roads DO not nave the earning capacity
of the Pennsylvania railroad and put
up their capital account faster than
the traffic will bear"
The Pennsylvania company has been
compelled to reduce its freight rates on
iron shipments from Pittsburg to Chi
cago, Detroit, Cincinnati and other
western points, tina cut ranging from
cents " ton to 75. according to dis
tance. For several weeks past rail
roads running out Of Cleveland to west
ern points have been making n cut IN
rates on iron and steel. which natur-
ally led Pittsburg shippers to send
their products west to Cleveland over
the Cleveland and Pittsburg rail
road and thence to more distant
points over the rate cutting lines,
While the Pennsylvania company So
curod the business as far ~ Cleveland,
1t lost 1t sor points west. and nothing
was left for 1t to do but to arrange its
rates to meet the cuts Of other roads,
The cut Is to continue into eit5ot. how

ADMIRATION FOR GALL.

The American people are altogether
inclined to pardon a man because he is
cute. They have great admiration for
a speaker/who can slip gracefully out of
hole, caring little if he does not ex-
plain his mistake, just so he escapes from
the charge which has been put upon him
and shows a superior amount of tact and
shrewness in doing it.
Right now the people are being enter
tanned by the Democratic free traders.
Congress has adjourned. The people
have not mad time to forget the months
and months of dlllydallying of that
body. But, upon the very heels of that
adjournment, the Democrats are out
telling the people that free trade is a
wonderful thing. an advantageous
thing, beautiful thing and a practical
thing. The people know as they listen
that when the Democrats had a chance
to inaugurate free trade they fell down
like miserable towards. The peonle
know, while they are laughing at the
Democratic speeches, that the Demo
Gratis had majority in both branches of
the legislative government, and Dem
ocratic president, and if the free trade
idea was so sublime, and as practical as
sublime, that il was their business 10
pass il. They understand that when il
came down TO the actual business of
putting free trade into practice it was
found TO be impossible, and Democratic
house and a Democratic senate and :,
Democratic president all took to the pro-
tectiye woods.
Still, Harter of Ohio, knowing that
the people of this country know this
viii come out and face a body of in
telligent men and tell them 5razenly
that free trade is the thing, and the
country must have II. lie uses the
same old free trade argument about the
consumer paying the tax, and asks the
people to support the Democratic party
on those grounds, gently and adroitly
emitting the fact that by the edict of a
I Democratic house, a Democratic senate
and Democratic president the people
are today paying an increased tax on
tnelr sugar.
When Harter poured forth his free
trade raphsody the crowd interrupted
him with frequent applause. They
knew what the Democratic party has
been doing for the last year. and knew
that it has entangled itself in a net of
| inconsistencies and i1iocies as no party
was ever entangled before. But know.
ing this, they were interested and
pleased with the cunning of the Ohio
| free trader. They enjoyed his speech.
1t was tickling their fancy with i lot of
rose-tinte free trade theories and they
were pleased.
| But when these same men get into the
voting booth; when they think seriously
Of how much harder life has been 10
them in the last two years than 1t HIS
ever been before; when they ponde,
over the fact that when the Democratic
party had a chance to put these beauti-
full free trade ideas into effect, and make
these free trade dreams = tangible real

WHEAT AND CORN.

The relative price of wheat and corn
for the past two years has caused 4 good
deal of experiment and discussion as 10
the availability of wheat for feeding
cattle and hogs. The fact that wheat
can be grown at any altitude and in
almost any climate renders il = far more
universal crop than corn and the compe-
tition in growing it is so much greater
that il is not improbable that it Ill con-
tinue TO sell at price near that of com.
1t has long been an unsettled question as
10 the mosseconomical wsv 10 feed corn
and as wheat feeding is In It's infancy
those using it for that purpose have
nothing to guide them. However, those
who have tried 1t claim good results and
also claim that a bushel of wheat Is
worth more than bushel Of corn fer
feeding purposes. At The present time
but little Kansas wheat is going 10 the
large grain markets, as the stock feeders
of Iowa are able to pay more for II than
II Is worth for milling purposes. II
wheat should be fed TO any considerable
extent, il Will reduce the surplus and
naturally stimulate the price, which
would soon stop its substitute for corn.
Screenings and very low grade wheat
have for q long time been IN demand for
chicken feed, but 10 throw good milling

LET TIE MOON ALONE.

1t has long been believed that the
moon is simply cinder-a burnt-out
world Hopping around in space watch
ing for something to fall ON. But the
astronomers have always doubted this,
and have been inclined 10 believe that it
is inhabited. In the Brashear establish
ment at Pittsburg there is now being
constructed, under the superintendency
of Professor Keller of the Allegheny OBJ
seryatory, gigantic telescope, the tube
of which is seventy feet long, and with
glass twenty Inches larger than the
one used az Lick observatory. Now the
astronomers believe that this instrument
Is going to reveal a great many secrets
of the armament to them, and Professor
Keller himself is leaning to the hope
that it will show the people straddling
about on the rough surface of the moon.
He says he ''sees no reason why the
question as to the habitation of the moon
should not be finally settled when this
wonderful instrument is erected.
1t is 10 be hoped that it will not be
settled. Nobody but those who are
actuated by idle curiosity care whether
the moon is occupied or not. We have
got more than we can attend to. as it Is
now. The world is altogether too large.
Look at that Chinese war. Almost
everybody is pining for a rip-snorting
old battle. But when the Japs do wal
lop the Chinese, or the Chinese yank the
Japs cross-eyed, 1T is a month before we
get all the particulars, and then they
are incomplete. And yet, mundanely
speaking, China and japan are just
around the corner from us.
The whole world is pining for big
fight. All the civilized nations have
been Dragging SO much about their de-
structive guns and smokeless powder
that they have become afraid of one an
other, and are dwelling IN sweet but
cowardly peace. China and Japan
finally broke loose and have been fight
ing for fully month. Not
withstanding, the world has not
been favored with good
account of rafting battle yet. The
Chinese troops have been moved here
and the Japanese troops have been trans
ferred there, and the Coreau troops have
been pulled all over the eastern part of
Asia, but still there is an aching void IN
the human breast which only a sockdol-
ager wool-pulling scrimmage will fill.
If we can't get news and can't enjoy
the fights of the people only half way
round this little globe, what in the name
of common sense do we want to know
the moon is inhabited or rot?
As it is, the astronomers have
with the moon enough. If it
wasn't for the spring crop of love-sick
tides we could get along without it en-
tirely. Let the moon alone.

"SASSIETY' REJOICES.

1t was not noticed that the western
hemisphere tipped to the eastward last
week when Ward McAllister stepped
from an English steamer to terra firma
IN New York. He has been hobnobbinr.
it seems, with titled simpletons across
the water for few weeks. What was
gained to England or this country, or
who paid his expenses, or whether they
were paid at all or not, is of no possible

About ali there is in the trivial event is
the involuntary query: why should this
