A LITTLE STORY ABOUT EXPORTS.

1t is a nice question whether Newport
News or Philadelphia will secure the
larger share of the export movement of
the great wheat and corn crops of 1891.
Philadelphia has the advantage of a
considerable import trade; of 200 years
experience; of a population vast by COM
parison; of great manufacturing indus
tries; of wealth; of political pull; and a
hundred other inducements to traffic
unknown to Newport News.
But Newport News has the one thing
necessary besides access to the sea. 1t
has railroad reaching into the corn and
wheat country which is doing all it can
to build up Newport News; and it is do
ing famously.
This is a very short story; but it is full
of meaning and point for the people of
the West and particularly the railroad
people. The point is that the export
traffic from the West is bound to find
ports of exit by the shortest and most di-
rect routes, which to the West and
Southwest means the Gulf. either east or
west # the mouth of the Mississippi, or
ba h.

PEFFER'S SOLDER MONEY.

The Abilene Reflector says of Senator
PETERS pension money" bill:
One of the most remarkable provisions
of the bill is the following concerning The
soldier money!" 1t shall not be taxed
in the hands of any person or corporation
by or under the laws of any state" This
is exactly the kind of money the banks
and corporations of this country have
been diligently searching for for ages.
Nothing will please the banks more than
the privilege of gathering together
enough of this non taxable wealth for
their reserve funds and although they
may have S25, 900 to $50, 900 in cool cash
lying away in their vaults, they will
smile at the assessor an the tax
gatherer. A few fixtures VII be the
sum total of property listed for taxation
by our banks. Senator PETER has thus
early in his official career demonstrated
his ability and inclination to attach to a
large volume of money feature which
will contribute materially TO the finan-
cial welfare and happiness of the pluto
Gratis.

The Kind of Man Garza Is.

Congressman Cram OF Texas says:
Cara. the Mexican revolutionist " no
is creating so much stir along the Rio
Grande, is one of the gamest men l ever
met He looks the typical frontier
desperate, yet he is not rude, illiterate
fellow, as some might imagine. He i,
fairly well educated, and prior to his
late bold break was running a small
newspaper, printed on the Texas side in
the Spanish language. Cara has been
in countless private brawls and is
lucky fellow to be alive, for he has been
pierced by many bullet"

THAT ANSMISSOURI FREIGHT

Mr. Ady's petition to The United State
circuit court prayi g for the dissolution

sets out in full the articles of agreement

IF that combine. A copy of that docu-
but an innocent memorandum, for

inclu ing all traffic delivered to eastern
roads. The combine met once each
month, with one man IN it from
each of the roads, armed with
full power from his management to act
and to be responsible for all rates on his
road. a subcommittee under article
three is empowered to establish rates on
everything on all the roads in interest,
subject only to the revision of the full
combine. Under article five, if any
member should insist en- a reduction on
any rate against the views of the major
ity, the combine could punish him by re-
duclng other rates. The sixth article
declares that any road in the trust at
to make rate of its own does
so at its peril giving the association the
power to discipline such road and force
it to withdraw such rates. The chair
man is, by rule eight, instructed to COM
pile aud publish the rates for all the

The Habit of Overwork.

From The Chicago Herald.
Senator Plumb's death from overwork
has given rise TO many trite reflections
on the dangerous strain imposed by
American life rs the price of success. 1t
does take work to succeed, but it is
nevertheless true that success is still to
obtained by judicious and healthful
labor. Many men work themselves to
death long after their ambition has been
destroyed by gratifcation-long after all
definite stimulus to overexertion has
passed away. To great extent over
work is habit rather than a necessity.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew ought to be
good authority on recreation, but when,
as a means Of averting a mental or
physical breakdown, he advises the ex-
tremely busy man to switch his mental
machinery off to some channel which
gives rest, his advice should be taken
slowly. The theory that the exercise of
one set of faculties is a rest to the
others is only true within limits and on
the principle of counter-irritation. On
the same mistaken idea Dickens used to
counteract mental exhaustion by the
physical exhaustion produced by long
walks. Change is good; but change
from one form of overwork to another is
of very questionable utility. The gain
is merely relative, while the loss is alb
solute.

The commissioner of internal revenue
says that Kansas is the only state which
is producing sorghum sugar. Last year
the production of the state was 1872, 044
pounds. Only three factories in Kansas
have applied to him this year for the
bounty. They are the Parkinson sugar
company of Fort Scott, the Medicine
Lodge sugar works and refining COM
pany, and Pape and Hansford of North
Topeka. The Parkinson company planted
l 200 acres of cane and estimated their
production at 100000 pounds. The
Medicine Lodge company had 2,434
acres planted, but their estimate pro-
duction is only 100000 pounds. Pape
and Hansford report to the commissioner
that they planted 1900 acres and say
they will apply for bounty on about
/ 100000.
