THE SHORT HAUL ONCE MORE.

In the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the case of King VS.. the New
York aud New Haven Railroad. the plain
tiff in that case is a merchant doing business
at Readville, an inland town eight miles
from Boston. He bought flour in New
York and had it conveyed to him by rail.
The raj lroad charged him more for freight
than it WIS charging for carrying -four eight
miles beyond him, TO wit: to Boston. He
sued to recover the difference between the
two rates. The commission held that this
was case in which the conditions and cir
cumstances in the carriage of merchandise
from New York to Boston and from New
York 10 Readville were dissimilar; that the
freight rate from New York to Boston was
made by the steamer lines, and had to be
accepted by the railroad lines; that there
being no steamer lines to Readvile the
plaintiff could not invoke the shorter haul
clause of the law and must be nonsuited.
There is nothing new in the decision.
Similar conclusions had been reached by
the commission in cases from the South
where railroads met river competition and
the latter made the rates. The new de-
cision merely affirms the doctrine that where
a railroad has to compete. as to its terminal
points, with carriers by water, shippers are
not wronged If it makes lower rates between
those terminals than it makes between in
termediate points where there is no water
competition.

MARVELLOUS PROGRESS.

A Buenos Ayres merchant now in New
York has considerable to say about the mar
velous progress Of the Argentine Republic
I his marvellous progress was, however,
founded on borrowed capital. In other
words, the men in control of affairs set the
bond-mill in operation several years ago and
have kept it at work ever since. When the
bond-mill once starts it finds no good place
to stop at. All mopey-lenders insist on
prompt payment Of interest. The principal
may stand for long time if the high rate
of interest third or fourth class securities
command is paid IN cash. Other bonds may
be issued and sold at discount, but bond
holders want money when interest becomes
due. There is only one natural end to this
kind of business. This end is a general
liquidation in which everything is sacrificed
to get where they were when the bond-mill
started-that is, on a cash basis. The Bue-
nos Ayres merchant says: 1--WE have con-
tracted debts which will hang round our
necks like millstones for great many years.
= for these debts must be paid, or at least The
interest on them" This interest is the point
where the pinch comes. Interest must be
paid in gold. though business may be con-
Quoted on paper basis. The debts will be
paid ten times over before the bonds will be
surrendered. The British holders Of these
bonds will get their money back in the form
of interest. if they should lose the principal
outright. But what has been done with the
money so borrowed? TIE merchant from
whom we have quoted says they have built
the beautiful city of La Plata with it. The
people are proud of their new capital city. 1t
contains all the modern Improvements, in
Guiding ornamental parks, and is lighted
with electricity. Probably some progress
i've spirits thought they would make La
Plata the Paris of South America, and as
consequence Of this so-called progress they
have beautifuI city which is likely to be
sold under the hammer.

A CHASTITY FIND.


A Human Skeleton Unearthcd in Cellar
Yesterday.
A certain young man Of this city made a
CHASTITY discovery yesterday morning while
eXcavating a cellar under a building in this
town, which may prove of interest to some
body.
The young n an referred to was shoveling
up pile of loose dirt when his attention
was attracted by the shovel coming in con-
tact with q hard substance of some kind.
He continued his digging. and was horror
stricken when he pushed the shovel deep
into the earth and on withdrawing it found a
human skull attached to the keen edge of
the shovel, the blade having been forced
through the crown of the skull. This discov-
cry aroused the young explorers curiosity,
and he eagerly continued the shoveling
Dirt flew in every direction; tie lad did
not pause for even breath, ana nothing
but the click of the shovel as 1t struck more
bones disturbed the stiffness of the dark
cellar, where the human bones were removed
from their resting-place. After fifteen or
twenty minutes labor the youth uuearthed a
human skeleton, wrapped in burlap sacks
and in good state of preservation.
The young gent now has the bones in his
possession, and, like every one else, is in the
dark as far as the identity Of the remains is
concerned.
A great many stories concerning the Skel-
eton are told among those WHO are fully ac-
Quainted With the details of the discovery !;
however, nothing definite is yet known.
The name of the disc0yerer and the place
of discovery are withheld from publication
until later date in order to afford an OPP
portunity of investigating the matter, as
one well known in this kind of work has
charge of it and will sift it to the BOTTOM

Rumor That Justice Charles n. Fox
Will Seek 1t.
The question of James A. Gibson's in
tenton to resign his position as Commits
soner Of the Supreme Court was variously
discussed yesterday, and the impression is
that he will decide to step down and out at
a very early day. In view of this it is ru-
mored that Justice c. n. Fox, whose term
of Office win expire ON January LIST, will be
an applicant for the position. What other
changes will be made has not yet been an
nounced, but it stands to reason that two at
least of the three Democrats now in the of
flee will be thrust out upon the tender mer-
cies of the cold and cruel world. One of
them may be retained until such a time as
the new employees succeed in mastering the
details of the work

