The announcement of the meeting of
railroad presidents in Chicago, and the
meeting itself, for the purpose of putting
stop to rate cutting between the lines
centering there, were altogether I'M
necessary. The fact that the interstate
commerce commissioners had gone there
to do that job was sufficient guaranty to
the public that the cutting would cease
soon as the commissioners are away, re-
gardless Of whatever agreementC0 the
aforesaid presidents may enter into, no
body for a moment doubts.

With all the scheming and consolidat-
ing and pooling and combining that can
be devised by railroad and car COM
panies for the purpose of getting rid of
competition, there is one monopolist
who hobs up serenely on all such occa-
sions and complacently yet firmly holds
his grip on his good thing" and he is
George Westinghouse, the inventor of
the air brake for railroad trains. And
the public is perfectly willing that he re-
ceive the full benefit, in royalties, of his
patent as long as he can hold that pro-
lection from the government.

The declarations of the Cologne Ga
zette, quoted in yesterdays dispatches.
in regard to the issues involved in the
SOmoan question. between Germany and
the United States, were probably not
made by authority, for that government
must know that when it comes to mat
ters touching and affecting the interests
of this country and its citizens in for
eign countries the action of this govern
ment is not controlled by partisan con-
sideratiOns-there can be no such
promptings, for in such matters we are
not partiSans but are all Americans.
While the Gazette statement that there
is no occasion to fear that the excellent
relations between Germany and Amer
lea are IN danger of undergoing any rad
ical change" may be true, abstractly, yet
the reasons therefore are not found in
the insinuations INDUCED IN by that
paper, i. e. fear or timidity. Bismarck
may overmatch Bayard at diplomacy,
but that would not be conclusive evil
dence of lack of courage on the part of
this government This much, not in de-
Tense of the administration per Sc. but

Wichita is developing into an important

1t is the meat eater and not the butch
er whose interest should demand the
most attention from our legislature; it is
the meat raiser and the meat buyer
whose pocket should be protected rather
that of a very small class, whose only
complaint seems to be that he is not
privileged to knock the animal down and
strip the hide off. The howl about dis
ease is simply diseased howl. The Kan

liza or Kansas City, or even in Chicago,
Is IL a much more wholesome plight
than if it was shipped ali the way to
some interior town in Pennsylvania, or
other state. to be there locally inspected
before killing. IL the poor people and
the iaboring classes could have their say
and why shouldn't they be heard
they would be unanimous for the dress
ed meat, because it Is the cheaper.

Apropos of the Samoan question
now on between the United States
and Germany, it is worthy of note that
france Is taking an interest in the mat
matter, that is in general way as af-
fecting the possessorship of the South
Pacific islands. 1t was inevitable, how
ever, under the circumstance, that she
would. Whatever interests Germany
interests France, and vice versa. In
this instance France feels called upon to
throw every obstruction possible in the
way of Germany to prevent her from
getting a foothold in Samoa. Not that
France wants the island or would accept
a protectorate over it offered her. She
Is not moved by any such selfish consid-
GRAFTON, but the grander and all-inspiring
one, to her, of wanting to do a particu-
lar neighbor a bad turn-iust as Ger
many would feel an act, beyond ques-
ton, were the conditions reversed. 1t is
of coincidence that the in
terest of the French, in this instance as
many others, should be on the side of, if
not Identical with, that of this country.

a PROPOSED REMEDY FOR Di-

The Hon. Edward J. Phelps, ex-minister
TO England and Lecturer on a at halel
has turned his attention to the subject OF
Divorce in the United States, with an enort
TO discover a practical means OF lessening
the evil. How great that evil is may be
seen at a glance from the fact that during
the last twenty years more h 5OO,OOO d.
vorces have been granted, whereas, during
the preceding twenty years, only a lew
more than 325,0 900 were granted. This rap
id increase is the main fact which has di-
rected the attention both OF social and le-
gal reformers to the subject. Mr.. phelps
treats IL from a practical, legal point OF
view and considers the means whereby the
law may be best used as a preventative.
A uniform divorce Law in all the States
he regards as impossible ever to obtain ,and
his view of the Federal Constitution is that
it would be illegal for the United States to
enact a law on this subject, this being a
matter which fallswithin State jurisdiction.
He addresses himself, therefore, to State
laws; and, after a discussion Of the main
features of all these laws, reaches the con-
clusion that the remedy will be found in a
prohibition of marriage by either divorced
party so long as the other lives. lie shows
historically, that IL is the liberty 10 marry
again that has caused such an increase in
divorces; and he concludes that it is the
desire for another marriage alliance that is
the main cause of most separations between
husbands and wives. Mr.. Phelps contrib
utes this study of the subject to The Forum
and il appears in the December number.
