlap and conflict. The
Northern Pacific presents an example
of this kind. In Minnesota, where the
lands are surveyed, the limits of the
grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad
company conflict with those of the st.
Vincent extension of the grant now
owned by the St. Paul, Minneapolis u
Manitoba Railroad company, involving
an area of, approximately, 4oo, 600 acres
Litigation is pending between the two
companies to determine their respective
rights to the land in conflict. The
Northern Pacific Railroad company
claims under its charter the right to
select indemnity lands anywhere along
its line of over 1900 miles for lands lost
at any point; that if there be deficiency
in Minnesota, the right of selection to
make the loss good attaches to all in
demnity lands from Wisconsin to Puget
Sound, regardless of the political di-
visions of states and territories. More
over, 225 miles of the general route as
fixed by the Northern Pacific railroad
remain unconstrueted in Washington
Territory. the lands opposite to which
unconstructed portion are yet in reServa-
ton because the statutory mandate in

Playing at Soldier.

London Star
With the advent of William Ii. the
spirit of Prussian militaryism is becom-
ing more and more apparent. Until
then it had been tempered by the ad:
vanced age of William l. and the sup
posed liberalism of Friedrich H., says
the London Star, but nothing can be so
characteristic of the tendency of Prus-
sian aspirations, SO comical, at the same
time more sad. than the way in which
the SONS Of the kaiser are brought up at
Oberhof. The kaiser, who is very par
tial of being photographed with his
children. is Of the opinion that they are
better away both from himself and their
mother, and therefore has sent them to
a distance of twelve hours by road from
Berlin, with their civil and military
attendants.
And this is what is seen at Oberhof.
Three small boys, aged respectively six,
FIVE and four years, dressed in military
uniform, booted and spHrred, and drag

ion they study and strut about day after
day.

JUMPED WHILE ASLEEP.
A Somnambulist's Midnight Walk
and Awakening.

anu f1WaACuinSs
Valdosta Times.
A young man living near Valdosta
had perilous experience several nights
ago. He jumped into well while
asleep, but thanks to fortuitous circum-
stances, he got out with no more DAM
age to his person than a thorough
drenching from the submersion he got.
nambuliSt. Several time before he has
been known to get up in his sleep and
walk about and do things which no
sleeping man, it would seem, could do,
and things which no waking man
would do.
On this occasion he rose and pulled
long coat on over his night-clothes, put
on one of his own and one of his room
mates shoes and got hat belonging to
the gentleman OF the house. which was
several times too large for him. pulled
it down over his face and started out of
the house. The gentleman of the house
heard him stirring in his room, and
called to him to know if he was sick,
and he answered mo" He walked
out the back way, went to the lot and
jumped into the well. The plunge
bath. of course, woke him up. He

swimmer, and while clutchng about in
the dark on the surface of the water he
got hold of the chain, which worked
over pulley and which had bucket at
both ends. He threw his weight on the
chain, but the pulley worked easily,
and the bucket on the other side shot up
and the young man shot down toward
the Bottom of the we'll. Sundry we'll
directed though spasmodic kicks
brought him to the top again. but just
at that moment the recently ascending
bucket, which had turned down again
WHEN he turned the chain loose, met
the top of his head with a severe
blow, which ducked him under again.
Reaching the surface again, and with a
GOODNESS and presence OF mind which
were remarkable under the circum-
stances, he gathered the chain, and
while threading water" as the boys
call it, he gently pulled gu the chain,
causing the bucket to ascend until it
hit the pulley at the top of the we'll
frame. Now he had solid hold, and,
finding the step-holes on the side of the
we'll, he soon mounted to the curbing
and sprand out Oh terra firma.
He said he thought in his dreams that
he was the "Ford,' and was jumping
in for pleasure bath. The water in
the well was twenty feet deep, but the
surface was not far below the bottom
Of the curb.

The Bill Was Passed.