Children VIII Be Stopped by the Police
From Asking Aims.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children is beginning to fight against the
use of little children by unscrupulous
parents for begging. OF late, the Secretary
says, it is an abuse rather than a use, for
children are driven forth upon the streets or
dragged about the skirts of some wretched
woman, a drunkard in all probability, to ex-
cite sympathy and wiring money from many
pockets.
Yesterday woman named Meteria Ivan
ovich was seen on Clay street begging from
paSser5-by. Accompanying her were three
little ones who begged with perslstency
Few people could resist their appealing
looks, and so the mother, who gathered all
their aims, was filling her purse with dimes
and nickels. She had monkey to attract
whatever attention the miserable appear
ance of herself and youngsters failed TO
draw. She was arrested and charged with
using children for begging" Other ar
rests for the same offense will follow to-day
and on succeeding days Tor little while.
The woman is said to belong to a gypsy
band. Her husband makes few dollars in
other parts of town with dancing bear

WHAT NEXT?

The Reform Democracy were unquestion-
ably in the right when they discarded Buck
ley and his methods in this city. No self
respecting body of men could sanction such
outrages as were being constantly COM
mitted. We think, however, that the re-
form opposition should have discarded
Buckeyes State as well as city ticket. but
perhaps this was as far as the members OF
the organization could all agree to go.
If the next Legislature carries out the
wishes of the people we shall obtain the
enactment of a law similar in its features to
that known as the Australian system of vot-
ing, which is working we'll in the States
where it is being tried. We shall be able to
break down nominations made by bosses.

THE ENGINEERS PRESENTIMENT.
He Died With His Boots On, as He Had
ed.


Expected.
The sudden and awful death of Engineer
McFadden recalls very wildly story that
is told about the brave and nervy man who
met his fate while at the post of duty
Engineer McFadden, as is well known, was
connected with the old Oregon and Cali
fornia Railroad Company for many years.
During that time, extending over period
of twenty-five years, he had been in good
many accidents and run many narrow es-
capes. All will wildly remember the fear
full accident at Lebanon junction last sum-
mer year ago, in which Engineer John
{" Big Jack ~ Miller and Fireman
Quint Guthrie were killed. The tragic fate
OF Big jack seemed TO have made a
very strong and lasting impression on
the mind of Engineer McFadden and
has been regarded by him some
Very soon after Miller's death an old
friend of MeFadden met the latter, and
naturally the circumstances of the acct
dent and the fate of Miller were discussed.
"Well, john" SAID the old gentleman, 1.-The
fate of poor Jack ought 10 be taken as a
warning by all you railroaders Take my
advice and get out of it while yeur skin is
whole. Sooner or later it catches all who
follow it. Better get out Of such dangerous
business" McFadden smiled sadly and
said he knew it was full OF danger, and
added, 1t catches nearly every fellow with
his boots on who follows railroading long
enough
Not long after Miller's death McFadden
met with an accident near Turner Station.
The train was coming down the track at a
lively rate, when the locomotive suddenly
plowed into band of frightened sheep.
The crushed and mangled carcasses kept
piling up in front of the engine until they
reached height of several feet. MeFadden
put on brakes and reversed, but the locomo-
tive climbed UP on top Of the bleeding mass
of mutton and went over into the ditch.
McFadden and the fireman had very mar
row escape from death, and did not come
out of it without serious injuries. McFad-
den was laid up for some time, but on re-
covering went uack like a brave fellow to
his post Of danger The dreadful accident
of Wednesday evening tells the story of his
instant death. His prediction, +" it catches
all with their boots on who follow it long
enough" had its CHASTITY fulfillment.-Port-

