1T SHOULD BE DECIDED HERE

At the meeting of the freight agents of
the Western railways centering in Pitts
burg the long-standing application of the
pig iron interests for reduction of the
rate from the valleys to P1ttsburg was
again presented. The local agents are re-
ported as impressed favorably toward the
application; but the usual course was
taken of referring it to the Central Traffic
Association.
This exhibits one feature of the combi.
nation policy of the railroads. The de-
cision of the question Of rates affecting the
prosperity of single region is not left to
the railroads doing the business. Even
the joint decision of the men in close touch
with the interests involved, and knowing
the capabilities and needs of the traffic,
is not permitted. The question must be
referred to a committee meeting hundreds
of miles away, some of whom have no
interest in developing the traffic of this
region, and some of whom may even be
interested in preventing it from securing
all the advantages it might secure by in
dependent action.
The request for rate in the vicinity of
fifty cents per ton seems like large one;
but recently published statistics show it in
different light. The census bulletin on
railway statistics shows that the aver
age rate per ton mile on all freight
in group II, consisting of New York,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and
part of West Virginia, was slightly
over eight-tenths of cent. The
proposed rate is at that average. But pig

ANOTHER SHIP CANAL SCHEME.
An Ohio Senator Wants to Connect the
River With The Lakes.

River With the Lakes.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 15.-Hon. W. c. Gear, OF
Wyandot, who was a member of the last
House and Will be a member of the next
Senate, is here to-day, and gives the outline
of a bill, which he will introduce early III
the session, providing for the abandonment
of a portion of the canal system of the State.
The bill which Senator Gear has prepared
provides for the appointment by the Cover
nor of a commissioner to act in conjunction
with the State Board of Public Works IN
selling the canals and canal property be-
longing to the State, except the Miami and
Erie Canal from Toledo to Cincinnati and
that portion of the Ohio Canal between
Cleveland and Dresden. The idea of the
author of the bill is that the State, with the
assistance of the general Government.
should widen and deepen the two canals so
as to convert them into ship canals by
which large boats could ply between Lake
Erie and the Ohio river.
Senator Gears proposition is to divert the
course of the Ohio Canal into tine Musking-
um, recently improved by the Government,
at Dresden, which would permit Lake Erie
boats to enter the Ohio river at Marietta,
while he would divert the course of the
Miami and Erie into Mill creek at Cincin-
natl, cutting off that portion lying within
the city limits, which would permit the con-
struction of boulevard so long talked of.
senator Gear, who is civil engineer. esti-
mates that the cost of the Miami and Erie
Improvement would be about $lS,00OOOO,
while that of the Ohio Canal would amount
to $40, COO, 600. The proceeds derived from the
sale of the canal property and the abandoned
portions of the canals, Senator Gear thinks,
would go far toward paying for the proposed
improvement

people of the United States do not pay
Brother Crisp $1,000 year to devote his
industry and ability to the interests, real
or unreal, of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Crisp would, of course, if answering
this jibe, reply from his partisan stand
point that the real interests of the Demo-
cratic party are the real interests OF the
country, and in devoting himself to the
one he devotes himself to the other. And
Democratic organ might pertinently say
that a newspaper which smiles on the rec
ord of the Hon. Thomas B. Reed in the
Speakers chair might be little more
modest in demanding that a Democratic
Speaker shall abjure party on assuming
the position. But the New York
Telegram rushes to the defense with
the following assertion: "Judge Crisp
was at that moment addressing body OF
Democrats as such who had designated
him for a public post. When Speaker
Crisp has an opportunity of addressing
the people of the whole country he Will
no doubt strike a broader note" In other
words, the Speaker is to say one thing to a
partisan body, but, if we can comprehend
the meaning of that mixed metaphor "a
broader note,' ne is to say another thing
to the whole country.
"Any way" concludes the Telegram,
'please observe that man who is faith
full to his party is reasonably sure to ac-
ceptably serve the public" Let us see.
Tweed was faithful to his party, the cer-
tain fortress Of all machine politicians, in
cluding those Republicans whom the 1ete-
gram is wont to condemn, that are faith
full to their party Consequently, Tweed,
Connolly, Croker, Dudley, Quay and the
entire class on both sides of the political
fence are reasonably sure to acceptably
serve the public" Of course, such an
avowal furnishes full vindication Of the
last Speaker from all the Democratic at
tacks upon him. The logic of once
independent paper converted into an organ
is often extremely useful as a warning.

iron is freight far below the average in
the cost of handling. 1t is one of the
cheapest classes, and is moreover one of
the fundamental freights on which vast
volume of other traffic depends.
The pig iron interests are quite right in
asserting that such questions should be
decided by the men who are familiar with
the subject and interested in the develop
ment of the traffic. They might go fur
ther and assert that each railroad should
decide the question for itself, solely upon
its relations to its own traffic. But that
will never be done so long as the combina-
ton policy prevails which carefully re-
serves the decision of such questions for
an organization interested only in keeping
up railway charges.

