The Union Pacific has elected to force
the fighting in the trnnscontiucutnl pas
senger rate war. Several Of its manag-
ing officials have declared that the rates
must 90 lower before they can 20 higher
and are more than willing TO apply the
heroic treatment Of Liberal reductions.
In the belief that this would bring about
a spcedier advance IN rates they have
put the Union Pacific in first class fight
ing trim by Withdrawing from all usso-
ciatiuus.
The excuse for reductions is now fur
nished the Union Pacific in the refusal
u the Canadian Pacific to advance
Worlds fair rates 10 Chicago until Nov.
10 The Union Pacific has notified all
lines concerned that will advance these
rates on Nov. } and will hold compete
tors responsible il they full to likewise
advance. The Canadian Pacific will, of
course. not advance and this IL exactly
the opportunity for which The Union IA.
enc is looking. II will reduce It's regIi-
lar rates TO me,7 the reduccdIu les
quoted by the Canadian Pacific. This
VIII put the Eight ON just the rates which
VIII reduce revenue the most aud under
ordinary circumstances would bring
about a meeting at which all lines would
agree 70 advance rates
Afht ~ AAlN NslNf lll' CIRCUMSTANCES are
different. The Canadian Pacific is as
mrl a fighter Us any rold in the coun-
try and its officials declare It will meet
any reduction, hut will not advance a
rate until all competitors have advanced.
Besides this II win enforce its dilfcrcntial
rate aud will consequently quote u lower
through rate than any competitor until
the rate gets down 10 zero. This differ
entail warfare is always the hardest kind
of q warfare aud with the Canadian
Pacific backing the demand there Is
apt 10 be more protmctcd contest than
any IN the history Of biilruldiug.
This Unconstitutional passenger rate
war has continued since the Great
Northern built through TO the Pacific and
has been steady drain on the trans
continental lines. Taken in connection
with the immigrant commission war.

The Railway Age.
In Lis annual report the srperintend-
ent Of the railway mail service makes
strong recommendation that the use Of
oil lamps in mail cars be abandoned. The
recommendation is based on two grounds
firstly because Of the danger Of conAa-
graiion caused either by lamp explo-
Sion or hy the breaking Of The lamps
in a wreck. aud secondly because Of tue
damage which Is not inireluenily caused
by the scattering Of oil from broken
lamp over mail matter even when no
coniasratiou fakes place. The report
cites forty-tl.ree cases Of damnge from
these sources which have occurred dur
ing the year; and ihe aggregate loss "a
all thesc cises 10 the people 'tnonsh lnu
exact amount Of the loss Is necessarily
moi always ascertainable) must have

As The Gazette stated yesterday, to-
days meeting ut ST. Louis will settle the
matter Of freight rates for Texas. Re
garding the matter the Houston Post
says:
The fact that several traffic managers
of the different railroads engaged in the
present rate war were in Chicago ills
week was announced in The Post last
Wednesday.
A conclusion was drawn from this evil
dence to the effect that some understand
ing would be reached in regard to meet
ing Of the Southwestern Traffic assocla-
ton. On the heels of ills statement came
the announcement yesterday from Chica-
go stating that meeting of the associa-
ton would be held in ST. Louis next
Monday, November 6.
AT length there is some prospect of an
adjustment of the demoralized rates in
the Southwest. That the traffic men We're
anxious to get together has been very
evident for some days, and some harniO-
NOUS conclusion was no doubt hastily
reached In regard to the forthcoming
meeting.
The following traffic managers were in
Chicago Thursday: Parker of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Bein of the Southern Pa
oihc aud Houston and Texas Central.
Miller Of the Missouri, K,lnsas and
Texas, McCabe Of the Rock Island.
Dodge of the Cotton Belt and Gale Of

1t is almost astonishing, when we take
account Of the money stringency, closing
of factories, business failures, etc, that
have marked the first nine months of
the year 1903, aud when we take ac-
count also of the local calamties in many
of the states that have been due 10
storms, floods. pestilencc and partial crop
failures, to find that railway cOnStruc-
ton has gone forward during the same
period to the extent it has. To be sure,
the extent has been limited, in compari-
SON with that In corresponding periods
of the seven previous years; hut the won
der is that it has not been far more
limited than it has been.
Here, according TO figures for which
The New Orleans Times-Dcmocrat is
indebted to the Railway Age, is the
amount of ,track building that has been
accomplished during the first three-quar-
tiers Of the present year:
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1893-11-06

