RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

The report of the interstate commerce
commission, giving the number of rail
roads in operation in the United States
shows how rapidly our railroads are be
ing consolidated. We probably have
fewer roads in point of number thar
thirty years ago, when our mileage wa;
not quarter what it is today. An or.
binary journey then was performed
over half a dozen lines from so to 200
miles, with numerous changes of cars,
and necessarily great deal of coufu-
sion. The work of consolidation has
gone on ever since, the larger roads
swallowing up the smaller ones.
There are nominally 1897 railroad cor
porotions in this country, but of these
81 are private roads and 735 subsidiary
companies, doing no railroad business
themselves, as they have leased their en-
tire milage to other lines. This leaves
927 corporations actually in operation.
A year ago the number was
much larger, for during the past
twelve months 81 companies have
merged their corporation existence
in other lines, while so have CONSOLE
dated, 81 lines in all thus disappearing
during the year. If this rate of disap-
pearing keeps up it would take barely
eleven years to wipe out all the roads,
were it not that new lines are constantly
making their appearance to be ulti-
mately swallowed up by the older and
larger ones.
As it is, half the railroad milage of the
country is controlled by 40 corporations,
while 50 per cent of the total amount
paid by the people to the railroads
corporation goes into the treasury of "A
of our railroad corporations. This con-
solidation is inevitable, and the country
would do well to recognize that fact.
Commenting upon the report of the
commissioners and the question of con-
solidation the New Orleans Times-Demo-
GRAFT thinks it is unfortunate in this re-
spect that it makes the railroads dan
gerously powerful, but it cannot be
denied that in many respects it is con-
venient to the public, and that if the
people had to go back to the old system
of changing cars every hundred miles,
being left over at small towns and sta
tons, they would call for railroad con-
solidation. Legislation may stop ''pool-
ing" to limited extent, but it cannot
and will not stop railroad consolidation,
which will keep on until all the lines of
the country are consolidated under few
great systems. But, while this may en-
tirely dispense with the necessityG0 for
the continuance of that useless sinecure,
the interstate commission, it will not re-
move the necessity for legislation, ma
tional and state, for the proper regulation
of the railroads, but will the rather make |
such legal seveillance all the more nee
essary.

THE ADULTsRATIoN OF BREAD
From the Philadelphia Record.

| From the Philadelphia Record,
| Professor Lehman of Wurzberg, while
making Investigations lately concerning
a new method of separating the grain
from the chaff, analysed eighty samples
| of bread made from coarse, dark flour
such as is commonly eaten by the peas
ants Of the Rhine country. The results
| of bis ANALYSIS was communicated to the
congress of German naturalists and med
zeal men in session recently in Berlin,
and 10 must be confessed that they rather
! tend to strengthen the popular notion
| that every man must eat his peck of
| dirt before he dies" All of the samples
were found to have been debased to an
extent precluding the possibility of the
idea that it could have been accidental;
and among the adulterantS found were
blighted corn, darnel, cookie and other
poisonous seeds. None of the samples
| were free of cookie. and in some the
quantity of this ingredient exceeded
per cent.
Coarse, dark bread is usually consld-
cred the most wholesome; and so it is
when made of flour from the whole
grain and free from impurities. But
when the darkness and coarsenes5 are
used to mask noxious ingredients the
rascallty becomes as perilouS to public
health as, it is heartless. The simple
revelation, however, that sucn state of
things exists should result in an immedi-
ate correction of them. Germany has
an amplitude of laws against adulterants;
and the kaiser himself has recently in
Weighed against the sophistication of
beer. Curiously enough, though, there
is no law to preserve the purity of bread
If the kaiser seeks to better the condition
of his subjects in practical way he
could not begin at better point than
this. If the staff of life is not to be
trusted for strength on what shall a peo-
pie lean?
Apropos of the bread question, it was
recently stated in the cable news that
scientific investigation had shown that
the army bread used in the barracks was
a medium for transmitting disease
germs. 1t is scarcely necessary, how
ever, to go to the remote realms of
bacferiology for the sources of disease,
when they may be found in such palpa-
bic forms and quantities as Professor
Lehman's tests have revealed in the dark
bread of Germany. Perhaps if the
Professors researches should be dupli-
Gated in various other European coun-
tries a sufficient explanation might be
found of the origin of many obscure
maladies, the i'll effects of which are at
times waited across the water to this |
country.