New YORK Tribune.
An ex-member of the Virginia state
senate told me the otherday Of an Incl
dent in his legislative career which do
not remember of ever having seen in
print before. A. l.. Pridemere. not
many years ago member of the house
of representatives from the Ninth Vir-
ginia district, was before he came to
Washington member Of the Virginia
senate. One day he introduced a bill
for the relief of the SuretieS of Il. G..
Wax, who was collector of taxes in
Scott county. He made brief eXplana-
ton of the bill. and when he sat down
Edgar Allen, fanliliarly known as
yankee Allen" who represented the
.Farmville district, rose and said:
81 wish to ax
If Mr.. Wax
Has been too lax
In collecting the taxi
If such are the facts
am willing to relax
And remit the tax
Which the law enacts
We should exact
Or his sureties.'
1t is needless to add, my informant
says, that the bill passed by unani-
nous vote.

NEW IUIk Cuu
The San Francisco Chronicle asks this
question: SIS Cleveland a Democrat"
We have his own statement. In his
speech accepting the nomination for
mayor of Buffalo in 1881, Mr.. Cleveland
declared, in four words that left no
room for misunderstanding, IL am a
Democrat"
In his response to the committee
which notified him of his nomination
for president in 1884, the same words
occur. 81 am Democrat" said MI.
Cleveland to the committee.
1t is strange that anybody should
now be asking if Mr.. Cleveland is a
Democrat.
The question used to be: ''Is Cleve-
land the Democracy"
s'The Sacrifice OF Education"
New York Times.
1t has been felt that much in Ameri-
can education is wrong because the
stress has been laid upon the prepare
ton for examinations, but the difficulty
is not felt only in the American schools.
The Nineteenth Century in its current
issue takes up this matter at great
length and shows that the whole struct-
ure of English education, from the pri
mary school to the university, is afflicted
with the tests of examinations, and that
education itself is sacrificed to them.
1t is the examination that men study
for, not the mastery of a subject and
the discipline that grows out Of the
mastery. Frederick Harrison says:
1--WE want neither distinction, prizes,
nor tests in anything like the profusion
in which they are now poured out. Art,
learning, politics, and amusement are
deluged with shows, races. competi-
tons, and prizes. Life is becoming one
long scramble for prize winning and
pot hunting. An examination, stereo-
typed into trade, IS having the same
effect on education that the betting sys-
TEN has Oh every healthy sport" The
protest here given is signed by the lead
ing educators and publicists in Eng
land, and the feeling is that in public
elementary schools, in schools of all
grades and for all classes, and at the
universities, dangerous mental press
ure and instruction of energies and
aim are to be found.

PENSIONS.
A Large Increase OF Original Pen
sionerS on the Roll.

SlOnerS on the kohl.
Original pensioners to the number of
60,952 were added to the pension rolls
during the last fiscal year, and increases
were granted in 1915 cases.. The
names of 1870 pensioners were dropped
from the rolls for various causes, SO that
at the end of the year the total number
remaining of all classes was 452, 557, of
which $4,000 were army invalid pen
sioners, 90.SS2 army widows, children
and dependent relatives; 3,S46 navy in
valids; 2,OS3 navy widows. children, and
dependent relatives; SOS, survivors of
the war of 1912, and 10.7S7 widows of
those who served in that war; 10000
Mexican soldiers, and 5,104 widows of
Mexican soldiers. AT the present time
1902 different rates of pension prevail,
ranging from So per month to S416.66
per month; but the average annual
value of each pension at the close of
the year is shown to be Sl25.30; and the
aggregate annual value of all pensions
$50, 707, 220, an increase for the year
of 81, SS2, 579.70. The amount paid for
pensions during the year was sis. u.s.

year of S5,30S, 2S0.22.