These 20iO miles Of track were nc-
tually laid on Sept, 30. and the probable
titles are strong that the length of mile
age viii be increased to 1000 miles in
the course of the next three months
II will be observed that there are only
five state, in the Union. Connecticut
Delaware. Maryland. Nevada and Yer
mont. which have done no trackllying
al all so far this year; frat the old state
Of Pennsylvania heads the list with
extensions on as many rs fprty-three
lines 10 the united aggregate OF 3Ol
miles: that the states following it most
closely are North Dakota with 100
miles, Texas with III miles. Missouri
with 40 miles. Ohio with 40 miles
and Florida with 103 miles, and that
the average length Of new trck-build-
ing on the lS2 lines where II has been
going forward is eleven miles. Michigan
Is wooden SPOON with hardly one mile
Of new track during the year TO its
credit.
Although aOi0 miles of new railway
in nine months Is great falling on. rs
we said, from our previous record, II
would be credit for any Of the conn
tries Of Europe, When they construct
1000 miles Of track Ia year over there,
they inbilatc as IL they had done
something.

set a quaint old fireplace, is a little, long
bed room over the archway; and in this
Thomas Carlyle was born. Altogether the
place is uninviting, meager, hard, austere.
Disassociating the man Thomas Carlyle
from the herOism of his lofty work, you can
not come to one spot made warm, tender and
glowing for his having been IL part of it.
Even the dreary old kirk-yard where he
lies, but a few steps from where he was
born, intensiies the feeling that something
OF the human and humane was lacking, or
was denied, his whole line. There does not
seem TO be one soul in all the region where
he was born and reared who recalls the
family name with loving kindness and re-
spect. To be known as u pilgrim to the Car
lyle home and tomb is to be regarded with
suspicion and sneers. The very gravestone
is parsimonious and shabby; the enclosure
unkempt; weeds and bramblcs crowd the
spot closely the lad that unlocks the gate
smokers behind you, and as you stand for a
little time leaning upon the iron railing in
contemplation of the lonely, neglected grave
of this rare old warrior in the field of let
tiers, you cannot but wonder, after all, if any
true greatness can ever exist so far above
the heads and hearts of the lowly that they
are not reached, aided and encompassed by
it. EDGAR l.. WAKEMAN.

EccLEFEcuAN, Scotland, Sept. 14-TCorre-
spondence of The BEE. Some English
tramps were singing for their breakfasts
before the doors of the grave Scottish vii
layers of Ecclefechan when | tramped into
the hamlet behind them. There were five
of them, great, hulkIng fellows, and their
hoarse and aggressive believing was the
only sound indicative of human life in the
village, even Mt that late hour of the morn
ing. They stood beside a melodious burn
which dashed from under n covered way and
coursed on through the village street.
AT one side of the stream was an ancient
wall. On the other were struggling houses,
and tho one before which the vagabonds
lifted up their narrowing voices was one of
the plainest and quaintest in Ecclefechan.
From its appearance 1t might have been an
olden stable, an abandoned lodge at the en-
trance TO some gentleman's establishment
formerly located behind it, or the ancient
jail OF the village, now smartly whitewashed
and transformed into a lowly habitation. 1t
was n mite of n thing, with an archway
through 1t occupying one-third of the lower
story.
AT each side was n narrow oaken door,
and, nearer each end, n tiny window, In the
second story another little window above
each lower one looked into the street; and
over the center of the archway were two
still more dimlnutive windows, sido by side.
IL was Il double house of the dwarf variety,
and the one at the north end, where the
strong lunged sorners saug, was the birth
place of Thomas Carlyle.
/, The believing had brought mutch-capped
guidwives TO various windows and alley en-
frances at safe distances. l loitered near
enough to hear them discuss the matin song
OF the tramps as well as the house and its
former occupants.
