BLUE MOUND. June "a


EDITORS News: This in reply to Rev
erend Churchman The world is still
ringing with the wonderful victory Of La
das, the winner of the English derby.
where fifty thousand church members
witnessed a running race won by horse
bred and trained by the English Premier
and high churchman. Lord Roseberry. II
was no crime that England's future king
with the bishops. archbishops and canons
of the church should witness a race where
twenty feet horses covered mile of turf
in 6s seconds. but the rigidly righteous
churchman Of Baxter Springs thinks il is
one of the objectionable sins when
couple of COW ponies run three hundred
yards for four dollar purse.
The Puritans abolished bear batting. not
because il was cruel to the bear. but be-
cause it gave pleasure to the people.
'Churchman" does not seem to think
horse racing is cruel. but he does not want
the people to enjoy themselves either in or
out Of the church. Perhaps he is one OF
those cold-blooded. impervious creatures
who is impervious to all human frailties.
or perchance he is hypocrite in holy
robe and has personal spite at Brother
Scott, or he may have disordered liver.
The Creator in His divine goodness. not
hate. has generously provided all manner
OF living things with the inclination TO
amuse themselves. and some means OF
amusement. To the animal man he has
in this respect been more than benihcent.
To those who have refused to accept these
gifts and have become ascetic monks. long
faced hypocrites. or bigoted fanatics. and
have become bilious through their bigotry.
the world is indeed dark and gloomy
cavern filled with dead skulls and bones
Of men whose lives have gone astray."
The truly righteous man not only worships
the Creator. but takes a lively interest in
created things. using his best faculties to
make the world bright and happy to those
around him.
There can be no cardinal sin In an hon
est horse race II Is elevating to the horse
and diverting 20 the spectator. II is
through these trials Of speed that our
horses have attained their usefulness and
wonderful properties. We are in an age
Of progress. and are no longer satisfied to

is THERE A WAY OUT?

There is a present prospect that the con-
ditions under which transportation be-
tween this city and Eastern ports are
conducted will lapse into tha monopoly
which prevailed before the uprising in
1892. What the Panama Railway Com
pany PROPOSES to do is known only TO
themselves. but it Is not deemed probable
that the company will carry on an unpro-
fitable opposition to the Pacific Mail for
the benefit of California. The Panama
company are common carriers, and as such
their interests are to an extent Identical
with those of competing companies. In
other words, while they may compete in
getting business there will be an agreement
at a time which will make the business
profitable.
The situation suggests like unity OF
action On the part OF the people of Cali
fornia. 1t is now within the power OF the
Southern Pacific to throw California into
a condition of congestion. Every year we
are increasing the amount of products
which find their sale in the more populous
States of the East. The amount Of our
sales to these Eastern cities depends
largely upon the cost of tran sportation. Is
IL Qull6 safe tOE ~ oIiO" ohS
company of common carriers to determine
what these rates OF transportation shall be!
Is not there a chance that the common
carrier monopolist may think that rates
should be high enough TO cover all the
profits of production after absolute ex-
penses are paid. The principle Of charg-
ing all the traffic will bear may be tolerated
so long as there are two parties in equally
independent positions TO determine what
the traffic can bear. If there was compe-
tition the producer would allow the COM
mon carrier rates that would cover the cost
of service with reasonable profit allowed.
But if there were no competition the COM
mon carrier would exact all the proceeds
of production except that which would
Keep the producer alive. The present out
look is that the producers of California
are going to accept what the common car
rier will be pleased to leave them. There
will be some limited competition by the
Cape Horn route, but this is only available
for products that need not be hurried to
market. We cannot send green fruit nor
vegeta bes East by that route. The mer-
chants of this city and the producers of the
interior should take counsel together to
devise a way out of the conditions which
it Is apparently in the power of the South
ern Pacific Company to impose.

SCHOOL TEACHERS SALARIES.

