that colony have not been forthcoming.
Their heaviest 6-driver freight engines
seldom exceed AZ tons In dead weight,
while their passenger engines of less
than 25 tons are very frequently seen.
If those railway officials would take a
25.days' trip over to the western portion
of the United States, they would learn
of something to their advantage. They
could visit the Tehschepi pass on
the Southern Pacific and scrutinize
the mechanism OF the massive "Gober-
nador" locomotive, the largest ever
built on this coast; and thence they
could 20 north to the Northern Pacific's
tunnel through the Stampede pass, in
the Cascade range, and see the two
largest locomotives in the world. And
tn ey would not be Obliged to duplicate
any one of the three in order to serve
the requirements of their own traffic.
The ordinary freight engines of any one
of our six tranecontinental roads, weigh
ing from 60 to 70 tons. would be quite
heavy enough for any business they will
have in the next sixty years.
But this goes to show the actual differ
ence between the average British and
American minds. "a mems minds 60.
The English people lived thirty years
without the convenience OF sleeping
coaches and their colonists across the
equator are just beginning to see
the necessity of them. But in the
matter of freight transportation those
good-natured and hospitable colonists

ger prices for their produce than W Q do,
but are worse off at the end OF the year
because railway charges eat up all the
profits. And this because the railway
officials have not kept up abreast of the
times, as we have done in America and
will still continue to do.
The American is the child OF necessity
and for three centuries has known the
value Of poverty as a discipline. That
discipline has created the splendid fiber
go clearly exemplified in Franklin,
Morse, Fulton, Edison, Mccormick and
Westinghouse. Wherever the American
emergency arose, the American invent
i've power was equal to it. And in the
matter of land transportation America
has long since demonstrated that the
best paying traffic is that which hauls
the longest distance and handles its car
goes the least. The Britishers to the
south of the equator can take lessons of
US in transportation by land for many
years to come, and that with profit to
themselves.

QUIETLY ARRESTED.
A HANDSOME WOMAN AND A MAN
LOCKED UP.
Charges of Larceny to Be Filed Against
Thorn Evidence Against the
Woman-Who the Cou-
pie Are.

Detectives Goodman and Bose vi made
a sensational arrest at 5 O'Clock last
evening, which promises some very racy
developments.
The matter was kept so quiet that the
details are not known. Enough leaked
out, however. to show that sever raj
charges OF larceny may be placed against
the woman in the case, while the man
may fare worse.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. E.
Montgomery, who conducts the lodging
apartments in the Potomac block, 217
South Broadway, omplained to Deputy
District Attorney Rush that che had
lost numerous articles, and that sus-
picion fell upon handsome young
woman named Dora Norguide. The
woman had formerly roomed in the
Potomac, and things had been found in
her room that indicated she knew some"
thing, at least, OF the stolen articles.
Mrs. Montgomery swore to search
warrant which was placed in the hands
OF the detective. They also had another
search warrant sworn to by S. D. Miller,
q clerk in Eagleson's furnishing store.

and it appears that during his absence
his room was entered and several arti-
cles stolen, among them being a very
valuable UNI brella.
The detectives proceeded to the young
woman's room in the Van Nuys lodging
house, on South Main street, where she
had recently moved. They made a
search OF the room. found some Of the
missing property, and placed Mise Nor
guide under arrest. They also arrested
a young Englishman, named Charles
Dayton, who was staying at the house.
When he saw the detectives he attempt
ed to escape by running into a closet
and locking the door.
Detective Bosqui filled valiss with
numerous articles, Detective Goodman
doing likewise, and they marched both
the woman and Dayton to the city Jail.
The arrest was made 80 quietly that but
few knew what was going on.
Specific charges will likely be filed
against the accused this morning, and
until this ia done all the facts will not
be known. The detectives are busily
engaged in working on the case.

THE AMERICAN IDEA in TRANSPoRTA-
TON.

It il an American principle in the
work of farm. that if your horse is
not big enough to haul the load, you
must buy or breed bigger one. the
same principle holds good with regard
to railway transportation. If your mot
i've power is insufficient for the negoti-
alton OF steep gradients with heavily
loaded trains, all you have to do ia to
build or buy heavier locomotives. In
this way the American passenger engine
has advanced but little, while the
freight engines of this country challenge
the world for weight aud traction power.
This is because the true American
always keeps up with the procession.
The last papers received from the Aus
tralian colony Of Victoria, where all
the railways are owned by the govern
ment, would indicate that O serious
wrangle ia going on between the rail.
way officials and the primary producers
of that colony. The farmers claim that
the freight rates on grain, wool and
fruits are too high and consume all the
value of what they are and have been
producing; and that those crude staples
can be shipped to market over Ameri-
can railways, at similar distances, for
rates vary ing from So to 81 per cent OF
what they are obliged to pay. This.
they claim, cuts off all profit upon agri-
culture and fruit-growing, and forces
them to return to pastoral avocations.
By way OF rebuttsl. the railway off :
Gals state that it is impossible for then
to give any lower rates, because the Rra-
dents are heavy and the engines light,
thus compelling three trains to be run
to do the same work that one train
could do en- a well equipped road. like
the Great Northern in Montana for ex-
ample. The Victoria officials virtually
acknowledge their inability to keep up
with the passing show" Their roads
were begun thirty-dve years ago. exper-
mentally of course, in an era whsn
there was no agriculture worth talking
about. They were built of compara-
lively light iron, over experimental era-
dents that could easily be reduced in
obedience to the demands OF a growing
traffic. and equipped with the lightest
available rolling stock in order to de-
crease the wear of track iron.
In the mean time placer mining has
30 declined as to become almost a for.
gotten vocation; and the tllling OF the
soil has superseded it to q great extent.
AS the natural grasses have been eaten
away by years OF sheep growing with
out respite to the land, the culture OF
oats and barley for horses has become a
necessity. This calls into play heavier
cars and heavier locomotives, which
likewise demand heavier rail and lower
gradients wherever available, but such
reformations in the railway traffic Of

THERE is evidently a decadence in

the pictures in the house cost Reed fully
that sum. In 1884 he refused an offer OF

A ROUGH BUT CERTAIN CONCLUSION.

The American people perhaps more
thoroughly than any other are familiar
with what Is known ss "bluff." What
the Republicans have characterized as
"pop gun" tariff bills have been passed
by the house of representatives as an in
cident OF its surrender to the senate.
If the lower house intended to sur
render at the last ditch, why did it begin
it's process OF regeneration and delay
The thing the country has needed be-
yond all things has been the adjustment
of its business interests on some scale
which it could understand.
We are afraid that the Democratic
house of representatives has really only
carried out the lines OF Dryden ss respects
a certain king of France, which ran:
The king OF France with forty thousand men,
Marched up the hill and then marched down
again.
After giving to the senate prolonged
challenge, which meant, week after
week, an agonizing suspension of the
business OF the country, 1t was naturally
to be expected by the people that some
thing short of an entire and uncondi-
tionsl surrender would aignalize the
action OF Chairman Wilson and his COM
pailsros. But an entire and unqualified
surrender the whole programme has
proved to be!
Alas! and alack-a-dayl Where can
the 'unterrifed" look for comfort in
view of such untowsrd events? The
portcullis is liable to drop upon a
flying Democrat even as he meets the
moat of refuge, and chop him in it's
descent from chin to chine. Alas and
