CHICAGO, Aug. lo.--Whether or

be made by the roads in the Cen
trail Traffic Association will be de.
decided at the meeting of general
managers which is being held today
in the Rookery building One fare
for the round trip is likely TO be
adopted, as nearly all the roads are
satisfied that rates must be reduced
if general Generalization is to be
avoided. The action today will
have a powerful in fluence on the
western and southwestern lines that
are still keeping up rates and pre-
venting hundreds of thousands from
seeing the fair.

Buckeye State Democrats Meet.
Special to he News.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 10 The del
egates to the democratic state con-
vention came together this morning
with the prospects of hot days
work before them. The feeling is
growing this morning that Ex.Gov-
ernor Campbell will be forced to
take the nomination, owing to the
positive statements that neither
Lawrence r. Neal, Walter D.
Richie, who represent Senator
Brice, or Judge Hunt, will consent
to run. Several counties have been
instructed for Campbell. Col. w.
"A. Taylor, who made such phe-
nomenal run for secretary of state
last year; Frank Ii. Hurd, of To-
ledo; Congressman Johnson, of
Cleveland; and Congressman Outh-
waite, of Columbus, with Con.
gresham Donavan, of Napoleon,
and ExCongressman Haines, of
Fremont, all have their supporters,
and it will be free for all race.
There are several candidates for the
lieutep ant governorship, while G.
F. Alderman, of Mansfield, is
likely to be selected as nominee for
state treasurer, and Charles J.
,Spenny, of Columbus, as member Of
the board of public works. Four
or five names for the attorney gen.
eralship are likely to be presented.

The Proud Capital City.

The people of Austin have reason u
CONGRATULATE themselves and will re-
ceive the congratulations of the entire
state upon results, so far, Of work
which already affords the assurance
of incidental benefits in other direc-
tions than those for which it was
planned. To supply water for mu-
nicipaI purposes, including lighting
and power for factories, would have
been enough, but there they have a
great lake which at once takes first

aquatic sport. They may be seeing
some OF the great oarsmen locate their
homes at Austin. 1t may become the

A city favored by nature with a salu-
brious and agreeable climate, to which
ia Joined picturesque beauty OF
mountain and wood and surrounded by
a fertile county, may still need ad-
vertisipg, but unless disabled by lack
of industrial capacity such effort will
prove effective and that city will not
be confined to its attractions as re-
CARDS health, education and society,
but will become an objective point for
business men and toilers. 1t is this
gain which seems assured by the at
tainment of vast water power, There
is no good reason why cotton and
wooden factories should not be multi
piled in Texas till their chimneys be-
come feature as characteristic of the
river crossings as the herds upon the

safe to say large number will be dis
posed to watch their opportunity to
obtain a footing at a point with so

preciated by observation. Hence the
people of Austin will have their dam,

UNCLE SAM AND RUSSIA.

The extradltion treaty with Russia
has beer published and 1t Is not 80
bad as the sympathizers with Rueslah
pihilists represented. Murder or an
attempt to murder the heads of either
government, or members OF their
families, under the treaty shall not be
considered political oflense, ana
persons charged with the same may
be extradited The crimes for which
one may be extradited are murder
and manslaughter when voluntary,
rape, abortion, forgery, embezzie-
ment of public money by public otfi-
GERS and enlightenment by employees,
piracy or mutiny on shipboard and
wiiful and unlawful destruction of
railroads. Neither contracting party
is required to deliver its own
citizens. There is nothing in
this treaty by which Russia
could obtain the eXtradition of politi-
cal offenders. If some other charge
was made to cover the object of OBJ
tanning q political offender the charge
would have to be proved under our
law, and if the person was really 8
political offender that fact would
come out upon an examining trial In
this country and the application
would be denied.

and the opinion of the people OF this
country expressed on the subject?
The people of the United States
have the right to know everything
their agents are doing. This
is a government of the people through
their chosen agents, and those agents
have no right to involve US in foreign
complications without first knowing
what we the people think about it.
This star chamber business ought to
be abolished and the action in such
matters made to conform to popular
government. Let nothing be done in
secret, but let every thing be done IN
the open day and in full view OF the
sovereign people.

great progress made towards estab-
fishing friendly relations between
Austria and Russia has created con-
siderable excitement in Europe, es-

shadows the disruption of the triple

medal, June 8--The statement is re-

that Samoan affairs are approaching
a climax. Indeed before this is read
Malietoa and Mataafa may have tried
conclusions and the all-important
question as to which is the stronger
party may forever be decided. Lately
several important events have taken
place, and it now seems as if active
hostilities were on the very point Of
being commenced. A fortnight ago
Mataafa addressed a letter to King
Malietoa, in which he made peaceful
overtures, reminded his majesty
of bygone occurrences and
suggested that a huge and
general meeting of Samoans be held
to choose q monarch. He suggested
various villages as suitable places to
hold the proposed meeting and repeat
eddy appealed to the king mot to be
angryn with him Opinions differ as
to the chances of opposing parties, and
under existing circumstances it is
simply impossible to obtain reliable
information as to their numbers and
comparative strength. Feeling al
ready runs high. There have been
fights and assaults and all sorts OF
doings.

THE "TREATING" HABIT.

The war upon the creating" habit
has spread all along the line. Some
OF the papers inquire why should a
man treat another to q cocktail any
sooner than he would to pair OF
socks? Drinking is a social habit, and
when man wants to enjoy society
fully he begins to drink and to invite
others to drink with him. Very few
men love liquor for the mere taste In
drinking it. They crave social enjoy
ment and the social glass soon puts
them in q condition to laugh earnestly
and immoderately at the most anti
uuated chestnut. If social reformers
want to accomplish any good in sup
pressing the drink habit they have
gone at it in the right way by at
tempting to break up the habit OF
creating" 1t makes more
drunkards than any other one thing.
Many men who are in the habit
of taking several drinks day might
never become drunkards, but by meet
ing others Of the same habit and then
begins round of treats emphasizing
the Jokes that are told, and before
they know it all of them are intoxi-
Gated. Whereas, if each of them had
gone into bar room by himself and
taken a drink and gone out there
would have been no intoxication. The
of the habit of treating
would sooh sober all men.
