tent than the generality of man
kind. This superstition Is greater
among engineers. and fremen than
among any other class of men in the SER
vice, and when they once conclude or
imagine that something IS wrong all the
reasoning In the world cannot change
them. On the Pennsylvania. road there
is an engine, No. 1918, that the train
men on the road believe has. been
queered. and they will request the COM
pany to abandon it. Speaking of this
engine the Philadelphia Register says.
There is not an engineer or fireman on the
huge monster that during the past year has
figured in more disasters than any other. In
the first place, it plunged over the bridge at
Latrobe last summer, wrecking the whole
train and killing the engineer, fireman and ten
others, and seriously injuring about q dozen
persons. About month afterward It collided
with train near Manor, seriously injuring the
fireman and wrecking number of cars. Again,
in few weeks, while ascending the mountains.
its boiler burst, and the fireman blown
through the cab window and badly hurt. 1t was
repaired and once more put on the road, and all
went well until about six weeks ago, when it
again into freight at Manor Station,
smashing ten or twelve ears and seriously in
juring the fireman. Lastly, while running near
Sang Hollow Tuesday, it got into another
scrape. This time its oil can exploded and
severely burned both engineer and fireman.

this conflict is that the difference between
carload and less than carload rates has
been in itself sufficient to make whole
sale business in the Missouri valley towns
possible.
Admitting that a distinction between
carloads and less than carload rates is
proper, it is, nevertheless, appareut
/ that in fixing these rates it is possible TO
DO great injustice to the small shipper.
1t is possible to make the advantage
which the carload shipper enjoys too
great. The question before the inter
state commerce commission was whether
the rates under consid Grafton presented a
case of this sort of injustice. To this ex-
tent it was question of fact, which the
commission decided in favor of the ship
pers who were complaining.
In this issue of fact the question was
involved as to whether such q case of in
justice confiicted with the interstate COM
merce law. This was the important Ques-
ton to the general public, and the oom-
mission decided that the interstate COM
merce law applied. 1t is q very import
ant decision, and very valuable one to
the people. Henceforth, whenever a
small shipper has reason to complain of
the difference betweencar load and less
than carload rates, he may present his
complaint before the Interstate commerce
commission and the injustice will be cor
rected.-C Denver Republican.
The difference in the rates between car
load lots and packages from the market
centers of the East and North has made
wholesale business in Texas possible, and
the wiping out of that difference is blow
that the wholesale merchants in all small
cities will feel. Under the decision of the
commission q retail dealer in Eendly can
ship from St. Louis $500 worth of &c DDS
at the same rate per 100 pounds that a
wholesale merchant in Fort Worth can q
carload Of goods worth $40 900, making
it possible for the wholesale trade of Fort
Worth and other Texas cities to be badly
crippled if not absolutely rendered I'M
profitable. This decision is good thing
for small dealers, but tits hard on the
wholesale merchants in interior cities.

CARLOAD RATES.
an Interstate Commission Decision tina
Hurts Wholesale Merchants
IN Small Cities.

An Interstate Commission Decision that
Hurts Wholesale Merchants
In Small Cities.
It has been a matter OF dispute among
'aippers and trafio agents for a long
0ne as TO what distinction, If any,
mould be made IN rates between ship
aents in carload lots aud shipments in
sss than carload lots. The interstate
eonmerce commission having rendered a
oecision on this subject. the lines mark
q down by it will probably be followed
adjusting these rates in the future.
Naturally, it is the large dealer, as a
Gle, who ships by the carload, whereas
'ae small dealer is compelled to make his
,alpments in less than carload lots. As
az as there is difference between the
'so kinds of rates, the large shipper has
q advantage over his small competitor.
sad this advantage may be used by him
s,ther TO increase his own or cut down
~ Competitor profits. In the large
Ales Of Chicago and st. Louis the senti-
cent has been in favor of abolishing any
.slinction between the rates, whereas

THE RAILROADS.
What Will Fort Worth Do to Secure the
Rock Island Road.
The ( fleets OF lows Railroad LegisIatinn-The
Railroad Commission Hits a Hard
Lick-General Railroad News.

That the Rock Island road, the ter
minus Of which is now at Queen City,
fifteen miles south of Fort Reno, in the
Indian Territory, will build to Texas no
man who has even smothering of
railroad knowledge will for a moment
doubt. That it will is a settled fact,
and it will be a lucky town or city that
Is fortunate enough to secure it. It is
believed by many that this road will build
to Fort Worth no matter what turns up,
and il NAV be that this belief has been
the result Of some Indifference about the
matter. Railroads now-a-d days are
like any other valuable property, if they
are had they must be paid for, and in
this respect the Rock Island is no excep-
ton. The building of this road to Fort
Worth would be worth thousands upon
thousands of dollars to the city, and the
officials of the road know it about as well
as any one else. II will, therefore,
stand Fort Worth in hand to take some
steps to demonstrate to the Rock Island
people that the road is wanted here. If
this is not done, AMI other towns take
the matter in hand and offer proper H.
ducements, il is almost certain that the
road will pass Fort Worth either on the
east or west, which, take it how we
may, would be disastrous to the city.
The time is rapidly approaching when
g long run for Texas will be made by the
Rock Island, and before the start is made
let Fort Worth know how she stands with
the road. To get it means another trunk
line and the attending benehts-to lose
it means a plunge into the consomme

WHERE Is THE GAIN.


The Result OF Iii Advised Railroad Legisla-
ton in Iowa.
Several years ago the farmers of Iowa
got it into their heads that the rail-
roads were in great measure re-
fPOnsible for the depression in farming
interests IN that state. They argued
that freight rates were so high that
farmers could not prosper under them
and in order to correct matters they set
to work on members of the legislature
and secure legislation against the roads.
The indications now are that the legisla-
ton has not been productive of any good
10 them or to the state.
The New Haven Conn., Journal and
Courier, IN referring to the matter,
sums up the Iowa railroad situation as
follows:
LAST year railroad mileage in Iowa did not
increase by ] per cent. on the former mileage of
$50 miles. The number of men working on the
.sl-Ioaus has diminished IN year by 5oy4, and
ne sum Of wages paid is less by 81, 406 S27. The
t1oss earnings for the same period, including
siNehlE-one miles of new track, are only Sl, 6SO
more, and not as much as in 1857, with several
,SlAaFel less miles Of track. Between lsS2 and
- over S6l. 90. 600 have heen put IN Iowa
.eATo3Cs, but the net earnings are only $3.50, goo
greater. Out of twenty-five railroads giving
LgaTeS, there were last year twelve that did not
earn their fixed charges The twelve paid not. a
Selt of dividends, but ran behind some 500, 6s2.
-lleed, excluding the Chicago and Northwestern
WIN lis 81 $40, SIS applicable TO dividends, the
elers could not meet operating expenses and
