Western Traffic Association
Commissioners Find New
Tasks.
All Missouri River Roads
Asked to File Reports Of
Business.
New Form of Stock Shippers
Tickets Adopted by the
Committee.
The Rock Island-Union Pacific
Fight Still Con-
tinues.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Haying completed
their work of establishing the territorial
divisions of the new Western Traffic
association, the six commissioners will
next turn their attention to the more
formidable problem of fixing the per-
centages by which competitive traffic is
to be divided among the various roads.
IhlS is SO important and delicate task
that the commissioners approach it
with apparent hesitation. as if they
doubted their ability to perform 1t to
the satisfaction of all concerned. AS
preliminary step they have asked all
the Missouri river roads to file reports
of their business for last year, these to
be used as basis for determining the
amount Of traffic each road is entitled
to. The traffic officials of the interested
lines are apparently becoming con-
WINGED that the presidents agreement
will be put into operation with
all the machinery necessary to
give it fair trial, as they are
trimming their sails accordingly. The
general passenger agent of the Rock
Island to-day sent out circular letter
to his travelling and local agents, in
which he says: "All rules and regula-
tions of the various associations under
which we are working must be strictly
maintained and carried out. Any VIC
lation of our present agreements will
cause serious trouble, and you will be
held strictly accountable for the proper
conduct of our passenger business. This
company proposes in every way to give
assistance to the chairman of our asSo-
Citations with the idea of bringing about
a perfect condition of affairs in our ter
ritory, and no irregularity of any de-
scriptiOn will be permitted" The out
side agents of other roads are to receive
similar instructions. A report that has
been circulated here to the effect that
the Chicago & Alton has applied for adj
mission to the new association is denied
by the officials of that road. General
Manager Chappell said to-day: There
has been nothing said on either side. We
have not been asked to Join, and we
have certainly not asked to be let ill.,"

KEIGHLEY ASSAULTED.
Attacked by. Half-Crazed Hun
gaPian Miners.

MAMMOTH, Pa. Feb. 2.-Supt. Keigh-
ley, of the Inflated mine, was assaulted
to-day by wives of victims of the recent
explosion. The attack was led by
German woman named Heinlich. When
tine superintendent arrived at the mine
he. was met at the entrance by the
woman, who sprang at him like
tigress. She was shaken off with con-
siderable difficulty. A number of Hun
gafians followed the attack by Stoning
Mr. Keighley. Some of the missiles
struck him, causing painful bruises.
The families of the victims are being

want. Over $4,000 has been given to
the bereaved families, the committee

WHAT THEY MEAN.

Perhaps the senator who was politi-
cally buried by the Alliance at Topeka,
the other day, may find comfort in the
conceit that extraordinary modes of
warfare we're necessary to crush him.
He may suspect that the honest agri-
cultural statesmen feared his craft and
adeptneSS in enforcing his schemes.
There was novelty in the discipline
Instituted by the Alliance. The caucus
was held under the most rigid applica-
ton of the Alliance machinery. There
were grips and passwords and showing
Of credentials of membership in the
legislature. Every Alliance legislator
was accounted for and made to give
assurance of fidelity to the order in the
pledge to abide the result. Then the
candidates for senator were brought
in one at time, like witnesses before a
grand jury, or preacher on trial for a
pulpit, and put through course of in-
quify or tests, all being required to do
the pacific sheep act in case some other
fellow came out ahead, which was the
inevitable result for q dozen or so. In
the Illinois legislature each party has,
during the senatorial contest, steering
committee that is supposed to have an
eye on every one of the legislators of
the party day and night, and be respon:
sible for his appearance in the joint
ballot each day at II o'clock. DAYS be-
fore the caucus, and more especially
after the arrival of INGALLS,, these
Alliance leaders had every one of their
members accompanied constantly by
more or less visible guardians. No be-
quilting enemy could have a personal
interview with one of them, and ca t.
ing or sleeping there was constant and
vigiiant eye about. This seems absurd.
and not quite complimentary to the
Legislators. But it was persistently
claimed by the INGALLS, emiSsaries that
he could swing twenty or more of the
Alliance men and capture the legisIa-
ture. They feared his arts, remember
ing peculiar incidents connected with
his first election. His defeat was their
first and most intense aim. involving, in
addition to obnoxious principles and
practices, the stability ard efficiency of

STOCK TICKETS.
New Form for Shippers Adopted
by the Committee.

Nv Ine OOUllilltUec.
CHICAGO, Feb. "A meeting of the
traffic managers of the western roads
was held to-day to hear the report of
the committee appointed last week to

ct which could not be used to democrat

recommended by the committee was
adopted. 1t is to be punched descriptive,

composed of T. S. Miller, of the Bur-

INTELLIGENCE NEEDED.

The legislature of Colorado is consid-
ering and quite likely to adopt an intel
ligence qualification for the exercise of
the right of suffrage. The state con-
stitution has prohibited this action until
1890. Some phaseof the subject is often
before legislatures. Several of the New
England states require some small
ability in the way of reading and writ
ing, and recently Mississippi has gone
a little further and insisted that the in
telligence should rise to ability to I'M
derStand some provisions of the consti-
tuition. There is no doubt that some
degree of intelligence should be had by
the voter. The difficulty is to fix a
standard of measurement. The man
who can spell out words and write his
name may be much inferior in intelli-
gence to the one who can do neither.
There are prosperous business men,
who have acquired wealth, who have
never learned to read At least one
president of the United States did not
learn to read until he was of age, but
no one would question that he was in
telligent enough to vote safely. One
case is recalled of a commissioned Of
ficer in the army, who served through
the war and could not read. Still, he
was not an ignorant man, and under
stood how to vote properly. All agree
that general ignorance and free gov
eminent are Incompatible. Public Sc
curity requires that the suffrage shall
be welded with some measure Of intel
lisence, but the difficulty is to find a
standard. There is an increasing dispo-
sition to enhance the sanctity and re-
strict the avenues to the ballot box.
This was seen in the constitutions of
the Dakotas. Some who had been vot-
ers were temporarily shut out. The
value of the suffrage cab hardly be put
too high in free government.