COL. MERRILL,s SERVICES.

Pittsburg will join as community in
the public regrets over the death of Col.
VIM. E. Merrill. Although that officer
was never resident of this city, his posi-
ton made a prominent figure in connec-
tion with our river interests, and his long
services in the work of bringing out the
greatest possibilities of that natural water
way, the Ohio river, identified him with
both the past and future of Pittsburg.
The most striking result of Col. Merrill's
labors in the interest of Pittsburg's river
transportation was the Davis Island dam;
but in addition to that work, the labor of
twelve years in maintaining and improv-
ing the navigation of the Ohio entities
him to tribute from Pittsburgs CONNER
cial bodies. There is no doubt that the
recognition of Col. Merrill's public SER
vices to Pittsburg will be prompt and
warm.

THE CANAL REPORTS PROGRESS.

The Ohio River and Lake Erie Ship
Canal is now before tine Government.
Yesterday Senator Quay presented bill
providing for its survey, and it only re-
mains for the Congressman who represent
the districts interested to push this pre-
liminary step further.
By a proper presentation of the benefits
to be derived from a waterway of the
character designed by the projectors of
the Ohio River and Lake Erie Ship Canal
other localities than Western Pennsyl-
vania, Eastern Ohio and the river-washed
sections of West Virginia will be aroused.
When the coal, coke, glass, iron and steel
consuming regions reached by lake, river
and canal navigation East and West
through the medium of the proposed
waterway realize fully its advantages, the
national servants of the constitu-
encies which now stand alone in
its interest will have powerful
allies. 1t is not by any means sectional
scheme or job whereby clique hopes
TO reap harvest through Government
aid. 1t is a necessity of development
which, while in measure local, rebounds
TO the benefit of the whole Nation-an
improvement that will be prosperous in
peace and powerful in war.
In the advocacy of the survey bill all
the internal waterway interests should,
and no doubt will, heartily join. To aid
them in argument all who have the inter-
ests of the project at heart should furnish
such data as will convince the skeptical
that the canal for which Senator Quay has
asked survey is a legitimate, business
like, resource-developing enterprise-not
a stock-watering foreign scheme like the
Nicaragua ghost now plaguing the ad-
ministration that embraced it.

AN aoNORABLE sETTLEMENr

The announcement that the estate of
Hon. William A. Wallace has been re-
stored to his personal direction without
impairment is gratifying. Mr.. Wallace
under pressure of business complications
early in the year made an assignment; but
the clearest assurance of the good condi-
tion of his affairs is that, with the consent
of all his creditors, the court has vacated
it, and returned the property to his con-
troll
This is gratifying in a double sense
The efforts Of Mr.. Wallace in developing
the resources of the Clearfeld region have
added millions to the wealth of that dis
trict. 1t may be that his business troubles
arose from the extended condition of his
affairs as result of that effort, and every
one will be glad to know he has fair
chance of getting out of his embarrass-
ments with enough to pay his creditors
and margin for himself.
There is even more qualification in the
evidence thus given of Mr.. Wallace's high
standard of business morals in the care he
took to protect his creditors. Most insol-
vencies of late have been remarkable for
the entire disappearance of assets. But
this one shows that the creditors were so
well protected as to warrant the return of
the property to his hands-an arrange
ment equally creditable to both sides.

Is Forepaugh's snake charmer, and who
winters in this place with his cage of per-
forming reptiles, missed a 4-foot boa con-
strictor Sunday morning. The snake es-
capped the night before from its box in

success. Yesterday morning, at the open
door, it craWled into the house of James
Reasoner, while the family were in the rear
portion.
When the mother entered the sitting room
she saw the monster stretched across the
apartment floor beside her sleeping baby.
Her screams alarmed the neigh borhood and
when Craig arrived with some others they
found that the serpent had already swal-
lowed one of the child's legs, who, awaken
ing with yell, had alarmed the inmates.
The constructors jaws were pried open and
the infants leg was Withdrawn, after which
the reptile grew so furious that he had to be
tied with ropes before he could be removed.

Howard Davis, aged years, taken from the

Smith, showed signs of hydrophobia. He
became violent barking and swapping like

ing him makes the startling statement that
the trouble is the result of blow over the
boys heart, caused by a SNOWFALL thrown at
school several days ago. The mark of the
blow is visible. A year ago the boy was
bitten in the hand by pet dog at the home
OF Ezra Moore, at Salem, where he lived for
time.
Another case of hydrophobia is reported
from Hartford City, Ind. A l0-year-old son
of William Smith, a farmer, has all the
actions OF a cat during the spasms with
which he has been afflicted daily, ana twice
Saturday he was tied fast to his bed, yet it
was with difficulty that five men could man
age him without danger to themselves. He
spits like cat, claws, and as the spell at
tacks him. paws and plays like one and licks
himself with his tongue. Fully 50 men were
present during his last spasms. He was
bitten by cat about year ago, but no BAD
effects followed.
