THE CUT RATE WAR.


Ofthe many senseless rate wars that
have sprung UP between the railroads,
we fail to remember one that had lie IS
justification than the one now i'll prog
ress between the Northwestern roads.
So far as we are able to see beneath the
surface, the whole cause Of the strife is
that one line wishes to shorten its dis
lance by compelling all competing lines
to reduce their rate of speed. The
travelling public who pay the bills seem
to be left out of consideration alto
gether.
The old-time method of adjusting in
CAPABILITIES Of this character was for the
road that mad the longest distance be-
tween two points to shorten its own
line and then to equip its road so as to
enable it to make speed with the best of
them. 1t seems to be sort of a travesty
on railway progress that we have
reached a period of development where
by inaugurating a cut rate war the long
line can compel the short lines to dis
regard public interests by lengtbening
the time of travel between terminal
points.
People who travel nowadays want to
go fast. They want to get further and
further away from the OK cart method of
loeomotion. Electrical development has
suggested the wings of the Lightning as
about the proper thing for those who
wish TO go about from place to place; ;
and the nearer a railroad can fix its
schedule to the lightning transit idea
the nearer is it keeping pace with the
progress of civilization. 1t is true that
people like to travel cheap, but they
prefer speed to cheapness, particularly
when the cheap rates are to be of only
temporary duration, and have been eS-
tablisned for wrong purpose. Ii is
forward, not backward, we want to so
in our railroad development.

The Schooner Mary ellen Found

MOBILE, Ala, May 13.-The Apa-

the schooner Mary Ellen, which sailed
from Mobile for Bonaca April "a. The
following Saturday, May g, squall cap
sized the vessel instantly and two of
the crew below at the time were
drowned. The captain and three men,
the survivors, managed to get into the
yaWl boat and hoist a piece OF sail.
They ran before the wind $50
miles, and. having no food or water,
their suiferings became intense. During
the day they sighted a brig, but it
passed them by at close range, 10 one

reached st. Georges island and got
water by digging in the sand. They re-
manned until Wednesday, when the sea
subsidized so they could launch their
boat. They reached Cape st. George
lighthouse the same afternoon, where
they first tasted food since the wreck.
The same night they reachad Apala-
chicola, all well. The Mary Ellen was
schooner of seventy tons, owned by
Jason Gillett, of Mobile, and had light
outward cargo of lumber and general
merchandise.

Fioridians Fiog and Fire Upon
Mormon Proselyters.
VERNON, Fla. May 1.-Two Mormon
elders have been tramping through
Washington and Holmes counties, dis
tributing their religious tracts. They
went by the names of Elders James and
Maxwell. of Utah. They had proSelyted
to considerable extent, and especially
among young unmarried females. A
party of eight women were secured to
90 West last week. Abram King, living
six miles from here, had two daughters
in the party. King and his son, with
his neighbors. one of whose wife was
with the converts, pursued the Mormons,
and on capturing them tel them to trees
and after stripping them and fiogging
them numerically, they then loosened
them and began firing on them. The
Mormons ran into the SWampS, aud have
not been seen since. The young women
were returned home. and every one of
them was well switched, their parents
making each one whip the other. The
neighborhood has been intensely eX-
cited over the event. as there is no
doubt but what the elders persisted in
the swamp.

ONE of the most unique and catchy
exhibitions Of business ultraism, if that

ton in this city. A pretty, sparkling
and handsomely dressed young lady

pathetic narration that sanitary inveSti-
cations have shown that the health of
the people is being ruined by bad bak-
ing powders. An account is given of
their deleterious qualities. and the i'm
preston left that the danger is so i'm
minent that humane people employ
their agents to visit the housewives and
spread the alarm. In pursuance of the
example and preceptS Of the Savior,
they go about doing good at the expense
of the phlIanthropic. After the listen
ers are duly impressed and thankful
that such perils have not quite proved
fatal, it is, in the exit. remembered ac-
cidentally that there is one variety that
analysis shows to be absolutely pure,
the name of which is given. Ii desired,
a book will be sent the lady explaining
the facts. Later in the day another
beautiful philanthropist comes TO pre-
sent the promised book. There is no
mercenary feature to tine transaction,

dealers in the only safe infusion in the

Eastern papers represent the Dakotas

If placed to vote of the people

The action of our legislature in propos-

speakers, who would have the govern
ment equalize and adjust things good
deal better, stated that sewing machines
that are sold at $42 cost only 81 to man

it imposes needless hardship upon the
poor women who earn meager sub

American sewing machines that are re-

PERHAPS RLuFFlNG.

The Democrats in Ohio are going
ahead making their nominations for
congress nnder the apportionment Of
the late legislature. At one OF these
conventions, held at the home of ena-
tor BRICE and presumed to be inspired
by him, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the MCCoMAs bill, and max
Ing up an issue, apparently, with the
Republican party in congress. The
contention is over the provision requir-
ing members of the next congress to be
chosen from the same districts that the
present ones we're, in order to undo the
work of the Democrats in Ohio and
Maryland that is about as partisan as
the layout made by the Republicans in
the prior legislatures. This defiant
attitude of the Ohio Democrats is likely
10 stimulate the Republicans I'm
congress to push the bill through.
1t will make no difference PRACTICAL Y
that it is arbitrary and unprecedented,
and violation of wholesome principles
All branches of the government, inciud-
ing the highest court, are in their
hands, and they are not slow TO utilize
their advantages. Should congress pass
the bill, the Ohio Democrats will only
hurt their own heads in trying to butt
their way through it. The situation
then would be that in twenty OF the
twenty-one districts the new ones
would differ from the old. The Demo
Gratis would run candidates in the new
and the Republicans in the old dis
tricts. The Democrats would be elected
in their districts and the Republicans
in theirs, and either all the twenty
Democrats or the twenty Republicans
would be seated. A Republican would
make up the roll of the house, and the
twenty Republicans would be put on.
This would very likely control the con-
gresS and make it Republican. All the
Democrats could do would be to growl
and kick and go home. But it is proba-
bly, bit of bluffing on both sides.