RATES ARE REASONABLE.
The Interstate Commission Gives
Its Views on the Transportation

1nc luttfStdCO OOiHiuiSSiOH olsCS
Its Views on the Transportation
of Oil.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The inter-
state commerce commission, by Com
missioner Schoonmaker to-day rendered
a decision in the case of Rice, Robinson
Sc Winthrop, against the Western New
York & Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, dismissing the complaint. The
issue presented was the reasonableneSS
of the rates charged for the transporta-
ton of refined oil between Tltusville,
Pa, and Buffalo. N. Y, which were
claimed to be excessive. 1t is held by
the commission that the rates are reas-
enable when the increased cost OF
grades, light local business, etc., is
considered, and that the proportion
received by the carrier of a through
export rate for transportation, in
the cars of another company, to Perth
Amboy, n. j., by way of Buffalo, is not
a fair standard of what should be
charged for the transportation to Buff
falo, which is in its own cars. and is
subject to terminal and other expenses.
In speaking of pipeline competition,
the commission says that a carrier can
not be required to make good to a ship
per, disadvantages of location or of
cheaper facilities for reaching markets
enjoyed by it's competitors, but adds
that had the facts satisfactorily ap-
peared that the rate was made at the
behest or to favor the pipe line ship
pers, the case would have presented a
different aspect. The necessity of deck
loading in order to place in car the
number of barrels designated as a car
load is spoken of, and any expense
which the shipper is put to thereby, is
declared in excess of the tariff rate and
unlawful.

ION GREAT WATERS

The ship has crossed the Iarbor bar,
And. leaving home and friends afar,
Sails forth beneath the evening star.
With prayer of watchers left behind,
1t sails before the springing wind;
Strong is the bark, and God is kind.
o baby souls, sent forth from Heaven,
To you the sea is also given
A weary struggle to be striven!
Ye too have left the light Of home
For warning winds and waves-to roam
Across a dreary waste of foam.
And what shall be the end for ye9
Dark shipwrecks III the midmest sea?
Or triumph to eternity?
Fear not: for if We brave the blast
With Gods own eolors at the mast,
The haven viii be sure at last.

Rough Weather On the Atlantic.

Baltimore Herald.
Those who go down tothe sea in ships
in the month of November do not al
ways haveIa holiday voyage. This year
old ocean seems to be doing its worst.
All the ships coming across the Atlantic
for the last fortnight have reported ire
mendouS gales, cyclones, crosS-SeaS and
tidal waves. The Etruria came into
port with one seaman washed overheard
and five or six persons injured from
being thrown off their feet by the lureh-
ing of the ship. The Republic, the
Rhynland and the State of Pennsylvania
also Jared badly, and passengers report
no little discomfort and actual suffering
from the rough seas.
All seemed to have been done that
could be done to make the voyages
agreeable. But with the ships working
slowly in the angry gale, the air full of
spray and snow, the great waves sweep
ing across the decks and the passengers
imprisoned in close cabins below, COM
fort was out of the question, and most
of the passengers seem thankful to have
escaped with their lives. Too much
credit cannot be given to the officers of
the ships and the seamen who risk life
and limb to carry on the worlds COM

Wants a Bugaboo.

Chicago Globe.
The World newspaper, of New York,
suggests that the Republican party will
not ''steal the Democratic thunder by
reducing the tariff, because if it should
it would be without campaign buga-
boo; land without bugaboo Repub-
lican campaign has become utterly
hopeless"
Yes, the Republican party wants a
bugaboo. and it means to have one.
Still, it IS very likely to reduce the
tariff in its own peculiar way. 1t finds
itself confronted by condition, not a
theory; OF rather by two or three seri-
Gus conditions. The government is col
Letting from the people s60OOO,000 or
more annually in excess of the amount
required to administer the government
economically, and to keep the pledges

in the very words quoted by all the Re-
publican members of the senate finance
committee in their report of the 18th of
last month.

was printed in the Tribune about two
years ago:]
A song for the girl love,

A song for the eyes of tender shine,
And the fragrant mouth that melts on mine;
The shimmering tresees uncontrolled
That clasp her neck like tendrils of gold,
And the blossom mouth and the dainty chin.
And the little dimples out and in,
The girl love,
God love her!

God loved her!
A song for the lips of faded light
And the cheek whose red rose waned to

The quiet brow with its shadow and CLEAN,
And the dark eyes closed in a long, quiet
dream,
The small hands crossed in their churchyard
rest.
And the lilies dead ON her sweet, dead breast,