TOM REED,

Every Democrat holds it in his craw
as an acrid reminder of UNFAIRLY ven.
geance, that Tom Reed, viii be only a
member of congress this session, and any
opening whereby he can be put under
the whip and Inundated should be
seized upon eagerly. Reed, the Gear, u
stripped of his authority and his In
genuity for choking off dilatory methods
and capacity for dispatching business,
will be watched with eagle eyes that he
expose one point of his body to the fire.
In the speakership contest, some of the
| candidates even go SO far as to promise
specifically that they will dress Tommy
Reed down. A newspaper correspon-
dent asked each of the five candidates
the following question.
''f you are elected speaker what con-
sideration viii you give to Mr.. Reed?
When Candidate Mills was asked this
question he answered with a look which
indicated that he was too full for utter
ance. Mills suffered more than any
other man on the floor of the house from
Reeds arbitrary tactics. 81 am not
speaker yet, although I may be-" said
Mr.. Mills, ''and if am, we'll" then he
gave a sinister smile and look which
spoke volumes of what he would like to
do to his old torturer.
Mr.. Springer was more exact and more
generous. eff I am elected speaker"
said Mr.. Springer, II would give Mr..
Reed every consideration he is entitled
to as a representative of the people. His
personality is lost in his representative
capacity. Mr.. Reed will be able to learn
lessons in courtesy from the next dem
ocratic house"
Candidate McA1illen talks voluably to
callers, yet when he was asked this lead
ing question he seemed strangely disin-
clined to talk. "Mr. Reed will be push
ed TO the front by his own party" he
said, coldly, and would say no more.
Candidate Crisp, the most genial of
men, became Immediately taciturn
when questioned. 81 have no doubt"
he said, "that Mr.. Reed will receive that
consideration to which his ability emit
ties him."
Blunt Candidate Hatch, Farmer
Hatch, as they call him, laughed deris-
lively, then, checking himself, replied
with mock gravity: Mr., Reed will I'M
doubtedly get more consideration than
he will relish"
So Mr.. Reed, speaker no longer, is the
prize bird that all Democratic guns are
leveled at His powers for self-protec-
ton must be al personal qualifications
and it is quite possible that the Demo
cratic congress will adjourn without
having dressed him down or worried one
pound of flesh from the opulence of his
corpulent self. 1t may demand silence
when he would have spoken,
or discretion, when valor were the thing.
but it is scarce credible that Tommy
Reed will invite retaliation, in which
case, vengence will miss HIM.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
From the st. Joseph News.

From the st. Joseph News.
As it is getting very near the time
when people must begin puzzling their
brains as to what to purchase as Christ
mas presents, it will be just as well to
remember that it will not do give poet
a book Of verse, an artist picture, a
musician volume of music, smoker q
box of cigars, etc. Such persons are
generally good judges of these things, or
at least have strong opinions about
them. The chances are against you
making choice in these lines that will
please them, and not TO please them is of
course to fail in your object in making a
gift. And there are not many husbands
who could select bonnet or dress TO
satisfy his wife. 1t is just as well to
recognize these things at the start and
yield to the inevitable. A lot of money
may be saved by considering the differ
ences in taste, and lot of martyrdom
also in the present festival time for
shoppers. A loving husband will suffer
untold agonies endeavoring to smoke up
box of perfecto de asafetida cigars be-
fore he will let his wife know that she
lost all her Judgment in regard to to-
bacco before she was born. On the other
hand, a loving wife will become martyr
and wear dress that makes her per
feet fright just to convince her husband
that she appreciates his gift.

THE OPENING OUTLET.

| From the columns of the Kiowa Jour
nal it is very evident that the good peo-
pie of that town are very happy over the
announcement that the strip will soon
be declared open, as they are very
sanguine that much good will result to
Kiowa as border entrepot and trading
point for the new settlers. Undoubtedly
they will not be disappointed as to either
proposition.
The Southern Kansas and the Missouri
Pacific both reach Kiowa, the former
extending from that point southwest
through the territory into the Pan
handle of Texas. The Missouri Pacific
will hardly parallel the Southern Kan
sas, but rather strike down more direct
ly south through better country to-
wards Contonment.
Caldwell, forty-fve miles east of
Kiowa, is like favorably situated with
reference to the strip, and with the same
number of railways. Both of these
border cities are reached by Wichita
with two railroads each. The Journal
says,
Ask man in our city if he feels that
the spirit of progress is abroad in our
land and his face will brighten and he
is intoxicated With delight while he tells
you that the EAGLE says the govern
ment commissioners have completed the
purchase of the Cherokee outlet. Every
little boy has caught the spirit of the
enthusiasm of the city and in his wild
flight to school tells every other boy
what he has already heard before. Why
this sudden revival For four long,
weary years have our citizens patiently
waited for the dawn of the fulfllment of
the promised land to be given us as our
heritage for all future ages. 1t has long
been the haunt of all kinds of des-
peradoes who could steal the settlers
horses or cattle and run them to some
secluded canyon. All this will now
be changed and the quiet, happy
homes OF the pioneers will dot the
landscape on every hand, and civil
ization will follow their settlement.
Kiowa is bounded on the south by this
great natural agricultural resource and
it means millions to the prosperity of her
future valuation. Our fine system of
competing railways enables our mer-
chants to sell all kinds of merchandise
lower than any other town; as it is the
terminus of one and the chief shipping
point Of the other. 1t is well estab-
lished axiom that where railroad compe-
tition is the strongest, goods are the
cheapest and farm products the highest
Hence. it is reasonable to presume that
Kiowa's supremacy is an assured fact.
There is not resident of our fair city
but what feels proud of the fact that our
feet now rest upon the threshold of the
most magnificent area of this unculti-
waited territory, and we now know the !
day is not far distant when we can reach |
out with our other arm of steel and con-
troll the traffic and industry of that vast |
domain; and in five years our city will |
become the busiest and one of the most |
cities outside of Wichita.
