CANADIAN RAILWAYS.
BiIl 40 Regulate the Manner of Doing
Basin ess likely to Become Il Law

A dispatch from Ottawa Ont, says one of
the most important measures to be brought
before the house this session by the govern
ment is the consolidated railway bill. The
minister of railways says that the bill will be
based on report of the rail way commission,
which has just concluded its labors, after
taking evidence in the United States, Great
Britain and Canada. The recommendations
of the commission, which are practically the
text of the bill, are as follows:
The commission recommends the establish
ment of court of tribunal having power to
settle all matters of inter-railway dispute,
whose decision shall be final. 1t recommends:
|. That uniform classification of freight
subject to the adoption, if desired by them,
of the American classification for through
traffic to and from the United States.
q That the railway companies may make
and establish tariffs, subject to the approval
and revision Of the maximum rates by such
tribunal.
). That it is expedent TO adopt rule of
equal mileage rates, irrespective of distance
and cost of service.
H. That ono carload of not less than ten
tons shall be the limit of railway transpoI-
tation in respect of any special rates granted,
all quantities under one carload being treated
alike, but the company to be at liberty to
make special rates for large shipments.
.. That discrimination of an just or par
tial character between individuals under like
conditions be efPectually prohibited and any
infraction of such law punished by severe
penalty.
e. That discrimination Of an unjust or
partial character between different locali-
ties under like conditions be effectively pro-
hihited and any infraction punished, after
due cogniZance having been taken of the eff
feet of water and rail competition.
Z. That all secret special rates, rebates,
drawbacks or commissions to shippers be
declared illegal, and that every special rate
be made public on demand of any inquirer.
S. That complaints of extortionate rates or
unjust discrimination may be referred to the
authorized tribunal for settlement whose
decision shall be final.
.. That railway companies be not COM
PEELED to undertake express business, but
must offer equal facilities to all express com
! panies alike.
The commission also recommends that the
system of granting free passes be prohibited,
but this section of the report, the minister of
railways says, will not be incorporated in
the bill

At 10 o'clock on the night of March 4, the

" Perfect" Butter.

Prof. L. B. Arnold, the famous dairy
expert, says he never judged but one
sample of butter which came up to the
standard of "perfect." That one was
from a dairy whose product sells regu-
larly in Boston for so cents a pound.
The cream for this butter was raised by
intense refrigeration, and kept thus till
enough had accumulated for churning.
1t was then ripened and churned. When
properly granulated the buttermilk was
drawn from the butter, which was then
rolled and pressed into solid condition
with the least possible working.

A dispatch from Chicago, March 2, says
The agreement between the Brotherho cd Of
Engineers and Firemen and the Knights of
Labor, whereby the former are to call their
men out OF the Pennsylvania coal regions on
the Reading road and the latter to keep away
from the fight in the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy matter, had 10 apparent effect on
the number of applicants at the general
offices of the Burlington company The
majority Of the men, however, were young,
and looked more like tiremen than engineers.
The officials OF the company claim that the
situation Is steadily improving. They
accepted 100 men and expected to pat on
$50 more at once Fourteen passenger trains
were sent out from Chicago and Ii came in.
The company commenced running coal
trains on the Chicago division, and it is
claimed that they are running local freight
trains on some portions of their system. A
number of switch engines are at work in the
yards and lumber district, and the most im-
portant work there is being taken care of.
The officers of the company are confident
that they will be able to send several fire. ght
trains out They do not think that the deal
between the Brotherhood and Knights of
Labor will have any effect on the new men.
Everybody looked bright and cheerful at
the strikers headquarters. The men sat
around the stoves in the hall and cracked
jokes, some telling stories and others mar
rating their adventures on the road The
strikers say that everything looks favorable,
and are awaiting the results of the agree
ment between the brotherhood and the
knights with much confidence. At the
round house the foreman said: II am tired

ployed to take the places of the strikers The

makers to come and keep the locomotives in

government did not prohibit the jubilee
fetes, it was in its own interests that it acted,
and not from any feeling of respect for the
holy see. The Catholic world must be aware

government was possible until the independ'

ident, in the chair, the following,
after discussion, was unanimously

Whereas, Hon. Henry W. Blair,
senator from New Hampshire, has
introduced in the Senate an amend

SHERMAN JUSTLY AVAILABLE
WITH COLORED VOTERS.
MIR. SHERMAN Is THE LEADING
AND MOST POPULAR CANDIDATE
IN THIS, THAT HE CAN CARRY
MORE VOTES OF COLORED CITI-
ZENS THAN ANY OTHER,

This is shown by the support
given him by colOred delegates in
the National Convention of 1880,
b. the strong current of opinion in
newspapers published by culored
citizens; and is a. result of "the
logic OF events, (Which proves that
he has done as much if not more
good, effective service than any
living American statesman in be-
half of human freedom, the protec-
ton of the citizens of the civil and
political rights of colOred citizens,
and their intellectual and moral
progress.
The history Of his devotion to the
rights of the colored race is that of
his manhood life, and antedates
the organization of the Republican
party. Tue Missouri Compromise
of 1920 solemnly declared that
slavery should never be extended
north of thirty-six degrees and tbi-
ty minutes north latltu,.e. Tue
repeal of this by the Kansas-N Ne
braSka act OF 1854 was designed to
carry slavery into Kansas, and the
''Dred-Scott deciSiou' of 1857 en-
phasized the purpose avowed in
CalhOun's resolutions of Febuary
19, 1917, to carry slavery into every
Territory of the United States.
Prior to 1855 the two great polit-
ical parties had been the Wing,
with which Mr.. Sherman was allied
and the Democratic. Tue FreesoiI
party had made some progress as
separate party. The repeal by
the Democrats in Congress in 1854
of the Missouri Compromise led to
reorganization of parties. The
Whig and Freesoil parties were
abandoned; the great body of the
Wings, Freesoiler and the ante.
slavery Democrats ''fused" in 1854,
in Ohio, under the name of the
Anti-Nebraska party. This fusion
nominated Mr.. Sherman, then only
thirty-one years of age, as candl-
date for Representative in Con
gress in the strong Democratic
Richland district, in which he re
sided, aud he was triumphantly
elected. Following this election
the Republican party was organic
ed. Its first State Convention, of
which Mr.. Sherman was President,
was held in Ohio July 13, 1855.