When the schooI-teachers were before
the last Legislature asking to have pen
sioBs allowed them at the close of service
there was a somewhat general understand
ing that pensions should be accompanied
Dy a decrease in salaries. The present
schedule of salaries 1t was said was based
on the assumption that teachers might
make provisions for retirement out of
their yearly incomes. But if the pension
proposition was carried decrease in
salary to a living basis would be cOnsid-
cred just. The recent talk about reducing
salaries has grown out of the talk about
pensions. 1t is the opinion of some of our
most prominent educators that the present
provision for the schools is ample and,
consequently. if the teachers insist upon
being pensioned the pension fund should be
taken from the present total. Some of the
older teachers would profit by this change.
The younger teachers would lose CORE
spondiDgly. Those who do not remain in
service the twenty years the pension prop
osition con sidered the service qualification
for pension will lose to the extent of the
reduction. A decrease of assistant
teachers salaries from $50 or $50 to $50
would call out vigorous protests from
teachers who do not expect to make teach
ing life business.

THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE

There is some disposition in the House
to question tbs right of the Senate and the
executive to nullify an act of Congress.
Can two departments Of Government dis
pose of a law in the enactment of which
the three departments concurred? When
the House, the Senate and the executive
join in the enactment of law which con-
flicts with an existing treaty it may be said
in support of the superior authority of the
law that it was, to greater extent than a
treaty, an expression of public opinion.
But when the executive and the Senate
make a treaty to overthrow an act Of Con-
gress which the three departments had
acted in concert in making. the later ex-
ercise of power is less broad in its source
than the exercise oil power 1t sought TO
overthrow. The House has passed two
restriction acts and one exclusion act.
The treaty under consideration in the
Senate wipes these off the statute-books
Chinese are allowed by the treaty to re-
turn on other conditions than those i'm
posed by the law to which the House was
a party. The exclusion act which Presi-
dent Cleveland hurried through Congress
under the pressure of Presidential CAM
paign is literally chucked overheard. A
:artoonist might give pictured version

LET HIM Do 1T.

Senator Higgins of Delaware said in ref
erence to the present condition OF affairs
in Hawaii that he had seriously thought
of offering a resolution requesting the
President to send back to the Senate for
consideration and ratification the treaty of
annexation. Such a resolution would
come now in good time. The islands are
in state of foment The adherents of
the Queen refuse to take the oath neces-
sary to take part in the coming Constitu-
tional Convention for the reason that it
pledges them to support the Provisional
Government until another is installed.
The Hawaiian idea of loyalty to govern
meDt is apparently not mpTehensive. 1t
seems to permit one party to work to over
throw the Government in case it fails to
control it. The resolution Senator Hig-
gins has under consideration would, if
adopted by the Senate, check this tendency
to revolution. It would be considered in
the islands as preliminary TO annexation.
The question has repeatedly been raised if
President Cleveland has a constitutional
right to recall from the Senate treaty his
predecessor had sent to that body. The
executive act was completed when the
hedty was uellheIeu W inc CoHaIe' IIoin
that time the consideration of the treaty
rested with the Senate. One President is
bound by the act of preceding President.
If an act of President Harrison had led
to war it would not he in his successors
power to undo what had been done. Il
would be his duty to conduct the war with
vigor until an honorable peace could be
negotiated. Other usurpations of author
ity of more arrogant character have dis
tracted attention from this one. But if
the resolution shall come before the Senate
it is likely that Senators would let the
President know how his demand upon the
Senate for document entirely In their
custody is regarded.

right? OF course Mrs. Bake means that
the sex, of which she is anything but a
silent ornament, is silent only In a relative
sense. Women speak sometimes. but not
so often as men. Their resolute mo" has
carried dismay to many stout masculine
heart and their f1utterng ''yes" has lifted
men to the pinnacle of human happiness
But these are opportunities that do not
come even to the most fortunate of women
every day.
