A BIG CABBAGE STORY.
okLAHoNA C1rA. Dec. a6, go.

OKLAHOMA CITA, Dec. 20, go.
To the Editor of the Eagle:
Just north of this city there is a field
of cabbages which. | think, will beat
anything, under the same circumstances,
in any other section of the United
States:
The seed was sown in July but did not
come up until September. Not an hour
of work was put upon the field after
sowing, as it was thought to be too late
for it then to make crop. This fact,
taken in connection with the further
fact of its being new ground, and fall
breaking at that, shows under what I'M
favorable circumstances the crop grew.
The owner began to gather good solid
heads of cabbage in November, and
about Thanksgiving five heads were
picked that weighed together over 100
pounds. There are hundreds of others
equally large, and growth does not seem
to have been retarded by the late cold
snap, as some heads have increased ten
pounds in weight in little over two
weeks. He gathers two or three wagon
loads per week, which he sells at . cents
per pound. Who can beat this: A.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF ELECTIONS.

From the Globe-Democrat.
Those who are urging the passage of
the federal election bill do not stop TO
consider the fact that such legislation is
calculated to increase rather than to di-
minish the present political evils in the
south. They seem to think that law of
this sort would enforce itself, and that
all local distractions would vanish at a
word. But they should remember that
the states have certain powers which
NAV be directly and effectively used to
hinder and defeat this form of federal
inter ference in their affairs. In presl-
Dental election, particularly, 1t would
be possible to interpOse a conclusive bar
rier against such supervision and regula-
ton. The matter of choosing electors Is
expressly delegated to the states by the
constitution. Congress has no authority
to provide how said electors shall be Sc
lected The state is supreme In that re-
gard. and may adopt any method that 1t
pleases. There is no necessity for uni
formity in the matter, each state
having the right TO act indie
pendently upon the subject. The
simple device of b4llot-box for electors
at the polling place for state and county
officers, apart from the congressional
polling places, would eifectually prevent
the operation of the federal law; and
there are several other ways in which
the same result could be reached.
1t Is not to be doubted that the south
ern states would take advantage of such
opportunities TO evade an obnoxious
statute. They have given fair notice of
their intention to use all the means at
their command To protect themselves IN
the control of their elections, and a law
designed to take that power away from
them could only serve to provoke bad
feeling toward the government. and -
increase the measure Of sectional preju-
dice and arrangement The Republican
party cannot afford 70 assume the re-
sponSibihtv OF thus sntagOnlzing the
whole white population of the south. 1t
Is not in a condition 10 take the chances
Of thus offending a large element
in the north. The experiment
could not possibly promote its
chances of electing the next president.
Ii would lose far more votes than 1t
would gain. The arguments IN favor Of
the pending bill are all Of a sentimental
order. and have no weight from a racti-
cal point Of view 1t l. true that cleo
tions in the south are not honestly con
Quoted as a general thing, and the fact
i greatly 10 be lamented; but there is no
reason 10 believe that the proposed policy
Of Federal supervision would work any

thing goes TO show that the matter
would be made worse. The people are
emphatically opposed 10 the theory Of
the measure. and they can not be recon
c!led TO il IN any degree. IL would be

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROAD.

There are no doubt many persons IN
this country who earnestly and honestly
favor the control if not the ownership of
the railroads by the government. There
are some arguments in favor of the pro-
position, though the prepondance IS de-
cidedly against it. But the arguments,
from theoretical standpoint aside-andit
must be allowed that all that have been
advanced in favor of the scheme are of
that sort-pratical experience where 1t
has been tried ought to have greater
weight in determining action thereon
than all the theories that could be sug-
gested. however plausible and fine spun.
Speaking to this subject the London
Railway News, which gave it close and
careful investigation, says:
"When the network of state railways
was created in France, it was intended
to serve as an example of economical
management and efficient working for
the great companies. Whether these
expectations have been realized may be
Judged from the results obtained in 1889.
By purchases of lines originally,
anu SuDStNillcllJ tAlCLolO1o, TIC oISNC
network now forms a total OF
about 1860 miles. Their cost was about
800, 900, 000f, and the receipts last year
exceeded the working expenses by
S,2jS, 697f. The net revenue on capital
was consequently little over per cent,
and as the purchasing money was raised
by the treasurer at per cent, including
the sinking fund, the actual loss on the
year was nearly 24,000,000f. The pro-
portion of working expenses to receipts
was 76t per cent, while those of the great
companies ranged from A to 55 per cent.
1t must be admitted that all the great
trunk lines belong TO the companies, but
they have also number of secondary
lines, worked at 50 or 80 per cent, or at
a loss, the construction of which was
imposed on them. The companies, how
ever, pay a large sum TO the state III the
form of stamps on their shares and de-
bentures, taxes or transfers, and dtvl-
dends, ETC.. while the state lines yield
nothing. The experiment can scarcely
be considered a success.

PROPOSED ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

A new scheme in electric railroading

The Republicans in the United States
senate who were all harmony during the
first week Of December, seem now as
hopelessly divided as was the party
through the states in the last election.
The hope now for any revision of the
Mckinley blunder, the chances for the
Forney bankrupt bill and the demand
for financial relief in any shape, seems
all to have vanished through division in
the party. As for the majority in the
house it is as listless as the boy who has
been trashed and is still unable to make
up his mind to quit snubbing.