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-11-24

The Republican party in the cam
paign of 1883 was guilty of making
many promises through its orators,
newspapers and political leaders-the
good times promised to get votes did
not come with harrison. Congress
was dilatory in enacting pension
law. Relief to the west was not grant
ed i'm the manner asked, and the Nc
Kinley tariff discussion was appar-
emily all in the interests of the
northeastern section of the United
States, where the wealth of the
country has been accumulated.
Debts are coming due, money
scarce, the party in which we
had placed our faith did not come to
our relief as promised. Old political
parties that have been long in power
become tyranRical and its leaders AFRO
giant, land such revolutions as the recent
election are necessary to bring leaders
TO see their mistakes. The Republic
can party leaders may desire Senator
Ingalls, return. The masses believe
he has become arrogant and do not
want him. We believe the Republic
can party has been as loyal to him as
he deserves. We for one think it
mistake for the government to assist
Wall street spectators in their finan-
cial difficulties. The public treasury
has never yet been used to assist the
producing classes when in financial
distress. A few financial squeezes
in Wall street would take some of the
water ont of railroad and other stocks.
The late political revolt is the result
of such discrimination. The eastern
capitalist will learn that there is
security greater than land mortgages
or bonds that the whole interest of
the people cannot be sacrificed to pro-
tect aud enhance his accumulated
dollars.-Garnett (R.-P.) Nor. II, 80.
Good enough, Biookie.. How is it
that you have so suddenly come to the
above conclusion ? Not long ago-you

said that the F. NJ. B, AS. were in
open revolt. Welda Farmer told you
that it was the G. o. p. that was in
revolt, and it appears by the above
article that you have found it out for
yourself. It's not very long ago that
your were abusing our party roundly
and taking pride in the g. o. p. work,
both public and private, and said they
never did wrong; and also said that
to have the so-called Peoples party
get in power would be a calamity to
the whole country that it would not
soon recover from (but 1 reckon you
must have meant a calamity to the
g. O. p.) Now it's both refreshing and
ludicrous to see how the old partisans
are wiggling and twisting and getting
ready to desert the old hulk, just like
a multitude of rats in leaky ship.
It's astonishing how few little pieces
Of paper will convince some people
and make them take water. The

The ifs, why's and wherefores that
ale now being published and going
up and down the lines of the old ring
boss party, as explanations of the
late political earthquake in the party,
proves that the people are justified in
forming and organizing new polit-
ical party. Their explanations are
simply acknowledgements of their
being guilty Of each and every count
as charged in the Peoples indictment
against them. Hence we urge that
the good people of this nation never
cease organizing and getting together
in one grand, national political party
that v i'll enact and enforce such laws
as will protect the masses against the
combined powers of villainy that are
now being fostered by both the old
ring boss parties. Now then friends
of right and justice, if your old party
cannot, or don't even attempt to, wipe
out the corrupt com binations that are
robbing people of their property and
lives, then you are to blame for vol
ing and acting with party that will
not attempt to do it. A party is SIM
ply human machine to be used, and
voter is responsible for using the
right machine.

Brooke, of the Plaindeaer, wonders

BROOKE, of the Plaindeaer, wonders
If Welda Farmer is conceited enough to
imagine the undistinguishable words he
attempted to utter were the cause of the
Peoples mirth. Well yes, Brooke,
Welda Farmer has just that much con-
ceit, after hearing the result of the cleo
ton. Are you sure, Brooke, that the
People were not laughing at the gro
tesque figure you cut while perched up
in tree in the park, and, with pencil
and paper in hand, were trying to keep
your equilibrium while taking notes of
the PETER meeting, thus trying to earn
your campaign money! And in your
frenzy you thought the people did not
understand the''unmusical and undistin-
guishable voice Of Welda Farmer"
Methinks you understood it, at all
events, and that is what made you 80
mad. You say that Welda Farmer as
pires to be Giovanni, but his voice is as
cracked as his brain. Well, that's good.
You acknowledge that Welda Farmer
has brain. Thank you. He wishes he
could reciprocate the compliment, but the
fact is, you lack that most important fac
ulty. or you would never. as q so-called
editor OF paper. try to run political
campaign by Islander and abuse. That
Kind of work will not be tolerated by the
respectable portion OF the American
people; and you, in slandering and
abusing the candidates of the opposition,
have only caused the people to investi-
gate for themselves, and, finding your
statements false, voted with the party
you opposed. Welda Farmer asked why
we couldn't have respectable canvass,
and discuss issues and principles invOlv-
ed. The Plaindealer replied, and said
that it merely desired to call attention to
the fact that they 1.-THE People] have no
national party, and never will have, and
hence it is folly to discuss national mat
tiers in a strictly local campaign. But
Welda Farmer has an idea. since reading
the Plaindealer of Nov. 18th, and the
article headed "The Republican Party
and the People," that the editor has
come to the conclusion that we have
national party. 1t is a very good article,
and says the Republican party will get
down from it's high perch and past rec
ord, and march along with the People,
in the middle of the road. Very good,
better late than never; and
Notwithstanding you are great sinner,
there is hope for you yet, by keeping in
the middle of the road with the People;
but we will be compelled TO watch you
for season. WELDA FARMER.
